THE “FOOL'S ERRAND,” One William Royal, Ex-Con: fed., Assumes the Critic’s Pointed Pen, And Tackles Tourgee’s Spicy Screed Which Treats of South- ern Ways and Men. In True Chivalric Tone He Speaks, His Language Oft Evin- cing Swagger 3 He Brands the Author-Judge a Sneak, and E’en a Dirty Carpet- Bagger. The Judge’s Book He Ridioules, and Swears Its Mission Is In- famous, And of Its Northern Reader Speaks as of an Arrant Ignoramus. But, Sad to Tell, He Branches Off, and Turns His Talents (0 How Cruel!) To Telling How the Southern Life {s Made More Happy by the Duel. Syectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Ricumonp, Va., Dec. 25.—William L. Royal, late of this city, now of New York, is to issue through E. J. Hale & Son, of New York, a reply to Tourgee’s “Fool's Errand.” Mr. Royal, who is spending his Christmas here, is correcting the proof-sheets of his work. Royal has occupied a prominent place in Virginia’s history since the War. He was a second in the famous fatal Mor- | decai-McCarthy duel in the spring of 1876, and advising friend in the Smith-Elam duel last summer, He is a great nephew of Chief-Justice Marshall, and was in the recent campaign the leader of the Field movement in Virginia and started a dally paper known as the Commonwealth. He went into the War at 16, and was once a prisoner at Fort Deloware. About two ionths since he moved to New York to practice law. Your correspondent has seen the sheets of his book which is in some respects startling. He insists fhat Tourgee isapretender. He ASSAILS TOURGEE AS A CARPET-BAGGER who went to North Carolina to take advan- tage of the palmy days of reconciliation, and charges him witth accepting bribes. Prefacing his book, Royal says: “I look upon the book to which I have | attempted a reply as a willful, delib- erate, and inalicious libel upon s noble and generous people, amongst whom I was born and raised, and in full sympathy with whom I . hope to live and die. I look upon its author as one of the mest contemptible fallows of those who haveilibeled that people, ang, u0t atatlless contdmptible because highly en- doywed with intelligence, but rather more 80,. . because, with ‘all the disposition towards groveling malice which a weaker man could - have, be has yet far greater powers to injure, _ and.he bas deliberately used. these powers to their full extent. I have made no mealy- mouth defense of the people of the South. It is not on bended knee, ant with cringing accent that, self-appointed advocate though Ibe, [have brought their cause before the world. Ihave attempted to speak for arace | of whom the males are men, asI believe . those men would have their race spoken for,” Royal says Tourgee’s picture of Southern life and character is “ PALSE AS HELL ITSELF.” He says the northern and western parts of this Union are blessed with a credulity touching all matters which tend to bring the white people of the Southern States into disgrace and contempt, which as an article of faith would meet all the requirements _ the most enthusiastic professors of Christian religion could ask for. No story, however monstrous, which represents a Southern community in an attitude of violence and defiant turbulence is too gross for Northern | belief. Without taking trogble to inform themselves correctly touching the people ‘of the South, they accept any derogatory story that timid sensationalists or designing scoun- arels may choose to inventas the truth re- garding these people. 5 Royal devotes many pages to the reputa- tion of Tourgee and the assertions of bad treatment of negroes in the South, and asks how could the dominant race, being a race . such as the Southern people aré, look upon the prospect of complete dominion over themselves passing over at a single move to these their former slaves without consider- - ing it one of the most fearful throes and rev- . olutions to which society could fall a victim. Picturing the carpet-bag element, with which Tourgee is placed, Royal says: “The whote Scuth was at once overrun with TUE LARVZ OF THE NORTH. Wherever there dwelt a scoundrel who feared that his neighbor would give him his deserts in the form of.a-couting of tar and feathers, that neighborhood lost a citizen, and the South gained an apostle of recon- struction. Wherever the womb of the North revolted at its burden aud spewed forth some putrid mass of crime, the South recelved a patriot who knew nothing but restoration of the Union and devotion to the poor, down- trodden negro. ‘These vultures and harpies came into every neighborhood.” He says: “If the people of the North and West would only learn. the’ leason which time would not be* long to teach they would abandon the at- tempt to force an intercommunication of the races In the South which the laws of Nature forbid. ‘They would learn that race preju- dice is the most powerful force that operates upon the human mind, and that all the bayo- nets on earth cannot force a race holding the relation to another race that the white people of the South hold to the negroes to live in submission to that less civilized race, Ttisk of death is more endurable to them, and a persistent effort to force the submis- sion must resulé in constant revolution and bloodshed.” To ILLUSTRATE. Speaking of the way in which negroes are treated, Royal tells the ‘following, which happened to himselt: ‘When the Virginia delegation to the Democratic Convention at Cincinnati went out, one gentleman, a dele- gate from the City of Richmond, carriea his servant, a gegro inan, with him. On the way to Cincinnati it became necessary to travel ° all night on the Pennsylvania Railroad, the gentleman mentimied, determining that his ‘ servant should be comfortable, hiring a sleeping berth for him.
