and prosoriptive powor, we ray be
suro that there will be disturbances
both real and fabricated, obstruotiug
peace aud the appearance of peace.
There arc two roads only to tranquil
ty in the South the one is the es,
tablishment of strong milit,ry gov
| eminent in each of the Southern
States :; the other is hands off with
the Federal power aid hands off with
sectional supervision, tho people Of
tho South Icing left to their own
devices in all things. The half aud
half policy Is ruin. 1t infamos the
white people without in any sense
protecting the blacks.
Wherever there is d natural, rc-
sponsible State Government, there is
law and order wherever there is not,
there is disturbance. Arkansas is
model of quiet since tho withdrawal
of the Federal usurpation. 1t IL
Mississippi, it is Louisiana, it is South
Curolinu, the three remaining Radical
States, which furnish tho country its
evidences Of disquict.
The republican party is free to
muko what it cuD out Of tho Cliutou
fraoas. Such riots flow from
the Republicans policy. The G rod
p, ople of the South are iu no wise re-
spousible for them, and in States like
ississippi are powerlcss to avert or
correct them. The degree Of blood.

Ames has been taking his pleasure in

any one wonder that an FIX cutive

the public deriaion, contempt, hatred
and disgust ? Can any one wonncr
that Ames trcmbles in his seat 7 He

We say this in no unkind personal
or. partisan spirit. We sincerely
believe it to be descriptive. Gov
ernor Ames may be an amiable man
or u cultivated man. The gambler
often has his virtues. The advea.
turer is not always a villain. but
the gambler and the adventnrer tread
in slippery ways aud take all the
risks Of their calling. Governor
Amcs is certainly an adventurer, Il
political adventuror. He went to
Mississippi a soldier. Ho had no
right except ut his own cost, to turn
himself into politician. Had he
