JOSEPH Cook does not seem to have profit
ed by his experience with the raw-beef man
last winter. Speaking of Governor Butler, he
says:
81 should say that Butler was a story and

altitude. So far as 1 know he is a man OF
correct personal habits but he is a DOM
ineering, acute, pugnacious demagogue. He

he is defeated. He is likely to be heard from

He will, indeed be heard from yet; and the
reverend philosopher will &c the first to re-
ceive authentic news.

THE DANvILLE MURDERERs.

The members of the grand jury at Dan
vile have stultified themselves, and have not
succeeded in removing the riot stains from
the garments OF their fellow-citizens. After
a wo-days' inves tigation of the circumstances
of the recent massacre, they report that they
have no presentments to make, There is a
pal pable inconsistency here. 1t has been
urged that the colored Republicans we're the
aggressors; that they precipitated trouble and
forced the fighting. Taking Bourbon evil
dence as good, it is evident that the negroes
were guilty of a very grave offense against
the peace and dignity of the Common wealth
of Virginia, and for that reason
the grand jury failed in its duty when it did
not cause their indictment and arrest There
is but one possible explanation: it may be
that all the guilty colored men were killed
in the fight, and that none of the guilty ones
remain above ground to answer in the flesh.
1t will appear to unprejudiced minds that
lieve that the bloody score was evenly wiped
out; and, if it was not, why is it that the
offending colored men are not brought TO
book? 1t cannot be argued that the
white population is afraid to ar
rest men whom they were not
afraid to shoot. The work of the
Danville grand jury is farce and its report
burlesque of sincerity No sane man, I'M
biased by partisan prejudice, but will realize
at once that the courts OF Virginia have been
made mockery by this travesty of justice
1t was charged that the colored race pro-
voked a riot aud a dozen of them were
assassinated IN the streets of Danville, and yet
no one is to blame and not one indictment is
returned. Still, Democratic politicians would
ask the public to believe that no injustice is
done the people of the late slave States on
account of race or political belief.
