JUDGING By APPEARANCES

JUDGING By APPEARANCES
You should never Judge by ap
pearanees. The other day little
weazen-faced man wearing 9 50 o.

as from Texas, asked for a room
and if breakfast was on the table.
The Olympian clerk gazed at him
scornfiilly for moment, and Ian
guidly remarked, " Any baggage:

case,' said the clerk, =" the rules OF

said the guest, without hesitating
or appearing offended; stake two

beg your pardon stammered the
abashed clerk, 'but VIC are so

Course Of Another Radical
SANDER Arrested.
LOUISIANA INVESTIGATION.

or The many vile and shameful
efforts to blacken the Southern
character, by the infamous Radical
politicians, none have been baser,
or attempted a deeper debasement,
than that known as the "Eliza
Pinkst0ne' ease. This case was
OF so revolving character con-
tanning accusations against rcspec-
table representative citizens Of
such damning wickeiness and
beastly depravity, that II should
have required the clearest evidence,
to secure credence. In the exam.
ination before the Returning
Board, the evidence positively dis
credited, II not directly disprovcd
IT. Yet Senator Sherman and
Hayss's other sponsors spread and
sanctioned over their own names,
In an address to the President, this
disgusting aud horrible SANDER up
on q Southern community.
Now see the outcome of the
scene In which this dcpravcd me-
gro wcnch, Is used by the Radical
party rs an agent in the Presi,lcn.
tial election. A Senatorial Com
mittce presided over by as extreme
. partisan Ms Senator Howe, has
after thorough inquiry anihora-
lively stamped the lie upon the
'Elixa Pinkstone A" case. In the
N. o. Democrat account Of this
Investigation occurs the following:
"Senator Howe, the Chairman |
Of the Committee. arose and sng-
ycstcd to Senator Salisbury that
i was needless 10 examine any
more witnesses In the pinkston |
'asc; that II was entirely appar-
mt that nothing Eliza Pinkston
rad said or might say, was to bc
that her statements
'ould accuse no man, and that Il
vas needless to examine any more
Witnesses TO show hcr bad charac.
or and utter reliability.
In view Of such incidents ofrad.
caIlsm rs this Eliza Pinksion
ase, comprising a deliberate and
ystematic design TO sully and
make Infamous the reputation and
'ainc OF the Southern people; is it
my wonder that we have a South
old IN Its opposition to, and ab-
'orrcncc Of the very name of tho
ladical party ! At the same time

loves refusal to further this base
nd of his party. Tho rarity of
imple truth and manhood, by this
arty In its dealings with the South,
