SHALL POLITICAL MURDER BE REBUKED,

SHALL POLITICAL MURDER BE REBUKEDf
The murder OF Matthews at the polls in
Copiah county, Miss, cannot be too thor
oushly discussed. 1t was not an ordinary
killing; it was purely political, and with
out any pretext except that he had re-
called on him few days before and ordered
him not to vote, but ''to keep within his
own Enclosures" The murder is even more
significant from the fact that the ticket
he voted was composed wholly ofDemocrats,
with one exception. The aristocracy of the
South will not allow even an independent
another in that county for years Yet this
is in free America, and ostensibly under a
government of the people. We have already
alluded to the fact that not halfso many votes
were cast in the South for congressional
representatives as were cast in the North
In the Southern States the opposition do not
dare to vote at all, but they are
shot down like dogs, as Matthews was.
Another feature of this murder must not be
lost sight of-not Northern Democratic
politician or party paper has uttered one
word against it; but all are scheming to take
advantage of it at the next presidential cleo
ton. Perhaps they may succeed Twenty
five years ago the South was made solid by
the same agency by the same men, and for
the same purpose-to foster an aristocracy
in the South that should own the labor of
the land. The -unreconstructed shareholders
of that period are still the owners of the soil,
and they hold both the white and colored
laborers in more abject servitude than either
the poor while trash or the slaves were
then. Perhaps, again, as in 1856, there may
be trucking tools enough in Indiana to carry
the State in their interest as it WIS carried
then, but we shall never believe it until we
see it. This nation can no more exist half
free and half ruled by shotguns than
it could exist half free and half. slave.
The question could be settled now, and set
tied forever, by such a rebuke Of those meth

mocracy that while they uphold such poll
cy and propose to profit by it, they never
can be trusted by the men who put down the
rebellion. But will they receive such a re-
| buke? Everything looks in that direction,
and we shall not be surprised if a wave
of indignation sweeps over the entire North
as will forever deter the Democratic party
from extending the right hand of fellowship
to red-handed murderers. 1t may be that
there is no relief for the poor people of the
South; it may be they must submit for gener-
away. But the North will not indorse those
methods by joining hands with the muir
derers,

THE New York Sun cries aloud and spares
not If. possible it does not propose that its
party shall succeed in going before the coun-
try with a sham, and succeed by a palpa-
BILE falsehood The Democratic party has
deliberately chosen free trade and the Sun
insists that it shall stand honestly by what
it meant when il elected Mr.. Carlisle Speaker
The stuff and nonsense Of "a tariff for reve-
nue. the Sun dismisses with the contempt it
deserves That is merely a catch phrase for
gudgeons. There are only two principles
-one the principle of protection, and the
other the principle of free trade. The Re-
publican party stands for the protective
principle wisely, pnrposely, honestly
announced and applied; the Democratic
party stands for free trade, but endeavors
with its constitutional dishonesty, to hide its
real spirit behind all ambush of 'ncidenta
protection" as Mr.. Mcdonald now Mouths
it, in which he is followed by Mr. Warwick
Watterson. The New York Sun says:
"a tariff for revenue only honestly
framed, cannot have any protection in it at
all. Let us test this proposition. Ii You are
really after revenue only you will begin
by imposing a duty on tea and coffee. Moth
ing is more certain than that vast revenue
might be raised by such duty without pro-
tecting anybody. Again take iron and steel;
the present rates of duty are strictly protect
i've, because they prevent importation; but
ii you are after revenue only, you will cut
them down TO such an extent that forei gn
iron and steel can be brought in and a reve-

ever, will end all protection on iron and
steel; and it will also put an end to the iron
and steel manufacture in this country. But
why pursue the illustration further? A
tariff for revenue only is the opposite of a
tariff with incidental protection. All we
ask is that the people shall not be deprived
of the opportunity of deciding which they
will have. The practices of the ordinary
demagogue cannot be tolerated in this mo-
mentous crisis"

THE New York Sun is unreasonable to a
degree In view of the fact that bowling

Representative Joe Blackburn has one of the

vacated it to go over to the Senate promotion.
I thought it would be something of an augury
that I would be promoted too ii the gods that
rule over chance would put the desk within my
reach. The seat remained unchosen until my

this 1t may be inferred that Nr. Blackburn ex-

THE San Francisco Chronicle has been
studying Senator Voorhees, resolution de-
claring that public debt is not a public
blessing, and inveighing against the perpetu-
alton of any part of the national debt
any other purpose. At first blush the reso-
luton might be regarded as an attack upon
the national banking system, but the Chron-
icle does not so esteem it. 1t is rather a
covert, but effectual, opposition to the ideas
of the free-trade wing OF the Democratic
party, which looks to large reduction of
the revenues from tariff legislation. The
Chronicle goes on to say-and, speaking as a
leading exponent of the Pacific coast, the
electoral votes of which section are worth care
full consideration by political managers and
candidates, its remarks are of value;
''Many years ago Mr.. Voorhees, was a be-
lever in free trade. Of late he has become
convinced, under the discipline of the man
ufacturing interests of his State which have
grown into large proportions, that protection
is the true policy of the country. He made
speech to that effect a year or two ago at
Atlanta, Ga, and it is well known that he
presented this view to many members of the
last national Democratic convention, warning
them that the arifffor-revenue-only' plank
would defeat Hancock and elect the Republi-
can nominees. The platform, said Mr.. Voor-
hees is all right except that revenue-only
expression, which will lose us Indiana He
is still further quoted as saying that it does
not express the sense of The people any
where and God could not make a man with
sufficient wisdom to draft a tariff that would
produce revenue only and not protection to
the home interests out of which the reve-
nue. would be raised In short Voorhees, is
as good protectioniSt as Randall and Ran
dali is as sound on the question as 'Pig-iron'
Kelley.
at is all folly, therefore, to talk about the
possibility of the free-trade party carrying
the country without New York, and by gains
they are counting on in the Western and
Northwestern States. Ohio Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan and Wisconsin are as much in IA
vor of protection, and proportionately as
deeply interested in that policy, as New York
and Pennsylvania. And the State of New
Jersey will never cast its vote for a free
trade candidate for the presidency. If Car
Isle shapes his committees by placing free
trader like Morrison of Illinois, as chairman
OF the WAYS and means, and anothelfof the
like kind as chairman of the appropriations,
and If this policy shows itself in the House
and in the next.national Democratic eonven-
ton, there is no power on earth that can
save its nominees from overwhelming de-
feat. They will lose Virginia as we'll as New
York. Indiana and Ohio, and not State
north of the Potomac or west Of the Allie
ghenies will they carry. This we take it, is
the warning conveyed by the VOORHEES, reso-
luton"

up" the political situation very graphically in a
letter which the paper editOrialy commends TO its
readers. We reproduce it In full, verbatim:

is the situation of our Southern Democrats. We
have here to-. day repetition Of the folly of
1860, when our representatives insisted upon
the right to carry their slaves TO the Territories,
although there was not "a single man who had
any idea Of ever goihg to the Territories with his
negroes. We not only lost the right to carry
them to the Territories by onr folly then, but
lost them in the States. Aud now, III the face
of that fooishness, we repeat 1t in trying to re-
form the tariff when only have the House
and Senate, with the President dead against US.

CURIOUS romance comes from Charlotte, N.
Y. Twenty years ago there lived there "a GER
tain girl named Sarah Lyon, who had two
suitors, one Martin c. Battles and the other
Cornelius Lynch. They naturally entertained
hard feelings for each other, and finally young
Battles killed his rival. He was tried and con-
demned to be hanged, but escaped on tech
nicality. But that did not satisfy the guilty
man. His conscience tortured him to such a
degree that he bitterly inveighed AGAINST the
Court of Appeals that decided his sentence I'M
constitutional. To escape from the horror of his
thoughts, and toinvite death as a solution of his
troubles he enlisted in the army. He had not
the courage to commit suicide, and endeavored
to have the case against him reopened. so that
a death sentence might again be passed on him.
Failing in this he went insane, aud for fifteen
years has been an inmate of an asylum where
for fifteen years he constantly raved over his
crime, declaring that his victim was ever pres
ent with him. mOcking and torturing him in
many ways. He said he was doomed to live
forever, and to be externally punished by his
victim. Before he was twenty live his hair had
turned as white snow, and his appearance
was that of man of seventy. Death has at
last come to his relief. ..

to give recalcitrants a chance to get back,
traitors a chance to get out and towards a
chance to get place without exposure. The
black flag is up. No quarter will be asked
and no quarter will be given. The differ
ence, where it is honest, is one of conviction;
where it is not, so much the worse forit
Even Mr.. Blaine sees it, and is trimming his
sails to catch the breeZes of free trade which
are blowing fresh currents of life and
thought from thousand colleges, academies
and schools"
Mr.. Watterson proceeds;
"The Democratic party, except in the per-
sons of imbeciles hardly worth mentioning,
is not upon the fence. 1t is a free-trade
party, or it is nothing. 1t is party OF re-
form, or it is nothing. But, when we come
to the business of directly applying its ener-
gies and its resources to real affairs, we find
fatal absence of courageous and pointed
leadership and the most whimsical spirit of
vacillation in the great men who represent 1T
here in the national capital. And yet, even
here, there are men of sufficient imaglna-
ton, will and force to conceive the situation
and put it to account"
Not many months ago, then Mr.. Waiter
son had a perfect contempt for revenue re-
formers" while now he is bawling at the top
of his voice that any one who is not "a reve-
nue. reformer' is fool, liar, villain, and
any number OF other things according to
the Nashville Banner. The Republican
party can well afford to stand off and let the
row proceed. IT is a very pretty quarrel as
it stands, and it is entirely confined to the
Democracy, and to the Carlisle Democracy,
who are for free trade, but are trying to hide
behind the ample proportions of Mr.. Voor-
hees and his fellow protection Democrats.
