' While we are presenting the testi mony of Miss Willard we will, refer to another witness. We have' called attention already many times to the change that seems to have' come over the correspondents of certain North ern papers, ' notably the mendacious and disreputable New York Tribune,- a paper a Southern man should des pise, and- for reason..--We have quoted from what Mr. Pike has said from time to time in that paper! , He is an exception . toj.all of ,its corres pondents who have written concern ing the South. . We pointed out that inasmuch as there was no election on hand just how' that, even 'the false and lying Tribune was willing 'to tell the truth, even about: our people. There is no heed of slanders just now. The outrage-mills stand dtill for the present. But to the point in hand. Mr. Pike has given the fol lowing j account ot a villain who ac knowledged ; that . he had manufac tured a lie out pf the whole cloth. Mr.'Pike saya:' . . ; . .t ' " - ! : "In Mississippi 1 . was told by a number of Northern people of an account sent' to the Northern press during the 'Hayes cam paign,' which located an atrocious political outrage at the place which 1 was then visit ing. These persona seemed reputable, and tbey all affirmed that nothing of the kind had ever occurred there. I inquired re garding the author of the dispatch, and learning that he was still living a few miles way, I went to aee him. He laughed when I told him my errand, took a fresh chew or tobacco, and crossing his feet on the top of the table before him, began talking of the affair in an easy,' fluent,- indifferent style, which seemed to indicate that'he was glad to have somebody to talk wilbr and would as lief . talk of that. subject as any other. Tben the dispatch was not really truer" I said. 'Well,' he replied, it was true as to the spirit of the Bonth. generally at . that time.' 'But why did you say that such and such things happened at a particular place if they did not?' 'Well, now, you know it would hot be of any account to say; at such a lime, mat mere was lots o' devilien reel ing in the South. . But it rather wakes peo ple up to tell them that something's been done at a place they've heard of.' . 'But )t was not true.'." .. t,.j,,Jr;:Xj:;,-.'

It' proclaimed its innoceacyv bat t the Northern people pointed o the vari ous statementa made with all minpte ness of detail in nearly all of the Re publican papers of that great section.

That is the same spirit which has animated the Chicago Inter-Ocean and kindred oat rage organs. .

All the reform was in clamor. . Only that and noth ing more. A voice and nothing more. The Washington correspondent! of the New York Sn writes as follows: "'No administration since the government had an existence has so openly or grossly violated its professions ip this regard as the present. It made itself directly notorious for doing, in a particularly conspicuous manner, precisely what Ml was solemnly pledged not to do. In this way it set an ex ample that cannot fail to bear fruit.'
