To us it seems that business Il reviving,
that manufactures are springing up BY the
dozen, that population ia increasing, and
that property is not saleable simply from
the extraordinary demand for money in
business transactions. As there may be q
question about all that, however, it is graft
flying to witness q confidence in our PROS
poets exhibited by long-headed Northern
capitalists in SO unquestionable manner
as the lavish outlay of cash witnessed in
the building of this road. We are highly
pleased to see at the head of the enterprise
such men as Cakes Ames, H. J. Gardner,
H. N. Farwell and P. Butler, all of Massa-
chusetts. Their connection with it is
enough to convince any one otherwise
doubtful, not only that the road will be
built, but that it ought to be built; that it
will be profitable to it's projectors, and adj
vantageous to the country through which
it passes.
The life and energy which these GENTLE
men have infused into the work are >ele-
ments which ought to be encouraged in the
South, and which can soon make it a smi-
ing garden throughout its length and
breadth. Our population have since the
var shown their possession of the most
rrepressible epefgy and industry, but it is
exhibited in the way of agri-
culture. v They have no experience in rail-
Dads and canals, and if they had they have
70 money to create these works.
1t Is true that our Northern allies did
xclte some displeasure by their Legisla-
i've exertions Of the last session, but there
re- few men who will not bear watching,
nd therefore, take them all in all, we cav
elcome to the Massachusetts, men and

OF witnessing the dedication of the
Beautiful little church which the energy
OF Rev. Father Sheeban, aided bv the
priests of his flock, has erected ON one
sioe OF Annunciation Square. The I,ishop

ing, while the Bishop sprinkl led he ,rccincts
with gLoly water. After having n.,le the
SiFcaiS vi tie building, the process lion re-
bofhed TO the front door, which was then
thrown open for its admission. The Lisbon
ana clergy then entered, followed by the
crowd of faithful who had been WAITING
outside.
Tho ceremonies of the altar consisted
partly OF singing the Litanies of the Saints
and avery impressive discourse from Bisbon
Perche. During the Mass Rev. Father G..
Moynlhan delivered a most eloquent and
impressive address, which we regret our
inability TO report in way to do it Justice |
The music of the choir was highly credit
able, also the performance of the brass
band of st. Mary's College, which was in
attendance. The Society of st. Michael
was out in full force and assisted materially
d preserving order, thing SO difficult to
'e enected on an occasion of this kind.

Some Of the Radicals ae explaining
that the appropriation Of this Fund of
Fifty Thousand Dollars, Is not unusual in
the legislation of the State, and the case
of the expenditure of a small sum in the
effort to secure the arrest of Graves, the
absconding Treasurer, in Canada, during
the administration of Governor McRae is
cited.
This is poor apology for highland
ed and unauthorized act. 1t is not less
shallow than the attempt to divert atten-
ton from its objects by styling it con-
tingent fund, instead of Secret Service
Fund, as originally called for in the Gov
ernor's message, before the public mind
was awakened to its enormity.
By existing law, ''the sum of four
Thousand dollars, or so much thereof, is
thereby annually appropriated for the
"cOntingent expenses Of the ereeufire depart
''naent, to be expended-under the direc-
''tion of the Governor and to be account
"ed for by him to the Legislature at each
session" But this Secret Service Act,
approved April 9Th, 1870, provides that
''the sum of FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS BE ADDED to the con-
''tingent fund of the executive depart
"lnent" mot ''to defray the expenses" of
the executive department, buD fto be
FUSED in the enforcement of the crimi-
"nal laws of the State" And it was
passed on the recommendation of the
Governor, that the spirit of lawlessness
and violence was abroad in the State, and
his statement that a measure of the kind
was needed, in addition to the effective
organization of the Militia, to preserve
the peace and to bring the guilty to pun
ishment. The libel on the community
at large was no less atrociOus, than is the
remedy anti-Republican and extraordi-
nary. 1t is not palliated by anything
has ever before occurred in the history of
this State, nor is it justifed by the acts or
the spirit of the people who notwithstand-
ing the trials on their patience and forti-
tude never have been more peaceful and
law-abiding. The measure was produced by
no public necessity. 1t was the offspring
of a combination of wicked causes Chief
among them was a desire to furnish food
for the partisan hostility which exists in
the stronger section against the weaker
and from which have sprung the persecu-
tions and usurpations of the past four
years, and which its agents live in the
hope of prolonging, in order that they
may riot upon the spoils of the people =
Another motive was to display the power
of those in authority and to hunt down
the objects of their hatred and still
another was to dispense patronage among
the tools and emissaries of the Radical
party who have no other means of sup
port, and whose services are deemed in
dispensable to its existence The despi-
cable wretches will thus be appropriately
employed in this Secret Service business.
While they are plying their calling, it
will be our mission to tear the masks
from their hideous faces that they may he

Never have any people toiled more pa
ffentiy than the people of the South to
reestablish their material prosperity since
the loss of their cause. They have pre-
sented an example of endurance under
accumulated wrongs and of industry UNI
der painful conviction that they would
be robbed Of its fruits, rarely to be found
in the worlds history. 49, --'.as.
From all of the reconstructed States the
same record of public robbery has been
made up by the carpet-bag and scalawag
rulers.
In Louisiana they have crt.'ted an
enormous debt, and fighting among them
selves they are their own accusers of the
crimes of which the are guilty. The
Governor of that State charges the Aud
itor of Public Accounts with peculation,
and the latter proclaims that he is the
victim of persecution by his own assoei-
ates in villiany.
The scalawag Treasurer of Georgia
charges Bullock the carpet-bag Governor
of the same State with having used the
proceeds of the State Road for private
purposes, and the charge is echoed by a
Republican member of Congress.
Holden, scalawag Governor of North
Carolina, who will never forgive the peo-
pie whose cause he betrayed during the
war, is Spectator in State bonds; and
now the fact has transpired that the car
pet-bag (white) Governor of Florida and
(negro) s'ecretary of State are partners
in a swindling transaction. 1t is related
that recently there was filed with the
aforesaid Secretary of State a forged act
of the Florida Legislature entitled "An
"act to authorize the Governor to ask for
"and receive the agricultural land scrip
''from the United States" 1t was sign
ed by the Governor himself as law. 1t
was also signed by the Lieut. Governor
and the officials of the Legislature and
yet the journals of that body show that
no such measure ever passed thot body.
1t is barefaced forgery. The handwri-
ting is attributed to one Campbell, whom
the Governor recently appointed to an i'm
portant office; and that individual ad-
mits that he prepared the forged act at
the instance of State Senator
These villianies are characteristic of
sealawag and carpet-bag management in
all the Southern States. Usually public
robberies are exceptions, but in the estab-
lishments which have been set up by the
bayonet over the people of the South they
are the rule.
