Mr.. EvARTs was somewhat bgoted and
arbitrary In his statement Of the relations be.
tween whites and blacks In the South. lie
knows nothing about them but he was com.
PEELED, Tor the sake Of his own popularity
among a prcJudiccd party, to speak to the
disadvantage Of the Southern whites. He
knew they would have no friends In the
audience he addressed, and verified the adago
that the absent are always wrongod.-Rich-
nsond DiSpGtch,
Mr. EvARTs was in New York to discuss
the rights of citizenship which are not de-
fined by color line or birth. With the
social relations that exist In the South be.
tween whites and blacks Mr.. EvARTs had
nothing to do. Those belong peculiarly to
those people who arc endeavoring to live
together in that section of the country, and
no one outside OF them has uuy right to
Interfere But when a man, be he black or
white native or foreign born, is baptized
into citizenship In the Constitution Of the
United States, he ceases to DO distinguished
by any other mark He is entitled to all
tho rights and privileges that the COnstitu-
ton has power TO confer and If these were
respected 10 tho South as they are at the
North there would bo no want Of harmony
sectionalIy. We should DO friends under
tho legitimate differences sf political

TO REGAIN THE LOST SOUTH.

When LAMAR, GORDON x Co. were last
entertained In Boston by their sycOphantic
Democratic friends of New England this
journal had occasion to remark in effect
that their protestations of nOn-sectonal
patriotism were false beyond measure
Some of the New England newspapers an
swcrcd this criticism sharply, and claimed
that our acknowledged BloOdy-Shirt preju-
dces had got the better of our Judgment.
We refer to the matter now, in view of the
fact that these same newspapers have dis
covered the duplicity of HAMPTON and his
rine-club partisaus in South Carolina, to
explain that both LAMAR and GORDON,
especially the former, are products Of the
same kind Of political terrorism that now
exists in the Palmetto State. There is not
a letter, figure, or mark in the commission
by which LAMAR holds his seat in the
Senate that is not stained by the blood of
not one, but hundreds, of murdered Ameri-
can citizens He Is a political out
growth OF such soul-sickening atroci-
ties az the CHISHOLM massacre and the
assassinations In Kinds and other neigh
boring counties in Mississippi, which pre-
ccded his election in 1870 And JOHN B.

porteur that he is, was LAMAR's active ad-
wiser and heipmate in that bloody campaign

| by being allowed to retain their seats in th'
Senate shows TO what abject degradation
the sham Cancellation Of 1872 and subse
quent years, including the sentimental gusl
of 1876, has brought this country.
But the time is not far distant when thu
eternal justice of equal rights before the Law
will be rensserted. The North, as we hav
seen, is being aroused by HAMPTON's mur
derous treachery to full appreciation
of the truth regarding the SOutherl
States, and the much-derided Disciples o
the Bloody Shirt have at last got access t.

THE Southern Bourbons have usurped
through blood and terrorism the strongholds
OF Republicanism In the South. They have,
In short, wrcsted the balance of power in
the government from the hands of its loyal
friends With the increased representation
given to that section by the constitutional
amendments they stand ready to-day to
override the entire country aud establish
within the Union the principles they failed
to establish in their rebellious struggle out
side of 1t, These facts were never more ap-
parent than they are now, and never more
clearly appreciated by the Northern people.
So true is this, that the idea Of meeting

but no fhir-minded man will deny that he
is already entitled to his seat under the
plain provisions of the constitution Of the
State. If the Democrats attempt, in the Or
ganisation Of the next House, to override
this plain provision, their act would be
revolutionary, and If the loyal integrity of
the North has not altogether departed, 1t
would be met with the most positive
demonstrations of vigorous opposition.

EX-CoNGREssMAN J. HALE SYPHER, of

known that he is not the SYPHER who was
engaged during the last session of Congress
as the attorney before the Potter Commit

J. X. SYrHER who earned this extraor-

FUEL FOR THE POOR.

As the streets arc being stripped of the old
wooden pavemcnts 1t occurs to us that the re-
moved blocks can and ought to be utilized
Tor fue! for the poor, and that much suffer-
ing might be alleviated thereby. OF course
we are not advised as to what disposition
the District government is making of this
mass of fuel, but 1t does seem that it should
have been devoted to the ends of charity
under some system which would be cquita-
bic and beneficial to a large class of indi-
gent persons, who are approaching the cold
Of winter with dreary prospect, and who
in that way might possibly be saved from
absolute suffering. 1t is to be hoped that
those engaged in the charities of the Dis
trict will at once take this matter in hand,
and through it inNugurate system and
resource of relief that will dispense much
comfort at very triiling expense. If the
blocks can be obtained for the hauling, then
let repositories be established at convenient
points, where they can be dispensed under
the auspices of some organized charity, that
cheer may be carried to many a dcsolatc
and suffering habitation.
We understand that large quantities of
these blocks are being stored by persons of
ailluence or those who are well to do as q
part OF their winter fuel, and at merely
nominal cost. 1t would seem that much
more good could be accomplished by reserv-
ing and utilizing them in the cause OF
charity. We throw out these hints or sug-
gcstions for the consideration of the city
government and almoners of our public
charities, who are much more conycrsant
with the ways best adapted to the dispens-
ing of these comforts. The prospect is that
the claims upon the charitable resources Of
our citizens during the coming winter are
to be heavy and pressing, and that every
expedicnt should be resortcd to to spread
these benefits rs widely as possible.

THE registration in New York city is
quite nattering to the prospects Of Anti
Tampany. The average rate Of increase
over 1877 is II per cent, and what is better,
the smallest portion of this is from the
downtown districts which form the Demo-
cratic stronghold. In the first, sixth, and
eighth the average increase is less than
per cent In the Republican districts,
which are the seventh, ninth, eleventh, and
thirteenth, the gain is about II per cent |;
while in the others, which are regarded as
Anti-Tammany, the average increase is
about IS per cent. Although these districts
usually give Democratic maiorites, they are
populated by small property-holdcrs who
are very earnest for the overthrow of the

THE Democratic press is making far more
fuss and ado over thu fact that some mis-
creant threw a stone at SAM RANDALL
while he was speaking, and which fell
harmless at his feet, than they did over the
slaughtering Of score or more of colored
men at Hamburg, $. c.. the murder of
Judge CmIsoLM and his son and daughter
for opinions sake in Mississippi; the cold
blOoded murder of o colOred man in the
fourth district OF Virginia for applauding a
Republican speaker; the shooting of man
for endeavOring to protect Mr. SwAIls, OF
the lodging Of two bullets in the person of
Mr. DEAs, in South Carolina, whose oflense
is that he is Republican candidate for the
Legislature. These offynses are trivial in
the Democratic eye when compared with
the casting of stone at the sacred body of
SAM RANDALL, which fell short of its mark.

he should have been severely punished for
a violation of law and right; but those pa
pCrs which can see no wrong In wholesale
murder simply make themselves ridiculous
