met a Detroiter, formerly a teller in

told me that within a year he had
liirnished saws and other equipments

Florida and Georgia. Several of the
lumbermen are Iron: Michigan.”
Rep.—“That’s not to be wondered
at. Miehigan leads the world on
lumber.”
Com.—“ Not quite. I conversed
w'th a firm at Bolling, Alabama, wlm
assured me that the week previous
they had shipped two car loads of
Southern flooring pine to Pontiac,
Miehigan. What do you think of
that?”

chivalrous and patriotic. They love
good government, they ther’sh good
citizens and an most anxbus to fill
up their States with a good class of
people, and to that end, will welcome
every honest man who comes to make
a home among them.”
Rep.—“Is land easily acquired in
the South ?”
Com.- “ Farming lands may In
obtained on reasonable terms almost
anywhere. The abolition of siave
labor has made the management of
large plantations an undesirable task
to most Southerners. The practice
now is, inosJy, to rent the land on
shares, the owner in many eases furs
iiisliing everything Imt the labor.
The negroes, under such circum>
stances, do not work well. They arc
content with a mere livelihood. The
returns from a large plantation are
therefore trifling, and many owner,
are more than willing to cut up their
plantations into smaller lartns and
dispose of them on reasonable terms.”
Rep.—“ Is their mode oi farming
as good as that at the North ?’’
Coin.--“Oh, no; far different. I
saw land in Georgia that had been
cultivated a hundred years and pro
duced good crops under wh.il a
Northern farmer would think the
most ridiculous system of culture.
Now. I’ll venture to s.iv you never
saw a ‘scooter’ plow!”
Rep.—“Never did. Yoii’v*

Com.—“ When I saw it first, on
the farm of Maj. W. B. Cox, near
Atlanta, I was astounded. Take the
stump of a three inch carpenter’s
chisel and attach it to a beam and a
handle, and you have the * scooter.’

Secretary Sherma.i, who is iu New '
\ ork, was interviewed Thursday in
regard to the charges made by Wm.
E. Chandler in his open letter to
New Hampshire Republicans, and
gave the following as an authorita
tive denial on his part: “ There is
no truth whatever in ihc story; I
never made any sucii bargain as is
alleged in the letter, and I dp not
believe any of the ot hers did. I voted
and made a two hours’ speech against
j the electoral bill, ami fought these! I think t impossible.”
besieged the While House and j
claimed that such action before the j
inauguration would endanger the J
Presidency.
“ No doubt Mr. Chandler and j
many of his associates thought that I
Haves would join them in violation !
ol the guarantees which the Republi- j
can parly was eager to give when j
the Presidency was in peril; but ij
say, advisedly, that 1 lie South did
not tear Hayes, as it appears we had
a higher opinion of his truthfulness,
honesty and patriotism than his for
mer supporters. We did fear tlie
remorseless and vindictive power of
the Rapublican party leaders, like
Mr. Chandler, whose malignity is
written in bold letters in every cam
paign in the State since 1870 Louis
iana sought simply to know if the
leaders would let IIay« s alone. If
any bargains were made, the Repub
lican party leaders, so recognized
hen by the whole country, w«-re the
parties to them. If any bargains
were made by Mr. Haves I never
heard of them.
“ As to the reopening of the Pres
idential issue we consider it closed.
The old combination between Sena
tor Cnukliiig and Democratic Sena
tors, which offered to Louisiana and
the country a defeat of the electoral
count and a new election under
Co..kling, may he revived with a view
of opening the electoral qiicstio:;, but
