THE following eloquent remarks on the re-
cuperation of the South, after peace, by Hon.
Frederick A. Conklin, are worthy of note:
How then is the industry of the South to
be built up? | answer, by immigration.
No sooner will the national flag be unfurled
in the South, than millions from both the
North and from Europe, who have shun-
ned her slave trodden fields. as they would
the shade of the Bohan upas, will rush to
occupy her deserted but enfranchised lands,
and will develop her resources as they never
were developed before. Even the blasted
wastes of slavery, revived by the torch Of
liberty, will again be made to blossom as the
rose. The first year of peace, in all human
probability will witness the accession of a
million of freemen to the population Of the
South, bringing with them, at once, the econ-
omies. the improved processes and greater
producing powers of intelligent labor. Be-
fore two years shall have elapsed, it is safe to
predict that America viii resume her former
supremacy in the cotton market of the world,
never more to be deprived of it."

TOSSING UP THE SPoNGE.-Col. Grace of
Arkansas lately made a speech at memphis
in which he said:
I am the man who drew up tie Ordinance

Union for nearly four years, but now l am
conquered and whipped man. Laugh
ter. As was gallant in going out to fight
l now propose to be gallant in surrendering
and submitting to the arms of the Govern
ment. Let us have respect for the Govern
ment WE cannot whip. Laughter. Ihave
no contempt for Federal authority now, if
ever had. do not think there is manly
bosom in the South but has higher respect
for Northern gallantry than when he went
into the fight The authorities tell US to come
back and reconstruct the Union; that they
will give us honorable terms. Do YOU
think that people as brave as the North
are going to risk their reputation in a
war to turn around after we had dispersed
our armies and give us anything but honor.
able terms? There may be some men. in the
North who may think that the South had a
hand in the death of our late lamented Pres
ident, but know that the people of the
South mourn over his death and feel that
they have lost friend When had an in
terview with the President his heart seemed
to be overfowing with love toward the
Southern people.
1t is to such manly fellows as Colonel
Grace that the amnesty properly applies
Carson Appeal.
Yes in the above is the first cropping of
genuine chivalry that we have seen in an
officer of the rebellion so high in rank. Take
the loud mouthed leaders who inaugurated
the rebellion, boil them down and concen-
trate every sentiment in their g makeup"
and the sum total would come as short of
the amount enunciated by Col Grace, as
would drop of water in making up Lake
Tahoe.

Long Hairs and Short Hairs.

The above caption is supposed to be the
titles of the two wings of the Union party
right and left wings-not like the wings OF
great army in the field, each working and
fighting to protect the other, but very Ike
family divided into two factions, each study
ing to injure the other, but giving no
thought for the interest of the whole.
| 1t is proverbial and most true, that family
| quarrels are the most persistent and destruc-
| tive of any; it is equally true that the END
| is ruin to both" the house divided must
fall" Conceding this, it is suicide to take
the first step. 1t is equally true that there
| are MANY Offices to fill, both of honor and
emolument, and that's what's the matter"
There is patriotism in self denial, there Is
devotion and love in him who would sink
his selfish aims and philanthropically devote
! himself to the cause. The politician that
| fails so to act has but short career. Ihe
selfshness predominant in his composition,
becomes palpable to the masses, and like
Latham, he finds political grave with
headstone bare of epitaph for when the
people concluded to bury him, they found so
much of the Objectionable matter in his past,
that they could not find it in their hearts to
give him credit for one good act, and even
when forced to acknowledge that measure
of his had been beneficial to the State, they
would only credit it on the ground that he
made more out of it than did the State. Are
the leaders of the two present factions made
up of the same material? If so, the people
had better be rid of them at once, and
take up men who are not only loyal to
the country, but to the aohole Union party.
If we know ourself no leader of long hair
or of short hair shall have our vote. If none
other than such present himself, why then
we will continue to discharge our duty in
urging what we believe to be right.
In this factious movement there is no prin-
ciple involved; it is simply a question of
spoils -ofice-the leaders to take the high
est, and from thence dispense crumbs among
those who boosted. Get out its too dirty
too democratic to suit our taste. Let your
acts conform to the name of the party you
would represent, and we are with you.

"A BEUHDER.+The news Of the assassination

ouslylwith the arriyalof Mr.. Newell, editor of

fixed up programme to welcome Mr.. Newell

and circumstance" as token of esteem for the
services rendered by that gentleman in SECURING
the location of the Branch Mint at Dallesl On
the arrival of the boat, which brought Mr. N.
and the sad tidings of the assassination of Mr..
Lincoln, the celebration foriNewell commenced.
The streets were paraded and the reports of
booming guns manifested the uncomfortable joy
of the populace. This rejoicing was Kept up for
about 80 minutes, when further proceedings
were cut short by announcement OF Lincoln s
assassination. 1t seems a.lttle strange that it
took half an hour for the news of the murder to
spread through the little toYnrof Dalles but it
must have been so, for 1t would be uncharitable
to supposeithe people of that place could not re-
press their. hilarity over the Branch Mint mat

spect for the loss Of the Chief Magistrate of the
nation. ~
