WHY They Oppose II .

{ The Marietta Register says
The reason alleged by, the
Democratic leaders for oppos'
ing the XIVth amendment is
that it forced negro suffrage
upon the States, against their
will. But, as the amendment
itself recognizes the right Of
each State to give or withhold
the ballot, as it may deem
proper, by cutting the disfran'
-chised class out of the basis Of
Congressional representation
in certain cases, the utter fal.
lacy of the objection is appar,
ent. The real reason Is, that
the amendment forbidS the
taxing Of the loyal people. to
pay rebels for their slaves freed
during the war, or the assump-
tion, by any State of any por-
ton of the Confederate debt"
thus cutting off the traitors
hope Of profit from rebel bonds.
Kentucky Democrats would
like, to be cOmpensatedin'Lin
coin rags" for their saddle
colored" children freed from
slavery by the war; while the
Southern Democracy gener-
ally would be extremely
pleased to change the Confed-
crate bonds, which they hold
in lage quantities, into "green-
back" receipts for State taxes.
If they can defeat the XIVth
amendment, and the Demo
cratic party can obtain control
of the Government both Of

THERE is a world of sugges-
tion in the following paragraph
from recent Southern letter:
"The prime cause of South,
ern want is the laziness of the
whites. Southern climate is
notoriously eneryating, and is
made the excuse for not work,
ing by the 'priyilegd classes
AT every crossroads doggerg,
every shop, and every store in
every town and village is to be
found a crowd of long-haired,
stalwart fellows engaged in
whiting sticks, chewing l. to-
bacco and cursing the negro
three things which they do
well and industriously follow
up. Without 2. dollar, save
what they make or defraud
their laborers OUT of, they
spend their time, week in and
week out, in idleness, regret
ting old times,' instead Of
turning to work and industriI
ously striving to retrieve their
fallen fortunes. They have
land in abundance, but this
few only vii! sell lest the me-
groes get a foothold and be-
come property owners. The
South is by no means as i'm.
poverised as has been repre-
sented. The Southern people
still have in abundance all the
elements Of wealth, and it only
requires industry among the
Whites and encouragement and
fair dealing toward the c6lored
laborers, to raise the late rebel
States to even a higher state
Of prosperity than they ever
before enjoyed. em .,'. 3,I2'ol.

We copy and fully indorse
the. following sensible remarks
from the jamestown IN. Y,
Journal, of recent date: 9oo.
i.'''In a general sense, the eff
fort on the part Of any mer.
chant to get trade without ad.
vertisiDg is a wrong to other
business men in the place
Whether a man believes in sd.
vertising or not, he will coin.
eide that the newspapers are a
great help to the place, and
that business amounts to very
little in places that don't sup
port one or moie of them. L
Absence of newspapers is a
bad sign for place, in bust,
ness point Of view, as absence
of churches is in morals, OF
school houses in education.-
The men who support the vii
lage paper, do more to build
up the place, and make it pros
porous and draw trade there,
than all other influences com.
bined.g Therefore, the man
who tries to come and take the
benefit Of that prosperity with.
out contributing to sustain it,
tries to dead head on the rest
Of the business men, and does
them wrong" '',..

The music in the Review is

lect list will testify, all Of
which has appeared within its
pages during the last six
months: "Nora O'Neal, "Katy

mark from the Athens Messen,
ger will apply to Macarthur as
well as Athens: ~ '-''
Some Of our business men

suppose this comes from any
unfriendliness, but from anil
formed, lin most cases,) judg'
ment that it can not be SO well
or 30 oheaply done at home.--
1t is true that in the large
places capital has given the
printing offices more expensive
presses, and perhaps more fash,
ionable type but some work
we have seen could have been
done just as well a good deal
nearer home. This course re
suits in bad effects. 1t keeps
down the country press, Starve'
it so that it can not prosper
and provide itself with the ia
cilitiea for doing good work.
If the country press is wortf
having it is worth sustaining
and our business men, We are
sure, if they consider this ques
ton from the proper point 0.
view, will always first know
what can be done..at home and

greduce' the bulk of the gold

animation will show that every

for it. Both Of the Senators
from Ohijo-WADE and SHERMAN

pose contraction until such
