A SOUTHERN woman writes from New
York to the Constitutionalist, Of Augusta,
Ca, that she and other Southern women have
found means Of earning an honorable liveli-
hood there, and then she goes on to say
zone other thing has surprised me--that, not
withstanding the hardshps they undergo and
the longing for home and friends, not one
young lady who has come here to do and
dare desires to live in the South again. And
right here lies the cardinal difference between
the two parties Of the country: Here you are
well paid for your work, and no one thinks
less of you for earning your own bread In
the South the knowledge that a woman works
for her own living puts her to some extent in
circle aside"

An Archaeological Candidate.

The democratic press persists in an insane
endeavor to transform itself into galvanlc
battery with tho ultimate object Of resusci-
tating that elegant and aristocrstic fossil, Mr..
Tilden, front name Samuel and middle name
Jones. It is beginning to dawn upon the
public that the democratic press is indulging
in requiescdt IN pace sort Of humor.
II will be remembered that Mr.. Tilden was
once the venerable standard bearer Of the
democracy in a presidential campaign, and 1t
will also bo remembered that Mr.. Tilden was

eral months of determined effort, Che de-
mocracy only succeeded in recovering a
cipher telegram. The remainder of Mr.. Til
den's remains remain so far below tho po-
litical surface that it would take nine
mules and a derrick eight cycles to lift
him into sight. 1t may be very funny, but
the democratic press should remember that it
is very unkind to Mr.. Tildon's relatives
to drag him out Of his woll-earned grave.
The cemetery of the past is filed with
leaders as great as ever was the sage of Gram

and lots of other personages no moro

Ikukluxism on Long Island.

The story told in yesterdays dispatches
persecution of Horace White, negro, is of
sort to make one rub the eyes and look again
to verify tho date line, both as to
time and place. White is q negro who
was recently married at Greenport, on
Long Island to Stella Sinclair, young
white woman. "After their marriage" says
leave Greenport, the young men Of the village
having made it too warm for them to remain.
Nothing daunted, they made their way to
Brooklyn and took up their abode at Crow
hill, near the Flatbush asylum. They were
driven from their retreat at Grow hill by the
colored residents, who would not tolerate the
bride among them. Since then the two have
lived in small hut in tho outskirts of
Jamaica. Last night party of fifteen
young men, among whom were three negroes,
headed by drum and fife, and armed with a
fence rail and pot of tar and feathers, visited
Whites abode after midnight, with the inten-
tion of assaulting him. When they reached
the hut they found it deserted. White
and his wifo had gained knowledge of
what was about to take place and had fed"
If this had occurred in one of the states of
the south, it would have passed for a charac-
teristic ebulliton of an unfortunate race feel
ing and might, If any especial notice had
been taken Of IL, have been set down to the
account Of that curious code Of moral and
social ethics which in tho south is sup
posed to riso beyond tho law and
vest in whomsoever may be disposed to as
sumo ii an undisputed right to regulate by
violence whatever may cut across the general
notion ofpropriety, good taste, or class feeling.
1t is precisely tho kind of outrage which has
been made the subject of the most severe criti-
cism which large proportion OF the northern
people have been accustomed to pass upen
the social order of the south.
1t is preferable to assume that the young
men of these places were of tho lower and
more turbulent sort. 1t is not to be supposed
that they represent any considerable proper
tion of the communities in which they be-
long. But the fact that such thing could
occur in one of the most populous and
thoroughly governed localities of the north
arrests attention in most unpleasant man
ner, and suggests a question as to just how
far some of the northern people have pro.
crossed since the war.
There is no question as to the reason why
this pair are being prosecuted. The man is
