lazoo, Miss, Is now the theme upon which
Republican newspapers, and not few Con.

more Or less virulence and ferocity. It seems
that an Independent movement was started

N The New York mania for ionizing murder

and Jack Sheppard as heroes, but for ladies'
to hang around and worship an Ignorant and
brutal negro murderer like Gf1astiue tux Is

the hero or lion Of the day; packages OF to-
bacco and baskets Of bouquets no longer roach
him. new hero has sprung up and won the
tickle hearts of the New York ladies' Par-
| telio, man whose murder of his employer
was so brutal. SO horrible, SO inexeusable, that
his counsel will plead insanity for him, on
the ground that 1t Is impossible for any sane
| man to be such demon. Portfolio being
swarthy. unpleasant-looking, surly, lima
tured brute, having twice attempted suicide,
first by starvation and again with spoon,
was, as we predicted. sure to be a popular
favorite. He is now receiving all the presents
that once reached Chastine Cox, and gets far
more attention than Mrs. Hul's murderer

that seems to threaten the fair donors with
the same fate as poor Bollender, he is. of

mantle and devllish villain. 1t is said that
Ghastine Is wildly, deliriously Jealous of his
brother murderer, and denounces In the
strongest terms, the fickleness of public taste
and admiration. whereby he once the lion of
the day, is neglected and uncared for. without
visitors or presents.

The Lambertype Process.

sizes which resulted In 1875 from the race
Issue, and the Yazoo people determined that
1t should not be reinaugurated in their midst
for the mere purpose of gratifying the official
aspirations of man of strife and whose
hands were stained with blood. They declare
that they had no purpose of interfering with
the political rights and privileges OF any one,
| white or black and we believe them. We
have seen something Of this race issue in our
| own State, and no man can venture to again
raise it without becoming public enemy
ard imperilling the peace and order of
society.
1t is the policy Of the Republican press to
denounce every effort Of the whites to pre-
vent riot and bloodshed In their midst as
Democratic outrages upon the negroes ard
mob law against the free ballot. These papers
understand that the negroes are ignorant.
and that where they are In great majolities
bad men may easily excite their race preju-
dices and lead them to do much mischief
But that is o matter Of no consequence. Yazoo
and other similarly situated communities are
remote from these Republican editors, and
1t matters little TO the latter how many riots
may be organized, or how many properties
may be destroyed or how many lives
may be sacrificed In these race conflicts,
always instigated by scheming white Office
seekers; and the unfortunate handful of
whites must submit to be ridden down by
negro bullies and mobs; to see their property
destroyed and their lives In peril or II they
take measures to preserve peace and order
and protect themselves, they must be de-
nounced throughout the Union as bulldozers,
rufffans and murderers. Ii q point can be
made against the Democratic party or the
Southern people can be misrepresented the
object Is cheaply attained these stalwart
scribblers think, at the cost Of peace and order
and few lives in Southern community.
We expect this Of Republican papers; but 1t
i'll becomes Democratic papers to take part
In such a business Of defamation. The people
Of YazoO have been shamefully, nay, cruelty
denounced; but none Of their traducers have
cared to investigate he facts or thought OF
any other rsion OF the affair than
that given by Dixon and his supporters.

The old idea that machinery Is Injurious to

The Republican papers have been wont tc
accuse the people Of the South Of being de-
frauders OF the revenue. The Cincinnati
Gazette and journals Of that class
pointed with delight to the Moonshiners
of North Carolina and West Virginia

bellous sentiments still tlourished In the
South. The report of Commissioner Raum.
plodes this idea. He shows that Ohio is the
worst offender in this matter, no less than

A glance at the pension roll shows that for
every 10000 men furnished the Union army
by Kentucky 1862 are In receipt Of invalid
pensions, whereas every 10000 New England
ers furnished $3.50 Invalid pensioners. It is
difficult to explain why the New Englanders
could not stand army life and exposure as well
as the Kentuckians. Some people suggest,
however. that 1t was not question of expo
sure, but that the men from Vermont and
Massachusetts understand better how to run
the pension business.

The German Socialists, the other day, car
ried the parliamentary election IN Bresian
the second city of Prussia. This success, in
view of the late stringent anti-Socialst laws
passed by tho Reichstag, shows the strength
OF this movement. The next election will be
an earnest fight between the Liberals and
Conservatives, the latter including the Ultra
montanists, and being led by Bismarck him
self. II Is not unlikely that In this contest
the Socialists will hold the balance Of power.
