The Outrage Will.

The Blaine Teller Committee is vigor
ously running the outrage machine. This
thing of Investigating the South has
been going on with a well known parti-
san purpose, ever since 1871, when Sena-
tor Scott of Pennsylvania, submitted his
" report from the Select Committee to
investigate oulrages in the Southern
States ;" and it is time to abate the Gus
tom as a costly nuisance. Radical wit
nesses are exceedingly swift, and their
testimony is as abundant and as cheap as
dirt The supply of every quality, no
matter how blood curdling, is equal 10
the demand. The rebutting facts that
Democratic witnesses tell, never find
their way into Northern Republican pa
pers. The sensational stories of the
Eliza Pinkstons and the George Wash
ingtons, are the ones that reach the
Northern public through that channel !;
and they are sent forth on the wings of
the lightning and blazoned wi tn stirring
headlines to fan the flames, and keep
alive the baleful fires of sectional strife.
The Republican party has been beaten
on the financial issue. Its opposition to
the dollar Of the fathers has made it
odious TO the laboring masses. Its extrav-
agance and corruption have made it a
nauseating stencil in the public nostrils,
and its chief hope for prolonging the
lease of power which it obtained by
fraud in 1871, is by soiidifying the North
against the South with such contrivances
as the Blaine Teller investigation. Truth
is mighty, and in the end, will prevail;
but there is no use playing into the hands
of dangerous and INSCRIPTIONS adver-
sary in order to verify the adage.

The Window scheme.

The Northern Republican leaders have
devised still another scheme for keeping
up agitation. In order to reduce South
ern representation in Congress, some of
them now propose to remove the colored
people from the Southern States. See
the resolutions of Senator Wind7m.
Where these persistent agitators will find
the authority to thrust the hands of the
general government into the States and
carry of part of their population, We
cannot imagine. They have in the or
ganic law of the Union, declared the
colored man to be citizen IN the fullest
acceptation of the term, and the South
ern States have aequiasced and are exc
cutting the law in good faith, and what
right has the government now to draw
the color line and to know who is black
and who Is white? What do the coI0red
people think of the scheme Are they
ready to emigrate To bid adi=u to
