Gov. AMEs' request for aid from the
General Government in quelling the disor-
ders which prevail in the State of Missis-
sippi is not unexpected. 1t will undoubt-
edly be granted, and the action Of the
Administration in so doing will receive the
hearty approval of all those who desire to
see peace restored in that section. The
people of the North are beginning to
understand that these Southern outrages"
are not the myths the Southern Democracy
would have us believe them to be, but are
solid, substantial facts, requiring serious
consideration and grave treatment. The
opinions of the press regarding the Clinton
riot, which we print on our first page this
morning, sufficiently prove this, and at the
same time will serve to encourage the per-
secuted Republicans of that vicinity with
the knowledge that they have not alto
gether been forgotten by their Northern
fellow citizens.

the sitting shrouds of hated race domina-
ton. he has pictured the political horizon
as blackened with lowering clouds, through
which no ray Of hope can penetrate. he
has goaded his fellow.partisans to the very
verge of despair with gloomy predictions
of the future, and has told them 80 often
that the right Of suffrage in the hands Of
the blacks is dangerous privilege" that
they have at last risen in rebellion against
the tyranny he eloquently describes, and
bidding defiance to law or the dictates Of
humanity, they have murdered, not one
alone, nor ten, nor twenty of their fellow
citizens, but hundreds Of them. The seed
Of the wind has brought forth the tempest.
The record shows rapidly-changing and
bloody panorama of submission, sullen dis
content reviving ambition, race prejudice
excitements and frenzied political deter
minstion, the whole eliminating in the
slaughter Of innocent and unofending citi-
zens, with this man, L. @. G. Lamar, DEM
ocratic member of Congress, and his as
sociates, whether designedly or not as the
master spirits.
We know that this is serious charge to
lay at the feet Of any man or set of men;
but we do it adyisedly and emphatically.
If any acknowledged Democratic leader
like Herschel V. johnson, of Georgia,
Judge upon the bench, or Lamar, Of Mis-
sissippi, a candidate foP reelection 70 Con-
gress, had ever raised his voice to demand
the punishment Of the perpetrators Of these
outrages, this charge would not last for a
moment; but not q single one Of them has
ever done anything Of the kind. Instead
of doing 50, they have stood quiet while
the courts of the General Government have
been engaged in futile attempts to punish
them, and have then rushed forth to de-
nounce the tyranny OF that Government for
its interference with the rights of citizens
Of their States-shis, too, knowing that the
State governments were either powerlsss or
determined not to punish the hideous Grim.
inals whose crimes they ostentatiously as
sumo to deprecate. In short, they have not
only melted the people TO the commission
Of these murders, but have condoned their
crimes by failing to exercise the influence
of their high positions to secure their pun
ishment. The few u-Klux who have been
punished by imprisonment in the peniten-
tiaries of the General Government have
now all been released through the exercise
of President Grants clemency, influenced
by the appeals Of these Southern leaders,
or by promises of better behavior in the
future. But.where can be found an exam
pie of the execution of justice in the South
which will serve as warning of the danger
of the commission of such crimes in the
futureS When and where has white
Democrat, engaged in one of these horrible
political riots, been punished for murder, or
for Iiot, or even for disorderly conduct
Their inability to answer these questions
will serve to convict these leaders of the
charge we have made, and we repeat that
they are not only guilty of melting the
blackest of crimes, but of condoning them
after they have been committed. Are they
not, then, the real criminalsf

THE President has acted with great pre-
caution thus far in the matter of the Missis-
sippi troubles, and will no doubt continue
to do so. The decision of Attorney Gen
eral Pierrepont that the Executive procla-
nation of last December, commanding all
disorderly and turbulent persons in Warren
county to disperse within five days from its
date, is not yet in force, will clear the case
of any semblance Of connection with pre-
vious troubles, and will remove all liability
on the part of the Government to be CEN
sured for an assumption of authority.
Gov. Ames has thereby been enabled to act
independently Of any consideration grow
ing out of the past and the Government
will respond without delay.
National Republican., 1875-09-09

IT SEEMS from Gov. Ames' dispatch to
the President, printed elsewhere, that even
the copious accounts Of THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN from the Mississippi disturb
ances have not given a complete idea Of
their extent. Yazoo county, as well ss
Kinds and Warren, have been subjected to
the rule of mob law. No better evidence
than this could be required to prove the
widespread and simultaneous design of the
White Leaguers to put down" the blacks
and stamp out" Radicalism, and to do it
by criminal means.

THE New York Herald calls attention to
the fact that the murdererS of innocent COL
ored citizens go unpunished in Mississippi
and appeals to the better classes of that
State to see to it that they are apprehended
and tried for their crimes. 1t holds the
example of the better classes of Georgia up
to them as worthy of imitation. Evidently
the Herald has not read its own accounts
of the recent scare" in the latter State.
From those accounts it would have learned
that unoffending negroes were killed, and
that no attempt to punish their murderers
has been made. From this-its own
standpoint we fail to discover any differ
ence between the two cases except that the
enormity and extent Of the murderous
depredations in Mississippi have exceeded
those in Georgia.

imagine that if they could get rid Of those

WHILE some of the Democrats are i'm
pudent enough to claim that their party will
carry Ohio on the 18th of next month, no
one pretends that there is chance oi
Democratic success in Iowa, which State
holds an election for Governor, State Off
GERS and Legislature the same day. In fact,
the Iowa Democratic papers are so ashamed
of their platform that none of them have
printed it more than once since its adoption.
From all accounts, however, the Republl

The Hon. William H. Holden, Governor of
North Carolina, was impeached and driven
from his Office of Governor. He is therefore
deprived Of his civil and political rights in
that State. But the strangeness of the trans
action is that the whole " Conservative ele-
ment" in that State is opposed to his re-
instatement as q citizen. This very peculiar
Conservative element" heaven save us, is
largely made up Of rebels, who made spplica-
ton to and were pardoned by sst Of Congress,
and reinstated in all their civil and political
rights. Holden's crime was in upholding the
flag and supremacy of his country; jefferson
Davis crime in destroying his country. Yet
these Conservative" madmen, say Holden
ought not to have his disability removed in
North Carolina, but JEFF. Davis ought to have
his removed by the General Government. "Con-
sistency, thou art Jewell"

have precisely the same effect upon prices

Isaac w. WEBSTER died in Somers about nool
on Saturday August 18th, 1875, at the age OF 5
years, s months and 10 days.
In company with F. Robinson of this city, Mr.
Webster started about O'Clock Saturday morn
ing for the residence Of Jonas W. Rhodes IL
Somers, who had previously invited them to Vlsl
him for the purpose OF shooting ducks at pond
near his residence They arrived at Mr.. Rhodes
about II o'clock, and there they took a drink Of
water and Mr.. Webster wet his head with water.
Mr.. Rhodes gave Instructions to delay dinner for
half an hour and then the three started for the
pond. But as the three could not ride in one
buggy it was arranged for Mr.. Webster to ride
Robinson and Rhodes to go across lots cutting
off an angle. Arriving near the pond, Robinson
and Rhodes waited for Mr.. Webster to drive from
the road to where they were. Arriving, be got
out OF the buggy and tied the horse, and they all
a ranged for their approach to the pend and
shot at the ducks. Mr.. Webster occupied the
center, and the others bore one to the right and
the other to the left. Robinson, finding suitable
place, shot, and then started to where he expect
ed to find Webster. Soon he saw something on
the ground which seemed to be Webster and
to him he found him lying on his face
a little to the left with his gun under his right
side and dead. From the time Mr.. Robinson left
Mr.. Webster till his return to him he says could
scarcely have been six minutes. lie also says
that Mr.. Webster seemed uncommonly well up
to the time OF their separation.
