The New York limes is using the Southern letters for the purpose ; of disparaging the Southern ."people; . The letters are disappointingj evi dently to that paper. ' It finds v the ignorance dense and because of this, ignorance the South' refuses to break up its "solidity" and drill with the spoilsmen. Wo are 'riot surprised that any. Republican t paper in' the North is ignorant of the South, and that its test of intelligence is to join its party of plunder and revolution. "c.Times shows that it really knows . hut little of the South after all its letters and all its sources of informa tion. It holds' this opinion i of our people. Says this u badly informed paper: j ' ; .' -: "It is doubtful if the mass of the people " have much knowledge of what is going on -in the country f outside of their own hori zon. ; The influences which are depended upon to Sw'aken their minds, widen- their views, and change their feeliugs in relation to national affairs, seem hardly to reach them at alL I They are not addicted to thinking upon the problems that affect the destinies of .the country, much less to giv ing intelligent study to them. They lave a keen appreciation ., for an appropriation that may help to improve their rivers and harbors and, are quite ready to receive any encouragement from the Government that may be turned to, profitable, account, but evidently their politics, are concerned Sal most w holly with their, own local Interests, ; and -so far as it has any national bearing; is dominated by old prejudices and traditions.'' 4 The peLple of the South, We ven- tare to say, are far better : informed as to thWhistoryjof parties andr the growth of ideas of the foundation principles of our peculiar Govern- niont; of the contests between the advocates of centralized, aristocratic government and a. true .democracy, . where the people are the masters; of the precise concessions made by the States when they entered in the com pact, and of the -steady outrages and usurpations perpetrated byi the Re publicans from 1361 to 1882 we venture to say that the - South is far -more accurately-informed as to these , important things than the ordinarily educated men of. New England orof any other less enlightened section in the North. .-- - ' , , It will not do'for. papers J like the Times, in their; superciliousness, to trust too much to tbe ignorance of the Southern people.' They may not be as well educated as the people of the dominant section, but they love liberty more. They may- not read. the Times' andllribunes &n& JTatio?is in order to learn error about the . po litical history of our country, or -what -constitutes sound and honest states manship; but they at least know that .Republicanism is . a. synonym - for . outrage, fpr usurpation, ' for corrup tion, for deception, f or deraagoguery, 'fori hvpocricy and ' all ' manner' of - meanness. They- have experiences that teach them more than books and unfair and disingenuous- newspapers can teach..: They, have i memories in which are treasured up the. tremen .dous crimes andvoutragesi committed by the RepubB-can party; since 1865 . against the rights andliberties of the people. ; " .. ', ' - " ' "l -- " I They-2tf consider . "the j problems ; that aff(ect,.-the.,destinies.of 'their country,'" and - it -is just because of this that they, solidify in their, antag jonism against-, genuine -of- spurious Radicalism whether it; comes in vthe form and lineaments" of r Grantj Ar f thur, Cameron, ; Logan, . ; Edmunds, Taft and the old Grant set! or in the questionable shapd'af ' Mahone, Johnston Speer, and .

XIII. nave some appropriations and harbors, and this is for rivers H. altogether natural in view of the fact that the rich North i has had twenty dollars for such purposes where the South has bad one. . , The Times has found out that the Southern people did not 'greet the new l're8ident with much conn- dence." The South acte'd very fairly towards Arthur, Almost without exception the entire press of the South said - that Arthur should have a fair showing and be tested by his acts. ? If not greeted with cordiality be- was regarded, with interest, and wHh a willingness to accord ; him a candid ami respectful "hearing." f The 'North did not , "greet the new. Presi dent with much confidence," and no . -... -I-.. . -. paper knows tins better than the Tim ea. ; How could th e North repose "much confidence" in a New York politician, of not the highest type at that, and who had been turned out of a very, important and influential ofiice by the, last Republican Administra tion because of the abuses underbim and in 'which he participated. , The South, like . two-thirds of the Northern - Republicans, has .-..been sadly disappointed. Mr. Arthur does not improve on acquaintance. He has succeeded by appointing notori ously bad men to office in alienating a large proportion" of his own party, whilst solidifying ; afresh the intelli gent people of the whole South. The Times has made . another! dis- co very, it says: . "One thins: is auite clear. - The method of winning support by endeavoring to make the patronage of the Government a con structive force in politics is not successful in promoting national feeling and overcom ing local or sectional prejudices. It rather drives people back to lueir old lines ana strengthens the distrust which needed to be overcome. - Machine politics and agencies of party organization cannot be made a means of developing sentiment or setting regenerative influences at work. Well said. - This is about ! the only just and sensible ; statement made in a long editorial. The white people of the South cannot be bought or bamboozled. Put that in your pipe, Mr. Times and puff away. Here is . , . i . m . i. A i A a i ftDsolutey false 5.statement and J shows how utterly ignorant the great Times is after all. Hear this oracle of Radicalism and centralization: 'But it is apparent that the political South is hardly more in sympathy with the Democrats of the Worth than with the lte publicans." ; " - How a such stupid blunder could be cherished . -. i we cannot understand. Surely, it) can originate only in entire ignorance of . the great dividing, antagonizing principles of the two parties. - There is no more concord, natural t or: , cultivated,, between a Northern Republican of intelligence and a Southern Democrat of intelli gence than there is between sin and holiness. ' They antagonize at every point. Their ideas of government' are wholly unlike. " They stand out in' opposition lust as Jefferson and A. A V . . . Calhoun - opposed the strong go vernment theories of: Hamilton, and those who have adopted his r danger ous views, The Southern Democrats are neither; blind. nor : fools. They know that their only friends in the North are i such ; men as Seymour, Tilden.- Hancock.' Cox. Hewitt, Doo- . . ...

Mr. Merrick asked the Court to caution the jury against having intercourse with any parties relative to these cases. He also desired them to abstain from reading news papers, and he criticised: severely attacks by local newspapers upon the prose cution. Undue influence, he said, had been brought to bear by these parties which he would make tne ground for future action. Judge Wylie said that perhaps he would consider it his duty to bring these news paper attacks to the attention of the grand jury. , i Mr. rotten said that the defendants might claim the same privilege, if anybody had been vilified.
