Cancellation in the SOuth-How It has
Effected the Utteranees sfthe Press.

We present below few extracts
from leading Southern papers, just to
show what they think about the mat
ter. The Vicksburg Herald don't like
the way northern papers have been
punching them up on the Chisholm
massacre; so it says: ...
''The people of this State vino con-
! troll It's political destinies are bitterly
opposed to any and all violations of the
law, but they are determined that it is
our business to redress wrongs in this
State
And the Okolona SpItheTp States,
aids its vindictiveness:
Talk of the Kemper county out
rage. Was that anything When COLL
pared to the murders. and burning,
aud devilish outrages of every eharac-
ter and description that you visited
upon US while the civil war was in
progress2 Down, down on your knees
you wretehes, pray God to forgive
yonr atrocities before you dare to re-
buke ms for anything. We have had
just about enough of this tigerish in
terferance on your part
A correspondent of the Yazoo Her
aid, on the same subject, writes:
1t is high time that some people in
Mississippi were learning the lesson,
written in Kemper in lines of blood,
that the tyrant and the traitor will
sooner or later, be overtaken by ~
frightful retribution, and that all who
are partisians and mourners. of snoh
are but biding their time
And the Meridian Nercusy grows vir-
tuous over the outrage:
sFrom all accounts we estimate
there were SEQ to 400 men. Every
man of these was equally a principal ia
the murder, If murder was committed,
with any other man. Besides this,
nearly every adult white man in tile
county who was not present is resolv
ed to stand by those who were there,
and approve them as good and true
citizens, and not criminals"
And another organ grows enthus
iastically high minded when it says:
whenever Boston can prevent the
sections of her leading churches from
carrying little innocent girls up into
the belfries and numbering them, and
restrain her Pomeroys from cutting
the throat of babes indescriminately
for the mere pleasure of seeing them
die, it will do for the Journal to read
Mississippi homilies on civilization
And another justiffes the outrage,
commends the murderers, and is ready
to return thanks:
'sThe fact is it is "A wonder that CHS
holm and Gilmor were allowed to live
as long as they did. If there ever was
time when forbearance had ceased
to- be virtue, it was with the good
people of Kemper county"
Dismissing this phase of consolidation
let us see what they think of its author
The Southern States expresses itself:
'R. b. Hayes is the worst enemy
the Southern people ever had. He is
crowded into a corner just now, is the
reason he is silent Hayesl Why, the
name il the embodiment of all that is
bcrrible 10 Yankeedom.~
The editor of the hoseiuse" No. Bo-
evidently had dose of ths .,~~ enc
Ill. Hear higI:
..For the crime 0. receiving ths F1e.
ideney from the hands of political
thieves, the American people should
never forget Mr.. Hayes, and the Press
should not let the subject sleep until
the stain is wiped from our National
escutcheon by an overwhelming Dem
ocratic triumph. To make war OH
him, for this we regard as both proper
aud patriotic.
And mark the sweet spirit of appre
citation which breathes through the
last few lines of the following extract
from the Winona Free Press:
1.-TWO cars of the northern bound
passenger train On Thursday morning
were filled with the troops from New
Orleans, en- route for Leavenworth,
Kan. We will be glad when the last
momeDto of our wrongs, ,sufferings and
oppression shall be put beyond our
sight. Then, and not until then, can
we breath the pure air of freedom,
and feel that the glorious deed of
& Liant people is 10 longer thrown
back upon them as q reproaeh and III
suit by the dGjtsTd hard OF a section,
who, though they could not conquer.
Lad the numbers TO overcome them
And the Yazoo Herald thus remorse-
Iessly strikes down the hopes whereon
Stanley Mathews buiIded, when he
sold the party which had triumphed
riyhteously to John Youngs Brown ana
General Gordon:
''The Democratic party has done too
much for the South to be abandoned
now for any false god that may be-
made by the hand OF Hayes, or for any
foolish organization that may be at
tempted 10 be resurrected in the name
of the old Wing Party. Let the South
stand faithfully by the party that has
accomplished her redemption"
And she will
