PARSON MILLER'S EXCUSE.

The Rev. Hugh Miller Thompson has
written letter home to excuse his con-
duct in the matter of signing that appeal.
His apology is published in his home
organ, the New York Times. We find it
to be pure and simple, a plea on his own
behalf and that of all preachers for the
right of expressing political opinions
whenever he or they happen to entertain
any. Mr.. Miller thinks it a great hard
ship to be criticized for holding with the
Louisiana Democrats, and at the same
time it would not be difficult to show that
he is hardly on civil terms here with other
preachers who hold with the Republicans.
This fact the reverend apologist will
hardly have the courage to deny, since if
it came to the knowledge of the lamb-like
Christians of Trinity Church that their
newly imported parson had begun al
ready to coquet with the political enemy
they would dismiss him from their en-
ployment instanter.
position. He is placed between two op-
posing forces, and naturally leans to the
most powerful, which in his case happens
to be the most profitable. The congrega-
ton over which he presides would not
tolerate for moment the least suspicion
of leaning towards Radicalism, and he
knows it. As he is only recently from
the North, the suspicion is very natural
one that some of the seeds of a per-
nicious abolitionism yet linger in his sys-
tenn, as it is notorious that a true
Christian, q faithful pastor and in
telligent man who has been raised
in the North or in Europe with
out being in some sort inoculated with the
spirit Of liberty, the love of justice and
Christian regard for the rights of every
human being, is a rara avis. Whatever
may have been Mr.. Miller's political SEN
timents in New York is nothing to do with
the present case. Our Trinity Church
hires its parsons to read its liturgy in the
orthodox sing-song fashion, and 60 for
the Assyrians, Persians, Greeks, Romans
and other heatben offenders who -four
ished twenty or twenty-five centuries ago.
He is paid salary and provided with
contingent articles of convenience, in
GLIDING of course complete set Of po-
litical opinions.
With his opinions, however, we have no
concern. No Republican paper that We
have seen has ever criticised him on that
account His fault, and most serious
one it was. is that he subscribed, as
witness, to q condition Of alleged facts
which had been prepared by others. and
about which, Of his own personal knowl-
edge, he could have known little or moth
ing. The spirit and the assertions Of that
appeal have been swept away completely

BY the sworn testimony Of numerous COM

unlucky psper were aware Of the nature

credit to believe that il they had known
the facts rs they existed they would never
have consented to put themselves on .
record SO irreconciliably at variance with
the truth. Every intelligent man in Lou
isiana knew at the time that appeal was
signed that in many parishes there was
anything else but peace, and the solemn
declaration Of these procured witnesses
was regarded IS cruel mockery.

this year or next, but it is the key to the
future peace Of the country, and it will
not be abandoned until the Last Ditch

and the rights Of Republicans, white and

fore, that the programme Of the State
rights Democracy is to end in an open
rupture with the Federal government
The attempt 10 set up duplicate govern
ment in South Carolina will involve the
decision of the Federal executive as to
which he will recognize and maintain.
The same condition may occur in Louis

may alone be determined by enjoying the
forfeiture Of representation. 1t is greatly
to be deprecated, but if the State rights
Democracy will not acquiesce in the con-
stitutional amendments, the next decision
may be final.

1t is only when the exercise of the right
Of suffrage threatens to maintain the
supremacy of the Republican party and
its principles that this inhuman and sys-

July, 1876, testifes Mr. Hall, "everything
was peaceful" The Democracy then or
ganized and drilled in rife clubs, received
arms from elsewhere, and commenced the
assault upon colored Republicans, as in
Mississippi, Georgia and Carolina, by at
tributing to the latter purpose to "rise"
and massacre the whites. From that date
until the election these armed bodies
patrolled the country, chiefly at night,
shooting or terrifying the colored Repub-
licans, assassinating or running off white
Republicans, and preparing such reign
of terror that no fair election was
possible. During this whole period
any negro could secure his person.

the relations between the races were

viceable before the election-if the COL

this relation upon the pledge ard pawn
Of their right of suffrage, the inference
must be clear that the violence and in

because of their race, color or previous
condition, but because Of the political
