Not " True to the South.o

The Senior of the Sentinel having com
planned that j. J. Guthrie, Jr, Esq, of the
Progress, Agent of the Associated Press, had
not sent to him copy of the Presidents
Message as promptly as he expected it, Mr..
Guthrie, after explaining the matter salts
factorily, makes this ten strike" at the Sc
niOr aforesaid:
"Sincethe Editor of the Sentinel is pleased
to couple the name of the Progress with that
of the Standard, will remind him for his
sake and the information of the public, that
l, my brother and father, sacrificed good
prospects in Washington, to battle in the
cause of Southern independence, and all
three of us were in the military service, when
he was engaged, during the existence of the
Confederacy, writing articles hostile to the
cause of the South, for the editorial columns
of the Raleigh Standard"
Every word of the above is true: MI. Pell
was as hostile to the cause of the South
as he could be, up to the fall of 1868. This
charge upon the Senior is, ias he would say,
especially damaging. The Senior does not
care how many fibs are told upon him; but
the truth, as in this case, is more than he can
bear.
Mr.. Pool was defeated, according to the
Sentinel, because he embarrassed the Con-
federacy' in 1854. Mr.. Pell did the same
thing in 1868, and the Progress has charged
the fact upon him. Mr.. Pell is not true to
the South" He is simply an impostor. He
ought not to enjoy any favors at the hands
of this true blue Southern rights Legislature
Let him act honestly in this business by re
signing his State Partnership and retiring tc
private life. 1t is clear that he obtained the
office by false pretences, as this Legislature
is too true to the South" to have elected
any one knowingly, who was hostile to the
cause of the South" during the rebellion.

PosT OFFICE Routes OF THE SOUTH
The net postal receipts from the late insur-
gent States for the year ended 3Oth June last,
were only $75, 1888 less than the liabilities for
the mail service in that section. This is a
small deficit. Previously to the war the pos
tai service in many of the Southern States
was an expense to the government The
postal service in the South ought to be in
creased.

We predicted that the Presidents message
would disappoint the tire-eaters of the South.
Their organs bestow doubtful compliments
upon it, and some of them receive it with an
"unmistakable" sneer.
The Wilmington Dispatch says:
As far as he goes he is very conservative, and
is disposed to do the South what he regards as a
service-secure for her the admission of repre-
sentation. But he does not 60 far enough by half
Indeed we are forced to believe that he is either
lnsincere, or OF weak intellect. He ought to tell
Congress that the test oath which it has passed
for the exclusion of Southern men from office not
only unconstitutional, but an outrage on the coun
try. He either knows that this is so, or he is no
statesman; and his opinion on any point Of Con-
stitutiona law, in the last case, is utterly worth
less. If he knows that the test oath is unconsti
tutional, then he should say SO like man, and
not in all his public utterances avoid committing
himself, like some miserable county cross roads
politician. He occupies position in which he
may afford to despise the arts of demagogism,
and should do SO. If it is his purpose to be frank,
and he does not believe that the test oath is un-
constitutional, he should employ the services of
some one of sufficient capacity to enlighten him
on that point. The letter of Gov. Graham, pub
lshed during the last twelve months, might serve
to assist him in his research after the truth in re-
gard to this question. Taking the message all in
all, it is a disappointment"
It is little remarkable that the President
does not recommend in his late message, as
he did in his message Of December, 1865,
modification of the test oath. Indeed, when
he says, as be does, that only loyal mem
bers" of Congress should be admitted, and
forbears at the same time to repeat his re-
commendation that the oath be modified, he
inpliedly endorses 1t. This is what vexes the
Dispatch and Others of that ilk.
The real feeling of the /" Southern leaders,
towards the President, is shown in the cool
and contemptous manner in which the Dis
patch advises him to employ the services of
Mr.. Graham. This is nearly as good in its
way as the opinion Of Gov. Swain, that if
Mr.. Graham and Mr.. Perry had been admit
ted to seats in the Senate they would have
induced that body to adopt "a wiser scheme
Of adjustment" than any yet presented.

The Sentinel regrets that action has been
so long deferred by our Legislature on the
Howard amendment. We concur with that
paper in this regret. There was no good
reason why the Legislature should not. have
adopted it at once, unanimously.
{ The Sentinel adds, We are ready to sur
render any personal or political feeling to
effect the great object ofnational tranquility
and Union" That is very pretty express
sion, but unfortunately the facts do not sus-
tain the Editors in making it. The Sentinel
also adds:
"But we never can vote for the enlarge
ment of the powers of the Federal Govern
ment, or the Congress and Executive, which
look to the destruction of the old government
as the Howard amendment proposes to do,
or the humiliation and degradation of our
own people. If they are to be disfranchised,
let others do it."
To all which we have no particular objec-
ton. 1t is very refreshing, however, to hear
the Sentinel and its friends praising " the old
government" Every one knows how they
love the old government" and how they
hate the present one They went out from
the old mansion five years ago, and labored
to the last moment to fire and destroy it,
Since they left, many changes have occurred.
They will condescend to return to it, if the
occupants will beg their pardon for having
left it and sought to destroy it, and if in
addition, they will put every thing in the
mansion in the same condition it was
when they left. This is so kind and reason
able that any thing else would be "humili-
ating and degrading" and true Confede-
rates." who scorned to "cowardly abandon
the cause of the South, y will suffer any thing,
no matter how terrible or awful, before they
will obey any will but their own. Never
theless, they are as submissive as lambs, and
much more loyal than any other class in the
country. All other classes are common,
when compared with them. They are the
best :"

CHICAGO Oh ST. LouxA

We quoted from the Davenport Gazette the
other day the statement that four-fifths ofthe
produce along the Mississippi nverisship ,ed
TO St. Louis in preference TO Chicago, on acA
count Of the cheaper rates Of freight And
we find the same idea very vigorously insisted
on BY the Dubuque Times. This suggests 70
our mind the query, Why should people IN
Southern Iowa insist on making expensive
lines OF railroad to secure connection with
Chicago, when Davenport and dubuque,
hundreds of miles farther from 81. Eznis and
nearer to Chicago, proclaim that 81. Louis is
their best market. 81 - ssss
The Times says
ut will be but year or two at tho outside
before it will be decided whether Chicago or
St. Louis is to be our permanent market. II
now looks as though St. Louis will be pres
ferned. Every effort of Missouri and Iowa

Louis.
Chicago has her choice whether she will
lose all the trade OF Iowa. She can save a
portion Of il BY constructing canal from La
Sale TO Clinton, distance Of only forty-6ve
miles. This canal once opened, canal boats
could be towed up TO Dubuque, loaded and

ness the effect Of the death Of the Emperor
upon European politics. 1t would most greatly

But in France Napoleon has been sole

hostility to the Imperial regime, but they have
never assumed any definite organized shape.
