BY all the blood that has been shed,
Southern Resources.

1t must be confessed that the pres
cnt condition of the Southern people,
in all at least that relates to matters OF
q political, commercial or financial ma
ture, is, indeed, most deplorable. The
harsh and unjust policy of the dominant
party that has controlled the Govern
ment at Washington and shaped its leg
islation since the close Of the late war,
has shut the door against them as to
many of the highest aspirations and
noblest avenues of effort and usefulness
and stihed, if it has not wholly extin
guishcd. all hope of restoration OF
their broken fortunes by a return to the
industrial pursuits, to which, as peo-
Pile, they were chiefly devoted before
the war. But disfranchised, although
they be, of their political rights and
privileges, and taxed beyond the point
of possible profit upon their agricultu-
raj productions, alike by positive laws
and the high wages and spoliations of
the newly enfranchised negroes, they
yet confront the situation with the same
manly constancy and courage that dis
tinguished them during the war, whilst
facing the overwhelming armies against
which they contended. Cut off from
their accustomed leadership and par.
ticipation in the councils Of the nation,
they divert their attention with prompt
and cheerful alacrity into new fields of
endeavor, and bid fair to assert that su-
.periority which has heretofore marked
them in oil things else, in the real and
even the speculative sciences, as well as
In the more humble but more practical
and generally useful departments OF tile
mechanic arts Hence, II falls out that
the old aphorism that "good cometh
out OF evil" receives a new yerifca
ton In new relation; and that though
our people be oppressed, they are yet
true to thcmselvcs in all the attributes
ofgeauine manhood ~ ~ sst 3 3 n

Death of John III. Harncy.

We arc panied to learn that Mr.. John
II. Harvey ST., Editor of the Louis
vile Democrat, died at his home near
Middlctown, Ky, Sunday morning at 5
o'clock, after a long and painful illness.
Geo. D, Prentice, his political rival for
q quarter of century, pays his memo
fy the following noble tribute;
No death has touched lis moro deep
ly than his, since beloved son perished
from the circle of our household. We
knew HIM well and esteemed him high
ly, and were his personal friend long
before he became our rival editor, and,
during all his editorship of nearly a
quarter of century, though he was al
ways, until within short time past,
our political opponent, and though we
had many controversies with him, some
of them violent and even bitter, the kind
personal relations between him and us
were never, except for one brief period,
interrupted* II n Il His
intellect was of a very noble order,
clear, quick, rapid and penetrating.
He saw with keen glance, and grasp.
ed with strong hand the heart of his
subject His fertility OF. resource was
exhaustlcsss. lie could treat the most
difficult topics playflllly and yet with
the profoundest ability. His contro-
-vcrsial talent was formidable weapon,
but he adorned it with wit and grace, as
soldiers on holidays place roses in the
muzzles Of their muskets. His denun
citation, when he was reused to anger,
was as caustic as frozen mercury. In
terseness and incsivcness and vigor of
style, epigrammatic point, and keen an
tithesis, we do not know his superior
hardly his equal, in all the American
press. He was q brilliant ornament
of the editorial profession.

The most foolish predicament man
can get into is to get drunk. In drunk
enness every man shows his strongest
and most ardent passion. An exchange
divides drunkenness into six classes
and says that in drinking saloon,
where there are dozen men under the
influence Of liquor, six different kinds
of animals will be found In order that
those who indulge to excess in lntoxi-
eating drinks-if there arc such among
our readers-may see themselves as
others see hem, we give these classifl-
cations:
l.. The ape drunkard. HE leaps and
sings, and yells, and dances, making
all sorts Of grimaces, and cutting up
all sorts ofmonkey shines, to excite the
laughter of his fellows. Oh, terribly
silly is the drunkard clown!
2. The tiger drunk.-He breaks the
bottles, breaks the chairs, breaks the
heads offcllow- -carousers, and is full of
blood and thunder. His eyes are full
Of vengeance, and his soul raves with
murderous fury. Ofthis sort are those
who abuse their families.
8 The hog drunk.-He rolls in the
dirt on the floor, slobbers and grunts,
and going into the street, makes his
bed in the first ditch Or filthy corner he
may foil into. He is heavy, lumpish,
and sleepy, and cries in grunting way
for little more drink.
A. The puppy drunk.-He will weep
for kindness, and whine his love, and
hug you in his arms, and kiss you with
his soldering lips, and proclaim how
much he loves you. You are the best
man he ever saw, and he will lay down
his money or life for you.
5. The owl drunk.-He is wise in his
own conceit. No man must differ with
him, for his word is law. He is true in
politics, and in all matters he must be
taken as authority. His arm is the
strongest. his horse the feetest, his tlr-
nips the largest, his voice the sweetest,
and his town the finest in the land.
6. The sixth and last animal of our
menagerie is the fox-drunk man. He
is crafty, ready to trade horses, and
cheats ifhe can. Keen to strike bar
gain, leering around with low cunning,
peeping through cracks, listening under
the caves, watching for some suspi-
cious thing as sly as fox, sneaking as
q wolf, he is the meanest drunkard of
them all.
