The Hayes organs evidently reiv
upon the hope of stirring up sectional
strile again as their main dependence
in tho rending campaign: and any
reports of race disturbances, whether
real or labricatcd, aro eagerly suizel
upon,exaggerated and misrepresented
in every possible way, in order to
create in minds prejudiced by a long
series ot atrocious misrepresentations,
a feeling of hatred against the white
population ol the bouth. It is time
that these efforts to prevent a thoi
ough reconciliation between the two
sections of the country should be met
as they deserve, and that tho pnblio
should be informed of the actual con
dition of affairs in the reconstructed
States. If the whole truth were
known, these attempts to revive
issues that were settled by war more
than ten years ago would recoil upon
their authors with crushing seventy.
It is a tact that the Kepublicans
are directly responsible for all of the
race disturbances that can possibly
be construed as of political oritrin
which have occurred during the past
four years. In the Africanized States
the negroes have been organized by
their leaders upon the color lino in
secrei leagues, many of which have
been in the habit of meeting in armed
bodies at midnight to drill mid
threaten the whites. Appeals to the
cupidity and to the worst passions of
tne ignorant blacks have been made
in these secret conclaves, . while the
torch of the incendiary has been
openly advocated as an instrument
tor the advancement ot political ends.
Every imaginable device lias been re
sorted to by the carpet-baggers and
their accomplices in order to create
dissensions between tho races; and
the ignorant dupes of these pestilent
demagogues have beeii taught to be
lieve that in obeying the commands
of their self constituted leaders they
were following instructions issued lor
their special guidance by the Pre i
ent. It has been a common practice
to issue printed handbills, purporting
to be signed by U. o. brant, ordering
the negroes of certain localities to
vote tor designated politicians of the
lowest order tor locJ offices and the
Legislature.
These pernicious teachinzs have
had their natural effect, and the most
Worthless class of Southern negroes
taking to politics and thievery tor a
livelihood, have robbed the white
tax payers officially when they got
office, and systematically plundered
and insulted them in their capacity
as private citizens. The records ot
the courts will bear out the assertion
that three-fourths of .he crimes
against life and property in the
Southern States within the past fiye
years have been committed by ne
groes, a large proportion ot wnoin
have escaped punishment on account
of being tried by partisan magistrates
before negro juries, who belonged to
the samo secret political leapueas the
prisoners. s
It is not strange that under such
circumstances the whites sliould
sometimes retalliate, though even the
utmost provocation cannot justity the
employment of lynch law. Where
lynch law has been employed against
the negroes in the South, it has not
in a single instance that we can recall
during the past four years, been used
except upon potorious offenders
against the law or in retaliation tor
repeated acts ot aggression. Wn do
not defend the "regulators" in South
Carolina or in any . other Southern
State ; we condemn them as we do
the acts of similar mobs in Indiana
and elsewhere in the Northern States
who bang horse thieves and other
marauders, not because they vote the
Republican ticket, but because they
are pests of society. But we protest
against an isolated act committed by
an infuriated mob, like that which re
cently occurred in Hamburg, S. C,
being held up as an evidence that
Kepublican voters are persecuted by
Democrats, when the fact is that the
whole white population ot South
Carolina has been plundered, trodden
upon, and abused in every conceiva
ble way by the worst class of blacks,
and still meaner and more villainous
white politicians, ever since the 'end
of the war.
The negro population about Ham
burg is one of the worst in the wh le
South. It wa there that was organ
zed a few mouths ago a plot tor a
general risiog ot the blacks against
the whiles in several counties in
Georgia, which would have involved
wholesale murders and outrages of
the most fearful kind. Fortunately
correspondence revealing the detail
of the conspiracy was intercepted,
and by the prompt intervention of
Judge Johnson and Gov. Smith of
Georgia, bloodshed was avoided.
Prince Rivers, the negro magistrate
who figured in the Hamburg disturb
ance, was one of the conspirators tm
plicated in this plot. The so-calicd
militia company ot Dock Adams was
a mob of negro ruffian, who had be
l WUiV UViUilVUI .VI fcl.l-. UUb BVR, BU'J
come notorious tor their outrages, and
deliver up their arms to tho Stato a
JtftJf "b0, Tbey were desperadoes
no defleu 'uthorilic I d
vato citizens alike,- a - tnough this
does not excuse the killing of prison
ers who had surrendered themselves,
it shows that it was not a political
motive which led to the tragedy.
On the other hand, while the ne
groes have an undisputed enjoyment
of their political rights so long as
they vote as they are directed by
their Republican leaders, there are
largo sections of the country in tho
South where a colored m. n can vote
a Dernocratio tickot only uv tho risk
of his life. Colored Dernocratio clubs
which dared to parade even in large
cities hi Alabama at the last election'
were subjected to murderous attacks
fiom the Black Leagues; and at the
present time in Louisiana, colored
men who joiu Conservative clubs, as
many of them are doing, become the
objects ot tho most vindictive perse
cution and assaults from Republicans
of their own race. Liberty ot opinion
is not tolerated among the negroes in
the Africanized States of the So ilh,
though in tli oso which have redeemed
themselves from Republican rule, like
Arkansas and' Tennessee, the most,
kindly relations txist between the
races, and every ono is permitted to
vole as ho pleases. ' '
There is no occasion whatever for
ill feeling between tho races in the
South, t he while land owuers need
tho industry of the negro laborers,
and the negroes find employment by
the whites a necessity. If it had. not
been for the pernicious influence of
the thieving carpet-baggers, who,
supported by the whole power of
Grant's Administration, have been
engaged in plundering the South for
the past eight years, the two races in
South Carolina and in Louisana would
be on as friendly terms as they now
are in Arkansas. And when our
Uncle Samuel enters tho While
House, and the criminal class of
Southern negroes find that they are
no longer backed bv the United
States Govruinent in their defiance
of law and order, it is safe to predict
Uiut we shall hear no mure ot race
disturbances in the South, though
negro murderers may sometimes ue
irregularly hanged, as white murder
ers frequently are both there and
elsewhere in the United Stales,
Charles Francis Adams
Deelares for
Tlldeu.
From th Boston Herald.
In a brief interview with the Hon.
Charles Francis Adams at hisQuincy
home immediately atler the reception
of the news ot Gov. Tildeti's Domi
nium, tne veteran statesman very
frankly gave his opinion ot the nomi
nation. Mr. Adams expressed his surpriso
at the Convention s arriving at so
speedy a decision. That Mr. Tilden
had secured the necessary two-thirds
on tho second ballot Bhowed his great
strength in his parly.
Mr. Tilden, said Mr. Adams, is a
formidable candidate, especially on a
hard-money platform. With Mr.
Tilden and this plartform the Demu-
cratio party stands better,- morally,
before the people than does tho Rad
ical party. Hayes is nothing; re
spectable, to doubt, but without any
record as a reformer.
Tilden is in himself a platform. He
has made his record. Ot the two,
said Mr. Adams, very decidedly, 1
would infinitely prefer to see Mr. Til
den in the Executive Chair. Mr.
Adams further said that he had fear-
d Tilden's enemies would stab him
in the back. His foes were jobbers
and corrupt men. He will have hid
den enemies to encounter in the com
ing campaign. The traditionary dis
cipline of tte Dernocratio party, the
party pride and inclination, will cause
all Democrats to fall into line for Mr.
Tilden.
Mr. Adams also said he .thought
Mr. Tilden would carry his own
State. The Independent vote will
probably d.vide, those with Republi
can predilections going for Hayes.
However, Gov. lilden will secure the
support of the opponents of corrup
tion who desire to see real work ac
complished. The Republican plat
form is weak, etpeciaiiy in us diii.ii-
cial plank. This was an endeavor to
catch both the "soft" and "hard"
money men.
As to to the other candidates he
fore the St. Louis Convention, Mr.
Adams thought them all weak. Han
cock would have been bt?ateo on ac
count, partly, ot his being a military
man. There is A reaction, perhaps
temporary, against military men, ow
ing to the dissatWfaclion with Gen.
Grant. Thurmao would have been a
fair candidate but not strong. Hen
dricks had do national record .ot im
portance. (
Tilden's war record is a gocd one.
He is all right there. As President,
Mr. Tilden would sweeo away cor
rapt men and abuses.

nave innioted many humiliations on
Louisiana, have brought hor proud
head to the dust and covered her peo
ple with shame many times since they
were inaugurated. But there remain
ed a deeper humiliation and a more
burning Bhame to bo inflicted npon
her, and that has been accomplished
during the past wet-k in this ciiy at
tho St. Charles Theatre. It was hero
that tho representatives or u-...-.,
that governs here and tho officers ol
thoir government met in convention,
and by their couduct not only dis
graced tho Slote as it never was dis
graced before, but shamed mankind
by their beastly acts. Ignoranoo,
drunkennoss and brutality have
marked their every act and signalized
etery day's proceedings. From the
fust hour of their assembling up to
their adjournment Saturday night
their proceedings have resembled
more the orgies of the voudous than
tho deliberations of civilized men.
All prelenso of the observance of or
der was thrown aside and the hall rung
with oalhs, howls and yells, only to
be occasionly varied by the crash ot
furniture and the stamping ot the feet
of men engaged in combat. Drunk
ard was met by drunkard, blasphem
er by blasphemer, while all tilings
held dear by a free and enlightened
people have been scornfully cast aside
and trod upon. And these are the
people who rule tho destinies of this
great. Stale one ot the sisterhood of
our proud republic. Theso are
men who still toast that they are en
titled tv their niimcrleal strength to
continue their rule. Can it be true?
We appeal to every intclhgent God
tearing, country loving man in this
Statu, shall this coniinuo? Or shall
there nor be a Union of pnlri tUin,
virtue ami intelligence against this
beastly and b 'soiled crowd ?

DR. GWI!f,
This eentleman is historic lie wsi
one of the first United States Senators
frcm California, and took a prominent
and active part in the early politics
of the Golden State. Circumstance"
over which he had no control induced
him to join his fortune with Maximil
ian in Mexico, from which fact be is
sometimes faaetionsly styled the
"Duke of Sonora," by reason of a ru
mored contract between himself ana
Maximilian on their gaining posses
sion ot territory in the northern
States of Mexico. He is a large man,
pulling down 250 perhaps, ana is 65
years old. He likes to talk, and talks
well. He has long, while hair, which
frames a smoothly shaven, ruddy face.
He was always fond of crowds, and
seems to.be nono the less so in bis
growing old age. .
