A SUGGESTIVE CONTRAST.
The Two Governors OF Tennessee an
Alabama.

The Two Governors or Tennessee and
Alabama.
Mr.. Z. L. White, chief of the Neto York
TI-ibuIle's correspondence bureau at Wash
ington, who was sent South to found out
the tslth concerning reported outrages,
publishes a letter from Nashville in the
Tribune of the 27th. He gives a dispas-
siouate, impartial history of the Gibson
county troubles, and concludes as follows
Now, why is it that while the Democrat
ic Governor of Tennessee leaves his post
here at the capital, visits the scene where
half dozen negroes have been lynched,
calls a special session of the court, employs
detectives, secures the best lawyers in the
State to conduct the prosecution. and, in
fact, spares neither time nor expense in his
efforts 10 bring to punishment the murder
ers Of half dozen Of his political oppO
nents, the Republican Governor Of Ala
baIna has not yet raised his hand, al
though, according TO reports sent by his
friends to Washing on,mor than sixty men
have been murdered in a single coun-
ty for opinions sake? Why is il that if
Iawlessness and violence prevailed in Vest
ern Alabama to such an extent as TO defy
the To- al and State authorities, Gov. Lewis
did not raise his voice in solemn protest
last spring against the withdrawal of
United States troops? If such state of
affairs as Hays and Spencer have described
in Washing, oniexis:s, why has not the Gov
eminent called together the Legislature.
declared martial law, called out the militia,
and gone 20 the rescue of his political
friends, who, we have been told, are daily
shot down like dogs? The reason is that
Gov. Brown places the life of the citizen
above party success, and values the good
name Of his State more than a political
triumph. But Gov. Lewis is willing to see
the good name of Alabama dishoRored be-
fore the wo ID; to see capital aud inlmi
grafton turned away from her borders; to
see her people injured IN business and rep
utaticn, and even TO stand by in silence
while her citizens, his party friends, are
shOt down in cold blood, as he has in the
case of Billings and Ivty, if out ofthe dis
grace of his State, the lies, the exasgera-
tions, the murders even, he can construct a
ladder over which TO climb for. another
term, into the office lie has dishonOred.

KELLOGG,s RIOoDHoUSD.

Washington Slcciai 10 the baltimore sun.
The dispatches from Shreveport con-
tain the information that the arrests in
that town are based on the aifdavits Of
Gen. Lewis Merrill, commanding the
United States troops. This officer is a
fit person to engage IN this kind of
work. and was selected for his known
capabilities. He Is major in the
Seventh Cavalry, and was br5vetted
Brigadier-G General Of Volunteers DUR
ing the war. lie is the same officer
who was stationed in South Carolina
during the pendency of the Ku-Klux
excitement, and signalized himself by
making arrests of hundreds Of I'M
offending citizens in the dead hour of
the night, and accompanied by circum-
stances Of the most brutal atrocity.
For nis services in South Carolina the
negro Legislature Of that State, at the
instance of the carpet baggers, voted
him a gift of several thousand dollars.
Mr.. Kellogg will no doubt requite his
services in Louisiana with equal hbe-
rality.
Nearly two years ago Mr.. Bayard in
PRODUCED a resolution IN the Senate for
the investigation of this officers con-
duct IN South Carolina. The resolu-
ton still lies on the tableunactedupon,
the Radical Senators refusing to allow
a vote to be taken on it. With the
help of Maj. Merrill, with the disfran-
chisement of three or four thousand
