PROSCRIPTION THAT WORKS BADLY, INDIANAPOLIS, 8cpt. 27.—The Journal pub- lishes aletter from New Orleans, in which the condltion and brutal treatment of German mer- chunts in tho interlor of the State is graphically sct forth. It says that In nearlyall the pariahes the little country storca are conducted by Ger- mans, who nre well-behiaved snd thrifty. This conditlon {s exasperating to the young growth of aristocrats and the offspring of what used to be known as ** her white trash.” Scparate or comblned, these classes detest peaceful and thrifty fndustries. It secms, according to this correspondent, that the prosperity of these Germun storckeepers, as well as thelr dealings with _the negroes In w legitimate way, caused the wiiite chivalry to form what arc called “Regulators,” who have served notice on the storekeepers to cease trading with the col- ored peaple, under penalty of huving their Eoudu and stores burned, When com\)lluucc hos ccu rufuscd the threst bas been fultilled, In fact, the merchants have been persecuted so bit- terly that the German Government bas advised cmigrants to avold Louistuna, and its repre- sentatlves in New Orleans have {nstituted In- qulries which have substantiated the many charges made aguinet the white Democracy. As o rosult, the (Germans fn New Orleans” haye formed themselves into Republican Clubs in nearly evcv' ward o the city, with an alllance with ‘the Workingmen's Union for offense and defense, and this in opposition to their polltical course, which has been heretofore Deniocratie, This has caused much consternation in the ranks of the Dema but, presumably, the changes, though radleal, will not be llkely to be weakeued or prevent A “SOLID SOUTH.” HOW DEMOCEATIO MAJORITIES ARD MADA. Cincinnatl (Gazette, 87, Josern, La., Sopt. 19.—The States of Misslssipp! and Loulslana, Iamsorry to say, will both go Democeratic. The Republicans huve given up this 8tate. The colored people, who are all Republicans, have been compelled to hold Democratic meetings and declare them- aclves for the Democratic party, They had to dothis orleave thelr homes. Some of them own thelr own property, one horse and acow, and are compelled to turn out and say they are for the party they hate and fear in order to save thetr lives. Colored Republicans who have been run away from home for four months to kecp from belng killed for makivg Republicon speeches, have now been permitted to return if they will make Domocratic specches.

A few days ago, tho colored peorle.who work in large numbers on plantations In this purish, were notified by their employers to stop work ond come to town, and hear” what the colored Democrats had to say.

Dispaich te Clereland Herald, Wasminoron, Sept. 45.—Senator Patterson, of Bouth Carolina, has recetved letters from a person coming from near the scence of the recent dlsturbance in Bouth Caralina, who i8 vouched for aa being perfectly rellable. These represent that the ratiroad trains passing throngh the sec- tlon of country where the alleged riot took place hava been stopped and negroes forcibly taken from tho cars and shot. Capt, A, P, Butler,a brother of Gen. Butler, of Hamburg massacre notorlety, was I command of a campany of White Linera which stopped tralns and bratally murdered the negroes. “Up to this time" says one letter duted Sept. 21, “there I8 no deflnite Informnation of the death of asingle white _person, although the Sherlff of Alken County reports three killed, or rather says three are reported killed, There has been no encotnter at ull so fur as we have been able to learn, but mather a wholesale murder of colored men wherever they could be fonnd, in the cottun fields at work or traveling along the highway. ‘Riiey were deliberately shot down in cold blond, brutally mangled after they were dead, and foft to 1i¢ In the hat sun with no one to remove or inter them, There hos been no hostile guthering of the blacks, unless you call amecting of from aix to ten of jthem ~hostile gatherings; nor have v.lm{ flred upon any one, except, perhaps, in sclf-defenne.’ 1 belicve at leust 100 negroes have been killed since Bunda; morning last, in the two counties mentloned, and I do not helleve a single white man has been hurmed," TERROR TN 80UTH CAROLINA, Nem York Temes, Winnson, BARNWELL CounTy, 8.

When the request was made the white men rode off a few paces, wheeled, and fired finto the unarmed and fnof- fensive blacks, Belng alarmed st such an un- expeeted attack, a few of the nc,;fm asrembled for sclf-protectfon, In the meaptime the band of outlaws who had fired into them ran through the country spreading a report that the negroes bad risen fu fusurrection.

PEERY, OF BOUTIL CANOLINA. New York Times. Ex-Gov. B.F.

Thue Democratic party was then extolled, and the assertion mady that every great measure which bas redounded to the honor and glory of the Republic and the enlargement of lts terrl- tory bus origluated with the' Democratle party, und opposed by the Ropublican party. A clear understanding of this may he derlved when it w considered in connection with u previous declu- ratfon of the speaker, which was (njthese words: “The country, both State and Federnl, is di- vided into two great partics—the Democratic aud Republican parties.

Reed.” w“Well,” replled Mr. 8wett, “I think Mr. Reed is the most eficient prosccutor I ever knew. Ho understands crimical pleadings so thoroughly that there is no Indictment _thut he cannot write readily without a precedent, and there is nothing which the dutles of his ofice requirc of him that he does not understand with the most sbsolute thoroughness. What the Criminal Court needs most {s o prompt, quick man, and Charley Reed will send more men to the Penltentiary to the hourin a period of five years than any other man In America.” “ Do you think it Would be advisable to make a changel® > “The press of work Is so great over there, and the consequences of letting it get behln are so serlous, that I think very few men who are inexperienced could dlscharge well the dus ties of tfic office, and hardly any man but Reed could keep up with the busfness, Ido not pre tlee fn that Court, except occasionally; but my cases have caused ma L0 go there once in o whife for the Inst ten years, and I _have observed how the work s done. 1 think his office is the best manaped prosecuting oflice I bave scen in twonty-five years, and to my mind it would bea publie misfortune to make a change." The reporter found MBR. GEOROE CAMPBELL in his office, and saluted him with the query: Do you think Mr. Recd ought to be renoml- nated?" “1 do," was the answer. #For what reason?” + Because ho hias been a good officer, and will do much better than an inexperienced man.
