TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
Disgorged Again.

gorged his disgusting Fo' IL tue
Senate to the disgrace of himself
and the humiliation of the south
GRO repre- entatives. We say nihi-
list because the most ardent fol-
lower of the doctrine Of Nihilism
can hardly entertain views mere
revolutionary and subvensivs OF
good government than those ex-
pressed and gloried in by the boss
Of South Carolina. 70 hold a seat
IN the United States Senate, after
swearing to support the Constl' u
ton. aud at the same time to de-
Glare his beliefin the righteousness
of poliuca n muir Ter and other forms
of political crime. whereby repuo
lican form OF government Is denied
his state, is toviolate every instinct
of decency and insult the inteli-
Kence and responsibility of honest
legislators. Tue Senator seeG's to
take delight in injecting into
every debate of whatever descrlp-
ton, what he would seem to
consider the ever present negro
question aud to indulge in bar
room Language in characteriz.ng
the cOlored race.
Tillman has said much which is
false but nothing which is more so
than that he is the superior CT the
"nigger" as he calls them, HIS
brother democratic Senators, who
left the Senate in disgust, while he
was indulging in his tirade, can
testify that never has colored
Senator or member of Congress
behaved SO ungentlemanly and so
bDorishley and cIownishlY as did
Tillmau on last Wednesday week
This coarse-grained,man in his ca
gerness to bIacken the character
and reputation Of the colored peo-
pie referred to an instance or two
Of crimes which were committed In
Washington, as proof that the col
ored people we're growing worse.
Au instance or two may have Oc-
Cured, but thousands of similar
instances are daily occ Irrlng IN the
South in which the whites are the
perpetrators.
No one but a fool or a fend
would be guilty Of charging such
c rimes to wh0le race. Such talk
only shows what a weak ease Till
man has and to what extent he will
strain 8 point to justify his nefarv
Gus doctrines and practices.
The CRY of "negro domination"
is a mere bugoboO and TilIman
knows it. As a matter Of fact when
the ex-rsbels refused or were In
eligible to take part in the state
governments sat the South, the
principal affairs were white natives
showed = disposition to support
good government they were elected
to office and unanimously support
Ell by the colored voters.
Moreover, it can be truly said
that the laws which were passed by
the southern legislatures during
Reconstruction, were sound and
lust and have not been improved
by those p sssd DO their white sue
csssors. This talk of social egGhty
and "HIgg5r domination" seems TO
be the stock IN trade ofIhe average
lazy domin,erinE aud prids blown
southerner rs Is 80 much ike the

But history repeats itself. The
