J. M. KkATiNH. f Memphis. Tenn. MEMPHIS APPEAL FRIDAY MOKM.VG, MAX IS 1877. Hl'CH ADO ABOIT SOTniXG. Washintrton is all aeoe. There has not been as much excitement in this modern Gomarah since the battle of IJul! Run. The men are walking up and down Pennsylvania with clenched fists. Knitted brows oml mmr.renwil lir. while the women are exploding with a volley of hysterical screams. The consternation is equal to that which followed the fiat that Carthage must be destroyed. The reader will anxiously in quire the cause of this hub-bu- b such a tempest of wrath. With a sad heart, amid the earthquake rocking of a convulsed world, we proceed to give the reasons which has caused this tempest in a tea-po- t. There les in Washine-to- Citv a "citizen of Afrjcan descent" who glories in the euphon- - oua name ot t redencK uougiass. i nis ven erable Ethiopian was a few days since made United States marshal for the District of Columbia by the President who seeks to crive resuectabilif r to larceny. The duties of the office which eecures to the sable marshal a salary of ten thousand dollars per annum, not requiring all his valuable time, he quietly folded his manuscripts and stole away to Baltimore, where he delivered a lecture to a perspiring audience of gaping loungers, in which he pronounced Washington a den of thieves a ilace so infamously and notori ously corrupt that he had scrupu lously avoided raising his tender brood of curly-heade- d pickaninnies in Washimrton Citv. For two lonir hours the irate Douglass defamed Washington society, Lake the New York vitriol-ma- n ot many years ago.he squirted his acids upon everything and evervbodv. According to the hideous picture he painted, the men were all knaves, and the women all tainted. When this lec ture, as reported by the Baltimore papers, reached Washington, the whole community was frantic with indignation. The toper sub- stituted curses on the head of the impudent "nigger" for his ."morning grog, and men, women and children were so busy in putting on the war-pai- nt that they forgot their scrambled eggs and hot slap-jack- s. Every body hurried to and fro along Pennsylvania avenue, all anxious to do something to fire the magazine, but not knowing how to go about it. An indignation meeting was sug gested, but prudent tax-paye- rs and cautious landlords were of the opinion that, if so much combustible material were brought together, a conflagration would be inevitable, and it was finally determined to treat the case on the homeopathy principle, and allow the com munity to vent its wrath separately and alone, or in small squads. Men and boys were popping into stores and spinning around hotels and saloons with monster petitions to the President for the removal of the calumniator of a saintly community, sanctified and made holy by such righteous men as Ben Butler, Boss Shepherd, Zach Chandler, and the chime of Parson Newman's bells. A whole day and night were given up to curses and exe- crationa, and the next morning the ptess re newed the attack upon the poor old negro by pouring upon him a flood of abuse. Forney's .Sunday Chronicle fired a double-shotte- d gun of grape and canister, and demanded the immediate dismissal of the veteran liar. The Sunday Herald boiled with rage. The Ga- zette exhausted the vocabulary in abusing the "dirty befouler" of the saintly denizens of the capital of the nation. The Washington Rational Republican, which went into wild paroxysms of rejoicing at the nomination of a "gentleman of African 'scent" to the mar-shalsh- ip of the nation's capital, denounced him now in a lengthy tirade. It said that " "by his own act he had sunk to the lowest depths of degradation. He has thrown off the cloak of hypocrisy he has worn, and stands forth in the naked hide- ous depravity of a slanderer, lost to all ideas of decency and propriety." And "in the names of justice and decency we (it) de- mand the removal of this slanderer from the position he now holds." The Rational an has been stigmatizing the people of the south for ten years as assassins, white leaguers, brutes, kuklux, murderers of poor negroes, and now it proposes to crucify Fred Douglass for applying to the people of Wash- ington the language with which it has de- famed the south for many years. After the storm comes the calm. When the thunder and the lightning have spent themselves there is perfect serenity, and now that the damaged society of Washington has been restored to its purity through the filtering process of in- dignant abuse, it is hoped that all will soon be quiet on the Potomac. It strikes us that there has been too much exhibition of feeling at the folly of a very contemptible negro. A weight has been given to the words of Fred Douglass which they do not deserve. Persist- ent protestations of virtue arc no indications of chastity, and the excessive indignation of the people of Washington indicate that there is much truth in what has been said. Worse things have been said of Washington than were uttered by the negro marshal in his recent Baltimore speech. Near thirty years ago a United States senator declared that the national capital ought to be emptied into .the Potomac on account of its general corruption. All cities are alike, and are generally regarded as a seething caldron of corruption. A great metropolitan city is never disturbed by the calumnies and abuses of mountebank lecturers. Paris is never ex- cited at the charge of corruption, and New York would smile at anything Fred Douglass might say as to the habits and morals of her people. It is only provincial cities that know their weakness and the need of puffing that are sensitive to any reflection upon their pu rity. As to Fred Douglass, he is an arrant humbug, caressed and worshipped by his own race, for whom he has done nothing. He never did anything for his race, but has talked much for his own in- terest. The death rate of blacks in Washington, as in Memphis and all southern cities, is largely in exce9 of the whites. The mortuary reports are staring Douglass in the face, and yet as a leader of his race, he has never inquired into the cause or at- tempted the amelioration of the condition of h" I5u'he,is hr i ou ut; itia tu.c 111 iuca all ulajui, jvi Uic, instead of instructing theiu as to tne tneans by which to prevent the race from be coming extinct. e are a little curious to see how the President will rex pond to the popular clamor for the removal of this obnox ious office-holde- r. If Douglass were a white man he would be dismissed forthwith. Being a negro he is likely to escape merited punish- ment; and if he does his patron must suffer the consequences. The appointment of such a troublesome specimen of the black brother- hood to such an office was a bad blunder, and Hayes probably realizes the fact now as he never did 1IOKK VIGOR. JIFRt 1IAXTH! The New Orleans Time, on Saturday last called the attention of the merchants there to the large amount of trade that city has lost from want of vigor to prevent it fulling into other hands. We copy a paragraph trom tne article, and suggest that there are cases, even here in Memphis, to which the strictures of the New Orleans editor very nearly apply. When we think of the day when the St. Francis, the White rivers, and a considerable portion of the Arkansas did their business in Memphis, we perceive that more territory has been allowed to slide from us than ought to have done, when we con sider the business facilities Memphis possess es now, that it did not own when the trade we speak of was centered in this city. good boat is almost, useless, unless the cars are industriously and skilfully handled, and a city possesses advantages from position and from nature in vain, unless those advantages are turned to practical use. The Times says "We do not think the circumstances of the past are a sufficient excuse for the amazing 8upineness of our business men as a body We think the loss of trade i9 largely due to mere inertia and a silly over-estima- of themselves, which is no better than stupidity, They tit in their dignity like an ancient three- - decker, dreaming of the glories of the past. unconscious that their style is superanu- - ated and their armament a laughing-stoc- k The merchant who formerly shipped large in- voices to Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama and Arkansas, fondly imagines that he is as im portant as he was thirty years ago, and that the country dealers are only waiting for some thing or other to turn up in order to rush to his arms again. That ardent rush will never be. The country merchants are meditating nothing of the kind. Where New Orleans is as accessible as other cities, they may, other things being equal, prefer to trade here, but they will not pay two cents a year for the privilege. Henceforth forever they must be secured by superior or at least equal induce- ments. When our merchants reach this common-sens- e and efficient basis they will accomplish something; not before." A HEVERR REBl'KE. The Dayton (Ohio) Journal takes the po sition that " the people of the north who sac rificed themselves feel that those who sacri ficed their lives not merely to save the Union, but for human liberty, deserve a recognition quite distinct from that which is due to men, however brave they were, who fought not only to destroy the Union, but to perpetuate human slavery. Let the south honor its brave dead, but let the north maintain her manhood by observing that there is a dis tinction between the cause of traitors and that of patriots. We have no flowers to dec orate the grave of treason, especially for treason intended to perpetuate human slave ry, ine Cincinnati l tines pounces upon tne Dayton editor and pounds him in the follow ing style: " Is it worse to decorate the graves of the Confederate dead than it is to give honor and high place to the Confederate living? Is it intolerable to strew the graves of Lee and Johnston with flowers and commendable to re ceive Hampton into the w tute House, and to give to Nicholls the national support and favor? Is it unmanly to place a flower by the modest stone where Jackson sleeps, but patriotic to take Key into the President's council? The Dayton Journal has allowed its sympathies to get the better of its judg ment, its emotions to run away with its con- sistency. If the north can 'maintain her ( ?) manhood by observing that there is a distinc tion between the cause of traitors and that of patriots,' by what propriety is the observa- tion of that disLnction not extended to the living as well as the dead? The Journal is too sagacious not to see that there is a ne- - cesity upon it for a rectification of its posi tion." OHIO CERTAINLY DEMOCRATIC. The Democrats of Ohio are sanguine of an overwhelming victory in October next. It is all very well to make fun of Mr. Hayes for taking care of his Ohio friends. He is pledged to one terra, say the people, and he certainly can't be filling the offices with his placemen. In 1881, Ohio will have to send to the United States senate a successor to Mr. Thurman. On the fourth of March, 1881, Hayes leaves the White House. It isn't so wonderful, after all, th.it Mr. Hayes is putting his Ohio friends into office. Make a note of this. The Re- publicans of Ohio are much perplexed as to whether the Slate convention, wSten it meets to nominate candidates for State officers, will indorse Mr. Hayes's policy or not. It would be a signal discourtesy for the convention not to indorse; and yet, there are a great many Republicans who declare it cannot af- ford to indorse that to do so would lose them the State. The Ohio Re- publicans are in the condition of the buf-- taio bull that died because it could never make up its mind whether to join a drove it saw going for salt or another drove going for grass. He wanted ta go with the larger crowd, and never could quite make up his mind which drove was the most numerous. "He" died between salt and grass." While the Radicals are thus divided, the Democrats are united in a determination to elect a ticket composed of Democrats who were contending for the principles to which Hayes has become a convert, and which he opposed until made triumphant by the election of Tilden. THE ClIAWE IX LOl'lsIAXA. Hon. Randall Gibson speaks cheerfully of the improved condition of affairs in Louisi- ana. The State bonds have advanced since Packard was overthrown from sixty to eighty-fou- r, and he thinks the bonds will be at par is three weeks. Real estate has advanced twenty-f- ive cents. A better feeling prevails among the people, and many of them have set to repairing their houses. General Gibson says that Louisiana is going to be the most pros- perous community in the south. The same information is given as to the improved con- dition of South Carolina, and the redemption of Arkansas and Mississippi has been fol- lowed by the same results. These facts af- ford a terrible commentary on the scandalous Radical administrations underwhich the south has so long groaned. And the party that has so long ruled and ruined the south asks southern Democrats to aban- don their organization and desert their old friends, aud to become absorbed into the Hayes whig of the Republican party. The Democrats of Alabama, Arkansas, Virginia, Mississippi freed themselves from Radicalism in defiance of the opposition of Hayes, and they will be true to themselves and the party to which they are indebted for their free- dom. AMERICAN- - JIAM IACTIHEK. One of the most interesting problems now existing in this country is that as to its abil- ity to manufacture cotton goods at prices that will enable us to compete successfully ' with THE MEMPHIS DAILY APPEAL-FRIDA- Y. MAY IS, 1877. England. Recent efforts in that direction have given great encouragement, and if con gress would modify some existing legal ob- structions the chances of success would be much increased. One good thing has been gained, as a basis that cannot but very great ly aid enterprise in this direction American cottons are valued abroad as being much su perior to British goods. With quality in our favor, we shall likely be able to solve the problem victoriously. A writer in the New York Bulletin of Monday said: "Foreign markets are taking increasing quantities of drills, ducks and coarse and medium sheet ings; and in a moderate way, not yet of any great effect, our blanched cottons are moving abroad." Ibis trade is, of course, in its in fancy, but let a good foothold once be got, and it will soon grow to giant proportion. If there ever was encouragement to start a cot- ton manufactory in Memphis, it u now, when capital is abundant and cheap and the stimu lus of an opeuing foreign trade adding vastly to the grounds which insure succtss. VIRUISIA. The southern States always respect the po- tential voice of Virginia. The Republicans and the office-seekin- g recruits from the Dem- ocratic party who favor the party in power expect to overcome the forty-fou- r thousand majority cast against Hayes in November. The St. I)uis Republican is of the opinion that any sensible person ought to see, though, that is the hight of folly to expect any such defection. There is one living, vital issue that win always hold Democrats together, so long as the Republican party exists, and that is opposition to Republicanism. A sinner cannot be transformed into a saint by one act of tardy justice, and there is just as much corruption and dishonesty inside the Repub- lican party as at any time during its eight jears rule under Grant. Hayes is not the Republican party by any means. When the Republican party goes out of existence alto- gether there may be demoralization and de fection in the Democratic ranks, but so long as it remains to le fought Democrats will stand together to do the fighting. TnE Richmond Whig, of the fourteenth, devotes six columns and a half to the recep tion given to the western excursionists in that city. A YIS1T TO GOVERXOR XICHOLLS. How the Hero of Louisiana Looks The 'Bulldozed" parishes Pros- pects for the Future A diood. Word for Packard. Correspondence of the Courier-Journa- l, 14th : i our corresDoneent has not the slight est disposition to make a political raid into the affairs of Louisiana, but a little more than mere curiosity prompted me, in company with Itev. Mr. Baeley, ot lrenton, Kentucky, to pay our personal respects to his reigrning excellency, Governor Aicholls. liis othce is in the old St. Louis hotel, now used as a Statehouse. Hard by the closed door of the governor's office sat a heavy-se- t colored indi vidual, who seemed to be doing the honors ot admission. As he politely invited us in, as suring us that the governor would be in in a tew mmutes, it was easy to detect in his man- ner some gratification that gentlemen from Kentucky had called to see the eoverner. Un entering the office we were shown a solid, sensible-lookin- sr crentlemen. who. upon mu tual introduction, we lound to be n- or 1'enn. ot the M i,nery trovern- - ment. A free conversation ensued. Governor renn, during his remarks, spoke of Packard as one ot the best men ot his party, as a man ot ability, in regard to THE FRAUDULENT ELECTION OF HAYES, he was emphatic; but, as the parties had agreed to leave the question to the arbitra ment ot the commission, and as that commis sion had decided infavorof Hayes, he thought Hayes could not be censured tor accepting the decision. About this time governor iNicholls entered the room, and was formally intro duced to us by Governor Penn. His greeting was cordial. Uovernor IMcholls is. we should judge, about torty years ot age, some hve feet eight inches high, weight about one hundred and sixty, dark hair, rather ruddy complex ion, noss not large but slightly roman, darK- erav eves, small brown mustache, with a calm and determined expression of features. He has but one arm and one leg, the latter, however, so well mated by a cork leg as to make the deformity unnoticeable. The con versation turned upon TIT E POLITICAL SITUATION. We asked him Questions as to the meaning ot the .ioint parade ot both parties in thanks tnvine on the tenth: ot the loundation ot all the bulldozing stories; ot the financial condi tion r ot the relative tendency ot the parties in Louisiana, and of the eff ects of Mr. Hayes's southern policy. 11 is replies to all these ques tions were calm, clear, without equivocation. showing that he was a man of positions, firm and determined. He said the joint parade of the soldiery was designed to show that the bitterness ot party teeling was yielding to an era of better things. His discussion of the bulldozinars in some ot the Louisiana parishes was apparently sincere and truthful. He said there was nothing in it beyond the ordinary electioneering schemes, such as might and do occur in the other states; that no doubt both parties engaged in the ordinary electioneering schemes; that the ELIZA PINK8TON and many killing stories had nothing to do with politics. He went into details as to the causes of many of the disturbances; stating that the cotton was often left upon the plants for months, and hands hired to pick it. Often it was stolen in small quantities and sold for whisky to the little stores that were established for the nefarious practice by un- principled men of both parties. No law could reach these petty thefts.. The good citizens of all parties felt outraged, and in e, independent of politics, formed vigilant committees. These committees, in breaking up drunken rows and destroying the establishments carrying on this nefarious business, laid the foundation for the bulldoz ing stories. THE FINANCIAL CONDITION of the State was hopeful. During the past two months the fctate bonds had advanced from fifty to eighty-eig- ht cents, and would doubtless be at par soon. As to parties, he believed the State to be Democratic. It would depend on circumstances as to the effect of the President's policy on parties, but thus far it had inaugurated AN ERA OF GOOD FEELINGS, and that the whites of both parties, save a few of the immediate carpetbag followers, were heartily in support of Hayes's southern policy, and that changes were constantly occurring among the colored people. He thought the effect of Democratic rule in Lou- isiana would remove prejudices from the minds of the colored men, and make them better citizens and more Democratic. He anticipates no further difficulty in Louisiana, but looks hopefully forward to A CAI1EER OF PROSPERITY. He says that common politics attract but little attention here now, after the exciting Bcenes since the war. Gratified with our visit, we left Governor Nicholls, after re- peated and cordial solicitations to remain longer, with renewed faith in the future of our whole southern people, whose grand his- tory has not all been written. The Nicholls and the Hamptons are f till alive; and a sub- lime spectacle occurred on May 10th, when, the first time since the war, the two soldieries, but a little while ago in hostile array against each other, marched the streets of New Or- leans and stepped time to &ie same music. ALL LOUISIANA REJOICES, and the grand people of the Crescent City wear the smile of blooming hope. Before quitting the Statehouse we witnessed an un- usual assemblage of colored, or rather, for the most part, half-colore- d, men, anxiously waiting for something to turn up. Upon in- quiry we found that it was the last of the Packard police, awaiting the payment of their wages, which had been ordered. In the ab- sence of any harmful feeling to anypolibcal party, this hasty sketch is given, in the hope that the example of Louisiana and South Carolina may awaken a new era of good feel- ing throughout our whole country, binding us indissolubly together on the principles of eternal justice. j. w. r.

WASIIIX.TOX. Inter-ra- t ins Letter Iron Oar Own Cor respondent II aj en's Vinit to Fhlla delptala Ered Douglass In Trouble Etr. From Our Own Correspondent Wihinvr.-mv- . Mav 14. Rarrin? the mut terings of war from the old world, the events of the week worthy a place in history nar rows down to the President's visit to I hila delphia, Fred Douglass's speech, and the po tent voice ot rumor in regard to certain cabi- net changes, mcde significant by corrobora tive evidence and the theory of proba bilities and "Old, Prob." although some times in error, seldom jests. Well, Mr, Hayes went to Philadelphia by invitation to assist in the opening of THK PERPETUAL EXHIBITION, an enterprise built un of the debris of the fa mous Centennial, and gilded all over with the events and memories of the first grand celebration of the nation's birthday. It will doubtless prove a good thing for the Quaker Citv. and in that sense we cannot forbear using the hackneyed but significant expression that antilies to so many things so well. "therea millions in it." The major part of the administration household went. Jn tact, the President and most of the distinguished officials and gentlemen at the capital went. with a goodly sprinkling ot filibusters in tent on catching a chance to pour into the Presidential ear eulogiums on this or that sceme, speculation, policy, or official change, the hrst place to smile came in when the pu erims passed Baltimore. Ordinarily, the de Dot would be crowded with anxious sight seers and and it would be extraordinary it numberous delegations loyal citizens did not take advantage of such an opportune occasion to pay their respects ana invoKe an expression oi sentiment con cerning the welfare of the republic and all mankind, including THE FORKION BELLIGERENTS. But, ordinary or extraordinary as it may appear, there were no such happenings, and the intelligent face of the President wore an anxious expression as he turned to tr the car, after having made a gallant charge on the rear plattorm in expectation ot meet ing a sea of upturned faces, anxious to hear and behold the premium governor ot Ohio, the lather ot the new policy, and the repre sentative man ot the minority ot his country men. in lact, nobody came but the usual number of modest hackmen, hotel-runne- rs and newsboys, and the train PASSED ON WITHOUT INCIDENT. But the place to widen out into a broad grin with a healthy chuckle comes in when. on the occasion of a public reception given at 1'hiladelphia in honor ot the President, none of the local politicians of eminence were present, and even Grant him self had a chill, and was being blanketed and rubbed down at the Union League rooms at the very moment when the brilliant social events accompanying the reception were oc- curring. These are trifles, but there is a mean ing and a moral. Where does the President stand with the skill, the brains and the power of his own party arrayed against him on the one hand, and the devoted, earnest and solid Democracy, fully appreciating the good he does, but feeling a higher sense of duty to defend their time-honor- principles, opposed to him on the other? Surely, it must be in THE BLOODY CHASM, down among the noble minority, made con spicuous by their paucity, which' he so ably represents. Fred Douglass is in trouble a trouble he may have courted deliberately, but which will undoubtedly have a different ending from the one sought. After receiving the proud and lucrative appointment of marshal of the District of Columbia, he takes occasion in a public lecture to slur the office, misrepresent the i resident, and to malign the people ot the District in a vicious, cow ardly way. The lecture was well written and scholarly, and more than likely it was pre pared for him by some of the great lights of the tSlaine-Morto- n wing ot the party tor a purpose. He has thus set at defiance those who put him in the place, as well as those who, although opposed to his selection, grace- fully acquiesced, doubtless for the purpose of being removed, becoming a martyr, and strengthening the Radical element of his party. It is too thin. Petitions for his re moval are being extensively circulate.!, and are being signed very readily by persons of all shades ot opinion. He will be removed. and will not be a martyr, although he may be AN ANGEL, it he repents, it is stated on good au thority that Attorney-Gener- al Devens is weary and would prefer to serve his country as its representative abroad. He is slow and heavy, while the place requires a man of quick perception and resource. It is thought Secretary M'Crary will take his place. v ho is to be secretary ot war is not known, senator Gordon has been spoken of, but he denies it, and says the report was cir culated to injure him. It is significant, how ever, that he is here. The weather has come on fair and spring like. The first families are contemplating summer excursions, and putting their houses in order. A good many are getting married and otherwise 'arranging their usual spring work. b. TELEGRAPH BRIEFS. London. May 16: No outbreak of the rinderpest since May 8th. New York.

Panola County, Miss., May 15. Looking over a volume ot the old hnciiclomntia Americana, published in 18)0 by Francis Lieber ex al., I hnd in the article lennes-see- " the following statements: "In this State, as well as in Missouri, are ancient burying-ground- s, where the skeletons seem all to have been pigmies. Even the graves in which the bodies are deposited are seldom more than two and one-ha- lf feet long, and the teeth show that these are skeletons of adults." Are the statements above-mention- con firmed by more recent discoveries, or are they erroneous r 1 he graves ot Indians buried in a sitting posture might rendily be mistaken for the graves of pigmies by perspns incom- petent to reconstiuct the skeletons for meas- urement. H. A. M. bTHE CAKTETIJAGCaKKS. The Recent Political Condition in the Month as Viewed by a London Pa- perAn Earnest .Hope that Carpetbag Government is at ail End. We mav liODe. savs the London Standard. the period of "carpetbag" govern ment in the south the rule ot northern ad venturers supported by ignorant negro votes in the teeth of the whole educated and tax-payi- body of citizens is at an end. Only the most extreme Radicals will regret it. The men who, taking advantage of the disfran chisement of great bodies of southern whites and the proscription of every leading south- ern statesman and soldier, took up the trade of agitators in order to make themselves rulers of States in which they had no legiti- mate interest, have done nothing to benefit the negro, much to injure the whites, and much more to produce bitterness and distrust between the two races. They have made their own fortunes at the expense of their constituents. They secured the negro vote by promises they never attempted to fulfill; promises which only the deepest ignorance could have believed, but which con- tributed for a long time to keep the negroes idle, discontented and an- gry. They imposed upon a people almost utterly ruined by war, devastation and eman cipation, taxes which during the highest prosperity ot the soutn would have been con- sidered intolerable. In their actual condition the property-holder- s were utterly unable to pay these imposts, and numbers of valuable estates were sold for payment of taxes trom whose expenditure the fetate derived little or no benefit. At the same timo the intrusive governments contracted enormous loans on the most reckless terms, by which they and their northern friends who bad undertook the transaction alike profited at the expense of the , southern tax-paye- r. In one Stat, since .r ii j, a i i- .r- - icoii, me oeut. nas Lieen increased irom nve millions to forty; in many others obligations almost equally enormous and unwarrantable have been undertaken The money has been expended not in repairing the waste of war or enabling the people to reorganize their revolutionized system ot industry, but in making the fortunes of the adventurers, their hangers-on- , tneir northern allies and advo cates, and those negro leaders whose influ- ence enables them to exact a share of the spoils. In those southern States which have remained longest under the rule of ihe ad venturers, the latter have done more to im poverish the people than did the war itself. The administration of the law has been gross ly partial. jNothmg but the strictest enforce ment of legitimate contracts and the stern discouragement of all " disorder and bad faith by the public authority could have taught slaves emancipated by a conquering enemy to work steadily and loyally as free men for wages. The northern adventurers, caring nothing for the intei ests of communities to which they were strangers, thought on'y of winning and securing the negro vote, and encouraged the blacks to gather in the towns, to lounge, to pilfer, and to idle in the country- - No planter or farmer could obtain justice against the negroes who killed his cattle, stole his pigs and fowls, plundered his crops, and too often insulted his family; still less against laborers who, having received wages in advance, deserted at the critical moment when the cotton or to- bacco fields were liable to utter ruin from a week's neglect. Wherever the whites were successful, as in Georgia and Virginia, in wresting power from the intruders, the change from extravagance and anarchy to economy and order was immediate and strik ing, i et trom none ot the btates where this occurred were there any such complaints of maltreatment ot negroes, or any such ugly stories of race collisions, as constantly came from those quarters where the '' carpetbag " governments ruled by the vote, and nominally in the interest, of the blacks. mysterious Disappearance Patai Acc- identHeavy ltains in Kansas. St. Louis, May 17. Matthew O'Reilly, a lawyer of this city, has disappeared under suspicious circumstances. It is said that he windled clients and mends out ot Irom hve to ten thousand dollars, and that there is a woman in the case. He has a wife and three children. S. F. Dixon, said to have been an engineer on a railroad in Calilorma, was run over and killed by a train in Leavenworth, yester- day- . . . ery heavy rains have prevailed in Kansas for several davs past, and considerable dam age has been done the various railroads, in the way of land-slide- s, washes, etc. Yesterday the heaviest rain for twenty years fell at Leaven- worth, flooding creeks, carrying awav houses and doing several thousand dollars damage. Two Vessels of the Russian Fleet De parted. New York. May 17. Two frigates of the Russian flt weighed anchor at half-pa-st ten this morning and steamed down the river. On nearing the bay at the battery the United States frigate Minnesota hoisted her flag, her ailors manned the yards, aud she opened her batteries and saluted the Russians. They responded. On proceeding down the bay to sea the different forts on the route saluted, to all of which the Russians responded, gun for gun. At half-pa-st eleven both vessels had passed out to sea. Revenue Officials Shot in Virginia. Washington. Mav 17. J. H.

A very large crowd of people were assembled at tne whart, and Ueneral Grant was loudlv chtered on his arrival. As the steamer lelt the wharf the people grew very enthusiastic, and cheering, waving handkerchiefs and other manifestations of pleasure were in- dulged in. The shipping on the river was very generally decorated, and the ferryboats. steam tugs and all, saluted the excursion party with their whistles and flags. When passing the Russian corvette Cmysser that vessel ran up the American flag and fired salute of twenty-on- e guns. The Twilight will proceed to Newcastle, where General Grant will be transteired to the steamship Indiana, in which vessel he will sail to Liver- - fool. The revenue cutter Hamilton, which been placed at the disposal ot General (rant by President Hayes, was used for the purpose of carrying Mrs. Grant and a num ber ot personal menus down the river. Mrs Grant was escorted on board by George W Chikls and wife, A. J. Drexel and J. W Paul and family. In passing the navy yard the Hamilton was greeted with a salute from the receiving ship. New Castle, Del., May 10. Eight steam ers and three revenue cutters came into the harbor to await the steamship Indiana, which will bear Grant, wife and son to Europe. Ihe revenue cutter Hamilton, with Mrs. Grant and friends on board, the ferry boat, with a parly trom .Philadelphia and Lamden, and a steamboat, with tjeneral Grant and friends, came down the river with the Indiana. Mrs. Grant was transferred from the Hamilton off Deep Water point, and the and his party were taken on board off here at half-p- at three o'clock in the evening. Everything in port was dec- orated with bunting. The Indiana passed amid the firing of cannon and blowing of whistles by steamers. The wharves and housetops were crowded. A large number of people were in from the rural districts, be sides a train load from Wilmington.

    MEMPHIS APPEALFRIDAY MOKM.VG, MAX IS 1877.

    Hl'CH ADO ABOIT SOTniXG.Washintrton is all aeoe. There has not

    been as much excitement in this modernGomarah since the battle of IJul! Run. Themen are walking up and down Pennsylvania

    with clenched fists. Knitted browsoml mmr.renwil lir. while the womenare exploding with a volley of hystericalscreams. The consternation is equal to thatwhich followed the fiat that Carthage mustbe destroyed. The reader will anxiously inquire the cause of this hub-bu- b such atempest of wrath. With a sad heart, amidthe earthquake rocking of a convulsedworld, we proceed to give the reasons whichhas caused this tempest in a tea-po- t. There

    les in Washine-to- Citv a "citizen ofAfrjcan descent" who glories in the euphon- -

    oua name ot t redencK uougiass. i nis venerable Ethiopian was a few days since madeUnited States marshal for the District ofColumbia by the President who seeks tocrive resuectabilif r to larceny. The duties ofthe office which eecures to the sable marshala salary of ten thousand dollars per annum,not requiring all his valuable time, he quietlyfolded his manuscripts and stole away toBaltimore, where he delivered a lecture to aperspiring audience of gaping loungers, inwhich he pronounced Washington a den ofthieves a ilace so infamously and notoriously corrupt that he had scrupulously avoided raising his tenderbrood of curly-heade- d pickaninnies inWashimrton Citv. For two lonir hours theirate Douglass defamed Washington society,Lake the New York vitriol-ma- n ot manyyears ago.he squirted his acids upon everythingand evervbodv. According to the hideouspicture he painted, the men were all knaves,and the women all tainted. When this lecture, as reported by the Baltimore papers,reached Washington, the whole communitywas frantic with indignation. The toper sub-stituted curses on the head of the impudent"nigger" for his ."morning grog, and men,women and children were so busy in puttingon the war-pai- nt that they forgot theirscrambled eggs and hot slap-jack- s. Everybody hurried to and fro along Pennsylvaniaavenue, all anxious to do something to firethe magazine, but not knowing how to goabout it. An indignation meeting was suggested, but prudent tax-paye- rs and cautiouslandlords were of the opinion that, if so muchcombustible material were brought together,a conflagration would be inevitable, and itwas finally determined to treat the case onthe homeopathy principle, and allow the community to vent its wrath separately andalone, or in small squads. Men and boyswere popping into stores and spinning aroundhotels and saloons with monster petitions to thePresident for the removal of the calumniatorof a saintly community, sanctified and madeholy by such righteous men as Ben Butler,Boss Shepherd, Zach Chandler, and the chimeof Parson Newman's bells. A whole dayand night were given up to curses and exe-crationa, and the next morning the ptess renewed the attack upon the poor old negro bypouring upon him a flood of abuse. Forney's

    .Sunday Chronicle fired a double-shotte- d gunof grape and canister, and demanded theimmediate dismissal of the veteran liar. TheSunday Herald boiled with rage. The Ga-zette exhausted the vocabulary in abusing the"dirty befouler" of the saintly denizens ofthe capital of the nation. The WashingtonRational Republican, which went into wildparoxysms of rejoicing at the nomination ofa "gentleman of African 'scent" to the mar-shalsh- ip

    of the nation's capital, denouncedhim now in a lengthy tirade. It said that

    " "by his own act he had sunk to the lowestdepths of degradation. He has thrownoff the cloak of hypocrisy he has worn,and stands forth in the naked hide-ous depravity of a slanderer, lost to allideas of decency and propriety." And "inthe names of justice and decency we (it) de-mand the removal of this slanderer from theposition he now holds." The Rational an

    has been stigmatizing the people ofthe south for ten years as assassins, whiteleaguers, brutes, kuklux, murderers of poornegroes, and now it proposes to crucify FredDouglass for applying to the people of Wash-ington the language with which it has de-famed the south for many years. After thestorm comes the calm. When the thunderand the lightning have spent themselves thereis perfect serenity, and now that the damagedsociety of Washington has been restored toits purity through the filtering process of in-dignant abuse, it is hoped that all will soonbe quiet on the Potomac. It strikes us thatthere has been too much exhibition of feelingat the folly of a very contemptible negro. Aweight has been given to the words of FredDouglass which they do not deserve. Persist-ent protestations of virtue arc no indicationsof chastity, and the excessive indignation ofthe people of Washington indicate thatthere is much truth in what hasbeen said. Worse things have been saidof Washington than were uttered by thenegro marshal in his recent Baltimore speech.Near thirty years ago a United States senatordeclared that the national capital ought to beemptied into .the Potomac on account of itsgeneral corruption. All cities are alike, andare generally regarded as a seething caldronof corruption. A great metropolitan city isnever disturbed by the calumnies and abusesof mountebank lecturers. Paris is never ex-cited at the charge of corruption, and NewYork would smile at anything Fred Douglassmight say as to the habits and morals of herpeople. It is only provincial cities that knowtheir weakness and the need of puffing thatare sensitive to any reflection upon their purity. As to Fred Douglass, he is an arranthumbug, caressed and worshipped by his ownrace, for whom he has done nothing. Henever did anything for his race, buthas talked much for his own in-terest. The death rate of blacks inWashington, as in Memphis and all southerncities, is largely in exce9 of the whites. Themortuary reports are staring Douglass in theface, and yet as a leader of his race, he hasnever inquired into the cause or at-tempted the amelioration of the condition

If Douglass were a whiteman he would be dismissed forthwith. Beinga negro he is likely to escape merited punish-ment; and if he does his patron must sufferthe consequences. The appointment of sucha troublesome specimen of the black brother-hood to such an office was a bad blunder, andHayes probably realizes the fact now as henever did

    1IOKK VIGOR. JIFRt 1IAXTH!The New Orleans Time, on Saturday last

    called the attention of the merchants thereto the large amount of trade that city haslost from want of vigor to prevent it fullinginto other hands. We copy a paragraphtrom tne article, and suggest that there arecases, even here in Memphis, to which thestrictures of the New Orleans editor verynearly apply. When we think of the daywhen the St. Francis, the White rivers, anda considerable portion of the Arkansas didtheir business in Memphis, we perceive thatmore territory has been allowed to slide fromus than ought to have done, when we consider the business facilities Memphis possesses now, that it did not own when the tradewe speak of was centered in this city.good boat is almost, useless, unless the carsare industriously and skilfully handled, anda city possesses advantages from position andfrom nature in vain, unless those advantagesare turned to practical use. The Times says"We do not think the circumstances of thepast are a sufficient excuse for the amazing8upineness of our business men as a bodyWe think the loss of trade i9 largely due tomere inertia and a silly over-estima- ofthemselves, which is no better than stupidity,They tit in their dignity like an ancient three- -decker, dreaming of the glories of the past.unconscious that their style is superanu- -ated and their armament a laughing-stoc- kThe merchant who formerly shipped large in-voices to Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama andArkansas, fondly imagines that he is as important as he was thirty years ago, and thatthe country dealers are only waiting for something or other to turn up in order to rush tohis arms again. That ardent rush will neverbe. The country merchants are meditatingnothing of the kind. Where New Orleans isas accessible as other cities, they may, otherthings being equal, prefer to trade here, butthey will not pay two cents a year for theprivilege. Henceforth forever they must besecured by superior or at least equal induce-ments. When our merchants reach thiscommon-sens- e and efficient basis they willaccomplish something; not before."

    A HEVERR REBl'KE.The Dayton (Ohio) Journal takes the po

    sition that " the people of the north who sacrificed themselves feel that those who sacrificed their lives not merely to save the Union,but for human liberty, deserve a recognitionquite distinct from that which is due to men,however brave they were, who fought notonly to destroy the Union, but to perpetuatehuman slavery. Let the south honor itsbrave dead, but let the north maintain hermanhood by observing that there is a distinction between the cause of traitors andthat of patriots. We have no flowers to decorate the grave of treason, especially fortreason intended to perpetuate human slavery, ine Cincinnati l tines pounces upon tneDayton editor and pounds him in the following style: " Is it worse to decorate the gravesof the Confederate dead than it is to givehonor and high place to the Confederateliving? Is it intolerable to strew thegraves of Lee and Johnston withflowers and commendable to receive Hampton into the w tute House,and to give to Nicholls the national supportand favor? Is it unmanly to place a flowerby the modest stone where Jackson sleeps,but patriotic to take Key into the President'scouncil? The Dayton Journal has allowedits sympathies to get the better of its judgment, its emotions to run away with its con-sistency. If the north can 'maintain her ( ?)manhood by observing that there is a distinction between the cause of traitors and that ofpatriots,' by what propriety is the observa-tion of that disLnction not extended to theliving as well as the dead? The Journal istoo sagacious not to see that there is a ne- -cesity upon it for a rectification of its position."

    OHIO CERTAINLY DEMOCRATIC.The Democrats of Ohio are sanguine of an

    overwhelming victory in October next. It isall very well to make fun of Mr. Hayes fortaking care of his Ohio friends. He is pledgedto one terra, say the people, and he certainlycan't be filling the offices with his placemen.In 1881, Ohio will have to send to the UnitedStates senate a successor to Mr. Thurman.On the fourth of March, 1881, Hayes leavesthe White House. It isn't so wonderful, afterall, th.it Mr. Hayes is putting his Ohio friendsinto office. Make a note of this. The Re-publicans of Ohio are much perplexed as towhether the Slate convention, wSten it meetsto nominate candidates for State officers, willindorse Mr. Hayes's policy or not. It wouldbe a signal discourtesy for the convention notto indorse; and yet, there are a great manyRepublicans who declare it cannot af-ford to indorse that to do so wouldlose them the State. The Ohio Re-publicans are in the condition of the buf--taio bull that died because it could nevermake up its mind whether to join a drove itsaw going for salt or another drove going forgrass. He wanted ta go with the largercrowd, and never could quite make up hismind which drove was the most numerous."He" died between salt and grass." Whilethe Radicals are thus divided, the Democratsare united in a determination to elect a ticketcomposed of Democrats who were contendingfor the principles to which Hayes has becomea convert, and which he opposed until madetriumphant by the election of Tilden.

    THE ClIAWE IX LOl'lsIAXA.Hon. Randall Gibson speaks cheerfully of

    the improved condition of affairs in Louisi-ana. The State bonds have advanced sincePackard was overthrown from sixty to eighty-fou- r,

    and he thinks the bonds will be at par isthree weeks. Real estate has advanced twenty-f-ive cents. A better feeling prevails amongthe people, and many of them have set torepairing their houses. General Gibson saysthat Louisiana is going to be the most pros-perous community in the south. The sameinformation is given as to the improved con-dition of South Carolina, and the redemptionof Arkansas and Mississippi has been fol-lowed by the same results. These facts af-ford a terrible commentary on the scandalousRadical administrations underwhich the southhas so long groaned. And the party that hasso long ruled and ruined the southasks southern Democrats to aban-don their organization and desert theirold friends, aud to become absorbed intothe Hayes whig of the Republican party. TheDemocrats of Alabama, Arkansas, Virginia,Mississippi freed themselves from Radicalismin defiance of the opposition of Hayes, andthey will be true to themselves and the partyto which they are indebted for their free-dom.

    AMERICAN- - JIAM IACTIHEK.One of the most interesting problems now

    existing in this country is that as to its abil-ity to manufacture cotton goods at prices thatwill enable us to compete successfully ' with

    THE MEMPHIS DAILY APPEAL-FRIDA- Y. MAY IS, 1877.England. Recent efforts in that directionhave given great encouragement, and if congress would modify some existing legal ob-structions the chances of success would bemuch increased. One good thing has beengained, as a basis that cannot but very greatly aid enterprise in this direction Americancottons are valued abroad as being much superior to British goods. With quality in ourfavor, we shall likely be able to solve theproblem victoriously. A writer in the NewYork Bulletin of Monday said: "Foreignmarkets are taking increasing quantities ofdrills, ducks and coarse and medium sheetings; and in a moderate way, not yet of anygreat effect, our blanched cottons are movingabroad." Ibis trade is, of course, in its infancy, but let a good foothold once be got,and it will soon grow to giant proportion. Ifthere ever was encouragement to start a cot-ton manufactory in Memphis, it u now, whencapital is abundant and cheap and the stimulus of an opeuing foreign trade adding vastlyto the grounds which insure succtss.

    VIRUISIA.The southern States always respect the po-

    tential voice of Virginia. The Republicansand the office-seekin- g recruits from the Dem-ocratic party who favor the party in powerexpect to overcome the forty-fou- r thousandmajority cast against Hayes in November.The St. I)uis Republican is of the opinionthat any sensible person ought to see, though,that is the hight of folly to expect any suchdefection. There is one living, vital issuethat win always hold Democrats together, solong as the Republican party exists, and thatis opposition to Republicanism. A sinnercannot be transformed into a saint by one actof tardy justice, and there is just as muchcorruption and dishonesty inside the Repub-lican party as at any time during its eightjears rule under Grant. Hayes is not theRepublican party by any means. When theRepublican party goes out of existence alto-gether there may be demoralization and defection in the Democratic ranks, but so longas it remains to le fought Democrats willstand together to do the fighting.

    Correspondence of the Courier-Journa- l,14th : i our corresDoneent has not the slightest disposition to make a political raid intothe affairs of Louisiana, but a little more thanmere curiosity prompted me, in companywith Itev. Mr. Baeley, ot lrenton, Kentucky,to pay our personal respects to his reigrningexcellency, Governor Aicholls. liis othce isin the old St. Louis hotel, now used as aStatehouse. Hard by the closed door of thegovernor's office sat a heavy-se- t colored individual, who seemed to be doing the honors otadmission. As he politely invited us in, assuring us that the governor would be in in atew mmutes, it was easy to detect in his man-ner some gratification that gentlemen fromKentucky had called to see the eoverner. Unentering the office we were shown a solid,sensible-lookin- sr crentlemen. who. upon mutual introduction, we lound to be n-

    or 1'enn. ot the M i,nery trovern- -ment. A free conversation ensued. Governorrenn, during his remarks, spoke of Packardas one ot the best men ot his party, as a manot ability, in regard to

    THE FRAUDULENT ELECTION OF HAYES,he was emphatic; but, as the parties hadagreed to leave the question to the arbitrament ot the commission, and as that commission had decided infavorof Hayes, he thoughtHayes could not be censured tor accepting thedecision. About this time governor iNichollsentered the room, and was formally introduced to us by Governor Penn. His greetingwas cordial. Uovernor IMcholls is. we shouldjudge, about torty years ot age, some hve feeteight inches high, weight about one hundredand sixty, dark hair, rather ruddy complexion, noss not large but slightly roman, darK-erav eves, small brown mustache, with acalm and determined expression of features.He has but one arm and one leg, the latter,however, so well mated by a cork leg as tomake the deformity unnoticeable. The conversation turned upon

    TIT E POLITICAL SITUATION.

    We asked him Questions as to the meaningot the .ioint parade ot both parties in thankstnvine on the tenth: ot the loundation ot allthe bulldozing stories; ot the financial condition r ot the relative tendency ot the partiesin Louisiana, and of the eff ects of Mr. Hayes'ssouthern policy. 11 is replies to all these questions were calm, clear, without equivocation.showing that he was a man of positions, firmand determined. He said the joint parade ofthe soldiery was designed to show that thebitterness ot party teeling was yielding to anera of better things. His discussion of thebulldozinars in some ot the Louisiana parisheswas apparently sincere and truthful. He saidthere was nothing in it beyond the ordinaryelectioneering schemes, such as might and dooccur in the other states; that no doubt bothparties engaged in the ordinary electioneeringschemes; that the

    ELIZA PINK8TON

    and many killing stories had nothing to dowith politics. He went into details as to thecauses of many of the disturbances; statingthat the cotton was often left upon the plantsfor months, and hands hired to pick it.Often it was stolen in small quantities andsold for whisky to the little stores that wereestablished for the nefarious practice by un-principled men of both parties. No lawcould reach these petty thefts.. The goodcitizens of all parties felt outraged, and in

    e, independent of politics, formedvigilant committees. These committees, inbreaking up drunken rows and destroyingthe establishments carrying on this nefariousbusiness, laid the foundation for the bulldozing stories.

    THE FINANCIAL CONDITIONof the State was hopeful. During the pasttwo months the fctate bonds had advancedfrom fifty to eighty-eig- ht cents, and woulddoubtless be at par soon. As to parties, hebelieved the State to be Democratic. Itwould depend on circumstances as to theeffect of the President's policy on parties,but thus far it had inaugurated

    AN ERA OF GOOD FEELINGS,and that the whites of both parties, save afew of the immediate carpetbag followers,were heartily in support of Hayes's southernpolicy, and that changes were constantlyoccurring among the colored people. Hethought the effect of Democratic rule in Lou-isiana would remove prejudices from theminds of the colored men, and make thembetter citizens and more Democratic. Heanticipates no further difficulty in Louisiana,but looks hopefully forward to

    A CAI1EER OF PROSPERITY.He says that common politics attract butlittle attention here now, after the excitingBcenes since the war. Gratified with ourvisit, we left Governor Nicholls, after re-peated and cordial solicitations to remainlonger, with renewed faith in the future ofour whole southern people, whose grand his-tory has not all been written. The Nichollsand the Hamptons are ftill alive; and a sub-lime spectacle occurred on May 10th, when,the first time since the war, the two soldieries,but a little while ago in hostile array againsteach other, marched the streets of New Or-leans and stepped time to &ie same music.

    ALL LOUISIANA REJOICES,and the grand people of the Crescent Citywear the smile of blooming hope. Beforequitting the Statehouse we witnessed an un-usual assemblage of colored, or rather, forthe most part, half-colore- d, men, anxiouslywaiting for something to turn up. Upon in-quiry we found that it was the last of thePackard police, awaiting the payment of theirwages, which had been ordered. In the ab-sence of any harmful feeling to anypolibcalparty, this hasty sketch is given, in the hopethat the example of Louisiana and SouthCarolina may awaken a new era of good feel-ing throughout our whole country, bindingus indissolubly together on the principles ofeternal justice. j. w. r.

Well, Mr,Hayes went to Philadelphia by invitation toassist in the opening of

The major part ofthe administration household went.

These are trifles, but there is a meaning and a moral. Where does the Presidentstand with the skill, the brains and the powerof his own party arrayed against him on theone hand, and the devoted, earnest and solidDemocracy, fully appreciating the good hedoes, but feeling a higher sense of duty todefend their time-honor- principles, opposedto him on the other?

Fred Douglass is in trouble atrouble he may have courted deliberately,but which will undoubtedly have a differentending from the one sought. After receivingthe proud and lucrative appointment ofmarshal of the District of Columbia, he takesoccasion in a public lecture to slur the office,misrepresent the i resident, and to malignthe people ot the District in a vicious, cowardly way. The lecture was well written andscholarly, and more than likely it was prepared for him by some of the great lights ofthe tSlaine-Morto- n wing ot the party tor apurpose. He has thus set at defiance thosewho put him in the place, as well as thosewho, although opposed to his selection, grace-fully acquiesced, doubtless for the purposeof being removed, becoming a martyr, andstrengthening the Radical element of hisparty. It is too thin. Petitions for his removal are being extensively circulate.!, andare being signed very readily by persons ofall shades ot opinion.

    is at ail End.

    We mav liODe. savs the London Standard.the period of "carpetbag" government in the south the rule ot northern adventurers supported by ignorant negro votesin the teeth of the whole educated and tax-payi-

    body of citizens is at an end. Onlythe most extreme Radicals will regret it. Themen who, taking advantage of the disfranchisement of great bodies of southern whitesand the proscription of every leading south-ern statesman and soldier, took up the tradeof agitators in order to make themselvesrulers of States in which they had no legiti-mate interest, have done nothing to benefitthe negro, much to injure the whites, andmuch more to produce bitterness and distrustbetween the two races. They have madetheir own fortunes at the expense of theirconstituents. They secured the negro vote bypromises they never attempted to fulfill;promises which only the deepest ignorancecould have believed, but which con-tributed for a long time to keepthe negroes idle, discontented and an-gry. They imposed upon a people almostutterly ruined by war, devastation and emancipation, taxes which during the highestprosperity ot the soutn would have been con-sidered intolerable. In their actual conditionthe property-holder- s were utterly unable topay these imposts, and numbers of valuableestates were sold for payment of taxes tromwhose expenditure the fetate derived little orno benefit. At the same timo the intrusivegovernments contracted enormous loans onthe most reckless terms, by which they andtheir northern friends who bad undertook thetransaction alike profited at the expense ofthe, southern tax-paye- r. In one Stat, since.r ii j, a i i- .r- -icoii, me oeut. nas Lieen increased irom nvemillions to forty; in many others obligationsalmost equally enormous and unwarrantablehave been undertaken The money has beenexpended not in repairing the waste of waror enabling the people to reorganize theirrevolutionized system ot industry, but inmaking the fortunes of the adventurers, theirhangers-on- , tneir northern allies and advocates, and those negro leaders whose influ-ence enables them to exact a share of thespoils. In those southern States which haveremained longest under the rule of ihe adventurers, the latter have done more to impoverish the people than did the war itself.The administration of the law has been grossly partial. jNothmg but the strictest enforcement of legitimate contracts and thestern discouragement of all " disorderand bad faith by the public authoritycould have taught slaves emancipatedby a conquering enemy to work steadily andloyally as free men for wages. The northernadventurers, caring nothing for the intei estsof communities to which they were strangers,thought on'y of winning and securing thenegro vote, and encouraged the blacks togather in the towns, to lounge, to pilfer, andto idle in the country- - No planter or farmercould obtain justice against the negroes whokilled his cattle, stole his pigs and fowls,plundered his crops, and too often insultedhis family; still less against laborers who,having received wages in advance, desertedat the critical moment when the cotton or to-bacco fields were liable to utter ruin from aweek's neglect. Wherever the whites weresuccessful, as in Georgia and Virginia, inwresting power from the intruders, thechange from extravagance and anarchy toeconomy and order was immediate and striking, i et trom none ot the btates where thisoccurred were there any such complaints ofmaltreatment ot negroes, or any such uglystories of race collisions, as constantly camefrom those quarters where the '' carpetbag "governments ruled by the vote, and nominallyin the interest, of the blacks.
