Iha Democratic papers. orators ana news
agents Of the South are evidently acting in
concert 20 create the impression that peace
and good " III are to follow thc Democratic
victory there. Every few days the telegraph
brings vague accounts OF an alliance be.
tween the negroes and the Conservatives
in some remote county or parish. accom-.
panied by hints OF politica. millennium
near at hand. The Democratic press and
speakers OF the South are cOunseling great
moderation. and urging the people 70 re.
stra:n their Joy and control themselves,
which il but another way Of advising them
to go slow. TO be careful and not throw
away the game by any sudden Or unguarded
movement The facc "a. there never was a
time before or since the war when the spirit
OF intolerance was more active In the South
than now. We called attention yesterday
70 some OF these evidences. and today
brings another straw. showing how the
| political wind blows. The New Or!aans
Bulletin, OF Sunday last contains two s.s.
niIic An. advertisements. a. follows:

These are no: grea. matters. but they
serve. with other outcropsings. to show the
condition and drif. OF public sent!men.
