That "bloody Shirt" Drama

The New York Times has seut a special correspondent to Louisiana, and the letters it has received from hiin are a conolusive answer to the " raw head and bloody bones " theory upon which the organs have been trying to conduct the campaign. Cominenting on one of these letters the Times says : The planters and other white citizens were informed that our correspondent came from the New York Times, which has long been described in the Scuth as a " black Eepublican sheet," and he was. not shot, or ridden on a rail, or tarred and feathered. On the contrary, he testified that " every one of the white men seemed to regard his appearance as a harbinger of better times," doubtless booause they hoped he would teil the truth about them, and not go into the outragemanufacturing business at their expense. To get at the truth is, indeed, the sole object of our correspondente journey - the " bloody shirt "' drama must be left to the hired organs and the rnysterious authors of the " reign of terror " dispatches dated from Washington.
