In bis remarks to tho Ohio editors
that made so profound an impression
upon them, Governor Stephens was
not accurately reported, and ns he is
one of those historic characters whoso
utterances have a wide reading all
over tho country, his own reputation
as a philosophical statesman, as well
as the intrinsic influence of his senti
ments for good to his section, require
that what he says should bo properly
reported, particularly when his re
marks refer to the grent question
of tbe relationship of the sec
tions of this great country. In
bis talk to the Ohio editors
he referred to the Union and
its blessings to all. He spoke felic
itously of especially the links of ma
terial interest that bound the South
to the Northern and particularly tbe
Western States in a harmonious and
restored Union. At this point one of
the western visitors interrupted him
with the expression, “You are in the
Union to stay." Governor Stephens,
with bis nsunl quick promptness, re
sponded : “Yes, so long ns yon men of
the North shall maintain the right, as
we of the South shall, and that, I
trust, wfll bo forever.” It was n most
apt and patriotic reply and evoked
benrty npplnnse.

THE SOOTH FOR IMMIGRANTS
BY COLONEL A. POPE.

southern,woru, Lynchburg, ▼», of the four States; while tbe middle
Alt great immigration movements and Piedmont ^ otioU8 aSor3 timber
for ‘agricultural and manufacturing
can be traced to two general causes:
An overcrowded population at home
compelling a migration of some, for'
want of adequate support for all; or,
again, the opening of distant and in
viting fields, where, to better their
condition, energetic and enterprising
spirits betake themselves.
Both of these causes have operated
to direct to oar shores a large num
her of excellent and desirable immi
grants. These persons have come
from their European homes with a
purpose to locate permanently in this
republic, and to sbare witti ourselves
the fortune that may befall our coun
try. They are in many instances, pos
sessed of considerable means, which
they expend in the parchase of home
steads; they are generally frugal, tern
perate and energetic, which qualities
they devote to the good of the com
munity in which they make their
homes.
For many years this tide of immi
gration has been towards tbe West.
The effect of it is seen to-day in tbe
remarkable growth and prosperity of
those States within whose borders
these foster children of our land have
been induced to settle. States that
but a few years ago were covered with
unbroken prairies and unsettled
wastes, now stand high in tho finan
cial nnd political world. No think
ing man can fail to see tbe sequence
of cause and effect.
The influx of immigration is great
er now than it has ever been in the
past. The class of immigrants is ns
good, and the great results that have
accompanied their settlement hereto
fore can with certainty bo predicted
of their location now.
Tbe South, during those years in
which the western and northwestern
States were being filled up nnd made
prosperous, has been busy with right
ing her own internal troubles—setting
in order her educational, political and
financial machinery. She 1ms bad no
time to devote attention to tbe great
movemeut going on in nil other sec
tions.
With her homo matters now regu-
lated or provided for, her public
schools erected nnd prospering, her
colleges filled with her sons nnd
daughters, her credits taking rank
nud prominence in tho markets, nnd
her manufacturing nnd mineral inter-
ets attracting tho attention of capi
talists and investors throughout tho
entiro Union, tbo South funis herself
i in a positiou to consider tho impor
tant question of immigration, and to
offer inducements to immigrants that
can bo presented by no other territo
ries.
Tho most intelligent of our people
have long anticipated this period in
our history, and all of tho Southern
purposes unexcelled in quantity and
quality. The climate of these States
is one of their chief attractions, ns is
evidenced by tho heavy business of
the passenger departments over their
railways. Thousands of tourists and
invalids, from the colder and damper
sections of the North and West, annu
ally make their w»y into the moun
tains and groves of the South. Nor
is tbe travel all during tbo winter
months; the mineral springs and sum
mer resorts of these States are world-
renowned, and justly regarded as
among tbe most attractive in the Un
ion.
If is a great mistake to regard this
section as a wild uninhabited territo
ry. The southern people are refined
and educated, and in many instances
possessed of great wealth. No coun
try is more generally peopled with
brave, sympathetic and hospitable in
habitants. Tbe immigrant will not
lack for congenial society, for schools,
for church and market facilities; por
will he have to dispute his possession
with the wild animnl and the wilder
Indian. Nature nnd intelligence have
combined to make the South the fin
est spot in our country for tLe immi
grant. And a tour of inspection
among her ore beds, her grand for
ests, nnd her great water-powers, will
convince the capitalist that she offers
to him an equally inviting field.

Correspondent Savannah Neat.
The lightning is playing lively
around Pleasants, Collector of Inter
nal Revenue nt Savannah. Some time
ago a special agent of the treasury
department went to Savannah to in
spect Pleasants’ office. Things were
not running satisfactorily. The gov-
eminent agent found at the outset,
among the assets of the office, a per
sonal note of Pleasants representing
$1,000, which had been taken from
government funds. Pleasants ex
plained that it was nil right. His
bond was good, be said, and when
cnlled on for a settlement the money
would be forthcoming. Tho special
agent was not satisfied, and, taking
tho noto with him, brought it to
Washington, nnd reported the matter
to Commissioner Rnnm.
Wilson, formerly Internal Revenue
Collector nt Savannah, was one of
those who strongly urged Pleasants’
nomination. He went to see Rnnm
in Pleasants’ behalf, ltaum said to
him:
“If I were yon, Mr. Wilson, and
wanted to protect my own reputation,
I would ask to have my name rubbed
off any indorsement of Pleasants.”
It is said that Pleasants' bond in
reality is not covered by more than
§800 worth of property when closely-
looked into. Farrow is credited with
having induced Bigby to approve tho
bond. Six hundred of the one thou
sand dollars represented by Pleasants’
personal noto*went to aid Atkins in
in his canvass for Congress.
It appears that the Georgia office
holders are here after the scalp of
Longstreet. Farrow is working for
Longstveet’s place, and, in tbo mean-
lime, to head of Wimberly in his
hunt for the Collectorship nt Bruns
wick. There is a split of what was
formerly known ns tho syndicate.—
Farrow, Bryant, A. N. Wilson, Pled
ger, nnd, it is said, Wnlter Johnson,
nre now trying to down Longstreet
and his influence with tbo adminis
tration. Atkins is credited with be
ing on the same lay.
