On aooount of tho many rumors afloat, cmwawilng fills distlngui.-'lii-il statesman, we feel oalle'l upon as his friend and admirer to set him right before tho peojde, whom lio loves, even wltli a blind Idolltry —tho Southern men and women. A Washington correspondent of some iiwignitli'Wit lUeiionl sheet in Connecticut has represented him, as counseling and encouraging General Grant in tho policy lie Ims pursued towards' Louisiana. We knew when wo read this vile slan der that it was an attempt upon the part of the ltadicals to give some de gree of resiioetahillty to the conduct of the Chief Magistracy of tho Gov ernment by coupling tho name of Alexander H. Stephens with this out rageous proceeding. While it is true that Mr. Stephens admires General Grant as a man, lie attributes all flic trouble that has befallen the South, to the Radieal Congress, which pass ed laws for Grant to carry out. Asa sworn officer of the Government, Grant has carried out these laws, and our complaint is not as mnch against Grant as the men who made the law for him to carry out. In this Louisiana quest km, how ever, Grant is not required to carry out auy law; nor lias any law been passed in reference to suell a state of affairs as now exists in Louisiana. We now condemn and arraign Grant be fore the American people as u usurp er and an oppressor. From all wo can learn or hear of Mr. Stephens, lie simply endorsed Grant heretofore as a man who car ried out the laws lie was sworn to support, and did not in any way, shape or form endorse tho Radical party, or Grant as ail exponent of that iirty. He only accorded to Grant, more bruins, than we of the South usually credited him with. Now that. Mr. Stephens is satisfied lie has brains, lie must, ass constitu tional lawyer, and an advocate of bis plundered and maligned people, re gard Grant us not only having brains, but as an infamous instru ment iu tlie hands of ids party. That Mr. Stephens does this, we have not a doubt, for his .“so-called” infatuation of Grant,only extended to him before this crowning infamy. We always differed with Mr. Steph ens in his estimation of Grant, but j we thought he had a right to deter-! mine and express his app: .;..i tion of a mun, be lie It.. or Democrat. In no lias Mr Stephen - uple id the Radical party or Grant us .-an -• ■ it' the edicts of the party but hi- a;- pluuse has extended to Q son. That he will heartily diapi .ve and utterly condemn the p- I>ry of Grant in tills Louisiana •luestio.i. there can be no question. Stcplv a eould not, nor would not so far forget himself and his people as to Buiicti-m, aid or abet such policy towards us. Then, until he declares himself one, way or tho other, we think it unfair ill the press and tlie people to pre judge him. Watt until lie speaks, be fore you put miy reliance in tlie idle gossip of newspaper reporters, who will give, as a rule, auy.report that is sensational, Or Hint 'tends to lend re spectability to their party. M lull Pillion UHiiulnrlorif. urc lleoi; Xtortli mill smith. The Boston Cinmnen-'uil Jialletin, under its regular head of “Hemi . Annual Dividends,” says : “Manu- F faeturiag dividends are not very Hat - taring. * * * The Atlantic, Clinton and Waunibaek pay, while the Bates, Continental, Dwight, Great Tails, Newmarket, Salisbury and Washing ton (mss tlieir dividends. The Frank lin has reduced from I to 2 per cent., Hill 5 to 1 per cent., Middlesex N to f. per cent., and Naumkeag 1 to a.” When wo sec t lint Augusta and Granltoville have paid their semi annual dividend, and now the Eagle and Plienlx in this morning,s Issue advertises its regular dividends amounting to 10 per cent on its eapital stock we can hut feel these practical arguments must show tlie dawn of anew era to the South. Hero in our town, beyond the im mense amount paid annually in wa ges to a large mill population, the payments of such sums as $125,000 (one hundred and twenty-five thou sand dollars) in dividends can but enhance the pride we feel in our lib eral corporations. Fostering these enterprises is tho greatest duty out people owe themselves. Wo know the coming years must bring some accumulation of money to our citi zens. Fut it in factories, is our ad vice to all such capitalists. Tho South is, par excellence, the si>ot for cotton mills. Wo should and will spin all wo produce. Nimlliorn rai'lilr.

I will uot write you of the stirring debates which have marked their sessions, as the telegraph will forestall any tiling I evuid -end by mail. Xla- greatest indignation permeates every class of. society, and people Who never felt a sympathy for tlie South before are: bringing this last crowing outrage j home. If it can occur in Louisiana, why not in New York or Ohio ? With j this light upon a spectacle, at wldeli indignation pales, the worst of them denounce Butler, Edmunds and Sher idan and their inhuman phms. SHERIDAN must ever stand with the American people as the sitm o( all that is Inn tut, false, eontemptibleand cowardly, j Accepting l-’red Grant upon his stuff: as a Colonel over veterans and sol diers, a proposition which was reject ed by Geu. Sherman, he became a favorite with the President, His ca reer has boon marked by arson, mur der and pjuuder. Ho has been sent to Louisiana, and tlie telegrams will tell you before this is received that lie enjoys tlie confhb'nce of the Ad- ! ministration, In other words his! powers are’confined only by Ills own discretion, and the pestilence that walketh In ilnt-ktiußs or tin ilestru • tion 111 nt vVifstctii at noonday, will pale in compai-ison with this man’s deeds in execution of Grant’s iustruc- \ tions, which may bo briefly summed ! up.

In volcanic j regions the moss and grass.of a brief | respite scarcely hide the evidences of tite last shock before the threatening ■ rumbling of another ruinous visita tion is heard. SO WJTH TITK SOUTH. The cheering glow of peace and j quiet lias occasionally illuminated J the political horizon, but Presidential j proclamations have invariably fol lowed to throw everything back to the pristine state of reconstruction | confusion. Yow will remember that j the synopsis of the President’s mes sage iu regard to, Cuba, which was tSolegrnphed all ofer the world, was' not sustained by the document itself. 1 It is hardly denied that the first re port was the President’s position at the time, from which he afterwards ceded. It is just us generally believed j that Sheridan’s mission to Louisiana embraced n movement looking to GRANT AS DICTATOR. This drunkard of ante-Mhiiii times i and of the present: the failure at Shi loh. and the conqueror by brute force and Confederate exhaustion at Vicks burg ; has yet to learn that the info- j mios of liis Administration will live after his countrymen have in merey forgotten liis very mime. While the j Executive is learning tills lesson, the I North must learn another. In the great clamor for financial reform, tho j only true plan is not thought of. Abandon the pilley which has par alyzed tho MATERIAL INTERESTS OF THE SOUTH, or It will hang as a destructive weight to tin- North, us the body of the dead Siamese Twill was to Its wasting link. Rehabilitate the South. Now, our vast-and rich territory, instead of oontriintting to the pntdie credit, Is made under Radical enrpet-bng gov ernment to swell the public debt, and all the sources of eontrlbutive pros perity arc Idle from u want of com mon sense und common honesty. YVh'-n the North recognizes that Southern bone and sinew and brains und streams and valleys and mines, are as essential to the common wel fare of the country as is Northern eapital, thert will come returning rea son and justice and peace and happi ness- things we do not meet with under the present regime.
