Specimen Extracts from South.
ern 1ildcn Papers.
The following paragraphs are taken
from the Meridian Miss. Mercury of
the 11th inst:
1T is just possible that the North
ern Republicans, who, in their rage,
threaten that Tilden, if elected, will
not be permitted to be inaugurated,
count largely, in case of resort to arms
to prevent it, on the negro element,
being ia the way Of throwing the
weight of the South's strength in IA
vor of the right Iftheir folly should
provoke an appeal to arms, it will be
attended with .. least one result
They will learn that solid South in
peace is far more so in war. There
will be no masters then to be inter.
fering with the more perfect use of
the thews aud sinews of the negroes,
which the governing race will then
command most absolutely. The
turbulent manifestations observed
now, in war, would cease altogether,
because in war laws are silent, and
the most silent Of all the ridiculous
statutes of reconstruction would be
those laws which now tempt foolish
negroes to turbulence, and such fool
ish ventures as ut Aresia on Wednes-
day.
1.-THE Radical ticket distributed
among the negroes yesterday was
headed Hold the Fort!' It had .
picture with Father Abraham as
the principal figure. The darkeys
stuck them deep down in their pock-
cts and held them with a grip. It is
not certainly known what white man
distributed the tickets among them,
but it was done clandestinly. They
didn't hold the fort.
"The negroes didn't hold the fort
much in this county. Now that it is
all over, we would give a pretty good
sum to know who printed those tick
cts headed Hold the Fort and who
distributed them. We suggest to
those that the better policy, in the fu-
ture, is to print their tickets openly
and distribute them openly, like white
men. In other words, we recon-
mend our Radical friends to be "a bold
as sheep in all their election tricks
That il the way to put up the value
of wool as factor in popular elec-
ton.
There got out an impression yes
terday that there was United States
Marshal and spy about. A drummer
came into the crowd and was locker
on in Vienna, and soon fell under sus-
picion. He was very soon interview
ed, but with all due politeness. His
references were satisfactory. We do
not suppose he takes our inquisitiv-
ness unkindly at all, as most gentle-
manly apologies We're rendered for in
terrupting his quiet observations"
VIRGINIA THREATS TO NEGROES.
From the Pe.ersb lrg Index appeal. Novem-
ber IA.
BLACK folks are said to be power
full uncertain We had some instan-
ces of colored Inconsistency in this
district. The North Carolina papers
are publishing the names of negroes
in that State who promised their
white friends solemnly to vote for
Tilden, and then went treacherously
to the polls and deposited their ballots
for Hayes and Wheeler. Among
these scoundrels was a colored barber
of Halifax, by the name of John Dab
ney. The hope is expressed in our
North Carolina exchanges that these
knaves will be spotted and treated as
their perfidy deserves. The men who
vote deliberately against the rights,
the peace, the interests and the liber-
ties OF the Southern people have no
clain - he supported by the patron
age .. III. citizens Of this section
They will never be brought to reason
except by short, sharp and decisive
measures. Let them be left without
patrons and without friends, and they
will soon find out where their inter-
ests lie, and will vote accordingly. 1t
may seem beneath the dignity Of gen.
tlemen to concern themselves about
the politics of those who serve them;
but this is no ordinary political issue,
and those who oppose us are warning
on the very liberties of our children,
and on the bread which goes into
their mouths. We cannot make it
too warm for these miscreants, and
the sooner the policy of making them
responsible for their iniquitous course
is inaugurated, the better it will be
for all parties interested.
INTIMIDATION IN GEORGIA.
The Washington Wilkes county,
Ga, } Gazette says that the vote there
was l, ,139 for Tilden and for Hayes,
and then talks thus plainly: ''The
above shows this old county to be still
true to the Democracy. Atthe State
election last month there was not .
single Radical vote polled in the coun-
ty. In the voting Tuesday there
were two voted at this precinct, by
whom is unknown; and it 10 well, per-
haps, that the two creatures who at
tempted to dim our bright escutch-
cons should remain unknown. The
