Address Elder 1’cblishixo t)0., Iti YVabash Ave., Chicago, Dl. 13 7m L.1 The question of stopping the fur- tlier coinage of silver has come to be one of the most exciting jiolitical questions before congress. We print to-day tin excellent synopsis of the speech of Senator Joseph E. Brown in favor of silver. It lias received very high commendation in the press of the country'. We print in this issue an interest ing Letter, written by our old friend and correspondent, R. M. Orine, lisq., of Savannah, to the Hartford Times. It embraces valuable statistical infor mation concerning the rapid progress of the South in several important branches of manufacturing and other productive enterprises, and gives we think a fair statement of the state of public sentiment and feeling touching immigration of Northern men of capi tal and enterprise to this section of the Union. No doubt this communica tion and others like it published in Northern journals of good character and circulation, will have an excellent elfect. both in conveying valuable in formation to our Northern fellow citi- izens and in suggesting to them open ings for business enterprises here, which if carried into effect, would be greatly beneficial to the people of both sections of our common country. We are glad to see that lie ealied at tention to the splendid water power so available for large manufacturing purposes which exist in our immediate vicinity. The Silver Coinage Question. Some three weeks since, we made allusion to the interesting question of the coinage of silver, and frankly ac knowledged that it was a subject to which we had paid but little atten tion. In the few remarks we made we alluded to a law which required that all duties on imported goods shall be paid in coin. That law made no distinction between silver or gold coin. That law, has not been enfor ced so far as silver is concerned. It would seem that the law has not been obeyed. Whether a good or bad law, much of the eY'il which has originated has grown out of the refusal of our treasury officials to obey the law. The law put both silver and gold on an absolute equality before the law and the evils now complained of have grown out of the refusal to comply with the requirements of the law.— We can conceive of no good reason for refusing to demand silver and re quire gold alone. Of course this was calculated to depress silver and ad vance the value of gold; especially, when foreign countries such as France, Germany, Austria and others, are closed against our cattle, hogs, and other food products with but little prospect of a change. Of course our great industrial interests suffer by this state of monetary affairs and es pecially as France, England and Ger many use large quantities of silver coin with decided advantage, while ours is cast oi’erboard in the interest of the holders of gold. In England, the Yvorkers for Yvages receive their pay in silver. The same is true in France. Neither of those countries propose to stop the payment in silver, because they know that to do so, their workmen Yvould be more poorly paid. Those European countries keep up the two currencies, gold and silver. In 1884 the Yvorld production of gold was, 195,292,569; of silver, $115,- 147,878; and $99,292,569 of gold Yvas coined, while the coinage of silver was $90,039,443. England, France, and Germany are coining silver eY’ery year and find a use for it all the time. They are not proposing to stop the coinage of silver; and it would be absurd for them to do so Yvhen they find a use for all. A silver dollar may be a little less in Y’alue than it gold dollar, but passes there as it does here, for a hundred cents, and as here, will purchase as much as a gold dollar. In great operations in exchanges, the silver dollar Yvill be less than the gold; in ordinary trans actions, as w*e all see and know, the silver dollar will go as far as the gold dollar. All is needed. All the gold and ail the sih’er, and there is no dan ger of coining too much of either. A coinage noYv, of two hundred mill ions of siK'er dollars for distribution among the people would be hailed with delight at a reasonable per cent. Lost wealth may be replaced by in dustry, lost knowledge by study, lost health by medicine ; but lost time is gone forev'er. Some people Yvaste much Y’aluable time in waiting and hunting for bet ter positions aud more profitable em ployment. To such, we say, work earnestly in the position yon now j hold and thereby Yvin your way to : those that are better. The New York Journal of Com- i rnerce, in a late issue, says: “Members : ! of the Cotton Exchange and others | Yvere greatly shocked yesterday by j news to the effect that Mr. James A. Beall, a member of the exchange | and of the firm of J. & W. A. Beall & ; Co., cotton merchants of long stand- 1 ing and high repute in this city, had committed suicide in Georgia, where he was staying ob a large plantation descended to the members of the firm from their father. The deceased gen tleman was highly esteemed, and no cause, unless it was temporary aber ration of mind, can be conjectured which can ha\'e induced the commis sion of the suicidal act.” A Terrible Calamity.—A fire damp explosion occurred at Aling, j W. T., on the 16th. by which thirteen miners were killed. It occurred at night. If it had been in the day, hun dreds would have been instantaneous ly killed. Some of the bodies of the workman were hurled through the air. A train of thirteen cars going down into the mine were broken into fragments and several passengers Yvere instantaneously terribly mutila ted. One of the bodies Yvas blown 700 feet from the mouth of the slope. Great injury was done to property in the neighborhood. All of the victims were Mormons, save two, and mar ried, leaving large families. "Good morning Mr. Smith, a very pleasant morning it is, too." "It may be pleasant enough for some folks, but I tell you Brown, I can’t | feel pleasant when so many people : are trying to ruin my business. You^ i know Mr. Brown, that I have always been an honest liquor seller. I never ; sold liquor to minors, or t« any one 1 who Yvas Y'ery drunk. I have kept a decent bar. and haY'e given away hundreds of drinks to poor fellows who had no money and looked as if they would die if they did not get it. In such cases I only give a little just to brace them up, but they would manage somehow to get money and come baek and get too much, and then 1 would have to taper them off again.’’ “Weli now, Mr. Smith, I have listen ed patiently to your complaint, I ask you iu return to listen to mine. I, too, am a hard working business man, 1 have a son who Yvas once as bright and promising a lad as the town af forded. I need not tell you that he was the pride of my life, and that he was all the world to his mother. I worked hard to give him opportuni ties, he too was industrious and made small sums of money to spend for himself. 1 was obliged to trust him around town alone, I was confined closely to inv business. “One day when lie was counting his money on the street he was observed by one of your customers, whom you were tapering off, and who felt that if he did not get a good big drink he would die. ‘Why Willie, is this you, why bless my soul, I never saw a boy grow so fast in all my life, such a fine looking lad too, will soon be a man.’ Thus ilattered, my poor boy was fi nally induced to furnish the money and go partners in a flask of whiskey, which, to make it acceptable to his unaccustomed palate, was reduced and sweetened. Pretty soon after this lie was met by one of your Gen tlemen customers, who happened to be a little short of change that 4ay. He too flattered him, calling him a handsome young man, and’ stated that he Yvould not mind taking some thing with him. My poor boy pro tested that lie could not go to a bar, ‘nor I either to a common bar, bat you can’t object to go to Smith’s he keeps a fine bar, a perfect palace, you ought to see it. Just hand me the ehange if you want to treat me. Smith is aw ful particular aud will not sell it to any one under age.’ The next thing I knew my boy had broken the peace, and I had to pay a heavy fine, this was repeated time and again. The result is my dear child is ruined, a hopeless drunkard. My wife’s health has failed from grief, and she is a hopeless invalid. For this reason, aud reasons like this, I am determined to do all I can to break op the salfltof liquor. It is too late for my poor boy, but not for thousands of others. Compare my account with yours and judge for yourself, Yvho is the in jured ; tarty.’’ Hope. Death of Miss Kate Bayard. She was to be present at Miss Cleve land’s reception. Everything was in readiness at the White House. Many callers had arrived and the Marine Band had taken their places in the main Y'estibule, and were awaiting or ders for opening the reception. Miss Bayard's delay was commented on as singular, Mr." Bayard’s private Sec retary, Henry Bryan, arrived, and asked for Col. Lamont. The fact of Miss Bayard’s death was immediately made known to the President, who Yvas greatly shocked at such afflleting intelligence, as were the ladies, at this sudden death of their friend. Orders were given to close the White House ; the hand was dismissed, and the peo ple who had arrived immediately withdrew. The news soon spread and there was universal sorrow and re gret. .She had taxed herself the pre vious night to entertain the guests at her father’s house. She had retired at 1 o'cloek on the night of the recep tion at iter father’s, and reqaested to be left undisturbed the next day, till noon. Between one and two o’clock iter younger sisterattempted to awak en her, and struck by her appearance, called for assistance." Physicians were immediately called in, and used pow erful restoratives, including electrici ty, but all in Y-ain. The physicians expressed the Opinion that she had been dead for several hours, when the attempt Yvas made to awaken her. The immediate cause of her death was disease of tiie heart. She had been treated for that disease by physicians, occasionally, for several years. The interment will take place on Tuesday, ar Wilmington, where Secretary Bay ard's parents are entombed. We make up this brief statement from tlie special to the Augusta Chronicle. There are certain liniments which will deaden pain, but it soon returns. Mt. .Jacobs' oil goes to the roots of the malady, and the sufferer is perma nently" cured. Fifty cents.

Washington Letter. From Our Regular Correspondent Washington, Jan. 18, 1886. The proceedings of the week on Capitol Hill have been Y'aried, inter esting, and fraught with results in the lower branch of Congress. The Sen ate did little else in open session than listen to endless irreleY'ant talk on the Silver question, irreleY'ant, because no financial measure was formally presented to that body until to-day. Six Senators made long set speeches in advocacy of continued coinage, an other crowded in an oration in behalf of National Monuments to Lincoln and Grant, and another expended elo quence on the subject of our army. In its daily secret sessions the Senate has had before it the President’s nom inations, hundreds of which ltai'e been confirmed. No cause of complaint has been found against the nominees them selves in regard to their honesty, fit ness, and efficiency, and the Republi can Senators, in lieu of any such grievance, liai'e been discussing in caucus the question of disciplining the President on the subject of tenure of office. Unable to express themselves freely en this subject in Executive session without exposing tlieir plans to the opposition, the leaders of the Republican majority quietly conveyed the news to their associates that they must agree to a motion adjourning over from last Thursday to Monday, in order that a caucus might be held on an important subject. Of course the Democrats did not know what Yvas brewing, and the proposed motion was carried. In this caucus, the President’s poll ey was the subject of debate, and the more pronounced disciplinarians, such as Logan, Hoar, Conger, and Morrill, advocated reining up the President to compel him to state to tho Senate his reasons for removing one set of officials to make room for others of his own partj'. Some of the more fairminded Senators held that it would be going too far to ask of the President an explanation of his right to select his own friends to fill the offices for which his party had fought so hard, and that he was only doing what a Republican President would do, if one were in the White House. This kind of argument was Y'ery distasteful to the Republican managers, and they proceeded to dis cipline their obstinate brethren in a caustic way that won them over, or at least compelled them to submis sion. While a variety* of opinions Yvere expressed with regard to the propriety of a formal issue Yvith the Administra tion at present upon this question, a majority Yvere disposed to say that should the information sought not be forthcoming ultimately', the Republi cans in the Senate will take some for mal action to secure it, or an aY*o\ral from Mr. Cleveland that he will not give his reasons for making removals. There are many Republicans in the House of Representatives who would like to see all the Republican office holders discharged indiscriminately*. Their reason for this is that their par ty machinery* is being disorganized by the present state of affairs. Many of their party workers received appoint ments to office as rewards for party serY'ice, and as long as they retain their places under the present Admin istration, tlieir hands are tied in a way to make them useless for party work. Among Other bills to abolish the Civil 8er\'ice law that lia\-e been in troduced in the House was one by Representath'e Seney*, of Ohio. No such bill can pass the Senate while the Republicans haY'e control of it. They affect deY’otion to civil service reform and the the so-called spirit of it, and will continue to do so as long as the act can be made useful in keeping Democrats out of office and in bother ing the Democratic party. Then again there are many shrewd Demo crats in both branches of Congress, who Yvould deem it unwise to repeal the Civil Service law and who see good politics in letting it stand as it is, though, of course, the question will be agitated like that of silver ail through the session. The House of Representatives was eommendably industrious in disposing of tiie Presidential Succession bill, which has passed Yvithout change, just as it came from the Senate. Un der its proY'isions the line of succession is taken from Congress and lodged in the Cabinet. Only the President’s signature is lack ing to make it a law, and then Mr. Bayard aud not Mr. Sherman will be Vice President of the United States. A startling Y'isitation of death has just darkened the home of the Secre tary of State, and the genial, graceful, homelike hospitality characteristic of the Bayard Mansion, will be hidden under the shadows of bereaY’ement for the remainder of the season. Miss Catherine Bayard, tiie eldest daught er of the Secretary, died suddenly on Saturday*afternoon of heart disease. PATENTS GRANTED.

Athens Correspondence. Prohibition.—The Old Washing ton Hall.—Reminiscences.— Is Life Worth Living? Athens, Ga.. Jan. 20, 1886. Mr. Editor : 1 congratulate you and the people of old Baldwin coun ty (the county Yvhere so large a part of my earlier life was spent,) upon the flue beginning you have made of a Prohibition Campaign. Especially* does your editorial of the 19th inst., on the Prohibition question, meet with my warmest approval. You have struck just the right key; no denunciation either of liquor sellers or of anti-Prohibitionists. Many of them are honest, honorable men. Let the whole force of the denunciation fall upon liquor itself, pure or impure, and upon the mammoth calamities that flow from its salt). These are ter ribly abundant and do not Heed to be reinforced as arguments, by* denounc ing men in the business or favoring it. You suggest in your editorial the very plan upon which the Prohibition cam paign was conducted so successfully in Clarke county, in the spring of last year. On the other hand, there is reason to believe that anti-Proliibition lias triumphed in a fexv counties in Geor gia, because of tho fierce personal de nunciation indulged in by the ardent friends of Prohibition. A great deal Yvill depend upon the Executive Com mittee that you have appointed, and upon the response to their requests. All the speaking talent, white and col ored, on th« Prohibition side in tiie county, ought to he in readiness to respond to the call of the committee for men to make Prohibition address es all OY*er the county, by* appoint ment of the committee. Our Clarke county experience was, that it iva s best to send by* previous appointment, two or three speakers at. !eaG to every point Yvhere a crowd of Y'oters, white or colored, could be gathered. Do you ask, is Prohibition a success iu Clarke county? Yes, more of a suc cess than is the penal code of Geor gia. Prohibition does not extinguish entirely the drinking of liquor ; nor demsthe penal code entirely extinguish crime, but it greatly lessens the evil. We bid y*ou God speed in the good work in old Baldwin. And so tiie old Washington Hall has vanished in smoke and flame! In the long ago I now and then enjoyed the hospitality of our old and honor able friend, Col Barnett, within its walls. At one time a portion of the Hall was occupied by our aged frienfi, Bro. Darnell, then in feeble health and confined to his bed. He had many friends, very deservedly. Some of them Yvere wealthy and Y’ery kind in calling to see him. He said to one of them one day, I believe that I, in prostrate health and without Yvealth am far happier in my religion, than all my rich friends are, in their wealth and health. There is so much wrong in wealth—so many things go wrong,. &c. I am happy said h<4 as tiie days are long; looking forward through grace in Christ “to the sweet by and by.” His testimony was added to that of thousands and ten of thous ands who, like him without health and without wealth, and who, like the Apostle Paul Yvithout a household around him to brighten his days, yet found a true and rich and glad life full of benediction to others here, and opening out into a splendid and end less hereafter. Whilst a Christless life is a sad and eternal failure a life illuminated by the cross, whether bright with prosperity or dark with adversity, abounds in joys that are the rich heritage of the believer, and is worth living indeed. Peace to the ashes of the Y'enerable old father of Israel, who once lived in the vanish ed Washington Hall; and a blessingon the Old Caifital—and all the people of Baldwin county. Cordially vour Friend, C. W. Lane. Senator Brown’s Views on the Silver Question. Mr. John F. Armstrong, of Augusta, goes to attend the great Irish Conven tion to meet in Chyjago, and from there, he goes to the old country to visit liis father and mother, and in form himself more fully of the true condition of Irish affair*. On Friday, some of his warm friends and admir ers called at his home on Broad street, to express their esteem and regard, preY'ious to his departure for his native land. They deli\'ere<l to him through Mr. E. G. O’Conner, and American gold-headed cane, to be “presented to Mr. Francis Armstrong, by Irish Na tionalists of Augusta, Ga., U. S. A., who appreciate his son John’s efforts in behalf of his native land. Slav you live to see our fondest hopes realized— Ireland a Nation. January 15, 1886. ’ Mr. Armstrong very appropriately and feelingly expressed his gratifica tion at tiie compliment paid him. ReY*. Father O’Shau-Lai. requested Mr. Armstrong to convey to his moth er a pair of beautiful rosary beads, with a large gold eross attached, on which was inscribed : “To Mrs. Francis Armstrong, ‘Peace and plenty here, Heaven hereafter.’ The wish of John's friends, Augusta, Ga., U. 18.

No one knew how to reply to it in more fit ting terms than the eloquent gentle man who was the bearer of tiie beau tiful presents to his mother and fath er. In addition to the speeches refer red to, the report says: Historical and patriotic speeches, rich with Irish humor and oratory, were delivered by Hon. P. Walsh, Mr. A. J. Goulev, and others. We regret that our crowded columns prevent a full report of the proceedings. It was an occa sion of tender sentiment, and glorious devotion to old Ireland in her heroic efforts to plant freedom upon tiie ruins of despotic rule. May God in his Omnipotent power, grant her a victorious and permanent triumph. When a man becomes a slave to opium he camioc give up the Habit.

The chains of habit are generally Mr. Brown called up Mr. Beck's silver resolution and addressed the Senate on it. It would be unwise, he said, and unjust to the people to sus pend the coinage of silver at present. So far as tiie bondholders were con cerned, the medium in which they were to be paid had not been left in doubt, but had been nominated in the bond. They were to be paid in in lawful money of the United States. At tiie time of the contract green backs yh ere lawful money of the United States and almost" the only currency. The bondholders, however, many of whom had paid in silver only 40 or"50 cents on the dollar for their bonds, Yvent systematically to work to increase the Y*alue of their demands against the government. They used the columns of influential netvspapers and the brains of influential men and secured the passage of the act of 1869, changing the contract and making the bonds payable in coin without giving fer that change any new con sideration. Coin meant gold or eilt'er. But not yet satisfied, they soon hail the pleasure of seeing the refunding act of 1870 passed which prescribed that new bonds should be paid in coin of the then standard value—the same standard as that of to-day. It would he naturally supposed, Mr. Brown continued, that this system of changing the contract from time to time, making it each time more Y’al- uahle to the creditor, had been carried fur enough and the people would not be asked to do more than pay in gold or silver coin an original greenback debt worth forty cents on the dollar. But not content even then, the next step was to remonetize Sih'er ; for if silver couhi be permanently demone tized there would be effected a re duction of the quantity of coin with which under the contract debts were to be paid, and the value of gold coin, the only coin left, Yvould be greatly increased. After the demonetizing act had been passed, however, the people felt that they had been wronged and sent Representatives to Congress to repeal it and to proY'ide for a reason able amount of annual silver coinage. Since that time the creditor cla«s had failed to influence Congress, but it had been fortunate enough to contin ue to receive payment in gold alone. Those men had been receiving gold alone, while the other creditors of the United States had to take silver or greenbacks. Tiie result was that the bonds had steadily adi anced till they now Yvere worth 120 to 124. But the cry still was that the bondholders should be dealt liberally with, and that tuxes must be increased in order to pay them better currency than other people so us to “keep up the credit of the United States.” When the 3 per cent, bond was at par, Mr. Brown did not care to tax people to put the credit any higher. The offi cers of the treasury, he said, should treat all public creditors alike. If they paid the bondholders in gold aJone, they should pay the laborer in gold. As to the accumulation of silver dollars in the treasury, Mr. Brown in sisted that it was the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to pav them out to public credi tors whenever anything was due, and if that did not dispose of them, he should call in enough bonds on which the people are paying in terest to absorb the silver dollars, and so stop interest payment. If public creditors were paid thirty or forty millions of silver, their endeavors would be to keep up the Y alue of sil ver. If paid in gold only their endea vors Yvould bo to depreciate the Y-alue of silver to make it represent less property. If itwere said that it was not honest to pay them in silver, on the ground that the silver dollar was not an honest dollar, Mr. Brown would reply that it Yvas always hones to pay a debt in the very currency which"the creditor, by his contract, had agreed to take. Creditors had secured several successful changes in the contract, and the contract as it now stood was that bondholders should be paid in gold dollars or silver dollars at tiie convenience of the treasury. Though they had thus agreed "to take payment in either gold or silver, they Yvere being p§dd in gold alone while everybody else was paid in silver. This Yvas neither fair deal ing nor common honesty. Ever since the passage of the act of 1878, remonetizing silver and directing the coinage of two million dollars per month, bondholders and bankers had been threatening that all our gold would be exported if we did not stop tho coinage of silver. It was now eight years since the passage of that act, aiul still, according to the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, we liad twice ns much gold coin as silver coin in the country ; that almost ev ery year we had imported more gold than vre had exported. France and Germany had three times as much le gal tender in silver coin as we had, yet our country Yvas several times larger than those countries combined, while our population ivas more energetic and enterprising than that of any oth er country in the Yvorld. We had with in the past five or six years, exported $500,000,000 worth of merchandize more titan we had imported. Those figures represented tiie sum of money which foreign nations had paid us over ami above the exchange of com merce. Inasmuch as gold was the me dium of settlement between Europe and America, we would receive gold for our European balances. As to our commerce Yvith China in tea, and with Brazil and Cuba in coffee and sugar, the balance of trade was against us ; but those were silver countries and would take our sih’er in settlement. Mr. Brown advocated the issuance of silver certificates to represent the sil ver in the treasury. Every surplus gold and silver dollar, he "said, not part of the necessary treasury reserve should be put into circulation by gold or silver certificates. Instead of hav ing too much sih’er coin, business Yvould be improved if Yve had more of it in circulation in the form of paper certificates. To meet the demands of our com merce and groYving business, we conld safely carry four hundred millions more" silver, and then we would have less legal tender sih’er than France and Germany together, and ®nly little more than France alone. “If the national banks attempt to remon etize sih'er,” said Mr. Brown, in con clusion, “ and if the officers who rep resent the people in the different de partments of the government will not take the matter in hand, then_ the people, at the recurring elections, should take it in hand and fill ah de partments of the government witn men ivho Yvill apply a corrective ana [ forfeit the charters" of &uch banks as J abuse their privileges."

SAVANNAH, Ga., January 4, 1886, Thinking that perhaps some of your readers Yvould like to hear something from this part of the national vine yard, and especially from the “Em pire State of the South,” I drop you a short communication. Many of our people are wild on the immigration idea, and desire to see our southern country filled with foreigners. I take issue on that idea, and only ask for northern capital to come in among us with its practical ideas and help us develop unlimited and Yvonderfal resources. We are conscious of our great re sources, we knoYV our Yvealth in our productions, soil and mines. We are conscious that we have within our selves all the resources a people could desire. We are not ignorant or indifferent: far from it. But with our soil and productions, land aud na- groes as slaves in the past, Yve had bat one idea. We Yvere content to make cotton, and let the frozen north spin it into cloth. Wq Ywre content with a reeiprocal trade, and not an identity and clash of interests. But free negroes lia\’e changed the current of our thoughts; not from choice, but necessity; and we must now turn producer, manufacturer and exporter. We can do all three successfully, and it is only a question of time. Your writer would to-day have been a cotton-planter, had he his slaves; but free negroes do not suit liis taste on a plantation. As richer grew the South in sla\*es, rich er grew New England cotton factories. Don't you see the point in political economy? To-day we are your rivals and com petitors. What money we make must be put into something else be sides lands and negroes. To give you an idea, or your readers, at least, see what we are doing in tho South. The South is gaining alike in agricul ture and in manufactures; but we want more aid and northern capital, We want to leap and run; not walk or crawl. And we invite you, we hold out inducements to you; we will cor dially welcome you if you come among us to build up the South, and your selves grow rich. In 1880 we had 713.989 spindles and 11,222 looms; we now have 1,400,697 spindles and 27,004 looms. Instead of 180 cotton mills, we have 353. In 1880 we had 40 cotton seed oil mills; yvo now havo 146, having a capital of $10,792,450. In 1880 we mined 6,048,- 571 tons of coal. In 1885 the out put of southern mines was 10,844,051 tons. In all parts of the soutii smail indus tries are springing up, and we want some of tiie practical ideas of the New Englander to help us out and go in with us. All branches of manufac tures taken together, have risen in assessed valoes from $313,924,744 in 1880, to $445,656,000 in 1885. There is a good deal of northern capital in the above figures, but it points to what the soutii is doing and what she will be in tiie near future, the greatest manufacturing section of this country. So from necessity. If free negroes are a blessing to the south, they will certainly not prove so to the people of the north within the next twenty years. In this onward march to wealtn, Georgia leads her sister States, and will continue to lead. The state is rich in water falls, ami sites w> 11 al most be given away if parties will but build factories. ,, Three miles from Milledgeviile, Ga.. there are as fine falls as can be found in the state; but the citizens haY-e not the means to build a factory but would cheerfully take stock m one. The citizens are asking that men of capital and experience w°al d build a factory and they will aid to the btst 0f I t presmne I by this time the scare of Ku Klux. southern desperadoes, and pocket-revolvers has about died out All this talk about violence at the polls and not letting the negro rote is all stuff. The reason the ne gro does not vote, many times, is be cause he will not pay his poll tax; he will not walk five and ten miles to vote unless he is paid to do so; he does not attach the least im portance to a vote unless lie Bees a dollar in it. In a word, tiie great ma jority will not vote unles s they are paid to do so. In the cities there are a few noisy demagogue negroes who do a good deal talking, and who want to give themselves influence with the whites and importance with the ne- groes. , The negro has ceased to be an issue with us, and all is peace; he knows his place in society and is taking it without any more words. The car pet-bagger has left, and the thorn in southern flesh is out. When we read the ranting speeches of the bitter partisans north, we only laugh at their assertions, and feel a contempt for their malignity. Let the sober, intelligent, and pains taking Yankee come among us, and he wifi find in us, an open hearted people, who will do all we can to make him feel at home and contented with the people, the soil and ' J*®* auctions. Thisisaland In which to grow rich fast. ^ I •
