WANT OF CONFIDENCE.

That there is almost complete lack OF
confidence 10 and among those to whom
alone we can lock for relief from the fnan.
cial endorsements OF the country, is one
of the most patent factS in connection
with our situation. This distrust is not con
fined to the financial question, either it ex'
tends to some extent TO every important
interest of government. 1t may safely be
said that atno time within the history Of the
government has there been so little conf.
dence in the ability and disposition ofrulers
to grappe successfully with the difficulties
and duties Of their positions as at present.
There is no assured confidence anywhere
A large part of the Republican party del
trust the other part, and the whole ISH
ocratic party are utterly without rope III

Added to this is the snomSl0asfact 'ns' the

ness to trust him, until, by his unmistakable
acts they shall feel warranted in accepting
him without reserve. They tremblingy hope
for the best, but remembering what they
consider the apostacy of johnson and the
well known fact that Graf was once Dem

continually cropping out 10 his adminlstra'
ton.
Radicalism can expect nothing better
of a man in the smoke Of whose cigar they
sought to envelop and obscure its real prin
cpIes in order to win an unfair victory at
the polls. With a Radical candidate defeat
was a certainty,a in order to postpone for
four years longer the dissolution Of the Rad

The ride Of emigration which has been
se,,ing eastward in steady stream for half
a c,pfary seems now TO be turned toward
,bS south, attracted, doubtless, by the extra
ordinary prosperity Of that section during
the past year. Every thinking man will
rejoice at this, not only because it promises
to restore that unfortunate section Of the
country to more than its former prosperity,
but because in no part Of this Lroad land
can labor add so much to the national
wealth The indications of desire to re
ceive emigrauts are unmlstakable every
one who has been South this winter speaks
OF the scarcity OF labor, and general anX.
iety to introduce Yankee enterprise and
skill. The principal railroads in Tennessee,
Georgia, Alabama, North and South Caro-,
lima, have agreed to carry emigrants at one
cent mile, as we have before stated, and
all parties who desire TO examine the cOun
try ut two cents a mile, until July LIST, 1869,
the hotels extending their accommodations
for two thirds their usual price, can do so.
We chronicle with satisfaction this evidence
Of awakening enterprise, hoping it will be
generally appreciated. In two respects the
