oUTRAGEs ON UNION MEN IN TENNEs-
SEE AND NORTH CAROLINA.

We would gladly bury the ''bloody shirt"
forever, and see the country united fraternally
in one common bond of col-fellowsbip, with
one common aim, the success and glory of our
common country. But the Democrats North
and the Contederates South are not willing to
have 1t so, and hence the revival of old memo
ries. The blessings of slavery all Injured to
the slaves, the curses came to the whites.
Slavery sectionalized the country, and erected
a barrier against the free intercourse of the
people. OWN; 20 It's cXclUSiyeness, it pro-
gressed further than any other part of the
country towards developing a type of m&p-
kind, and that type in the likeness of the insti-
tuition of slavery, with all its educational
biases. From Virginia to Kentucky, to Ten
nessee, to Missouri, 10 Kansas, to the Rocky
Mountains, to the Western boundaries of the
continent, the F. F. V.'s could be traced by
their physiognomies and physiologies. Des-
potism and cruelty are the inevitable results of
the long-continued exercise of arbitrary power.
This brings out the worst traits of human
character and capacity. 1t makes men selfish
and cruel. To this are We to look for the
atrocities perpstrated on Union men and prison.
ers of war during the late rebellion. To the
educational influences of slavery are we to
look for the character of the people with whom
we have to deal in political contests and the
reconstruction of our Government on the
grand basis of natural justice and civil equity.
They are just what they have been made, and
until the results of hundreds of years of false
education are outwrought by other and better
teachings, we shall still have to deal with
these people as they are and have been made.
To this are we 10 look for the atrocities of the
war, the outrages of the present time and the
reluctance with which they submit to the fate
of defeat, the loss of caste and the new condi-
tions of life and society.
From the life and adventures of Colonel D.
Ellis, Union guide, we gather the following
weIl-authenticated facts:
Fire and sword were the instruments en-
ployed to force Union men into the rebel army
or punish them for refusing to go. Old men,
women and children were ruthessly butchered,
their money taken and property destroyed.
These outrages were largely perpetrated by
f'home guards" and many of them on neigh
bors and acquaintance. And. J. Wood was
murdered by squad of Col. Vance's men,
commanded by Landor A. Ellis, because he
would not take the oath of allegiance to the
Confederate government. He was the first
victim in Carter county, Tenn, Dec. IL, 1861.
Joseph Murphy was shot and stripped before
he was dead, March %, 1865. J, TAYLOR, S.
Latum, A. Kerte, N. Dugger, d. Sheffield, of
johnson county, Tenn, were murdered by the
home guards because they would not go into

IT APPEARS thst the South Carolina
Democrats mean war to the knife and the
knife to the hilt. From one end of the
State to the other they have organized
themselves into rife clubs, fully officered
from general commanding down to third
corporal. Once week they meet for drill
at their respective company rendezvous,
and it is on these occasions that the Stat,
rights gentlemen make their appe lrance
and vent their spleen against the hated
Yankee nation" The lying Associated
Press at Charleston has circulated the re-
poIt that the white were armed only with
pistols and fowling-piccee, while the
negro-s carried Remington, Sharpe aud
other superior aims. Tne facts are that
the blacks are without arms they having
been di.armed several months ago, while
the whites are fully as well equipped as
they were when serving the Lost Cause.
This preparation of the South Carolina
Ku Klux is by no mems local, but ex-
tends down to Colleton, Beaufort and other
Southern counties which heretofore have
been noted for their pcaceiulness and llrge
Republican majorities. This only goes to
pICVe how far-reaching is the sinister

ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC REFoRMER.-
This time it is not Tilden, but DorSheimer,
candidate for Lieutenant Governor of New
York. He was district attorney at one
time, and had coed opportunity to display
his reformatory instincts, now blooming
beautifully. He succeeded in charging for
a Vast emount of work never done, and
twice for work really done. For less than
700 miles OF travel he charged and was paid
for 2, ,46S, or three and half times. On
one occasion he swOre TO bill of $607, so
palpably fraudulent tina: the Government
dieallOwed it. His oath SETS forth that the
travel was actually aud necessarily per
foImed as therein stated" " when it was not
so performed. TIE question arises, with
rebel reform candidate for President, who
will swear falsely and steal, and cIudi-
date for Lieutenant Governor of the first
State in the Union, who will do the same
thing, how long will it take to bring about
honesty and economy in public affairs? We
ask the question, and refer it to the Day
of Judgment for answer.

For NEARLY century the South was
sllowed to continue in ignorance. She
built Chinese wall around her territory
so broad that horsemen and chariots could
travel upon it abreast. Her willy and un-
scrupulous leaders encouraged the worst
classes to tar-and- feather, and otherwise
abuse Northern teachers who went there
to impart to the blacks and poor whites the
simplest rudiments of education, and the
result was that the great masses we're al
lowed to remain in the most abject and
squalid ignorance. As the legitimate
fruits of such policy came the war of the
rebellion with all its horrors, saddling an
enormous dsbt upon the country, and fill
ing the land with tragedy. Must the South
be allowed to continue in her ignorance,
and again become the prey of her unsCru-
pulous and desperately wicked leaders, or
shall the General Government attempt the
practicable task of educlting her masses to
the end that virtue and intelligence may
prevail, and Southern cOmmuaities thus
permitted to enjoy republican forms of
government vouchsafed by the COnstitu-
ton?

WE INUoKSE fully the sentiment ex-
pressed by "WolveIi1e," in another
column, that the Republicans of the
Thirty frsa Congressional district of New
York should at once heal their disSensions
by requiring the Withdrawal OF the clndf-
date of the boilers, Mr.. Flagler, aud unite
promptly and man5ully for the reelection
of Mr.. Haskins. the present Representative
5 from that district. Boiling is unrepub-
Hcan. Mr. HaskiDs has served two terms
with great credit TO himself and is now
just in the prime of usefulness. He has the
reputation Of being one of the best presid-
ing officers in the House. He is gentle
man Of fine abilities and character, quick,
ready debater, and 8 superior parliamenta-
rian, and with the loss of such men as
Blaine, Wheeler, Hoar and others from the
next House, neither the Republicans OF the
Thirty first New York nor any other district
can afford 10 take any chances on the next
House of Representatives, especially in
favor Of a ''bolter." Close up the ranks.
National Republican., 1876-09-25

AT THE CLOSE ofthe war the people ofthe
North, through their representatives in Con-
gress, conferred the ballot upon four mil
lions of ex-slaves of the South. Wade
Hampton and men of his ilk now declare
that such action was revolutionary, null
and void, and must be abrogated by open
warfare against the blacks. Can the GOV
ernmeut stand idly by and see these people
sacrificed, or will it teach Hampton, Vance
& Co. that they have gone far enough aud
must take the consequence if they persist
in gong farther?

''NoMoRE MONEY fOr election purposes"
is the stereotypcd reply which Gov. Tiiden
now makes to hungry Democratic poltti
clans, who thought they had struck b.
nanzi when tney placed Sammy at the he ID
Of their ticket. Perhaps the Governors
experience with the "barrels of money" in
Maine and Vermont is what has impelled
him 10 shut dOwa' upon his hungry fol-
lowers, who want to fill up al his expense.

EDITORIAL POSTSCRIPT,


Judge Little, Owensboro', KY, at a club
meeting, said he "admired the Northern Dem
ocrats who have stood no nobly for their
[white] couutrymen, [South.l He always
felt like taking off his hat to them" Without
the North they can do nothing. The solid
South can't save. The blacks are lost and
uncounted political element. They will soon
make themselves felt.
The great explosion at He'll Gate has taken
place and nobody was hurt. While the spec
tacle of the great body of water rising four or
five feet from its level and then Bursting into
foam, with the black smoke issuing from it,
must have been grand one, the report was
not heard or the conclusion felt at q compare
lively short distance from the place. The
views of Gen. Newton were fully sustained,
and even the measures which he suggested as
precautionary were not found to have been
necessary. This great triumph of engineering
) skill reflects great credit upon the engineer
corps, and especially upon Gen. Newton, who
had the work especially in charge. The change
in the currents even before the debris is cleared
away, shows the efficiency of the undertaking.
The story of yellow fever at Brunswick, Ca,
is perfectly appalling, exceeding even the
worst stories of the plag le of former days. 1t
seems as if there must be some mistake about
it, for it is hardly credible that the first an
nouncement should te that over one fourth of
all the people in The place should be victims
to the scourge. By the last cersrs the popu-
lation of Brunswick was 2,343, and we have
the startling intelligence from the Associated
Press agent and again through dispatch
from the mayor asking aid of the Howard As
sociation. The yellow fever at Savannah
seems to be on the increase, while It has also
broken out at Charleston and with such terri
bic violence at Brunswick. 1t is more than
visited.

IT Is NOT generally known that JEFF
Davis is very supersLitous. In a recent
letter to a prominent Democratic politician
he says that Tllden will certainly be elected,

SINGULAR MALP,RN ,TIoS.-Caief
N tclmz told us yesterday at re-
II, ,rkable case of hum IN m ,Harm,-
Vi ~ develop d IL the vicii.it, of Vir-
g,nia one d,v this week. A Piuts
squaw gave birth To- her first child,
and WAS Mortified ut Ending it half
dog aud half human. From the hips
down the human shape was perfect,
but the remainder bore q closer re-
semblance to . dog than to anything
else. The mouth was where the left
ear should have been, the eyes were
entirely wanting, no arms at all were
present, the head and breast were
unshspely, and the whole combina-
ton, according to the minute descrip-
ton of our informant, was most pain
full to behold. The child was alive
when bora, but the mother soon after
disposed of it in an old shaft.
Natchez told this story with bated
breath, and seemed to think it con-
veyed bad omen to his tribe. He
said the like had never been knowl
before among his people. When the
two similar cases recently reported
from California-one from Los An
geles-were told to him he seemed to
attach less significance to the event.
He said, how ever, that it was deplora-
ble enough to have half white chill
dren born into his tribe, but when SO
striking AN evidence of reversion to
degraded ancestors "a tacit admis-
sion of the Darwinan theory that in
advertedly escaped the Chiefs lips

Circus CoMINa.-The bills and
posters of the circus company, ad-
vertised to appear in Virginia short
lv, attract gaping crowd of chill
dren wherever they are posted up.
The young folks arc already making
arrangements to raise the necessary
money. The Indians are attracted
by the high colored pictures of the
animals to be exhibited. We SAW u
crowd of them yesterday surround
ing a representation of wild bore
and converting in serious tones upon
it. A picture Of a South American
Lama attracted their attention very
greatly. 1t occurred to our mind
while CHANGING at the same picture
that those animals might be raised
proftably in California. Their skins
make excellent robes, md they bear
light burdens as we'll as the horse or
the ass. The South American In-
dams in the time of Pizaro had no
other beasts of burden, and had
large herds Of them domestica'ed.

much the same 81 the goat does, but
