THE aIRHousE BURNERS.

1t was misfortune that the Southern
leaders Of the cotton States, instead Of
providing some work for the discharged
soldiers to do, set sedulously about pro-
viding themselves with offices. The mass
of these soldiers went to some occupation,
but there has been percentage that took
service under the politicians, and have
been employed as Ku-Klux, and have lat.
terly employed themselves as jayhawkers,
Selling property on pretense of political
ofenses, as in regard to some personal
effects of those assassinated at Coushatta,
and capturing and carrying away the
contents of stores and ginhouses accord

THE REPUBLICANS OF ALABAMA.

Postmaster General Jewell has written
to some of the party managers in Ala
bama, in answer to applications for office,
that it is necessary to have good men for
responsible places, and that preference
will be given to good Democrats over
bad Republicans. This is, no doubt,
shocking to orthodox Office seekers, who
stock primaries and WELD the lash, but it
is sound in principle, and need not en-
danger the welfare of either party or
competent counselors. 1t is right, in
view Of the general onslaught of Democ-
racy upon the Republicans of the South,
that the federal government should be
careful in the distribution of its patro-
mage, and the selection Of 1T men is OF
prime Importance. This is 30 obvious
that no argument is required to sustain
it. We do not know the men to whom
the Postmaster General referred; he may

DID NOT "NATIONALIZEu MUCH,

When Hon. E. Booth consented to
waive his objections to flush money, and
called upon William Allen to 'rise up" it
was on the implied condition, as we I'M
derstood, that Mr.. Allen should give TO
the wrongs Of murdered Louisiana prom
inent place on the platform, and an
ostentatious reverberation in the oratory
of the canvass. If there was any covert
correspondence upon this subject between
the distinguished parties, there must have
been fragrant breach of the conditional
support of our most prominent Demo-
cratic leader. No Democrat could be ex-
pected to subordinate and support the
principles of Jackson unless the salvation
of his country rendered it duty. No
ally could be justified in accepting such
sacrifice and suppression unless he
should act in good faith and in the saliva
ton of his friend. Perhaps it may never ap-
pear until some autobiography or memoir
of his own times may furnish medium
for the exposure, upon what terms Mr..
William Allen accepted the quasi nomina-
ton and oratorical support of Hon. E.
Booth. At present, and in default of
such documentary evidence, we are con-
strained TO say that the woes of murdered
Louisiana were not put in issue at all
during the Ohio canvass, or by the election
result. If they were offered in issue, then
were they disrespectfully thrust aside and
disregarded, and the Republicans of Lou
isiana are entitled to the inference raised
by such refusal to entertain the issues.
MIR. John G. Thompson, for the Demo-
cratic executive committee, announces
that.the Democratic "defeat was the result
of the most lavish expenditure of money
which ever particularized political con-
test, the colonization of fraudulent votes,
and the introduction Of the false issue on
the public schools, which excited preju-
dice, bigotry and religious hate"
This most lavish expenditure of money
was, we suppose, an admission that the
Republicans put up more of the needful
than their Democratic antagonists. The
practice is very reprehensible, but we
scarcely think the wrong consists in the
amount so applied. The colonization of
fraudulent votes is another evil usage
long since introduced by the Democrats.
We may presume that the majority of
these colonized voters accompanied the
triumphant expenditure of money" But
it is sad proof of Democratic decline
that it cries s'enough" on its own inioui-
tous practices, and would turn States eyi.
dence only because disappointed in the
application of its own devices. The in
PRODUCTION of 50 false issue is q novel
ground of objections to popular cleo
ton. II excited '.prejudices." What .

nor sitting on the same benches with i'm
pious little heretics. Oh, no, not at all.
Yet, waving these issues, we do not
read that because the people of Ohio were
not sufficiently aroused upon the woes of
murdered Louisiana. This, with all other
attention to Louisiana seems to have been
omitted in the canvass. The base issue
of more or less shinplasters occupied the
public heart. Mammon clinked his hard
money in the ears of sordid dealers in
pork, soap and candles. The fear or love
for an ecclesiastical potentate five thou
sand miles away cast its baleful shadow
over the social disputations, but mur-
dered Louisiana who lay groaning within
hearing, the stentorian Hon. E. Booth,
who was crying, help help at the top
of his voice were both utterly disregarded
and unheard, or at least unnoticed
We apprehend that Messrs. Mari and
Booth will find it proper to demand
some sort Of explanation of this breach
of faith On the part Of Mr.. William
Allen. We are positive, from the uncom-
promising devotion Of these patriots to
the old-time platform of jackson and
Benton, they would otherwise never have
consented to hold their peace. They are,
however, now free to demand why there
wss not even Democratic inquest held
over murdered Louisiana ct the late Ohio
election. We really fear that six or seven
electoral votes will be too small hand to
go in on at the National Democratic Con-
vention, and that the next election will be
more APT to nationalist on the ''bigotry"
Of New Jersey than upon the woes of
murdered Louisiana.

mittee p 1t is certainly very weak and
aimless talk. The committee have laid SO
much stress upon it, and brought it for
ward so unctuously, as to justify the sus-
picion that duibbling is the argumenta-
tive habit of the patriotic gentlemen who
manage these things. We have no dis
position, however, to meet the question
in this way. We are compelled to an
swer, and, consequently, to dissipate such
foolish propositions as those just referred
to, but we are not anxious or willing to
ignore any serious and well founded
charges that may be brought against SO
important body as the School Board.
The charge, for instance, that some of
them have forfeited their obligations by
failing to visit the schools and otherwise
| neglecting the duties of their position in
| wolves an issue of fact. If any have so
/ neglected their duties it only remains to
| ascertain the truth in order to establish
his ineligibility; and this we are quite
ready to have done. 1t is sensible and
legitimate inquiry. The question OF the
educational and intellectual eligibility of
individual members is question for the
State Board to determine. 1t will prob
ably be considered by that tribunal il
brought up in specific form. But neither
in this nor in any other matter pertaining
to the controversy will the assertions of
any five self-appointed persons be accept
ed as conclusive, nor the claims of any
hap-hazard mass meeting to berecognized
as the people receive unquestioning recog-
milton. While there is idleness and Gu
riosity in the world mass meetings are
at all times practicable, and so long as
effrontery exists it will be always easy to
form a committee and proclaim opinions.
But rational human beings understand
that mass meetings and irresponsible COM
mittees are not the proper instruments of
government. If these gentlemen mean
anything even family resemblinglbusiness,
let them produce some legitimate specific
charges to be considered by the authori-
ties. The less they do in the way CT
making preposterous statements and dis
playing their ignorance Of law and fact,
the better it will be for the cause of JUS
tice and the interests of the 'people"
they assume so confidently to represent.

THE DIsBANDED BUsHWHAcKERs.

The Bulletin, commenting upon the Ohio
| election, says:
Let everything acceptable to the Dem
Ocracy Of each and every State be dropped
| and no longer insisted upon anywhere as
essential party doctrine. When we go into
| the great battle for reform, in 1876, let us
| go with no divided counsel, and to this end
| let us have no item in our creed which the
Democrats OF any section or any State may
be reluctant to indorse.
We do not hold party responsible for
any chance observation of an exasperated
| adherent, but we see other indications
that the Democratic party proposes to &C.
cept the decision of Ohio against flush
money as instruction to vote for Tilden,
the specie basis Democrat. The extract
given is very hasty declaration, and
will no doubt be better guarded in the
Democratic platform. Let us see. Every
thing not acceptable to the local Delnoc-
racy should be dropped; there should be
no item in her creed which any Demo-
crat any where shall be reluctant to en-
dorse. What then becomes of the right
of a State to construe the constitution for
itself? Shall there be protective tariff?
Will the currency ever be redeemed?
Shall the government construct the levees
and improve the navigation of the Missis-
sippi, or build the Philadelphia Pacific
railroad? IT there be more voters quail
fed under the constitution and laws-but
the minority are better marksmen-will
it be Democratic to decide local elections
with the shotgun and the revolver?
We infer from the Bulletin that when
ever the local Democracy wants the one
or the other Of these measures, it will be
Democratic to support them. In such
constituencies as do not approve these
measures it will be Democratic to oppose
them. Nothing must disturb the unity
of the Democratic phalanx as it presses
on to the spoils.
This is very plausible theory, but it
dissolves the Democracy and casts to the
winds all its traditions and principles.
The contest Will then take place upon the
comparative merits Of men and popularity
of measures. There is claim implied in
the suggestion that the Democracy possess
SO much more ability than other people,
that their integrity is so far above
question that to discard all issues
of principle is equivalent to con-
ceding the government to the Democ-
racy. At all events the Democracy is
tired of deception. The telegraph has kept
Tilden and Allen replying to each other,
and every blow stricken by Schurz or
Pendleton has resounded throughout the
Union. "We two are one" said the anna
BILE spouse. "To hear US sometimes people
would think We were dozen," replied the
husband 1t is thus with Democratic
unity. They boldly avow that they don't
agree, won't agree, and don't desire to
agree, but they swear that on that disa-
greement they will triumph. Who or what
will triumph we can not see, nor does it
matter to those who allow every man to
bushwhack on his own hook, and claim
the result as an organized victory.

ooAuihS " tue lOrmS Oh law, ana tnen al
low him to be taken by superior force and
slain before trial, is a pardonable freak o.
popular zeal. The great State of Ohio
has held an election in which there were
perhaps, four times as many votes cast a.
would be in Louisiana. Yet there ha:
been no violence. In Iowa the vote il
about that of Louisiana. There has beer
much excitement, but no murders. Her.
we could not expect an election withou
some exhibition of force in some part o
our State.
Those who repose in their superior
strength and skill in arms may over
awe and silence the true sentiment o
many good citizens. They may even Sc
cure the applause of those WHO value
political ascendency more than public
order. The mass OF the people elsewhere
take different view. They do not thinl
very highly OF the courage of those who
attack the weak. They DO not esteem
the humanity Of those who infict pain
upon the humble, when it might be
spared; nor much OF the humanity Of
such as proclaim all quiet because all are
dumb with terror, and deprecate the pres
ence of force stronger than their own,
because they prefer to deal with the feeble
without intervention.
We have commented on the fact that
the oppression of Louisiana has not been
an issue in Ohio. ANY feeling of SYM
patby for the whites has been arrested by
the positive wrongs inflicted upon the ne
groes. is not surprising that the tide
Of public sentiment has turned against
those who triumph in their superior
strength.
The gin burners and jayhawkers are
merely Ku-Klux Willing away the irk-
some hours between elections. They are
power in the land, perhaps passing

the storehouse and goods, and the jay
hawker, having tasted the plumber, may
on bis own account proceed to reform So
ciety in some other respects. He may
not be satisfied with the conduct or COM
pensation of his Democratic leader, and
may indemnify Or revenge himself by ap-
plying the torch to n stable, gin house or
a store.
The doctrine taught by some very high
political authority requires very great
delicacy in its application. The jay
hawker is not very nice reasoner, yet lie
comprehends that if it be right to take a
mans life because you don't like his vote,
it can not be wrong to burn a store, be-
cause thereby one can get new saddle,
suit of clothes, or other comforts.
We would caution our press to remem-
Der that people of other States do not
acknowledge the doctrine taught by the
Democrats of Louisiana, nor the applica-
ton made by the gin burners and jaw
hawkers, and treated SO leniently by the
press. 1t will assuredly strengthen the
Republican party at home and abroad.
The old Wings and Conservatives will not
tolerate dishonesty or corruption, but they
will not allow the violence upon life and
property which the jayhawkers commit in
the intervals of the elections.
