[From the Brooklyn Eagle ,-RepuJlican.
The cry Of "a war Of races" arises
those who have an interest in
precipitating it. We know snch a
war can't be raised in the South.
We don't believe that tho apprchen-
sion of one can be lied down the
OF the North. Every reflect
ing man knows that in the South now
it is not trace against race 1t is
honesty against thieves. 1t is re-
trenchment against bankruptcy. 1t
is economy against s~tealage. In
Vicks6urg the simple question was:
''Shall a policy which has rolled up
dept of che sixth of all our possess
on till it takes all ~ The
question was answered in the mega

voted yes" it was the fault Of their tn.
tors, not of those who in very self
pi e~servatioE voted mo" We do not
blame the negroes altogether. They
followed their new masters,
aud because their old masters did not
them, we are to have "a war
IF races" forsooth.
In North Carolina and Tonnes
see the questions Tor the people were
made in advance for them by Com

Civil Rights bill-a measure Cong-

exclusively affects the Southern States
themselves. And because this ques.

The war of races will not impose
