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 STATE CONVEN TION Generals by the Dozen.

Ross of Texas and Gen. Rosser. An invitation has been issued to the military by the local veterans’ as sociation. A rale has been made of one cent per mile for ai! visiting military who come with not less than twenty in any one command. Let us hope there will be a good prinkhng of privates, also. But 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. Why the South is Solid. Washington April 6.—Representa tives Herbert, ol Alabama, Hemphill, of South Carolina, Turner, of Georgia, Stewart, of Texas, Wilson, of West Virginia, ex-Rcprescntative Barksdale, of Mississippi; Senators Vance, of North Carolina, Pasco of Florida, Vest of Mississippi; and W. M. Fishback of Arkansas, Ira P. Jones of Tennes see, O. S. Long of West Virginia, and J. Sage 0! Louisiana, have col lectively written and will soon publish book entitled “Why the Solid South; Reconstruction and its Results.’’ 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 thor, who thus becomes directly res ponsible for the truth of his state ments, and the claim of the book in preface (written by Gen. Herbert, cdHotA is that in all chapters the ts arc understated rather than over stated. Lite race question and race trouble are extensively discussed ; the statement made that there is no inlcn agitate for i\ peal of the ftf teemh amendment ..r the deportation ol the negro, and educational and material statistics of many kinds are given in support of the contention that the negro is prospering and lint the somh is solving for itself the negro question. The book is dedicated to the business men of the north, with a statement that they are interested in continuing the prosperity of the south. the liquor evils. Delegates to this convention are also invited to meet with the State Temperance association convention in Atlanta immediately following upon ours. It is hoped there will he a large representation ot temperance women from all parts of the state to both these conventions. Delegates to the Rome W. C. T.

Jones Smith. Harrison Braces up Buck. Washington, April 7.—Col. Buck left for Atlanta last night not to return, lie said, till next fall if he could help it. lie says lie finds that his letters 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 tor in Georgia. A pretty pass lor Georgia, the empire stated the south, to come to.
