cans Of the North have discovered q mare .

or,np TO uttlize In tho way Of. exciting nortn.

crats in ;Yazoe county, Mississippi nave
suppressed independent candidates II INV

ticket and keep the governing power IN sne'
hand. of that party. A long account 10
ratherel, and many letters and much Lest''
mony given to the northern pubic 20 sno"
them that SURPRISING and bulld3zing are
rampant and predominant in Yazoo, TO lac
dettiment Of negroes and Radicals ana .ne
tr,nrnnh OF Democrats and Lne solid south.
The Cincinnati Commercial is apparently
the most active in getting up the material !;
for tbe startling development OF TINS stare
hind Of outrage. That paper appeared
,ew davs since after the manner OF h'cn'
nond watermelon-cart, crying at the top
of it's voice the Yazoo waterme'ohs. pu'
tbe fruit is become so stale that there - III ),

TIL not Surprising northern people Gun :
not he kent ND to the fcver-heat OF excitement
.hout the reported wrongs OF Africans IN
the Gulf, who unquestionab'y are not III
anv manner impaired in their indefeaslbie
ricbt TO many things, including complexion
and instincts. What have the portnern
white yeomanry to do with those matters
6. way down in the Yazoo nation-sreat DIG
wife and little plantation ?" And tnae Is
wuar Jney are no doubt asking. as tney nave
been for ten years past without getting any
satisfactory answer.
The fact is the people in the South nave
the same motives and inallenaDle r'Shts 10
take care of their interests as those or Ne"
ENGLAND. and we begin to suspect that they
are as wide awake and as sharp IN taxing
care of them as are their northern
brethren, 10 speak it tremendously. And
we rather think that il those northern
brethren will take care Of their municipal
affairs and leave their dear friends OF the
South the unmolested right to do the same,
the country will be just as safe and order
and right be Just as fairly maintained.
The country is getting better acquainted
with the onward and unavoidable course OF
national affairs, and understands better how
impossible it Is to establish craze in one
section OF the Union by manufacturing out
rares in another. The device is grown
stale, and must soon be utterly abandoned.
The New York Times, abiding to the
Yazoo excitement, remarks:
"These occurrences admit OF etechue
partisan use at the North. Tidings OF them
come opportunity for the stalwarts." En-
actly! And that is what our contemporary
Of the Cincinnati Commercial wanted with
them to utilize them in the Ohio election.
But, then, we repeat, the thing has grown
stale. 1t will not answer the purpose for
which it has been for so many years en-
ploycd. The Commercials load OF 1azoo
walermelons will be lost, will perish OIL its
hands, though lie chant them never SO loud
ly.
The inhabitants of Yazoo will go on
managing their affairs after their own FASH
ion lust as HALsTEAD & Co. manage theirs
their " wants" and their "for sales," and
their auctions" ETC., etc. And the Gin
cinnati publishers are wasting deal OF
space in publishing rehashed southern
stories and "race boshery" that have be-
come most naturally and unayoidably
bore and an abomination TO all people,
without distinction Of race, color, or pre-
yious condition OF seryitudc.o
