WHATEVER agitators Of the Blaine

the South, and to keep alive sectional

of her people for the abundant and

were showered upon them by the people
Of the North in their recent affections.

WHEN Sheridan was denouncing the
white Democracy of Louisiana as bandit
and asking for authority to hang them
without Judge or jury, an indignant re-
monstrance against the proceeding, and
the subordination Of the civil to the mil
tary authority, was interposed by the
Governor Of New York, 5 J. Tilden.
Now, when the federal authorities
prompted by the same spirit cf sectional
hate and lust of power are interfering
with elections, another manly protest is
heard in the same quarter. Gov. Rob
inson Of that great State, in his recent
message says:
"A significant fact in connection with
our recent election. is the organized attem Dt
OF the Federal authorities TO interfere with
the suffrage of our citizens. This seems TO

A pliart witness comes before the com

ed appr baton and turns red in the face

t. by ignorant negroes and degraded whites
is welcomed as the revelation of inspired
truth
Another witness swears that many ne
groes freely voted the Democratic ticket,
and the skeptical Mr.. Teller simply ele
Yates his official eyebrows, and turns up
his official nose in an act of contumetiOus
doubt. Everything that is sworn to by
white men of Intelligence and good re-
pute is consigned to the limbo of impossi
BILE facts, and discredited assertion. This is
the manner in which the Teller Com
mittee. and all other Republican com
miItees that have. visited the South,
conduct their supposititiops inquiries.
