The Savannah Tribune, 1876-07-29

Every State in Democratic hands is orderly and peaceful; taxes are lower; the rights of all classes are fully protect protected; - ed; protected; the blacks are treated better than they are in Republican States. 11l S ales under Republican control, taxes are enormously high;riots are provoked by Republican mischief-makers; the public treasuries are plundered, and mountains of debt heavily oppress impoverished industries. To overthrow the dangerous element at the South, it is only necessary to place the control in the hands of the intelligent classes. In fact, it is only Republican States that are weakly gov governed. - erned. governed. It is only Republican Govern Governors - ors Governors who are unable to preserve order. It is false. In Georgia the rights of all classes are not protected. The State Treasury was plundered and mountains of debt oppresses us, and indus industries - tries industries are yet paralyzed; taxes are so high that the payment of them are resisted by real estate owners. Lamar, of Mississippi, in the course of debate in the House yesterday was very bitter in his denunciation of the white men engaged in the recent Ham Hamburg - burg Hamburg riot. Ot course, there can be no excuse made for the deliberate murder ot prisoners in cold blood, but the elo eloquent - quent eloquent gentleman should have known what has only lately come to light, that the negroes who caused the trouble by their defiant attitude were not organized militiamen, and had no shadow ot right to the arms with which they threatened the safety of the white citizens of Ham Hamburg. - burg. Hamburg. It was their refusal to surrender these arms that brought about the trou troubles. - Savannah - bles. - Savannah troubles. - Savannah News. Even the News, the organ of Bourbon Democracy, says that there can ba no excuse for the deliberate murder of prisoners in cold blood; but it tries to palliate the crime by saying the negroes were not organized militiamen and had no shadow ot right to bear arms. Has the News forgotten sosoon since reading the Constituting (lor we imagine it has from the way it has been driving late lately) - ly) lately) that it gives all its citizens the right to bear arms, and that the negroes now are citizens,and until led to these rights? And this paper further claim it was the refusal to surrender these arms that brought about these troubles. What right had Gen. Butler or any other white man to make the demand; none at all;and the negroes done right to retuse, though some of them lost their lives at the hands of the Georgia K<i Klux. A pa paper - per paper like the News should make no apo apology - logy apology for these murderers, tor the ven vengeance - geance vengeance ot a just God will sooner or later overtake them.

General News and Comment*. * In speaking of the Hamburg affair the Richmond Dispatch says: It will be bard work for the Demo Democrats - crats Democrats of the North to elect Tilden unless such difficulties cease entirely. The South is to-day the most peace peaceful - ful peaceful section, and its ungracious task up upon - on upon the part of our own journals to at attempt - tempt attempt to show that she is the most ter terbulent. - bulent. terbulent. Let the Dispatch go to work in its own forcible way for Tilden and leave the Puritan presses to manufacture their own campaign thunder. - Augusta Con Constitutionalist. - stitutionalist. Constitutionalist. The Constitutionalist advises the Dis Dispatch - patch Dispatch to go to work in its owu forcible way for Tilden. Just like the chivalry of Augusta did the other day at Ham Hamburg. - burg. Hamburg. We suppose this advice is bad. The negroes will not at all times submit to this wholesale murdering. Forbear Forbearance - ance Forbearance might cease to be a virtue. Halt. Brick Pomeroy wants one more week before he can decide about the St. Louis nominee. Stop your nonsense. Brick, and fall into line. - Darien Gazette. Brick is sensible, he is uot^so easily whipped into line to the support of those two old frauds (Tilden and Hendricks) as some Democratic editors that we know of. - * The Government should not be de detarred - tarred detarred from discharging its duty towards the two hundred thousand voters of the South by any clamor about bayonets and armed interference. - Tallahasse [Fla.] Sentinel [Rep ] It is necessary, as far as Georgia is concerned,we know, and it should be dune, thereby saving the lives of hun hundreds - dreds hundreds of Republicans this November. The New York Sun of the 12th inst., in alluding to the Hamburg massacre, says that it has no more political signif significance - icance significance than the stoning and drowning ol the Thielhorn brothers in the Passiac river in Newark on Thursday, when they were trying to escape after having as - sassinated several men. But the Hayes newspapers will make the most of it,and parade it as an incontestible proof that the rebellious whites ot the South are desirous of exterminating the negroes because they are Republicans; while the fact is that in regard to crimes against life and property in the constructed States, the negroes are the transgressors in nine cases out of ten. The renegade knows that he falsifies himself when he says that the negroes

are transgressors in nine cases out o ten, and he should not justify those murderers in the hellish work. We cm name a hundred individuals of the highest character in the Demo Democratic - cratic Democratic party who have no expectation whatever that Tilden can carry New York or will be elected to the Presidency. - Syracuse Journal [Rep.] Yes, and we can name several leading Democrats in this city who is of the same opinion. As was expected, the Hamburg riot is a God send to the bloody shifters. It is just the thing they have been praying for. It is hard that the South has to bear the odium of such lawless fools as participated in the riot. a We trust that every man engaged in the affair may be hung. - Rome Courier. Col. Sawyer calls the chivalry lawless fools, and demands that they should be hung. Good advice. How has the proud name of Butler fallen? From a leader in the United States Senate, from a leader of th# 1 glo glorious - rious glorious Palmetto Regiment at Chepuite Chepuitepec, - pec, Chepuitepec, to a leader of a negro riot at Ham Hamburg, - burg, Hamburg, in which wounded prisoners are mercilessly shot. Gen. Butler, like Old Spoou-tbief Ben,has disgraced bis name. Let him go out and hang himself. - Rome Courier. A brave General to be engaged in such a disgraceful riot. How has the mighty fallen. The next General Assembly of the State will be a very important body. Grave responsibilities will rest upon us members. The great i«suei which have been agitated during the la-t two years will be fought over again. Wtih such questions yet to be decided it is an im important - portant important necessity to have our bes' men in the Legislature. Second rate material will not answer our purpose. - Conyers Courier. Second class white men to the rear; the autocrats will assume control of the Democratic party, with the negroes in intimidated - timidated intimidated they have no further use for the poor white men, it will not answer their purpose. It is as we have often said, that that party had no use for the poor man, white or black, but to use him; and the poor white men ot Geor Georgia - gia Georgia will find it out when it might be too late to remedy the evil.
