GOOD POINT.-The Nashville
Banner says in discussing the mis-
rule in South Carolina, Mississippi
and Louisiana, Radical papers,
no longer able to deny the fact of
misrule in these States, say that
the people have only themselves
to blame for their sufferings, for
had they taken hold in the right
way when the war closed, they
might have saved themselves all
their troubles. Now, let us see if
the point is well taken. Admit
that the white people in these
States were guilty of the sin of
omission, are they therefore, to
blame for the state of things that
followed! We help a robber into
our neighbours house, and aid him
all can to rob and steal. Then
when our neighbor complains OF
our conduct, we retrort that he
has only himself to blame, for if
he had securely fastened his doors
and windows as he might and
ought to have done, the thief would
not have injured him.
