DAILY ENQUIRER-SUN: WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 2, 1874. JliriUi 3£nc|nim\ | If the facie ani conclusion* givea in the communication from the neighbor* ho'Hl of Witooebee Valley, which we pub JOHN H. MARTIN, . • - Mltar COM'MHI'N. AAA. I WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 2, 1874 It ia rather at range that the raimt of Saturday and Sunday nighta, that no greatly awaited the Chattahoochee at tbie place, did not cauae the leaat riae in the Alabama at Montgomery. Gbr. Butler haa put an end to all anx- lety about hia course in Maaaachuaetta for this year, by declaring himsolf a candidate for re-election to Congreaa. It ia aaid to be aimoat oertein that he will hare opjn>. aition from hia own party for thia posi tion. Tnx Montgomery Adrrrtisrr aaya, in reference to the diatribution of that bacon stolen from the overflowed cofferers*. “The lateat ediot ia that only a limited amount will be iaaued, and all that to the leaders, until the week before the electiou. The negroee had better go to work, and wait patiently until that time." Ws learn from the Texaa papers that Mr. Charles Morgan baa already perfected arrangements for digging lhip channels through Bolivar bar, Hedflah bar and Mor- gaa’s Poiut, and widening Buffalo bayou so as to make it practicable for seagoing vessels to penetrate as far as the city lira ita of Houston. Thk attention of ahippera of gooda to this point ia called to the advertisement of the Central Railroad. The article copied from a New York paper and pub 1iahed in our Kun lay iaaue was an injus tice to that corporation, aa all know. There ia no reason for tho Central Hoad to ignore Columbus, and an error ao gross we wish to correct to the fullest extent. Tho only change in our announcement of yesterday ia in rates from Baltimore to thia point. Heo advertisement. Mrs. Bans Moiuun, wife of E. J. Mor gan (whose death in Tennessee was lately reported to uh by a letter signed Jas Corbitt) haa exhibited to ua a letter from Morgan to her, to ahow that the letter re* oeivod by ua, signed Corbitt, waa really written by Morgnn himself. The hand* writing ia the same, or remarkably aimi lar. Mra. Morgan indignantly repels the words “or woman,” contained in the let ter, aa an imputation upou her married relations. Thoao words were interlined in the letter when received by ua. Rhe thinks that the ohjeot of the letter ia to atop proceedinga for a divorce threatened by her. Thk Montgomery Advertiser gives a portion of tho teatimony of Holicitor Locke, of Kufatila, in the caae of aeveral citizens of that place now under examina tion at Montgomery. Mr. I^ocke is a Had- ical officer, and has had the best opportn* ties for observing tho official conduct of Judgo Keils and seeing into the motives which govern him. The Advertiser ro- ports him as saying in hia testimony, “that Keils would manifest partiality in the trial of causes, and would side with a negro or ltadioal against a white man or Democrat. Ho further said that Keils of. ten did things in his judicial capacity from which ho, as Solicitor, dissented, es pecially in tho matter of taking bonds from prisoners. He also said that Keils insisted on putting men on the Radical ticket for office in Barbour county against whom indictments for crime were pend ing. A dispatch of tho 28th ult., from Washington, represents Attorney-General Williams as aoyiug, “it ia a significant fact that in all the disturbances and con flicts between tho two races, the negroes are the ones who Always suffer, a fact which satisfies him that they are not the aggrossors." How does the Attorney*! tenoral recou- oile thia conclusion with tho fact that by far the greater portion of tha late politi. cal disturbances at tho South—by far tha larger number and more atrocious acts of violence—have been committed in exclu sive Radical meetings, in which the Dem ocratic whites took no part ? There has been more rioting and bloodshed in the late Radical tttate Convention of Louisi* ana, the Congressional Convention of the same party at Selina, Alabama, the South Carolina negro riots at Georgetown, and tho disgraceful Ku-Klux affair at the Union Springs Radical Congressional Convention, than in all the so-called “conflicts of races” in the entire South during the ssuio period. Who were the “•88 reRHon » * n these exclusive Radical meetings and rows—thero being no Dem ocratic participants '* Can the reasoning aud intelligent men of the country be gulled by the hollow pretence that the parly which cannot conduct even its owu exclusive meetings and conventions with out fighting aud rowdyism is the party of peace at the South, aud always the party assailed uliou difficulties occur between them aud the Democrats ? I’oiigrennlounl Xoiutuatlwna. 'the following are the nominations so far made by the two political parties in Georgia *. First District—J. E. Dryaut, Radical. Second District—W. E. Smith, Demo crat; R. II. Whiteley, Radical. Third District—Jack Brow n, Radical. Fifth District-— M. A. Candler, Demo crat; J. C. Freeman, Radical. [Mr. Freeman has withdrawn.] Sixth District—James H. Blount, Dem ©crat. Ninth District—Garnett McMillan, Democrat. lifch to-day, be correct, they ought to ad- unni nit 'be two races at the South of the itnproprie’y and danger of haaty action upon exciting reports. The oondition of •ociety at the South at thia time ia auch aa may be termed ticklish. There ia no doubt that there are designing politicians extremely deairons of getting up such a I state of affairs here aa would lead to Fed eral intervention by military power. The recent events nt Enfanla, Ala., and the hundreds of letter* from various parts of the South which, we are told, the Attor ney General of the United States ia daily receiving, all unmistakably disclose thia purpose. It ia the interest of a certain class of politicians to bring about thia state of affairs, and past experience teaches ua that with them the peace of society and the liberties of the people are aa nothing compared to the ogive* which they crave. It ia at thia tima a fact too appa rent for concealment that thia party will he badly beaten uoleaa the South ia again sub jected to military role. The time has passed when they could demand the help of the bayonet and get it on the simple demand. That practice proved to be too heavy a “load" for their allies at the North, and it bad to be discontinued lint they still hope that they can get up a condition of affairs at the South that will justify the kind of interference which they desire, and this is just what they are working for—working upon an igno. rant, excitable and prejudiced race, whom they have heretofore pushed into many troubles, and then left their dupes to take the consequences. One great trouble with these office seeking mischief-makers now ia their lots of control over the unbroken negro vote. They have so shamelessly swindled and deceived the negroes, that many colored voters will no longer support their white candidates. The trick of overcoming the large negro majority in their party by giving a dozen Republicans in white counties as large a representation in conventions aa a hundred black voters in negro counties, is pro duoing much dissatisfaction; and the grasping by the white Radi cals at all the piping county office*, while they are willing to allow the negroes the empty honor of seats in the legislature— os a mere “tub to the whale”—has split the party in quite a number of tho strong negro counties—we believe in all of them in the adjacent section* of Alabama. Something must be done to restore tutor. 11ination among the negroes, as well aa to disgust aud discourage the whites; and they look to military intervention as the only thing likely to accomplish both these ends. As a matter of polity, then, aa well aa justice, the great body of the white people of the Houth ought to avoid entering the trap that is set for them. We believe that one of the best modes of frustrating tho designs of the raiachief-makera is for the whites and blacks, who desire peace and non-intervention, to come to a totter un derstanding with each other. We believe that this can bo brought about by confer ences conducted by prudent men. Let such conferences, at all events, be sought bo fore hasty action upon any exciting re|H>rts. It may be that thia ia the quick est and surest way to unmask the disturb ers of the peace of the Booth; but, wheth er it avails to break the allianoe between these men and the great body of the ne groes or not, it will at least be the per formance of a duty whioh the stronger and more intelligent claae owe to a com munity atill embarrassed by serious polit ical and social difficultiee. THE “BfMAGEB” AGAIN We asked the question before, for we are very ignorant of the matter, but why ia it that the negro, or the “nigger," ae he is elegantly styled, should take upon himself all the fiendish qualities just be fore elections ? One of two things ia certain: the negro ia an inoaruate fiend, restrained only by fear, or some white tuen are deliberately lying about him like thievee. Now we do not think the negro is any better, or any worse, in morals than white men of equal intelligence, and wo think that in industry and the love of hia superiors he ia a very large fraction above any race we can call to mind at this time, and we apeak with a pretty good knowledge of tho world. Aa wo re marked once before, the South would be a howling wilderness without the negro. While uumorica ly smaller in the South ern States than the whites, he does more than his portion of the work, and wherever he has been well treated ho has made a good, reliable servant, and this ia the evidence of the beat Southern men. Prejudice, however, ia working against the poor black man, and it seems to us astounding that this prejudice should have auch a strong hold iu the hearts of the ex maatera. Even the boys, white boys, nine out of ten of whom are as ignorant as the negroes, and less in dustrious, talk iu our hearing every day about the number of negroes they can kill in the event of a war of raoee. Men of the South, by your oouree you are ouraiug your own land, and by your prej udice you are uot only antagonizing the negro, but you are keeping away tabor aud oapital. Perhaps it ia not polioy to talk plain, but it ie alwaya polioy to be right and we do not care about the loss of subscribers, or the gaining of them when justice ia to be considered. It is simply disgusting to hear a whiskey- soaked creature, who never earned an honest dollar, howling in hia brutish way about the morals of the negro, yet you and 1 hear it every day, and we can glance about us and see the evidence in the ahadee of negroes that speaks of the whita man's degradation. Thia is simple truth. Why, to marry a negro woman would be an unpardonable tin on the part of a white man, yet there are white men in this town who should have married black women rather than oarry on the lives of them gentlemen. How many white meu are killed in the “so-called" negro ri ots ? We have heard of none so far, but we do know that negroes are killed, murdered, by the pistoled bravos who claim to be the oonservaiots of Southern pc tee. WaciMM'fcee Valley ia heard of through the Union to-day; yet the story of the riot there was as mean a lie as ever a frightened white man concocted. Did you ever hear of negroes taking a white man out of jail and hanging him ? Yet a few days since, in Tennessee, a band of armed ruffians took silteen negroes out and killed them—murdered thorn. And yet in oar churches we invoke God’s Ides sing on oar land. Gentlemen, we are doing wrong, and this Mouth will become a shriveled, paralyzed limb of the Union, if we do not change. The negro is igno rant ; he will lie and steal, and the former ia a terrible crime where veracity is a peculiarity of the whites. Negro women are immoral, you say; but who has tried to elevate them. The carpet-bagger haa made the poor black man a tool, but, had the Houthern whites acted prudently, they might have made his vote a valuable so* quisition. A few years ago it would be criminal to ask that the colored race bo educated, yet the future of thia country, depends largely on their intelligence, and they should be working with the Month- era whites instead of against them. Ig norant and confiding, it ia not to be won dered at that they attached themselves to Radical adventurers, when they were ig nored by their ex-master*. The negro is surely working against his own interests now, bat be is honest in his belief, and it behooves us, with all patience, to put him on the right trsok and to ahow him that the interests of the men who own the land ia the same as the interests of those who work it. The ignorant cry of “a war of races" is frightening inen away from the South, and capital never squints in this direction, nor will it come till we show that labor and capital here are in harmony. Every vicious rumor of insur rection ia a blow at the Mouth, and yet every loud-montbed fellow who spreads the rumor boasts about hi sbeing the friend of the Mouth, when, in truth, he is its meanest foe. Were we less the friends of the Mouth we might encourage the lies that are now daily circulating about the negro, but we know that to spread them is to court the evil we pretend to dread, and more, it frighteus away peaceable men, whose aid would be of more service than the mere county success of either ticket. We have written fully to Northern journals about the so-called war of races, and have de nounced the rumor as a lie—a trick of mean Democrats and lying Republicans. C. ('•■•kalla, Uaiilaaa. Allusion is made in our telegraphio dis patches to the arrival in Texas of three turbulent men, who had been driven from Coushatta, La., and of their treatment by the Texans. The New Orleans pApers of Sunday bring us accounts of the troubles at Coushatta, and thus we get the begin ning of the story. A dispatch from Shreveport, 2iHb, reported that 800 armed negroes were near Coushatta, advancing the place ; that the whites had in the town 200 men, calling for help; that re inforcements for both parties were gath ering from the surrounding oountry; and that a conflict could not l>e delayed later than that night. No meution ia made of the origin of the disturbances. A later dispatch of the same day aaid that the trouble was over; that the white people have effected the arrest of the following ringleaders, and hold them in jail uuder a strong guard : F. M. Eger- ton, sheriff; H. T. Freehell, tax collector; Clark Holland, register ; R. A. Dewees, tax collector of DeSoto parish; Gilbert Cane, depnty sheriff ; W. F. Howell, at torney, and six leading negroes. These arrests left the negroes without leaders, and their company was immediately dis banded. Two negroes and one white man were killed, and one white man seriously wounded. Consbatta is iu the Red River region, not far from Colfax, aud is about forty miles from a telegraph station. The blaoks of that region outnumber the whites about three to one. The Texas sequel remains to be veri fied, aud we have yet to learn of the dis position wade of the other prisoners. B. W. MBORING. Our waders will remember that about six weeks ago, Mr. E. W. Mooring shot and killed bis brother-in-law, Mr. Nichols, at Marianna, Fla. Were we atunied that this apparent crime was the result of malioe, we should follow the course wc have heretofore pursued, and denounce the act, while we shouted for justice. We wet Mr. Mooring Wat winter, and he im pressed ua at the time as a gentleman of culture, and of more than or dinar)* poetic taste. He waa the last man we would accuae of being a desperado : for there was nothing of the rough or swaggering braggart in his manner. The news of his crime astoundei us, and we sought in vain for a pretext to excuse him. Until recently we have entertained the idea that the killing of Nicholls was the result of deliberate malice, for we could not otherwise account for the act. Recently we have been written to by a gentleman of undoubted veracity who knew Moor ing, and he has solved the inexplica ble problem by giving us evidence most conclusive of the insanity of Mooring, and thia misfortune has tainted his family and comes to him as an inheritance. We deeply regret the death of young Nichols, but we question if Mooring, if be has regained hia senses, does not lament it more than any man that lives. A short time before the kill ing, Mr. Mooring furnished to our journal an original poem, showing the most ex quisite taste, and believing be is not an Eugene Aram, we are forced to the con clusion that insanity waa the cause of his terrible act, and that justice should con- aider it through the eyes of mercy and pity.

Bapler ssssd Mts Farty. We find in the Montgomery State Jour nal a communication signed “Republi can," addressed to the “Republican* of the Second Congressional District of Ala bama,” which advises them uot to anp- port Rapier, but to bring out a new Kadi ical candidate. The writer opposes IU pier on the ground that, having made a pledge at Union Springs, he now repudi ataa it. He contends that inaamuoh aa Rapier's nomination wan secured by his giving tbe pledge, and as Rapier now de clares his purpose to disregard it, the nomination is no more binding on the party tb*n the pledge is on ltapier. This seems to be a logical way of putting it, but the morality of the propositions is not as clear as their logic. Tho truth is that both Rapier and the Busteed paity were disgraced by the coveuant, and the honest peoplo of the District ought to condemn all concerned in it. Tbe conduct of the Busteed party was the grossest outrage on the political rights of citizens yet commit ted in the Mouth; And Rapier's plea that he had to sign tbe pledge to prevent bloodshed is utterly untenable, because he could have stopped all conflict by with, drawing from tbe contest for such a nom ination, and thus have preserved his in tegrity and personal rights, as well those of hia supporters. As the case now stands, he is a compromiser of right and independence for the selflsh purpose of getting a party nomination and perhaps an office. The Held Haatm Cheeked. Cbxoaoo, August 28.—Gen.
