l.;s evident that there has not been for
years such a general feeling of indignation
ali through the North as has been produced
boys a. Caushat.a. Democratic papers are
as prompt as those OF the Republican party
to 'denounce this last &C: Of worse than
heather brutality-this las: venomous
thrus. Of the writing monster TO the bar
barisn OF slavery. And with their ;ndigna-
ton ss blended surprise that up TO this
time no prominent Conservative Of Louis.
lana has uttered one word o. written
single !ina g. condemn the crime or de-
nounce the criminals. They wonder it it is
the whip OF party discipline that keeps the
Southern people silent in the presence OF
suc'l cutrages. However this may be from
tihe fac: they draw their differences.

tusky and Tennessee. These accounts come
to Is with as much regularity as they did
wnen President Johnson commenced t.
coques with the South for presidential
nomination. The result then was the solid.
tying of the Republican party OF the North
and West in bite: antagonis,n to the South.
and the election OF General Grant TO the
Presidency BIZ Az overwhelming majority.
Ii the South desires 10 regain its influence in
national affairs It must put stop to these
marauaing bands. This sacrifice Of human
lie must cease. and il: Stats authorities are

be escorted to. The louisville Courier.
Journal. the leading Democratic paper Of
:'s section. is proving i'sai! the wises. friend
Of the South. by demanding that the law.
less Cutcages OF the whites upon the blacks
%! Kentucky and Tennessee should be y;s.
.tea with the severes: penalties of the law.
In these two States the whites are in the
majority. and ther can make no pre:ence Of
being oppressed by the blacks. The Loa,r.
.e:--Jow.:1a! says: ''The folly OF the Middle
State maraudecs IN numbering and ;ortur.
ing the blacks is as conspicuous as their
brutality. and the sooner a few OF them are
brought 20 the galiows the better i. will ae
tor the real interests OF the South.''
Another gieam o: ligh: IN the darkness
appears IN the pages Of the Atlanta sGeorgia;
Herald. which uses the following language:
''lt is :ne duty OF every clear headed. sober
thinking man 30 deprecate anything like
lawlessness on the part OF the white people.
Unless by calm and quiet behavior they
keep down che disturbances and .,ueli tho
riots. the:e Is bu. one result: ahead Of lie.

which assassination vii: be the rule and the
torch weapon OF warfare. The white race
is the stronger in numbers. In resources and
in intelligence. 1t can afford 80 treat with
