FREE SPEECH IN TIIE SOUTH
The recent tour of Senator Wilson marks
a new era in Southern civilization, an era of
free speech. lie has been closely followed
by Judge Kelly, who, though not faring as
well as his predecessor, nevei thele— goes as
■kterimnedfy forward in the work he has
bid out for himself! Such men may lie
■"-•lb •! fomenters ofdiscord, disturbers of the
peace, and reviled in a thousand ways by the
Copperhead press of the country, but the
work to which they have addressed them
selves is a necessary one, the introduction
into the South of freedom of speech and
discussion. Wilson and Kelly, as pioneers
in this work, deserve great credit for the
manner in which they have thus far acquit
ted themselves. It is at no small risk, as
evinced in Judge Kelly's case, that they go
before promiscuous assemblies, of men who
have been lately in rebellion, and advocate
the cause against which they fought, ami
this in a section of country where for .rears
past, but one side of the political questions
of the day has been allowed a hearing. But
a free country cannot exist without free
speech, and the rebellion will not be effect
ually crushed, nor will it be prudent to
withdraw the military forces from the South
ern States, until every citizen can speak his
political sentiments in public, whenever he
may choose, without fear of molestation.
That imprudent speecheswill be made, is to
lie expected, but no one is obliged to listen
to them; the remedy, in a free country, is
to go away out of hearing, but not to under
take to prevent anyone by force from a free
expression of political opinions. This, it is
true, may be a new experience for the chiv
alry, but it is a necessary one, and until they
learn the lesson thoroughly, they need not
expect to be allowed to undertake to govern
themselves. It may be contrary to the views
and wishes of the late rebels South anil
their allies North, but the day when North
ern newspapers and political speakers can
be shut out has passed away. The print
ing press and the ballot-box have an impor
tant mission to perform in eradicating the
vicious habits of Southern society, contract
ed through the corrupting influence of
slavery, and it will be performed despite the
convulsive efforts of conquered rebels to re
sist it. The newspaper will be placed up
on every threshold, and the ballot in the
hands of every freeman; they to whom free
dom has been given, will also be given the
power to protect and preserve that freedom.
I'or the slave pen and auction block must
be substituted the school house and the
church. Henceforth the negro goes forth
to his labor to the cheerful sound of free
dom s songs, and not to the clanking of
chains and the snap of the slave driver's
whip. Intelligence must henceforth take
the place of brtlte force. The inducement
of a liberal remuneration must henceforth
bo the incentive to labor, and not the whip
ping post and stocks. When these things
are accomplished the South will become
rich and prosperous, and they who strive to
retard the work only put farther off the day
of their own prosperity. In this work Wil
son and Keiiy arc the pioneers, but they
will be followed by as many more as the ne
cessities of the case may require. It i 3 the
most important part of the work ofrecon
construction and will not be given over
until fully accomplished. The enlightened
sentiment of the country declares that
'eternal vigilance is the price of Liberty,"
and free speech and a free press are the un
sleeping sentinels upon her watch-towers.
THE .SECRET of Copperhead fault-finding
witli the speeches of such men as Wilson
and Kclley in the Southern States, is thus
let out by the Georgia Chronicle: ' 'The
white population arc already divided in po
litical sentiment, and there is danger that
the Radicals will carry the State." The
Mobile Advertise> tells the same tale in the
following: "Every solitary vote will be tic-
ecssary to prevent Akbama from being as
completely radicalized as Congress or Mas
sachusetts. It is the probability, that, the
stumping of the whole South by a class ot
uien of whom Wilson and Kelly are only
the forerunners, will convert the people
from Copperheadism to Republicanism
that troubles them. Here is whore the
shoe pinches, and this is the true cause of
their anxiety in bcl.alf of the South.
9®- Wc have been seriously considering
"A Proposition" in the last Gazette, and
have made some inquiry of the faithful fol
lowers of that reliable journal, with a view
to ascertain whether they would sanction
such an arrangement, but wc have had the
uniform reply: "If suchja 'bargain' is made,
the editor of that paper will want to be the
nominee, and we have had quite enough of
him. lie would refuse to trade off Coroner
for Congress unless he were to be the candi
date." We see the "snake" in that "Pro
position." However, the gentleman made
a very fair estimate of his "true worth," and
under the circumstances the exchange would
be very advantageous to the tax payers of
Bedford county, but God help the J<egi-1-
ture! It would be fun for us but death to
the frogs.
I ffisU The jubilation of the Gazette over
the release of Jeff. Davis is only an out
i burst of the old passion. The rebels both
North and South are in ecstaeies. Two
years ago they would have concealed their
emotions, and swore until they were hoarse
that they were good Union men. Murder
I will out.
fraT The Gazette has become so accus
tomed to charging all the political ills of the
country upon the Republican Party, that
it ha- the hardihood to try to make its ig
norant readers believe the Republicans are
responsible for the deficit discovered in the
Poor House account. When had the Re
publicans the control of this county?
Our friend across the corner is "go
ing" for Horace Greeley most lovingly.
How strange it is that a few rubs against a
traitor is a perfect Lethe; all the former de
precatory acts of the man arc wiped out,
au l he becomes as completely the centro of
attraction the lode star. Yea, he becomes
the "true magnetic pole" to which all such
"hearts point" "like trembling needles."
8-aT A few of the old Cops have been
terribly put out at the course of the Gazette
in endeavoring to palm off the errors in the
Poor House account upon the Republican
Party. They have heretofore gulped down
everything that veracious sheet has uttered,
but they cannot swallow the idea that the
Republicans have had control of the records
for the last dozen of years. That's a little
too tough!
■©, It i* astonishing what entire harmo
ny of sentiment there ia between the Gazette
and INQL IRRB in regard to the Poor House
deficit. We asserted that the Treasurer
was not responsible, the Gazette was indig
nant that any one should suppose that he
was; we asserted that the Poor Directors
hail nothing to do with it, whereupon the
Gazette swore most roundly that they had
not; we intimated that the responsibility
rested with SOMEBODY, the Gazette blandly
winks over its nose, and says somebody.
We niggest the County Auditors, it frowns
a little, makes a few wry faces, and says—
NOTHING ! Silence gives consent. Arn't
we getting along swimmingly?
TROUBLK WITH THE PRESIDENT. —The
Copperheads are just now having a trouble
some time with the President. He has had
invitations to visit a number of places to be
present at the dedication or corner-stone
laying of monuments. His keepers,
having in remembrance the Presiden
tial "swinging round" of last summer,
and its consequences, are taxing their inge
nuity to the utmost to prevent a repetition
of last HUH mer's folly. Andy has served
them many good purposes, but his travel
ling performances have not generally accru
ed to their advantage. We advise them, by
all moans, to keep him closely caged unless
securclv muzzled.
Tite EDITORS of the Bedford IKQVIRER
will also have enough to do if they keep their
own door way clean. Little speculations i n
bounties, substitutes, Ac., have been known
to help some Abolition newspaper establish
ments amazingly. Let such tellows skin their
own ikunks. — Gazette.
What a model fish-woman the editor of
the Gazette would make! We immagine
wc sec her portly dimensions swaggering
through the stalls a perfect "periphery" or
"rhomboid." Phew! couldn't she read the
pedigree of any O'Connell who chanced in
her way. The above quotation is a speci
men brick. The last line is a very chaste
and refined one. However, this dirty busi
ness must be done too seme times. AH the
amusement we indulge in of this kind, is con
fined to the skinning of the editor afore
said.
THE South Carolina people are disgusted
with General Sickles for forbidding them to
convert their corn into whisky, and compell
ing the firemen to salute the Stars and
Stripes. He might at least permit them to
make the yellow corn into one of the "neces
saries of life." A considerable quantity of
this has been sent down by the Relief Socie
ties, to the people who arc starving, and as
they are unable to eat it they might be al
lowed to drink it. General Sickles has noti
fied relief committees to send white corn, as
Southern people will not eat the yellow va
riety. Comparatively little white corn is
raised North, and when we contribute to
the necessities of the poor we must give such
as we have. If they cannot take it in a solid
form, why not let them make it fluid? — Pitts
burgh Commercial.
THF. Pittsburgh Commercial says:—Some
one criticising the choir in Beecher's church
says that during prayer and the reading of
the scriptures, "they clatter, giggle, sidle
up to each other with a familiarity out of
place in the parlor, and doubly so in the
house of God. Sometimes one or two seem
to get into a temporary 'pet' with the organ
ist, and sit off looking daggers. Then the
process of reconciliation, with its billing and
cooing and glancing, and final restoration to
good humor, furnish sufficient visible flirta
tion to piece out a chapter of Miss Brad
don's Donsensc." That is by no means the
only choir who enact such scenes for their
own amusement, or that of the congregations
for whom they,
"Praise God from whom all blcisings flow."
ORDER IN MOBILE.
General I'ope has shown his understan
ding of the circumstances attending the late
riot in Mobile, by deposing the ex-Rebel
General Withers, who held the office of
Mayor. This action proves that General
Pope having investigated the circumstances
attending the disturbances, believes that
they were premeditated, and that the Mayor
took no care to preserve peace. Ex-Mayor
Withers says he "submits to the argument
of the bayonet, "and vacates the office."
This is clever. Having tried the argument
of the bayonet himself during the Rebellion,
he appreciates the piercing nature of its
logic, and can understand how frequently it
triumphs. His removal, he thinks, is an
imputation against him, which will be
agreed to by most persons; but we suppose
that he will wait for his vindication from
time which may or may not come to his res
cue. Mobile, it is to be hoped, will be here
after under better government, and General
Swaync will take tare to see that the laws
arc faithfadly executed, and the rights ot
American'c/tizens maintained. — PhibuleTn
Statistics of Crime.
The National Intelligencer, in discussing
some statistics of crime published recently
in the New York Tribune , remarks with
what we must regard as a fine confusion of
ideas that "it is obvious enough what open
ed the floodgates that have caused the wide
spread demoralization and criminal acts in
the land," and that ''the prime necessity is
therefore especially obvious of a return to a
reign of order through the absolute rule of
judicial tribunals under legislation based
upon fundamental rights and constitutional
authority." Now, we hardly need say, we
shall welcome for many reason- the complete
restoration of the "absolute rule of judicial
tribunals" upon the basis described by the
Intelligencer, throughout the United States.
But it seems to us a pertinent inquiry
whether the condition of things which has
existed for the last four or five years has in
reality "opened the floodgates" and caused
"wide spread demoralization and crimina]
acts."
Most of the statements on this subject, we
apprehend, are simply guess work; perhaps
we should not he far wrong in setting down
as such that made by the Intelligencer.
But it happens that so far as regards our
own State there are carefully prepared sta
tistics which may be safely presumed to bo
trustworthy. In the last annual report of
the secretary of the Board of State Charities
the secretary discusses thecomplaint that
crime is on the increase, and expresses a de.
cided belief that "this increase is much less
than is commonly supposed." His statistics
show that the reported whole number in
prison in 1858 was 1G,5U2, in the county
prisons alone; while in 1880 the actual num
ber in all the prisons was less than 12,500.
Moreover the number of females committed
in 1888 was 2828 against 5051 in 1885; and
the number of children under fifteen years
of age committed was reduced from 404 in
1865 to 545 in 1888: that is to say, compar
ing the last two yeirs, crime among women
has diminished ten per cent., ar.d among
children twenty-five percent."
We arrive, then, at these results from
the secretary's figures; that not only ha*
there been a gratifying improvement oblate
in some important particulars, but that the
figures for the past year, when compared
with those of a year of average crime before
the war. are actually twenty five per cent,
better. And the inference, if any, to he
drawn as to the effect of the war upon Mas
saehusetts is that it has been favorable to the
cause of good morals.
It is certain that a fear was quite com
tuonly felt and openly expressed by thought
ful persons during the war, that one of its
disastrous after effects would bo a great in
crease of crime in the country. Such ap
prehension was natural enough per ps;
but it is now clear that too little confidence
was placed in the general law abiding charac
ter of Americans, and that the favorable
effect of the stringent discipline of military
service upon many turbulent spirits was not
sufficiently taken into consideration. The
figures just presented are of course conclu
sive only as to the condition of the State
from whose records they were made up; but
it is quite probable that analogous results
would be arrived at by equally accurate
methods in other parts of the North. We
cannot see, then, that there are any reasons
for alarm as to the bad effect of the war
upon the morality of the country. Massa
chusetts has to show directly to the contrary;
and we shall wait for much stronger evidence
than any yet presented before admitting
that her condition is exceptional.— Boston

Greeley's Manifesto.
The talk of the hour is Mr. Greeley's ex
cited pronunciamento to the New York
Union league. This |>ajer might have
been dignified, the question at the bottom
of it being a great one, and Mr. Greeley
evidently believing that he occupies a very
high moral stand, in fact asserting that he
is on a plane above this age and generation.
Why, standing so far above us all, he should
lose his temper, and indulge in intemperate
invectives, we are at a loss to understand.
Why lie should head his vituperative docu
ment in such a remarkable and grotesque
styie, like a bombastic show man, _ we do not
know, unless it is a shrewd advertising dojlgc.
Certainly it is a violation of good taste and
propriety. Mr. Greeley, bciDg a professed
reformer and progressive, should know that
his cxpletory Culmination, in tone, temper,
style, and language, is behind the age.
Angels do not get angry, and swear.
The fact is, to tell the mundane truth,
that the philosopher has lost his temper be
came he has lost his subscribers. 'Thou
sands" of his readers have "yelled "stop
my paper." This is his own classic relation
of his troubles, and, as we stated three days
ago, we know it to be the fact, only if Penn
sylvania is an average example of the States,
he should say tens of thousands.
Mr. Greeley does not seem to know
exactly what is the matter. The truth is
he has not brought down on himself the
storm of popular indignation and contempt
and condemnation by baiting Jefferson Davis
but by the offensive manner in which he did
it, violftiing all the proprieties of patriotism
and dignity The cOwntry are grieved o>d
pained that he should assist fuisoinely and
with flunkey pride in a pageant to a traitor
—for trial or no trial, bail or no bail. Jeffer
son Davis is now known, and forever will be
known to to this people only as a guilty, for
sworn traitor. He can never explain away
his broken oath as a senator of the United
States; he can never wash awav the blood of
Gettysburg or Antietam; he can never cover
the horrors of Andersonville and Libby. It
was hard for the people of this land to know
that there was to be DO official condemna
tion of the murderer of their bravest chil
dren, hut it was revolting and sickening to
see a man like Mr. Greeley shake hands
with the murderer, and smile and smirk
around him. That is where the trouble is.
Our platform is simple. We urge equal
and exact justice for all. We want equal
and exact justice for Davis too. If it hangs
him we cannot help it, nor is it our busi
ness. — l 'h iladelphia Press
