The New York Herald expresses it
thusly: Faith in Southern outrages
is the test of Republicanism in these
DAYS. If one does not believe that all
the white men are shooting all the
darkies, the Republicans of the pure
blood say he is a Democrat. This
LARGELY increases the plumber of Dem-
ocrats."

We publish II communication this morn
inc from one of our most reliable citizens,
a temperance man on all occasions and in
every place, who supports the law and its
enforcement. but has love of right, jus
tice and humanity, and cannot endorse
brutal execution of it on the part of public
officers. We presume howl will be set
up that he is Il ''rummy" and other coarse
and uniustifiable epithets which are so
frequently banded on our streets because
he has sought thus publicly to give express
sion to his sentiments upon this subject.
Those who would thus brand him will
count without their host, as he is an active
temperance worker, gives utterance to his
adherence of rumsclling in all its forms,
when occasion offers, yet he bclievcsin the
reign of reason and justice. THE GLOBE
desires to give all an opportunity Tor free
and frank expression on every subject, yet
we dissent from his charge that the mer-
cenary spirit prevades our olliccrs,and that
they are not seeking simply the "paltry
dollar" but aim to do right in the main,
while they sometimes DO not use proper
reason or good judgment in the perform
ancc of their duties 1t is to be hoped they
may be more considerable, in the future, of
their unfortunate fellow men who have
rights as we'll as themselves.

CONTRADICTION on CURRENT
TOPICS
The Case of the Negro, weeks


Editoy RUtiaad GloJe:-A the columns
of THE GLOBE are always open to the cause
of justice and right, cannot refrain from
expressing my sentiments at this time as
regards the brutal assault recently made
by an officer upon the colored man Weeks,
which has caused SO much sensation of
late. Not having interested myself in the
matter, nor am acquainted with any of
the parties, | have read with no little in
terest the testimony as it appeared in THE
GLOBE, of Saturday, and have come to the
conclusion that 1t was a most brutal and
cowardy assault on the part Of our officers.
Officer Perkins testified that the wife of
Weeks said she would take her husband to
| jail, and Perkins was green enough to
believe it; but instead of gong to Jail she,
like every other good wife, was anxious TO
get him home from public gaze and to put
him in a place of safety, where he would
not harm any one. She did So, then these
men that call themselves officers of the
law, all for the sake of paltry dollar, made
a raid upon the domcile of the said
Weeks and claimed his body, fully
determined if they could not gain
possession of it peacefully to take it by
brutal force, as the testimony in the case
plainly shows that brutal force was freely
used. Now | would like to enquire what
right has an officer TO enter private house
break open doors and knock everybody
down therein in order to get possession of {
man who has gone home in state of in
toXication and gone TO bed.
Officer Perkins testified; He had TO occupy
both ditch and sidewalk to propel on. Dc
officers arrest every man they.see walking
little crooked, and do they 90 into every
house where they know some one has gon,

have the greatest respect for law ant

a man simply because he is drunk am
making no disturbance whatever. Does
better mans condition to Shut him up il
iail and take the last cent from him in OF

his family of so much money, whereas
the man who is found intoxicated an
making no disturbance could be taken t

until he became sober, would there not b
