EVENING EDITION.
; A L1TEBART PROPAGANDIST.
It is only within a few days that
we have taken time to run over Mr.
Cable's screed in "the Century 3faga
sine, for January. Our readers know
the high estimate we place upon his
genius, and how excellent are his no
s vela in our judgment. But when he
leaves the . domain of creative work
and undertakes to be a teacher in po
litical science and to deal with a very
perplexing and difficult race problem,
he is a tremendous failure. : His arti
cle in the Century, stripped of all el
egant circumlocution add rhetorical
special pleading, is but a plea for ne
gro equality with the whites. We
do not deny to Mr. Cable the right of
opinion. This is a free country, and
if a man chooses to make himself ri
diculous by espousing either a dan
gerous or an unwise theory he must
bear the consequences. We do not

that he would be shocked if told that
he was insisting upon the impossible,
and that if his notions were practi
cally enforced they would degrade
his own race and destroy social life
in the South. j
But Mr. Cable is a mere dreamer.
He writes1 with admirable literary
skill in his essay to bring about so
cial wrong and social ruin, bat his art
r is that of a mere sentimental theo
rizer, and not. that of a wise philoso
pher or a judicious .statesman. What
he insists upon bringing about, and
. with such graceful rhetoric and pa
" thetic gush, is impossible. ' He ought
to know better -than to insist upon
, the pursuing of a course that could
only end in either race conflict or so--v
'cial depravity. He ought to know
- more oflhe tone and temper and in
' born, life-long," ingrain prejudices of
the whites of ther South than he
. knows. , He is a native of the South,
was a onfederati soldier, has lived
all his days in the Southi and he
ought to be too wise, too just, too
: far-seeing, to ask for the doing of
those things which constitute the bur-
- den and agony of his engaging rheto
rical plea. ' But he is blind and can-

"But as I have said over again To my
: . - brethren in tfie South. I take upon me to
say again here, that: there is a . moral and
intellectual intelligence there, which is not'
. going to be touch longer beguiled out of its
moral right of way by questions of nolitical
punctilio, but will seek that plane of uni
versal justice ana equity wmcn it is erery

saying, 'Is the f reedman a free man ?' and
the whole world shall answer Yes.'"
Mr.i Cable was. never so much mis

: and whites in the South will mingle

The white, peopl of th South are I
in 110 sense unfriendly to the negro

and Tare - willing to manifest good j

They have taxd themselves in their
poverty to eancate ana eievaio . .u 1
negroes. 2 They have given tnem em-
iandj liave mnoway at- l
tempted to wrong or. oppress them
That much - is certainly true. But
they will never consent to any legis-

evltably tends to the social
moral degradation of themselves and J

ought'tcr understand this. He may I

and ignorant and yet lettered classes

high minded, ; self-respecting whites I
in the South to accept his false teach- I
ingandto shout pseans m honor of I
hit name as a reformer.
What he is attempting - will
only
mjure the negroes. It will tend to
make the whites less indulgent, less
, , ... . TTL I
sympathetic less - tolerant. When
T.nRv see nniinre ana rare HniiiL v uni- i
tingin an absurd crusade, as wild as
ever entered into the brain of the
good Knight of LaMancha, the end
whereof must be positive injury to
both races, they will be less willing
to make sacrifices for the advance
ment of the negroes and less conside
rate of their enjoyments and social
interests. Hear this absurd theorizer
and literary propagandist:
"There can be no more real justice in
pursuing the freedman's children with bu-
miliaung arbitrary aisuncttons and separa
tions in the school houses than in putting
tnem upon nun in otner places.
. "But some will say this ia not a purely
artificial distinction. We hear much about
race instinct. The most of it, I fear, is
pure twaddle. It may be there is such a
thing. . We do . not know it. It has not
proved.
"The South stands on her honor before
the clean 'equities of the issue. It is no
longer whether constitutional amendments.
but whether the eternal principles of jus
tice, are violated. And the answer must
it shall come from the South. And it
shall be practical."
Our .space is exhausted, and yet
we must make room for a paragraph
or so from an editorial m the Atlanta
Constitution of the 12th inst. It is
an excellent reply but we have room
but for the following:
"We do not hesitate to say that the South
is not reconstructed on Mr. Cable's line;
we go farther and say that if such recon
struction ever takes place, it will be the re
sult of the merits and deserts of the negroes
themselves and not the result of Northern
opinion, or the result of disease ions pre
cipitated by foolish sentimentalists.
"Mr. 'Cable's, article misrepresents the
negroes anq places tne race in a lalse posi.
nion. Among the intelligent and self-re
specting negroes we have never seen the
slightest symptom of a desire to push them
selves forward into places where their
presence would cause embarrassment or
irritation, and the absence of such a desire
is perfectly natural. It is the manifesta
tion of the race instinct or sentiment in its
friendliest aspect, and it is attended with
not the slightest feeling of hamiliation.
NONSENSE AND GUSH.
Senator Edmunds is a very emi
nent, Jawyer, but he can indulge in
very palpable sophism. He argued
that Grant did not leave the army
voluntarily,' but was called to a still
higher place as Commander in-Chief.
That is to say, when he was anxious
to be President, and to become so
surrendered his place in the army, it
was only to be promoted really as a
soldier. He argued farther that to
restore him to his old place was not
putting a "private citizen" in the
army, but was simply reducing' the
highest office to a lower rank. Su
perlative nonsense! Grant in 1868
was willing to become the candidate
of either party. He wasdymgtobe

domestic institutions. We fought for them
and we lost in that controversy, bat no
man shall in my. presenter call Jefferson
Davis a traitor without my responding with
a stern and emphatic denial."
We publish to-day a brief com
munication from an intelligent gen
tleman in one of the thriving towns
of our State. His views are worth
the attention of legislators, it is
very certain that capital will not
come into our State as long as the
registration laws are so defective and
if it ia to be taxed to "; an oppressive
and unreasonable extent.
Senator Vance uttered some manly
and just sentiments in vindication of
himself and in reply to Northern
Senators. Here is a paragraph that
does credit to his head and heart:
"It mav be. sir.' continued Mr. Vance.
that Northern gentlemen, who were on
the victorious side during the citii war.
cannot properly appreciate the feelings and
sentiments of those who were on the side
of misfortune and defeat. They seem to
regard it as quite a sin and a shame that we
don't readily join in the denunciations that
are he&ned noon him who was the leader
in that war, and hasten to condemn him on
all occasions, as the surest way of excusing
Our conduct and commending ourselves
to the good opinion of our late op
ponents. Surely no man or - even tne
slightest sense of honor in his com
position could respect any Southern man
WBOwould thus debase himself Surely the
most flagrant and rampant trafficker in the
issues of sectional hatred would respect
more an adversary who came to him walk
ing upright on his feet than one crawling
prone upon his belly. If not if a different
sentiment is to Drevafl what must we
think of the manhood of the men who
should entertain it? Now. sir. be it known
to you that those of os who pledged our
faith to each other for the estaDitsnment oi
the Confederacv. save op all -for which we
contended when it failed, retaining to our
selves onlT one solitary satisfactory reflec
tion and that is that we had at least served
our country faithfully, honestly and de
votedly, as we understood it. .
