What il will Cost

The sonthern loyalists, in council at
Washington, Wednesday night, consider
ed a proposition that there should he at
least q hundred thousand federal soldiers
stationed in the South to maintain the
new state governments, if Congress adopts
their plan for another reconstruction
The number is quite too small What
would hundred thousand soldiers
amount to. for maintaining hostile gov
ernmcnts in ten States, over twelve mil
lions Of men? Half million would be
a small allowance. And if we arc going
to that expense, let us have military gov.
crnmcnt aud done with it, and blot out
State institutions altogether.
The Springfield Republican, in the
above, has hit the nail fairly upon the
head lis materially to be consider
cd, how much it will cost To carry out
the scheme ofthc demagogucS and usurp-
ers at Washington, AS against a just and
Constitutional course ofaciOn. 1t took

The FUTURE OF THE SoUTH.-We utter
but trite sentiment when we say that
the future of the South is in the hands of
its young men. How many Of them are
qualifying themselves to manage its fac
tories, control its railroads, mine its ore,
work its machine shops, and cultivate its
plantations? Professional men it has in
abundancc-able lawyers, accomplished
physicians, eloquent speakers These
have their uses, but the growth of State
depends less on them than or the char
acter Of the men who manage its indus
trial enterprises. What is most needed
in the South to-day is that the young
blood which fought for it so galIantly
should work it as determincdly. On the
plantation, in the shop, in the factory,
there the South is to effect its true restor
alton. The young men who dug trenches
and fed on hominy and pork, who went
clad in home-spun gray and slept in cold
or rain or shine under the canopy Of the
heavens to further the fortunes, as they
believed, of their native land can now do
noble service by laying hold ofits plough
handles, turning its lathcs, guiding its
spindles, handling its locomotives. But
there is want Of capital, No matter
They have youth, health, hope, ambition,
and good abilities. They have every in
centivc for which to work. Begin with a
will, and success will crown their efforts.
