PROSPECTUS
OF THE
WEST AND SOUTH
PUBLISHED WEEKLY AT
G,NNdHEN ATa (aEHEO
CINCINNATI, OHIO.

THIS Journal as its title indicates. will be de-
voted especially to defining, protecting and
defending the political, social and financial in
terests of these two most powerful Democratic
tons
Believing that both alike are deeply interested
in cheap, and responsible Union of consent BE-
TWEEN the States, with the REMEDIEs necessary TO
protect life liberty and property, without appeal
ing to revolution we shall advocate the doctrine
of State Sovereignty and Federal Subordination.
1t will teach with Jefferson, in the first Ken
lucky resolution Of 1893, that the federal gov
eminent is not the final nor exclusive Judge ofthe
extent of its own powers, because the compact of
Union was made by Sovereign Nations and each
of the States bat not the federal Supreme Court,
nor Congress, nor the President is the final Judge
Of attractions Of the federal constitution and Of
the Mode and Measure of Redress.
Believing both alike to he equally interested in
maintaining the social and political supremacy Of
the white race over the negro and other mixed
and inferior races, We shall advocate the doctrine
that when an inferior and superior race comes to-
gethcr by the million, i'll the same country, the
latter must of necessity become subordinate to
the former; the only alternative being q war of
races in which one or both must go to the wall.
We believe white supremacy and negro suhordi-
nation to be the true relation of the two races
We oppose The degradation Of our white lahorers
and producers BY black soldiers and. black suf-
frage, nor are We willing that Western and South
| ern society shall I've sunk under the weight Of g
race incapable of selt-e0Sernmcnt.
Every measure not inconsistent with the fore
going principles which is calculated to build up
and unite the " est and South in business, social
and political pursuits will receive the hearty CO.
operation Of this paper, Without regard TO who
may first advance it.
The West and South will give weekly report
Of the Cincinnati Markets.

his lamentations over the change which may
take place in the lifetime Of a hat;
"When this old hat was new,

The robbers having fed, the passen-

The robbers having fed, the passen-
gers succeeded in securing the remaining
contents of the baggage car before it was
consumed.
Many of the passengers saved conside-
rable by slowing money and valuables in
their boots and other places, the hurried
search being by no means thoroug h one.
The ladies were not molested, and only
the occupants of the sleeping car were
financially disturbed.
The loss of the Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad by the destruction of the
engine and three cars is estimated at from
S25, 1000 to 100000.
Everything in the express car was
burned. Only the ashes of the green
backs in the safe were to be seen upon
opening it. 1t is said that there had been
deposited in it $4,000.
Captain Brown tracked the robbers
some three miles, and recovered most of
the vouchers which had been taken, they
having scattered them along the way.
The passengers, made up a purse for
Mr. Stewart, the engineer, to whose pres
enco of mind they owed their lives.
The light of the burning cars was seen
at Franklin, and created much wonder
ment. AS soon as the news of the rob-
berry became known, special train which
had been engaged by Mike Lipman for
the transportation of his circus, was ten
dered by him for the use Of the unfortu-
nate passengers, and with q squad OF
armed men aboard it reached them about
daylight.
A letter signed by, and expressing the
thanks of the passengers, has been ad-
dressed to Mr.. LiPman.
The train arrived here yesterday at
noon, with the robbed travellers nearly all
aboard.
The only object of the desporadocs who
committed this fragrant outrage, seems
to have been plunder, as no one was in
any way injured by them.-Nashrllle

THE LONDON TIMES ON THE NEGRO
The London Times in dilating on the SUBJ
ject of negro suffragein the United States,
says:
why cannot the negro be declared a
citizen and invested with all the rights of
a MANI The real answer is that he is
not o citizen, and cannot be made o citi-
zen by proclamation or law. We
have unfortunately had little experience
of our own in this matter. We gave the
Jamaica negro, in common with his white
master, civil equality and the right of self
government, and see how it has ended
All the nogro's instincts and habits go in j
the other direction. He is careless, cred
ulous and dependent; easily excited,
easily duped, easily frightened; always
the ready victim of the stronger: Will. lie
is material for the hands OF anybody who
wishes to make use of him. Invested with
full political rights, the race must be q
magazine of mischief. In Jamaica it ap-
pears that the negro would imbibe, at a
days notice, any absured delusion as to
the authority and wishes of the British
queen, of the commissioners, or anybody
else; but what they were always looking
for was something to be given, or some
thing to be done for them, or some law
to make them all rich, happy land own
ers and tax free forever. Such men are
not citizens, call them so as we will.

friends and neighbors with vlgor Wnich,
four years ago, mightpossibly have driven
them out of the field. What is facetlously
called A Journal of Civilization, even after
the outbreak of the war, was SO conduct
ed as to retain, if possible, its Southern
| subscribers. Lee with portrait) was
great General; Stonewall jackson was a
man whose Christian character was De-
yond reproach; and we remember an ar
tiele in Harper's Weekly about the latter
So enlogistic that it was widely quoted by
the Southern papers in their obituaries OF
the M General. Now the same journal,
which disseminates kind of "civiliza-
tion" which would make the whole coun-
try Cossack, is filled with political carica-
lures, sometimes beastly and now and
then blasphemous; it out-venoms the
most Radical newspaper printed, and is
mainly devoted to abuse of the President
of the United States and vili6cation Of
the people of the South. The publishers
found it profitable, at one time, to fawn
upon the South at present it pays better
to caray filth for the Radical party.
We notice in our exchanges that the
respectable Journals VI Tue oouCll WILL
their readers against the publications OF
the Harpers, Just as they advised them to
stop taking the Herald, which urged them
into secession and then betrayed them,
and we have the best of reasons for be-
lieving that the advice is generally fol-
lowed.
In recuperating from the effects Of the
war, the South is developing its own
literary resources. Two or three new
Southern magazines have been establish
ed and are doing we'll, and several pro-
fessors of the University of Virginia have
prepared and published complete series
of school-books. But New York will al
ways supply the bulk of this, as of all
other sorts of literature, to the people of
all sections of the country, North, South,
East and West; and whoever desires the
prosperity and concord of all the people
in the land may at least refrain from CO.
operating as purchaser with publishers
like the Harpers, to fan the dying embers
of sectional hate, to pander to the lowest
political passions, and corrupt the minds
of growing youths with prejudices and
principles that will breed misery and dis
cord in the political relations of their
manhood.-Ne,o York World.

A Beautiful Extract.

II is long time since we have read
anything so beautiful in the English lam
guage as the following paragrap6s. They
are from an address, delivered before a
convention of the press of Mississippi, by
Col. Manlon, editor of the Vicksburg
Times. Of all the tributes to the South
and her lost cause which have been pub
lished, we have seen nothing to exceed
this in its touching sweetness:
"Southern nationality is dream of the
past. A gulf, beyond which we could not
pass, yawned between us and the realiza-
ton of our hopes; and though. bright
flowers bloomed upon it's brink, and
waited us sweet perfume, we could not
cross to gather them.
"The Southern cross no longer CLEANS
out amid the wild light of battle; the
sword of tho vanquished is sheathed, and
the land is gloomy with the harmless
sepulchres of our martyred dead Bit
when years upon years shall have passed
away-when the last of the present gem
Grafton sleep with their fathers, and new
forms throng the old familiar places
when faction shall have hnshed and justice
hold the scales-then, as bright as day
and as free from blcmish and stain, will
stand forth in bright relief upon the scroll
of historic fame, the record Of the South,
dearer to the hearts of her children now
in the hour of sorrow, than when, on. the
march to victory, she won the admiration
of the world. Pilgrims from other lands
shall tread, with reverend step, above the
spot where moulders the dust Of our loved
and lost; while those who are to follow
MS will cherish as household gods the
names of those who, carving a way.
through thezfory path of war, have writ
ten their names where they can never
de-. The principle for which SO many
laid down their lives may not be recog-
nized until their names have grown feeble
on the tongue of friendship, and been
dropped, like dead silence, from, the earof
the world BUTT will struggle back from
the hollow bosom that once bled forsit,
and ascend the heights of Government
And when the faithful historian shall de-
scend into the vaults of the dead past, in
quest of traditions of liberty, he will then
discover to whom the world is indebted
for their perpetuation." ise

GEORGE D. PRENTICE. veteran
editor, having recovered from his recent
severe illness, thus touchingly alludes to
the matter. We clip from his paper, the
Louisville Journal: gssa.gssies4
Our heartfelt thanks are due toyerys
many of our brethren of the press for
their very kind notices Of us during our
late illness. Their sympathy soothed
and cheered and strengthened us. It
seemed to throw calm and lovely light
upon the world ana make us wish to
linger still among our felIow-men. There
is much that is beautiful and holy and
hallowipg in sickness. It's Influences are
purer and better than those of health
Indeed the feebleness of the body is often
the health of the soul. We see and hear
what we may not in the season of our
physical strength Myriad spirits Of the
air futter over the dividing line between
two worlds, uttering tomortal beings the
tones they have learned in heaven. As
We move downward upon the sombre and
mysterious pathway that leads tt. the
door of the tomb, we behold, as from the
depths of shadowy well OF cavern, the
pale serenities Of floating stars, all inVisi-
BILE in the glare and sunshine of the upper
air, and their sacred and blessed light
need never fade from the spirit
