The Portland daily press., 1876-12-02
Eliza Pinkstan's Story.

A more sickening tale of brutal outrage has
never found its way into print than the one
which comes from New Orleans of the man.
ner in which Eliza Pinkston was mutilated.
The woman saw her husband cut to pieces,
her child was murdered in her arms, she her
self was outraged and her body was riddled
with knives and bullets. Her testimony is
printed elsewhere. No man can read it with
out blush of shame at the thought that such
savage atrocity is possible in this land. The
most brutal Turk that holds sway in Bulga-
ria to-day would indignantly resent the accu-
satlon OF so horrid crime, and the widest
Indian ofthe plains could not surpass its fiend-
ishness.
One does not wonder that those who heard
the story were moved to fierce indignation.
Men with hearts in their breasts could not
listen unmoved to the sickening narrative.
General Palmer exclaimed that the question
arose above all questions of party or presi-
dent making, for it concerned the honor and
good name of the country, it was a question
of humanity; and we cannot but believe that
he voiced the sentiment Of every honest Dem
ocrat in the North. There may be men
whose strong partisan zeal will lead them to
excuse the atrocious crime, but for the honor
of humanity we hope they are few. Already
the Southern Democrats are endeavorng to
discredit the appalling revelation, which they
now see is losing them the support of all true
men in the North; and to disprove the testi.
mony of Eliza Pinkston they are adducing
the evidence Of the very men who committed
the crime! They are attempting to persuade
the country that she ard others like her
manned and disfgured themselves for the
purpose Of being used as false witnesses
against the innocent Democrats of Louisiana
But the damning record cannot be b!otted
out. The proof is too strong. Independent,
impartial observers, who have inquired into
all the facts of the case, firmly believe the wo-
mans story.
The country feels too that this is not an
isolated case, that Henry Pinkston is not the
first man who has been murdered in the
South because of his political opinions. There
are many well attested cases of murder, in
which American citizens have been shot down
for daring to support the Republican party.
People remember the Coushatta slaughter,th
great Paris grant massacre, the murders in the
Red River country. They know the outrage
upon Eliza Pinkston is not an uncommon cir
cumstance in the sad history of Louisiana.
and they can scarcely question the justice of
Sheridan's epithet, when he stlgmatized the
people who could be guilty of such crimes as
'banditti."

IN six countits of Georgia not single
Republican vote for President is returned.
In the county of Lowndes, Mississippi, which
has always been good for 1900 Republican
majority, there was not one Republican vote.
In the county of Yazoo, in the same State,
the Republican majority of 1000 was reduced
to two votes. Another Republican county
showed just thirteen votes for Hayes. In
East Feliciana, Louisiana, which has 1,5OC
Republican majority, only three Republican
votes are returned. OF course, such results
can only be explained in one way. Bull
doing did it. And why shouldn't Tilden,
with such means, have popular ma.
iority?.'

STRANGE ideas of sociablity these Louisi
ana Democrats have. One of them described
the election in the "bull, dozed" parishes as

stuck up. They didn't stop to be introduced
to man before they shot him,

THE Democrats are taking a good deal of
comfort, unnecessarily, from a comparison of
aggregate votes of 1872 and 1876, showing
diminished Republican majorities in North
ern states. The edge is taken off this COM
parison by the well known fact that Mr.. Gree
ley did not draw out the Democratic vote in
1872, and the Republican majorit;es in that
year were much larger than they would have
been if the Democracy had been united on
their candidate.
