CS- We are sorry that our friend
Wade, of the Milan Exchange, should go
out of his way to misrepresent our po-
sitiOn on the Trenton horror. He knows
very well that in condemning the lynch
ing of those negroes, we did not approve
their previous threats or conduct. We
condemned both. But the lawlessness
of the negroes did not justify the law
lessness of the mob. The negroes were
wrested from the hands of the law
which had already taken cognizance o
their crime, and there was no excuse or
justification for the act of the mob in
numbering them. We still say it was a
cowardly and dastardly affair. The
negroes should have been punished, but
not murdered by a mob. Now friend
Wade, do by us like you ask Kirby to dc
by you.

Special to tho Louisville Courier journal.

WASHINGTON, Sep. 4.-There are quite
number of Republican Senators and
members now in the city, all of whom
have something to say about the recent
circular of Attorney General Williams
on the so-called outrage business in the
South. The carpet baggers are full of
eXultatiOn, and say the whole thing is
now over, meaning thereby that the
people in the States controlled by them
will be so cowed by Grants application
of bayonets that they will give up and
submit to be robbed without resistance.
This is the view taken by Patterson,
West and Sypher, who now feel that
they will have an easy time in South Car
Olina and Louisiana.
Senat@C .Cafneron, on his attention be-
ing called to-day to the disorder in the
South, rubbed his hands and said: "It
will do us gdOdl 1t will do us good.''
Chandler is reported to have said he
was "always ready to join in putting the
screws to the - of - down South -
An ex-member of Congress from Tex
as remarked that the war ought to have
lasted seven years longer, so as to have
completed it and broken the spirit of
the Southern people.
Attorney Williams is quoted as saying
before he left that the disturbances in
kentucky were equal TO those IN any
other State, and the Government would
use the most stringent measures to sup
press them. These disturbances Will
liams persists in regarding as political,
instead of being mere ncighborhood in
dividual feuds. The fact that Kentucky
is so largely and steadily Democratic
makes the feeling of the Government of
ticials very bitter against the State, and
there is a keen desire to get at the peo-
pie and in sOMe way or other break up
Democratic ascendency.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
The especial reference of the Presi-
dent in his letter to South Carolina was
the result mainly of Attorney General
Williams eXparte representations, who
has in turn been manipulated by the
leader of the South Carolina ring, Sen
ator Patterson. AS the only violations
of law in South Carolina in a good while
occurred recently at Georgetown, where
| two negro mobS cOntended, threatening
to burn and sack the town and no whites
were connected with it, the accusation
of the President is regarded as especially
slanderous and unprovOked. The Dem
Ocrats in South Carolina have for years
made no party contest; and they being
in the minority over $1,000 votes and
perfectly subiugated, it is obvious that
Senator Patterson does not need the mil
itary arm against them.
