France seems much more anxious, now
that England has as much as she can do
Watching Russia, to get up an Egyptian
difficulty than she was to take a hand in
the Egyptian difficult a few years ago,
When she left England to fight atone for the
tights of the French as well as British
bondholders.
It seems that the dynamiters were not ac
countable for the last London explosion.
The belief now is that it was caused by spon
taneous ignition of a specimen torpedo ex
plosive which had been sent to the Admiral
ty office for inspection. So perhaps the
devil is not as black as he is painted after
811.
Declinations from the “hungry South

Governor Bloxham, of Florida, has also de
clined with thanks the mission to Bolivia,
t-ecently tendered him. This makes five
Southern gentlemen who have voluntarily
given up Federal positions. Our Radical

The Railway Age predicts a year of un
precedented disaster to railroad property
ill the country. The receiver is becoming
a part of the fixtures of the American rail
road, and the figures are startling. Last
year 37 roads were sent to receiverships
amounting to $715,000,000 in capital stock.
This year the first three months show that
20 roads have failed, aggregating in value
$275,000,000. The trouble is caused by the
building of roads before they are actually
needed in the country. The property must
iepreciate until their territory grows up to
lhem. The outlook is discouraging to rail
load builders and to stockholders, and car
ries a ringing appeal against hostile legisla
lion, State or national.
A keen observer of life writes that the
laws in Texas are rigidly and promptly ex
ecuted. He relates as an illustration of
Speedy justice that a man was tried for lar
ceny, found guilty and his punishment fixed
at forty His lawyer moving for a
hew trial, the Judge said he would hear the
motion after dinner. He adjourned the
Court, and after dinner, when the Court
Convened, the lawyer began his argument
for a new trial, and had got partly started
When his client, who was just behind him,
pulled his coat tail. He did not notice him
at first, but after two or three pulls he
turned round and said, “What do you
Want?” “I don’t want a new trial,” said
he, "for while you was gone to dinner the
Sheriff took me out and whipped me. I
tell you, ’Squire, he done whipped me.”
Mexico is looming up as a cotton pro
ducer, but the great drawbacks to a success
ful cultivation of the staple has been lack of
transportation, and caterpillars which are
more troublesome the further south one goes.
The New Orleans Times Democrat, however,
thinks that these difficulties will be speedily
overcome, and says: “The construction of
railroads in Mexico will allow the staple to
be carried to market and the manufacturing
Cities of Leon and Puebla at a little cost;
While the introduction of American agricul
tural machinery and of new and progressive
ideas, and the travel of Mexicans in this
country, will show them how to overcome
the worms, which have proved such a blight
to the crop. With these lessons learned and
railroads built, may we not expect Mexico
to follow in the footsteps of Brazil, India
and Egypt, and become somewhat of a rival

the SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES: MONDAY APRIL 27, 1885.
MAGNANIMITY NORTH AND SOUTH.
The country has enjoyed an excellent op
portunity recently to compare the prevail
ing characteristics of the people of the
North with those of the South, and we are
glad to say the verdict must necessarily be
in favor of the latter.
Within the past few weeks two distin
guished Americans have been reported as
seriously sick. One of them was General
Grant and the other ex-President Davis.
As soon as it was announced that Grant
was dying of a terribly loathsome
and painful disease, the Southern press,
people and ex-soldiers, true to
the chivalry of their nature, and their old
cavalier parentage, made haste to express
sympathy for him in his sufferings. The
Southern press generally manifested a fel
low feeling for a human being who, it was
believed, was slowly choking to death, while
resolutions of sympathy were adopted by
Southern soldiers, and forwarded to the
bedside of the patient to console him and
his family in their hour of sorrow. But
what was the case with Hon. Jefferson
Davis ? Fortunately his attack was greatly
exaggerated, and his friends have
cause to hope that he will be in
the land of the Hying for many years to
come. Still it was stated and believed for a
time that the distinguished American
Statesman and soldier was lying on his bed
of death and that the last hours of 2his
memorable and eventful life were drawing
to a close. During all this period, however,
did a word of sympathy for him or his
family escape either the Northern
press, people or soldiers? Not one, so far
as we have seen, but the nearest approach
to chivalry, oreven common humanity,
that was shown was that the venomous
Radical press ceased, for the moment, their
accustomed vile slanders and villifications of
a character too exalted to come within the
range of their appreciation.
This is all the less excusable when the
courses of the Ex-President and Gen
eral Grant towards the sections to
which they were respectively opposed
during the war are considered. Mr.
Davis never did the North any special harm
lie sacrificed his large personal fortune on the
altar of Southern independence, but beyond
standing up in the tented field like a man be
fore his enemies, he never showed any ma
lignity towards that section. l*f was, how
ever, entirely different with Grant. The
Southern people never disliked him for the
part he played in the war, for
he fvas fighting on his side,
and the South respected him for upholding
the cause which he had espoused to the best
of his ability. But when the war was over ;
when the South had, after a glorious and
memorable struggle, yielded up the un
equal contest, and when there was no
longer any dreaded foe in the field, he, in
stead of showing himself a magnanimous
leader of the victorious side, gave vent to
all the littleness of his character, and en
deavored in every way to bully, brow-beat
and oppress his late enemies. Truly the
South had far more just cause to hate Grant
than the North had to hate Mr. Davis; yet
notwithstanding this, when the South heard
that Grant was in a dying condition, she
forgot all her animosity, and lived up
strictly to the noble principle “de mortuis
nil nisi bonum.” How different this from
the spirit of puritanical bigotry which could
not forget malignity even in the presence of
supposed death.
It would be unjust to charge this
narrowminded malignity to the whole
North, for there are many excellent people
in that section. Still it is certainly the pre
vailing characteristic there,. and is a little
leaven which has leavened the whole lump.lt
really makes very little difference however ;
to the South, that the North still persists
in venting her spleen against the cld
Southern leaders, thereby proving that the
spirit of sectionalism is still slive. But it
is peculiarly gratifying to see
that the South is able to
rise above her just animosities,
and that she has not altogether lost that re
putation for generosity and chivalry for
which she was formerly so pre-eminently
distinguished. The hard, selfish, money
loving age in which we live have done
much to crush this noble trait, but the seed
still remains in the soil, and, with future
prosperity and wealth, perhaps will bring
forth abundant fruit, making the new South
in this respect at least, something like her
own old self.

The Charleston News and Courier says ;
“The Savannah Times chides the News
and Courier for thinking that the Russian
mission should be tendered to a South Caro
linian on the score of the political services of
South Carolina. It thinks that this argu
ment will not avail with the present Presi
dent, with whom fitness seems to be the main
thing in determining appointments. Very
well. The Times will hardly venture to
say that there is not as much fitness for this
thing, and for any other thing, in
South Carolina as in Georgia.”
We hasten to assure our contemporary that
the Times has never had the slightest in
tention of casting any reflection whatever
upon the fitness of the statesmen of South
Carolina to fill any public position. The
only point we make is that it is competency
and ability, and not geographical position,
which determines the President in making
his appointments. In other words that he
will not be likely to tender the Russian
mission to a South Carolinian simply because
he is from South Carolina.

MEMORIAL DA Y.
This is the day which has been set apart
lor keeping fresh and green the memories of
the gallant men of the South who offered up
their lives on the altar of Southern inde
pendence in a cause they believed to be sacred.
It is a beautiful custom, and one which
should never be permitted to fall into dis
use. Our Southern heroes have no rich and
victorious government behind them to pro
vide for them while living or to pay them
homage when dead. But all honor
to our warm-hearted, noble South
ern ladies, the first to feel the dictates
of humanity and love, who have insti
tuted the custom of keeping alive the names
of Southern defenders and preserving from
oblivion the remembrances of their daring
gallantry in the defence of principles dearer
to them than life itself.
To-day, then, the cemeteries in which
repose the remtdns of the dead heroes of a
lost cause will be visited by thousands of
people who with loving hands and gentle
hearts will make bright and fresh with
beautiful flowers —fit emblems of the resur
rection—the graves of those who died for the
South. Though nearly a quarter of a cen
tury has elapsed since they offered their liv
ing bodies as a bulwark between their homes
and the invader, this practice of paying re
spect to them and their noble self-sacrifice is
observed with as much zeal and affectionate
interest as if their deaths had occurred but
yesterday. May it be a practice which will
never die, but may its observance be handed
down from generation to generation until
the future sons and daughters of the So uth
shall come to look upon it as a sacred duty
to be performed by them even until time
hall be no longer.
“Their hones are dust,
Their good swords rust,
Their souls are with the saints, we trust.”
But be it ours and our children’s and grand
children’s throughout the ages to come to see
that due and proper respect is paid their
memory, and that their deeds and sacrifices
be handed down to the emulation and admi
ration of Southern youth to the remotest
generation.
The dull season has set in in earnest in
Washington. Indeed so flat, stale and un
profitable is everything there that there is
nothing for any one, not an office seeker, to
talk about except that the President has a
new team of fine horses.
