Hanson, Manager. ngrr 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 the Legislature has not yet been educated sorrow, A little boy has sent the New York World ten cents for the "United States Navy.” Does the boy want to help the government buy a new navy, or is he try ing to buy the one we have? The Century for April will have three articles upon the Alabama and Kenrsage, one of them by Capt. Kell, the executive officer, who now resides at Sunnyside in this State. It is unlawful to kill song-birds in Ne vada at any season of the year; but in Georgia, one of the original thirteen States, np to the point where it can comprehend the necessity for a law protecting song birds. 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. hhrtiU anil 1'atclics.

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. It 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. “The details of the great strike on the 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 crease of 251,010 bales as compared with 1882. * The Chronicle has tho following to say of the market iluctuations for the week under Dr. It.

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.
