Truth Becoming Apparent at Last.

II one Is to believe the Southern Democratic
papers, from some of their utterances, the peo-
pie Of the South are unit in desiring North
ern colonists. They deuounce as "Rsdicap
lies the stories that there is any ostracism on
account of politics or birthplace. The only
thing asked is that the new settlers shall not
be mere adventures. Yet they sometimes talk
very differently. For example, the Raleigh
Netrs, the leading Democratic journal In North
Carolina, says:
mite lines must be drawn. Men must be known as
belonging to one order or the other. This delicate
blending of one party with the other, and this
kindly preserrdtion Of social relations will not do.
The Radical party has drawn its line; It has sunk
Its foundation and that foundation Is built on the
IN Wayne, in New Hanover, we see Democrats and
IN full soctal accord. Is this right
Shall democrats se..pt their mssters2 Must the
policyf And will the white . yuslI
as q social equal the men who have nursed IN
their arms negro babies and kissed mothers, tbs
the equality Of the races might be preserved
God forbid that the white men Of North Csrolina
should come down to this degradation.
This is very lofty talk for the men who have
been nursed by black women and are often the
fathers of copper-colored children. 1t is the
equality, after all, that is the trouble. The
Southern Conservatives are doing their best to
restore slavery in everything but Its name, and
in North Carolina are plotting to overturn the
present excellent State constitution. As long
as this disposition continues to be manifested
Northern settlers and Northern capital will
fight shy of the South.

WHILE the Northern Gushers are pro-
claiming to their hearers the peaceful sub
mission of the Southern people to the
present condition of affairs, such leading
and influential Southern journals as the
Richmond Dispatch are teaching their
readers to hate the General Government
by such utterances as the following
"Ten years ago, before any reconstruction
measures were passed, we expressed the de-
cided opinion that our form of government
was q consolidated despotism, and we have
had no occasion to change our opinion"
This declaration is intended by the Dis
match for the information of the New York
Tribune, as is also the following allusion
to the emancipation of the slaves:
1--WE are only saying that Government
which can steal from is people billions OF dol
lars worth of property upon the pretext that
the life of the nation is In peril can do any
thing; that Government which can BY force
change what purports to be the organic law
Of the Republic can do anything; that II
Congress had the right to compel The Southern
States to ratify the 18th, 14th and 18th articles
of amendment to the Federal Constitution, II
has the right to compel all the States to
ratify new one providing that the President
shall appoint all the members of Congress"
So, we learn that instead of peacefully
and gratefully accepting the constitutional
amendments as compensation for the
pardon of the crime of rebellion, the
Southern States were forced to &C.
cept them, and that the emancipation
was a theft. 1t is to be hoped that the
Tri5uns viii continue to develop the facts
regarding the Southern situation by it,

THE Board of Fire Commissioners, at
their meeting last night, consumed much
time in discussing the case of Foreman
Parish of No, engine company, who is I'M
der charges fer using grossly disrespectfu
language towards the chief engineer. The
ability of Mr.. Parish as a fireman is un
disputed; but, notwithstanding that fact
it is about time the commissioners made

A CERTAIN CLASS of journals are attempt
ing to draw a parallel between Horace
Greeley's visit to Texas and the proposed
trip of JEFF. Davis to Illinois. There Is only
one similarity between them. Both were
intended to combine politics with agricul
ture. Greeley, however, was loyal man,
and when the ex-rebels of the Lone Star
State honored him by inviting him to ad-
dress them they also honored themselves.
JEFF Davis is an unpsrdoned rebel, who has
not even asked for pardon. He is simply
a criminal at large on bail. When the ILL
nos idiots Honored him by inviting him to
address a gathering of loyal farmers they
dshonored themselves and the people of
the entiEe North. Horace Greeley's ex-
simple to rising generations, while it is not
free from blemish, is worthy of emulation;
but who will dare to say as much for
Dsvisf The Gushers cannot avoid the
charge that distinguishing honor conferred
upon the leaders of the late rebellion re-
suits in the destruction of all veneration
for pure and unsullied patriotism.

THE Memphis Appeal wisely says that

"copy after Iowa and Michigan, whose
Educational systems are models for all
"new and sparsely settled States" But
what is the use of talking this way when
the school system of the Appeals own

for want of support, when in Arkansas
another Democratic State-it is so practi-
cally dead that emigrants seek other 10
calities in which to settle for the purpose
of securing educational advantages for
their children, and when such Southern
Democratic leaders as ex-C Confederate Post
master General Reagan, Of Texas, are sus-
tanned in such utterances as the following:
at (the school system) is not only burden
some to sparse populations, but inefficient.
There are over four hundred thousand chill
dren in the State within the scholastic age,
costing the State annually for education over
three millions of dollars. This would not be
borne even by old and wealthy States. I
never could see the right that / had to make
another man pay for the education Of my chill
dren. cannot see the justice of 1t, and do
not, therefore, approve taxation for this pur-
pose"
The Appeal may as well make up its
mind first as last that the Southern De-
mocracy Is foolishly bent upon the destruc-
ton of popular education in whatever
form it may be suggested.

THERE SEEMS to be a growing inclina
ton among those Of our people in all Sec
tions of the country near the seaboard to
take advantage Of the many opportunities
offered them for enjoyment in the way of
excursions on the salt water. One imme-
diate result of this is the disregard of the
laws regulating the number of passengers
that may be carried by the owners or COM
manders of vessels engaged in this bust.
ness. The Brooklyn Union calls attention
to the fact that Sound steamer, on an ex-
cursion to Rockaway few days ago car
ried three thousand passengers, when her
limit was probably one thousand. One of
these days an accident will happen on
some such occasion, and the country will
be thrilled with grief with news of hor-
rible catastrophe. Then the Authorities
will be blamed, as usual, investigations
will follow, and in the end no one will be
punished. In the meantime Bergh and his
fellow -sentimentalists are closely watching
for opportunities to punish some unlucky
wight whom they may catch in the act of
cruelty treating dumb beast.

THE New York Tribuns of the 18th
instant suggests that Assistant Secretary
Cowen would have been better employed
in answering Mr.. Welsh's charges against
the Indian Department than in pointing
cut errors in his "open letters" That is
as it may appear to the editor of the
Tribune, but to any fair-minded, honorable
man it will suggest itself that inasmuch as
a competent commission of honorable gen
tlemen is nov engaged in the investigation
of those charges, Mr.. Governs silence in
regard to them is eminently proper. Of
course, the Tribune objects to the impeach-
ment Of its witnesses, and refuses to publish
any statement tending in that direction.
On the return of the investigating commit
NEE from the West Mr.. Welsh will have
another opportunity to make good his
charges, and it is to be hoped that he will
be compelled to appear and testify. That
will be the occasion to traverse his state
ments, and he will find things sufficiently
lively for him at that time.

examples, to show that the same thing has
occurred all over the South. In the late
Alabama election, for example, we were
gratuitously informed by dispatch from
Montgomery, we believe, that certain
candidate had been defeated by the Demo
Gratis in his own county, on account of his
previous Endorsement of the so-called Force
Bill. The impression made by this asser-
ton was that the Republican nominee had
been deserted by his own party, when the
truth was there were three candidates in
the field, and the one referred to was espe-
cially denounced by the State Central
Committee of the party as unworthy of its
support. The idea intended to be
conveyed was that the Force Bill
was unpopular not only with the Demo
Gratis, but among those whose party
associations naturally ranked them as
its most earnest admirers. The same thing
occurs whenever an outbreak of popular
feeling, provoked by race-prejudices, takes
place in any of the Southern States. Ac-
cording to the dispatches regarding such
affairs, the blacks are-imvariably response
BILE for the provocation, the whites simply
arm themselves for self.protection,a and one,
"a dozen or hundred bloodthirsty negroes
are shot to death. In this way the Asso.
citation not only conceals the facts regarding
great crimes, but aids in their perpetration
by rs misinformation regarding them.

track of Booth since he emigrated to Cali
