ted to make an effort worthy Of the demmdsi
Of the times and the subjects demanding
discussion. But, IA the New York HsroR
deems it worthy of lengthy leader, be-
sides dozen repetitions of the query,
"What does Gov. Tilden think Of this
Hamburg bruiality?" we dare not remain
silent. Even Gov. Chamberlin, Of S. c.,
who is often charged with toadying to tn
Southern antpnthy to the colored man
speaks thus in his letter TO Hon. T. J
Robertson, U. s. s.: "The victims at Ham
burg were murdered in cold blood aitG
they had surrendered and were utterly d. !
fencelcss. No occasion existed for causig |
the presence Of single armed man at
Hamburg on the day Of the massacre. 40 |
violence was offered or threatened anyne.
1t is said, as usual, the niggcrs were M
pudcnt,' but the evidence shows thatall
the actual physical aggression was onhe
part Of the whites. They made demmd
they had no right to make, and when hat
demand was refused as it should have hcn,
they proceeded to enforce it by arms,snd
crowned their success in enforcing
; demands by brutal murders. Shamssald
: disgust must fill the breast Of every mn
, who respects his race or human nutiFe
when lie reads the tale"
This witness is unimpeachable, and rs
; the testimony he offers is given after e.
ceipt of the inquest OF the coroner, suppe-
mcnted by the report of the Attorncy-G Gol-
eral Of the State, it defes criticism. Gen.
Garfield truly told Sunset that it was use
less "to endeavor to laugh murder out OF
the case" and referred to the more manly
course of Hartridge, OF Ga, who had DIFF
antly approved the action of the rebel GIN.
Butler in gathering the white assassins No-
gcther and numbering the disarmed blacks
who had violated no law, offended no ot-
izen, outraged no public sentiment. V,ri-
= ly, indeed, will the people, in tones not to
(, be disregarded, demand OF Tweed's old
