THE YANKEE COLONY MURDERS.

THE YANKEE COLONY MURDERS.
Later information in regard to the mur.
ders in Louisiana, in the Coushutta parish,
brings out fully the fact that the butchcry
was committed because of hatred towards
the little thriving colony of yankees es-
tablished by northern thrift and energy
because these yankees still held to the re.
publican principles which they carried
down South with them; and because il
was necessary to intimidate the living in
order that the old rebel democracy might
control future elections. Six of the mur-
dered men were whites of northern birth
and growth. the remaining seven were
blacks. The race issue disappears as the
facts in the bloody tragedy are unfolded.
1t is not the negro with whom the Ku-
Klsx and the White Leagues are at war,
but with republicans, no matter what their
complexion may be. Political power is
the object. The race issne is a pretext for
outrage upon the negroes, in order that
they may be terrified to an abandonment
Of the republican party. There has been
no doubt in the minds of well-informed
people that politics and not color were at
the bottom Of the southern outrages, that
the race issue is a sham, and now when
black and white are seen falling side by
side by the bullets of the White Leaguers
there can be nobody SO blind as not to
discern the truth.
When their New England friends think
OF the barbarous assassination of these
brave, enterprising, worthy men, who left
our northern hills to seek homes in the
South and there make fortunes for them
selves by the honesty and industry taught
them through their New England training,
their hearts will fire with indignation at
the tyranny which prevails in the South
relict of Slavery--and they will renew
their vows to the republican party and
raise their voices in favor Of strong meas
ures by the government TO put an end to
the state of things which makes such hor-
rors possible. Men of New England should
be protected anywhere on American soil
They should have the right to settle in
the South. to be secure in their persons
and property, to speak, write and vote
their sentiments as freely there as we do
In Maine. But it is not so now, neither
has It been so at any time since the war.
New Englanders who have gone South
have been made 70 feel that their personal
safety might be endangered if they did
not abandon their republican principles.
They have been treated with contempt,
and impediments cast in their way in mat
ters Of business, and finally they have

picked white men, the orders being issued
some days ago, in view of the apprehended
white league disturbances and the entire ab-
sence of United States troops from the State.
Recruiting has been quietly going on, and it
is stated that no ex-soldiers have volunteered.
This regiment will be added to Longstreet's
brigade, and will be used mainly to keep
down disturbances in and around the city.
The Outrage Designed to Intimidate RE-
publicans.
Dispatches received in New Orleans by
State Senator NJ II. Twitchell, brother of
one of the persons killed in Coushatta, state
explicitly that the only cause of the occur.

out of the State or kill all the white Republi-
can leaders in the parish of Red River, which,

voters of that parish for the coming cam.

At the Executive Department it is asserted
that the intention Of the white league of Cad

days previous to the actual occurrence, and
this was the only reason of the parish officers
organizing to resist their displacement from

of their opponents, they we're fairly elected.

VERY SUSPICIOUS-T THLMBLE RIG.
GING.

The Belfast journal makes the grave
charge against its own party that there was
unfair management concerning the DEM
ocratc convention at Ellsworth, at which
Mr.. Spofford was nominated as the demo-
cratic candidate for Congress. Mr.. Spof-
is resident of Hancock county. and the
call for the convention was so made and
arranged that it gave Hancock an unfair
advantage in the convention. Such
fraud is not very suggestive of increase Of
honesty in the democratic party. The
Journal says:
"By some mysterious influence the publica-
ton Of the call was delayed so late that only
ten days intervened betw cen the call and the
conventional time that hardly sufiiced for il
to reach remote towns, to say nothing of the
calling Of caucuses. Then the representation
was fixed upon the unheard of basis Of one
delegate for every twenty votes cast for the
democratic candidate for Congress in 1872.
This would give full convention Of seren
hundred delegates! Rockland. to have it's fair
weight in the convention, would have to send
twenty seren delegates and Belfast twenty-
three. Such thing as this was never before
known In the history of political conventions.
1t was easy for Hancock to have full repre-
sentation-it was impossible for the other
counties to have fair one.
Whether this scheme was concocted and
palmed upon the district by some having
control of the committee, and a selfish pur-
pose to serve, we will not cay. 1t has very
suspicious look. But we will say that there
s in the minds of people q sense of decency
and fairness 10 these matters that cannot be
outraged with impunity. A tbimble-rgging
game like this 10 simply disgraceful. The
IL aiding democrats Of the district, and espec-
tally Of Hancock county, should see that it is
never allowed to be repeated"

The Proposed Rebuilding of the
Court House.

The open and general disapproval OF the re-
building OF the Couit House should ndmonish
the Levy Court OF the propr:etY OF taking early
action 10 postpone the matter. Every news
paper in the county has expressed an opinion
uniavorable to proceeding with the work. The
proposed outlay is by no means small Forty
thousand dollars is a large sum to spend in re-
modelling au old building The money is not in
the county treasury, and will have 10 be borrow
ed at a.heavy Ialc OF interest, ana repaid next
year by IL increased tax
The county treasurer has not now the money
TO pay the bonds that are falling due and has adj
vertlsed 10 renew them. such a are paid will
have to be paid with borrowed money.
nder these circumstances the only true and
safe policy is 10 defer The proposed expenditure.
We are confident the people will sanction the
latter course and we fear they will condemn
with their votes any other.
Nearly every building that Is erected now costs
largely over the estimated price and there is this
risk TO be incurred What We are now told will
cost $40 00O may in the end reach double that

The Poor and Unfortunate Charged with
Ignorance and BnrbariSm.

The Delaware Republican has the etirontery, in
the face of existing facts, to charge that those
who do not enjoy the advantages of education
arc in "ienorance aud barbaIism." |. does not
recognize the facts daily transpirlng that prove
that while the head may be stored with learning
the heart may be filed with wickedness.
The Republican, however, does not attempt to
deny that the great mass Of crime that is daily
recorded in the newspapers is committed by men
who are not destitute of learning. They are cd
ucnted men and women, some of them pretend
ing 10 refinement. 1t could not deny this if it
would. Nor is 1t able TO show that Of the mas
of convicts that are now confined in prisons, the
great majority are men who are not able to read.
Finding itself unable to answer arguments, 1t
resorts to vituperation, low and abusive language
The GAZETTE is stupid because it points 10 the
crimes OF bank burglars the horrid murderers
the Credit Mobillers, the Sanborns, the Jayncs
the CollaRders, and the hundreds of Radical Of
fee holders and defaulters, who are guilty of acts
that are most disastrous in their effects. These
coundrels run at large, while all the odium Of
crime is sought to be charged to the account Of
the poor and uneducatcd, as if it were not fact
that the great mass of the poor and uneducated
are honest people.
The Republican docs not utter the truth in say
ing that the GAzETTE is opposed to the negroes
being educated. On the contrary, we urged the
legislature to pass law, in conformity with the
message of Gov. Salisbury, taxing the negroes
for means to educate them. And the legislature
would probably have done SO had they not been
embarrassed by various opinions and plans of
the particular political friends OF the negro, who
seem more iesirous Of securing his vote al elcc-
lions than anything else. Aud much Of this talk
about the equality of the negro aui the necessity
of providing him with schools t. keep him from
crime is to gel his support for the Radical ticket,
and nothing else.
