LIVELY TIMES.
Republicans Have No Rights which
Rebels are Bound to Respect.

A special dispatch from Washingto City to
the New York 7TtUes says: The opposition
press are continually denying the existence
of the outrages upon the ,colored people in
the Southern States, and insist that the re-
ports concerning them fabricatioHs.
There is at last positive official information
as to at least one remarkable outrage. Tho
Post-office Department have received infor-
nation that on Friday last near York Sta
ton, on the Alabama and Chattanooga Rail-
road in Alabama, q passenger train was
stopped by false signal of dsnger, and the
colored mail agent on duty was shot in cold
blood by masked assassins. Congressman
Charles Hays, of Alabama, who is now here,
confirms this story, and gives some remarka-
bic instances of outrages winch have come
within his own observation within the last
few weeks. Although Confederate Mr..
Hays has been a consistent Republican since
the close of the war. and has been a personal
witness of most of the troubled scenes IN his
State since that time. He SAYS to-day that
during the last twelve years even when ku-
kluxisrn was at its height he has never
known a time when the lives of the eelored
people were so much endangered. and ires
speech so nearly prohibited in Alabama as
to-day. His district, which is in the very
center of the Black Belt has Il, 900 colorea
majority. He has been returned several
times to Congress by majority of that mag
nitude vet he SAYS that HIS own life would be
in dan ger to-day in Sumter county, the
strongest Republican county in the district,
and that If there was to be election held
to-day, the intimidation OF the eoioreti people
by the rebel element is so great that the only
votes cast would be By white persons.
ESCAPE OF A REPUBLICAs CONGRESSMAN
Representative Charles Pelham. one of the
mountain districts in that State, who recently
arrived there from the North. was compelled
to leave, under cover of night, the county
seat of one of the counties of his own district
TO escape from . contemplated attack upon
his life, OF which he WAS secret v warned by
faithful negro. Some of the v'hits people Of
the town, it appears, had assembled immeeI-
ately after the arrival Of Mr.. Pelham, and
mutually swore that there should be one less
Radical member of Con gress there, and be-
fore morning, This intelligence was secretly
conveyed to Mr.. Pelham, who left the letei
anobserved in the early evening, and walked
with a negro euide two miles through ths
woods 20 a railroad station. The postmaster

subsequently informed him that he did net

The Truth Of the Outrases.

From the Boston Journat-Edltorial.l
A leading democratic organ bias its sheer
at the ''oGtrages made to order" in connec-
ton with the accounts now coming up from
the South OF the crimes perpetrated upon the
freedmen. 1t can hardly have reference to
the outrage IN Gibson county, Tennessee, for
no less distinguished Democrat than Jeaer-
son Davis has expressed his horror of that
transaction, although in the same speech lac
gave expression to the characteristic opinion
that the negroes would need the whites to pro-
vide for them and to protect them TO the end
Iof time Other cases, also might be cited in
which the enormities inflicted upon the ne
groes must overcome the lncredulity Of the
most obstinate Democratic prejudice and
silence oil such ungracious sneers as the
above. 1t becomes every man, without re-
gard to party. to look earnestly into the truth
! of these Southern reports, affecting, as they
do, not only the peace and safety of society
in the section where they occur, but the
reputation and welfare of the whole country.
The time may come when new measures viii
be so urgently demanded to repress these
caste atrocities that CoDgres may have to be
Iealled together IN extra session, as Is no Y
said to be advised by the Attorney General.
At present, however, it does not appear
that the eS3gency has attained TO this seFi-
business, although it would not take many
more such occurrences as We have recently
had from the South to give n different ina
preston. With regard to this last Red River
outrage it viii be observed that, even adj
hitting the accuracy OF what appears to be
1.-THE conservative version, the eaornity re-
mains the same, only the perpetrators are
Iehanged-the massaeTes being attributed to
unknown Texans, who had suffered no per
sonal provecaticR. and whose criTninality,
therefore, seems to have been more ealpabIy
the work of the White League movement
The only question is whether the murdered
men and their alleged colored associates were
guilty of any Of the attempts at intimidation
which were charged upon them. 1t Is strong
~ improbable for these reasons viz: that
they IN the midst of q coInuHity where tAey
must have known that nothing but danger
could result from sueh indiscretion; secondly.
here as in all other instances that have
tTanspired. the Republicans, black and white
are only charged with threatening the peace
of the community, while they are visibly the
victims of the most 6iabolcal outrages; and
thirdly, the testimony Of assasSins IS worth
nothing in self-de1ensa. Al dizintereste3
men. therefore, not u coincide with the lead
ing Conservative organ in Louisiana when it
declares that this atroclogs deed Is the d.

parts of the South are exactly alike in char

has the following interesting item in regard to
Old Red:
"Three and half feet fall since our last week
report, leaving still sixteen feet and ten inches
to go upon apparently, but the dull sluggish cur
rent now in the river az this point may leave
plenty of ugly sand bars for our steamers to wig
gle over long before we reach actual low water; in
other words, the channel Of the river must be
very badly choked up with sand, and We will be
sure to have low water earlier than many antici-
pate, unless heavy rain above occurs, and the
Mississippi River falls rapidly at the same time"
In the same issue of that paper. we find the fol-
lowing river item, which is Incorrect:
The Seminole is the only steamer due from be-
low, and we have been looking for her to heave in
sight every day since Wednesday. The Behan
and Durfee were also advertised for Red River.
Since then we learn that the Durfee has retired to
the other side Of the River to ley up, and the
probability is that the Behan will follow suit; the
Lotus, too, will draw off for while and wait for
better times.
The W. J. Behan left this port Friday, 26th inst.
and was followed the next day by the Durfee; and
the Seminole and Lotus No. 3 are both at our
landing receiving to leave for Jefferson and
