Thousands Of people are ia state
of actual starvation in the South, and
even in some sections Of Iowa and
Minnesota great destitution exists
How much better it had been if the
millions squandered IN buying the ice
plains of Russian America had been
spent in supplying bread to the starv-
ing, clothing to the naked and ia edu-
eating the ignorant poor of the land.
Seven millions judiciously spent would
have fully accomplished these objects
and the achievement would have been
something for the country to be far
more proud Of than the purchase Of a
barren waste under the Arctic Circle.

The Memphis Appeal derives com
fort from the Connecticut election. IF
the reaction continues and the South
is true to herself, Our heroes it says,
will not have died in vain" In 9th
er words if the Democracy are sue
cessful at the North, the principles Of
the ''lost cause" if not the cause it
self, will be triumphant. Encouraged
by what has been accomplished, it pro-
ceeds to make the prediction that if
the South reconstruets under the Sher-
man Bill, those who consent to such
action will, within ten years, envy
those who died for the cause that is
not lost so long as they are true TO it
and themselves" The appeal, how
ever, it should be said, is edited by a
renegade New EDglander, who will
6ud himself out In the cold, if civil
government Is reorganized upon the
/ Congressional basis. His opposition
to it is not unnatural Cincinnati

The Raleigh, North Carolina, Stan
dard-ex-Governor Holden's paper
advocates Thad. Stevens plan of con-
6scation. 1t says that the lands of
the great body Of the Southern peO-
pie will never be touched but the
lands of the rebel leaders are and
ought to be in danger. It asserts that
many of the Southern people feel that
erty of the rebel leaders Is not confs-
Gated that it is a crying injustice not
to give the freedmen lands; that the
large estates of the instigators of the
rebellion ought to be cut into small
farms for the poor whites and eOlOred
people 1t concludes by asserting that
this revolution has not yet run its
course. Detroit Post

At Gov. Geary's sober reception, in
his residence in Harrisburg lately,
whereat no wines or liquors were serv-
ed, it is sneeiDgly remarked that 'at
the present prices of liquor, the plan
affords a great saving" Gen. Geary's
strict temperance is proverbial aud ex-
emplary. In the most trying cam
paigns of the war, he was one of the
liquor ltis, therefore, easy for him
to make Temperance the rule of the
Governors mansion at Harrisburg.
