H. B. BURR, DnNlnpM Jtnnngor,
They Should be Spotted
Mr. Depew has repudiated th-
i nterviewd published in the Washing
ton Post, in which he is reported to
have slandered the southern people
In his denial, however, there crops
out that misrepresentation of the south
which has been the shibboleth of the
republican party. That party—and
its unscrupulous leaders—thrive and
fatten on the slanders which they con
tinually circulate about the southern
people. Mr. Depew was made the
recipient of many courtesies during
his recent southern tour; and while
he disclaims some oi the expressions
attributed to him by the Post, at the
same time he, either intentionally or
otherwise misrepresents the people
who opened their doors to him
But this is not an uncommon
thing. In fact it is very com
mon. It would be well if our
people could spot these men who
thus violate and abuse the laws of
hospitality. The south has nothing
to conceal. Her methods, politically
speaking, are as pure—nay more so—
than are. those of many northern lo
calities. The south has no objection
to fair and legitimate criticism, but
when she is grossly slandered by me?)
who come south and met with that
open handed hospitality which dis
tinguishes the Southern people, it is
time to draw the line at these political
ghouls, who, to gain a party advan
tage, do not hesitate lo misrepresent
a people who are their equals in
everything which goes to make up
true manhood.
Mr. Depew is nothing more nor less
than a typical republican politician.
Pity ’lis that no prominent republican
at the north has the honesty, and the
manhood, to rise up and say that the
south is, again, an integral portion ot
the union, and that she should be
judged with the same judgment which
is meted out to the north. But this
course would not satisfy the vampires
who feed on sectional hate. They
roll slander under their tongues as a
sweet morsel, and glory in fanning
the dying embers of the late war.
When Mr. Depew says, in his ex
planation :
“It is charged that men convicted
of Imperious and trivial offenses, and
sentenced, arc leased out in blocks to
private contracts, who become res
ponsible for them, and are the judges
ol the amount of work they perform,
of food they receive, the comforts they
enjoy, and even of the corporal pun
ishment to be administered, the state
only retaining a sort of perfunctory
supervision of them,” the gentleman
shows that he does not understand
our system. The state’s supervision
of convicts is not "perfunctory.’’ She
looks after the welfare of these crimi
nals and holds lessees responsible for
their humane treatment. If Mr.
Depew and his Northern allies would
give their attention to the correction
of well known abuses at the north,
and let the south alone, they would
find enough to do.

A rale has been made of one cent

privates are mighty scarce these days.
A rich bed of phosphate has been
discovered within three miles of Tal
lahassee. It is said to be the richest
yet discovered in that state. The
area of the find is half a mile wide
and two miles long. Great excite
ment prevails in Tallahassee.
The military Advisory Board
met in Atlanta, on Monday,
and decided not to admit any more
new companies, for the present, on
account of lack of funds to equip
them. June 3rd was fixed as the time
for the commencement of the encamp
ment at Augusta.

undertakes to narrate fairly and
dispassionately, in a concise and pop
ular form, the history of the recon
structed governments in each state,
showing how the republicans obtained
control and how they lost it; figures
d facts as to tile shrinkage of values
and the increase of debt and taxation
under these governments, and the
prosperity of the south under its pres
ents auspices. The book speaks of
Abraham Lincoln’s death as an ap
palling calamity to the south ; argues
that Andrew Johnson followed strictly
'resident Lincoln's plan of rcslora
tion, and contends that if President
itncoln had lived he would have been
able lo defend that plan against the
assault ol congress.
Each chapter is signed by its au

ponsible for the truth of his state

preface (written by Gen. Herbert,

accomplish practically as much as his
personal visits. He called on the
President yesterday, and had, he says,
a most cordial reception and a most
satislactory talk. Incidentally he
recommended Maj. l’ierce for a
consular appointment, and explained
the Augusta postoffice situation so
that the President would understand
it when the papets reached him.
Buck is, it appears, supreme dicta
