The Columbus Times, speaking of

rallel to the 32% latitude, and that it
will form the road-way for a large
portion of thc Great Southern Pacific
road when that gigantic enterprise
shall be completed, and hence benefit
the cotton slates very greatly.

Such is the text of Senator P-. II.

which is before us. At no time i i tie

slials at thc polls. It is surpassing y
eloquent and powerful. A AYasldn, :-
ton paper furnishes the followii
synopsis of the speech:
Mr. Hill’s speech was a general r •-
ply to all Ilie Radical speeches wli
have been made since the extra si.»-
siou begun. Hu defended bis par ;
friends and his section. He wns a I
fiercely aggressive. lie stlrprissd tb
Republican Senators by boldly avo .-
ing that he lutd ever been at heart i
staunch I’nion man. lie bud nlwa *
desired to preserve the governme. t.
Early in the speech be declared tli ,t
he agreed with Mr. Conkling that to
refuse thc appropriations ncccssa -v
to carry on the government would a-
treasonable. But he also made a vig
orous raid on the abuse of tlie vt a
power by Mr. Ilaycs. After disclos
ing this branch of the subject, ni-i
insisting that the use of the veto
prevent the repeal of. bad laws was a
violation of the Constitution, he mailt
his main assault upon tlie Republic!
position by charging that their o
jeet was tlio destruction of the Stn <
authority as an element iu tlic Ecdr.
ill Government. To prove this pur
pose, lie quoted in turn from Con
ling and Logan. Citing Mr. Con.-
ling's speech on the necessity for t
use of the army to suppress the In--
Indent people of Now A"oi k city, 0-
asked if New York were unable i
protect herself, vvliat oilier State
able. Thu logical conclusion is tli- -
thc States mint be destroyed. The.
were two parties which bad been ii -
iuiica! to the government from tl c
beginning. One was the Secession
party, the other the Consolidate -
party. The former element was rep
resented by the men who caused tli .-
Southern State* to secede, ar, :
brought nhout the rebellion. Tic
other element was represented by
men who are now striving to central
ize all the power of the land iu tb *
Federal Government.
Thc concluding part of the oratio.;
was lurgely devoted to meeting the
charge of Mr. Conkling and other-
that the country was in dauger from
Confederates in Congress. Ilia at
tacks on tlie Radical leaders wee.
fierce, aud especially on poor Chan •
dler, whose blood-letting letter o'
1861 Mr. Hill read with much gestc.
In 1868 he had a correspondence will
that great aud good man, H i p c;
Greeley, who did more to buil.1 .li
the Republican party than any -glie
man iu America. Mr. Greeley wa ,
honest in his convictions, and b > olj
declared them. In his tetter tc tlia
gentleman, in reply to something :har
had been said concerning hiir, h
wrote that lie was entitled to ar au
dience of the readers of the Trihut-e.
having, in the winter of 1860, wt t o q
the people against secession, aco ink'
them the war would come—an i r.e-
qual, fierce, vindictive and desoluiii/-
war. Many of tho Free Soiiers tail
if the South de«ired to seccd;. i;
could do so in peace. Thcpcoplao-
the South did not secede became o
hostility to the Constitution. The)
pledged themselves to form a new
one on the model of thc old. Tin
South seceded because war was t-iadc
on its constitutional rights by thc ex
tremists of the North to destroy its
property, and because the Northern
people, through their Republican
leaders, said that secession should be
accomplished in peace. Mr. Greeley
said they wanted no Union pinned
together by bayonets. There were
hundred* of thousands of person*
who believed that the only way to
avod a war was to secede. They be
lieved they had a right to protect and
preserve their slave property. If
they had believed that war would
result they never would have secede i
The representative* of the S.iutl
must be trusted, Tlie South sought
to avert the war, while tho North
tried to bring it on. He know the
Republican* claimed to have sarc 1
tlic Union, but if there had been no
Republican party tlie Union would
not have been in peril, and there
would have been no secession, no re
turning boards and electoral commi s
sions.
It bad been said here tiiat if tlie
people of the)North have another war
it will cut deeper than the first one.
AYould they make war because the
people want purity and intelligence
in thc jury-box—to keep the troop;
away from tho polls, and because
they wanted to say to tho States,
“You aro able to control your elec- !
tions; because the representatives of
the South stood hero as a bulwark
against those who would destroy the
f'nnalWttfJzvn Kv ftaatiuviiSsw* Oa—a
help them to save it, but we aro here
to liclp.thcm preserve it.”
Born and reared ainid tlie tradi
tions of shivery, lie yet wished, when
secession was proposed, that slavery
should perish rather than stand iu
Hie way of tlie maintenance of tlie
Union. In disunion he saw anarchy,
hon or, tlic destruction of the Elates,
and only despotism. Disunion in
auy form was nothing but bloody
waste and ruin to all races and con
ditions of men.

After reviewing the past aud pros

finances are in a hopeless condition,
and, in our opinion, will so continue
until some step is takeb to bring our
scrip and county orders near a par
basis; ami if funds can be raised to
liquidate present indebtedness by in
creased taxation, we recommend this
course. Iu addition to the per cent,
which the law authorizes our board
of commissioners to assess, we rec
ommend a levy of 50% on the State
tax, making a total of 100%.
AVe also have elected John A. Mc

with instructions to prepare a suita

COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS.
AVe recommend that the Act

structcd to have a bill passed by the
legislature to re-enact the Actof 1875,
entitled “An Act to create a County
Board of Commissioners of Roads
and Revenues,” with tho following-
amendment*: The ti-nn of said com
missioners to be three years; their
salary to be three dollars per month,
with no extra pay for extra services.
That the grand jury for tlic Novem

warmness in regard to educational
causes:
1st, From incompetent teachers.
2d, No good or comfortable houses
for schools.
3d, Time public schools are taught,

able liodics known ns the “Moffett
men of Ilie South would go with tbs
stars and stripes—thc flag of their
country. Thc people would tala:
charge of the question.” He assured
those who heard him that the North
nccdlnot lie alarmed on account of
tho South, but they bad cause to lie
alarmed by such threats as liavo been
made by the leading Republicans.
Mr. Hill said : “It was'through the
vory agency of tlic authority and so v
ereignty of the State which you
thought you had destroyed, that wc
arc able to bo here to-day, not tliro’
intimidation and fraud. It is not
truethat wo aro solid against tie
North. We are solid against thc Re
publican party. Why should wo not
be? Gan you wonder? I will not
speak of tho past. Do von think we
are going to love you for tlie speech
es you have mado during the last four
weeks, criminating and slandering i s
in every form ? You may not know
it, but we are men. Evory vile sicr,-
of fraud, no matter how unworthy < f
belief, is paraded against the Souil -
ero people; and no matter how nroci
testimony of good men wo bring foi -
ward to refute these falsehoods, tbt t
testimony it cried down. We regard
the Republican party as merely sec
tional. We join the Democrats o~
the North because we admire tiiei -
course during the war. Wo had
terrible ordeal, but they had a woisn
one. The fidelity to tho Union Mis
believed in led them to fight agiit s
us, but after the war they met us a
men, and that it why wo go will
them. If the South wore solid again*;
tho Constitution it would be repre
hensiblc, but they were not We art
solid for prescrvlhg the Constiti tioi
and its principles. It is not we b.i
Northern men who seek strife ano
who are against the Union. It w.u
not the Republicans but tha Northern
Democrats who saved the Union,and
they will preserve it. Wa could uot
