THE LOST NEGRO.

1t has struck many thoughtful people,
tion and the subsequent returning board
excitements, no single case of negro
oppression, murder or persecution has
been reported even in the bitterest and
most unreasoning of the republican
papers. Even the litter Oc6u has lost
the poor negro in its later interest n
poor Lol Nowhere in the south is the
fierce mustached, bigspurred, broa.i'
brimmed ku-klux, who so delighted the
sprightly Mast with his bloody, black
instincts for negro gore, filling the land
with the shrieks of his struggling Eliza
Pinkstons and innocent HAMBURG
victims. As to Cainboy, why they
would absolutely faint at even the bare
mention of such thing. If northern
people will reflect, they will now arrive
at az correct ISOLATION of the prebIen
as the southern people did when the
tactics were first adopted. There is 8
changed situation, and our opinion is
| that Eliza Pinkston has won her lass r,
publican victory. Hereafter, no nor,
state or national elections will be car
