WHITE LEAeuERs IN MISSISSIPPI.

In an article much more blasphemous
than grammatical OF intelligent the Vicks-
burger takes the novel position, in mar
row-minded argument, that the State
would be much better off in an industrial
way, if all of the men who have labored,
and who are contributing by hard work
to make Mississippi successful as a pro-
ducing State, should be driven from the
fields. It says:
There is not village, town, city, .
farm or county in the State, that would not
be tenfOld better of, if there was not a
negro in it. We could soon supply their
places, and with our own labor and intelli-
gence regenerate this country, that GOD IN
His extremely inscrutable wisdom, has
cursed with negro rule 80 long.
The Times of Vicksburg pertinently
asks, "Where are we to find the white
hands to replace the colored laborers dis
charged?" Knowing too we'll that the idle
men who lounge about village groceries,
who smoke cigarettes at steamboat land
ings and railread stations, will not work,
out of Difference to gentlemanly lineage,
the Mississippi philosopher answers: "Get
them from Europe" as if the whole mat
ter could be settled Immediately by tele.
graphing to Bismark an order for twenty
thousand industrious Germans to take the
place of ''niggers," and vote the Demo-
cratic ticket when naturalized.
The insanity which prevails in Missis-
sippi among class who have nothing to
make or lose is the same lunacy that runs
at large here. Ringing editorials are
wri item, full of sounding emptiness, de-
mand ing that white men shall be put in
the place of colored men wherever work is
done. This sounds plausible, but where
are he white men who will do the work?
The practical employer has right to
know by name the men who will mix
mortar, carry bricks, clean cutters, pick
cotton, dig bitches, drive night carts,
roll cotton, drive drays and sweep stores
before he can discharge men faithful and
fitted for hard work.
The White League intelligence Office
has not reported that the sons of our
Oldest, and consequently best, citizens,
desire mental employment. It is true,
foreigners may be induced to come here
men who make the best of Republicans,
so soon as they think and act for them
selves; but it is hardlypossible enough of
such can be brought to the Southern
States, and particularly to Louisiana to
warrant the discharge from work of all col
ored men before the November election.
Sensible men, who have crops to make,
and business depending on labor to do,
will ask for further time and better
reasons for running themselves and the
prospects of a State vitality depending on
colored labor, than those of furnishing |
the chivalrous and seedy with an Eldordo |
of fat Office, even if colored men would
vote differently when out of work.

DOOMED DOCKRAY.

The barbarous and cruel disposition Of
the Spanish authorities in Cuba, which
manifested its hostility to the United
States and to American citizens in the
slaugh ter of the Virginius crew, on the
fimsy pretext that they we're pirates, is
again developed in the death sentence
passed upon Mr.. F. P. Dockray, an
American traveller, by a Spanish court
martial. There was nothing in the con-
duct of Mr.. Dockray that should subject
him to arrest even, although in the in
surrectionary district. But he was arrest
ed, kept for many weeks in prison, and
has now been sentenced, and will pro-
badly be murdered for no crime.
The Dockray case presents fair speci-
men of Spanish intrigue. After vainly
seeking for some specific accusation or
charge that would stand trial before q
court of no justice, he was finally ar
raigned on the broad one of mfedencia,
which embraces all sorts of deception and
discrimination, and is charged with being
an insurgent, a newspaper correspondent,
spy, and finally as secret emissary of
the United States government sent to the
island to gain information regarding the
war. He is accused Of inquiring for Mr..
Ralph Keller, and had in his pockets
letters of introduction of friendly nature
from the Governor of Florida to American
residents. This elevated him to the
pedestal of high functionary, seen with
Spanish eyes, travelling under commission
Of an important United States official.
The Spanish government still claims
that the Cuban patriots are not belliger-
ents, and that war does not exist in Cuba,
and yet an American citizen, passing from
one point of the island to another, is arrest
ed as spy, and condemned to death. Mr..
Dockray was a member of no military
and nonresident. Yet his
sentence is from military court
Favoring weakened policy this out
rage is regarded with the most unpatriotic
apathy by many of our leading journals
The New York Times informs us that the
State department has used all its legal
an diplomatic resources in Dockrays be-
half, and that his death, if it occurs, will
be the result of his own indiscretion. 1t
also insinuates that the prisoner was
to the United States when he
left.
This begs the question. The character
of Dockray, the individual, is not under
discussion. His record is not good one.
He is an American citizen, however, more
or less worthy, and as an American should
not be trampled upon by foreign powers
As an object of spite in family quarrels.
His death should not be suffered to occur
without protest decidedly made by our
government. There should have been
American blood enough in the virginius
rev to slake Spanish thirst in that direc-
ion. Clemency in the case of Dockray
AN be accepted as part atonement for the
already committed. Otherwise
his death will but add to the debt Spain
must eventually pay with interest to the
United States when forbearance has ceased |
