The Northern democratic newspapers should
not forget that Southern outrages' always
take place Immediately preceding elections and
Immediately succeeding exposures of radical
frauds. AS Mr.. B. F. Butler said tina. he had
been called everything but a fool, so
that latter word is always excluded from
the vocabulary of anathemas that is
daily ransscked by the radicals 10 order
to find terms 10 which to express their hatred
of the South. aud yet as the South has every
thing to lose and nothing to gain by such affairs
as that at Hamburg the Southern people must
be the veriest fools upon the face of the earth
that is if they originate such disturbances.
Isn't it the most probable that the assertion 80
often made that the "outrages' are the result of
radical inssiga.iou. is true !?

'On the Fourth of July, at Hamburg, two

general. Mr.. Merriweather, an es.ina,le
Young white man, was killed. This inturiated
the white crowd, which Gen. Butler says was
