RICE FEELING IN THE SOUTH.

TLe Herald of yesterday was quick tn hold
the Republican party responsible forthe rioting
and incendiarism i'm the Georgia towns OF
Brunswick and Dublin. AS its Palatka story
has not been sustained by later and more trust
worthy reports 1t may be premature to attach
much Importance to these new recitnls OF race
conflict and devastation; but its insinuations
respecting Republican responsibility for the ex-
istine state of excitement and alarm among the
negroes of the South cannot be too speedily re-
scntcd. If the colored people IN certain sec
tions are convinced that the return OF tho
Democratic party to power is an evil omen Tor
their race, il IL not the fault of those who have
befriendcd and protected them. II in their
ignorance they are Overtaken with panic fear
lest the defeat of the Republican party shall in
volye their own re -enslavemcnt their Opprcss-
ors must shoulder the responsibility 1t is not
the result of Republican teaching and legisla-
ton. 1t is the direct consequence OF Bourbon
intimidation and persecutlOn--Of the policy or
the shot gun and the tissue ballOt-Of crimes
against humanity and the Constitution.
The cOOred people know to their SORROW what
has been the result of the restoration of the
Democratic party to power in the Southern
States. They have been disfranchised-de
spoiled of the rights of citizenship guaranteed
to them by the Constitutional Amendments and
Reconstruction Acts. They have been shot
down, intimidated, cheated and robbed by their
political oppressors. Even when they are
allowed to vote at all, their ballots are not
counted. The BourbOns have formed new
Confederacy with an unwritten but thoroughly
understood law of seven words: " This shall be
n white mans government" 1t has become
white mans government. The political rights
of the colorcd people are Systematically ignored
from the CarOlinas to Texas. The restoration
of the BOurbOns to power III those States has
been followed by the suppression OF the Repub-
lcan vote and the eacoDleDt of equal rights
before the law. Ii it strange that an oppressed
race, Judging from its experience with tri-
umphant Democracy in the States, and remcm-
bcrng it's wrongs, should be overwhelmed with
dismay, now that the same party by suppressing
the negro vote has won National victory

THE BUSINESS SiDE or SE JOHN.

THE BUSINESS SiDE VT of' "'HN'
The PhiIcdeiphia Nems says with postivcncss
that the National Committee turned deal ear
to the most promising ovcrturcs; Slo,ooo
would have put St. John out of the way"
1t is hardly probable that the Editor OF 1he
PhiIadcIphia Ncrs has made such statement
without some sort of authority. If II is true
that Mr.. st. John offered to get out of the way,
or quit the canvass, upon payment oi u deiinito
sum of money. il would be- well for that fact to
be known, and the statement ought not to be
made without ample support. At tho same
time il Is but fair to say that MIR. ~. John con
ductcd himself from the beginning TO the end of
the campaign rs if he were the paid cmployc OF
tho Democratic National Committee, and
whatever the motives may have been which led
to such extraordinary conduct, they seem hardly
consistent with disposition on his part to get
out of the way If paid SO small sum as
$4,000. The Democrats could well have
afforded to pay him great deal more money to
continue his speeches, whether they did or
not.
Meanwhile the voters who were misled by
these speeches. or who for other reasons set
back the cause of temperance twenty years by
their unwsc votes will have abundant reason
to consider their own responsibility in the mat
ter. They cannot lay the responsibility upon
ST. John. Whatever he was, they at least voted
with their eyes open, and knew what they were

dTSTR ONFEDER1 1TTON.

There il little doubt that the question Of
Australasian Confederation will soon enter the
domain of practical politics, If it has not nj
ready done so. There are many and serious
difficulties in the way, among which may be
mentioned the opposing tariff systems of the
different colonies o. Australasia. and the petty
icalouscs between the Colonial 20 crnments
cngcndercd by lcc, sci-intcrcst. But the
British Government appears to be sincerely de-
sirous of uniting these great Statcs together
ns the colonies Of Canada were united together
and in some form or other the union will prob
ably be effected before long.
The difficulty now seems to be that the prov
inces are unwilling to grant the proposed
Federal Legislature anything more than show
of power Ii could do nothing which could not
be done quito rs well now by joint
action of the present local Legislatures, and for
this reason would soon be looked upon with
contempt in country where thing is cstimat-
ed according to its practical worth. 1t squitc
clear that unless the people of Australasia de-
liberatcly decide to accept the drawbacks OF a
confederacy for the sake of its great advan-
tagcs, nothing will come of the present aglta-
ton. For however desirOus the British Govern
ment may be OF bringing about n confederation,
il will not attempt to cOerce the colonies.

STICKING TO THE WRONG SIDE.

Naturally. the traitors who have helped defeat
the Republican party are now busy making
excuscs for their treason. Thus. The Ncm- YORK
Times professes to believe, even after election
that the Republican party is in no respect more
TO be trusted than the Democratic party 10
maintain the constitutional amendments the
rights of the freedmen, tho credit OF the Nation
or the soupdness of the currency" All these, IL
af1irms are as safe in the hands OF the next
administration as they have been i'll the hands
of Republican administrations"
On every one of these points the Democratic
party has been hostile to Republican measures
and Governor Cleveland has shared that hos
tility. 1t denounced the amendments as un-
constitutional and void,' and Governor Clcve.
land voted upon that platform. 1t denounced
the enfranchisement of the freedmen, ana GOV
emor Cleveland asscnted. 1t declared In lSoo
that bonds ought to be paid in grcenbacks, anu
Governor Cleveland voted on that platform
also. II has voted in every recent election,
and Governor Cleveland has voted with 1t, III
favor of propositions tending to destroy the
soundness of the currency. Each Democratic
House in turn has had such propositions under
consideration with favor, and many have been
PASSED. and stopped only by a Republican Sen
ate.
It is for Republican voters and readers to say
whether. in the light of such a history, reaching
back for twenty years, The Times can be honest
in the statement quoted. for if that statement IL
true. the Republican party had no business TO
exist ten or fifteen years ago, anu has had no
business TO exist Mt any time since.
