Americus Recorder. w. t. aunm. uiur. Metal Organ of Webiter WEDNESDAY. DEC. »8#4 TUB HEN SOUTH We have received a New Yorkpnly Iicntion called the “New South.’ It'D 'printed' (n German and dcclar- e* ita object to be to' induce emi gration tolEl? country. We make this nottoe only to'any what we have aaid before, that we bave no •ySipathy whatever with the pur- poee of the publication. It foreign, era will come here upon an inde pendent baaie, paying their own way and selecting, tbeir own bomea and following their calling, like onr own people, we are prepared to welcome them; bot we are opposed th offering them any manner ot bounty or other inducement than snob a*i» offered' our own people to move from one Slate to another, to get them here. This country is now fuir of people who are strug gling hard for a mere living, and their condition will not not be im proved by bringing to their shores from abroad hundreds oi ship loads of foreigners In like, or worse con- dlllon. We have never taken kind, ly to the term “New South” nor to the ideas intended to be conveyed by it, and our aversion to it will be intensified if it is to be vitaticed'to a greater activity, by the importa. tlon of emigrants from abroad.— Columbna Times. Our neighbor is evidently labor, ing under a mistake in sapposlng that tbo publication alluded to ad. vooates the importation ot pan pers into this country. It almply proposes to do for the South what otherpubllcations are doing for the West—calling the attention of for eign emigrants to the resources and advantages of the South as a place of settlement. These emi grants bring with them enough money, generally, to buy a little farm and improve It, and are not dependent upe'n bharity. As a class they are industrious and frugal apd make peaceable and law-abiding oituens. The Norwegians and Swedes generally seek the colder dime of the Northwest, and Wis consin, Minnesota and Dakotp are largely peopled with them. The Southern States would especially snlt the Germans, French, English and iHsh, ai the climate is more like tljat of their native country, and more effort should be made than baa been made heretofore to Induce them to settle upon our cheap lands, as it is an Industrious population that makes a country rich. It is not neacssary that ady bounty should be ottered, as our cheap lands and genial olimate are sufficient' Inducements, when once made known to them. As to tbs term “New South,"we esn see no objection to It, when ita meaning it tint it is entering npen a new era of growth and prosperity. The old order of things baring passed a way,, it is beet to adapt ou|*elvt*}jQ add lm-. prove it by every means in our power, Slavenr,whioh meant large plantatlbna, having beeb done away with, the large plantattona should bo done away with also, and a new era of email farm* and earafnl cul tivation be inaugurated. President Cleveland hat Written a letter to Geo. Wm. Curtis, de claring himself In favor of civil ser vice reform, but be gives Republi can official* who put In more work In politics than in business the fot lowing telr warning; There it a class of government position! which are not within the letter of the olvil service statute, but wbtob are so disconnected with the poliey of an administration that the removal therefrom of the pie sent incumbents, la my opinion, shonid not be made during the term for wblob they were appointed, sole!; cn partisan grounds, and fbr the purpose of patting in their pla ces those who were In political ac cord with the appointing power. But many now holding enoh posi tions have forfeited all just claim the retention, because they have need their places for party purpos es, in disregard of their doty to the people,and because, instead of being decent public servants, they have proved themselves oflenslve partisans aid unscrupulous mani pulators of local party manage ment The lesson ot the poet should be unlearned, and aneh offi ciate, as well as their successors, should be taught that efficiency, fit ness and devotion to duty are the eonditiena of their continual!oe in public place, abd that the quiet end unobetruive exercise of indl- -vtdoal political righta is the rear- onable measure of their parly •mice.
