CURRENT DISCUSSION.
SOUTHERN GRIEVANCES.


THE NEw-YORK TRIBUNE says: There rs
something impressive and at the same time ptful In
Louisiana set forth their wrongs the platform Of the
State Conservative Convention Careful and reasoning
almost every count in tho indictment OF the Kellogg
administration but the best friends OF the South Wll
regret the LOuSaUans should have eutched at the
organization Of white mans party as the only means
OF obtaining redress and reform Surely theirs must DO
found uuavaling' The strait 70 which these peo-
PIC have been reduced Is enough d 70 o 0Te & se
other Northern Journals that are not in full sympathy
with the authors OF the wrongs they suffer seem
60 be disposed to blame them for endeay0rng
failed their delverancs They have appealed
whose magn eounses have made the ignorant negroes
instruments Of ruin Thsy have ed with s e e
unayaiing for the blacks cling 70 the Yenal and
and remonstrance. and nothing will dissolve the charm
that holds them under the spell OF ths enehantnent
instincts that will band them as sody in defense OF
their rights Of person and property as the inferior race
As banded against them II Is very easy for tho people
OF the North and others at distance who know nothing
OF the situation OF aals at the South TO condemn THIS
regard the matter in a wholly different light, and would
adopt any means 70 secure delverance from ths de-
grading yoke.
CRIMES OF CARPET-BAGGERs.
From The augusta tGd) Chronicle and sentinel .
When the Southern press denounces the
thieves that In power In the SOuth Northern opinion
OF the Republican type apt 10 attribute the denunoa-
ton TO political prejudice That was the case az one
time. and is yet 10 extent but Northern papers are
longer 10 be mised as 70 the actual condition OF
affairs In south Carolina and other Southern States An
editorial article In The NEw-YoRK TRIBUNE shows an
intelngently accurate appreciation OF the situation in
South Carolina. Patterson ami Chamberlain are ras-
cats Patterson secured hs election to the United States
Senate by bribery and corr1poa aud this fact Is as
son himself Cham berlain, who Is the sooaed reform
candidate, Is equally as corraPt ana dishonest
that all insolent carpetDaggers like Patterson
should be hunted out OF the State Wo ar. no advocates
Of violence, and do not encourage people taxing the law
into their own nands But when people are goaded 70
desperation by insult and robbery they be excused
and used In putting TO death such Infamous wretches
as have obtained power in South Caralina. Patterson
has induced President Grant to send additional troops
TO South Carolina. We do not know that the presence
OF troops Will help 20 carry out tho thieves programme
We counsel f0rbesrance and Kindness toward the gno
