POST MORTEn CRITICISM.

1t is bad enough to hold Governor
Tyler responsible for the unpopular
acts of the last Legislature, without
placing upon him the odium of the
neglect of any county officers to per-
form their duties. 1t seems wholly
unnecessary to go beyond the citizens
of Greensville county to find an object
Of blame for the Emporia lynching.
There are very few men who would
have acted differently from Governor
Tyler under the same circumstances.
Post mortem criticisms are based
upon known results, and generally
show lack of consideration for the
circumsta which influenced form
er action. What actually resulted is
bad enough-what might have hap
pened had the military not been in
creased or removed, would probably
have been much worse. If the Gov
ernor made any mistake, it was in
not sending military force to En-
poria sufficiently large TO have over
awed the mob and given more back
bone to the officers of the law.-Char-
