Ex- Gov. Brown, Of Mississippi, a
Democrat, "whose honest heart" "
says the Jackson Clarion, "never
had pulsation which was nos for
his state" has taken a firm and ear
nest stand against the popular Dem
ocratic movement for the organiza-
tion Of white leagues. He says:
However brought about, the
negro under the forms of the Consti-
tuition as it is written has equal
political and civil rights with the
white man. The social question is
another matter, and that ! would
undertake to say, no human law ever
has or ever can regulate. But to the

black leagues. Then what? The
two races are brought face to face.
Will in such contest all the whites
stand on one side, and all the blacks
on the other? Not bit Of IL, We
have painful experience that a
large number Of whites, from mo-
tives and reasons of their own will
eide with the blacks. What has
been done once, we have reason to
suppose may be done again. II may
be well enough, taking purely self
ish view OF the subject for commun-
tiles where the whites predominate,
to get up white leagues. But what

National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1874-02-14
A SPASM OF VIRTUE.

The New York World is opposed to hav.
ing the names of William NJ. Tweed and
Thomas C. Fields removed from the list Of
the commissioners appointed to represent
New York at the Centennial celebration at
Philadelphia, upon the ground that mo
more valuable product of hundred years
of liberty and civilization could be there ex-
hibited than one public robber clothed in
the garb of the penitentiary and another
public robber condemned to exile for life. "
We think 90, too. The sudden virtue Of
the World, while it is little surprising, Is,
however, cheering sign of the times, and
another evidence that the lessons of reform
and good government taught by the Repub-
lican party of New York are not lost even
upon editors like those of the World, who
have, up to within very few months, un-
blushingly defended corruption in high
places That journal was for years the
champion of the Tammany ring and con-
tributed all it could to maintain and perpet-
uate its corrupt ascendency. 1t was the
plant tool of Tweed as long as Tweed was
in power and in position to enable it to
put its hand in the city treasury and rob it
in swindling bills for advertising which was
never done. 1t would, in all probability,
defend him now, even with the uniform and
the brand of the convict upon his shoulders,
if it were not certain that by so doing it
would outrage the healthy public sentiment
which Republican reformers have succeed
ed in creating in the Empire City. But
what must be Tweed's thoughts at reading
in the columns of his once thick and thin
defender the condemnation we have quotedi
If he were only to write that book what
weeping and crashing Of teeth We should
have in Gotham!
