HARPER,s Weekly.

Among the most bitter and vlr'
ulent Of the conductors Of the
Northern press in indiscrimate
abuse Of the Southern people, the
Harper Brothers are possibly
foremost. There is neither sense
nor reason in the vindictive spirit
which seems to actuate these men.
A blind and impotent but raving
hope seems to possess them
And in each publication, like a
maddened hurricane, they mouth
and foam and fret, call harsh
names, and indulge in all of the
vindictive explosives which are
at their command. There is witt
them, at the South, naught bu'
disloyalty, bloodthirstiness ant
Righteousness. Here, however
we are in error. There is a class
or rather race, Of people at tn
South, with whom the Harpe
Brothers are fascinated. ThO
race is the negro. He is persOni
fcatiye Of loyalty, purity an
LONELINESS. he lie endowed wit
: all the noble attributes which G
: 70 make the perfect man, create

burg HERALD will please bear wit.
ness with us in that we mean no
injustice TO any Vicksburger but
we thought they were standing In
their own light In refusing TO let
our road to the river. But, prithee,
Captain Spears, 10 it not q fact that
our friends ut Vicksburg are only
willing for the road to extend
where at can't be did?" Are we
right Below the city, 1t seems lie
the only practicable route for ex-
tension. Our contemporary Of the
Times and Republican, we believe,
so charged, By figures that cannot
lie. We rather like that long lead
er In said journal, showing that the
location OF the depot without the
city, proper, will not iDjure the city
or It's business as now situated.
However widely we may differ
from the politics of the Times and
Republican, we endorse its views
on this question, in toto, and regard
his article unanswerable.
We have simply to say this to the
enquiry of the Register. The PEG.
pie Of Vicksburg desire that the
road shall have q terminus upon
the river bank. But they say the
road eau and should have that ter
minus within the city limits.
Now we would respectfully In
form our brother of the Forest
Register that the people Of this
city have just as much sense and
Judgment in this matter and are
as fully prepared and informed
with regard 10 the 'cans and Can'ts"
of It's feasibility as the railroad
company.
, Does the Register think our PEG.
! pie would be so foolish or so hypO.
! critical as to say they are willing
} for and want a river terminus fol-
the road and yet-insist upon one
that was utterly impracticable !
. We hope our Forest friend will
give US credit for more sense and
fairness.
g We have time and again stated
! tOhy this people object to that ter
minus being two or three miles be-
Q low the city. There iS no neces'
sity for the location being SC
far away and If there is any II II
not o sufficient one to weigh
. against the wishes and interest Of
the whole city. All the interior

JUDGE sGmnALL AND GBS.
RRBBmAM.


ONE BY ONE TIE ROSES FADE
In his letter to the committee
Of invitation, explaining why be
could not attend the celebration Of
the ratification Of the 18th Amend.
ment in this city last Friday, old
JONATHAN TARBELL, by the grace
Of Governor Alcorn, one Of the
Justices of the Supreme Court,
INDUCES in the following spread
eagle paragraph
One by one the best minds Of
our own, as well as the other
Southern States, are yielding to
the logic of events. That accom-.
plished scholar and jurist, Judge
Simrall, plants himself squarely
on the Republican platform, while
the old Democratic war horse Of
1868, Gen. Freeman, who deserves
eminent distinction for his bold,
brave words, declares in o recent
letter. "For my own part, zeal
ously as l have heretofore oppOs.
ed the tenets and past measures
of the Republican party, l shall
now yield obedience to the powers
that be, and give the national and
State administration g hearty and
jealous support" Such sentl
ments are a rebuke from high
sources of those who seem 10 have
no other ambition or occupation
than to infiame the passions and
keep alive the prejudices Of the
people, unfortunately to the injury
Of the latter.
To those who know the man,
the announcement that JUDeE
SIMRALL, has planted himself
"sQUARELY ON THE REPUBLICAN
PLATFORM =" will create no sur.
prise! For three years, Judge
Simrall, has been more than sus.
pected Of a tender passion fol
radicalism, and those who know
him, felt well assured that his nat.
ural huugering for the flesh
pots" would land him precisely
where he is to-day, into the arms Of
the radical party. 1t has been
common talk for some
time, that it required the
strongest kind Of pledges
from Judge Simrall to induce
Radical Senators to vote for biz
confirmation, and now he has beer
confirmed, it is eminently proper
that Tarbell, his colleague on thC
bench, should be selected to MAKE
the announcement that "that liz
scholar and accomplished jurist'
has "fallen like Lucifer to rise NJ
more."
The reference to General Free
man, may, or may not, be true
assertion of Tarbell Is not evi
dence-and we shall wait to sc,
what white Surrey" has to So,
for himself.

4Nulb anu ~ pure l4Al tAH A4r
per Brothers are ready to fall
down and worship him in blind
alteration. But the white man Of
the South on the other hand,
with these foul mouthed SANDER
ers, are entitled to no rights, are
inhuman, untrustworthy, and dis
loyal, fit subjects for national out
rage and persecution; beautiful
stepping stones to enable the col
ored man and brother 70 mount the
ladder Of fortune. II is somewhat
singular that portions of one
race shall become SO embittered
against the remainder or a portion
Of the same race, and throw all
sympathy, aid, and support in
favor OF another race so com.
pletely inferior. But while it is
unaccountable it is nevertheless
true.
In the number bearing date May
l4th, these men lecture Governor
Alcorn of this State severely for
advocating separate schools for
white and black they hope the
Legislature will rise superior to
the influences which surround
them, and in the cause Of human
ity," enact that there shall be no
separation and distinction that
the negro is the equal ofthe white
rebel, and no legislative action
should be permitted making any
distinction. Permit Us to inform
the Messrs. Harper that the Leg.
islsture Of Mississippi understands
its duties without receiving in
struction from such source as that
from whence this emanates. The
Legislature Of Mississippi has seen
the necessity Of having separate
schools, and yet these oflcious in
termeddlers of q distant State
thrust their opinions and gan.
greened prejudices among US. II
the negroes paid any taxes they
might with propriety themselves
claim these rights. But it is known
that there is in the whole State,
out of the immense amount OF
taxes collected, not over twenty
thousand dollars paid by negroes,
and yet the negroes manage and
control everything here. 1t is sui.
fcient that we submit to this
and pay to educate the negro chill
dren without being subjected tC
the additional humiliation of fore
ing our children into social equal
ity with a race which we claim
and feel is in every way inferior
to US.
The Harpers have ever been thu
bitterest enemies of the South
and VIC are surprised that South
ern people patronize them. Book
sellers ought to drive their publ
cations from their houses with til
same sense of duty and prophet
as they would the publications O
the obscenest character.
There are thousands of othe
publications equally as %attractiv
and not at all hostile, whicI
should receive the patronage q
the Southern people, and such vii
publications as these should no
be permitted to reach q singl
Southern reader.
