MISSISSIPPI.

Mr.. James Redpath Of Boston, fur
nishes very interesting letter to the New
York Times, giving a clear and compre-
hensive view Of the political situation in
Mississippi. 1t will attract general atten-
ton and do much to rouse the country to
the alarming dangers that threaten the
Freedmen and the Republicans OF the
South.
The writer had peculiar advantages for
gathering the facts of the case. The out
RACES by which the democrats carried, or
claimed to have carried, the election in
Mississippi last fall led to the appointment
of a committee of investigation. This
committee consisted of Senators Boutwell,,
Cameron of Wisconsin, Mcmillan, Bay
and and McDonald-the first three being
republicans and the others democrats.
These gentlemen proceeded to Mississippi
and entered upon the discarge of their
duty. They held twenty-five sessions and
examined one hundred and thirty witness
L.
and he sums it up as follows:
The Committee, if it limits its report by the in
sructions of the resolution appointing it, will de-
clare that the last election was characterized by
"great frauds committed upon and violence exer.
cised to ward the colored citizens of that State
and the white citizens disposed to support them.
1t will show that the colored voters in all the
counties where they outnumber the whites,
were overawed by an organized system OF terro-
ism. .
1t will prove that wholesale murders and mid
night assasinations were promptly resorted to
whenever less violent methods failed to intmidate
the republicans.
1t will establish the fact that scores Of the lead
ers of the colored people-mainly the negro Pres
idents of republican clubs-were driven Oh or ST.
fenced or murdered.
1t will tell that white men were subjected to
the same terrors whenever they scorned to sue.
cumb to the social and political influences around
them.
1t will be proved that the planters. in many
parts of the State, incorporated in their leases
the intimidatlng proviso that if the negro renter
failed to vote with the landowner all his share OF
farm-should be forfeited to the proprietor by
this independent political action.
1t will demonstrate, in one word, without DIS
pute, that the lachrymose Lamar, who wept over
Summers coffin lids, owed. his election as United
States Senator to the overthrow Of every civil
right to secure which the great Northern states
man lived and died.
In his mastery presentation of the sub
ject asking for the appointment of lthe
committee, Senator Morton did not state
the case as strongly as the evidence war;
rants, though at the time he was. taken
severely to task by the democratic press
for trying to produce sensation. All
and more than all, that the Senator
charged, is fully sustained by an abund-
ance of sworn testimony. The report of
the committee, which cannot fail to call
the country to sense of the new dangers
that menace the South, will be awaited
with interest.

NICE AND LIONS.

1t pleases the democratic press to speak
of Gov. Hayes as nobody. pigmy, a
nonenity The crooked Esop of democ-
racy likens other candidates, now that they
are defeated, to the lion. the tiger, and
the elephant, and Hayes to the mouse. 1t
must be very satisfactory to them to reflect
that this Republican mouse has met in dead
ly combat the democratic lion, elephant and
jackal and has defeated them all. Ohio
has been the national battle ground ever
since the present parties were formed.
Stephen A. Douglas left behind him no
democratic leader at the West of wider
or stronger popularity than George II.
Pendletop, whose hosts Of friends invaded
New York at the National Convention of
1868. and who would then have been NOM
mated as the democratic candidate for the
Presidency but for the two-thirds rule.
Yet Mr. Pendleton tried to defeat r. b.
Hayes for Governor of Ohio, and got bad
ly beaten after contest of then unprece-
dented ferceness. Allen e. Thurman has
for years been the acknowledged leader
of the democratic party in the Senate of
the United States. Intellectually no other
democrat who has been in that body since
the war is a match for him; his personal
character is beyond reproach; and his
candor and dignity have always secured
for him very high respect even from po-
litical opponents. Yet in Ohio. where he
is known, loved, and honored. Mr.. Thur
man tried to defeat r. b. Hayes and got
beaten. William Allen is a man of very
different stamp. He appeals with won
derful power to the basest and most igno-
rant elements of both parties, and. hav-
ing been easily elected in 1873, was Sc
lected to lead the great struggle of 1875.
Even by political foes his campaign was
pronounced a marvel of energy, endur-
ance, and INSCRIPTIONS cunning. Yet he
was beaten by the same r. b. Hayes. If
republican mice have such terrible pow
er as compared with the strongest demo-
Gratis in Ohio, is it not about time for the
democratic party to wind up business p

Facts for New England Considera-
ton.

Washington, July 8. The analysis of the vote
in the House of Representatives on Thursday
upon the passage of the bill providing for the
further distribution of the Geneva Award fund
obtained from Great Britain, now in the Treasury
discloses some remarkable facts which both dem
ocrats and republicans will do well to study, as
indicating the disposition of the Southern dcmoc-
racy upon any measure for the relief of Northern
interests.
1t will be borne In mind that the bill as finally
passed by the small majority of thirteen, gives
recompense to the premium men who paid
large sums to insurance companies, and also to
the owners of vessels and property destroyed by
what are called the inculpated cruisers. These
claimants reside largely in Maine, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island ard other northern Atlantic States,
and in California.
The bill was passed by a vote of 10Y yeas to 81
nays. OF the 81 votes against the bill but l6 were
republican, the remaining IS votes being fur
nished by the democratic party. But the almost
solidity of the southern democratic vote is the
most noteworthy thing in the analysis, and shows
what northern interests may expect if the demOc-
racy should ever gain complete control of the
government.
OF the "a nays recorded against the bill "a were
furnished by the democracy of the South. They
represent the States Of Virginia, West Virginia,
North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri
and Arkansas. Among the nays are found Ben
Hill, Lamar. Singleton Of Mississippi, (who early
in the session was led to admit by Mr.. Hale that
the South expected to get the Southern Pacific
Railroad built the Mississippi levees constructed,
and the cotton tax repaid. Faulkner of West
Virginia, Blackburn of Kentucky, Gibson of
Louisiana, and Robbins of North Carolina. Lit
tie or no argument was advanced by the Southern
democracy for this unanimity. Their natural
hostility to any measure for Northern relief is
shown in the vote Washington Correspondence
