THE REPUBLICAN UNDER A WRONG I'M.
PRESTON.

The Springfield Republican says that
the negroes were expelled from Whining
ton ''for the crime of exercising their
political rights" As matter of fact,
the real reason for the expulsion of the
two negroes driven out was that they in
cited to deeds of violence One of them
had boosted that the would wash his
hands in the blood of white men. Most
of the men expelled were base white
men, one of them a public oTlicer who
lived in open adultery with a negro wo-
man, and who, as minor judge, denied
and sold justice.
1t is evident that the Springfield Re
publican. usually fair and just, has been
misinformed. AS IA matter of fact a
well behaved negro is as safe in Will
mington. \. c., as in Springfield, Mass.
1t was only a few mean negroes and
meaner white men who have been
driven out of the city for the city's
good.

BLOOD WILL TELL.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
The hanging of a colored man in Hi
nois for the usual crime has taken place
with the same celebrity which would have
been witnessed in the South.
Perhaps no newspapers in the Union
have been more persistent in denouncing
Southern barbarity'' because of it's
mode of furnishing unmentionable crim-
inals than those of Chicago. They have
read long and labored lessons to the
people of the South upon their backward
condition. and pointed with pride as
II politician might say, to the record Of
Illinois and other Northern States, where
the punishment of crime is left 10 the
slow and accurate action of the courts.
Like most people removed from the
cause of which they wrote. these editors
We're confused by theory instead Of hav-
ing been enlightened by facts.
During the past few weel-s the ''perse-
cuted citizen Of the South has been
vainly trying to find some work in Hi
nois. He was met promptly by the Re
publican Governor of that State, who
refused him the protection of the law,
and headed the mob violence which de-
prived him of his legitimate rights. IN
this emergency one of these colored
citizens started out on the commission
Of grade Of crime which seems CON
fined to their race. He was quickly
caught up by the indignant citizens. and
without benefit of either clergy, judge
or jury, was jerked through to n swift
and salutary fate. The dispatches tell
MS that there will be no attempt to dis
cover the perpetrators of this act, as the
community is very well satisfied with
what has taken place.
The Constitution only refers to this
news incident for the purpose of drawing
the lesson that men are pretty much
, the same everywhere. While coooi and
orderly proceedings of law will 10 very
well for ordinary occasions in Illinois
yet there are times when even the citi
zen of that State feels that ne is called
