Tux SHEPPARD LETTER.-fbe scan1alons
nd ibeious letter from lhs New orE Ma't
,o3 ErDrcss published IN yesterdays GA
ler,re in whicu Col Sheppard undertakes
a make martyrs cut of a gang OF dlsorGerly
ann -4nld negroes especially OF the two VINO
wer. s:oJ for an assault on an CDcer, was
reec with indignation and disgust by re-
a;.ectabie whi,e people OF all political creeds.
The statements, OF course, needed 10 Ietute-
t,oo nping tissue OF falsehoods, made out
of whole cloth, and that such stun should be
disseminate is hut al illustration OF the lacI
that me feeling toward the South Is just as
bitter in some nortions of the North as IL
was during the days Of o 9sawsttamie BroWp.
Amonp no class is the indignation more
enparent than with gentlemen OF northern
birth who of late years have MADE AieSan
1ria their home, 80 much SO that se'eial oi
tho latter are seriously contemplating Whetr :
ar to send refuation of the charge TO the
editor of the paper referred to or to treat ice
matter with silent contempt. Two oil tnem,
!, 81 talk with the writer this mort
in, laid the assertions made by the rabid
anifor we're false in almost every pa
ficn,ar and that the only sembance
- ,rnth tney contained was the fact that
,po disorderIy negroes mad been shot for a.
ssuI,inc poiic, maD, which would have
baen the fate Of white men under similar
circumstances. Some negroes are consei-
vatige and honest enough to repudiate Col.
Sbepoard's charges too; but these are found
onIv among the cid Alexandria colored
neonle who have lived with their white
neiebbors long enough to know that courte'
" begets courtesy, and that so long as they
act well their part toward white people they
will be treated with the consideration due
them There s another eiement, however,
who approve of ell the Mail and Express
published in regard to our city, and make
nc hesitation in giving vent to thor spleen,
often rendering Themselves obnoxious and
menacing toward white people, whose
ears they intend shall hear their ut
terances o. one of the Washington
ferry boats yesterday group of negroes
ni,ked cut the best SEATS on the lower
dsck and bsgan discussing their Imaginary
wrnros one reading from newspaper the
ecc,not ~ the riot at Pocahontss where
four neeroes and two white men were
kiIed Ole OF the gang remarked tnst the
moot -houlG nave Deen on the other loot
fur whites made to bite the dust. Another
asserted that negroes always showed more
nergsio fights than white people-in fact
chat one black could whip two whites aoy
