He has opined t ho f the people of the North to ti e i true condition of affairs, social, poli i- cul and material, in this section, and has disabused the minds of many of the false and prejudiced ideas which they bad imbibed through the teachings of their own reckless, tinscrupiilous partisan journals. j Among other things and what will j undoubtedly redound more to on r benefit than anything else, dolone! , McClure | J;18 d lr cetod the attention of J t))( . of the No) them press linfl IM , oplw to ,} )(J vast resources j this section which arc now ready for development, and which must, in the near future, give us the lead in mate- rial progress and wealth. lie has shown that the South has rare facilities for the economical production of both raw materia! and manufactured arti. c!< h of many kinds; that it has great stores of mineral wealth which have been scarcely touched as yet while mill sited and v ater power which can readily bo made available, abound and all this in a section where n r climate difficulties will be mot with to obstruct and hamper munufucturiugenterpii oi. The Textile Record of Philadelphia, which is the leaking journal in the country, devoted to interests of the manufacturers of textile mate rials, has been much impres ed with Colonel McOturo’s statements and the result of his observations while on his South ern tour. Iu its lost Issue, this paper, under the Ramo caplion with which we bead this article, comments, at some length, upon the future prospects of the South. These prospects it regards as moat promising, and it makes the prediction tlmt our prosperity, which is now dawning, will soon break forth m full light. After commenting in detail upon our resources, it says, and its remarks are worth consideration; “Up to within a few years, and to considerable extent even y it, the great hindrance to the development of Southern industries has been the want of means of transportation. Of wlmt avail was itthnt cotton could be car- ried directTroin the Ipu to the mill, and woven iuto cloth by cheap labor, ussi t d by still cheaper power, with¬ out the expense of long freight routes and numerous handlings, when the product could reach a market only af¬ ter days of expensive hauling by mule teams on difficult roads ? But this is fast being changed. The development of the Southern railroad system is progressing with rapidity, and many parts of tho South are now iu ready communication with the seaboard, which a few years ago were as com¬ pletely shut off from it as wore Pitts¬ burg and Buffalo a hundred years ago, Tho dawn of Southern prosperity has begun, and it does not require au over-snnguiuo faith to believe that its agriculture, manufactures and com¬ merce will, in the near future, nearly or quite equ d those of tlm North.” Judge Woods and the Railroad Commission. Judge Woods rendered his decision on (he Oth iu the case of George H. Tilley against the Savannah, Flor¬ ida and Western railroad company, and James M. Smith aud others, of the railroad commission. In the course of his remarks he says: “The not of the Legislature if eou- stitutioual nniy bo considered unwise or even oppressive, but even if it is the remedy is not with this court, tint with | the Legislature. If tho general assem- j l,ly iu its passage were acting within the scope of its constitutional power, j no matter how cruel aud unjust the h,w uiay be the court cannot apply the | , remedy. ] There is nothing in the nefc com¬ I plained of which indicates a disposition j on tho part of the L •gist: t ire t * op ; pose the railroad companies.

State, etc., etc., is not iu violation of j either the constitution of the United { ! States or of tho State of Georgia; that under the , constitution . of Georgia _ . pow- , er and autlwrity is conferred on the i legislature to pass laws to regulate \ freight and passenger ^ariffs ou rnii- roads and require reasonable and just rate*, and it is its dnty, to p iss such laws, that it may prescribe such rates, either directly or through the inter" ventiou of a commission, and that the question whether lh rates Dre scibecl *'7 the , _ legislature, . either , direct- ,, .

It is not the unexpected that lias happened The suppression of free speech, arrests without bail, the darkening of the land with spies and soldiers, coercion, the blow before the remedy—all these are inevitable.

If they are silenced others will leap to fid the vacant places. Ireland cries lor jus¬ tice. The land league is her voice. England must build more jails before that voice can be stifled. To the out- rage upon the people’s representatives, to the attempt to place Ireland on her knees to beat and scourge her before righting her wrong3, to the arrest of the brave Michael Davitt, Jet America answer in protest. As the bonfire flamed upon all the hilsl in that olden time when the edict went forth, so now in every American city let the tire of your indignation blaze. Cal] public meetings everywhere at once.
