A SOUTHERN Book BY SOUTHERN
AUTHOR" The Living Writers of the
South" by Jas. Wood Davidson, A. M.
We have before us copy Of this work
a recent publication. AS might have
been anticipated, Mr.. Davidson has been
somewhat criticized for what has been
called his crimes of omission in this
work. Of course, it was impossible for
Mr.. Davidson to include eoery living
writer in the South and, naturally
enough, every male or female author not
gdzetted is inclined to take the ground
that the author of "The Living Writers
of the South " has executed his task i'm
perfectly. So far as we have examined the
work, it appears to us that Mr., Davidson
has fully carried out his purpose, which
has been to present Southern writer's as
they are, and to exhibit the literature of
the Son h. The volume contains the
names of one hundred and sixty-six male
and seventy-five female writer's.
Mr.. Davidson's plan has been to give
DrIet sketch OF each writer, cata-
logue of his works, and q passing
analysis Of his literary attainments. In
doing this, Mr.. D. was called upon to
illustrate tact, taste and Judgment, and
these qualities we think he has displayed.
1t WAS necessary, too, for him to be at once
concise in expression and comprehensive
in scope. and in these elements he has not
been wanting. The work is an eclectic
one. We commend it to our readers.
We believe that it will be found to give
both interest and information to the
reader. It is for sale by the booksellers
here, and every man interested in the
intellectual development of the South
ought to get copy.

RALM SUNDAY AND HonY WREK,-To.
day is Palm Sunday, the commencemen
Of what is known as Holy or Passion
Week. during which is ,oommemorated
the snferings and death of the Saviour
OF the world. From very remote times
the seven days Immediately preceding
the anniversary of the resurrection of
Christ, have been set apart by the
church as season OF peculiar solemnity,
to be observed by acts Of penitence. de-
votion, fasting and prayer. On Palm
Sunday, the Catholic Church celebrates
the triumphant entry of Christ into
Jerusalem, when the tickle multitude
greeted him with shouts of ''hosannn,
and waving of palms. In Catholic
countries on this day, palms are blessed,
distributed and carried in procession
through the streets and along the roads,
but in this country the clergy and those
who serve at the altar, only join in the
procession along the aisles of the church
and distribute the blessed palms to the
worshipping congregation.
''To THE PAPERS OF THE SrATE.-We
have seen Henrys Constitution Renopa-
tor extensively advertised, and would be
glad to know whether anything has ever
been paid for the advertisements, or any
body cured by the medicine. We have
been stuck to the extent of one insertion
only. We would recommend our
brethren of the press to send their bills
ut once to Henry & Co."
We copy the above from one of our
State exchanges; to which we add our
own experience. The nominal or So
called proprietor of "Henry's Constitu-
ton Renovator," is the same individual
who 30 extensively advertised the poi
sonous compound known as 'sMaggiels
Pills"-the bills for which were never
settled, so far as we have been able to
learn. The PHOENIX admits to having
been bitten by the bogus Maggiel con-
Germ; and afterwards-on account of
similarity of names-ndvertised for q
short time the "Renovator. The pro-
prietor called at the address specified in
their advertisement--No. 1G, Pearl
street, New York-and was informed
that no such firm was or ever had been
located there although numerous in
quiries were daily made for them. Upon
further investigation, the ''office' was
found short distance off-the aforesaid
Office containing about ten dollars worth
of very old furniture. One Of the
''partners" had ''iust stepped out" but
the matter would be attended to in few
days, at farthest. A few weeks have
elapsed and the money is not yet forth
coming. This gratuitous notice of the
Maggiel- Henry swindIers is inserted for
the benefit of publishers generally. Take
our advice, and discontinue the adver-
tisements. Don't let Mr.. - "stick'
you any further by proffers of column

THE Cincinnati Chamber of Com
merce has, by a unanimous vote, con-
demned the Tariff schemes of General
SCHENCK. a considerable portion of
that body are Republicans, who are
divided in the West on the Tariff
question, though the Chamber of
Commerce was united. They will
combine with Democrats to protect
their own interests. The West will
unite with the South as the only rem
edy against the eXactiOns Of Eastern
manufacturers. Congress will attempt
to conciIiate Western wool growers
and Southern sugar planters to no
purpose. Protection has a hungry
NAV, which cannot be satiated. Pro-
tect one business and one class at the
expense Of the tax-paying people, and
a hundred and one more viii rise up
to claim the same protection. The
consequence is that the people are Op-
pressed with such favors, and tariffs
become too costly to the consumer to
be patiently borne. The Republican
party must give up its principle of
tariffs for protection, and come to a
tariff for revenue, or it viii fall in the
West. If it goes for revenue alone,
and that not in excess of the wants of
the Government economically admin
istered then it will fall for want of the
spOils.

q Georgia Legislator, sO-called; but,
if we had met with that evil
fortune, ard it became incumbent
upon us to choose between Bradley

we should not hesitate a moment in
the premises. Indeed, it would be
rather a good thing if the National

groes from every reconstructed State.
The fiery civilization of the Anglo

its unnatural experiments, just as

insist that Bradley shall take time by

THE merchants banquet to the
members Of the Legislature and State
Convention, at the Maxwell House in
Nashville, Tuesday night, was a dis
tingUished success. There was not
only much to eat and plenty to drink,
but elOquence withal flowed with the
wine. Our Nashville contemporaries
Of the press are in e~cstacies over it, and
call it a "feast of reason and a flow OF
soul" Hon. DORSEY B. THOMAS, of
the Senate, uttereda sound sentiment
which we should be glad to see needed
a little more in certain quarters. He
said to merchants:
While the Legislature has sought to
remove the inVidiOus Determinations
that vealways been made against the
interest you represent, 1 should hang
my head in shame, and never again
show myself to my constituents, if !
could for a moment believe that 1 had
forgotten the interest OF the barefoot
ed boy of the hills and hollOws, or
of the interest of any portion of the
people of our liberal State. equal
rights and protection to all" is the on
ly true motto for Legislatures. Upon
this basis alone can we prosper; upon
this basis alone can all our material
interests be fully developed. If we
have to help build up the fortunes of
enterprising merchants, let US have
them Of Our own rather than in dis
tant cities.
This covers the true ground. Mer-
chants ask no favOrs not accorded to
other citizens. And other citizens
should ask no protection or advantage
not accorded to merchants. Perfect
equality in bearing the burdens Of
government and the payment of taxes
according to the means Of individuals,
should be a rule inexOrably followed.
Beyond that, taxes derived from priv
ileging pursuits and business, which
is e~ndurahle, but against public policy,
should be devoted chiefly to public
improvements and to the encourage
ment Of manufacturing enterprise in
this State. We get deep into errors,
and fall upon mischievous ills, when
we depart from the principle Of per-
feet equality in taxation. What is
useful should be taxed equitably and
not otherwise. What is pernicious
should be prohibited and punished;
or, when it cannot be suppressed, Ii
censed.

THE negroes in South Carolina,
Georgia and Mississippi are beginning
to see that it is equally unnecessary
and Improbable TO them 10 sustain as
leaders their white Radical pretended
friends. Without them they know
the white native and imported YAM
pires could not subsist an hour.
They, and not their leaders, consti-
tute the strength Of the Radical party
in the Southern States. In the cleo
ton Of REV S they have gained one
not quite so dark-c0lored as to be duly
typical Of their race; but it will do for
a beginning. In the choice Of
WRIGHT, a negro, TO the Supreme
Bench Of South Carolina, owe the
white adventurer and spoils hunter,
HoGE, another point is gained. From
the same State they are likely TO elect
TO Congress WHPPER, a coal-black
darkey. In Georgia the Augusta
C0astitaaionaIist insists that though
the white 1dulCAlS dAC hAbAC hhintI-
BUS the negroes constitute the back
bone of the party, and urges their
claims for that State as follows:
The Georgia blacks have an unque5-
tionable right to demand that a sub
stantial share Of the high offices OF the
"Dation" shall belong 10 them. We
therefore suggest that the Hon. Aaron
AIneoria Bradley, late Of Sing-Sing,
int ofundoubted loyalty, hasa perfect
right to insist upon at least one Sen
aforship. Indeed, he has a further
~igbt to claim that this distinguished
nisce shall accrue to himself. Let him
law nine for the succession. His bea-
Yer hat is Of the latest style. His
dress clothes are unexceptionable.
His overcoat is a trihe shabby. His
dirt yellow kids simply damnable.
Let him look TO the yellow KIDS;
change them instantly for something
newer and better. Thus p~resentable
as TO dress, and backed by the blacks
who really keep the party alive, :
