The Teller Committee at Louisiana
is bringing to light such cold-blooded
murders and outuages at the late No
YemDer elections. that some of the bet
ter class Of Democratic papers are
waking up to the true policy to be
pursued by thean, and are denouncing
them us strongly as any Republican
can desire. Aanong others the Peoria
National Democrat says: I'VE think
it is. high time for Democratic papers
every where, especially in the North
to dry up" about the "bloOdy shirt
and Southern outrages. The sneak
ing, cowardly murder of White and
Clark. two eJlored witnesses. on their
way to New Orleans to testify, under
subpoena of the United States Court,
before the grand jury, is an outrage
that cannot be excused, palliated,
patched up, aor defended by any hon
est white man, and the sooner Teller
and his wh0le'committee, and the Fed
eraI army too, get after the perpetra-
tors the better for the peace of the
country. lit these Southern murderers
think that the Northern Democrats
are going to sseck them up in all and
any sort OF diab olism they may perpe-
TRACE, they are very much mistaken.
They iaye'eurSed the Northern Dem
ocrilcy long enough and often enough
by their inlputaan barbarism; and If
they want airy further support from
| Northern Democrats, they must act
like civilized white men, and not like
dem oniac saNages. The country has
had exactly enough of that sort of con-
duct and no more will be tolerated.
Let Ills hear nomore about the bloody
| shirt on Southern outrages in a single
Northern Democratic paper. These
Southern devilshave made their bed !;
| let them lie in it.
| "A Southern paper commenting on
the above extract says, "When Dem
ocratic paper speaks in this way it
would seem that the Southern CUES
ton will not down at the bidding Of
any man. That the people care for
| the wronged citizens: and demand that
murder outrage and fraud shall be
punished and not showed one side as a
dead issue That the only way to get
the Southern question out of politics
is for the South to recognize the right
OF every imam to vote as he chooses
and to cease their persecution of men
for opinions sake"
The Democracy are claiming to have
discovered a forgery in the Louisiana
Presidential election returns in 1876,
as Thomas S. Kelley testified, before
the Potter COMMITTEES, within a few
days, that D. 2. Blanchard wrote the
name of Mr.. Joffrin to the returns of
the Electoral College Of the State Of
Louisiana. This cannot be refuted
as Mr.. Blanchard is dead, but what
are the facts in regard to the returns
from louisiana. The Geturns to
which, it is claimed, Mr.. Blanchard
signed Mr.. Joffrin's name, were not
counted or considered by the electoral
commission. True they were opened
and read as was the burlesque certif- |
Gates casting the vote of the State for
John Smith," Then on motion of |
Senator Morton, certificate No. /, be-
ing the certificate to which every sig
nature was admittedly genuine, was
counted and declared to be the ex-
pressed will of the Electoral College of
the State Of Louisiana. There was mol
fatal defect in the original certificate.
The omission in certificate No. l.
which was sent back by Senator Fer
ry for correction was similar to those
which existed in the returns sent for
