We have not space to furnish further ex-
tracts, showing the infamous proceedings of
radical carpet-baggers in South Carolina. 1t
should be remembered, however, that the
radical party throughout the country APP
plauded the devilishness of its representa-
tives in the south. Grant was ever ready to
give military aid for their protection,
and was willing, as in Louisiana. to
stab a legislature in the interest of
carpet-bag yillaipy. 1t is not surprising,
therefore, that southern whites and the bet
ter portion of the blacks determined to rid
themselves Of the carpetbag incubus and
regain something of the rights that belong
to civilized communities. That excuses
have in some instances. been committed
in these efforts to shake off the internal
gangs of thieves that radicalism had fastened
upon the south we are quite willing to
admit, but we are of the opinion that these
excuses have been mild compared to what
they would have been in any northern state
if subjected TO the same ordeal of rapine
and intimidation. 1t is these in
fernaI excuses, committed by carpet
baggers and approved by Grant
and the radical party, that has brought about
a "solid south" and had they been COM
mitted in the northern states ''solid north"
would have been as inevitable. These
| legitimate fruits of radicalism created the
| demand for reform which the people granted
in November. and which, if Tilden and Hen
bricks are not swindled out of their election,
will be inaugurated after the 4th of March.

Terrible Suffering OF German Colony In
Brazil.

The colonization of Brazil is not likely
t0 advance at q very rapid rate, Ii the
story related by Thomas Diller, who is
now at Castle Garden, is TO he believed.
He narrates the experience OF party of
Germans. who emmigrated in the Spring
of 1874 from Nuremburg 10 the colony of
TERRA del Gro. The cmmiersnts had
signed articles presented bya Brazilian
agent, who had stated that the colony
which be represented was in good order,
that the land was under cultivation, and
thai block houses had already been erect
ed In ibe coloDy. When the misguided
Germans reached the colony they found
Ii unculiivated, and in its place a wilder
ness filled with vipers, tigers, chattering
monkeys and parrots. A party of colon
ist who had preceded them were sick and
living in rude constructed huts, and many
had already died. The rain fell steadily
for three months after arrival. and over
400 died during the first month of their
residence in tie new colony, and be-
tween the fine of the arrival of OILERS
party in July, 1874, until it's departure in
the following December, $50 Ut the -000
coloDists died. Baron, of Bahia, sur
rounded the colony with a detachment of
800 police from Bahia, and prevented the
departure of those Immigrants who at
tempted TO escape. Several OF the mcr
were shot by the guard. but ultimately
four men succeeded in reaching Cuman-
dale. where julius Meyer, the Assistant
German Consul, resided and the latter,
after hearing the stories of the cruelties
practiced upon his unfortunate country
men, demanded that they should suffer no
further nolestation. Opposition by the
Brazilians ceased, and the Germans be.
gan to leave in crowds Some of them
came to this country, but the majority of
them returned to Europe.

The Painless Death.

In recent holiday lecture at the Roy
al Institution, Professor Tyndall, speak
ing If the painless death by electricity,
remarked that Franklin was twice struck
senseless by the shock. He afterwards
sent the discharge of two jars through
six robust men, who fell to the ground
and got up again without knowing what
had happened, neither hearing oi feeling
the discharge; and Pnestly. too. who
made many valuable contributions TO
electricity, received the discharge of two
Jars, but did not find il painful. Profess
sor TyDdall said this experience agreed
with his own, that in the theater Of the
Royal Institution, and in the presence OF
an audience, he once received the dis
charge of battery of fifteen Leyden
Jars Unlike Franklin's six men, he did
not fall, but like them he felt nothing; he
was simply extinguished for sensible in
terval. This may be regarded M an ex.
perimental proof that people killed BY
lightning suffer 10 pain. Now the meas.
ured velocity Of electricity Is many
thousand times greater thanthe measured
velocity Of sensation in the nerves
Hence the electrical conclusion reaches
| the center of life, without any possible
announcement by the eye or ear or sense
| Of feeling There ia abundant evidence
that death by rife ball traverslng thu
brain Ia for the same reason entirely
without consciousness or pain. A rife
ball. however, Is tortoise compared will

Julia Ward Howe aud indianapolis.

Letter In the oman's Jcurnsl
have received letter from an un.
known correspondent praying me to de-
ny the truth of the statements made
concerning me in an Indianapolis Journal,
and copied thence into sombe BOSTON pa
per, slip rom when last was duly en-
closed TO me. This slip states that a
part OF the audience attending my lecture
IN indianapolis manifested their disap-
polntment by mortifying behavior. This
rudeness on their part Is spoken of by
the " ritter as fit return for the rudeness
shown by me to an indianapolis lady 10
Washington more than eight years ago.
Now both OF these statements are un-
founded. MY audience in indianapolis,
though large, was not OF character to
show disrepect to lady lecturer, or TO
any other. IL was, on the contrary, a re-
markable polite and attentive concourse
OF people. and was so spoken of i'm the
rel orts at the time. The charge of rude
ness on a remote occasion made against
me is equally unfounded, the fact beng
that the lady from indianapolis was in
'roduced to me just as was on the point
vi leaving one party for another, at
which had promised to be present. The
hour was SO late and the weathe- so in
clement that Twas obliged TO go to my
carriage without loss of time. My es-
c0rt Was gentleman who spoke little or
no English, TO whom / signified in French
my readiness to depart. Hearing soon af-
ter that the person presented to me on
this occasion had misunderstood these
circumstances. requested mutual ac-
quainlance to explain them to her, and
received from him promise that he
would do so at once.
a truce to these tedious trihes. II
seems almost an impertinence to occupy
public attention with them, but it is per
haps greater disrepect to show such in
difference to the opinion of the public as
to take no heed of agencies which may
strongly prepossess it.
