The fastest news from Carrollton, Miss,
unhappily shows the tragedy there to have
been AS awful butchery as at first reported
1t will arouse, as it should, horror throughout
the Union and the civilized world
An effort is made to palliate the killing of
the negroes in the courthouse by showing the
bad dispositions of the two Browns, who were
among the victims All the accounts agree
in showing these men to have been vicious,
stirrers up of strife and a source of constant
danger to the community. They had threat
ened the lite of MIR. Liddell, they bad been
engaged in several shooting ARRAYS, and
were known to go constantly armed and be
ever ready with their weapons. Such men
are menaces to the public peace, and they
should have been restrained and punished
but not in the way adopted, not by the indis-
criminate slaughter of negroes, good, and
bad, by an armed mob. There were courts
in Carroll, over which judges beyond suspi
cion presided these courts were opened for
the punishment OF the Browns and other tur
bulent negroes of the population without a
resort to The rifle and to lynch law.
The honor of Mississippi and of the South
demands that this matter be ju1icially inves
tixated at once. and the Law vindicated by the
punishment of those engaged in this slaugh-
ter. The murder of human beings in this
barborous fashion cannot be tolerated or con-
doncd We believe every intelligent citizen
of Mississippi will Join with us in this view
IF the case, and in denouncing this almost
unparalleled slaughter.

The unfortunate affair at Carrolton is, we
fear. one of those for which there can be no
justification. 1t is a case in which there was
apparently no need of anything more than
the enforcement of the law. The

hands of the white element, and it is an &C.

before them but life Of illiteracy, and hence OF
servitude.- Nashville Union.
While the Union confesses that
the Blair educational bill is the
most important measure for the
southern people that is now before
the National Congress, the Union
is so inconsistent as to support Bob
Taylor for Governor, who expects
to be elected to the United States
Senate, where he will have an OPP
portunity to vote against the Blair
bill In voting against this bill 1t
would lose to the Southern States

England the right to ship her goods

THE EARTHQUAKE.

The earthquake at Charleston, and
near there, was disastrous event
to the people, as every house in the
city was more or less damaged. II
is thought it will take five millions
of dollars to meet the loss. The
excitement has largely passed and
the people show signs of rest.
&Slight shocks were experienced for
a number of days. 70 some ex-
tent the topography of certain 10.
calities has been changed by the
sinking down of the earth.
All over the country the people
are imbued with the spirit of kind
ness, and thousands of dollars are
being sent in from all directions.
The Government is the only insti-
tuition that can be criticised be-
cause the constitution does not pro-
vide for help in case of earth
quakes. Blair will have to offer n
bill to appropriate money for the
relief of the sufferers. Buchanan
could find no constitutional provis-
ion to enable him to save the Gov
eminent; and Cleveland stands on
the same States rights idea Of the
weakness of our national charter.
1t is a shame and a disgrace that
the President and his cabinet can
not arise with the dignity Of the
occasion and furnish help to the
people of Charleston.

not delivered at that place in the

ed purpose of the leaders Of the
Democracy in Tennessee, led by
their candidate for governor, to
throw away in contempt the mag
nificent gift of eight millions Of dol.
lars rendered by the Government
to aid in educating the children Of
Tennessee? Can It be for the reason
that Democracy is in favor of keep
ing the children of poor men in ig-
n0rance, and by so doing prevent
ing their rising above the condition
of mere day laborers? Fit be not

loves his children and wishes them
to have q better prospect in life

Bob Taylor's position on the tariff
question is against the laboring
mems interests. We do not see how
q laboring man can vote for a can
didate who favors free trade, and
yet thousands of men who make
their living by labor will vote for
him, although he would reduce
their wages fifty to one hundred per
cent, if he carries out the doctrine
of the Democratic party.
