Colorado, is hchl up as the emigrant'* para
dise by interested parties in the North, and
the South oh a sort of Inferno, where the
rights of the newly enfran
chised are trampled upon, and
their lives lightly esteemed. The
letter of the Colorado lady w ho seems to
be possessed of an intelligence and percep
tion that place her fur above the ordinary
newspaper correspondent, gives a picture
of life in that Stuto not at ull pleasant to
contemplate. The country is full of despe
radoes who respect no rights and defy all
laws; and woman's consoling thought is,
that as a last resort she can depend upon a
relative to put a bullet through her head to
save her from a worse fate, The writer
hints that much of the Utah excitement is
due to the desire of these people to plunder
their neighbors.
We are more interested in the admission
upon one hand and the direct testimony
upon the other that the character made
for the South in other sections ia based
upon the assertions of "paid liars.” Nothin;
is more true than that the South, instead
of being cold toward and suspicious of
strangers, has suffered most from her xush
confidence in the guests she has hospitably
entertained. The Telegraph has for
twenty years been made the medium for
the exposure of the "angels” that have
been entertained by its constituents to their

One of the funny things recently devel
oped in the speeches printed in tbo Con
gressional Record, but hover spoken, is the
insertion several .times of the word "ap
plause.” Rut tho documents answer every
purpose as electioneering ammunition in
the home districts.
Among the politicul rumors is one to the
effect that sundry gentlemen aro anxious
for the shoes of Allen D. Candler, of tho
Ninth. Tho Democracy of tho Ninth
should treat Candler with great considera
tion. Nobody was anxious for the place when
Emory Speer had been intrenched by
Democratic votes. Candler submitted to the
draft, made tho fight, and has made a good
Representative.
The boys in the olden times had a jolly
time at the circus. One at Romo could hold
over 150,000, where from one to 100 lions
were let loose at a time. Augustus filled
the arena with 3,500 wild animals, and Pro-
bus got on a froe fight between 1,000 wild
boars, 1,000 stags, 1,000 rams and 1,000
ostriches, and the occupants of tho upper
galleries—the gods—had the right to shoot
arrows and javelins into the melee.
A correspondent of a Western newspaper
writes from New York: "Sometimes ouo
would give a great deal more than a penny
for another man's thoughts. A very tall
and venerable looking old man walked down
Broadway. His face was benign, his clothes
hod just enough sodatenoss to show'that
he was a clergyman, bis port was ruther
impressive, and altogether he had the look
of being Homebody or other. In point of
fact he won the Rev. Dr. Rnrchard, who by
the utterance of a single sentence in the
last Presidential campaign made himself
the bated of one party und the ridiculed of
the other. Just as he passed the portico of
a hotel, Gen. John A. Logan, who but for
him would now bo Vice-President of the
United States, kU ppeel cut into the street,
and gazed at him until he got beyond sight.
What I desired intensely to know was ex
actly what Logan thought ubout Rurchard.
What he said was this: "Indeed, was that
Dr. llurchArd? You don't tell me. Ah!
indeed,” and not n woul more would ho
niter on the subject
The readiness with which sincere North
ern people who settle iu the South adopt
the habits and modes of thought of their
neighbors, especially in reference to the
negro, is a striking commentary upon tho
discoveries of tho "paid liars” who come in
to write political essays and blacken the
character of the section. The most ultra
lucu in Georgia to-day, when it comes to
the negro, are those who huvu moved irom
Northern states and made their homes hero.
Is it not strange that these people should
so soon and so unanimously become de
moralized? If tho negro iu the South i
the "down-trodden frieud and brother,” it
argues poorly for Northern civilization that
its representative members caunot reside
six months iu the South without becoming
his enemy.
The truth is tho North and South are
weary of the negro. Iu no Northern city is
he accorded tho social rights that were
promised, llo is burred out of most hotels
and public resorts, the door* of society ure
closed ugaiust him, and in both private aud
political life he is ignored except perhaps
on election occasions. In tho South
it Is the same. It always has
been and will bo. Rut there
no emuity in tho South toward
tho negroes os a race. The section is weary
of him because his presence retards the
progress of these States by keeping out a
hotter class a class susceptible of growth
and dovclopnicut. No people yet bus beon
fouud ready and willing to cut.r into part
nership with tho negro race ou intimate
terms. No auch people will bo found, and
so it is profitable for paid liars to come into
this taction and descant upon tho "horrible
condition of the negroes" and paint their
superiors ns viliians.

A .Soldier's Speech,
We have not before us a copy of tbe
speech delivered by Moj. Douglas, late of
tho “Stonewall Brigade,” before tbe Lowell
Institute in Massachusetts on last Thurs
day, but it must have been in marked con
trast with the sloppy declarations that have
been flashed to tbe South as the utterances
of her representatives during the “ban
quets” und “reunions" of the lust few years.
The Doston Herald says of the Bpeech and
speaker:
“It has all the elements of a thoroughly
instructive and impressive sketch of the
time and the men it developed from a South
ern aspect, and in the matter of interest
there has seldom been a lecture delivered
anywhere that was superior. But its best
feature was the spirit of manlinosB that
pervaded it Seldom has a man stood be
fore an audience who presented in better
combination the qualities of a soldier and a
gentleman. True to those for and with
whom he had fought, carefal to vindicate
their reputation for bravery, for devotion to
their cause, and for heroic devotion in its
upport, he yet frankly admitted that it was
more than a lost cause—that it was a cause
which it was better for those who were
engaged in it should not • succeed. There
was one point on which he was fully in
agreement with his audience—the value of
a restored Union. In this Maj. Douglas
is a type of the best Southern sentiment
of our day. He recognizes an American
ism that has survived tho war—that is
stronger for the war. Tbe North and South
went into the contest of the rebellion with
antagonistic interests, growing ont of the
fact that they were peoples representing
opposing forms of civilization. As to
whether theso were irreconcilable, except
under the arbitrament of war, it is useless
now to speculate. Tho war came, and it
gave them a bloody bnt an effectual settle
ment They emerged from it with tho dis
turbing canso that divided them removed,
and hore is a Southern soldier who comes
from his section to bring tho message to
tho North that liis people rejoice in being
relieved of it.
'How contemptible, in view of such
spectacles as this, appear the efforts of
those who would perpetuate a strife, the
occasion for which lias vanished! He who
coaid stand in the presence of a soldier
such ns Major Douglas, and tanut tho South
with its error or its misfortune, is un
worthy the name of man. Much of such
resentments as the war has left is the re
sult of ignorance or of misconception. It
fails to appreciate the real spirit of the
Southern volunteer. It forgets that he
demonstrated his sincerity by the hard
ships ho endured, the sacrifices he made.
It refuses to exercise that charity whisk
Scripturo exalts among Christian virtues.
But this feeling exists chiefly among those
who have not met tho Southern volunteer.
Our own soldiers knew him better, and
learned to respoct in him many of the
qualities which moved themselves to their
own horoism and endurance. The most
encouraging feature for our restored Union
is that, as those who compose it are
brought together, the prejudices of the
post are inevitably banished in their mutual
intercourse. Nothing tends more to this
most desirable end than the presence of
the sturdy Southern soldier himself among
the Northern people. A plain tale like that
told by Major Douglas, relating Southern
history ns it was during the rebellion, is
enough to counteract the machinations of
scores of pestiferous politicians. And one
of the most potent factors in it is tho ex-
smplo of manliness furnished by the lec
turer himself."
The South will appreciate these words
coming from a representative Eastern jour
nal. Tlie Herald realized some years ago
that at Appomattox the terms of surrender
did not include any promise on the part of
Lte's nriny to express regrets for tho past,and
that the South has abided by tbe agreement
made that day, This realization was nec
essary to tbe appreciation of Major Doug
las's manliness and is highly credit
able to our contemporary. But cannot the
Herald, from the lofty stand it has token,
look down np its less advanced neighbors
and set a good example by eliminating from
any future mention it may make of the
wsr, tho word "rebellion?'' Tbo war be
tween tbe States was a revolution. No man
who reads the constitution of tbe country
can And aught in it to justify the use of the
word "rebellion.'' It carries with it a stig
ma that oar contemporary should not en
dorse. Tiie Herald needs but to read its own
lines carefully to find reason for its disnse.
miles of road and three States at a stand
still for a whole week, are given elsewhere.
The candid inquirer must admit that the
strike was without just cause on the road
firat named, and that the extension of it to
Missouri Pacific was without a shadow of
defense. The strike on the same rood a
year ago was settled by arbitration. Both
sides agreed to certain things, and now,
without a siogle charge against the railway
management, the Knights of Labor delib
erately violate their agreements and show
themselves despicably faithless. Tbe only
excuse given is that they wish to hasten the
settlement of the difficulty on the Texas
and Pacific, a road which is in tho hands of
the United States courts, and over which
the Missouri Pacific exercises no control
whatever.
“This high handed outrage seems to have
deprived the strikers of all public sympathy.
Those who were their friends a year ago,
now meet publicly and denounce them.
Tbe public now begins to see that it is not
a question of railway management, but
simply whether there is any such thing os
the rights of property. It begins to appre
ciate tbe fact that it is a sufferer equally
with the railways and that the strikers are
really a public enemy. The loss to the
railway companies involved is only ono item
in the bill of damages. There aro about
9,000 men engaged in the strike, whose
earnings amount to thousands of doliara
daily. They are entitled to no sympathy
for this loss; bnt as productive la
bor is an element of wealth, the
public is directly the loser in any deduc
tion trom the sum total. Thousands of the
strikers will be unable to pay tbeir debts
and many families will become public
charges. From three to five thousand of
their fellow employes, who are not strikers,
are most unjustly deprived of the means of
subsistence sml made to suffer for tbe crime
of the Knights. Mnny thousands of men
engaged in mining, manufacture, transfer,
and trade of various kinds, also find them
selves sufferers from (be same cause,
fact, tbe entire loss chargeable to this strike
could hardly be overestimated. And the
effects extend far beyond the immediate
territory involved. Improved means of
communication have so interlinked the in
terests of the whole country, that when one
State or city suffers, tho whole must suffer
to some extent.
“It is therefore, in the broadest sense,
public calamity, wliicb has been precipi
tated nominally by a difference between
two railway employes. Will tbe people
the United States take warning? There has
grown up among us a power which can
breed only anarchy and the destruction
government, unless speedily subdued.
The question is one of law or no law. The
public has clearly the right
declare that the highways
commerce shall not be blockaded
the mere whim of an Irresponsible organi
zation. The railways are undoubtedly en
titled to protection iu tbe use of their prop
erty; and the public bos an equal right
unobstructed travel and trade. Tbe con
stitution of tbe United States does not per
mit any State to mako laws interfering w ith
inter-State commerce; yet a labor organiza
tion may, by intimidation—physical and
moral—and by tbe various devices, such as
boycotts," lay an embargo upon the com
merce of whole sections.

The Itailroail Strikes In the Koutliwmt.
The Railway lieview, referring to the
pending strikes in the Southwest, presents
some views which may bn read with profit
and interest by all classes of citizens,
says:
“Considering the widespread membership
of the organization in question and its
manifest lock of all moral or other re
straint, we are inclined to think that the
- listing strike under their auspice* on the
railroads in the Southwest is a fortunate
thing for the country ut large. It is open
ing the eye* of the public to the power pos
sessed by them, and the nit-r lack of any
governing principle. It is making mani
feat tho fact that tbe war li not between
railway corporations and their employes,
but between a see-ret society with wide
spread ramifications and tbepuMie at large.
Already the public voice is heard declaring
that the general government must take this
matter np and make impossible for any
guiizalion to tyrannize over tbe remainder,
and destroy propel ty and life by clogging
tbe wheels ot commirce.

Tezas and Pacific and Missouri Pacfle,
which has held tbe business of nearly 6,W>J were 1,621,182
Although tbe receipts at the outports the
past week were 02,1*29 bales, tbe actual
movement from plantations was 41,457
bales, the balance going to increase tbe
stocks ut the interior towns. Lost year the
receipts from the plantations for the same
week were 24,534 bales, and for 1883 they
were 28,813 bales.
The imports into continental ports this
week have been 33,000 bales.
The figures indicate au increase in the
cotton in sight to-night of 207,084 bales as
mpared with the same date of 1884, a de
crease of 134,938 boles os compared with
tbe corresponding date of 1883, and a. de

review:
The speculation in cotton for ^future delivery
tli in market baa continued very active for the week
under review, but with leas excitement, and prices
allowing a narrower range than in the previous
week. A sharp advance at Liverpool was followed
by an equally sharp decline, and Manchester ad'
vices were generally discouraging. The movement
of the crop has shown some reduction, not only at
the porta, but at the principal interior towns, but
as this is attributed iu part to the strike o
Southwestern railroads, it has liLUe effect. Yester
day there was a variable aud unsettled market, the
olose being slightly lower, underselling by outside
operators who were retiring from the speculation
discouraged by tbe quieter turn of the market. To
day the reports from Manchester were regarded as
very unfavorable, and prices further declined about
10 points. Cotton on the spot has been dull, and

—“Several ^vears ago a beautiful English
girl was nismed in Montreal to one of the
handsomest Spanish gentlemen who hod
ever been in that city," savs th- Boston
Beacon. “Alter two years spent abroad tbe
lady for some canse obtained a divorce, re
turned to America, and until very reeently
gave lessons in Boston in embroidery and
water-colon, and lived with an old family
servant in rooms on Tremont street Two
months ago she wss left nearly $5U,000 by
the death of an nncle in Montreal, where
she now is. As she brought lettcra to some
of onr best known society ladies, she was
able to earn plenty of money for her retired
mode of life. It is safe to say that no hand
somer face could be found in Boston than
that of tbe ‘English Bose,' se she was once
called."
