According to Mr.. Van lerbilt's report, be-

Shore company was lifted over all its en-

Carpet Baggery.


1t is difficult TO estimate the harmful
effects that have been produced at the
south ny the army Of carpet baggers that
the policy OF the republican party has
spawned upon the unfortunate states OF
the south The great mass of them, thieves
by nature and plunderers from instinct,
sheltel1ng themselves behind an assumed
and absurd sentiment Of loyalty" have
bled the people until their veins are ex-
hausted, and they should now begone.
The result Of the November elections
meant, more than anything else, con-
demnation of that branch Of the policy OF
the administration which upholds carpet
baggery 1t condemned the policy OF put
ting class Of irresponsible. non-propertv
holders anu non-residents behind negro
power driven to the polls like sheep. and
through its force ruling and robbing the
people. 1t declared that it is high time
for the people of the south. led by its in
telligence and integrity, to enjoy that
justice, domestic tranquility and general
welfare which the great charter OF our
liberties processes 10 secure to them
The difference between the methods OF
meeting, the difficulties of the situation
at the south, which are inherent. may
be seen IN the recent messages of Gov.
Garland, the Democratic Governor OF Ar
kansas, and Coy. Ames. the Maine carpet
bagger who sits in the Gubernatoral chair
OF Mississippi GOV Garland urges the
need OF harmony, and peace and good
fellowship between the two races, and sets
forth his intention OF executing the laws
without regard to color or respect to per-
sons.
Coy. Ames, in his message to the Miss
lsslppi Legislature, body composed most
" OF blacks, makes most exciting and in
tiammable appeals to the prejudice of
race. 1t can have no other effect than 10
arouse the passions of the ignorant and
excltable blacks. and to lead To further
troubles.
The country sees all this, and perceives
its effect not only upon its political affairs.
but upon its business interests There is
poverty at the south and depression OF
business at the north The two sections
act and react upon each other a state
of things such as the course OF Ames tends
to create at the south results in neglected
industries and short crops Destitution
there produces short orders for northern
products, and unemployed workmen and
poverty here Thus this miserable business,
like two-edged sword, is cutting into the
yitals of both sections II is time for this
bad business to stop

That Burglary Case.

On Monday the DIST, Mr.. Beck, Ct Ken
lucky, in the national house Of rep, esenta-
tivcs, moved to suspend the rules and pass
resolution authorizing the appointment
of IA committee of five members to inquire
if any officer or officers of the United
States or of the District Of Columbia, or
any person in the employ of the United
States or Of the District had used any
means TO obstruct the administration of
the law in said District, and especially il
connection with the so-called safe-burg-
larry trial that said committee have power
to send for persons and papers, to exami1 e
witnesses under oath, to sit during the
session OF the house, and to report at any
time. On its face, this resolution seems
to be an entirely harmless inquiry. If no
person in the public employ, paid to see
to the execution of the laws. has helped
to obstruct their execution, the inquiry
would set accusation at rest and convict
Mr.. Beck and many other gentlemen OF
prominence and probity of most grave
offence. But the resolution was rejected
yeas 1888 nays S7-two thirds not voting
for it.
The saie-burglaly ease was a conspiracy
to tasten a charge OF burglary upon an
innocent citizen, entered into by treasury
detectives and others, who, upon trial, es-
capped conviction through the disagreement
OF the jury Since the trial new evidence,
OF Il most positive character. has been OBJ
tanned. This evidence was submitted by
the prosecuting attorney to the attorney
general Of the United States, with whom
