From the Nelson County Examiner
Blatant IncendiariSm.

We call the attention of every thoughtful
white man to the subjoined article from the
Richmond Wing, the personal organ OF the
Malone Radicals in Virginia. 1t is the
malignant venom of the men who proposed
ssto lead Africa into the war" against white
civilization some years ago, and who will,
if it will pay, lead it in the threatened war
of races in the South. In view OF the con-
duct of the Sherman committee and the
Malone witnesses examined by 1t. it mani
festlv has the sanction of, and was inspired
by. the leaders of the ''Bloody Shirt radi-
calls of the North and West, and is the
spawn of Mahone's hate of the white gen.
tiemen in this State. Malone, Wise, and
Sims are likely to be high in command with
lieutenants from the counties here and
there. Do these men suppose that the
white men of Virginia have so far lost their
manhood, that they have become SO abject,
so chicken-hearted, so spiritless as to tame
ly submit to such outrageous insults? Let
them remember, that it is not for them who
raise the wind to always control the result
ant whirlwind. Forbearance may yet cease
to be virtue, and when the new civil wal
begins, if not before, these gentry may rest
assured, that the aohte leaders aoiU fall first,
unless, as is to be expected, and as it is
usually, they be found at safe distance
| in the rear. The impudence, the insolence
and the righteousness Of such utterances
are astounding for even Mahoneism.
Malone and his crew of incendiaries are
now in Chicago as delegates to the Repub
lican National Convention, called to nomi
nate a candidate for the Presidency, who
will be expected, if elected, or if thrust in
to the office by fraud, to call out the Fed
eraI army to fight for the freedom ant
equality, in this civil war, threatened speed
lily by the Malone organ of the prescribed
and slain white and black Republicans"
"The negro is again to be the ostensiblt
ISSUE" says this Danton-the white Ma
honeites, the real parties to be ''proscribse
and SIAN" Well, let hin, make the issue
He has made it What says every decen
and respectable white man in Virginia ant
in the South?
OUR NEXT CIVIL WAR.
"The next civil war is not far off, unless
efficient steps be promptly taken to aver
it. The Wing is no alarmist; it merely in
terprets the obvious significance of what al
of lis can see and hear. just as surely al
like causes produce like effects, just so sure
ly will the same passions and performanc es
bring on war in 1884-'S5 as they did il
1960-61. The same old Bourbon temper il
abroad in the South. The negro is again
| the ostensible issue. The fire-eater of 1860
81 takes tho field now as the bully and bull
dozer. Ignore it as we may, the stubborn
fact persistently confronSs Us, that, in on,
way or another, and speedily, tie yhol'
fight for freedom, and equality must b.
fought over again. No effort can hide thi
bloody-shiTt. The outrage mills are in full
blast, from Virginia to Louisiana. Dan
vile, Copiah, and Iberia, Iouisiana), gree
each other. Fraud and force are in arms
Tho white and black Republicans alike arr
prescribed and slain. Impunity has swol
len Bourbonism with even more than it
old overbearing intolerance, insolence, ant
violence. Forbearance las encouraged
atrocity Upon atrocity. The easy and rapi(
descent into the pip Of civil war has be
