The Bloody Code at Washington

The South brings TO Washington again
all the brutal influences which distinguish
that section. Shooting negroes down like
dogs at home is not a practice that tends
TO humanize and civilize those whose who
engage in it. The Southern bulldozer
comes to Congress as the old slave masters
came, hardened in iniqnity. arrogant,
proud. insolcnt. fortified to do his work in
Congress by cold steel and gunpowder,
the arguments of DULLES and cut-throats.
These were the instruments that Silenced
the dauntess Cilley, when other means
failed to turn him from the course where
honor and duty led. Brute force, the
bloody code. these are the ready resources
of the Southern bully of to-day. coming
back to rule in the Congress and govern
ment which only Northern valor and pa
triotism saved from destruction by South
ern rebels
Senator Logan challenged by an ex-rebel
Colonel. What feelings the flashing of
the news over the North aroused. 1t re-
called the murder of Cilley. the brutal as
sault upon Sumner, the days of 1861 when
the Senate rang with treason and the Sc
cessionistS marshaled their forces to des-
troy the government which they could no
longer control. If the South desires to
arouse the spirit of the North to deal with
it as its crimes against the country and hui
manly deserve let follow up in its pecu-
liar way the introduction of the pistol as
an argument between congressman
Is this the quiet. pcaccable. harmless
South, for whom the democracy have been
pleading and speeches Of cancellation been
uttered and to whose hands ii is said there
can be no danger in entrusting the full
control of this government in 1880? i it

people Of the North when they see the
