pressed by our police authorities, and the

support the police. We have right, as cit
liens of the United States, to demand that
the loyal defenders of the Union at the South
be protected as we'll as the ex-rebcls who

= If treason had been made odious by
the punishment of prominent rebels at the
close of the late war, and by longer dis
reimbursement of their followers, together
with the full recognition of the civil, political,
and manhood rights of the black loyaiists OF
the South, instead of the policy of pardonins
as erring brothers set of men who instlgated
the starving of Union prisoners, and the
spreading of disease by importing injected
| clothing into Northern hospitals, the treas
enable outrages of last week in New Orleans
would not have been probable. The South
should have been taught that in attempting
the destruction of the rights of others that
they brought destruction only upon them
selves. We hope that Il salutary lesson VIII
be taught the rebels of New Orleans who,
on the 18th instant, murdered the loyal citl-
zens of the United States in that city, in
obedience to their hatred OF the party that
defended the Union against treason. Our
Governments, State and National, must pun
ish treason. If our Government is not strong
enough to punish those who attempt its life,
then is it weak indeed. Unless punishment
follows treason, we may have rebellion
every year. We, have tried the forgivine
policy and it has been met with ungratefu
assassnations of Union men, women, ant
children. Now let the nation punish traitors
and protect with all the power it can bring
to bear, the loyal and peaceablc citizens o
the United States in all parts of the Union.

President Grant.

This great man-great in Lis clear concep-
ton of duty and the noiseless iirmness with
which he proceeds to discharge it, has again
been tried as by fire and found true as steel,
and as pure as gold. Few acts OF his adj
ministration better illustrate the wisdom and
n,tr;otism of this man than his treatment of
the Louisiana question. In our anguish and
bitterness at first note of the horrors OF Cou-
shatta. we for the first time, uttered cry OF
impa,cnce, a scream of reproach at what
seemed the apathy and indifference OF the
President and his Cabinet; but the action OF
General Grant in restoring law and order to
that anarchy-cursed State has rebuked our
impatience and led us to congratulate our
country, and especially our people, upon
having such a man in the Presidential chair.
With man of less character and firmness
than Grant in the chair, turbulence and
b,oodshcd beginning in louisiana might have
rolled over the whole South. 1t is grand
thing To have a captain who means what he
saws. aud speaks to be obeyed. Verify, There
is no pal:ering here. Lay down your arms
and 90 home, and put the Government
back in the place you found it. and from
which your revolutionary and unlawful con-
duct disloJged it. Honor and gratitude 10

"a War Of Races"

This is the cunning lie under which the new
rebellion against the Government of the Uni
tel States has set up its bloody business at
the South. There is no such war there now,
there never has been such war, there never
will be such a war, there never can be such a
thing as war between the white and colored
people of the Southern State. The frightlul
outrages and midnight murders, and the muir
ders at MONDAY now going on there, has no
more relation to race than has gray to j'ue.
Color only indicates hostile interests. 1t is
the mere uniform, not the soldiers nor the
inspiration Of The soldiers. II is amischev-
Gus msnomcr employed with a purpose to
deceive the North and to stir up prejudice.
There Is no more propriety in calling it war
of races than in applying the same designa-
ton to war now going on in Spain for mon
archy on the one hand and republicanism on
the other, or between the Cuban patriots and
their blood thirsty oppressors. The conflict
in the South would be precisely the same if
the people were of the same race and color.
1t is first and last and all the time, simply
struggle on the one part TO regain lost and
coveted power Of dominion, and on the other
part 1t is an effort to retain and exercise the
newly acquired franchise constitutionally
guaranteed to them. 1t is the "lost cause"
again in arms-and must be met by every
loyal man and woman in the country, in the
same brave, generous, and determined spirit.
as when Sumpter was fredupon, and Lincoln
fell by the hands Of the assassin. Now, as
then, the object is government at the Sontl
Of which slavery is to be the cornerstone.
The colorcd people of the South neither
seek their own destruction nor the destruc-
ton of others. They are not such fools as
to rush upon their own rum by becoming az
gressors. Were they the bowling wolves
and tigers they are now described to be, the
wretched South would have found it out to its
sorrow during the late rebellion. The rebels
left with these very wolves and tigers-these
black demons of revenge, rapinc and mur
der-their aged and inlirn men, and the care
of their wives and children, and the history
of those four long years Of war records no
act of cruelty and CRIME against these black
people. We therefore scout the idea of Il
war of races, and call upon all others to do
the same. Till this impudent fraud is brushed
away from the Northern mind, the Northern
arm will be misdirected and weakened.

'Frederick Douglass advice to the ne
groes to go to those States where they are in
majority, is not sound, for justin proportion
to the numbers of the black population do
these outrages increase. Our TRUE
policy is to make iaborers scarce, and then

We take the above from a letter in the
Boston Commonwealth, written by Charles
Stearns, of Boston. 1t has reference to an
editorial in the New NATIONAL ERA, which
is enormously attributed to Frederick Doug
lass. We have no acquaintance with Mr..
Stearns, and know but little of him. We
Judge by his writings. In the letter of his,
from which We quote, Mr.. Stearns attempts
to show that the negrois not little to blame
for the outrages in the South. He gives us
nothing of his own knowledge Of outrages
committed by negroes. lie tells us that the
Southern white people tell of rrongs COM

themselves, Mr.. Stcarns evinces an indiffer-
ence to the real welfare Of the negro not diff
fering from that of the ex-slave-holdcrs them
selves. Mr.. Stearns evidently desires the ne
gro as laborer for others simply. We desire
that he be landowner and labor for him
self, consequently we advise him to so where
he can get good land at the least cost. Mr..
Stearns' plan of scattering the colored people
so as to make laborers scarce does not
make the negro less dependent upon the
owners of the soil. We are striving for in
dependence. We desire that our people be
a land-owning, as well rs a land-tiling race.
Let the negro, by his own efforts on his own
land become independent of the planters,
who fix his wages, and he need have no fear
of outrages, nor will he need the care of men
who grow rich by protesting to look after the
| interests of the negro.

General Butler.

We were pleased to get glimpse of this
veteran General and statesman on the ave-
nue. during his brief stay in the National
Capital, and to find him looking hale, vigor-
Gus, and cheerful. His certain return to
Congress from his old seaiaring district is a
source of grief to all that part of the press
opposed to the radical wing of the Republic
can party. Such papers as the New York
Tribune have opened upon him as usual all
the filthy foodgates Of vituperation. In our
whole acquaintance we know Of no man in
public life better able to take care Of himself
when thus assaulted than General Butler.
And we know Of no man whom we would
less willingly spare from the councils of the
nation. The brave fishermen Of Gloucester
will see to it that the ablest Representative
that they ever had will be triumphantly re-
turned to his Congressional position. Of all
the ISLANDERS hcaped upon him it is a singular
fact that not one has been shown to have
the slightest foundation in truth.

r, the EiHor # Hr Mao Nrtional Era:
DEAR SIR: Please allow me a short space
in your estimabe paper. | am a Protestant,
and did not believe in the Roman Catholic
doctrine Of purgatory until | came to Ten
nessce, and then, to my horror and dismay,
| found that there was such place, and
that Tennessee was that place, and emphat-
ically so to the colored man. Surely the Ro-
man Catholics are right, only they did not
give ''Vurgatory" Il location definite enough.
suppose every cOlOred man who has lived
in Tennessee will hereafter be entitled to q
seat IN paradise" by virtue of his having
passed through ''purgatory, if the Roman
Catholics are right.
am trying 10 induce every colored man
to leave Tennessee, and especially the
boosted Memphis, that famous, or rather
infamous, yellow fever hole ; and let her be-
come, rs her namesake Of old, not the Mound
City, but the City of Mounds, where the bats
and the owls only will find refuge, and
which will surely be the case VIXEN the COL
ored mans industry is taken away to some
ether and more cOngenal quarter, aud that
too al no distant day.
Arkansas is near by, only across the river,
and the new constitution will be one of the
strongest inducements for the colored people
OF Tennessee to go there, and then let Mem
phis become, like Carthage of old, the abom-
ination of desolatOn, and her rival, 'Little
Rock" will flourish as ancient Rome did
when her rival was destroyed.
Yours, respectfully,

lesser lights spoke. 1t is universally agreed
that, of all Walkers weak efforts, his speech
at this meeting was the weakest. The only
way he managed to get any applause was by
abusing the negro, the great sine gua non Of
the Democrats everywhere
Although Walker engineered the State into
the hands of the. Conservatives while Gov
district are bitterly opposed to him. They
say that digesiing him while Governor of the
State was bad enough but, to make him the
Representative Of the Metropolitan District
of this State in Congress, is too much for them
to stand. However, these little petty differ.
ences may all be healed up before the day of
election; and if the Republicans do not be-
come more united than at present, Walker
will certainly carry the district.
Colonel Burgess, who has been untiring in
his efforts, will perhaps get the nomination.
He has lived in the State, 4 understand, for
thirty years-owns thirty or forty thousand
dollars worth Of property; while Walker came
here sutler in the army, and is worth
scarcely anything. Yet Burgess is called
the carpet-bagger, and Walker a citizen thor
oughly identified with the material interest
Of the State.
You can see from this what Democratic
consistency is. They abused carpet-baggers,
and yet have made one Governor, and desire
to make him Congressman. | am sorry to
say that the colored voters of Richmond are
much opposed to Burgess. Some bitterly
opposed to Smith, but nearly all speak we'll
of Chandler.
have heard fifty say that they don't i'll
tend to vote at all. These are the ones who
have failed To get office. 1t will, therefore,
require the greatest efforts on the part of the
Republican leaders to unite the people.
John Amber Smith has determined to run at
all hazards, aud he has quite strong band
Of men, white aud colOred at his back.
The civil rights bill is denounced by seye-
raj influential colored men here, and all the
argument in the world will not convince them
Of its Constitutionality or beneficial effects
upon the colored race. Thus, while some
abuse Burgess for not putting them in office,
and some abuse Smith for not voting for the
civil rights bill, others praise Burgess for
having some colored clerks, and praise Smith
for voting against the bill.
Ifyou pass up the principal streets of the
city you can see nothing scarcely but small
groups of ward politicians praising and con-
demning the different Congressional aspi-
rants. Clubs have been organized that from
all accounts sell their votes to the highest
bidder. A great many 90 for money rather
than principle.
This perhaps is an awful picture to draw
Of the political affairs here; but it is true
one. We can but hope, though, that, by
November, these petty differences, brawls,
and disputes will cease to exist, and that the
Republicans, white and black, recognizing
their true position, will unite to a man upon
the nominee Of the party, and poll their full
| vote. W. &. ROANE,

RICHMOND, VA, Sept. Is. 1877

RICHMOND, VA, Sept. 10, 1874.
To Tie Editor ofMe Ne,o National Era:
The political contest in this district is wax.
ing hotter and hotter every day. The Re-
publican Congressional Committee of this
district ordered that the convention to nomi-
nate candidate to Congress should meet on
the seventh Of October. This was done, it
is said, to give Smith chance in the con-
vention. Smith has been to Europe to
encourage emigration to this State, and while
away the Burgess men made an active can
vass of the district, and have thus far secured
sixteen out of the thirty-two delegates.
Now, in order to give Smith a chance, the
Congressional Committee, who are all said
to be Smith men, ordered the postponemen
of the convention. Delegates from the vari
Gus counties met recently in the CITY and
resolved to hold the convention on the 10th
of the present month. This action of tn e
committee is said TO meet the approval of
Burgess, Chandler, and Walker, all aspirants
for the Republican nomination. Thursday
night the Conservatives held grand "po W.
VOW" at the Theatre. Walker and some

organizations, is now seen 10 have been un-
wise, and unjust to the loyal and devoted
Union men of the South.
Resolred, That to tie failure Of the late
Congress to enact law making all classes
of citizens equal before the law may be attri-
buted largely the encouragement for outrages
against the negro in the South.
RESOLVED, That the rebellion of Monday,
September IA, 1874, in the city of New Or
leans, was treason against the United States,
and that the killing aud wounding of those
who stood up in defence of the government
is crime for which the severest punishment
is deserved.
Resolced, That we may expect no peace
while treason goes unpublished and loyalty IS
compelled to seek refuge from the vengeance
of rampant rebellion.
Resotred, That in the continuance in power
of the Republican party is the nations
safety

the law had freed Smith or an er parte clique
of Austin, who are likely to do such things.
And by not getting any satisfaction when
they asked for it, the colored people thought
that it was a sure case, as anticipated.
1 have already detained you too long upon
this matter, and must bring my letter to a
close. But one thing more l wish to say,
and then am done. We will rid ourselves
of the ex- rebel Republican scoundrels in our
county next year, if possible.
Yours for peace and liberty,
