SOUTHERN OUTRAGEs.
In his forthcoming message the Presi-
will make the reported outrages aud viola.
tions in The South during the late Congress.
sional elections a prominent feature of CON-
| ment. These violations will be condemned
| as forcibly depriving large number of citi-
zens in specified localities of the rights con-
fered both by the national and State authori-
ties, thus preventing results expressive of
their will in the administration of pubic af-
fairs. Such proceedings will BE- further de-
precated, because they indicate that pacifca.
ton of the South is not yet complete, and be-
cause they cast rcproach upon and endanger
the integrity OF free institutions. The sub
ject will be earnestly presented to the con-
! sideratiOn Of Congress for such action rs the
circumstances demand, with view to pre-
venting the recurrence of such wrongs and to
secure the absolute exercise of the right OF
suffrage.
