THE radical papers are replete with ac-
counts Of "outrages" upon the blacks
throughout the South, and in the whole
batch there is but one genuine case that
Of the massacre of the prisoners taken
out of Jail in Gibson county, Tennessee
The people of that State are indignant
over it, and Governor Brown joins with
his constituents in the general denuncia-
ton. A public meeting at Memphis ex-
pressed the general adherence at the
marauders.
Among those who are taking active
part in the efforts to capture and punish
the murderers are General Forrest, ex-
Governor Isham G. Harris, Judges Ellet
and Brown, and Chief-Justices Wright
and Smith. Now, in view of these facts
the attempt of the Northern Radical
press to involve the entire white race of
the South in responsibility for the trans
action is, surely uncalled for. The South
ern whites are bearing with great pa
tience the troublesome attitude of the
negroes towards them, because they know
that it is melted by Radical white ennis
saries for the purpose of influencing the
Northern elections. Ifin twelve States
and among thirteen millions of people
there should be an occasional collision
between men of the opposite races, il
should not occasion surprise. The sur
prise is that, with the Radical election
agents secretly plotting all over that sec
tion, a general civil war has not been ex-
cited. The spirit displayed in Tennes.
seeis that of the vast majority of the
ruling race in the South, Z Law and order
shall prevail and If there are offenders
against society, be they white or black,
they shall be tried by the properly con-
stituted courts, and punished by the le-
gal authorities. d"fi .hnt' "' go"

CIVIL RIGHTS.

What are thesentimentso of the Repub-
lican party in relation to the Civil Rights
bill2 In the party conventions in Maine,
Vermont and Pennsylvania the demand
for the social equality of whites and
blacks was emphatic enough. But in the
Alabama Republican Convention social
equality was expressly repudiated The
party is all ahoat on this importantques-
ton, 1t is evident, though, that while
the Alabama Radicals are afraid to face
the music, the Northern Radicals are dis
posed to make mohgrelism a cardinal
feature of their programme. The De-
mocracy will ask for nothing better than
to meet them on that issue. In the South,
as the North Carolina election has shown,
it has been fatal to Radicalism. In the
North, squarely put before the people,we
believe that it will be no more popular
Let the Radicals insert q social equality
plank in the Utica platform, and give us
a chance to test public sentiment in this
State World. ..it'''

PATTERSON AND OTHERS DE-
MED.

COLUMBIA, s. c., September 3.--At a
meeting of the Boord of Trade of Co
lumbia, held this evening, resolutions
were passed denouncing the attempt of
certain persons, and particularly of John
]. Patterson, to create a false impression
as to the relations which exist between
the white and colored people of the
State, They declare emphatically that
there are no signs of any danger of u
collision between them; that these re-
ports and attempts are disastrous to the
prosperity of the people, and that what
ever appearance of trouble may have
existed was due to and traceable to col
ored men, acting on the advice and sug-
gestion of bad white men, who for their
ends are intent upon bringing about a
rupture between the races, They brand
the statement that there is any danger
of u rupture as false, and ask the Ma
tional authorities to cause an investiga-
ton to be made into the truth of the
statements of Patterson and others made
at Washington. ..f.

who did stone Stephen he had positive
genius. He went back 10 his cOnstitu-
ents and told them in mournful numbers
that he had stood by the Administration,
and as for the stoning of Stephen, Ste
phen had not been stoned, and he had
only held the clothes of some persons
who had thrown boiled peas-not at
Stephen but at some maleiactOrs who
were passing that way.
And so these Vermont supporters of
the Administration refusing TO renOm-
mate the only member in their delega-
ton who had refused the back pay, and
been honest and upright and talked all
the time the best and sOundest Of good
sense, did renominate this supporter of
the Administration who stood by and
supported Carpenter and Conkling, and
put the back pay right into his breeches
pocket under all his brass buttons, so as
not TO annoy his friends by putting on
any airs Of superior virtue. All there
are tides even in Vermont. Even in
Vermont, people hear of things and dis
cuss them, and have opinions of their
own. And so the other day when they
had an election, they said by q very
striking and significant vote "Judge
"Poland, you are doubtless q well-mean-
"ing man, you did not suppose that the
"people whose clothes you held were
"about TO stone Stephen. but you dear
"old brass-bgttoned patriot, you ought
mot to be exposed in places where peO-
"ple obviously know more than you do
"and impose on your good nature. Stay
"at home with US, Judge, where you can
"do no mischief, and we win send some
zone in your place who knows what it
"means when he is waited on by such
"men as Carpenter and Conkling with a
"request TO stand by"
Itis barely possible that the result in
Judge Poland's district is lesson for the
supporters of the Administration in 9TH
er districts and other States. Who
knOws?"

The Italian government has Of late
been greatly alarmed at the Democratic
movement in Italy. Letters from Rome
bring the details of arrests made there
and elsewhere last month. The leaders
wanted to holda conference at Ferrara,
and, in order to make preparations for it,
some twenty-eight of their number met
at villa near Rimini. As soon as they
had got together, a body Of troops sur
rounded the place and arrested the whole
party. By the papers taken from them,
the Government learned of two hundred
Republican clubs in the various provinces
of Italy,all of which, after few days,were
suppressed, and many members were ar
rested. At the same time large number
Of the leaders OF the international Soeie-
ty were arrested at Rome, Florence, Ma
pies, and other places. OF course, the
Government attempted to justify itself by
accusing them Of plotting insurrection,
and charging them with being "Redsn
and Communists" Among those ar
rested were several of the we'll known
old-time leaders, who utterly deny Che
accusation of insurrectionary designs,and
declared that their object was to prepare
the way for the advent of the Italian Re
public Ofthese we may name safi, the
venerable champion OF liberty, who was
one of the triumvirs of the Roman Re,
public of ls4S, and Dagnino, the old con-
federate of Mazzini. It was these bold
Republicans who destroyed the petty
Italian despotisms, on the ruin of which
the present Kingdom of Italy was foun-
ded.
