SOUTHERN LIFE FAITHFULLY PHoroGRAPuEp-
Some two or three months ago we despatched
several faithful reporters to different sec
tons Of the country. They were instruct
ed to inquire into the effect upon
the public mind Of the John Brown raid, the
Helper Book, Stewards irreprsssible conflict
speech, and other demonstrations of the aboli-
ton party. The most important portion of
this duty fell to our reporters who were sent
into the slave States, and as part of the result
Of their investigations, we gave yesterday some
exceedingly plain, straightfor ward, unpreten-
dous descriptions of slavery as it absolutely
exists in the extreme South. Our reporter de-
scfbes q slave sale at Montgomery ia quite a
different vein from that affected by the abo-
iition writers, and his picture of life upon a
great plantation is more interesting from the
tact that it is simple statement OF facts,
without any attempt at rhetorical flourish or
coloriDg, either for or against the peculiar in-
stitution. We do not remember to have seen

upon as the preliminary skirmishes Of the great

have some influence upon the neral Of the re-

connoissance Of the currents Of public opinion
in the far North, the nursery and hotbed Of the
abolition theories that have taken 80 strong
hold upon the black republican party. Several
causes, running through the Know Nothing
mania of 1885, and eliminating in
the Kansas excitement Of 1856, had
thrown the popular mind in New England off
Its balance, and given it over a prey to the
abstract sophistries of school Of impractical
BILE philosophers and the bediamite rawlings of
practical abolitionists. New England au-
diences had accustomed themselves to listen
to the empty ncthipgs of Emerson, and the
brilliant fallaces Of Theodore Parker, and to
applaud the ribald abuse of the Union, The

IL print before 60 dispassionate aud candid a
description Of Southern life, as it really is as
that furnished by our reporter. Stripped of
the cant Of the abolitionists, slavery loses one
half its horrors in social point Of view. and
we find, when the facts are presented, how
vilely the South has been misrepresented
at the North. II may be that good will grow
out of this agitation, after all. The time must
come when the traders of the North will learn
little common sense, as far as their Southern
customers are concerned; and all the light
they can get in the meantime hastens that very

ANOTHER GOLD SpooN INVESTIGATION IN Con-

busy getting up an investigation into the af-
fairs of the administration, for want of some
more formidable weapon Of assault upon the
government. This is only borrowing from the
old gold spoon Ogle investigation which was
tried in Van Buren's time, when Mr.. Ogle, of
Pennsylvania, created great excitement about
the White House being furnished with gold
spoons, damask draperies, and so forth, at the
peoples expense. In recurring to this ancient
dodge, however the republicans will fnd that
they have taken the wrong track. They will

tropolis is carried on by the corrupt lobby, and
its masters, the spectators in all kinds of no.
ney making jobs. The city railroads now in
actual operation are worth not less than ten
millions of dollars, and the seven roads just
reported in the Senate, which include the
Broadway railroad, will be worth fully twenty
millions more. The tracks for all these roads
can be laid down and the cars and horses pur-
chased for about two millions, thus leaving a
profit of eighteen millions; and this sum is to
be divided among the lobby and their friends
in Office and some forty private indivi-
dua!s, instead Of going into the city treasu-
ry, where it properly belongs. This large
amount would nearly pay off the entire debt
of the city, including the liabilities incurred
for the introduction Of Croton water and the
construction Of the Central Park. It would
build and keep in repair all the stone piers
required on both rivers. 1t would be sufficient
to give us the most magnificent parks in the
world; and yet every dollar of 1t is about to
be handed over to these three hundred indivi-
duals, many of whom will be found to be
agents and brokers of George Law.
Thus this small class, by corrupting the Legis-
lature and applying other agencies, is endea-
voripg to obtain control Of the railroads and
ferries Of the city, to create gigantic monopoly
of the internal travel by land and water, to
which the millions of people who inhabit the
metropolis and its environs must submit their
comfort and convenience. If these railroad
schemes succeed-and with such an amount as
eighteen millions clear profit to work the lobby
with, what is to prevent them we shall have
to ride just as these forty incorporators may
dictate-to be subjected to all such inconve-
Dienoe and suffering as they may choose to i'm
pose upon us-and by and by, in order to get
into the cars at all, we shall have to learn some
cabalistic password like that of another famous
"forty" whom we read of in the Arabian
Nights-"open Sesame"
No one, we presume, doubts the necessity of
more city railroads. It is an excellent idea to
facilitate the now cramped means Of travel, and
to open up the avenues leading to the Central
Park but it is monstrous that the franchises
Of these projected roads, which belong to the
city and are worth millions of dollars, should
be given away to few individuals
