THE RECEYT RIOT in alISsISSIPPi
The telegraph brings us startling
intelligence from Mississippi, From
all accounts ii appears that race
conflict was prccipitatcd by the ne
groes at II political barbecue. That
the latter were tho aggrossors is
sufficiently proved by tho facts as
reported BY tho Geographic dis
patches. In the first place, there
were twelve hundred negroes on the
ground and only about fifty whites,
These latter would scarcely have
sought tho difficulty under circum-
stances which placed them at such
II numerical disadvantage, In the
second place the young man who
had tho alteration with tho negro
marshal, that led TO the firing, sur
rendered to the latter and was bru-
tally murdered by tho enturiatod
mob of blacks. These two facts are
sufficient to show that tho conflict
was unprecedented, ut least on tho
part OF the whites.
Tho question would then natu-
rally arise, who were the instigators
OF this bloody scene? Whom we re.
fleet that occurrences of tins nature
are almost unknown in the South,
except on tho owe Of elections; that
tho negroes and whites are, us n
general rule, on terms OF the great
est friendship; that the negro retains
the greatest affection for his old
owner, who was in many instances
his old associate; that an election is
shortly to be held in Mississippi;
that Governor Ames, worthy SON
in-law Of Ben i. Butler, re.
Gently said that tow dead negroes
would help tho party, even as the
blood Of the martyrs helped the
church, when all these facts arc
considered, unprejudiced minds can
not fail to place the solemn rospon
sibility for these bloody crimes on
tho head of Adelbcrt Ames and his
co-criminalss Of the Republican
party ofMlssissippi.
In the long catalogue of Radica
rule and Radical crime in tho South
, since the war, whore can ono 70
deeming trait DO found which coplC
, warrant us in shifting the burden
of guilt from tho shoulders OF the
: leaders Of that party? The reeor(
