THAT BOYCOTT.

NSse OF the Passage OF the EeueFa
Election Biil-The Feeling at New Or
leans, Montgomery, and other Cities.
NEW YORK, July 25.-A special from
Charleston. 5. c., to the Sun says one OF
the wealthiest merchants in that city
says that it was not at all likely That
Southern merchants and buyers would
take part in a boycott against Northern
business men, but that boycott may be
enforced against the colored supporters
of the Force bill in the South. Before
the proposed bill can be put into opera
ton anywhere 100 Republicans must pc
tition for its enforcement in this dis
trict. As there are not 100 white Re-
publicans in the entire State, the ne
groes must be called upon to invoke the
bayonet.
THE PLAN
that will be adopted in the South will
be to boycott these negroes. 1t will be
generally understood that no negro who
signs such petition, or accepts an APP
pOintment under the obnoxious law, can
obtain work from a Democrat there
after, and this rule should be obeyed
with the ut-noSt strictness.
The Suns Atlanta correspondent SAYS
a meeting has been called by several of
the sub-Alliances of the Farmers Al
lance in Houston and other counties,
at which meeting tits proposed to adopt
resolutions to send to all the county AL
dances urging the systematic
BoYCOTTING OF NORTHERN PRODUCTS
in case the Force bill becomes a law.
The president of the Worth County AL
lance makes the suggestion that no
COTTON no cold 70
but that it be sent to England direct.
Captain Clark, president of the Mer.
chants Bank of Rome. Ga. and head of
the largest wholesale house in that
city, and who has for years been buying
dry goods and shoes in the North, un-
hesitatingly pledges himself to the boy
colt. Public meetings are reported as
being held in all the smaller towns
throughout the South at which the boy
colt plan is Endorsed.
STILL URGING THE BoYCoTT.
The A tlanta Constitution returns to
the subject and editorially urges
Southern merchants who are ordering
goods from the North to make their Or
ders conditional. and to distinctly tip.
uiate that the orders are to be conceded
if the Force bill passes. The Northern
trade centers viii thus be made to APP
preciate the gravity of the situation.
The Constitution adds:
Our arrogant enemies will make the mis-
take of their lives if they decide that the
Southern people are half hearted or Indif-
ferent, Better turn this fair land into
desert than have it plunged into endless
race conflicts or resting under the curse OF
negro domination.
THE EFEU AT
The Suns New Orleans dispatch saws
there is much alarm there over the
prospect of the passage of the Federal
Election bill, and there is general de-
mand that some action be taken in re-
gard tn it SO as to nullify the law
should it pass. But there is a wide di-
versity of sentiment as to what that ac-
6ion should be. There seems to be an
even division on the subj ect of a boy
colt of Northern products. About half
the people want a convention called to
arranged course of action so that all
the South can act together in fighting
and defeating the Law. The New Or
leans Chamber of Commerce and In
dustry has adopted resolutions declar-
ing in favor of the proposed convention
The States and Delta warmly support
the boycott proposition, and urge i'm
mediate action in calling the conven-
ton.
The Picayune thinks that boycott
against the North may become neces-
:sary, but that it is premature to propose
1T ROW.
The Times-Democrat opposed both
boycott and convention as being sec
tional, and savoring too much of seces-
sion times 1t expresses the opinion
that the Force bill can be beaten and
nullified without convention.
ALABAMA REPUBLICANS OPPOSE 1T.
At Birmingham. Ala, yesterday, sew
eral hundred Republicans held meet
ing and adopted a memorial, giving
many reasons why the Election bill
should not be passed by the Senate.
This memorial will be signed by sew
eral thousand Republicans and forward
ed to the Republican Senators at Wash
ington.
Other dispatches from various Sec
tions of the South show that these is a
general feeling Of opposition to the
Force bill, but that there is more or
less opposition to the proposed boycott
Sentiment at st. Louis.
ST LOUIS, July 25.-The Republic, in
referring to the proposed Southern boy
colt, says:
The South needs less fine talk and more
smoky chimneys. After it has twenty
factories where it has one now, it will be
time enough to listen to the eloquent rot
about "boycotting" The work for the pres
ent is to put brains and money into mining
and manufacturing. When Southern goods
are manufactured and on the market
cheaper and better than other goods, there
will DO no need OF "boycotts." Until they
arc, "bovcotts' are impossible and talk OF
them absurd. Let's talk business.
The Sentiment at Montgomery.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, July 25.-As a
largely attended meeting of the Mont
gomery Industrial and Commercial AS
ISOLATION, yesterday, resolutions were
adopted protesting against the Force
bill. A resolution was also adopted
stating that the association is opposed
to and will in no event lend it's aid to
any measure looking to boycott of
