Evarts on the Rampage.

Secretary Evarts is preparing a
letter upon so-callod Southern out.
RACES, in which he will define the
position OF the administration, and
set forth the duties demanded of the
South. A recent lynching in Mis-
sissippi, in which the daughter Of the
offender was mortally wounded in
defending her father, will furnish
text for this pious homily. Other
lynching affairs will receive com.
mont, and possibly full dish of
Southern horrors will be presented.
Now, all this is we'll enough. No
ono deprecatos more than tho law
abiding people of South, the sporad-
ic deeds of violence occurring at long
intervals within her borders, and q
sharp reprimand from the State
department directed against lawless
and turbulent spirits will not be
amiss. But Secretary Evarts should
not stop hore in his self-imposed
task OF reformation. A modioum of
censure would not be out of place
noaror home. For every outrage
occurring in the South, a crime of
equal horror is chronicled in the
North. Fiftoon MOLLY NIaguires"

parties who were obnoxious to their
organization. Not moro than ten
days ago, sixty non-union workmen
were brutally poisoned in Illinois by
striking miners whose places they
had supplied. A few months since,
six Cinnamon were murdered in
Butte county, California, by So
cret society, their crime being solely
that they were Cinnamon and
worked for few cents less day
than the ratio established by Cauca-
sian laborers. Moreover, in the
pious communities of New England,
whore tho people thank God that
they are not rs other mon are, it is
not MI unusual thing for husbands
to stamp to death the women they
have previously sworn ut tho mar

Why Secretary Evarts should sin,
glo out tho people OF tho South who
have been taught by the outrageous
legislation of his own party to rely
upon themselves for redress of in
juries, while, like tho priest and
Levite Of old, he passes by those
who have been set upon and foully
"ronged in the highways near his
own home, is question that others
must answer. To the people of this
section it is but the manifestation Of
spirit of unfairness either on the
part of tho Secretary himself, or of
tho Northern people, to whose big
otry and fanaticism he must pander
III order to retain popularity.
We had fondly hoped that the
removal OF tho troops from the
Southern state houses had put IN
end to the cry Of negro persecution.

not take any consideration for the
three years Of his life when he
settled down in the immortal county
of Dearborn, town of Lawrenceburg,
in Indiana, where he was paid at
the rate of $400 q year. With 5000
of that money he came East and got
married. After he md his wife re-
turned to Indiana they lived in two
rooms. What furniture they had
was given to them and, continued
Mr.. Beecher, 'If I was put upon my
confession, I should say that I wore
Judge Burke's clothing" The
clergyman somewhat hr,morously
described the home and his battle
tor life, and feelingly added !:
"When look back to those happy
years, 1 wouldn't part with them
for untold gold" He continued
that it was great mistake for young
people to imagine that they must
defer marriage until they might
secure wealth.
