Southern Trade Prospect.


Frem all sections of the South, but
more particularly those regions watered
by the Mississippi and its tributaries,
the most favorable accounts reach us in
regard to the energy, prosperity and
wealth of the people. The last cotton
and sugar crops were unusually good,
and the effects of these great staples are
already being felt among all classes of
the business community in the prompt
revival of trade, and the rapid exten-
sion of commercial relations in every
direction. New Orleans has resumed
her former status, and is more active
and brilliant than in the palmiest days
before the war. Mobile and Galveston
are feeling the same impetus, and are
sharing in the same advancement, and
another crop of sugar and cotton will
set the GulfStates fairly on their feel, and
start them on a career of sold and per-
mauent growth such as they have never
yet known. Every southwark bound
steamer that leaves st. Louis is loaded
to the guards with supplies drawn
forth by the constantly increasing de-
mands-supplies, too, not purchased on
long credit, to be paid for at an in
definite time, but bought for cash. The
orders for mules, horses, agricultural
implements, machinery, &C., to say
nothing of provisions and breadstuffs,
daily pouring into our city, are enor-
nous, and we believe they foreshadow
for the coming season the heaviest
Southern trades st. Louis has ever

FLUSHING, o. March I. 1870.
To She Z litoc of the Belmont Chronicle:
DEAR SIR:-I have been an interested
reader ofthe animated local correspond
ence, from this place, which has been
carried on, for sometime, through the
columns Of tie Belmont Chronicle and
st. Clairsvilie Gazette. And, while l
iisapproved ofthe use ofpublic journals,
for The dissemination of every petty
local scandal, have enjoyed it, in COM
mon with most Of the citizens of Flush
ing and vacinity, with the same indif
f-rent curiosity that one witnesses a de-
fight, when he has no interest in the re-
salt. 1t becomes very different, how
ever, when entirely without cause, I
am publicly charged with being enc of
the dogs. Since your issue Of tile 18th
ultimo, containing mock defense Of
Lady Innocence anumber of opprobri-
GUS adjective qualifications of the nown
"CitiZen," from the pen OF the self-sup-
posed immaculate y. L. it has been
publicly reported, and positively asser-
ted, hy your correspondent, that am
the veritable "Citizen," against whom
he has been hurting his fiery denuncia
tions. This insult 1 have so far d;sre-
grded, as it is an invariable rule of mine
never TO resent an insult, given by words
alone, unless it eminates from a respec-
table source, believing, with the great
Cowper, that
"a modest, sensible, and well-bred man
Would not Insult me, and no other c0n."
Failing TO elicit any notice from me, be-
cause of his OSn questionable character
he has since asserted, i'll order to digni-
fy ms liUels, that Col. G. l.. Poorma-, a
man i'll Ihom [ have heretofore recos-
nized friend, inserted h article, ,kno,O-
ing that l was the individual alluded to
and without the least investigation as
to the truth OF mis- charges. Now, Col
Poormau, if you would thus knowingly
and without cause, thrust the pointed
javaeiin Of vile calunny aG me, of course
you VIII also refuse me the privilege OF
replying ttrough- the columns of The
Chrouicle; 1 IL, should this Yahoo have
misrepresenIed you, III Lnis respect,
hope yoG VIII do me justice, ny inserting
this denial,
DiscIaining and disayowing all con
troversy, then, with any lying, lecher-
Gus ex-chuOl teacher, (er, because pru-
dent directors would not employ him to
teach their little girts,) | will proceed to
stale a few facts, for the benefit of my
friends, vino may think Ihave been en-
gagged in tue detestable business of cor
responding for theSt. Clairsville Gazette
With the editor of that journal, L have
not the honor of an acquaintance, and
therefore my signature would not in
sure the ii sertiOn of q lbelous article, |
for which the editor would he response

Indirectly, aided OF assisted, in the writ
ing or composing, of Il line or s. liable of
any of his articles.

the townships quote OF brave men to
fight down your Democratic rebellion.
You may now force tears Of mock SYM
pathy for political effect. but you had
better shed a few tears of repentance
over the Infamous course of your party
in bring ing on the war, and your paper
for deaouncing it as 4 "damnable war;"
when the loved ones of those widows
and maids were out fighting for the
Union.
The "blubber"- head who now seeks to
raise prejudice against portion of our
people by talking about them as "blub-
ber-lips." may be considered about as
smart as the copperhead who vented
his spleen during the war in denouncing
it rs q ''damnable war" and the men
who were engaged in it as Lincoln
hireIings." If you think that will pay,
go ahead. Last week your paper talked
about "saddle-colored wenche S" and
this week about 'grinring blubber-lips."
There will be 400 of these ''grinning
blub5er-lips," as you are pleased in your
high sense of chivalrous Democracy to
call the colored men of Belmont County,
who will exercise the right of freemen
in our next county election. There are
enough of them to take the power out
of the hands of a party whose leaders
and "organ" has no higher ambition
than to deneunce and abuse and trample
upon race whose greatest misfortune
is the poverty and Ignorance that has
been forced upon it by that slavery that
was upheld and supported by the whole
power and patronage of the Democratic
party, and it is not very likely, Mr.. Ga
zette, in view of your past and present
course that they will long hisitate in
assisting to drive you and your whole
tribe out of power.

Gen. Grant assumed the Presidency
with u distinct avowal that the princi-
pal as well as the interest of bonds was
payable, and should be paid, in coin;
and Congress re-echoed that declaration
in a vote which was substantially a
party division-the Democrats for pay
ingin greenbacks; the Republicans for
paying in coin. Gen. Grant made one OF
the Republican majority his Secretary
of the Treasury; and he commenced pay
ing according to the Republican
programme. For a time, capitolists
hesitated, and doubted, and caviled-
mumbled musty aphorisms about new
brooms," &C., and wondered how long
this would last-but at length they be-
came satified that their was no sham
about it, and their distrust was succeed
ed by confidence. That is the whole
story. Any one who is in debt, and

The WarId nIoHes

The Judiciary of Wyoming Territory
sustains the right of women to serve as
grand Jurors. At Laramie on Monday,
all the ladies drawn as grand Jurors were
present at IL o'clock A. NJ. A motion
was made to quash the panel, but not
sustained. At ll:55 A. NJ, the first panel
of lady grand jurors in the world were
sworn. None asked to be excused. A
lady baliff was appointed for the grand
Jurors. There was splendid address by
Chief Justice Howes.
LARAMIE, w. t., March I'm en-
paueling and charging the first female
jury. Judge Howes said:
Ladies and gentlemen of the Grand
Jury, it is a novelty to see as We do to-
day. ladies summoned to serve as jurors.
The extension of political rights and
franchise to women is q subject that is
agitating the whole country. l have
never taken an active part in the dis
cussions, but have long seen that women
was victim to the vices, crimes and
Immortality of man, with no power to
protect and defend herself from these
evils. 1 have long felt that such powers
of protection should be conferred upon
women, and it has fallen TO our lot here
to act as the pioneer in this movement,
and to test the question. The eyes of
the world are to-day fixed upon this jury
of Albany county. There is not the
slightest impropriety in any lady occa-
pying the position, and / wish to assure
you that the fullest protection of the
Court shall be accorded to you. 1t would
be O. most shameful scandal that our
temple of justice and in our courts of
law anything Should be permitted
which the most sensitive lady might
not bear with prop!iety and witness.
Here let me add that it will be a sorry
day for any man who shall so far forget
| the courtesies due and paid by every
American gentleman to every American
lady as to even by a word or act en-
deavor to deter you from the exercise
of these rights with which the law has
invested you. I will conclude with the
remark that this is question for you to
decide fcr yourself. No man has any
right to interfere. Itseems to be proper
for women to sit upon grand juries,
which will give them the best possible
opportunities TO aid in suppressing the
dens ofinfamy which curse the country.
[ shall be glad Of your assistance in the
accomplishment of this object. l do not
make these remarks from any distrust
of the gentlemen. On the contrary, l
am exceedingly pleased and gratified
with the indications Intelligence, love
of law and good order and gentlemaniy
department which l see manifested.
will now listen to any reasons which any
jurors may make for being excused.

The Hon. E. E. White, in an address
before the State Teachers Association,
at indianapolis, the last week in Decem-
ber, on the "True Criterion of School
Education," said:
In educating an American citizen,
we are not training an English opera
tive or Chinese cody. He may be a
newer ofwood, but ifhis life answe ers lif's
great end, he will also be newer ofin-
justice and wrong. Every child born
into American citizenship is confronted
by the grandest political and social
problems of earth's history, demand
ing ripeness of judgment, breadth
of information, and a catholicity of
spirit. Here the knowledge of most
value for guidance is that which pre-
pares man to discharge the duties of a
complete life and an exalted. noble
manhood. The engineer must be
swifter than his engine the plowman
wider and deeper than his furrow, and
the merchant longer than his yard

T,h. Fifteenth Amendment.

The question of issuing the proclama-
ton of the ratification of the Fifteenth
Amendment was discussed in the Cabi-
net session Saturday, and the course to
be pursued decided upon. Secretary
Fish stated that twenty-seven States
had officially certified as having adopt
ed the Amendment, not including New
York and Indiana. He then argued
that Tex as and Georgia could not be
counted until Congress approved their
Constitutions and admitted them as
States, under the ruling of the seventh
section of the Reconstruction act, passed
April IS, 1867, which is as follows:
THAT the proceedings in any of said
States shall not be deemed final or
operative as a complete restoration
thereof, until their actions respectively
shall be approved by Congress-" The
President then announced that he
would not issue the proclamation until
Texas Or Georgia were admitted, so that
the twentyeight States could be named
without counting New York or Indiana.

Loydsviie, Ohio, a town of one hundred and
forty inhabitants has seventeen widows, and
a number of old maids who flourish among the
weeds Belmont Chronicle.
Yes and SO is every other village throughout
this once happy land crowded with widows and
old maids. The accursed war ha, robbed only
toe many good women OF their husbands. Only
too many good women with sad hearts saw their
betrothed leave never to return and while the
idols of their hearts lay cold in death on the
battle helds of the South, their lonely lives,
their aching hearts are cheered by sneers and
heartless jokes and taunts of being "Old Maids
among the weeds" These widows and old maids
can now see for what they made their great sac
rifice as the grinning blubber-lips pass by their
desolate homes TO the election. The widows
husband died, the maids lover was slain, but no
votes are lost, for cannot negroes fill their place
at the polls ?-iGazette.
That will hardly do, Mr.. Gazette
Louisville has great many widows but
the editor of the Gazette is the last man
in all this community that should un-
dertake the mock sympathy game in
their behalf. 1t was the persistent en-
couragement given to the rebels of the
South before and after the commence
ment Of the war, by such pro-slavery
newspapers as the Gazette, that gave
life and vitality to the war and made it
necessary for so many wives and daugh-
ters to gave their husbands and lovers
to save the Union. Many of them are
widows and.maids to-day, simply be-
cause the Democratic leaders and news
paper editors encouraged armed resis-
tence to the authority of the Govern
ment, when the people took the con
troll ofthat Government out of the hands
of the Democratic party and Louisville
has more than her share of those be-
reaved ones because she is the Republi-
can stronghold in Riehland township
and furnished more than her share of
