THE ERA OF GOOD FEELING.

Either the Republican party as represented
IN Congress is an aggregation of the mos
shameless liars since the days of Ananias anc
Sapphire, or there is a great deal of truth in
the MORNING APPEALS Kuklux library. II
NAV as well be stated here that this office is
admirably provided with the literature of the
''BlOOdy Shirt. The official reports of in
vestigatons of Kuklux outrages in Arkansas,
| Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and the Caro-
linas are at our hand Have we burdened
the readers of the APPEAL with many and
| tiresome extracts from these volumes No.
We have not even opened them for months.
We choose, rather, to deal with gentler
themes. Indignation and hot temper come
pair the digestion. We choose, mainly, lazily
to Gull life sweets, ignoring its diseases, its
crimes, its diabolisms and its violences. Not
| one word, yet, in these peaceful columns con
cernngFthe Chisholm murders in Mississippi
Let the barbarians bury the victims of their
halharity, Let Hayes content himself for his
tenderness toward assassination as a factor in
American politics by requesting his quibbling
law doctor, Evarts, to write rebuke to the
Governor of Mississippi. The era of good
feeling has reached down into the Parish of
East FeIiciana, and black John Laws is dead
with kuklux bullet hole through his body

facts of the killing of John Laws Deceased
was Republican member of the Legislature
a prominent, intelligent, industrious colored
man. His crime was having testified before
the Senate committee last January against the
bull-dosers All the colored men who testi-
fed before that committee will meet the same
fate Governor Nichols is powerless to pro
tect them. Two influential Postmasters were
run out Of the parish of Fehciana last week,
and no action has been taken in the matter.
Now let US not be impatient. Let us give
Hayes policy good fair chance, Let us be
led, gently, by the tender hands of Stanley
Matthews and guided by the better instincts
of Lamar and Nichols and Wade Hampton
Do Black Republicans continue to read Do
they see what a dead and decaying party
theirs is Up to date-during the almost
three months since Hayes was inaugurated-
the party has not had the vigor and the cour-
age to fight against the administering, by COW
ard hands, of a slow and deadly poison The
nslncenties of Blaine are nothing; the palter-
ing of peace hunting statesmen is nothing;
but the direfullest phenomena of all Is the
stunned and bewildered condition Of the rank
and file Of the party. This party which was
strong enough to carry the North, hes down
idly and sees this eunuch-ike policy of a hucl
steering President rot its organization and sap
its vitality as with gangrene. The only
voice raised In protest, vet, is Philipss 5. And
all the commercial press of the country is
busy swearing away his sanity. John Laws
crime is Repubhcanism and our Sinking |
fraud Of a President shuts his goodish eyes
and folds his goodish hands and drivels of the |
Era of Cancellation He has to do it He |
)artered away his right to raise a hand to |
protect the black men who elected him when |
lis agents made the terms of his counting-in .

1e answered is, Has the North spirit enough
md honesty of self-assertion enough to repu-
liate this Ohio pusiIlanimity and set its face
gainst the licensed murder of Southern Re
