The Richmond Dispated says that few persons
are aware of all that immigration has accomplished
for the West, and, indeed, for the United States
in general. Without that fertlizing addition to
our population, the West would be now wilder
ness and the United States fourth-rate power.
This assertion is not made at random. 1t has
been shown in able statistical treatise that the
difference in the population of the United States
produced by immigration is 12,432, loO. If i'm
migration had been cut of in 1870 our population
would have been in 1850 what it was in 1920. 1t
has, in fact, placed the nited States thirty years
forward in that essential element of prosperity.
Hitherto, owing to the ignorance in Europe of the
extraordinary resources of the South and the sys-
fem Of slave labor, this vast stream Of immigra-
tion has only scattered few drops within our
borders. Census returns show that six out of
seven emigrants from Europe have settled in the
free States.

The New York Herald, in speaking of some of
the late conversions to the Presidents policy,
and aludng to the fact of many of the leading
Republicans having lately come entirely over on
a sober second thought, thus comments:
esTo read the papers of the last two or three
days one would suppose President Johnson had
no opponents exec ept few crazy fanatics in Con-
gress who ought to be in an asylum. These po-
litical gyrations, all within such short space of
time, are very comical spectacle. They show
clearly the strength and impregnable position of
the President, and that each and all of the old
decaying parties and partisans endeavoring
TO cling to him to save themselves. He can look
calmly on and smi lie at these Jim Crow wheelings
and turnings of expiring factions, for he is the
nucleus around which the new constitutional par
ty will form and cry stalize''

IF ONE should give me a dish of sand and
tell me there were particles of iron in it,
might look for them with my eyes and search
for them with my clumsy fingers, and be unable
to detect them; but let NE take magn ct and
sweep through it, and how it would draw to
itself the most invisible PARTICLES by the mere
power of attraction! The unthankful heart,
like my finger in the sand, discovers no
merees but let the thankful heart sweep
through the day-as the magnet finds the iron
so will it find in every hour some heavenly
blessings; only the iron in Gods sand is
gold.-O " Holaaes.

Mr.. STEVENS PosITIoN.-Th Throughout the whole
of the late war, when the rebels had entire pos

CAN HAVE A PRESIDENT, BUT NOT CoxGREssMEN.
The Radicals, or malignant majority in Congress,
do not consider the Southern, or late Confederate
States, as entitled to be represented in that body
At the same time they recognize citizen of those
States as President of the United States and Com
mander in Chief of the Army and Navy. They
can have President, but no members of Con-
gress. Here is a nice distinction.-Cm. Enqui-

The Jacket Of Grey.
sr xas. G. A. BALL

DY MRS. G. A. BALL.
Fold it up carefully, lay it aside,
Tenderly touch 1t, look on it with pride
For dear must it be to our hearts evermore
The jacket of grey our loyd soldiers wore.
Can we ever forget when he joined the brave baud
Who rose in defence of our dear Southern land,
And, in his bright youth, hurried on to the fray.
How proudly he donned il, the jack ct of grey!
His fond mother blessed him, and looked up above.
Commenting to Heaven the child of her love;
What anguish was hers, mortal tongue may not say.
When he passed from sight in the jacket of grey
But her country had called and she would repins
Though costly ths sacrifice placed on it's shrine;
Her hearts dearest hopes its altar she lay,
When she sent out her boy, in the jacket of grey.
Months passed. and wars thuuders rolled over ths
land.
Unsh eathed was the sword, and lighted the brandt
We heard in the distance the sound of the fray,
And prayed for our boy in the jacket of grey.
All! vain, al, all, were prayers and our tears;
The glad shout of victory rang in ears;
But our treasured one on the red battle field lay,
While the lifeblood oozad out tie jacket of grey
His young comrades found him, and tenderly bore
The cold lifeless form to his home on the shore;
Oh dark were our hearts on thac terrlDIe Gay,
When we saw our dead boy in <he jacket of grey.
All! spotted and tattered and stained now with gore.
Was the garment which once he SO proudly wore
We BIZ tesiy wept IS We took it away.
And replaced w.b Deaths white ro5es he jssSs. v
grey.
We laid him to rest In his cold, narrow bed,
And grieved DER the marble placed oer bis head,
As the proudest of tributes sad hearts could pap
He never disgraced the jacket of grey"
Then fold it up carefully. lay it aside,
Teuderly touch it, look on it with prtde--
For dear must it be to our hearts evermors.

Honor to our Workmen.

Honor to our Workmen.
Whom shall we call ou heroes,
To whom our praises sing
The pampered child of fortune.
The titled lord or king?
] hey live by 9th ers' labor,
Take all and nothing give;
The n1blest types of manhood
Are they who work to live.
Then honor to our workmen,
Our hardy sons of toll
The heroes of the workshop,
- And monarchs of the soil
Who spans the earth with iron,
And rears the palace dome?
Who creates for the rich man
The comforts of his home?
Itis the patient toiler-
All honor to i'm, them
The true wealth Of nation
Is in her working men.
For many barren ages
Earth hid her treasures deep,
And all her giani forces
Seemed bound as in a sleep;
Then Labor's 'sanvil chorus" ~
Broke on the startled air,
And 10 the earth in rapture
Laid all her riches bare!
IT'S toll that over nature
Gives man his proud control;
And purifies and hallows
The temples of his soul.
1t scatters foul diseases,
With all the gbast!y train,
Puts iron in the muscle,
And crystal in the brain!
The Grand, Almighty Builder,
Who fashi oned out the earth,
Hath stamped his seal Of honor
On labor from her birth.
In every angel flower,
That blossoms from the sod,
Behold the master touches,
The han diwork Of God
Then honor to our W orkm men,
Our hardy S ms oftoil-
The heroes of the workshop,
And mon archs of the soii!
