MeSsrs. EdtmS,-Your tbtice of Bish-
op Keane's visit to Charlottesville does the
Episcopal and our presbyterian Church
unintentional injustice Your correspon-
dent says the Town Hall in Charlottes-
vile was filled by very large audience
made up principally of Presbyterians and
Episcopalians. The'writer was present,
and knows this statement to be erroneous;
there was large company, probably 300
or $50 persons present, representing all the
churches, as well as the Jews and Roman
Catholics and those who attend no church
regularly. l am sure there were not
more than thirty Presbyterians and about
twenty Episcopalians. Now in view OF
the fact that our pastor was absent attend
ing Synod and our church 1caS closed, and
that the Episcopal church was also closed,
the statement made above, (which would
lead to the belief that our people made
the majority of the assembly, is hardly
a fair one to 90 abroad. Most Of those
who were present from the churches were
young ladies and gentlemen (students)
who had never heard Roman Catholic,
and had been told that III his morning
sermon he preached gospel sermon, and
did not allude to their errors and heresles.
We who were present feel badly, and ac-
knowledge that it was not the right way
to spend the Sabbath evening, but don t
think it Just that our church, the great
majority of whom either remained at their
homes and read their Bibles, or went to
some Christian church, should be chas-
tised over our shoulders.

secret societies is a very proper one for
Christian judgment, voluntary matter.
The Church of Christ would, nevertheless,
seem to embrace every thing that's good in
the way of Faith, Hope, and Charity that
is practised in a secret benevolent society,
while the time that church members have
to devote to their societies, must to some
considerable extent, be subtracted from
that which is due to the Church.

THE SOUrH,s MISTAKE.

The causes which have brought about this tde
of emgration from the South are the same which
have hitherto shut out all emigration to the South.
Ofthe vast number of foreigners who have landed
on our shores only insignificant traction ever
branched off from the stream that lowed steadily
TO the North and West. There was everything IN
the natural conditions of the South to invite
settlers from the North and from abroad but every
enterprssing laborer and mechanic and small
capitalist who was seeking a peaceful home tor
himself and for his children, was warned away by
the social tyranny of one sort or another
which prevailed in the old region of slavery. ms
lack of reverence for law and disregard OF per
sonal and political rights which have hitherto
operated negatively TO check and turn aside the
natural infowlng Of capital, enterprise and pro-
ductive labor, are now working more positive as
aster by driving out the only body of labor which
can be depended on to produce the great agricul-
tural staples which constitute the sole wealth OF
these States.
This crowning loss, which threatens the actual
desolation of the South, is the natural punishment
visited upon that section for its habits Of violence
and like all natural punishment 1t is reme-
dial in is tendency 1t is plain that the
exodus and the material losses which it Threatens
have already compelled serOus reflection on the
part Of tho more prudent class of Southern WHITES
and it will do yet more. When these simple chH-
dren of toll turned trustfully Northward their sole
desire was to find home where life and property
and political privileges would at last be safe. But
they Will accomplish something for their oppressors
az well as for themselves. They will teach them
lesson winch in spite of repeated warnings they
have been slow to learn and which statutes and
troops have been powcrlcss to enforce. When
community begins to realize that injustice doesn't
paw. there is hope of reformation. Bulldozing VIII
be an unpopular amusement as soon as the South Is
made to feel that it is the direct cause of shrunken
assets and diminished political power

at the polls and If their attempt has ms
carried it ia because they Ovcrestimated their
strength. and failed 20 take account of the
staunchness of the opposition and the per
spicacily of the public. So far rs they had the
power they did all that they threatened.
What they are 20 do next concerns them
much more than it does us. The policy OF The
Republicans is clear. We have only to stand
still, and the Bourbon revolution will put
AN end to itself. The repeal OF the
effective provisions of the election laws
is impossible About thar there is no sort OF
doubt And il is all one TO the RepuDllcan
party whether the Democracy surrender noW'
or make a further futile attempt ard then sur
render. They may present new bill, free
from the Objectionable provisions indicated
in the veto-a bill to repeat the prohibitions
already embodied in the Revised Statutes and
to accomplish nothinG-or they may abandon
their scheme Mt once, pass the ordinary ap-
preparations, and go home. Either course
would be q confession of defeat, aD ackn0Wi-
edgment that the position of the President
and his party is impregnable We need not
disturb ourselves over the manner OF their re-
treat We have already secured not only TIE
practical advantages of victory but the moral
effect
The irreparable blunder of the Democracy
involves something more than taking Il posi-
ton which they cannot MAINTAIN, ana from
which they cannot retire without discredit.
They have demonstrated their purpose for the
next campaign to hold the Solid South by
force. and to carry Northern cities by frauds

ton of 1868. The cry OF danger to our hb-
ertes--not from the presence OF troops at
" the polls" for that is only wild figure OF
speech but from the existence OF statutes
which might empower the President TO call
upon the military to enforce the laws-is an
impudent pretence which deceiyes nobody.
The fixed resolve of the Democracy Is that
where their control of the State Govern
ment gives them opportunity to WINK at the
stuiing of bal0t-bOXes in their interest ana
the driving of negroes from the polls by rifle
clubs and red-shirts, no outside authority
shall be allowed to interfere with them. The
Solid South will fall to pieces whenever the
laws to protect the integrity of the franchise
are fairly executed. There is not reasona-
BILE and rejecting man Mt the North who does
not know that this is the whole meaning OF
Democratic hostility to the election laws.
When Democratic President used troops to
keep order at the elections in Kansas in 1888,
Mr.. Pendeton ridiculed the idea of danger to
popular liberties as the suggestion Of weak
"imaginatOn and not the sober apprehen-
" sion of a manly Judgment" and the Demo-
cratic party cOncurred with him. Have they

long as Congress continues in session Demo-
cratic statesmen will continue to indulge In
oiatorical deiyerances, the baneful effect OF
which upon the party cannot be counteracted
or cured. 1t is useless to seal up the caucus
so long as Congress is open. That Is only
turning down the spigot with the bung left
out. There is but one way to arrest the mis-
chief done the party. That is to adjourn
ms soon as possible. That course would have
another advantage, too. 1t would not only ar
rest the mischief to the party, but also the
possibility of mischief to the country. The
encouraging feature of this discovery IS that
the Democracy are beginning to find ont
things. They have found out that they
cannot afford to let the public know
what they do in caucus. When they find ont
that it is safer not to have any proceedings
than to try to keep them secret and safer
not to have Congress in session than to have
its proceedings to defend, their discovery Will
be complete. Sdll they are making some
progress. Next to not doing ridiculous things,
is to know they are ridiculous and be ashamed
of them

TRREp EpARfRTF

When the Democratic Caucus resolved to
take from the President all means of exc
cutting tho laws for the preservation of free
dom Of voting, and announced in Congress,
through one of It's leading members. that if
the scheme was opposed it would stop the
Government ii committed blunder which can
never be repaired. That was the fatal fault
OF the campaign. 1t exposed to the country
the shameful purposes of the Democratic ex-
tremists, and it proved that the party was
wholly controlled by It's most violent and dan
Rcrous faction. Nothing which more cautious
politicians can now do will obliteratc that er-
ror. The act has been done, and the people
have read its significance. For the proc
lamatOn was not an empty threat.
The Democrats have tried their best to do
what they said they would do. They have
refused to make appropriations for the support
of the Government except upon the condition
that the President would abdicate his const-
tuuonal functions and consent TO free fraud

New-York tribune., 1879-05-05

THE TRIBUNE's disclosure Of the barbarism
and wickedness of the Georgia chain gang
has been met by a characteristic endeavOr on
the part of tho Democratic press of that
State to show that the Republican party was
responsible, because, according to these retro
spective refOrmers. the Republican party orig
mated the system. The suggestion will
no doubt be deemed hypereritical IN
the latitude of Georgia, but it would
really seem that the responsibility of those
who began the system is small matter COM
pared with the responsibility Of those who
have perpetuated it, and that 1t was of much
greater importance to see whether something
could not be done to break it up than to dis
cover who was originally at fault But If the
question of political responsibility must be
settled, it is well to have 1t settled in accord
ance with the facts. 4 letter from Atlanta,
printed elsewhere, sets forth the truth of
the matter. From this record, it seems that
the idea Of leasing the convicts originated in
Democratic House of the Legislature,
passed an equally divided Senate, and twas
approved by a Republican Governor. Then
il was merely an experimental measure of
economy. Its evils showed themselves at once,
DuC aIler tWo years CohlIlu1hCe VI tuo system
an overwhelmingly Democratic Legislature
extended it for two years more. At the ex-
pirati0n of that time an extension was ordered
by q solidly Democratic Government for five
years. During those five years the horrors Of
the system have vastly increased, and in the
face Of them all, the Democratic Government
of Georgia has decreed that they shall con-
time unchecked for trenty years TO come.
The responsibility of the Democrats OF
Georgia for a penal system unCer which men
and women are chained together, night and
day, and convicts are killed like sheep, would
seem to be pretty clear.
