scented, Mr.. Plat moved It's reference to

The Troublesome Negro.

Under the heading 1.-THE Negro Is Still
at the Fore in American Politics" the New
York Herald has the following striking arti-
Gle:
Riots, outrages. and bloodshed in diff
ferent parts Of the South have recently be-
come painfully frequent.
1.-THE old war between the two sections
of the country has ceased, but an ominous
conflict between the two races which IN
habit one section has begun.
=" II cool eOunsels prevail this matter can
be conducted 10 Il safe conclusion. II
handled by hot tempers we shall soon find
ourselves on the eve Of reign of terror the
outcome Of which may prove perilous 10
the republic.
1.-THE question Of race relations is not q
southern question merely, for II cannot be
confined 10 one locality. IL Is also north
ern question. In other words, II Is rapidly
becoming a national question. Massaehu-
eetts and Ohio are equally interested with
South Carolina and Georgia III its Just So
luton.
Sup TO the present moment this mo-
ynent0us puzzle has been been played for
all il is worth in thegame OF party politics.
That must end at once or we shall mud our
selves involved IN serious trouble. Barrels
of gunpowtler should not be handled by
fanatics. for if All explosion occurs the fate
which overtakes the idiots viii also fall on
the Government.
ITO the Republicans Of tho North tho
negro is simply an element OF campaign
success. Their chief business has been 10
array the blacks against the whites as M
tural enemies. An opportunity 70 toment
diseord is never neglected. The chief pc
cularity Of every national canvass is the
delivery Of firelrands into the hands of
the colored people with the advice 10 uso
them.
1.-The consequence is o series of uprisings
in various States, accompanied by oulag6s
which imperil our national reputation.
The feeling is widely prevalent among tho
colored people from the Potomac 10 the
should assert that right by violence and
pistols. This lesson tho Republican party
has carefully taught them, and they are
beginning to practice it with yenge-
ance."
And every southern white man should
rally 10 the standards of his race. This is
no time 20 belittlo the troubles of the South
by declaring that eight millions Of negroes
cannot put down City millions Of whites
That is not the question. The people Of
the black belt feel and know that so far as
they are concerned the question at issue
in Virginia is the supremacy Of the white
race in counties wherein the negroes alone
OF the negroes led by few whites consti-
tute majority Of the population. He
fights in the interest Of MALONE who at

of Virginia have nothing TO fear from the
