Ompt. John HendrixAs I wrote you
two hours sinot, I fear there will be
bloodshed, as our men from the country
are exasperated, and are getting to a fever
heat with the Robinson-Knox crowd. If
Rapier cau make any terms with them it
will be better than for this trouble to
oontinue, for if it does until night I fear
the consequences will be such as we will
all regret. Yours, Ac.,
W. H. Black.
August 24, 1874.
Union Springs, Aug. 22, 1874.
Dear John . —See Rapier and see if he
oan't make some compromise with these
fellows from Montgomery, for I tell you
there will be bloodshed here. The senti-
meats of both Republicans and Demo
crats arc snob as to bring about blood
shed. If he can make any terms with
the Robinaonites it will be for the good
of the ltepublicaus of this town. They
are mad, and I fear there will be some
disturbance. We of course are for him
all the time. Yours, do.,
Algee Mabson.
The following note has been addressed
to me by Mr. C. M. Bangh, the acting
postmaster at Union Springs:
Union Springs, Aug. 26, 1874.
Hon. J. 1\ Jlapitr, Montgomery, Ala.:
Dear Sir—Upon information aud be
lief, I am satisfied that the terms you
made with the Knox party here on last
Saturday, 22d instant, was the best thing
you could have done for the Republican
party—and for all parties interested—and
probably prevented bloodshed and a riot.
Hoping you will meet with the success
yon merit at the hands of the Republicans
of this district,
I am yours, very truly,
C. M. Baugh.
It will thus be seen that a serious con
flict was imminent which might, perhaps,
dolnge the court-house and streets of
Union Springs w'ith human blood, and
cast a stigma upon the Republican party
which nothing could afterwards efface.
It w as at this stage of the proceedings—
while I was in the bsok room of the Pro
bate Judge's office conversing with Judge
McDuffie, of Lowndes oounty, upon the
Busteed impeachment case—that Mr. H.
V. Oashin, one of the court-house delega
tion, brought me a paper for my signature
which, he said, would end all confusion.
I had stood all day between augry dis
putants, sometimes even foroing them to
put up their deadly weapons, and now
the danger seemed more iinmineut than
ever, if peace and harmony was not at
once restored.
The Committee on credentials had not
yet reported, and the immense crowd
were breathlessly awaiting their report,
which would be the signal, it was feared,
for the commencement of the difficulty,
which appeared to be imminent.
Hence, thongh I had refused the same
terms of compromise at different times
during the day, I gave my signature to
the paper.
Besides restoring peace and harmony
in the convention, I felt that I owed it to
the people of Union Springs to do all
that was in my power to save them from
a disturbance, which would, probably,
endanger the lives and property of the
citizens. I bad often spoken in that
tow n, and the greatest oourtesy had al
ways been shown me by the citizens, and
I could not allow myself to be the means
of involving them in riot and bloodshed.
While my action in this matter served
to prevent difficulty in the Convention,
yet I regret to say that the pledge thus
obtained from me has plaoed me in a po
sition of antagonism to a large number of
the citizens of this District; and while I
believe it was my duty to use any and all
means, as a last resort, to preserve the
public peace, I do not feel that the public
can or will hold that a pledge, obtained
under suoh circumstances, is binding upon
me, when I can prove, beyond the shadow
of a doubt, that the Convention was
largely in my favor, and that there was no
need of my making a bargain to secure
my nomination, for every delegate to that
Convention had been instructed to vote
for me.
As an evidence of my faith in this state
ment, I unhesitatingly say, that if the
same delegates who were dulv elected
could be assembled again, I would submit
the case to them, and abide the result of
their decision.
As I before stated, I studiously avoided
taking any part in the local affairs of this
county, before and up to the holding of
the Convention at Union Springs. This
shall be my position in the future, if both
sides will agree to it.
Knowing how embarrassing it is for a
man to go into a canvass with pledges
hanging over him, I am compelled by a
sense of duty to ask that I be relieved
from the obligations of the pledge made
at Union Springs, under the circumstances
I have described, except so much as is
consistent with my former course, name
ly: to take no side in county matters in
this or any other county in the District;
aud I believe that my friends throughout
the county and District will sustain me in
this position.
Now to the pledge itself: I tried to pro
cure a copy, in order to lay it before you,
but up to this time I have failed. There
is nothing in it that I have promised to
do that is criminal. In so far as relates
to Judge Busteed. I may say that Hays, of
Alabama, and many first-class lawyers
North believed that the evidenoe adduced
last wiuter before the committee was not
sufficient to warrant the House in sustain
ing the articles of impeachment, and, af
ter reading the testimony very carefully, I
arrived at the same conclusion, aud I said
so at different times in Washington and
Montgomery ; and inasmuch as there has
been no additional evidence siuce that
time, then wbat excuse could I give for
ohanging my mind, that an intelligent
country would respect ?
And as to my saying that the Buckley
ticket is the regular one, it is only what
you and others are saying every day, not
withstanding the action of tho State
Convention, and at best could only be
the opinion of one humble member of
the party, and entitled to no more con
sideration, aud I never intended thereby
to influence the action of a single voter.
But this is what annoys ine, that under
embarrassng circumstances I was forced,
in the interest of peace and order, to
forsake the line of policy adopted by me,
and place myself apparently on the fide
of one of the two existing factions in
this couuty, which can but be detrimen
tal to my political interest, because I
have strong friends on both sides.
Now, sir, I have made a fall and fair
statement of this case to my friends.
Nothing have I concealed, and I believe
they will sustain me.
Knowing that I am the choice of nine
teen out of every twenty Republicans in
this district as their standard bearer in
this political contest, I will, as soon as I
return from Washington, proceed to make
a vigorous canvass in the interest of the
Congressional and State tioketa.
Truly your friend, Ao.,
James T. Ranis.

pliant,” in its general application to any
cumbersome and costly undertaking by a
government, a party or an aspiring poli
tician. For example, the late “peculiar
institution” of the South was the white
elephAUt of the Democratic party; and as
an object of veneration, it was somewhat
profitable withal, until the pampered pa
chyderm turned upon its keepers and
trampled them in the dust. The Repub-
lican party then came to the front, and,
after slaying the Democratic white ele
phant, as St. George slew the dragon, in
a right royal way oa the field of battle,
set up in his place its black elephant, or,
as Mr. George T. Downing defines him,
“the Americau citizen of Afrioau descent,”
or as the disgusted old line Democrat de
scribes him, “the almighty nigger." And
from 1860 to this day, in following his
banner with its strange devices, the Re
publican party has bad the victorious ca
reer of a grand combination menagerie
and circus on a summer campaign.
Beginning with its revolutionary victo
ry in 1860, under the bold declarations of
“no further extensions of slavery” and
the “abolition of those twin relics of bar
barism, slavery and polygamy," the Re
publican party, in the repeal of the Fugi
tive Slave law*, in the abolition of Rluvery
in the Dirtrict of Columbia, in the eman
cipation proclamation, in the war against
slavely aud in the thirteenth, fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments of the consti
tution, has marched from victory to vic
tory. But with the legacy from Charles
Sumner to the Republican party of his
Civil Rights bill, its blaok elephant, we
fear, is overloaded. Logically this Civil
Rights bill may be necessary to complete
the work, to cap the pyramid of civil and
political equality as between whites aud
blacks under onr new constitution ; but
practically the bill promises nothing but
mischief for Southern whites aud blacks
and to the Republican party and its car
pet-baggers.
General Grant expressed the opinion
some time ago that the Republican party
was carrying such a heavy load of mon
strosities that the time had cornu for
throwing some of them overboard. And
he set the party some good examples in
lightening the ship and casting overboard
such deadweights as tho would-be Gov
ernor Davis, of Texas, aud the would-be
Governor Brooks, of Arkausas. Aud since
the settlement of the Arks^pas
gubernatorial squabble, the Presi
dent, in declining to be used by the
Southern blacks in their local riots
against the w'hitos aud among themselves
in Arkansas, Mississippi, South Carolina
and other Southern States, has shown
that he, at least, has had enough of armed
intervention in the local concerns of those
States, and that he believes it will be well
to try for a season the constitutional ex
periment of giving to the Southern States
the same general jurisdiction over their
State affairs that is exercised by the
Northern States. We dare say that Gen
eral Grant is opposed to this sweeping
and dangerous Civil Rights bill, now r only
awaiting its passago by the House of Rep
resentatives and its approval by the Pres
ident to become a law, and we dare say
that upon the trst of this bill, if made a
law, the Republican party will be disas
trously defeated in every Southern State
excepting South Carolina aud Mississippi.
As the bill stauds, the general hue and
cry of the Southern whites agaiust it hus
driven even the Republican carpet bag
gers to special pleadings and explana
tions. But the Southern opposition ele
ments say this bill was adopted in a Con
gressional Republican caucus as a party
measure; that as a party measure ho de
creed it was passed by the Senate; that as
a party measure several attempts were
made to rush it through the House, and
that if defeated by Southern Republican
votes, cast against it iu every attempt,
the bill may yet be passed at the next
session of the same Congress, when the
State elections of this year will no longer
be in tho way*
Many Southern white Republicans re
coil with indiguation from the civil rights
proposed to bo enforced nnder this ob
noxious bill, particularly tho right to en
force the mixing of black children with
white children in the public schools on a
footing of equality, aud under tho power
of the Hxecutive and the Judiciary, and
of the army and navy of the United States
if necessary. Evidently in several, if not
in most of the Southern States, the blacks
are estimating at too high a figure the
advantages they are sure to gain under
this Civil Rights bill. They even seetu to
thiuk that in anticipation of this bill they
may do as they please, and that the Gov
ernment is bound to sustain them. We
are gratified, therefore, to perceive that
they, too, are to be taught submission to
their local laws aud authorities, and that
Government bayonets are no longer to bo
used in support of the colored citizens of
the South, whether they are orderly or
riotous, right or wrong. We bnvo had
2 uito enough of tho supremacy of the
ederal bayonet in the local affairs of the
South, and we uro glad that thero is to be
an end of it.
The whites of the South, we are pleased
also to perceive, have some rights which
the Republican party is bound to respect
for fear of the secession of the whites,
which, though few in number compara
tively iu the South, still leaven the whole
party and give it its unity and power
even in South Carolina. In a word, hav
ing trotted their black elephant around
the couutry on n triumphal tour of four
teen years’ duration, and having given
all the rights he could iu reason demaud
under the existing state of things, would
it not be woll for the Republican parly to
stop this superfluous civil rights procas-
iou and try some other gsme ?

government is permitting misoheivous
agitations in the colony, by meetings and

is more sedition taught now thau iu 1865,

terrible disturbances under the instiga

to defeat tha administration and create
trouble.
