FESTIVE Southern. Democrats.

, 1Ibe Charleston NetCS and Courier, the
strongest of the Democratic papers in
South Carolina, confesses that there is
q restive Democratic element in the
South, but says it is too early to deter
mine whether or not Malone will bo-
come the leader of this class. It does
not matter whether Malone or another
is leader, SO there is a division among
the whites of the South, and the freed
man becomes an object of honest solic-
itude to all parties. We confess that
this condition of political felicity has
been SO often prophesied, and has so
often resulted in oppressive acts special
" fendish toward the unfortunate col
ored Republicans. that we are incrcdu-
lOus Of the nearness of auy very pro-
nounced change in sentiment in that
section. If it shall prove that we are
mistaken in this, there shall be none
more thankful or more ready to extend
encouragement. But it must not be
forgotten that there has been n radical
difference in the methods of political
education followed in the two sections
for more than o hundred years. The
errors Of four generations led to the re-
bellion, and one generation is hardly
sufficient to effect very genial change.
The lessons of history forbid US to ex-
poet any such thing.
The change will be in degree equal
to the advancement of the Southern
people in general education. Com
merce will do more, perhaps, for the
whites than for the blacks, and it is
certainly the most important element
in the work of education at present
BY association and the friction OF barter
the rough corners of sectionalism will
be worn of. new ideas will find lodg-
ment, and the Southern mind will
lose something of the narrowness Pc
culiar to BOurbouism. The Nation
will increase in proportion as the
State decreases. The exclusiveness
which has SO long stood in the way of
progress in the South is not peculiar to
the Democratic mind. We are assured
upon the very best authority, namely.
OF Southern-born white Republicans,
that natives, OF whatever class, look
with suspicion upon all strangers. The
citizens of East Tennessee, devoted
Unionists during the war and Republic
ans since, do not welcome with cordial
ity new citizens from any other section
or country. This is due entirely to the
fact that they have not mingled with
the people of other sections-have not
travelled. have not encountered tho
Yankee upon his native hills. In
creased railroad facilities and inn
proved commerce will gradually revolu-
tionize this.
We do not underestimate the good
that q brave man like Malone can do.
We hope that his alliance with the coll
ored people of Virginia, by which they
are protected in their right to vote, will
drive BourboniSm from that State, and
set such an example of justice as to
speedily revolutionize the States further

POLITICAL BREvITIES.

DSThe soaring eloquence OF the
gifted Southern Senators would have
more effect did it not fly so far above
well.established facts.
I6rIf it hadn't been for this extra
session of the Senate the world would
never have known what an innocent,
guile.ess thing the Democratic party is.
nNcThe Democrats who are standing
around with their hands in their pockets
waiting to see split in the Republican
party will get pretty hungry before they
perceive it.
A&This prolonged Senate debate is
slightly entertaining. and, in partisan
sense, it is good thing for the Re-
publican party. Free speech from
Southern statesmen is always Demo-
cratic misfortune.
~ Senator Butler is said to be heavi-
ly loaded with . speech in defense of
political methods in South Carolina.
He ought to know something about
them, for he is chiefly famous for his
leading part in one of the worst speci-
mems Of them.
16rH Malone had not repudiated
the Democratic party, his .'readjuster"
sentiments would not look quite so
black TO Lamar, and Ben Hill, and 9TH
ers representing constituencies which
have long gloried in Reputation in its
most dishonest forms. Ciicago Inter-
Ocean.
D~ Suppose Malone had gone into
the Democratic caucus and had voted
with the Democratic Senators. would
the world ever have heard any of this
strident Democratic horror of Mahone's
financial principlesP Isn't the party of
Garcelon and Landers developing its
rghteousindignation at irregular finance
o little late?
SSenator Lamar says the South
ais solid in defense of its own civiiiza-
tion." Precisely! That is just what
| the North charges it with. But the
Senators must understand that the civ
ilization which keeps poor whites in
| ignorance and harrows the blacks un-
der its inherited barbarism has no
place in this country, and sooner or
later must go to the wall.-Dctroit Post
and Tribune.
ES When Senator Edmunds informed
the sue-ballot operators OF South Car
olina that they must undergo the in
convenience Of allowing every man one
vote" if they wished to draw new peo-
pie within their borders, he uttered a
great truth which it behooves them to
ponder well. So long as every man
who refuses to vote the Democratic
ticket in the South Is prosecuted and
denounced, Just so long will immigra-
tion hold aloof from that section. All
the bitter talk in the world about North
ern partisanship and sectional animosity
will avail no;hing.-N Y Tribune.
