! well rounded expressions. His theories. his
sentiments are all utterly false. Il thinks, and il
even attempts to correct his statement that the
South is still barbarous by citing history and the
long roll Of Southern Presidents and statesmen
IA great waste Of time. It's conclusions are that

The PicoWtne asserts that Packard believes in
his own strength. that he feel3 confident of get
ting troops whenever he wants them and that
he says he has been promised the support of a
large number of Conservative voters This he
confessedy needs to make good the deficit of
votes caused by the large number Of negroes
that in Baton Rouge and other parishes have
come over to the Democratic party but where
these Conservative votes are to come from. /,

the name OF a single Conservative voter who has
expressed any intention or desire to go over to
the Republicans in the coming election ~ it

The Ptcoy1le reviews the Hamburg affair and
shows that according to the letter of Gen NJ G.
Butler, the whole matter has been falsely and
enormously related. The negroes now turn out
not to be militia at all. but merely mob of
rioters in open resistance to the law. AS for

months previous. in Georgia. for inciting insur-
rection and had fed in consequence to South
Carolina. .s

pacity. but refuses to support him because il is
opposed to the Democratic party. which, 1t as
serts. is trying to get into power under the cloak

Tilden is the true Representative and embod-

form. its action Ia Congress and elsewhere. it is
in perfect accord with Mr.. Tilden and Mr. Til
den's ideas Of reform and retrenchment.
The ReputticaN is evidently dreaming OF
blood, everything assumes a bloody hue to it.
No less than three articles are devoted entirely
to the subject Of blood and massacre 1t charges
first, in q serio-comic way. that the Democrats
have been supplying the Indians with arms to
massacre the whites. Possibly this may be
humorous, a clumsy iocular article; 1t Is i'm
possible to say.
Ii next quotes scripture 1.-THE devil may

who take the sword shall perish by the sword,
but leaves in doubt the question whether it re-

Southern people arc honestly opposed to all !

The Bulletin reviews the Baton Rouge Conven-
ton. and comes to the conclusion that the |
chances Of any candidate are very uncertain. |

combine on one side and McEnery and Wilt on |

The Bee thinks the Hamburg affair to be the
anie old story of Southern outrage, exaggerated
md misreported to make political capital North.
I asserts that when the entire and true story is
