What fhe South Nav BE.

There is not much in the Washington
Chronicle that Southern editors care to
reproduce; but the following extract
from one Of its articles, as to what the
now excluded ten Southern States may
become, contains much truth. 1t is
worthy of perusal by our people, as it
gives them good ground for hope and en-
couragement, if they can ever be in a
situation to develop their resources:
Once admitted into the halls of Con-
gress, they will hold, and that very short
Iy, not the balance, but the weight OF
power. The late insurrectionary dis
tricts, as we have grown accustomed to
call them, are entitled, at rough esti-
mate, to some eighty or ninety Repre-
sentatives and some twenty Senators. a
few years, and this estimate will 5e dou-
bled OF quadrupled. With free labor and
free schools, the South will leap forward
as no section Of this country ever did be-
fore. She is ripe for development. 1t is
not with her as with new and unpopu-
lated country. All the conditions OF rapid
and thorough development are at hand.
Her great cities are already located; her
great lines of travel are already stretched
out; her forests are broken her streams
known and na7igstedD her soils tested ;
her mineral treasures tapped. Through
out her territory, courts are open, the
machinery of local and municipal Gov
ernmcnt is In working order, and well
understood, and schools and churches are
sprinkled from border to border. There
are no wild and hostile savages to exter-
inmate; no impossible mountains to be
hewn through no malaria or deadly fe-
vers to be conquered by the slow ap-
proaches of gradual civilization. All
these great obstacles which face the pion-
eers oil a new country, and make the
march of civilization like the march OF an
army, whose foremost columns, no matter
how daring or fearless, must melt away,
have been overcome. The magnificent,
luxuriant South, bursting with undevel-
cped-perhaps, undreamed of-wealth,
stands, today, ready and waiting to be
entered in and possessed. Like seed sown
in good ground, will turn out all invest
ments made within her fertile and willing
bounds. She must be, for the next de-
cade. the commercial and financial El Do
RADIO of our land.
Other things being equal, she will out
strip the far and unknown West, simply
because she is known and within reach.
Men will not care to settle at the spurs OF
the Rocky Mountains and on the bound
less plains, where, at best, they could only
hope to leave tc their children the advan-
tages they may themselves at once enjoy
in fullness in the South Of to-day.

SENs1BLE.-The colored people OF Tai
lahassee, Florida, had q mass meeting re-
Gently, and invited Governor Walker OF
that State to address tl1em: He complied
with their reqest, and among other things,
told them:
am happy to meet you today under
these wide spreading oaks in the Capitol
Square. beneath the blue vault of heaven.
This is the manner in which freemen should
meet to consult concerning their public
affairs. am. as have ever been, opposed
to all secret political associations. Let all
the people, both black and white, meet in
public as you do to-day, and make known
and discuss their sentiments and their
complaints and then truth will be arrived
at. abuses and errors corrected, and good
feeling and harmony promoted. But when
there is q secret society that meets in some
dark place, and bars the doors and per.
suades men, one at time, to go in and
take perhaps a terrible oath and sign a
pledge, no good can cortle Of it. The
members of such society cease to be
freemen and become slaves to those who
manage the secret organization. For
though after joining the society It's mem
bers may beeome convinced that its objects
are not tor the public good, they are afraid
to say SO, because when they attempt to
exercise the rights of freemen they are
stopped with the cry of Remember your
oath, remember your OATH" In times OF
war and public disturbance there may be
some excuse for secret meetings, but can
conceive of none in peaceful times, and in
a free country like this. The laws and the
officers, both State and Federal, will fully
protect you in meeting in public and CIV
inc full expressions to your views, what
ever they may be, and therefore l warn
you to give the cold shoulder to any man
who should endeavor to persuade you into
some secret place to take an oath or sign
a pledge binding both your souls and
bodies to any particular action. Your
bodies are free, and no power under heav-
en- can take that freedom from you, but
the freedom of your minds is in your own
keeping; let it not be stolen away from
you by designing persons--remember that
"None are free but whom the truth makes free,
And all are slaves besides

Annoying and Laugllahle Ac-

with one of those spider-lke vehicles which

one side, the youag man on the other. and
they attempted to raise the young lady up.

cried.
The boards had broken in the centre, and
