been bOO pontlcal murders committed
in Texas since the Inauguration of Gov
Coke. The Governors of several of the
Southern States have addressed letters
to the President within the last few
DAYS upon the subject of these outrages.
1t is not impossible that, as precau-
tionary measure against outbreaks, some
of the troops which for sanitary pur-
poses are now encamped at Camp Olive
and elsewhere, may be sent to their reg
ular posts in the South earlier than the
usual time, which is in November.
THE SAME OLD REBELLIoUs SPIRIT.
Helena (Ark.) Cor Chicago Inter-Ocean.l
Let me tell your readers that the
spirit of the old time never was more
firmly upon these people than now.
Can you forget that, but few short
years ago, it was as much as his life was
worth for man of "Northern senti-
ments to express his views on South
ern soil? To-day the South is reused
to white heat because a Northern news
paper should so far notice the killing
of a negro by mob as TO chronicle the
event, especially if the facts show that
the victim had violated the rights OF
white man.
Two obstacles stand in the way of
practical Southern Confederacy to-day
the strong hand of Republican adj
ministration of the Government and the
Republican press of the country.
Change the first, and remand the
South to the tender mercies of the old
slave trader, and silence the second by
making this country too hot to hold the
hell-hounds" who narrate their mis-.
deeds, and you have accomplished the
objects of the rebellion.
LAwLESSNEss IN TENNESSEE.
Nashville Cor. Cincinnati Commercial
In no section of the civilized world,
of equal population, is murder so fire.
quent as in Tennessee. In China and
Japan, where we are wont to send mis-
sionaries, the laws are enforced better
than in Tennessee, and murder is far
less frequent. 1t is doubtful if Mexico
itself, supposed to be the most lawless
of all countries, can compare with Ten
nessee in the number of murders COM
mitted during the past eight months.
IN the past eight months, IN the cOura-
ties of Rutherford, Sumner, and Glib
son, there haze been thirty-nine na1Nr-
ders. What record is this for eight
months in three counties, the aggregate
population of which, all combined, is
less than one!seventh that of Hamilton
county, Ohio. If murder should be
proportionately as frequent with You,
you would have have had in your
county, since January, two hundred
and seventy-five murders
FIRING ALL ALONG THE LINE.

new Southern rebellion is reported
from New Orleans, namely, the recep-
ton of a dispatch from Shreveport to a
prominent Democratic politician of that
city, which, by mistake, fell into other
hands, and so reaches the public. 1t is
as follows:
SHREVEPORT, La, Sept. g.
Fire more Radicals killed, and firing stu
going on along The lcltOLe line
The Chicago Inter- ocean thus COM
ments upon the above dispatch:
Give more Radicals killed" reads
like the report of General sent out on
on expedition for to punish savages
guilty of an unprovoked massacre of in
nocent citizens. Firing still going on
along the whole line J" is descriptive of a
battle in the language of war. 1t tells
the whole story, in sentence, of peo-
pie consumed by malice wreaking ven
geance on political opponents. The
Southern whites thirst for the blood of
negroes and of whites who dare to rec
ognize the Constitution and stand by
the laws of the United States. To
effectuate this reasonable, murderous
purpose such whites have organized
themselves into semi military party,
sworn to obey their leaders, and armed
to commit wholesale ASSASSIN alton. The
peril to life in the South to-day is
greater than in Mexico, or in Spain and
its dependency, Cuba. There is anarchy
in dozen States, and 40 day passes
that does not add bloody page to the
raoord of its atrocities
