the act of E. B. Wheeler, who admitted
his crime, and the same assemblage of citi.
zens resolved that the negroes there must
never again organize to oppose the political
aspirations of any of the Democratic party,
and if they do, certain and swift retribu-
ton will follow" This same meeting, held
after the election, made no effort to bring
the murderer to justice, and the Coroner,
w. M. Robertson, declared it was not
necessary to take testimony at the inquest,
since Wheeler confessed the killing The
murder was without provocation or the
slightest excuse whatever, and was done to
intimidate the negro voters, and did have
that effect The publication of these facts
is called "waving the bloody shirt"
So, too, regarding the Danville outrage.
1t is fact, even if we admit that Malone
address exaggerates the story, that diff
Guilty provoked by the whites day or two
prior to the election resulted in the killing
of several negroes and the wounding of
many more, and OF the 1879 registered
negro voters, but %, as result, put in an
appearance at the polls. The likelihood of
a riot was whispered about for weeks be-
fore the election, and cartoons were pub
lished to influence the whites against the
colored voters.
Tn oFbar Seakiopc ba cru
raised and "fights" and "shootings !"
were plentiful, and the desired effect &C.
complished exclusion of the negroes
from the polls. The Richmond State, Just
before the election, significantly warned
the negroes that, to be Independent, would
prove disaster to them, and since the
election it has also significantly said !:
The negro has now another opportunity
before him in which to better his condi-
ton, unless he prefers to take up with
other white renegades thst may come
along. It is to his interest to live in har-
mony with the white race of Virginia. "
The meaning of these sentences is appa-
rent, and even the dulled intellect of the
ex.slaves of Virginia will comprehend the
reading between the lines. The Augusta
(Ga,) Chronicle says that distinguished
Southern gentleman predicts that within
four years there will be bloody war be-
tween the whites and the blacks in all the
South Who believes such thing? The
story is concocted to aid the settled scheme
to intimidate the black voters,
A volume of testimony might be cited
establishing the fact that the negro voter
is being intimidated at many points in the
South. These are not campaign tictions.
They are clearly proven facts. And yet
there has been no Incorporate denunciation
of the South by the Northern press as
result. 1t has protested with vigor, but
has been patient. There has been no wav.
ing of the bloody shirt. If that CORY
witness is introduced into the campaign of
1884 the South will alone be responsible.
1t is an encouraging sign that there are
men and journals in the South, however,
courageous enough to denounce the re-
newal of the bulldozipg policy, and to warn
the political "bosses that the South is
not unit in its favor

WARRINGTON TERRITORY.
Stranger Found Gead.

SEATTLE, December 31.-Word reached
here Saturday of a case Of suicide on Green
river, on claim adjoining the farm owned
By George Simpson. the facts are: Some
time last summer middle-aged man arrived
here from San Francisco. and either bought
or was located Oh a piece of land adj lining
George Simpson, by the latter's brother. The
newcomer desired to visit San Francisco q
few weeks ago. and previous TO his departure,
it is stated, gave all his provisions TO Simpson
and his brother George. He returned by the
Elder few days sgo and went upoa his land,
and nothing occurred to arouse suspicion that
he contemplated taking his own life. The
body of the unfortunate man was found about
ten days ego lying On the road between his
place and that of Simpsons. The informant
states thai George Simpson, who is a Justice
OF the Peace, impaueled jury, who rendered
a verdict of suicide. There seems to be some
question of the Justices authority to hold the
inquest and there is suspicion that the man
did not die by his own hand.

Sacramento might we'll set the State an
example by the adoption of an ordinance
something like the law of the State of New
York, which reads:
"a person who sells, lends gives away or offers
to give away, shows, or has in his possession,
with intent to sell give away, or to show, adj
vertses otherwise offers for loan, gift sale dis
tributiou an obscene indecent book writing, pa
per, picture, drawing photograph, any article
or instrument of indecent or immoral use, or who
designs, copies, draws, photographs, otherwise
prepares such book, picture, drawing, or other
article writes, prints, causes to be written
printed, circular, advertisement, notice Of
any kind gives information orally, stating when,
where how, or by whom, or by what means, such
an indecent or obscene article thing be pur-
chased or obtained, is guilty OF a misdemeanor."
Public attention is now thoroughly
aroused all over the country relative to the
sale of flash literature. The decisions in
New York, Illinois, Georgia, Virginia,
Alabama and other Southern States prove
that thsse laws can be enforced
This city by its charter has ample
power to enact such law and there are
enough people in favor of decencY in this
city to furnish the moral back. bone to
secure its enforcement. By this action we
would set an example that would certainly
become State wide, and that would do this
people lasting honor. We really would
like to see the person who would venture
without blush to defend the practices
such law would condemn, or advocate
Iba axros,ra ;,Jaoan+ sb,ats and Naeb
journals, and other indictments to crime and
dishonor, and the sale and circulation of
the pictorial denominations that now offend
the eye on the street and tend to poison
the minds and corrupt the morals OF youth.
Such person would be of value to a mu-
scum as living exemplitcation of a moral
monster This city, by police regulation,
compels the disreputable women of the
back streets to hide their faces behind
closed doors, that they may not shock SEN
sitive souls upon the street and lure the
unreasonable into their nets. But there
is less to be feared from such contaminat-
ing influences than from the lewd illus
trated journals Of which any boy or any
girl may become possessed; far less injury
to morals of youth from the harlots of the
slums than from the insidious poison of the
criminal papers that gloss crime with ro-
nance to stimulate the baser passions.
Impure matter of this class has sent more
boys to ruin, desolated more homes, oftener
robbed purity OF its virtue, sent upon the
street more wrecks, and contributed more
largely to people prisons, than the bsgnios
and bawdy houses. l. is gratifying to
know that New York City is moving to the
suppression Of the oifense named. The
Tribune frankly says: New York is the
iountain-head of this corrupsing traffic,
aud we owe it to the rest of the country to
choke the poisonous stream at its source ii
