Concerning w. HI. Robertson.

TO Ult LtIiIOT q IHs htPtOttCUH
You did great injustice to Judge w.
H. Robertson in your editorial Friday morning 1
have known this gentleman since the Republican
party was formed, and he has ever been a con-
sistent Republican. No man is more popular in
his district, and deservedly so, because he is an
excellent citizen and neighbor, kind hearted, un-
pretending, pure. and true. When he speaks he
looks one straight in the face. and if his honest
eyes were now before you you would be the last
man to call him contemplate triekster Respect
fully, CHARLES F. RAUN.
This friend deals only in generalities. He does
not defend the specific acts which lie at Judge
Robertsons door-ED. REPUBLICAN,

To The Editor Of The Republican:
l have this moment received letter
from an old Iowa friend now a resident in Missis-
sippi, one of Ben Hills carpet baggers, although
he has lived there since the end of the rebellion,
and for time was one of the Supreme Court of the
State, good lawyer, and a man of the highest
character In this letter he says Little Billy Ma
hone is sure enough broth of boy Success to
him, and bad luck to his enemies. May the ID
fly away with them.'' This am sure is the senti-
ment of all men who favor free public schools and
fair elections and an honest count. No man is do
ing, and capable of doing, much for all that is
good in government as Malone. God speed him
in his noble work! T.

THE pure reformers who ere afraid that
Senator Malone is a repudiator should
disprove his charge that the Southern
States have scaled down their debt in the
aggregate to thirty-fve cents on the dol
lar, while the Readjusters propose to pay
all tbey fairly owe.

10 me Edt0r o. Inc Repu0ucdn:
Utterly desperate, the Solid South,
backed by the loyal Voorhees, and Pendleton,
would retain power by revolution or murder. The
game now is for the bulles to force score of fights
if need be, with Mahone until he is disposed Of
and their majority thus restored; Cowsrdly dogs,
they hunt in packs and afraid to assail single
handed. As to Mahones misrepresenting Vir-
ginia it is false. Every man of the majority who
voted for him sustains his course i'll the Senate.
Who, then, is he false to? Those who opposed him
only assail him. VIRGINIA.

So Say They All.

To the Editor oftte Republican:
1 wish to say that the statement made
by Senator kellogg in his speech of Thursday last
exactly corroborates the stories told by the col
oIed people interviewed at the exodus camps in
Kansas who had escaped from scenes of murder
and cruelty that Northern people have no idea Of
The vagrant laws of Louisiana and Mississippi are
essentially Identical, and everywhere the cry
comes up from these poor creatures, driven by serf
dom worse than slavery, and from homes of their
birth and affection. EDS

HdItNeT DtH 1III, WdUt hampton,
or other Bourbon Senators may say of Malone, the
fact will not be forgotten that when the Senate
was convened they most ardently desired that he
would take seat with them and assist in organiz-
ing the Senate on a Democratic basis. Had he done
so they would have been as ready to defend and
applaud as they are now ready to attack and de-
nounce him. His views on readjustment did not
trouble them till it was discovered he would vote
with the Republicans.-Cu Cumberland Nelrs.

AN ENGLISH OUTRAGE.
How People Are Emprisoned in Ireland
a Letter from n Prisoner.

To the Editor of The Republican:
send you Land-Leaguer's letterfrom
Kilmainham prison, and desire to say ON behalf
of the prisoner and his cause that in his corre-
spondence with myself he always expressed the
most earnest opposition to anything tending to
outrage ON the part of the people of Ireland in the
land agitation. But men of his peaeeable disposi-
ton, age, and spirit and intelligence are they who
win be prosecuted by the landlord government Of
England and Ireland. The arrest and imprison-
ment of this young man is an act Of the grossest
injustice and tyranny. The government knows the
men who preach peaeeable and determined opposi-
ton to the hateful rule of landlordism are the
strongest foes that rule has-for they don't give
strength to the enemy, which the perpetration Of
crime would. D. A. BROSNAN-

The Minority Revolt.

How forcibly the resistance of the
Democrats in the Senate to the requirements of
the Constitution reminds US of 1861. Behold the
Solid South" led by South Carolina and Georgia
again, while the Northern Democrats, now as then,
stand by and encourage them in their revolu-
tionary designs against the Government. Let this
disgraceful scene continue while longer and
loyal men everywhere, North and South, will feel
bound to rally TO the Republican standard as the
only possible means of aVerting another attempt
to destroy the Government Never have l cast a
Republican vote but there are scores of thousands
in the South sick of strife and reyolution-Demo-

The way they look at the Malone ques-

Why, Certainly.

What the World is anxious to impress
Democratic Senators is that it is to the ad
vantage not only of the Democratic party, but of

confirmed than that Mr.. Chandler should be de-

There was Bourbon man,
And he had Bourbon gun,
And his bullets were made of chin.
He shot at Malone, but hurt himself alone,
Which made the people grin.

'Tis split in the middle, and rotten withal,
