AFFAIRS IN THE SOUTH.

p" ncH the noTtntrn ltepubilCan pa
pers say anything about the murders
in the southern states, they are accus-
ed Of stirring up old animosities-re-
opening the sores of the war--of wav-
ing the "bloody shirt" BE this as 1t
may, however, no one should object to
our quoting from southern Democratic
papers. The Hamburg butchery is too
fresh in the minds of all to need re-
statement Of the facts now. That was
a foul murder Of unarmed and helpless
negroes. Taking that as the popular
Democratic idea of justice to all who
oppose the Democratic party in the
south, We can readily understand the
full meaning Of the following:
Lynchburg, (Va.l Star: The South
Carolina negroes are getting their
backs up. They had better remember
the fate of their brethren i'm Mississippi.
An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure.n
Aberdeen Miss Examiner, July
26th, 1876: God gave the victory To
people who were contending for liberia
ton from the hasest thralldom ever en-
dured by a civilized race, and who
would have been justified in swinging
up their oppressors as food for the buz-
yards to the boughs of our forest trees.
Magnolia Miss. Herald: If the ne
groes Of Pike county desire to continue
the amiciable relations now existing
between them and the whites, to have
their rights respected and to prosper,
let them prove II by organizing Demo-
cratic clubs and by voting for Tilden
and Hendricks.
Okolona Miss. States: The Ham
burg, S. C., riot is the latest sensation.
The Sioux Indian massacre fired the
Northern heart somewhat but nothing
to compare with the Hamburg affair,
in which half a dozen colored militia
met the usual fate in race conflict.
Some ofour representatives In congress
pour out vials of wrath upon the white
banditti. This may be wise policy but
the principle we do not like.
The Jackson Miss Clarion, edited
by Il. Barksdale, the bosom friend of
jeff. Davis and Colonel Lamar, the
Democratic official organ of Mississ-
ippi, and the most influential paper i'm
the state, has this to say of the Ham
burg massacre: "No impartial person
can read the reports of the affair with
out approving the conduct of the
whites, but at the same time sympa-
thizing with them in the misfortune of
having been forced to such an extrem-
ity Of action In self-defencc."
Brandon Miss Republican Demo
cratic): Twitchell, the Coushatta Rad
ical thief, who was shot some weeks
since by one Of his partners in crime
whom he had swindled, has gone north
ms Campaign document" The fell
low shot both his arms off and Grip
Piled him in one leg, and he is now ex-
hibiting himself as a martyr, and tells
the people he was shot by the Ku-
klux Of Louisiana. He ought to have
been hanged or burned years ago. and
it is only surprising that the people did
not hang him.
Mobile Register: There are but two
parties, can be but two parties with us,
the white and the black, and who is
not of the former must belong to the
latter.
Brandon Miss Republican Demo
cratic: Sitting Bull, the chief Of the
Sioux Indians, has summary way Of
dealing with carpet-baggers and mill
tary satraps. He recently put to death
two hundred odd of them.
