WITHIN the last eight years the
South has passed through a revolu-
ton almost as radical as that which
swept over the thirteen colonies in
the war Of independence. And it
viii be nearly as idle for the Republic
a and Democratic leaders of the
North and West, the Summers and
the SeymOurS, the COlfaXes and the
Pendlebons, to attempt to control thR
I politics Of the Old Ave States aftef
the XVIII Amendment is adopted and
! they are fully restored to the Union,
as it would have been for the Wing
and Tory chiefs Of England, the
ROckinghams and the Nortbs, the
G~renvilies and the Foxes, to endeavoT
TO rule the politics of the United
States afterthe British Crown had ac-
knowledged their independence, and
is feet had left the harbOr Of New
York.
Political leaders who have grown
gray in following a beaten path and
utteriBg the same old party cries, must
awake to the tact that the country has
crOSseH the threshold of a new era,
and that in the Presidential contest OF
1872 the Southern States viii pIav a
conspicuous part. They viii not care
much about what the Hon. Peter B.
sweeney or the Hon. Reuben Z. Fem
ion may think upon public affairs.
but viii be very sure to have ideas
and a policy of their own: and with
a heavy electoral vote at their dispO-
sal, they viii insist upon the nOmina-
ton OF candidates who viii ADOPT
those ideas and carry out that policy.
It viii be prudent, therefore, for
Northern politicians, both Republi-
Cans and Democrats, and especially
those who aspire 10 lead their party
and cOvet its high hOn0rs, to so regu-
late their conduct in the meantime as
10 meet the appreciation Of their fu-
ture dictatOrs, a re~generated and ho-
mOgeneOus South.
The above, from the New York San,
is WeiI-timed as a warning. XVIII
Amendment or no XVIII Amend
men5, the Southern States VIII certain
~ vate as they please one Of these
days, if they vote at all. And they
viii be likely 10 have their own policy
and their own leaders once more. The
march Of events may have much
changed that policy, but the Southern
people, with a COMMON sympathy and
a common interest, viii not be very
likely to vote the manufacturing and
bond-holdiug interests up, and them
selves down. The vote Of the South
will not initiate that Of the North in
acting on a cowardly war passion
after the war, but it viii be strong
against present abuses, and earnest
Tor the restoration Of every ~constitu-
uonaI principle, and the return ofgood
government, economy and low taxes.
politicians who do not bear this in
mind viii get no vote from the South,
when the time Of her bondage has
ceased.

HORACE GREELEY, though perhaps
not the best friend the South ever
had, is a man Of large sense, q philos-
Opher and statesman. Recognizing
BENZ. BUTLER as one Of the chief
southern haters, Mr.. GREELEY has
lately called on BUTLER to come out
and lead for universal amnesty and
suffrage. BUTLER replies that he
would not proIong the disfranchise-
ment of any truly repentant rebel.
But with Astounding v~ituperatiOn,
which is his element, he insists that
southern leaders should be punished
to deter Others from like Ofenses. He
says it is not the past but the present
''rabels" that he is chiefly opposed to.
And that, ifin any ofthe Instruction
airy States there has come upon the
people a true feeling Of accepting the
situation which banishes hatred OF the
negro and acknowledges the superior
ity Of the Government and the wrong
and sin of rebellion, so that love OF
the lost cause is not superior 10 the
love of country, he is ready to wei
come that State into the Unisn, and
let bygones be byg0nes whenever
proper constitutional provisions to
carry out the true principle Of equal
s4-- 81 al NO.. haF,r, tho Tauy have
been enacted and will be preserved.
adds that his desire for the tri-
umph of the XVIII Amendment is
sincere, not for the sake ofmere party
success, but as a great measure OF jus
tice and right, securing the equality of
all men before the law. The follow
ing paragraph is taken from his

soon as he obtains IT, and gets where
he feels himself beyond the reach of

done in the case of Georgia with the
XIVth, and Cypress the colored
men and loyal white men of the

and by every sacred tie to protect and

cause he believes it a right and just
measure Of constitutional law, I am

During the late unhappy conflict,
that able military chief, Gen. Joe
Johnston, erected at Dalton a series OF
lakes, ponds and dams in front of his
entrenched camp, to delay and retard
the expected approach of Gen. Sher-
man. Were Gen. JohnstOn's camp in
Memphis at this time, and Gen. Sher-
man expected to advance on him,
along Poplar street, it would be to
doubt his well known sagacity to sup
pose that he would for a moment
think it necessary to intrench himself
in this manner, as the enemy could
only successfully advance over a series
OF pontoOns. In a military sense,
the city is we'll intrenched
by the City Fathers themselves,
who, during the past fall, cut
a channel into the rotten clay of that
street which now forms almost a con-
tlnued canal along its line, or, to speak
more accurately, a chain of pools or
ponds, some of which are said to be
more than four feet deep-a sufficient
depth to float a mimic navy. The
citizens residing on this well fortified
street are thinking of ordering a large
reward for just such another piece of
road on the whole continent of North
America. They are also thinking of
resisting the payment of any taxes
until the road is made passabIe; for
you must know, MeSsrs. Editors. that
while they feel securely fortified
against any enemy, and, moreover. do
nOt sufficiently appreciate the danger
of any present invasion of their terri
tory, they are also entirely cut off
from the visitation of friends or from
the approach of neighbOring farmers,
who might perchance contribute to
the trade and prosperity of that part
Of the city.
Can you not, NIessrs. Editors, inter-
pose your friendly offices and satisfy
u City Fathers, and if not the pres
ent Fathers those who are incoming,
that a state of hOstilities does not
exist, so as to justify the extraordinary
system OF fertilization that has been
resOrted, by the present city admin
istration, along Poplar street. Weare
a peaceably disposed people. We
wish to have a thOrOughfare free for
trade and travel. We are opposed to
mud and water bIockades. We design
to pay our taxes. But we know our
rights, and are resolved to maintain
them by voting against every candi-
date for a municipal office who viii
not pledge himself to remove the in
toierabie nuisance of Poplar street be-
yOnd the NicOlsOn.
Messrs. Editors, "let us have
peace" have indicated the ultima
tum. Let the candidates all come up
to the mark at once.

Ror-A correspondent of an Irish newspa-

follows: &c have just heard of plan to pre-.

decay, for pig feeding, As this is year in
which the disease is prevalent. very likely
such plan will be universally adopted
When the diseased potatoes are sorted they
should be taken and boiled, after which they
are allowed to dry by their own heat and then
put into barrels and pressed down in a pulp,
and cover with moistened clay. Then cover
the barrel and allow it to stand by until re-

that had they given her salt, it would have
relieved her; and if they would allow him to

were in mass. He sprinkled salt on this,

To REMOVE GREAsE.-If silk or cotton
dress has been stained with grease, a very ex-
cellent method of removing the spots without
taking out the color, is to CRATE two raw pota-
toes in clean water; pass the liquod through
a cloth then let it stand until clear, then
pour the water off; use it by taking a clean
cloth, wetting the spot; and rubbing until it
disappears, and rub with dry cloth until the
spot is dry. Be careful not to wet more of
the dress than is necessary.
