The DanyiiIe Rists.

The Republican papers are filled
with indigr alton because the Demo
cratic journals neglect to get right up
and howl over the alleged outrages
upon the negroes at Danville, Va, on
the eve of the late election in that
State. The evidences are unmistaka-
BILE in this matter that the Republican
managers are engaged in desperate
effort to inaugurate "bloody shirt !"
campaign for 1884. But the evidence
shows conclusively that the stories
about the alleged outrages and intimi-
dation as published by the Republican
papers of the North, are wholly unre-
liable.
The Committee of forty appointed
to Investigate the facts connected with
the affair, having spent over week
in obtaining proof in regard thereto,
and upon careful consideration of the
M ter, declare that the blacks are the
az essors. Thep declare that "no
violence, threat. or intimidation what.
ever was shown towards negroes OF

such voters were repeatedly assured
by citizens, policemen and military
officers sent to Danville by the Cover.

What great task is assigned to wo-
man, its dignity cannet be elevated. 1t
is not her province to make laws, to
lead armies, nor to be at the head of
great enterprises, but to her is given
the power to form those by whom the
laws are made, to teach the leaders OF
mighty armies, and the governors of
vast empires. She is required to guard
against having the slightest taint of
bodily infrmity touch the frail crea-
ture, whose moral, intellectual and
physical being is derived from her.
She must instill correct principles, in
culcate right doctrines, and breathe
! into the soul of her offspring those pure
sentiments which iD time to come will
be part of themselves, and bless gen
erations as yet unborn. Yes, to wo-
man is given the blessed privilege OF
aiding the sufferer in all the various
stages of his existence. She smiles
serenely at the christening, and weeps
at the burial, while she soothes the be-
reaved heart. This is her province
and duty. Yet how can she fulfill hel

Last Tuesday was day of cleo
tons. Massachusetts,, Minnesota,
Maryland and New Jersey each cleo
ted governor. A number of other
states elected legislatures only. The
contest in Massachusetts, between
Butler and Robinson bid fair to be
very sharp and close. Buffers plu-
ralty last year was 14,000, but this
year it is quite uncertain how the re-
suit will terminate. The sharpest
and most holly contested fight
promised to take place in Virginia,
where only a legislature was to be
elected. It has been predicted for
some weeks that in this. fight, Ma
hone would be utterly routed, but
this, we fear is too good to believe.
The contest in New York and Penn
sy'vania is also creating much ankle
ty. These elections of course, are
now all over, but it is impossible
yet, to give the result. Our readers
can not know. therefore, unti' the

ally requi' es some days to determine

The question of tariff continues to
be the all-absorbing theme of dis
cussion by the newspapers. 1t is ev-
ident that the masses of the people
residing in the United States are IA
vorable to tariff for revenue only,
affording such protection as may
arise Incidentally. The Atlanta Con-
stitution is engaged in the hopeless
task Of advocating free trade, but in
this it will have its labor for lis
pains. Certainly the Constitution
can not hope to convert anybody to
its way of thinking. Free trade
means direct taxation 70 support the

to the Evening News "Gen Robert
Toombs was baptised and admitted
into the Methodist church roll of
members by Bishop Pierce last Sun

was after his usual splendid style

of the new member, scarcely a dry
eye could have been found in the
house, so great was the joy felt by
the people when they knew that our

he stood by his brother during the
ceremonies is we'll worth ones mem
