From Me Tribune.
We presume the South has no larger pro-
bortion of donkeys than other sections; but
Ibey seem to be endowed with decidedly
louder bray And it is general misfortune
that this bray is echoed and re-echoed all over
the country.
Some two weeks ago, number of our most
respectable citizens generally, we boheve'
such as are deemed conservatives, but IN
the average little addicted to pOlitics-called a
public meeting to consider and act on the sub
iect of Southern distress. eve believe the
movement was prompted, if not originated, by
certain of our city's noblest women, who could
not imagine that there was aught political OF
partisan in an effort to feed the famishlng.)
This meeting Henry Ward Beecher and Horace
Greeley were invited to address, and did so.
Thereupon. absurd paragraphs appeared in
certain Southern journals, inveighing against
the presumption or bad taste of the above
named in getting up meetings to relieve South
ern distress-which they never thought OF
doing. They simply obeyed call which no
civilized human being could have decently
declined. Either of them may have spoken
well or i'll, and be liable to criticism or rebuke
wholly the affair Of others.
Mr.. George Peabody recently saw fit to make
a large gift in aid of education at the South;
placing the money in trust with certain emil
nent and estimable citizens, North and South.
His was a noble act-one of many that have
served to make every American proud to own
him as a fellow -countrYman. We are sure that
seven eighths of the Southern people honor
and bless him therefor. But these are silently
grateful; while the few malignant donkeys lift
up their heels against him after the fashion of
their kind, accompanied by brayings which
disgust but, unhappily, do not deafen. 1t
seems that a majority of the trustees desg-
mated by Mr.. Peabody live north of the PotO-
mac--whereat the donkeys vOciferate as though
Robert c.. Winthrop George Riggs, etc, were
hair-brained fanatics, intent ON subverting
t'Southern institutions"
OF course there is no answering such don
keyisms, unless with a cudgel. And so of the
simulated fear that ''niggers" will absorb the
lions share of the great bankers bounty.
Mr.. Peabody was never politician-probably
never voted - and is the furthest possible
from being any sort of radical. He could
not, of course, stipulate that the most igno-
rant and least favored moiety of the Southern
youth should receive no benefit from his
munfcent gift; but if the blacks shall ever
get dime out of each dollar of it, they will
be decidedly lucky.
There is a bitter, venemous, hateful clique
at the South, who clutch at every opportunity
to parade their chagrin and wrathful grief il
view of the downfall of the Rebellion. This
clique makes noise out of all proportion to it
numbers and real Importance. Let wist
and firm policy prevail at Washington, anC
it will speedily sink into its proper insig
nifCance.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1867-02-20

against disfranchisement and arbitrary penal
ties under the Constitution which delegates
elected by universal suffrage, black and white
are TO frame; nor will IL protect them from
possible contingencies Of legislation pending
the completion of the reconstruction process.
All these considerations are inimical to cotton
planting, sugar making, corn growing, and to
commerce generally. They will be sources OF
constant uneasiness, of vague apprehensions,
and a want of trust in the immediate future
which must cripple every form of industry,
and paralyze trade as effectually, if not as sud
denly er violently, as ordinary panic
Therefore, we consider caution pre-eminently
necessary in every branch of business, and
especially in branches which are in any man
ner dependent upon Southern crops or South
ern custom In the end, we trust, all will be
right. And having failed to obtain the parti-
cular adjustment we have desired, we are
content to avail ourselves OF Senator Sher-
mans method, and to await patiently the ulti-
mate result It is intended to accomplish. But
let no man be deceived, The road before the
South is rough, and hard, and long; and
while its people are on the road there can be
nothing like steady, solid prosperity there or
anywhere in the country. Spectators may
try to force up prices on the hypothesis that
trouble is over and the Union restored.
But no sensible importer, or manufacturer,
or merchant, or investor will permit himself to
be cheated into neglect of the need for caution
that grows out of the yet unfinished work.
Fools may rush into deep water, and the world
will not miss them if they happen to be
drowned. Prudent business men will prefer
to remain on dry, solid ground, and to regu-
late their transactions with a distinct and CON
tinual reference to the condition of the South
ern States. If manufacturers, their production
may be less if merchants, their sales may be
smaller than would be desirable in different
circumstances They will have the satisfaction
of knowing, however, that their position is
comparatively safe, and that their course is
calculated to divest the period of depression Of
its most formidable dangers.

NECESSITY FOR 1T.

The want of q Line Of Telegraph, located with
a view to accommodate the river trade, has long
been felt. Many important towns now with
out any teiegraphie communication whateve, and
the lines now established between other points
arc, in most cases, disconnected, following cir
cuitous routes, hundreds Of miles out of a direct
course, causing vexatious and unnecessary delays
to business, by reason of numerous repetitions,
and the frequent interruptions incident to reng
lines. When the facts are borne in mind that the
liability of telegraph line to damage from any
cause is increased in the same proportion its
length, and that the repetition of a message dou-
bles the time necessary for its transmission, the
great and very important advantages of direct
route over the circutous ones now in operation
readily be seen.

KILLED DEAD,
A GRAND EPOCH IN MEDICINE.
= - !,

DR.. Maggiel is the founder of a new medical
system. The quantitarians whose vast internal
doses enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bow
els and with whose external remedies the ulcerat-
ed and eruptive surfaces of the skin are deluged
in vain must give place to the man who restores
his health and appetite with from one to three
harmless pills, and cures the most virulent and
scrofuous disorders with from enc to three bex es
of his matchless salve.
DR.. MaggiePs Pills and Salve have ushered in
a. new medical era. No more nauseating ayalan-
ches of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples threats. One of Maggiel's Pills rectifes
the disordered condition of the stomach ndliver,
elesnses the head and restores the nerves in q
space of time short enough to be almost classed
az marvellous.
In fact Maggieps Bilious, Dyspeptic and Diarr-
hea Pills cure where all others fail. While for
Burns, Scads Chilblains, Cuts, and all abrassions
of the skin, Maggiels Salve is infallible.

{ The American Watch Company, of Waltham,

cheaper, more accurate, less complex, more dura-

easily kept in order and repaired than any other
watches in the market. They are simpler IN
structure and therefore stron ger and less likely
to be injured than the majority of foreign watch
es W hich are composed of from Us to 500 pieces,
while in an old English watch there are more than
700 parts. How they run under the hardest trial

8 GENTLEMES-The watches manufactured by
you have been in use this railroad for several
years by eur enginemen, TO whom we furnish
watches as part of our equipment. There are
now some three hundred of them carried on our
line and we consider them good and reliable
time keepers. Indeed, have great satisfaction
in saying your watches give Us less trounie, anu
have worn and do much longer without re-
pairs than any watches we have ever had IN use
on this road. As you are aware, we formerly
trusted to those of English manufacture, OF ac-
knowledged good reputation; but as class they
never keep time correctly, nor have they done
as good service as yours.

decessor, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extended
over a series of years. Respectfully,
