l"Van" in Springfield Republican,
Southern RuIe.

Eight years ago this very year, the bad men
belonging to the Democratic party in the
state of Louisiana, undertook TO strike terror
into the hearts of the negroes of that state, so
they would not dare to go to the polls on elec-
tion-day. A committee, of which George f.
Hoar was prominent member, went down
there afterward and inquired into all the facts,
and they actually proved over eight hundred
cold-blooded murders within week in that
state Since that evidence was put on file, 1
have not been able to regard southern civiliza-
tion as fit to live in this country. 1t may he
very wrong to stir up anew the passions of the
war for the sake of personal success, but am
absolutely sure of one thing; namely, that the
country cannot afford TO take the risk OF allow
ing the south to govern it for many years yet;
not till there can arise southern statesman
good enough to admit that slavery was wrong,
and the civilization which it fostered IS wofnl-
ly deficient iu some respects. No such south
eruer sits in the present Congress. One and
all seem to think that nowhere on the face of
the earth is there intelligence, honor, aud true
philanthrophy, though the southern people do
hate the negroes, and see nothing inhuman in
the employment of blood.houuds to catch es.
capped military prisoners.

return for this leniency they hate the northern
men with a bitterness that is as much beyond
their hatred before the war as it was possible
for disappointment to make il.
Mr.. Frye well represents the sentiment here
as well as elsewhere. The weak-kneed Re-
publicans of year ago have found strength
in the threatened danger of Democratic as
cendancy. They have had enough of Democ-
racy in House like the present inefficient
and disloyal body Our information from New
Hampshire and Connecticut supports this opin-
ion. The Republicans are for reconciliation,
but not for surrender; they are for peace but
not for disgrace. They have got to fight au-
other campaign against the advance of the ex-
confederates This is the opinion forced upon
the present minority in the House, aud this is
the view the Republican majority in the North
must take of the situation during the ensuing
Presidential canvass. / may remark here that
Mr.. Frye has been invited to 60 to New Hamp-
shire and take part in the canvass, and he will
probably accept He will do good work, for he
knows the danger that would follow from Dem
ocratic success, and where his heart goes he is
eloquent and convincing We expect and
must have good report from New Hampshire
next month.
The Maine campaign club is doing well. 1t
has about 15O members, all workers, who pro-
pose to help Maine give the largest majority
in Maine she ever gave. IT Mr.. Blaine shall
be nominated for President as now appears
probable, the majority should and can be forty
thousand. The men now here from Iowa,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Kansas Nebraska, Mis-
souri,, California and many other states far
West and South, talk of sending Blaine dele
cations, solid" They expect New England
to be as solid" in his favor, and their hope is
reasonable. Mr.. Blaine's friends have reason
to expect his nomination after very short con.
test, for he is the second choice of mcst of the
states having candidates of their own. Maine,
therefore, should be up and doing in the work,
for she must set good example to the other
states. WALTON.

IT is very funny to hear Democrats taking
credit to their party because no deficiency
bills are to be reported this session. The
credit belongs to the Administration which
has so reduced expenses that the appropria-
tions made were sufficient, and to tine pre-.
ceding congress which made SO ample .provis-
ion for the necessities of government. It is
safe to say that if the Democracy persist in
crippling the departments there will be hosts
of deficiency bills next session. But the
Democrats don't care for that, for the Presl-
dental election will then be over.
