THE BLOODY SOUTH.

The defeat of the Democratic ticket
has brought the race issue IN the South
to head. During all the years since
the war, men have been looking wise
and talking about the Negro problem,
many and ingenious are the theories
which have been pounded; thousands
are the excuses which have been
brought forward as apologies for the
abnormal condition of things. So skill
fully have the real facts been disguised
that many have been lead to believe the
bright and secure. However, the over.
whelming defeat of the Democratic
party 40 completely batfled the secret
hopes and plans of the Southern whites.
that they, maddened with disappoint-
ment, have rashly given expression to
their true feelings and let the cat out of
the bag. The article from Senator
Eustis, published in late number Of
the Forum, when read in the light of
the lynchings, murders, and mobs that
have followed the election gives one
quite q reliable insight into Southern
feeling toward the Negro. The utter
ances of the Southern Press and of
prominent men, advocating the disfran-
chisement of the Negro all are unmis-
takeable induces to the real feelings and
malignant designs Of the South. The
time to smooth over things, to take
hopeful views, and spin long theories
has past. The outrage at Wehalak,
Miss, Dec. 18th, sounds the tocsin. 1t
reveals the fact that the white men of
the South hate the Negro citizens with
a hatred that is implacable, malignant
and undying. So deep and strong is
this hatred, that grave senators are lead
by it to the perpretration of deeds that
would put Jessie James to the blush
The whole South has laid aside every
principle of justice, honor, lawand con-
science and has with barred arms entered
in upon carnival of blood Unless de-
cisive steps are taken for the defensive,
within FIVE years the whole order Of
things in the South will be reversed and
the Negro will be the sufferer. On the
slightest of excuses, the whole of a
Southern community unites to murder
Negroes. Let one white man attack a
Negro and be defeated, then score of
white men unite to slay the victor;
should his friends arise to his defense,
the press join the mob in shouting ..ln-
Surrection" and the state is ready to
send her armed forces to the support o..
the cnt-throat band Who ever heard
of Southern courts or governors inter-
posing to protect Colored citizens from
white MODS; who ever heard of tLem
failing to use their full power to conquer
any Negro or body CT Negroes that were
with any show of success defending
themselves against the whites? The
SOUTH Is DRrEk.1INED TO TAKE THE RIG HIS
oEcIr1zENsA1p FROM THE BLACKMAN, that
is the long and short Of the whole mat

ter. Within the last few weeks the
Judson Female Institute at Marion, Ca,
was burned to the ground, and now
comes the tidings that Lincoln Normal
institute has shared the same fate. A
religious Southern paper said editor
tally; The North and the Negro shall
never again rule the South, ballot or no
ballot, count or no count" The fervid
Grady but few days ago said; " Every
white youth must VOW that the white
man shall rule the South" These ex-
pressions are made in deadly earnest,
and are backed up by murders, outrages,
crimes and frauds thatare unparalleled
in the history of mans inhumanity to
man. For any Negro to stand still and
let these Hellish things go on, without
having done his part to protect his suf-
fering brother in the South, is rank
coWardice. WE ARE NOT HELPLESS, THERE
IS "A WAY OF SALVATION. The Negro can
b. rescued from the folds of the He'll
born anaconda that with Develish ma
lice .ull, seeks to destroy him. THERE
is way, AND a LAWFUL WAY. Let the
Negroes of free and glorious Minnesota
be the ones to take the first step. The
Times are ripe for action, let a feasible
plan once be presented and all the Ne
groes and their friends will rally to it.
Every Colored citizen Of st. Paul, ire
spective of party, denomination, or &C.
cupation is now invited to consider this
matter. Sunday night Dec. 3Oth, great
mass meeting of Colored citizens will be
held at St. James Church, corner of Full
Ter and Jay street, Rev. J. M. Hender-
son, will present the issue as it is. The
pastors and congregations of the various
churches will be invited to be present,
and the pastors will be invited to preach
a series of sermons on this subject.
This is a great race question, let US unite
IN it's consideration, laying aside what
ever difference that may divide us on
smaller issues. Don't forget the date.
Dec. 90th, Sabbath night, 1880 p. m.
let every lover of his race be present
at st. James Church. Each and every
Colored citizen is cordially invited.
This meeting is only attended to place
the issue before every body, aud will be
followed up by ceaseless, tireless efforts,
until all the influence and strength of
the Negro anf his friends in the land
have been concentrated. Go and hear

passed by the State Legislature for the es-
tablishment Of colorcd university Is UNI
constitutional, on the ground that the
money appropriated belonged to the COM
mon school fund and could not be used for
a university. Strictly speaking" says Tho
Ne'cs. ''t Is o misrepresentation Of the
school fundsto establish and maintain high
schoolsto teach music, German, drawing,
and scores Of other branches in the public
schools. II is not to be doubted that the
State would be, In measure, the garcr II
every boy and girl could sing and speak
German, but that does not warrant the ex-
clusion Of q large number OF children from
tho public schools that tho few may be
taught those branches" The funds used
for such purposes are diversion Of the
funds Of the State that should not be per

Tennessee, have lost confidence in Gov.
Taylor. This sentiment is too strong to

ton in the south, says Mr.. Glass position
Is shaky, and, II be doesn't mind, the
people will smash him. Here Mr.. Glass
position Is Endorsed by the rankest high
protection advocate in the south, and con-
demned by the ablest newspaper on the
other side. We cannot sec where the mis-

The prohibition PARTY.

From tho Galatin Examiner.
Prohibitionists in this county do not APP
prove Of third party movement In Ten
nessee. At least the Democratic portion
do not, and we cannot answer for the Re-
publicans. The people we're told last year
in the canvass by all the leaders that pro-
hibition had nothing to do with parties or
politics; that IL was moral movement
and stood upon its own grounds. Now a
convention assemblies at Nashville and
declares for new and third party. II
calls convention in May to nominate q
candidate for Governor, and recommends
the nomination OF candidates for all Offices,
national and State. Whatever may be the
future OF prohibition such movement
cannot succeed in Tennessee. 1t can only
get crushed out, or hazard the success Of
the Democratic party.
