with .nv own eves that per-
., n9 1 should leave the statement
of its advantages to others.
‘ffhat direction will Southern
pr °Tbe'building up of its manufac
lor 'e» first. Money always seeks
profitable investment 1 find many
ttroiiressive men of the South, who
five the cars of Northern capital-
ist , anil have secured a large influx
of money, the result of which can
L seen in Atlanta, Birmingham
and Chattanooga. In time this
draws population. The South,
though the richest portion of our
national heritage, was walled in by
lavcry, in contact with whicn free
uhor could not come without de
grading itself. The hardy peasan-
, P rv of Europe who sought our
shores, did so with the view of bet
tering their condition. Consequent
ly they would not go near the slave
line, take Mississippi, for instance.
There is a State blessed by nature,
fortified by human inventive genius
and made attractive by wealth, the
natural centre of the United States.
Her lands, her minerals, all were
inviting. Yet the great flood of
emigration rolled over it and kept
on until Kansas was reached,where
labor was the treeman’s heiitage,
and the community was not weight
ed down by an incubus from the
barbarous age. But the events of
the last twenty years have changed
all this, and the incoming of the
present administration has set in
motion a new era in which the
South will play an important part.”
Four years ago,” said Mr.
Beecher, after a pause, “when the
Garfield campaign wa9 in progress,
1 said to my people that I hoped
to see the day when I might vote
for a Southern man for President.
What was then a wild dream has
now come to reality. There arc
Southern men now before the pub
lie—Democrats—whom I would
vote for to place in the Presidential
chair. I have no names to olfer—
it is too early’ to name men for the
next race, and many things may
happen in four }ears to change the
drift ol public opinion—but if the
election were to take placo to-day,
under present influences, there arc
Southern men who would he
thought of in the North far the
Presidency.”
“What are the prospects of the
Democratic administration and its
continuance in power?"
"Conducting the government on
the high plane which Mr. Cteve-
has marked out for it, a hearty
adherence to the principles of the
civil service law, giving the coun
try peace and prosperity, there is
no reason why it should not have
half a dozen terms in the Presi
dency. The worse danger that
could befall the Democracy now
would he the removal of Cleveland.
The accession of Hendricks, rep
resenting the ultra bourbon Bern
ocracy, disposing of the ofllces as
rewards for political services,
would throw the country back and
recall Republicanism back into
favor. The conduct of the South
during the last two weeks has
been remarkably heroic. With the
Presidency in its possession, it
has not hampered him by pleading
lor ollice, but bus stood by in a
J. dignified mannei and allowed
him to shape allairs in his own
wsy. The President’s plan is to
fill the responsible bureau chief-
ships with representative Southern
men, such men ns have influence
it home, and whose appointment
will have more Influence than a
hundred clerks. The enforcement
of the civil service rules will not
destroy party organization. The
men who fill the ofllces are but
barnacles who really do nothing
for party success, are noisy, and
have little influence at home. If
some men who do not get into
ollice are disappointed thereat,and
threaten to kiok out of party
traces, those who keep in ofllce
*! htocome Democrats, thus time
will make all this even. Besides
what are ofllce holders, when set
?P*8*'n»t sixty million people?
*: Cleveland adheres to civil ser
ies, he will be re-eleoted to the
residency—he does not want it;
• ut lll( e many other men he is will-
e to serve hts country.”
,. K * , erring to the negro problem,
“• “eecher regarded it as settled.
The war went through the South
*'“ e a P* ou 8h through a prairie
fleld, turning over the turf of so
ciety with the whites under and
the blacks on top. It was a terri
ble state of affairs; which the
Southern people endured with a
heroism unequalled in history.
That they deported themselves so
well then proves that they are
equal to the problems ot the future.
The future of the races will he

His Condition Approaching the Fat.il
Crlala,
New York, March 30 The phy
sicians in attendance upon General
Grant were at bis house late last
night and have not yet (2 a. m.)
issued the nightly bulletin. The
General is supposed to oe worse.
A LATER BULLETIN.
The usual weekly consultation of
General Grant’s condition was held
to-day. Dictora Barker, Sands,
Shrady and Douglas were present.
The irritation of the nerves, which
had produced a train of symptoms
which had induced the family to
send for the physicians last night,
bad been relieved so that the gen
eral had a sleep of four hours, from
three to Beven, and nnps of more
or less duration during the morn
ing making seven or eight hours’
sleep during the last twenty-four.
The general presented at the con
sultation a much improved appear
ance to-night. He was free from
pain and reasonably free from the
annoying discharge which had troii
bled the family iast night.

How He Struck It Very Rich.
Mr. J. B. Franz, proprietor of
the St. James’ Hotel, Mansfield,
0., is in luck on account of the
purchase of a ticket in the Louis
iana State Lottery. Several weeks
since Mr. Franz, who has previous
ly drawn small sums in the lottery, I
invested in one whole ticket and |
five one-fifth tickets, paying $10
for the same. Yesterday (Feb.
10tb,) the drawing took place and
Mr. Franz received a telegram
notifying him that his whole ticket
had drawn $6,000 in cash, which
sum is subject to his order.—
Mansfield (Obio)Liberal, Feb. 11.
Rumor says that a project is on
foot t* establish a line of coaches
between Tallahassee and Tbomas-
ville, for the purpose of transport
ing passengers and the mails. An
effort is being made to organize a
joint stock company to purchase
elegant coaches and a sufficient
number ot fine horses to have a
relay every eight miles, and make
the trip between the two cities in
about five hours. With this line
established parties leaving Talla
hassee after breakfast would take
dinner in Thomasville, supper in
Savannah, And reach New York
next evening — about thirty-six
hours from Tallahassee to New
York. And vice versa, parties
leaving Now York in the morning
would arrive at Tallahassee the next
evening. Should this line be es
tablished it would receive the con
tract to carry the mails, as it would
take them through several hours
in advance of any other route.
Mr. Phelps, the newly appointed
Minister to England, has a brother
in Washington who is a clerk in
one ol the departments. A niece,
also, is employed in the War De
partment.

Planting Potatoes in Mliisomiiicr.
In the Province of Ecquador,
South America, is said that the fin
est potatoes in the world are grown.
The climate there is usually about
80 degrees, and varies but few over
or under during the entire year.
The climate of Georgia is natur
ally too wArm for the potatoes, but
by planting about the twentieth of
June they mature in September and
October, when the climate is about
the right temperature. Mulching
with leaves or other substances,
serves the double purpose of keep
ing the ground moist and cool.
Hence, by planting in midsummer,
with the aid of mulching, an artifi
cial temperature of about the right
degree can be attained. Potatoes
thus grown are inclined to be round,
smooth, free from protuberances
and better every way than those
grown without mulching in a cli
mate that is naturally too warm lor
them, tp say nothing of the largely
increased quantity that can be
grown where the conditions are la-
vorable.
The Swift Manufacturing Com
pany of Columbus has just com
pleted three bed spreads mado of
silk, costing $12o each. They will
be Bent to the Now Orleans Expo-
sition. To give an idea of the
amount of labor and skill by which
these goods are made would per
haps be difficult. In the first
place, a card boird 800 feet long
and 18 inches wide is used in mak
ing the design, and it is neccessary
to make 1,198.680 holes in the
card board In doing this. It takes
45,840 yards of silk for the warp,
while the filling consumes 262,007
yards of the same material. In
weaving the spreads, then, it re
quires 1,198.080 movements and
aa mans changea in the harness.
There are 2,640 iron weights to
pull down the threads, and the
Hftiuc number of cords in the bar-
ueu l.. lilt the weights. The
weaver finds it necessary to throw
the shuttle back and forth 12,000
times in making a spread.
