ACCOUNTING FOR IT
Malherbe preferred Statius before every
other poet. Heinsius aud Corneille val
ued Lucan above Virgil. Adrian consid
ered the eloquence of Cato superior to
Hint of Cicero. And Scaliger placed Ho
mer and Horace far beneath Virgil and
Juvenal, llow shall we account for so
unworthy preferences? Because the re
flect one has for an author is proportioned
lo the analogy between his ideas aud those
..f his reader. On this principle it is
quite easy to account for the "enthusiasm
hit Grant and Wilson," among bitter po
litieal fire-eaters and the “ unconditional
surrender host ” who arc held together
by the “cohesive power of public plun
der.” The analogy is plainly visible
between them and their Master. "Addi
tion, Division, and Silence,” have been
their words of power. They impoverish
the people by their “addition and divis
ion," and propose lo answer for tiieir
dimes by “silence.” An old proverb
says “ A man may hold his tongue iu an
ill time," aud —Amyclas silentium perditi
(" Amyclto was undone by silence") —so
let us hope that the silent man at Long
Branch and liis following may lie sent
where they can indulge their penchant
without detriment to public interests.

cessors. Among the writers of the pres

Aiken, W. H. Yeomans, and E. 11 Pen
dleton, of Sparta; all authorities in their

PEACE.
Every day it is predicted that the pres
ent political campaign will ho of unprece
dented bitterness. We have no faith In
llie prophecy. It is expected that all
means will be resorted to by Hie adherents
of the present Administration to retain it
and prolong the agony of misrule. The
people are prepared for extraordinary rev
elations by the seers of partisanism and
for the most degrading measures on the
part of political corruptionists.
Il has already been discovered, by the
wise men of the Administration faction,
that the Libera! movement is hut another
rebellion in disguise. They would per
suade the people that the great coalition of
parties and sections which culminated at
Baltimore, is simply a mevemeut to re
store the South to power aud rob the Na
tion of what they are pleased to call the
grand results of the war. The objective
point is the enfranchised race, as usub!,
aud they seem determined to force the war
on Africa. But the issue lies not here —
and they know it. The Scale does not
turn upon that point, and the direction of
the colored vote will not materially aifect
the grand result.
It is not an issue of race or complexion,
or even of parlies, but of Administration of
government. An Administration elevated
by the dominant parly, has violated its
I rusts anil degraded ils power. It lias
proved recreant to its supporters, substitu
ting despotism for constitutional forms,
aud personal aggrandisement for National
weal. It has basely betrayed and wickedly
ignored the master spirits of National pro
gress, and elevated to leadership the vicious
and the ignorant. It has sought to barter
tlie Nation’s houor in the markets of the
world, and to employ the Nation's strength
in keeping in perpetual degradation whole
States possessing sovereignty.
No jurisdiction has been sacred against
its unsconstitutional crusade.
These acts of despotism have disintegra
ted its own party, and it is to-day an Ad
ministration by National sufferance with
out allegiance or respect.
But one result could come—it lias come.
The Nation has arisen, and having oblitera
ted sectional lines and party distinctions,
demands the restoration into its hands of
the authority so wantouly abused. There
must he no petty exhibition of acrimony,
as though a party sought the overthrow of
its opponent, but the calm, dignified, au
thoritative command of the master to the
unjust steward—“give an account of thy
stewardship, for thou mayest he longer
steward.”
The country is in too deadly lArncst, and-,
the unanimity, as we hope, is lc* complete
for the restoration of good government, to
admit of violent methods in the consum
mation of its purpose.
The calm resolve is more to be feared
lhau the blatant threat, and the union of
interests than the violence of faction. The
extremes of the Nation are cohered, and
peace comes at last, as we believe, in the
choice of an Administration that will re
store to the States their ignored jurisdic
tion, and to aii the people the right to pro
tection by laws that they righteously enact
ami cheerfully obey.

THAT BUREAU
A resolution passed the Stale Senate
yesterday providing for the appoint
ment of a joint committee of five to
report upon the feasibility of establishing
a Bureau of Direct Trade aud Immigra
tion between the ports of Europe and of
Georgia, and ascertain the causes of the
failure of previous efforts in this direc
tion, aud the remedy.
As to the importation of Direct Trade,
there cannot be two opinions. Those
States are most prosperous whose com
merce with other countries is great and
direct and whose home productions at
tract the capital of distant nations. Hut
this matter is governed entirely by the
industries and conditions ot the States
themselves. The increase of trade must
follow the multiplication of industries and
industrial agents. So long as we make
New York shippers the custodians of our
cotton—our only article of export of any
account—it is vain to sigli for foreign
shipping in our magnificent hut silent
ports. New York manages to mortgage
each crop before it is fairly above
ground, and will effectually prevent direct
trade, so long as this terrible monopoly
exists.
If a Legislative committee can devise a
plan for the immediate removal of this
difficulty, the question will he greatly
simplified. The immigration project is
the real one. No effort should be spared
to induce the tide of immigration in the
direction of the Southern Slates, and great
effort has already been employed, hut
with inconsiderable success. During the
month of May 52,770 immigrants passed
through the gates of Castle Garden, New
York, and 40,758 in June, making a
total in two months of 93,528 souls. The
immigration hooks at Castle Garden show
that hut 885 of this number turned South
ward to find homes. Georgia received 39,
while North Carolina received but 9.
Elaboration is needless.
There are two causes operating to keep
down the figures of immigration to the
South. First, foreign dread of competition
with the labor element of the South.—
While the Hibernian and the Prussian
may willingly accord the rights of man
hood and citizenship to the npgro, they
shrink (and uo discredit to them) from as
suming any closor relationship.
The second cause is even more dama
ging—namely the “ reign ofterror ” which
has been systematically maintained by
the present Administration, all over the
South, particularly along the Sea-hoard.
It is lolly to talk about increasing immigra
tion in a country whoso industries are
paralyzed by the tramp of hostile soldiery
and whose citizens are in daily and night
ly fear of arson and murder.
The only remedy that can lie suggesteds
is a change of Administration, when the
establishment of peace and the assurance
of protection, will quicken tho energies of
the pcoplo at home and attract settlers
from abroad. We cannot therefore see,
What a Bureau of Direct trade and Im
migrating, can do in this matter, except to
relieve the State treasury of funds for it
support.
The Southern Review, vol. XL, No. 23, A
T. Bledsoe, I,L. 1)., Editor, St. Louis;
Southwestern Book and Publishing
Company.
This ponderous Quarterly for the quar
ter ending with the present month, vindi
cates its claim to a place in the van of
modern criticism and thought.
The first urticle is on the hackneyed
subject of “ Apostolical Succession,” and
appears to he Hie first in a contemplated
scries of papers on the same subject.
So learned and elaborate a paper is, un
doubtedly proper food for a review, and
cannot lint he a sweet morsel for theolog
ical wranglers, hut we shall not attempt a
synopsis of it for our readers, taking it for
granted that they move in an atmosphere
of sublime indifference to tho interminable
controversy.
The second article is more to our liking,
and, we opine to the majority of the
readers of the Review. It is an admirable
and favorable criticism of " Southern
Voices,” a volume of poems by Dr. W. 11.
Holcombe, of New Orleans; published by
J. B. Lippincott & Cos., Philadelphia.
Says Hie reviewer : “ Southern Voices ”
is the offspring of the late war. Had our
poets been silent on the occasion, the very
stones would have cried out against them.
The full soul is always eloquent. The
voice pours forth in song when the heart
remembers. The hand seizes hold of the
harp to quiet the agitations of the spirit.
A down trodden people sometimes rises
higher for its fall, and expresses itself in
numbers. * * * * j u (] ie
main, the poetry of our author bears evi
dence of artistic skill, and will pass suc
cessfully through the ordeal to which the
most cynical reviewer 'inay it.”
After glancing at some of the sorectionß
from Mr. Holcomb’s hook, we tmi inclin
ed to agree with the genial rcvie&r.
We have space for one speciKu only,
but we are contkleut that intelligent read
ers will desire to lcno\y the whole, a small
part of which is so exquisite. It isdhe last
staD/aof “The Dead Soul,” which must
indeed recall the wondrous spirit and
genius of Shelly :
“ Whatever may he in the land or the sea,
Or the blue dome brooding above,
What Nature reveals in her opening seals,
Of beauty, or glory, or love ;
What Art unrolls ou tier flaming scrolls,
Or bards in music rehearse,
.Arc the shadows fulling from our souls
Outlie floors of the Universe.”
Tlic remaining articles in the Review
are A Survey of the Churches; Hume's
Philosophy; lion. A. 11. Stephens on the Late
Her—which may be emphatically styled
a war of words between Stephens and the
edttor of the Southern Review.
Romance of Heal Life an admirable pa
per on Wallis’ discourse on the life and
character of George Peabody.
London and its People; a readable and
entertaining account of a picture of Lon

IK TANARUS) Whedon, D. I)., is the title of a
very severe retort by Dr. Bledsoe upon
l)r. Whedon. It seems to he a sort of
Kilkenny eat fight, and does no credit to
the Review.
A few Book Notices complete the table
of contents. This department is promised
greater attention in future. We hope this
will not prove “a promise to the ear, to
be broken to the hope."
Hon . B. 11. Hill began a series of arti
cles on the Majority Report on the State
Road lease in the Constitution, yesterday.
The first article is able and temperate, and
concludes thus
As 1 do not write anonymous commu
nications ; as I desire nothing more than
to get before the public all the true facts
touching this lease—almost the only good
work which a minority of true and noble
Democrats were able to accomplish under
the Bullock reign ; and as I am more than
willing that my friends, the fair and learn
ed four who sign this report, shall have all
the advantage in the discussion to which
the fact can entitle them, I sign my name
to this and the other articles following ou
this report. Ben.i. 11. Hn.fi.
