gether with the witnesses for the
prosecution, for a hearing before the
United States Court. The United
States Marshal is determined to use
every effort to protect Republicans
from outrages, whenever he can do
50 but he has a difficult task to per
form, as the moral influence of the
community, the entire machinery of
the State government and the train
ed organization of the Democracy
are against him."
The writer further SAYS: "As soon
as the Deputy Marshal arrested a
man at Sumter on Saturday last for
violation of section $500 Revised
Statutes, retaliatOry measures were
promptly adopted by the Democrats,
and leading white Republican was
arrested upon the charge of melting
to riot, Unless some compromise is
made to suspend all prosecutions the
Republican Will certainly be con-
vlcted. a Republican, in case like
this, has not the slightest showing
for justice in the State courts ofSouth
Carolina"
In consequence of the foregoing
and other inform elton he has receiv-
ed, the Attorney General Yesterday
issued new and positive instructions
to the United States Marshal and
District Attorney in South Carolina
in reference to the laWlessness pre-
vailing in certain sections Of that
State. The United States officials in
Louisiana were also directed to in
vestigtte the outrages recently re
ported to have occurred in Tensas
and other parishes, and make full
report at once.
Leading Northern Democrats are
said to be greatly exercised at the
renewal of political trouble in the
South, not because they sympathize
with the outraged black, but on ac-
count Of the bad effect these murders
and rbts always have upon public
sentiment at the North.
1t i.stated by reliable authorities
that Urgent appeals have been made
to Hampton, Nichols and other
Southern leaders by prominent
Northern Democrats not to permit
this lavlessness to continue. unless
they desire to defeat the party in
several Northern States where there
is at present every indication of
success.
a TRIBUTE TO NORTHERN GENER-
0SITY.
NASHVILLE, TENN, October 21.-
The Democrats Of the Sixth district
Of Tennessee unanimously renomina-
ted Hon. John ii. House for Con
gress. Mr.. House, in a speech &C
knoWledging the compliment, said:
SIN the next contest between the
two great parties they will divide
upon governmental policy and with
out sectional animOsity. Sectional
hatred will be eliminated from the
contest. So far as the south is con
cerned, [ am certain that such will
be the case. | cannot find it in my
heart to indulge in feelings Of malice
towards the people Of the North
when | witness their magnanimOus
and generous conduct towards the
Southern people. | feel like pulling
off my hat and standing uncovered
in their presence. Oh, grander than
the victory of the AppamattoX is the
victory won by the people of the
/ North in their noble and generous
contributions to the stricken and suf-
fering South. Upon that fated field
/ the South surrendered her sword.
/ Within the shadow of the dark wing
/ of pestience, beside the made
1 graves of her heroic sons and daught-
ers, with bowed head and fearful
eyes. she extends her hands and sur
renders her heart to the generous
and magnanimous North. Gods
own hand has bridged the bloody
chasm. Let not the ambition of man
seek to reopen the wounds, and to
rekindle the embers of sectional
strife. Let us 60 into this great con-
test of 1880 without any of these ele'
ments of sectional bitterness"
