does not appear to be any elsewhere The
auctioneer strove in vain TO excite his au-
dience; they could not be made to see the
glorious opening for speculation, and only
fourteen acres were bid off at from $50
to 1920 per acre. In fact the Boutwell,
Petroleum swindle is played out, and In
common decency the Globe people having
made their pile out of it, should leave it
to its fate The readers of the Globe for
some months past must have imagined from
the numerous daily oil discoveries, and
new flowing wells reported in its columns
that Upper Canada foated on sea of
Petroleum, and the sure road to wealth
was to buy a quarter of IN acre at Both
we'll, and bore down to it. Mr.. Brown
has periodically let the Scotch company
consisting of Glasgow capitalists into this
good thing; and they in their turn are
anxious to distribute the blessing, but their
philanthropical intent is defeated by the
matter-offact people who think The oil
should be more in the wells and less in the
newspapers.

The Spirit of the South.

The eighth and last letter from the
South. which we give our readers to-day,
j. IMPORTANT, as in it the writer sums up
his experience. and gives the result of his
ob.ryations, in an extended tri p through
ne:rly Ill the Southern states. Agreeing
a !; ,oc~ with that Of other men who have
made similar tours Of observation, and
knowing full well, as we do, the large
heart. the discriminating mind and the
ho,efiI nature OF the writer, we cannot
but ie | gloomy when we think of tho tu
turc 81 the South. and the reconstruction
Of The late rebellous States as now going
forward.
Gen. Carl Schl.z has made an extended
visit through the Southern states as gov
crnm.llt commissioner. lie has returned
and reported 10 Congress. He says the
men at the South are generally submissive,
but not loyal and that now in many of
the Southern states the life of Il union
man l. not safe. The freedmen are treat
cd in many instances with actual atrocity.
IN whites acknowledge the legal death
OF slavery. but are determined to perpetu-
ate it in spirit Most Of the leading and
influential Southelners are as bitter rebels
towards the government to-day as before
Lees surrender.
Such is the character of the men who
are waiting about Washington to be adj
mitteI into Congress, to make laws for the
widows and orphans of the heroes who
were starved at AndersonviIle and BUTCH
erel AT Fort Pillow. 1t is inimated even
that some Of them will be admitted the
present session. Let a universal demand
90 up to the National Capital from the
loyal millions, that the doors be shut a.
gain,t these men until their loyalty is
proved. There should be no haste in this
reconstruction The life of the Nation
was saved at TOO great an expense to be
endangered again 'IIasten slowly" If
there ever was time when this saying
was applicable, that time would seem to
be now. in the reorganization of these
lately rebeiliouS states.

The Possible Republican Dirision,

Not only are there some republicans in
Congress who are ready TO break up the
party if it does not follow their lead
there are evidently Others. calling them
selves conservatives. who are perfectly
willing TO see. or TO help on such diviS-
ION. that they may have the opportunity
10 organize and lead a new administration
party. a significant article in the New
York Times of Friday seems to have been
inspired by this feeling. The writer. no.
ticing the interview of Mr.. Wilson of
Iowa with the president, saws that the
president showed no inclination to abandon
his reconstruction policy. but seemed fully
confident of its Success and
''What WAS still more astounding 70 Mr.
Wilson, he did not say one word TO inli-
cate his intention of allowing Mr.. Wilson
and his associates 10 use the patronage of
his office for the overthrow of his policy
and the permanent disruption of the In
ion. We venture to predict that ii will
be long time before any such assurance
will be obtained from the president. I.
Not one of the great states could have
been carried on any other platform than
that which approved his policy and pledg-
ed support TO his wise and patriotic efforts
to restore the Union. That policy is
gaining in strength and popularity every
day. MIR. Wilson and those who are act
ing with him may possibly thwart it for a
time, but they cannot interfere with IFS
final success. And if they should unhap-
PLY succeed in arraying against it the I'm
ion party, as represented in Congress. they
will simply compel the president to throw
himself upon the country, without distinc
ton of party, for support. Unless we
have greatly mistaken his character. he
will not shrink from the trial if forced
upon him. And unless we greatly mistake
the temper and spirit of the American
people, he will receive such a support os
has never been accorded to any chief mag
lStrate since Andrew Jackson"
This is defiant 1t is challenge and
threat. The editor of the Times is sup-
posed to hold confidential relations with
the president, but we must believe that in
this he speaks for himself, not for the pres
ident,-SprmafeM Republican.

4 Rebel Riot at Alexandria.

The negro haters both South and North,
have determined to so abuse the freedmen
that they will resist, and then the cry will
be a negro instruction, and the govern
ment will he called upon TO diSarm them

Your correspondent has been TO Alex

rious conflicting reports about the riot
there on Monday. which has been styled
a negro instruction. This is untrue. and
does great injustice to the freed people,
who behaved with great forbearance. The
rioters were undoubtedly returned rebel
soldiers who had evidently determined to
celebrate their peace Christmas by making
war on the ''niggers." and was assured
by reliable persons that many of these

forms. and We're armed with the revolvers

WhY Vermont Doesn't GrOaU.

We publish on the first page an article
from the New York Tribune on the pro-
ducts of Vermont, in which, after giving
the figures showing that our state is be-
hind none. and far ahead of most, in her
agricultural products, some surprise is
manifested that we do not increase in pop
ulation or if at all, so very little.
The late Senator Douglas once said that
Vermont was :. good state TO be born in
conveying the impression that if a young
man ever wanted to make mark in the
world he must emf crate at an early day, as
he did. \ more unjust iniputation upon
ones birthplace was never uttered. But
what is the result Of such teachings? 1t
Is this: ~ soon rs young man gets
his majority OF liberty, he turns his back
upon his native state. and seeks home
AMI fortune in some other section. While
this affects Vermont diSaStrousy. other
states receive the benefit of her depletion
A. result we find by the census of 1860.
over nineteen thousand Nermonters in the
single state of Wisconsin. over eighteen
thousand in Illinois, and forty-seven thou
sanl in New York. In short, there are
nearly two hundred thousand Vermonters,
out OF their native state, scattered from
Maine to Washington territory, and from
the head waters of the Mississippi to the
Gull of Mexico
We do not deny but there are induce
ments for the Young men of our state to
seek homes elsewhere Our climate j.
cold. our hills are steep, and many of
them have been exhausted by successive
crops with no adequate remuneration
And there are no large cities within our
limits, with their hustle of business life
anu 'ioueailu temptations, 10 allure our
young men, Those who seek a soil that
bears luxuriantly without toll, Or who de-
sire the excitement of business life in large
cities, must leave Vermont. Nevertheless
besides interesting statistics. there is much
good sense as we'll as food for reflection in
the article referred to on first page.

Gen. HOsCard's Report.

ATROCIOUS CONDUCT BY LATE REBELS.
Gen. o. o. Howard, the christian sol.
,lier, now at the heal of the Freedmen
Bureau, has made his report TO Congress
The report of an officer so high in position
and of such excellent character as Gen.
Howard, can be implicitly relied on.
In speaking OF this report contempo-
rary says it is remarkable and natural that
the State which was first in treason and
least determined in resistance to the Union
armies, should be most cruel TO the help

ports from the interior of South Carolina
''are replcte with instances of yiolelice and
cruelty toward the Observation-Disclosures.

From North Carolina the reports are
more favorable. No eases of violence are
related the freedmen are Industrious. and
there are more warrants among whites
than blacks. Out of $50. GOO blacks. hut
5000 are receiving aid from the govern

and orderly: few acts of cruelty are re-
ported. but rs Vet the freedmen have not

crops; but thus far not many actions OF
an oppressive nature are reported on the
part OF the old masters. From Mi>Si>Sip-
pl the accounts of the negroes are most
encouraging. as TO their industry. and en-
cry, and good conduct. and many con-
tracts have been made between the black
and their old masters. Col. Thomas. A.

In Louisiana there seems Il good deal of
