OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

LOulSIdIld Ot luclI way w 'Cot''s w
fore the United States Courts has
been the last feather to break the
Democratic camel's back. Many
Democratic papers begin to see the
truth which they have been denying
and concealing for the last ten years,
and some of them denounce the cry
of the bloody shirt as no longer po
tent to keep back the disagreeable
exposure to follow the rebel meth
ods in the South. The patient and
long suffering colored people Of the
South are apparently at last to re-
ceive justice from an unexpected
quarter, and, as in 1856, the Demo
cratic ranks can be no longer kept
intact on the line of ruifianism and
fraud. The latest outrages in Lou
isiana, by the way, are what decid-
ed the Blaine Committee to change
its first objective point from South
Carolina to New Orleans. They
will stay in Louisiana probably two
weeks, and afterwards go to Wade
Hampton's hunting ground. The
evidence already in the hands Of the
Cabinet officers is sufficient to damn
any party but one which had before
shouIdered treason and reputation
and assassination, but the evidence
which the committee gather will be
more damning yet. We have private
accounts indicating that many Dem
ocrats and Conservatives in the South
will make startling confessions hav.
ing become sick of maintaining the
usurpation of fraud and violence,
since it is apparent that it can only
he done by making anarchy and ter
rorism perpetual. They realize that
the material interests of the South
are suffering beyond repair by the
continuance of this wrongful system
and are ready to turn a new leai.
Meanwhile the Democrats do not
press the inquiry into Northern out.

they do into cipher dispatches, and
Judging from Mr.. Thurman's letter

liant about it.
The assured success of resump-
tion justified the Cabinet at the
meeting yesterday in the indulgence
of congratulations. The result has
been brought about by patient and
perseveTiug effort and steady faith
and the Republican party is credited
with the honor. Doubtless the next
elections will testify TO the popular.
