is SIMPLY REPETITION OF what, under
the same management has occiirrcd a
dozen times before. The Georgia
and Mississippi emeutcs are only
BLEEDING Kansas" and the New Or

Thei- end is The same-thc success

that ofname.
There is perhaps another molifica-
tion Of them which, while not alter
ing their essential character, is wor-
thy of notice. Formerly the outrage
business presented but little difficult
ty. 1t was only necessary for any
northern journal to call every crime
in the south a southern outrage
against the negro; and, in carrying
out this programme, there was no
objection to resorting to invention
where there was q lack Of facts.
Under this plan, it was not uncom-
mon to read column after column Of
blood-curdling horrors, relating to
the oppression of southern negroes,
Of which every line. was a lie, coined
in the newspaper Office from which it
was issued. The decrease Of Sec
stional hatred in the north, the dispo-
sition to forget'the past, and to fra
Hternize with the south, has rendered
the people incredulous as to this
class of inventions. Hence, some
change was necessary This change
consisted in melting outbreaks
among the negroes, and then falsify-
ing their origin, and exaggerating
the means for their suppression.
There is no doubt whatever that the
negro outbreak in connection with
Sheriff Crosby of Vicksburg, some
months ago, wasde deliberately planned,
melted, and brought abouteby the re-
publican governor Of Mississippi for
the sole purpose Of furthering his
political ends.
The country is again on the eve OF
a presidential election, and already
the quadrennial tide of disturbance
has begun to rise. Its meaning is
the same rs ever. There is to be an
effort to fire the northern heart
The rotten and dishonest party in
power has not a single hope Of sue
cess unless it can revive the wal
feeling, and run candidate upon see
tional issues. The late outbreaks
have every appearance of being a
part of this effort. The massacre
in Georgia has familiar look. II
was undoubtedly hoped and expected
that the whites, in view of the rising
}of the blacks, might, in tue heat Of
passion, commit excuses which
would excite the hatred of the north
There is no proof oft, but there is
scarcely a doubt that the Georgia
rising was of+republican origin, was
betrayed by the republican managers
in tue hope that the whites might,
in their frenzy, resort to extreme
measures. Fortunately they did not
and hence, this atrocions conspiracy
lin the interests Of republicanism was
without result. The Clinton out
break probably belongs to the same
class Of Influences. tt was designed
to fire the blazing zeal of those il
the north who have so often rcspon

Itators.
To defeat the regular conspiracy
now in process Of being developed
the southern people need only re
Fmain cool, and refuse to allow them
|selves to resort to extremes unde
any proyocation. Let them be law
|abiding in all cases, and the resul
will be that the present conspirac,
will be the last Chicago Times.
