Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1877-05-30

THE National Democrat caused its
semi-occasional editorial to bud and
burst last week while attempting to
ridicule the Madison Democrat for so
frankly giving an independent opin-
ion of the late Mississippi barbarity.
Our neighbor would seem to infer
that It was but just that Judge Chi
solm, or any other Republican, who
would insist on enjoying and ex-
pressing opinion in a Democratic
stronghold, should be murdered in
as brutal a manner as possible. Here
is what it manufactured
"The Madison Democratlately few
"oh the handle again. Taking as a
text the lynching Of the notorious
"pully and partizan, Judge Chisolm,
"(who had for number Of years
Outraged quiet community by his
infamous deeds, arising from per-
"sonal and political feuds,) that pa
"per INDUCES in an insane fanfaron-
"ade against the Democratic party Of
mississippi. 1t is just that kind Of
"madness which has kept iuhamed
"the otherwise peaceable members
"ol the Republican party
And all this because the Madison
paper of the same party, but purer
principles, condemn tho outrage as
follows:
We should indorse il all, if Mr. Hayes
should send the army into Mississippi and
transfer Governor Stone from the Executive
ONCE to the State Prison, and rule the State
with the iron heel OF the military FOR the rest
of his term Of ONCE, ard hang every Missis,
sippian who niumured AT the treatment. We
do not blame Republican newspapers for cry
ing out against such brulai-did we say
brutal We ask the WhOls brute creation 10
forgice us--fieudish outrage. We hope the
Republican press viii force Mr.. Hayes to take
possession Oh the state Of Mississippi and put
q guard Of soldiers over every mau IN w. The
officials of ihat State should have prevented
such an outrage, and having failed 10 do SO,
they deserve 10 bc transferred 10 prison and
kept there with federal bayouets
The administration liza, given the people Of
the south ail they asked. The army has been
Withdrawn with The express understanding
that outwges and murders were TO cease. II
they ARE not going to cease, let the curse Of
crime rest upon their guilty heads. The muir
der OF Judge Chlson was without any cN-
Cusc, not L. speak OF the hendishness Of the
murder Of hs son and daughter, which for
huurtiC--uess and Wckrducss would have made
the blood of John d. Lee curdc in ten min
utcs after he had cut the Threats Of all the ia.
