at Yazoo City WA horrible enough,
but the conduct Of the venerable New
York preacher, Rev. DR.. Joseph p.
Thompson, the most learned and de-
vout of the great pulpit orators Of Go.i :
am. excites even 9 profounder sensa-
tion. Nobody cares for Dixon. The
world may be the gamer by his death,
and there was only personal quarrel,
to which be and B4rksdale were the
parties. de was deemed by many q
dangerous and bad man, even Rs ali
white men are abhorred by white Insn
and by negroes who become black,
and even as ell black men who become
whites in association and partisanshiP
ar5 hated by blacks Dixon went
among the negroes to organiZs them
and secure q position in which be could
Ob the whites, the negroes, paying no
taxes, having nothing to ioie. D.xnn's
purposes could not be mi.concetFed.
When white man is seen In negro
political and other assemblies making
negro speeches end Inducing negroes
into bar-rooms aud making negroes
his associates, intelligent negroes con-
tema OF sbhoE him and never miscor-
ee,pe his pufpossse They know BIN
70 be q knave, and that his purpose lie
to use innocent black voters to secure
Office in which he may steal enough to
refuad sums expended IN bsr-rooms
and IN buying leading negroes who herd
and vote the great body of them. There
are such white men even In Au'tin
They have been seen at night when
elections were at hand sneakIng IN and
out of the modest cabins on Robertson
Hill or dancing with dusky msidens in
tas juugles of Wheatville and leading
thirsty sons of Ham to bar-room count
ers and tipping winks and glasses with
the eloquent African politicians that
these may induce the great herd to
proclaim their virtues through the
polluted bsllot-box. That they are
despised by whites and abhorred by
negroes Is true enough and that they
are shown little mercy when involved
in quarrels is natural enough.
But the North should know that the
two races will never coalesce and
should not. God decreed their separa-
tion and the violation of the law re-
suits in the extinction of the hybrid
product, and they who make the worst
and most of the Yazoo troubles
have only confessed the natural and
necessary consequences of laws of
men violative OF those of nature and
of God. Lincoln, Brownlow and those
prophets and statesmen were correct
when they asserted the necessity for
the segregation Of races and colonIza-
tion of Africans. 30 necessary and
natural Is this contamination that the
negro himself attempts the execution
of the purpose and courts death by
invading Kansas. Why may not the
Federal government intervene, and,
buying San Domingo or Yucatan or
district of Mexico, give the colored peo-
pie tropical paradise. Mr.. Conkling
may inveigh, as he will, against South
ern barbsrty Snd brutality, as Illus
trated in the shooting of Dixon and
assassination of Chisholm and his
child, but Conkling's and the ''na-
tons" cruelty to the African is meas
ureless in creating and protractiDg this
''irrepressible conflict" of races. Col
located as they are, there can be no
homogeneity except through miscegna-
tion, and this, within three genera
tions after it was beguo, would wit
ness the determination of whites and
blacks. This is the end sought to be
consummated by those who Yainly
seek the achievement of the unity of
blacks and whites. While Barksdale
slaughters one man, Conlkling and his
absurd followers would degrade and
annihilate ten millions of people and
reduce ten States to hopeless poverty
and barbarian.
But il these were not the facts and
if these were not necessary results of
facts which Barksdale resents and alb
hors, in what is the violent death of
Dixon moro terrible or more significant
of popular vices or Of popular criminal
ity than this latest development of So
cial degradation in the North which
begins with the foremost Senator and
the president of the New York Repub
ySan State Convention and permeatinR
society is again conspicuous In the cor-
duct of the Rev. Joseph P. Thompson,
the gray haired and learned exPounder
OF Gods word. II Barksdale be 'ibull
dozer," what are Conkhng, Beecher,
and Thompsopi Bsrksdals and Dixop
are obscure and commonplace people.
but the great Senator and the greatest
preacher Of the North are guilty OF
crimes illustrative Of conditions Of Sc
ciety infinitely more dangerous and
ruinous than this. IN which tSe worst
that can be said Of it 10 the fact that
two diverse races cannot live in and
govern copjointly the same country.
No two brothers have Feigned in
peace a. coordinate kings. There
could not be 9 dual presidency; there
cannot be dual and diverse sovereign
peoples; but there should be and can
be, and Federal armies should inter-
yene 90 to compel the maintenance Of
the leading great principles Of public
snd private morals in the North. That
infamous convention that made pub
lic adulterer It's presiding officer should
have been dispersed By the army Of
the Union ca and Hayes, when inter
posing to assure the hanging Of Barks-
dale, and Of the ignorant brutal mob
that slew that coarse. vulgar fellow
Chisholm and his child, in Ksmper
county, Hississippl, should also punish,
and remedy those more daez
vices and crimes Which de,tr s.-ss.- ss-.
