These carpet baggers, calling them

cohesive power Of public plumber.

taught the negroes that the southern
white men We're solely responsible for
their enslavcment and were their
worst and only enemies

negroes. hut unnn the children. the
generation which has grown to man

been most baneful These were thu
primo causes of the alienation Of the
negroes.
"a more immediate cause is the per-
petual ntermeddling with the rela-
tons OF the race in the south by fanat-
les and fools who know nothing about
the situation. They write incendiary
letters to turbulent negroes all over
the south. advising them to arm them
selves with Winchester rifles. and for
every guilty rapst who pays the pen
atty of his crime to shoot down the
first two white men they meet"
Governor Gambler says the informed
dlers Of the north do not represent a
respectable minority, and that the law
less and criminal negroes In the south
constitute less.

San Francisco, aug. An officer of

letter, dated Manila, June q. for publ
cation:
The arrival of the rainy season inds

more skilful in the use of their
weapons every day.

Atlanta. Aug. 1.-Governor Gambler

for the people to uphold the courts and
aid them in bringing to speedy justice
