EB- Among some resolutions passed
by negro meeting in Nashville week
or two since, was one characterizing the
death of Ben Nelson, cold, at this place,
as cold blooded or unprovoked muir
der by white men, as the result of race
antagOnism. Ben Nelson met his death
by interfering in a personal difficulty in
which he had no interest or business,
and in which there was no race question
involved. True q white man and ne
gro were fighting, but it was about a
horse swap and not civil rights or any
other question pertaining to the races.
The white man had placed himself on a
civil with the negro, and they fell out,
and when they came to blows Ben Mel
son and others made the race issue by
siding with the negro and assaulting the
white man, without knowing anything
about the difficulty, and met his fate by
a rock thrown from unknown hands
supposed to be from one of the negroes.
He ran nearly hundred yards to get at
the white man, when he saw him fight
ing one of his own color. He will prob
ably let other people do their own fight.

The rule of Grant and the Radicals
has been anything but government of
peace. 1t has been an almost uninter-
rupted reign of terror and blOOdshed in
the very territory which had already
suffered from the horrors and desolatiOn
of a fratricidal war; and it will
continue to be marked by jealousies,
heart-burnings and carnage so long as
the executive and legislative power of
the federal administration is in the
hands of those who instigated hostilities
in order to obtain political pre-eminence,
and who, having gained their object
will not reiinquish it if civil disorders
and inteInecine contentious are needed
to sustain them in their possession OF
authority. There never will be peace,
nor prosperity, while there is party in
power which has none other than gun
| powder record on which TO base its
claims to public recognition, and whose
fortunes must be preserved, as they
were made, by a maintenance of ex-
element and violence.

With twenty-five United States Sena-
tors to be elected this year, no sensible
man will fail to see that the Radical
programme is to make capital out of
Southern disturbances. To create such
disturbances, emisaries are abroad to in
cite the negroes to acts of lawlessness
which demand white resistance. 1t
therefore becomes the whites to cOun-
teract this hellish scheme by the utmost
prudence in word and act. 1t is wiser
to bear wrongs patiently, as long as
they are bearable, than by precipitate
action, invite others more intOlerable.
Let our policy be purely defensive-so
conspicuOusly so that when we do act,
we shall have the full sanction of JUS
tice, and the approval of the world. Let
our bearing be in such striking contrast
with the conduct of the develish incen-
diaries that there can be but one opinion
as to where the guilt lies. In this way
we shall achieve a glorious victory, and
the enemy be rendered forever harmless
by the infamy of their policy.

EB- We are to have political elections
In November, and already the Northern
Adventures are goading the Southern
people to violence, hoping thereby to
manufacture capital by which they can
infame the North, bring down troops
upon the South. and carry the elections
by force and fraud. Let our people be
watchful of them. Defend yourselves
and your homes, but do it legally, and
by no means suffer yourselves to be pro-
voked to unnecessary violence. If they
violate the law, arrest and punish them
under the law, not over it. Whenever
they can thrust forward their dupes, the
negroes, and provoke us to violence, no
matter what the consequences are to the
negro, they will dol They see and feel
the Southern sceptre slipping from their
hands; the negroes themselves are losing
confidence in them, honest men are
growing more popular, and they must
do something desperate. They are no
friends to the negro only to use him as
a tool to aid them in their plumber of
the South. Let us be on our guard.

The Governor After Them,

Gov. Brown has been to Gibson coun-
ty the past week giving the weight of
his personal and official presence to the
Investigation of the Trenton horror.
He feels and sees the necessity of some
thing more than resolutions and procla-
nations to wipe out the foul stain upon
the escutcheon of our State, aud hence
he would bring the perpetrators of this
crime to speedy justice. For this pur-
pose he went to Trenton last Friday.
We have not learned the result of his
visit, but if the effort of one man, armed
with law and justice and panoplied with
moral and physical courage, who will
dare to do anything for right, can ac-
complish 1t, the miscreants will be APP
pretended and punished. Gov. Brown
is not afraid to do his duty.

SOUTHERN TROUBLES.
U. 8. Troops to OVerrun the
South Again.

Attorney General Williams has issued
a proclamation, with the advice and
consent of President Grant, addressed
to the u. S. Marshalls and Attorneys,
announcing the purpose of the govern
ment to station troops throughout the
South to suppress lawlessness. The
President, in his letter advising this
move, cites Louisiana, South Carolina
and Alabama particularly as showing
a disregard for law, civil rights and
personal protection Those States be
it remembered are under radical dOmin-
ion and negro supremacy, and the Pres
ident thus cOnfesses the failure of the
carpet-bag governments of those States
to give peace and protection to their cit
liens, after a trial of nearly ten years.
1t is a significant fact that most of the
atrocities we read of are committed in
States and districts where negroes have
the ascendency, and where radicalism
has full sway, and for which it shOuld be
held morally and legally responsible.
We do not approve mob violence under
any circumstances, but we do claim the
right of white men in the South to pro-
tect themselves and their families and
property against these hordes of plum
derers and thieves who have gOaded
them almost to desperation and to death,
when they come with open threats of
violence, as they have done repeatedly
throughout the South. Our Southern
people are too impnlsive, and some of
them have acted very hastily and I'M
wisely, and brought reprOach and con-
demnation upon all, when, in fact, no
people under the sun, as a mass, are
more charitable to the negro or more de-
sirous of amicable relations with him in
his proper sphere. Nor do our PEOPLE
entertain enmity to the negro. They
pity him and would help him, if the
politicians and plunderers who incite
him to hatred of the Southern whites
would go home and let him alone.
Grant should retrace his steps, and issue
a proclamation notifying these adven-
turers from the north, at whose instance
all the Southern crimes and atrocities
are provoked, to disperse to their homes
an internal set of thieves and villains.

From Bethel.

The colored c. p. Church on ShOal
creek near Bethel was burned last Mon
day night. Two years ago this church
was burned and rebuilt. The members
are not disheartened, however, as they
have already gone to work to rebuild it
the second time. We are glad to learn
that the incendiarism, for such it was in
both instances, is not attributed to race
antagonism. 1t is supposed by the ell
ders that some of their own color did
the work on account of some dissatis-
taction with the school.

The Southern Situation,


The New York Grdphio, while it con-
dennis Southern violence toward the ne
gro, and approves the action of Presi-
dent Grant in authorizing the use of
troops to preserve order, does not excuse
the government or the negro entirely.
1t says: "There is no doubt that the e11-
pertinent of negro suffrage at the South
has proved a lamentable failure. The
negroes were not prepared for the bal
lot by education, social position, habits
of self-support and self-contrOl, and
knowledge of affairs. = Their pre-
vious condition of servitude made them
suspicious of their former masters and
the Southern whites generally. But
they felt their helplessness, and took for
their leaders a class of unprincipled
northern adventures and southern
demagOgues. The result has proven to
be deplOrable, as might have been fore
seen. 1t will take a half century
TO educate the negroes up to the require
ments and responsibilities of citizen
ship
With this sententiOus and truthful
statement of the status and spirit of the
negro and his attitude toward the south
ern whites in its mouth, it is difficult for
one to see the consistency of the Graph
les subsequent arraignmento of the whole
South for the acts of few violent men
here and there, who, cOnfessedly, have
some provocation, if not Justification, in
the attitude and animus of the negro,
encouraged rs they are by these sun
principled Adventures" The Presi-
dent has made mistake. Let him hum
down these ''unprincipled northern adj
venturers" and send them home, anC
there will be no further trouble down
south.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1874-09-10

Sixty-five thousand Federal office
holders form the nucleus of the party
which is to nominate Grant for third
term, and elect him after his nomination.
The Democracy should not undervalue
such power. No other incumbent of
the Presidency looking for reelection
ever had such disciplined array of in
evitable adherents, or as devoted a one
to depend on. SiXty-five thousand men,
and butter of whose families depend on
Grants reelection, will labor hard to
accomplish it, and will vote early and
often, if needed. There is no power
equal to what Mr.. Calhoun denOminated
the cohesive power of public plumber, -
which holds together these sixty-five
thousand office holders.

In lieu OF the Chattanooga CONNER
cidrS proposition to take up John BaX-

ter, as a devoted follower Of the dGq in

these States and makes him the strong
