W sHINgron, D. C., Sept. 22, 1879. Who has been responsible for the revival of the, bloody shirt business in politics, will be a question for every person to decide for himself. ‘Bot that it has been revived is not a question at all, and its revival is most vigorous where it was most deprecated only a short time ago. Late events in the . South, the Yazoo affair, the trial in _Kem- er Oo. and other like incidehits, have been seized upon WY the radical republicans with

great avidity, and worked up industriously

in order to solidify the North against the South. Capt. J.‘M. .Halls, a Mississipyi carpet-bagger, who wrote an account of the Chisholm massacre, has furnished a large numberof his books to Republicans here for campaign,circulation, at very low rates, The Republican Cons gressional Committee has also’ published a pamphlet on the “Great Usurpation,” so-called, trying to prove that. we: are, ruled by ‘‘an oli- garchy,;” and that.a.majomty of Con- gress are elected by a minority of the people. This is a glowing and sensational array oi figures, intende od to alarm the timid and arouse the nortifern prejudice. At the same tuve Mrg. Chisholm «has been prevailed upon to publish her experience in the'south, andevery other agency is used to bring the blood dy shirt issue into prom- inence. “This sudden and prominent revival £ the Southerr question in ‘its most radical form at-the same time with General Grant’s return islooked) upon by many as having deep significance. If it don't mean Grant as a candid: ate, it means the Grant policy, which is also! Blain’s W indham’s, Conk- ling’s and ‘herman’s policy. In fact all along the line the Conservative Republicans seem to have been 1 snufled cut, and the rivalry is as to whi = ene of the leading candidates shall excel‘in stalwartness. There can be ne doubt that the bloody shirt is to be the leading feature in.the grand cam- paign soon to begin, and tovend in Nov, 1880. As I said in the beginning there isa difference of opinionas to whoi is responsible for its revival, but none as to the fact. Every party ch narges the other with forcing it upon tae countr y; but both parties seem prepared to enter the strife upon that line with vigor. Mr. R. T. Merrick is Mr. Tilden’s right hand ’man in Washington, He says that Mr. T. is'stronger than ever in New York and the country; and it is all nonsense that Kelly or any, corrupt ring can crush him or damage him. There are are many Demo- crats, however, who take a diflerent view, —perhaps because they desire to hurt Mr. Tilden, and to drive him off ‘the Presiden- tial course... They say that Kelly wil] kill off his great rival, and that Robinson will be defeated because he is ‘*Tilden’s man Friday ;” and of course this makes the Republicans chuckle, aud is very injudicious talk for Democrats to make ; put they say they can stand defeat in New York this year Detter than they can stand Tilden in
