their own Governments. 1t WAS left
for the people of those States to show
that they deserved the gift: The
peace should he kept by those to
whom peace was given. They that
asked Justice should do justice. Come
into Court with clean hands. 1t was
the duty Of the people of those States
to show that when their States were
given to them they were able and
willing to take care of them. Graf
itude and selfishness should have
alike prompted this gratitude for
their freedom from thralldom, and
the desire to keep it. All the citizens
of the Southern States, as we'll as all
the State Governments, should have
been paiustakiDg in the endeavor,
when left to themselves, to remove
all rational excuse for Federal inter
ference in their affairs. Every white
man was doubly bound to protect all
citizens in their rights, to maintain
the Amendments to the Constitution,
to keep the peace. A responsibility
rested and still rests on the State
Governments. When there was rea-
son to believe that there was disorder
or violence in any part of a Southern
State prior to the election, the Hamp'
tons and the Nichollses should have
summoned the entire militia force
under their command to suppress the
same, as they should now use all the
State authority to the punishment OF
those guilty of outragcs upon the
rights of citizenshlps. The duty OF
the Governments of the Southern
States in this matter, as of all the in
dividual citizens of the South, is plain
and imperative. Enforce the laws
Obey the Amendments. Keep the
peace. The accounts Of "outrages'
in the South have been grossly ex'
aggerated, and because of this cor:
tainty that they will DO exaggerated

T Colonel c. C. Jones, Jun, Loquitur.]
For the past we have no apologies
to offer, no excuses to render, no re-
grets to utter, save that we failed in
our high endeavor no tears to shed,
except over withercd hopes and the
graves of our departed worthless: We
yielded in the end, because We were
OVERCOME by superior numbers: and
weighticr munitions. Any pledges
given viii! 10 by us duly observed
but it is we'll known, alike by friend
and stranger, that nothing has been
absolutely determined except the
question of comparative strength.
The issue furnished only aphysical
solution Of the moral, social and po-
litical propositions involved in the
gigantic struggle. The sword. never
does, and never can compass, other
than forcible arbitrament in mat
tiers of conscience, principle and in
alienable right. Even now the fun
damental claims, the political priv
ileges, and the vested rights ip sup
port of which the Southern people
expended their blood and treasure,
are, in a molal point of view, unaf.
fected by the result of the contest.
This we confidently affirm in tho teeth
of tho practical and in many respects
lamontable consequences entailed by
the interventions of the ris major.
The necessity. was laid upon Us to
maintain our State sovereignty, homo
rule, honor, property and self-respect,
at the expense of wounds, desolation
and death. An appeal to arms in an
unequal strife and in a defensi 70 war
was all that was left to us. We &C.
cepted the issue. For four long and
bloody years were our entire man.

great battle for constitutional liberty
and self preservation. We failed,
but not until we had demonstrated to
ain expectant world that We esteemed
life less dear than honor, and that
we were al least not unworthy the

ties for which VIC contended.
The day will surely come--aye, its

Courier says:
"The recent elections in South Caro-,
lima and in every other Southern
State are evident that the white peo-
ple of the South, with the colored
people who arc their political allies,
are determined that they will never
again be robbed and oppressed as
this state was from 1863 to 1876. And
the elections are evidence that the
colored people, even where they have
the numerical majority, can not hold
their own against the superior intel
ligeDce, means and courage of the
whites. According to the Northern
papers, eighty thousand or ninety
thousand citizens (of African descent)
were disfranchised or :defrauded Of
their civil rights on that day. The
plain truth is that emancipation and
the suffrage cost the colored man
nothing, aud he will not make, for
the maintenance of his rights and
privileges the. sacrifices. cheerfully

ballot and the right of self-govern-
meut represent the results OF strug-
Cling for liberty for centuries. When
the two races come in conflict, wheth-
er in politics or in Industrial life, the
weaker race goes to the WALL This
is the philosophy Of the overthrow of
negro domination in the South. Mr..

negro the heart au,l brain and soul
of the white man. y. -. ,

Both Sides.

Cincinnati Enquirer. (Northern Dem.)
The South is not "solid," but it has
great temptations to be-. solid. The
white people of the South have seen
men who could neither read nor write
no matter what their color-control
elections, make laws, tax property
till property was given away to avoid
taxation, steal public funds almost
without limit, and beat back prosper
ity in every way from a land plead
ing for prosperity. The South has
been under the rule of adyentnrers
whose only purpose was public plum
der, and whose purpose was remorse'
lessly accomplished. The South has
sat beneath bayonets from Washing
ton that robbed free States Of free
government, that turned our Cover
nor and Legislatures at a bayonet's
pleasure, that subjugated States equal
to any beneath the flag. Taxation
and public thievihg made property
almost valueless, and the irksome and
indescribably repugnaht necessity
was imposed upon the people Of SOW:
