THE HAMBURG MASSA GRE

Last week We published a telegraph
ic item in regard to the murder at
Hamburg, Georgia. The particulars
have since come to light and are SO
disgustingly oppressive of the colored
people, that even Democrats palliators
of Southern outrages, in Congress, en-
deavor to avoid reference to. They,
however, had to "toe the mark" on
Saturday, and listen to appeals for
justice and right, that made them
vince We give the particulars of the
massacre elsewhere, as we find 1t given
by the Cincinnati Gazette: In this
connection it is comforting to refer to
that part of Gov. Hayes letter of
acceptance, in which he refers to the
Southern condition, for in it we see a
guarantee of the civil rights of ali.
And when miscreants get up little re-
bellions of this character they will find
him as prompt to quell them and as
ineXorable in the enforcement of law, rs
he was during the Massillon Miners
War, which was SO quickly and effect
ually quelled few weeks ago. Read
what he says and then the account of
the massacre, and you will know how
he would act in the emergency:
The condition of the Southern States
attracts the attention and commands
the sympathy of the people of the
whole Union. In their progressive re-
covery from the effects ofthe war their
first necessity is an intelligent and
honest administration of government
which will protect all classes of citizens
in all their political and private rights.
What the South most needs is peace.
and peace depends upon the suprema-
cy of law. There can be no enduring
peace in the Constitutional rights of
any portion of the people are habitu-
ally disregarded. A division of polit-
ical parties, resting merely upon
DISTINCTION OF RACE,
or upon sectional lines, is always un-
fortunate, and may be disastrous. The
welfare of the South, alike with that
of every other part of the country
depends upon the attractions it can
offer to labor, to immigration, and to
capital, but laborers will not go, and
capital will not be ventured, where the
Constitution and the laws are Set at
defiance, and destruction, apprehen-
sion and alarm take the place of peace
loving and law abiding social life All
parts of the constitution are sacred
and must be sacredly observed, the
parts that are new no less than the
parts that are old. The moral and
material prosperity of the Southern
States can be most effectually advanc-
ed by a hearty and generous recogni-
ton of the rights of all, by all, re-
cognition without reserve or exception.

To the honest Germans of this coun-
try, who voted for Mr.. Greeley in 1872,
there must be a searching significance
in the series of open letters addressed
to MFR. Tilden in 1868. In those letters
Mr. Greeley called upon Mr.. Tilden in
the most solemn manner, in the name
of all his duties as citizen and a law
yer, to use his influence to stop the
disgraceful frauds of the Tammany
Democracy in the New York city elec-
tions. From Mr. Greeley's letter of
October 29th, let us extract a single
paragraph:
The matter to which l call your at
tention is vital to the very existence of
free, popular government. Whenever
it shall be generally understood that
the results of elections are not deter
mined by the bsAOts of legal voters,
but by fraud in Voting or frauds in
counting, then the event of avowed,
unequivocal despotis4 must be near at
hand. Between the rule of an En-
peror and the rule of a clique of ballot
box suffers, every intelligent man must
prefer the former as less rapacious and
more responsible. When honest citi-
zens shall avoid the polls, asking
''What is the use of voting! the result
is already fixed" the days of the Re
public will be numbered.
Mr.. Tilden, you cannot escape re-
sponsibility by saying, with the guilty
Macbeth:
Thou canst not say did 1t; never shake
Those CORY locks at me-"
FOR YOU WE'RE AT LRAsT A PASSIVE
ACCoMPLICE IN THE GIANT FRAUDS OF
LAST NOVEMBER.
Your name was used without public
|. protest on your part, in circulars sowed
broadcast over the State, whereof the
4 manifest intent was to make assur-
ance doubly sure" that the frauds here
perpetrated should not be overborne
by the honest vote of the rural districts.
And you, not merely by silence, but by
pOstttoe assumption, ha0e cooered those
frauds totth the mantle ofyoty respect
ability.
On the principle that ''the receiver
is as bad as the thief" YOU ARE AS
DEEPLY IMPLICATED IN THRM TO DAY
AS THOUGH YOUR NAME WAS TWEED,
O'BRIEN, OR OAKKY HALL.
And this is the kind of a Reform
candidate the Democracy present for
the suffrages Of the people. How do
you like him, honest Germansg

4 notice in another part of this pa
per announces the death in this citv,
yesterday, OF Mrs Helen <. Willis.
sister of Senator TwitchelI. OF Louisi-
ana Senator TwitchelI arrived here
a few days ago with his sister, on his
way 10 his former home in Vermont.
wLere he proposes 10 spend the sum
Iuer. Readers OF the Journal will re-
member him a. the gentleman who
was attacked about two months ago
while crossing Red river, and shot
through one leg and both arms, both
OF the latter having since been taken
OIL His sister, the lady Just deceased,
was at his house in Louisiana ar the
time Of the attempted assassination.
and was So shocked by the occurrence
that It was deemed necessary TO bring
her North As soon a. Senator Twiteh-
ell was sufficiently recovered from his
wounds TO be able TO travel he set out
with her for the North. Arriving in
this city they stopped at the house of
friend for the double purpose of ma
king visit and enabling the lady to
rally; but she took to her bed at once,
sank speedily, and yesterday died.
She was the last of four sisters, all of
whosa husbands have been killed in
louisiana for being Republicans, and
her death is directly traceable to the
terrible shock TO her system occasioned
by the recent attack on her brother.
She had never recovered from the
murder of her hrIsbai.d, some two
years ago or more, and this last shock
was fatal blow to her already shatter-
ed system. Senator Twitchell is now
the sole survivor of his family, who
went to Louisiana after the war, in
Guiding four sisters, four brothers-in-
law and two brothers. 1t is high time
the American people We're having re-
form.
