We see it announced that the
friends of Judge ALBION w. Tour
GEE are urging his nomination for
Congress.
A better equipped man, one who
will fearlessly do his duty while
faithfully subscribing the interests OF
bis party could not be selected.
Candidly speaking, we should like
to have him President of the United
States.
In his studious regard for the
rights of ell men, he would broaden
American citizenship, and make of
special significance to all American
citizens the waving of the old flag
In that liberty, equality before the
law and the protection of American
man and womanhOod would be
guaranteed wherever the starry bar
ner was unfurled.

all that we have gained by the past
thircy- five years of suffering and distress.
Are our people mad that they will thus
court their own destruction
Yes, they are mad. In tbelV blind
hatred of the colored man, they
have become headstrong, dictatorial
and careless OF the general prosperity
OF the country.
They have trampled upon econO-
mic principles. the violation of which
has brought financial disaster to
their section and they are now deter
mined to cause the country to be
forced to share their distress.
Lawlessness has been the most po-
tent cause OF their undoing. Mob
law has checked immigration and
stifled finance.
Civilization stands aghast at the
acts of the mad men of the South;
while the nations Of the Cid World,
with emiles upon their couDtenances
await with suppressed anxiety the
result of this experiment In the New
World.

FOUR COLORED MEN LYNCHED.

The lynching of four colored men
in Louisiana last Saturday, for the
alleged killing of a white man, named
BoYcE, was one the most dastardly
crimes ever committed in this coun-
try, and goes far to emphasize the
fact that these seml-barbarians need
to be subjected to the rigorous pen

We have had II whispered TO us that
II Is thought by some that the agitation
by the Times of the subject of fair cleo
tons proceeds from a disloyalty 10 the
Democratic party. Indeed that It had
been asked rs the Times Populist or
Republican,"
The suggestion is an absurdity 10 anv
one who knows the spirit which rules tho
Times and 1t should be an insult TO every
true and honest Democrat, as it involves
the Idea that honest elections are an ex-
elusive prerogative Of the Republican or
Populist party and cannot be advocated
by sound Democrat
Nothing could better show the tangled
web into which our practical politicians
have led us than this argument, intended
to lessen the force of our demands. but
which increases their power.
The case is very plain. II this is n
government which finds its Just powers
in the consent Of the governed. and the
method OF ascertaining that consent Is
through the baliot-box. the utmost care
should be taken that the will and consent
OF the people should be fairly and GER
tainly ascertained.
If the ballot-box does not give a true
and certain expression Of the popular
will-but only expresses the will Of those
in charge of it-what is the use Of the
trouble and expense Of an election? WHY
argue, or speak. or write? Why try 10
persuade and plead with the people?
Why discuss any principle-free trade or
protection-free silver or the gold stand
ardS II is only necessary to persuade"
the three or four men who hold the KEYS
to the ballot-box and tie thing Is done.
Some how or other the fact that most
OF the election frauds which we have
denounced are practiced in negro counties
has put il into the minds Of some thought
less persons that the Times Is advocating
the cause of the negro. as against the
white people.
This idea. too. is absurd,
The Times believes that no where on
earth is the negro more generously and
justly treated than in Virginia-save I'm
voting. And that the consequences OF
the perverson. If not subversion, of law
in the matter of the negro's vote have
not been to the injury of the negro-not

people
We have not felt and do not feel that
the injury the negro has suffered OF it
self demands the effort we are making for
honest elections. 1t is the injuries the
whites are themselves enduring which
demands OF the white people honest
elections for their own political and moral
salvation.
The negro has been made q stalking

have been wrought upon the whites.

A LIBEL On THE SO gTH.

In a recent issue Of that rank Repub-
iican organ. the Commercial Advertiser
It's bold warrior editor, Col Cockerill,
says:
The only thing that prevents the South
from again springing TO arms against the
North is the remembrance of the thrash
ing 1t got thirty years ago"
1t is astonishing that there should be
any opinion In the North amounting TO
enough to secure a place In journal as
prominent as the Commercial Advertiser
which believes this of the South.
Indeed We are not altogether sure that
the opinion really exists. We are rather
disposed 10 think that 1t is a sort Of
party shibboleth. and is uttered by parti.
san after partisan, TO whom it has been
taught. as the parrot repeats his lesson.
But whether meant or not meant the
thing itself is prepos.erous and absurd.
There is no desire anywhere in the South
TO go TO war with the North. Whether
slavery was the cause Of the war or
whether it was not, its abolition ended all
opinion in the South favorable to
breach with the North. The people of
the South are now as loyal 10 the Union
as the people of New YORK or Massachu-
sets are or ever can be. They think
their interests inseparably bound up in
the Union, and they desire to see the
Union perpetuated because they believe 1t
to be their true interest to be aud remain
part Of IT,
TO have better sense than to be uttering
folly Of this sort.
