WAsHIN0r0N, d. e., November IS.
--Dispstches from the South show an
excited condition Of pablie feeling.
A dispatch from North Carolina says
that the BouTbOns celebrated there By
shouting for JEFF Davis. Some Of the
leading men South have deemed e
necessary 70 write here dlsavoWing
those demonstrations The Stars and
Stripes were torn down in Richmond,
the government building was stoned
In Frankfort, KY, and ietter-carrieH
were attacked In Baltimore. Letters
have been received here from thoss
places stating that these cutrages
were committed only by drunken
men. A Richmond letter says that
city viii defend the American nag
a. loyalty a. any Northern city can,
while q Democrat from the state Of
Kentucky has thought Il worth while
to write that Il is not the purpose Of
the Kentucky Democrats to assassin
ate the Republican of8ce-hOldeFs or 10
destroy public property. An attempt
is being made In Baltimose to make
lt appear that the letteF-caTriers cut
their own clothes and assaulted them
selves in order to appear martyrs.
Notwithstanding this, the postmaster
Of Baltimore, in reply to an Official
inquiry by the pcstmastergenefal has
reported that the assaults upon the
letteF-carFiers occurred substantially
as before reported that they were
made by a Democratic mob, and that
In consequence Of them he was CON-
PEELED for two days 10 stop the deliv-
cry Of the late afternoon mail, as he
did not dare 10 trust the carriers on
the street after dark with the mail.
A Baltimore lawyer says that Il is q
fact that a crowd Of what they call
the broom gang entered the court
room Of United States Judge Bond in
Baltimore the other day with their
brOoms above their shoulders shout
ing, "Clean the Fascals Out!" when
Judge Bond ordered them into eusto-
dy. The bailiR being unable 10 do it,
Judge Bond left the bench himself,
seized two Of them, ordered the iron
doors Of the building closed, and COM
mitted several OF the dlsturbers Of the
peace 10 jail, where they now are.
CINCINNATI CoAIMERCIAL-GAZETT
The question as to the way the Sol
Id South takes the election Of her can
didate 10 the presidency Is one Of
absorbing interest
The answer that comes by telegraph
In the newspapers and by private
letters, and the reports of travellers, Is
that the excitement in the South is
something wonderful. Il surpasses
in its intensity and universally any
thing that has happened in the way
Of popular demonstration since that
in the North at the surrender Of
Lee.
In Virginia il Is the public boast
that peace hath her victories not less
renowned than war, and that Apo
mRttOx Is avenged.
They propose to SOuthernize the
North. They do not seem to see the
senate In the way Of their taking i'm
mediate possession of the powers and
the prOvender Of the government.
The colOred people Of the South are
terrified, and this terror extends to
the race In the North. The readiness
with which those were slaves believe
that they are to be sold again into
slavery, Is pitiful. Many Of them
have been subjected TO unfeellng tests
on the subject, and their abject alarms
have been Knocked by the brutal
wretches who have imposed upon
them.
Confederate shouts for JEFF Davis
and all the leaders in the rebellion,
have been ringing throughout the
South, and the parade of rebel eOlors
and singing of rebel songs, accOmpa-
MED by the foulest aspersiOns upon
all who have been the friends in
times Of trial Of American nationality
have been the features of Southern
rejoicing.
A friend who has been travelling In
the South tells us that a favOrite cere-
mOny Of amusement has been holding
of mock auctions, in which colOred
people were brought TO the block and
bid OFF i'm old style with rOars Of dew
ilish laughter-an awful joke upon
the poor black people.
The teachers OF schools for cOlOred
children have been greatly disturbed,
net 80 much at what has been done as
by fears what might happen when
men ride Ku Klux fashiOn-thOugh
no more in disguise, as they regard
tueiuhelNcs lie iaWiul tuhsleIs Ol kuS
land
POstmasters and federal officers gen.
orally in the South have received
warnings. Many pOstOf1ices are al
ready marked by the firing of pistols
in Democratic festivities. Indeed,
the popping Of firearms has been
heard ali over the Solid South, and
there has been more Southern pow
der burned over the election Of Cleve-
land than in the assaults at Gettys-
burg.
There is a reign Of terror in the
South, and the chances are that the
black people will flee I'm enormous
numbers from the gulf states across
the Mississippi, and that the whites
who are not inclined to enter the tor
rent Of barbarism and float with It
