the face of this clear proof of guilt the
Jury has rendered its verdict Of acquit-
tai. That verdict of acquittal does not
mean that the jury believe Gully inno-
cent it simply means that the white
men on the jury voted that the m,.der
Of Chisholm, Republican leader, was no
crime; and that the colored jurors dare
not, for their lives, refuse to agree with
the white jury,nen.: Detroit Post and

No Justice fer Republicans in south
Carolina.
Mr.. Northrup, United States District
Attorney of South Carolina, declares
that the courts of that State are "whol-
~ under the control of Democrats
that "where political questions are il
volved Republican has no chanc,
whatever. He adds:
"Some of the more thoughtful Democrats
however, are beginning to admit that North.
ern sentiment will no longer tolerate the on.
RACES which have made South Carolina soIidl,
democratic, and that swift letribution woule
for which the last Congressional canvass is IA
NOUS"
We congratulate Mr.. Northrup on the
possession of a sanguine temperament
Why don't the g thoughtful Democrats
put a. stop to the outrages'' agains,
the right of freedom of speech and 20
litical action? If they expect ''swifi
retribution'' to follow the outrage.
similar to those which disgraced then
and their State at the last Congressjona
election, why don't they wash thei1
hands of the infamy, and ally them
selves with the Republican party, which
reprobates the crimes of which tn,
Democratic party is guilty and de
nounces the criminals? If ''thoughtfu
Democrats entertain apprehensions O.
"swift retribution,' why don't the,
stand from under? We frequently hea,
Of ''thoughtful Democrats at th'
South, of conservative Democrats
and Democrats who desire peace an,
harmony; but nobody ever sees them al
the polls. They invariably vote as tn,
bull-dozers shoot-vote the straight,
Democratic ticket, polluted by it:
cousinship to tissue ballots and Grim
soned with the blood of innocent mel
assassinated to secure Democrat,
victory. Thoughtful Democrats j,
South Carolina, indeed! Where were
they the other day at the time of tn,
attempt at assassination in Barnwel
. County? The Postmistress at Blackville
who delivered mail matter or not as sh,
pleased, who delivered the mail matter
addressed to Jones, Republican, tt
Smith, Democrat, in order that Smit|
might threaten Jones with death if h
should dare to receive Republican
litical documents this pattern s
Postmistress was removed. s.,
man appointed in her lace
chivalry objected, and Senator III. L
Butler became their mouthpiece. In e
letter to the Postmaster-G General he de-
handed the removal of the new ap-
ipointee, Nix, and the reinstatement OF
the Postmistress who distributed mail
matter not according to the address,
but according to her own sweet will.
Mr.. Buffers request was not complied
with. Then followed the application
of the shotgun policy. A ruf1ian-
the name of Williams sneaked
up TO the delivery window of the
Post-ofiice-after having sent decoy in
advance prepare a favorable situa-
ton for shooting-and shot the Post
master! No "thoughtful Democrats
appeared on the ground to apprehend
the would-be assassin! Postmaster
Nix called upon the town authorities
for assistance, but they, being all Dem
Gratis, '.refused to render any, There
didn't happen to be a Democrat in
Blackville thoughtful enough to OBJ
ject to the shooting of a United States
officer while in the performance of his
duty, in broad daylight After Will
Jams, the Democratic ruffian, had dis
charged his pistol into the arm of Post
master Nix, he coolly paraded the
street brandishing his deadly weapon.
There are so few thoughtful Democrats
In BarnweH County, South Carolina,
that the Postmaster-General threatens
to abolish the postal service in Black
vile! And this is great Nation, num-
bering nearly fifty million people! But
it doesn't possess power enough to en-
force its laws in the little old tumble
down town of Blackville! The peace
able citizens of that burg must be
deprived of mail facilities because the
Democratic party of South Carolina
does not choose that Republican ..nig-
gers shall have the privilege of read
ing Republican documents!
Democrats are at great pains to as
sert that they do not indorse the Okla
Iona States newspaper. One Democrat
wrote to the Tribune from Mississippi
inclosing Democratic party resolutions
repudiating the States. But these acts
Of reputation are not acts ut all; they
are mere words. The States declares,
with an oath, that this is not, end never
shall be, a Nation! And Democrat
in BarnWell County, South Carolina,
responds by shooting the Postmaster
who represents the Nation in that
county. The States declares, with an
oath, that there is no such thing rs q
National election! And tnt Demo-
cratic party in nearly every State Of the
South surrounds the polls with. q cor
don of Ku-Klux, rifle clubs and bull
dozers, and ratilies the assertion Of the
States by making Of the National cleo
ton for Congressman farce, q fraud,
. carnival Of crime! How long, O
Lord, how long. shall the National
authority be set At defiance? How long
before il shall stretch forth its ayeng-
ing arm and lay it's hand heavily upon
the assassins who kill its citizens and
threaten tho National lie. Chicago
