Bull Doing "A Comprehensive Deflni.
ton Of the Term.
New Orleans Cor. Cincinnati Times. ]

The word here in this muddle is "Bull-
dozed.' see some Northern papers per-
sist in printing 1t Bull dogged.' The
Bull-dozers are organized and armed bands
Of assassins and robbers, who ride about
the country by night, killing innocent peo-
pie and spreading terrorism among the
Republican negroes. The Bull.dozers are
successors to the KukluX, the White
League. the White Liners, and other simi-
lar organizations. 1t is to hese ruifians
that Louisiana owes her sad condition to-
day. Two or three of these bands Of from
thirty to sixty men, in each parish, have
driven the Republicans into the swamp in
five different parishes, and manipulated the
ballot. boxes to suit themselves In the inter-
est OF Tilden and reform. So we find par
ishes that have for years given an over
whelming Republican majority, and which
are annually Republican, to-day reported
without a { dozen Republican votes. For in
stance, East Feliciana, one Of the bull-dozed
parishes, in 1872 gave a Republican majority
OF 1,037, and has twice since given as heavy
majority for that party. This year it was
overrun by ~bull-dozers and half q dozen men
shot, among them the Sheriff, deliberately
murdered. The negroes were all frightened
away from the polls, and this year not a sim
gle, solitary vote was cast for the Republic
can ticket. The fact needs no comment.
This is but one OF many such instances.
Let any reasoning man read the following
table, and study it carefully lit will repay
it). and then dare say the charges Of bull
doing and terrorism are untrue:

The most apprehensive fearsf How much
more would there be such q conclusion "
Illinois had been for four years in armed re.
bellion against national authority because OF
refusal 10 submit to the election Of Abraham
Lincoln; II the Democracy therein had nev-
err since been quiet and peaceable. nor sub.
ordinate TO State authority; II Chicago had
been the center Of many murderous riots,
altogether political In character; II Repub.
lican Senator'S. Representatives, Sherifs,
Constables, Judges and other local officers
had, from time TO time, been assassinated
or driven away In various counties; II ter
rorism, prescription, ostracism, intimida.
ton and violence had been progressive and
intensifying tendencies for n decade; and II
there seemed no power sny where to repress
these lawless manifestations Yet such Is
the status Of Louisiana, and also OF South
Carolina and Florida, only In a less degree.
These are the facts which give a peculiar
Significance to the threats that are made,
and raise them above the level OF intemper-
ate and inrammatory, yet ePhemeral' out
1t is never needfui to mass troops to keep
down merely transitory or sporadic ebulli-
lions OF high wrought feelings. These al
ways quickly subside and disappear. Those
In the South are Of a deep.seated, perma.
nent character. The necessary presence Of
considerable numbers OF soldiers N those
States to preserve the peace there sufficient
ly attests that. Their presence Is equiya-
lent to an official declaration that their
withdrawal would %inaugurate q reign Of
turbulence and violence. Unfortunately,
the military arm Is essential to C o
legal and regular announcement Of the voted
will OF the people. .
This gravity Of the situation Is not at all
due to the Republicans, who throughout
have manifested a law.abidiDg spirit. Only
Democrats are responsible. They alone
have stirred up %strife; they alone
have ambuscaded law and order; they
alone have %punctuated the future with
threats. Let us be thankful, therefore,
that the country has made its narrow es-
cape from falling under the control Of a
party SO insanely voracious Of authority, so
turbulent and subordinate under defeat, so
manifestly unworthy to rule. Whatever
real dangers may Turk behind the wordy
threats Of its leaders will be lessened by the
fact that Grant Is President, and that Hayes,
not Tilden, is to be. All good citizens must
feel that. And, considering the course o
events since the 18th OF November, we are
satisfied that the election would 20 over.
whelmingly against the Democratic candi'
dates, ut least In every Northern State, were
it to be held over again tomorrow. il
must be evident by this time that the cou
try can be safe and at repose only in tn,
hands Of the Republican party. :

Is There Danger


lIhlchgO lnter. Ocean.J
No one who carefully surveys the political
situation in the South can fail to see that
there is a deep pndercurrent Of positive
dangerous meaning In the many and various
threats which have been made. Such scenes
rs are now being enacted In Florida, South
Carolina, and Louisiana, could not take
place In any Northern State. Imagine the
Republicans In five counties of Illinois
huinbled into terrified submission to whole
sale frauds on election day, and generally
inundated from approaching the polls;
imagine the Democracy OF these and OF the
other counties united In q fierce, imperlous
demand that the fraudulent returns shall be
counted AZ a part OF the fair and legitimate
vote, even though they should decide both
the State and the Presidential contest; and
imagine the presence Of national
troops and Of the second highest officer OF
the army needful to repress revolutionary
violence and 10 protect the local authori-
In the performance Of their legally Inn
duties. Who can imagine such a
condition OF affairs as applicable to Illinois
feeling convinced that an
emergency had arisen which foreboded
the most serious consequences and justified

B"ULL.DOZED PARISHES.
ORIGIN OF A II

Perhaps, Just here, it will not be amiss
to explain the origin OF this new term of
''Bull.dozer.' 1t originated in MISSISSIPPI
pi. The ''black-snake" whip that team
sters use upon their oxen or mules is called
there by a compound word, the first Of
which is ''Bull's.' 1t is abbreviated TO
''Bull,' and the whip called Il ''bull.'
Whipping an obstinate animal or ''nigger'
with it was called giving the animal or
..nirtor,' a dose % Tho quill, or bulls dose.
The KukluX and White League used that
instrument to beat Republicanism out of
the negroes, and oblige them to vote the
Democratic ticket, or keep away from the
polls. Hence the name for these bands OF
rowing scoundrels, "Bull-dozers,' or
''Bull-dosers.' They pronounce it
"Bull-doozers' here. This is the real and
only origin Of the term, and the name is
very significant and appropriate, as many
a negro with Il Scared back can testify.

The New York Sun of the 23d, in an
article in reference to the St. Louis
Whisky Ring, publishes what purports
to be a copy Of an Endorsement by
President Grant on a letter from Joyce
to Avery, asking for information as to
certain Investigations then pending,
which reads as follows: "Joycc and
Mcdonald are reliable and trustworthy.
Let them have the information they
want. U. S. Grant" A Washington
dispatch says that the President pro-
ounces the Endorsement utterly false,
adding that IL there be any thing in
an unblushing forgery.
