THE IRRRPRESsIBLE coz.
FLICT.

1t is not possible or desirable to con-
cesl the plain truth. 1t is toldin pain
full facts. Il is no more true North
hsu South, Of the Yankee than Of the
johnny Reb," that neither will toler-
ate African supremacy. Four years
ago the white rsce had won mastery
everywhere, and there wss confessed
improvement IN local governments, and
popular burdens, except In Texas, were
greatly lessened. 1t was thought that
peace and order would be permanent: !:
out the negroes deemed themselves
vict'mizsd by whites, with whom they
live, when, in point OF fact, burjf Ds OF
governments aud indirect and intolera-
BILE taxation impoverish the most indus
trious laboring populations and have
filed a continent with trsmps. The ne
gro race therefore organizes its strength
IN regain supremacy. D KIDD, killed
10 Y-zoo. only sought to take advan-
tage of this purpose of the blacks, to
gain money, whI'e Africa sought polit-
&c ii supremacy. The cor flict Is not To-
cal and it is quite as irrepressible as
that of which Seward dresmad and
Brownlow expounded and Lincoln
wept over. The races, as equals, are
not, and cannot be, homogeneous
mass. Here they vote solidly with the
few Greenbackers. even when 6 negro
has an inherent native aversion to pa
per money, and simply because they
will ever vote against the great body
of the white race. We do not feel the
evil where the negroes are in the mi
uority, but they complain among them
selves and resent in their hearts this
political domination of whites. Thus
Ex-Governor Davis can vote them as he
pleases, and thus Hon. Wash Jones
represents in Congress nobody but
Governor Davis. But when aud how
can this evil be remedied2 Surely,
where there is no governing capacity
the power to govern should not reside,
and it cannot. But wherever negro
mDjorities exist there are coming vio-
lent conflicts. Dixon's death IS pre-
cursor of great evils. The conf ct is
not of parties, but of races, and the
sooner the one is transferred to Kansas
or elsewhere colonizsd, the better for
both and for the country's prosperity
and peace.

this new movement of outright free

CAssANAyE, mulaLtO member OF

made Hayes President, at last demands
his reward. He is a modest, clever
negro, and was well esteemed by all
classes before be was drawn into poll
tics to be used as a tool by infamous
>coundrels. Poor Cassansvel he has
lost his good name and his money and
is repudiated by those who promised
to protect and reward hlm. he was
sued with his partners IN crime, and
he alone being solvent must pay the
lawyers fees. The board employed
these lawyers, and Shermsn's and
Hayes's friends and supporters prom
ised to pay the fees, but when an ex-
ecution was levied on C4ssaDave'r
modest little livery stable neither Of
his coadju'ors of the returning board
could pay a dollsr, and Cassansve's all
was levied upon. He appealed, he
says, to Sherman and others. They
gave him about $1700 of the $4,000
wanted, and Cassanave, it seems, is
ruined. It will be observed that Cas-
sanave prefers NJ charges and tells NO
tales out of school, but tells all about
the school. He means to cay that il
the stable be finally sold, and those for
whom he peljdred himself do not
come to the rescue, he will make q
clean breast of it. 1t occurs to us tha,
the $4,000 will be produced, and Cas-
sanave's stable will he spared.
