William E. Chambers SANDER Of the
South.

South.
WILLIAM T.. CHANDLER is regarded at the
South as the worst specimen OF an unprin-
cipled politician the North has produced IN
this generation. JOHNNY DAVENPORT is an
angel TO him. He has for years adhered to
the fortunes Of Mr.. BLAINE, no doubt for
selfish purposes, and on that account was
nominated by Mr. GARFIELD for Solicitor.
General against the protest OF Attorney
General MACVEAGH. II has not been pub
ljshed as vet that any senators representing
southern constituencies voted for his con-
firmstion except Senators KELLOGG aud
MALONE. In order to ayenge himself on
the South for its condemnation OF bis course
in organizing and carrying out the high
handed theft Of the vote OF Florida from
Mr.. TnDEN be has offered in the New
Hampshire Legislature preamble and res
olutions from which the following is an ex-
tract:
.'That in republic the right to free
ballot i the right preseTYalive OF all rights,
and must and shall be maintained In every
portion OF the United States. 10 the Ameri-
can republic southern shareholders began Il
bloody civil war in order to strengthen,
perpeiuate, and extend human bondage.
Northern freemen, at the cost Of 100000
loyal lives and $4,000, 100000, suppressed
The rebellion, abolished slavery, and gave the
emancipattd citizens the right TO free bal.
lot. Unrepentent southern reDels asSsiIed
that right, and by Intimidation, lerrolizing,
and numerous systematic election practices
MAJ AZ 40 ali
political power from loyal voters and gave
II solely aud unrestrainedly 10 rebels
fresh from the slaughter OF Union sol.
ders on the battlefield, fCtaining by fraud
and violence the power which they first
gained by murder. IL is the first, highest,
aud most sacred duty Of the National Gov.
eInment 10 prosecute and punish them for
their crimes against the suffrage with the
utmost yigOr under all existing laws; OF
the National Congress 10 enact other and
more effective statutes for the peace and
purity OF national elections, and OF the
whole people, by every possible means, Ia
demand, secure, and maintain for every
citizen the right TO freely east and have
honestly counted bis ballot; which, thus
made effective, will preserve TO bin every
other right Of American citizenship"
No wonder that Independent northern
Journals like the Springfield Republican
have promptly denounced this Infamous
effort to stir up strife between the people
OF the North and South. Well may TIT
Repgblicda say "only CHANDLER, smariine
llndeF the blows Of 1878, could have writ
ten such CORY and sensational paragraph
in this year Of our Lord 1881, when the
nation stands united In the peace OF laM
and the sections are knit by the tender
bonds Of unselhsh sympathy. There is nc
provocation for the utterance, and no ex'
PLANTATION can be given for this rude assas-
sinatlon OF The tranquility OF the hour, save
as It Is foupd In the malicious egotism Of a
small mind broodIng over righteously-
administered rebuke"
Every souiherner should rejoice to know
that CHANDLER is not now Solicitor General
for the reason that JOHNSTON, LAMAR, BAY
ARD, Brown, HILL, RANSOM, VANCE, and, IN
fact, every other Democratic senator from
the North or the South voted with vim
against bis confirmation. Mr. C0NKLISG, Of
course, voted against him because he was
the trusted bencbman OF bis distinguished
rival, Mr. BLAINE.
