Southern Outrages Dead.


The telegram published by us yesterday
relative to the views Of Judge hELLkf' VI
Pbiladelphia, concerning "southeru QUIZ
RACES" Is one Of the very clearest eV'ue"eeS
that the Radical outrage" trick Is at an
end. 1t is no longer OF USE anu WI" ~
abandoned as an invention that mas oeeu cp'
tircly superseded.
M effect could more naturally follow us
.ousn than that the politicians should apan'
don a political trick that had eomp'e's's'
failed. We do not mean TO assert that Judge
Er,,sy has been altogether Influenced TO de-
,ounce the courage making business on
This ground. He is a man OF Sood dc&ree
Of warmth Of feeling, and inclined 10 gene
rosity: and We suppose he is somewhat ln-
dignant a, the deliberate wrongs perpetrateo
by the rascally Radicals towards the South )
but we may, at least, say bis that the kadI'
cal game has unavoidably met with expo
sure, and even Judge KELLEY, as one Oh the
better sort of Republican partissps, has been
persuaded 10 do something besides phnuiy
voting for the harsh measures based upon
alleged southern horrors. Had the machine
continued to work smoothly, and had justice
and truth never caught up with the HAIRS ana
thieves. investigations from the class Of par
tisans and congressman would not have been
actively pressed, no matter how the lnno'
cent South had been ground up in the ma
chine.
We nevertheless feel very decided gratitica
ton that 50 prominent a Republican as Judge
KELLEY has discovered as well the odlous
nature of the outrage machine as its lnefn'
cheney and utter failure. II is very likely
that the Judge makes some considerable sac
rifce in taking ground against the policy OF
the ultra Radicals, and thus a5andons Inc
way TO continue the party OF prosecutor
and vindic,iveness in power. lie cannot DC
auy longer officer Of theirs. He has de-
p!orcd his vote for the force bill Of last win
ter, which was clearly the Republican issue
Of the session. Upon that the very exist
ence of the party was staked. he remained
with them and stood their test. But now
he rclenls and turns his back upon them
He must be no longer Of them, having IN
this manner gone apart from them.
From ConscientiousneSs or policy the best
and more influential men have either joined
or must join the party of peace aud national
kaTmnnv. The Union cannot exist in a
state of sectional war. The people took the in
itiatoly step and the politicians must be CON-
pcllcd to 60 with them. TRUMBULL and all
tie Libcralists are rapidly approaching the
day Of their vindication. Like BANKS, they
will be rewarded with the public honors as
men who placed their country above party.
Judge KELLY is somewhat tardy in SEQ
ing he Radical error OF attempting to make
the Government the engine Of party perse-
cutiOn rs well as the means OF party rapa-
city but he leaves many behind him, and
he will have the satisfaction Of doing good
service in redeeming the nation from sec.
tonal haze and the wrongs of a ruthless nd.
mni>tralion.
We think that the opportunity is arpro-
pirate Judge KELLEY being Philadel-
phian-to remark that such sentiments as his
are entirely in conformity with the impulses
thu should control all friends of the Centen-
Mai celebration. lie supports that with en-
thuSilsm. The southern people would be
onl of place there as long as they were de-
p:ivcd of the rights and liberties, through
calumEy and oppression, bequcalhed them
by their ancestors. Vindicate them and give
them equality and justice, and they may be
able also to shake foot and utter shout on
thc Centennial"
