Several of the lumbermen are Iron: Michigan.” Rep.—“That’s not to be wondered at. Miehigan leads the world on lumber.” Com.—“ Not quite.

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.

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.
