THE OUTRAGE INVESTIGATIONS.

Those who desire to BE- intelligent upon
an important matter of current history,
should keep in view from day to day the
testimony being evoked by the investiga
ton into the Danville (Va) riot q, and
the Copiah lNiiss.) outrages. In the mouth
of not only many colored but white wit
nesses, it mas been shown that men in Mis-
sissippi have been driven from the country
at the mouth of the pistol by political
mobs have been logged for political
opinions sake until brought to deaths
door; have been shot down at their own
hearthstones because they engaged in po-
Htical campaigns, and SO on through long
and bloody and unvarying chapter of
cruelty. So, too, pit is made perfectly clear
that the negro citizens of Danville were on
q mere pretexs of fear fired upon by polit.
ic5l opponents, and shot down in the
streets like dogs, and so intimidated that
the next day they did not dare to ap.
proach the election polls Now this is not
fancy, nor Imaginative writing, but cold,
cruelty cold, testimony givea under oath,
and in some part by witnesses who were
guilty of the outrages. OF course it will
be said " this Is waving the bloody shirt
Then by ali means let 1t be waved. That
sanguinary garment should be Haunted
against the sky increasingly, if it viii Sc.
cure to citizens, black and white, the right
o! free thought, free speech and free ballot,
North and South. We have not the faint
est concern in this matter how the negro of
the South VIII vote-but have weigh ty con.
Germ in mis- right to cast his ballot without
fear or favor. That sacred right first anch-
orei in guarantees that cannot be disturbed,
then comes the time and the right to solicit
him to vote for party nominations The
revelations now being made are so horrible
and revolving, that no man Of sensibility
can read them and not feel the blood indig-
nantly tingle in his veins. and not all the
sneers about the bloody shirt that can
tip-tilt Bourbonlnoses from California to tae
everglades of Florida, will lessen the hor-
rors OF the recitals now being made.

TOO IMPROBABLE FOR BELIEF

General Gordona perilous trip up the
Nile and across the deserts to Khartoum,
through country ranged by savage bands
of enemies to the cause he represents /;
marching practically alone and armed with
but his celebrated blackthorn stick, and
bearing, as a temptation to the outthroass
of the Nile, ElO4, 600, with which to pay
the Knartoum soldiery, will go down in
history as one of the most heroic adven-
lures of time. But the glory of this
achievement is sclipsed if it is true, as re-.
ported, that his first act was to recognize
the impostor FL Mahdi as Sultan of Kordo-
fan, and to guarantee immunity to the in
famous slave trade Of equatorial Africa and
the Nile Soudau. We are unwilling to be.
lieve, first, that the Gladstone Cabinet
would, by the authorization, place such a
stigma upon the English name that the
Khedive. weak as ne Is, would connive at
the infamy that Gordon, devout Christian
enthusiast as he is, who declares his "only
reliance is Christ, and his armor "the arm
of God, would consent to be the medium
for the contamination of such shame.

REPUBLICAN ACTIVITY AT THE EAST.

Throughout the East there is marked
activity in organizing the Republican party
for the approaching campaign. And it is
an interesting fact that the file of the party
is responding to the call to " enroll " in
numbers and in a spirit significant OF
faith in the power OF the party to win an
other national victory. More generally
than the independent element expected, the
machine men have retired and permitted
the voting strength to have something to
say in the business of organizing for the
coming battle. In this the machinists at
least manifest wisdom Had the attempt
been renewed to ignore the independent
thinker and voter, he certainly would have
revolted, Just as he did in New Y ork at the
last general election but one. Not SO large
an enrolment has been made in New York
City as was desired, and ''the boys" have
not relaxed their hold to the extent de-
manded, but the new organization even
there is vast improvement over the for
mer state of affairs. In Philadelphia on
Tuesday the election of a Republi.
can Mayor by 5000 majority and a
Common Council almost wholly Republi-
can evidence the spirit manifest in that
section, which is typical of the general re-
vival of interest referred to in the outset.

REFRkCrIoN LAWS.

eff a man assails you through the
press, who may lie and knows he lies, who
for reasons of revenge, envy, or for pecu-
mary gain, takes from you Or Injuries the
priceless possession of character and repu.
tAtion, your only redress is in an action at
law, which is tedious, uncertain in our day
of professional periurers and packed juries,
and withal generally unsatisfactory, even
though successful. The great damage has
been done, and the vindication comes late
and IS not scattered as broadcast as the
accusations" So says Vanity Fur, Ex-
actly and because of these reasons, and
others of equal cogency and broad justice,
the RECORD UNION brought forward the
suggestion some years ago that there
should be placed upon our statute books a
retraction law. By it, with libel once
established by decree of Court, the in
jured person would have the right to a
published retraotiou or statement of the
falsehood in the same paper and to the
same extent as tae original libel, and dis
tTibuted to the same clientage. And why
not? What would there be in such law
repugnant to single principle of justice or
dictate of manhood ?

THE RIvsR AppRopRGArIoE.

The Supervisors of this county have petit
toned Congress to give to the improve
ment OF the navigability of the Sacra.
mento river the sum asked in the bill of
Mr.. Budd. A like petition should 20 up
from every official board along the whole
line Of the river and from the official body
of every interior municipality. 1t is even
possible that San Francisco could be in.
duoed 70 export its usual selishness for the
moment and indorse the petition We no.
tioe in this connection Geographic state
ment that the committee in charge of the
bill has signifed its intention to report in
favor OF $4,000 appropriation for the i'm.
provement of the Sacramento. It seems
scarcely possible that the committee will
thus insult common intelligence. The
Sacramento is the second navigable stream
OF the coast between the British line and
the Mexican border. It is in a sad strait
It's channels need to be cleared, the integ-
rity Of its banks restored, and one or two
tcrsuous sections Strengthened. 1t is in
danger OF being destroyed as nsvigAble
river, and the threat that menaces it Is due
to The neglect aud consent Of the Federal
Government. Il would seem that under
these circumstances Congress can be so en-
lightened by proper and general petitions
and resolutions, as to be brought at least
to inquire into the necessities of the case at
once.

OF VITAL IMPORTANCE TO SAX FRAN
CISCO.
San Francisco Alta, February 1oth.I

San Francisco Alta, February 10Th.
In its eagerness to secure the withdrawal
of the land grant to the California and
Oregon and Oregon and California Rail-
roads, the Chronicle is hurried into saying
that the completion of this road ia of little
or no Importance to California. But here
is where the Chronicle makes a great mis-.
take. This road is of vital Importance to
San Francisco and her northern trade. In
fact, as Henry Willard said, it ought to
have been built ten years ago. eve could
never hope t. control much OF the trade of
the Upper Willamette valley" says the
Chronicle. That is a question upon which
the opinion of our leading merchants would
be more valuable and it is safe to say
their opinion would not coincide with the
Chronicles. Imagine, if possible, the mer.
chants of Chicago deciding that their city
would not be benefited by the extension
of its railroad connections Give San
Francisco railroad route through southern
Oregon and see whether it does not bring
trade to this city. self the railroad were
extended to Portland" says the Chronicle,
" what great benefits should we derive
from it? We are already within three
days of that city by steamer. Were the
road completed freight would still prefer
the sea to the land route, because it is
cheaper and the difference in time is of
little consequence. 1t would be just as
sensible to say that San Francisco did not
need railroad connection with Los Angeles.
Difference in time, instead of being of little
Importance, is of greater importance than
anything else in certain kinds Of trade,
On all small orders, which in the aggregate
compose tins valuable part of our domestic
commerce, time is of more Importance than
cost of freighting, as any wholesale mer-
chant will tell the Chronicle.
