The Condition Of the South.

The Northern press teens with
eulogies upon Southern prosperi-
ty. Our agricultural products
pour back into our laps the wealth
which was destroyed by the war.
Rising from the chaos OF a revo-
luton which uprooted our insti-
tutions from the very bottom,
without capital, and with eman-
cipated slaves, the South has
steadily advanced towards pros
perity. There is no example in
history of a more complete ruin,
nor can there be found an in
stance of such rapid recovery in
the face of such difficulties. Our
political enemies ascribe it to the
beneficent operation of the gov
ernments which they have estab-
lished over us, but to those who
are conversant with the shameful
misrule and extortion which make
up our postbellum history the ar
gument Of ssThe Imperialist," that
the prosperity of America so far
from being the result OF wise
republican institutions is in spite
Of them and the sole result of
natural advantages, seems not
unplausible.
But the South is pursuing the
true course. Let us render our
selves independent of other sec
tions as far as possible and our
favor will be sought. There are
those who would fain enter upon
a crusade for eternal, hopeless
poverty p over the South, but the
mostflagrant oppression, the most
heinous DEGREES cannot wholly
co,1nteract the operation of laws
more powerful than mans. IL
only the sword and torch be kepe
away we will soon get wealthy,
and in accommodating riches we
are placing ourselves upon van
tage ground where we can success
fully contend for our rights under
the constitution o. Price
Current.

ent have been able to destroy.

An invention has been pro-

An invention has been pro-
duced in Paris for settling dis
putes between cab-hirers and cab
drivers. It not only reckons the
distance traversed but indicates
the exact sum of money due to
the driver. Two dials are fixed
on the back of the driving seat;
one contains a clock, while on the
other the distance travelled is in
dicated by hand acted on by the
wheels; it is entirely beyond the
control either Of cabby or his
"fare." The apparatus is put in
and out Of gear by the lowering
and raising of a lever bearing the
word "Libre," which is only visi-
bic when the cab is empty and
the sscompteur' consequently un-
employed. There is no danger of
the driver omitting to lower this
lever as soon as he is hired, as it
is his interest to have the great
est possible distance paid for.

The XVth Amendment.

The obstacles in the way of the
XVIII Amendment are thicken-
ing. The refusal of ten States to
ratify will kill it. Thus far we
have against it beyond contin-
gency-New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland, Kentucky, Ohio, Geor-
gia, California;. A rejection
by three more of the States ends
the controversy, and leaves the
settlement of negro suffrage, in
it's borders to each State. Can
we count upon three more? We
think so. The Tennessee Legis-
lature, represented by men like
theridge, will certainly reject it.
If Pennsylvania goes for Packer
and the prospects for his cleo
ton are encouraging-she will re-
scind her former vote. Onemore
State will be wanting. We can
get that State from Oregon, In
diana, New York, Virginia, Mis-
sisippi, Texas, or Maine. Even
supposing that the three unre-
constructed States, in order to
escape military rule, should ratify
the amendment, we have still
Oregon, Indiana, New York and
Maine to fall back upon. Before
the requisite number of States
can be obtained, we think Indiana
will annul the bogus ratification
which was extorted from her.
Oregon will refuse to ratify, it we
may judge from the result in Cal
ifornia, and the dangers which
threaten her from Chinese suf-
frage. New York cannot be count
ed for ratification so long as a
Democrat is Governor. 1t is true
that her Legislature ratified the
amer dment, but the old method
Of ratifying amendments was by
an act Of the Legislature, approcod
by the Governor. In this instance,
O lly concurrent resolutions were
passed, which was an intimation
that the. Legislature considered
the business to be exclusively
their own. Hence it is that the
State Department has no official
notice of the action of its party
friends in Albany, and it devolves
upon the next Legislature to rec
tify the error. Will the next
Legislature do so? We doubt it.
In Maine, also, we have a chance.

PESNsYLvAN1A.-The Age, the
able Democratic organ in Phila-
delphia, indulges in pleasing
hopes of Democratic prospects in
that State:
During the past week we have
seen several gentlemen who, in
the routine business, have travel
ed the State from the Delaware
to the Ohio, and the reports they
give of the tone of public senti
ment everywhere uniformely
point to an overwhelming Demo
cratic victory. Our informaHI Is
are gentlemen of intelligence, :,
who would not misrepresentf facts.
Their opportunities for observa-
ton have been very extended,
and but for the fact that we can
place implicit confidence in their
statements, we should feel inciill-
ed to doubt the possibility of such
an enthusiastic awakening Of the
masses in behalf OF the Demo-
cratic nominees as they report.
In the large cities and towns, in
retired villages, and throughout
the rural districts, the universal
cry is: Give us q change of rulers.
Any change must be for the bet
ter, is the general opinion. II
this feeling is taken advantage of
in a proper manner, Asa Packer
will be elected 10y a large major
ity.
