they are not wrong in their facts, namely-that
Russia, in getting Constantinople, would get

Constantinople is the natural fortress Of the

THE DAILY NEWS.
Tho vireanaans OF tho valley.

The Virginians OF tho Valley.
The knightliest Of the kni9htly race,
Who since the days of old,
Have kept the lamp Of chivalry
AUght in hearts Of gold;
Then kindliest of the kindly band,
Who, rarely hating ease,
Yet rode with Spotswood round the land,
And Raleigh round the seas.
Who climbed the blue v,rginian hills,
Against embattled foes,
And planted here, Ia valleys fair,
The lily and the rose;
Whose fragrance lives in many lands,
Whose beauty stars the earth,
And lights the hearts Of many homes,
With loveliness and worth.
We thought they slept the sons who kept
The names OF noble sires,
And slumbered while the darkness crept
Around the vigil fires.
But still the Golden Horseshoe knights
Their Old Dcminion keep,
Whose foes have found enchanted ground,
But not Knight asleep.

The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1869-04-03

The directors of the Opelousas road have
held meeting 10 devise measures for avert
ing the consequences of Mr.. Morgan's seizure
1t is understood that the attorney of the COM
pony has been instructed to apply for an in
junction, method which seems to be SO
much in vogue now as to threaten everybody
aud everything with this legal brake. In the
meantime an effort is to be made to compro-
mise with the holders of the coupons. Should
these expedients fail, of course the road will
be sold. The interest of the general public
in the matter is that the road should be COM
pleted in accordance with tho pressing COM
mercial necessities of New Orleans and of the
section of country between Berwick's Bay
and Houston. 1t is true that the State and
the city own stock in the concern, but it is
stock which produces nothing, which can be
sold for little or nothing, and which viii
never be worth anything whilst the road re-
mains in its present condition. What the
public wants is that ample opportunity for
competition be afforded SO that capital can
be obtained to carry out the plan of railroad
connection with Texas. Those who stand in
the way of this contamination will not find
much favor in the eyes of our people.
The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1869-04-03

One Of our contemporaries suggests that,
If what the governor charges against Auditor
Wickliffe be proved on the trial of the latter
officer, the promptitude and fidelity of the
governor, in acting against him, ought to be
recognized If the governor has saved the
State from plumber at the hands of one of the
set whom he aided in thursting into the
offices, he will have done something to COM
pensate for his delinquencies, even though the
manner in which be has proceeded should be
regarded as technical violation of law. Re-
gard for the formalities of law is so natural
to people who have been educated to regard
the law as the safeguard ofpersonal and polit-
ical rights, that violation in fraction of its
provisions, or disregard of its requirements,
naturally arouses their indignation and ex-
cites their opposition. For this reason they
were at first inclined to view the governors
conduct towards the auditor as nothing but
the act of tyrant and q usurper, and to visit
upon him the condemnation due to acts of
tyranny and usurpation. And, indeed, it
did seem to be the direct and natural conse-
quence of that Generalization which has per-
vaded the Radical party, aud made Radical
ism Synonymous with perversion and viola
ton of law, even law of its own making.
Nevertheless, since we cannot nationally ex-
pect anything else from these persons, we
may congratulate ourselves, if, for once the
law is violated, or evaded, in the interest of
the public. If Wickliffe has been guilty of
malfeasance in Office, If he was preparing to
carry to even greater extent, schemes
of peculation and plumber, real good will
have been accomplished by Kidding the Capt.
tol of his presence, and greater good by the
official revelation of practices which seem to
be the natural sequence of the kind of Radi-
calism which has taken possession of the
South. If Governor warmoth furnishes the
testimony We shall have something to thank
him for. If he has violated the Constitution
set up by his associates, let his associates
hold him responsible.

SOUTHERN lMMIGRATIoN.-The Memphis
Avalanche of the 18th ult. contained the fol-
lowing;
Col. E. N. Yerger, of Jackson, Miss, has ar
lived IN the city and Is stopping at the 0verton
Hotel. We learn that Col. Yerger Ia here on
esSe@s prScsa Sv T s gsa;
BY able and competent judges the most perfect
and practical in its details of any scheme of like
character which has been, presented to the public
The great subject OF immigration Is now engaging
the attention OF the best intelects and most ener
getic men Of the country-in fact the grand
necessity OF its encouragement Is apparent to ALL
and we congratulate Mississippi that one of her
ablest sons has taken this matter In hand, which
will doubtless be pursued with his accustomed
success, energy and ability. The scheme is not
yet before the public, but when developed will
display strength in itself and in its supporters
which will doubtless command IL great success
We welcome Col. Yerger to our city, and will
patriotic move. Col. Yerger's proposition is one
OF great Importance, and we hope no can be
induced to address our citizens upon the subject.
Col. Yerger is well-known citizen of Mis-
sissippi, almost as well known, perhaps, in
Louisiana, as in his own State. 1t is UNDER
stood that he is coming to New Orleans with
the intention of addressing the people on the
subject of immigration "a subject which
enlists public attention. If he has
any plan that can prove effective in attracting
10 the South the capital which is embracedin
strong arms and honest hearts, he will be
listened to with respect, and will find all the
that he can desire.

Where are all the pleasant things that were
to blossom forth and fructify under the magi-
cal influence of General Grants election?
Ever since his Inauguration they have been
fitting away, the ghosts Of delusive promises
and of hopes nipped in the bud, beyond the
vanishing point In the perspective of very
cloudy future. Even the New York Tribune
begins to prophecy harder times under the
present administration than the country has
known since the pinching straits which re-
suited from the last war with England. The
resumption of specie payment in the interest
of bondholders, to which the new President
is pledged, is bound to increase the public
debt and the burden Of taxation while proper
tionately lowering the earnings of labor. This
is acknowledged by Senator Sprague, who was
one of the warmest of Grants supporters for
the Presidency. He says that the passage of
the inaugural which declared the coin pay
ment Of the bonds to the full extent of their
face filed him with sadness and alarm; for
such policy, he commended, could result only
in the Impeachment of the people or
the reputation of the debt. OF the
retrenchment and economy which were
to be shining features of the present adj
ministration there are dreadfully few
signs anywhere visible. Congress has re-
pealed none of the legislation by which it or
ganized extravaganza and waste. And the
Radical majority dare not do SO. For the
party has no hope Of success save in the null
DUPLICATION of offices and emoluments and of
opportunities for plumber, as means of at
tracing and rewarding the swarms Of able
and skillful but INSCRIPTIONS men who have
heretofore served it only too well. But on
the other hand, the Radical politicians are
fearful that storm of popular odium viii
overwhelm their party unless it shall exhibit
very soon great and unmistakable works Of
publication and reform. Their perplexity
continues to deepen. Even Grant becomes
a bother and q marplot. For they cannot
make him the scapegoat for the misdoings
of the party as they made Johnson; not as
yet ct least, nor as long as he shall avoid
rupture with them similar to that of his pre-
decessor. In their hearts doubtless they
