YAZOOLAMAR!

Are the Democrats of the country-we
were about to say of the Nation-ashamed
of Yazoo? To this inquiry the outside
world may say yes Possibly it may be so.
And looking all the field over we must de-
clare that we think the Democrats of Knox
vile, of Tennessee, of the entire country
are really ashamed of the doings of the
Democrats of ZazOO.
But, we are equally compelled to say that
too many are ashamed of YaZOO and its
doings, not because of what has been done,
but because it has been found out.
That the Mississippi plan" meant from
the beginning, that by shotgun intimida-
tons, by shooting prominent Republicans
of that State to death, the masses who voted
the Republican ticket could be silenced and
coerced to vote the Democratic ticket, is
now an open secret, known and read of all
men, to whom the story of Dixon's assassi-
nation by Barksdale has become known ;
aye to all men in every Christian land, who
have read of the horrible tale of Chisolm's
massacre, and innocent, sweet Cornelia's
martyrdom What is the result? The
answer comes in thunder tones from every
| ballot-box from Maine to the Pacific Ocean.

SENATOR MORGAN.
Januar 6, 1880.

Senator Morgan has a son to whom he
has given the position of clerk of the COM
mittee Of which he is chairman, and this
son has an Unsavory record.
We have DO means Of verifying the first
extract, which is said to have been written
sixteen years ago, few months alter the
close Of tie war
The recond, from the CHRONICLE of No
vembcr ii, 1879, is 80 9arbled as to bear
little resemblance to The editorial from
which it is taken. We publish the editorial
in FIJI elsewhere, in order that the two may
be compared.
That pmport'0g to be from the CHRoN1-
Gle of November 2G, 1879, is not in that
issue at al, nor anything bearing any
resemblance o it.
The extracts bearing date February IA
1880, and March "A, 1880, are from the let
tiers of correspondents as elsewhere explain
ed, and not from editorials at all. Nearly
every one of these EXTRACTS" are so gar
bled as to pervert their meaning. The
whole thing is the work of bungling, I'm
sllupulous bastard and poltroon, with
heart mean enough for any sort of dirty
work, but too craven to assume the respon
siD'lity for the act.

SENATOR BENJAMIN HILL.

We know of no one who can more ap
propriasely defend the copperheads of the
Nol tn than Mr.. Hill. He was a non-com-
ba,ent himself. He did what he could to
get others to face Yankee bullets, but took
good care of his own person. He at last
landed in Fort Lafayette, at the close of the
war, where he whiningly plead for clemency,
giving as a reason why he should be len
iently dealt with, that he had on one occa-
sion, in personal encounter with VIM. L.
1ancey, punished that gentleman very Sc
verely. This is his idea of manhood. We
repeat, he is the great Southern Senator
| who above all others may appropriately
| appear as spokesman and champion of the
Northern Copperheads.

The Michigan horror is one which will
appeal to every heart, and it is hoped to
pocket books also. A large district has
been entirely burned over and thousands
of people have lost everything, crops,
houses, stock, timber, all that they possess
ed are gone and they have to meet the
winter homeless and destitute It was a
newly settled country and as yet the set
tiers had had no opportunity Of laying
anything aside; their all was contained in
their houses and stock, and that all is des-
troyed. Besides many a wife looks in
vain for the husband on whose strong arm
she relied; many a. child lacks the
father who protected and fed it. The hus-
band can not look his hard labor so fear
lessly in the face now that he is not sup
ported by the loving words of wife: he
has not the same incentive now that no
little ones look to him for support. 1t
is terrible tale, this of the Huron fire and
unless help and bouutiful help is soon sent
one half of the suffering has not yet been
told. To see your loved ones perish in the
devouring flames is bad enough, but to
have them die Of hunger is worse. A man
can lose his property with composure If
there is any hope of regaining it or part
of it. When the loss means starvation is
when it becomes maddening,

ANOTHER SCHUYLER coLFAx.

IF there is any doubt as to what place in
the social economy Mr.. r. B. Hayes would
occupy after leaving the White House, thai
doubt is now removed His future is to be
like Schuyler Colfax's past; that is to say
Schuyler Colfax's past since the proof OF
his bride talking and perjury brought hin
into general contempt
We do not undertake to establish par
allel between Hayes and Colfax. There are
many points of difference. In natural
ability Colfax is Hayes's superior. He was
elected Vice President; Hayes was not cleo
ted President. There is no similarity il
their respective offences One, while hon
estly holding Office, used it dishonesty, and
then called God to witness the truth of G
falsehood. The other achieved dishonor By
consenting to become the representative and
beneficiary OF gang of forgers, perjurers
and thieves. 1t is not until the two careers
reach the point where disgrace and hypoc.
risy are struggling against oblivion thai
they begin to run side by side.
For about eight years, in enforced retire
ment at South Bend. Indiana, SCHUYLER
Colfax has been snivelling his profess
against the nations verdict on his sins.
Hayes, at Fremont, Ohio, has been pursu.
ing for several months the same line Oh
defence. He begins well, for he has the
advantage of the others long experience,
besides his own natural aptitude for this
sort of thing. The method is simple

The train robbery on the Alton road fol-
lowing so quickly that on the Rock Island
should suggest to most geople that we are
having a trifie too much of this sort OF
thing. One or two effective defeats OF
such attempts would do more to effect this
end than dozen offers of rewards end
Governors proclamations. How ten OF
twelve men, and the bands of robbers gen.
orally are still smaller than that, should
succeed in covering train full of -passen
gers, is strange and wonderful thing
Half Of the men who travel are armed, and
if they would only carry revOlvers that art
large and good enough to be of some prac-
teal use, instead of little pea-shooters, and
have the nerve aad pluck to use them
train robberies would be scarcer article
in the market. A bullet through the head
would do more to teach a Missouri bandit
the error of his ways than a hundred ser
mons.
