rEs f COmPLI5lENTsO OF THE SEA-

Some moralizing old codger has writ
ten, Hypocrisy is the homage that vice
renders 10 virtue" Something of this is
Illustrated in the course of Radical legis-
lation for the South:
To blame the whites of South Carolina
for the present anarchy, is to expect the
minority, without the machinery of gov
ernment, to accomplish that which the
majority with possession of all the Offices,
are proclaimed incapable of doing. This
is compliment to the governing capacity
oflthe white minority. And yet large
portion of the whites are disfranchised
from holding Office.
To hold entire counties responsible for
the presence momentarily of any vagrant
outlaw, as Alcorn proposes to do in Missis-
sippi, is to expect volunteer police service
from every man, woman and child. 1t pre-
sumes a degree of public spirit on the
part of each and every Southerner that
should command admiration. 1t assumes
their capacity for the undiluted democ-
racy of the older Grecian republics. 1t
RENTS the functions of government to
the people en- nlaSSe. This is notable
compliment on their powers of self-gov-
eminent. And yet they are not permit
ted tn regnIata their own affairs
Thus, throughout this Radical legisla.
ton we are complimenied with the sbili-
ty to remedy every political and social i'll,
while pscifcation is expected from the
tying of our hands more and more.
Statistics show absolutely less crime in
proportion to population in the South
than elsewhere. For the past twelve
months, or for the past six years, the
million of Te1nesseeans will compare
most favorably in this respect with any
other million of the thirty from Maine to
Oregon. And more yet is expected oil
us. A higher standard is set up for the
South. We must be absolutely free from
crime of every sort. Not solitary
criminal must be found within our Dor
ders, or the whole community must suffer
Whisky must not warm our blood, as il
does that of others. Human passions
mustnot so much as simmer under Southern
suns. We must not even indulge The
luxury of runaway match, lest an angry
father pursue
We grant that the history of Southern
society naturally leads the world to expect
greater things of us. But the expecta.
ton is none the less compliment, snC
we accept it as such. OF course it is
poked on us in rather awkward shape
just now, but awkward compliments are
said to be the most sincere.

UsuRY.-The old ground is being tray
elled over again by many of the country
correspondents of the Virginia press, and
there is q clamor for return to what is called
"the good old 6 per cent. law"
Whether 1t he the result of the extension
of limit, or whether merely consequence
OF increased prosperity, money has certainly
been more abundant and cheaper since the
legal rate of interest was raised.
We do not intend here to discuss q
question which is not practically before
the people; but in reply to letter of
inquiry asking our opinion, we would
say we believe "the good old 6 per
cent. law" was hindrance to trade,
and directly initiated against the in
terests which it was designed to protect.
We believe that ii resnacted the price of
money would in twelve months be 80 per
cent. greater than now, because the large
and safe capitalists would use their funds
elsewhere to greater advantage, and the
farmers would be, at second hand, at the
mercy of the small dealers, who would
charge, 1t is certain, both for their oppor-
tunity and their risk.
One word more rs q suggestion to Gag
ricola": How can it be expected that We
can secure money for individual enterprise
at 9 per cent, when all the great corpora
tions, and many OF the State and city gov
ernments, are offering 8 or 10, with the
most ample guarantees ?-Peters6urg Pro.

g gem inst enough to carry into effect the
copS delegated, were reserved to the
States and the people. With men Of ex-'
IRENE views and radical tendencies it seems
almost impossible to comprehend limlta-
ton of rights and powers. To illustra e !:
With the Radicals of the Southland l
might add some at the North-before tue
war the Federal Government had no rights
the States were bound to respect. -.
The war, think, has cured, or ought to
cure. that delusion, but l fear it has given
rise to another for since the war the Rad
icals of the North seem to think the States
have no rights the Federal Government is
bound to respect. And this last delus1on
is as dangerous to liberty as the first. EX-
IRENE follows extreme. The pendulum
from one side of the arc swings always TO
the other, and the higher it rises on the one
side the higher it rises on the other. The
rebound from the war began. The south
erin Radicals idea of all power in the States
is now. under the lead of those who con- D.,
troll this Administration, fast driving all
power into the Federal Government. re:
peat, in my opinion, gentlemen, the real
issue, paramount over all others az ibis
moment, is whether the true republican
form of government OF our lathers shall
give way to Capitalization and To milltary
despotism. 1t has already made long strloes
in that direction.
The great duty of the Democratic party
and all who love republican liberty IS TO

ALLEGHANY COUNTY, Aug. ~, ~

ALLEGHANY COUNTY, Aug 20, 1o'A'
Gents.MPossibly the following facts con-
corning points OF interest along the
chesapeake and Ohio railroad between
Staunton and White Sulphur Springs may
be of interest to your readers. Ten miles
west of Stanton we pass Buffalo Gap and
have fine view Of hlliotys Knob. which
is probably the highest mountain in Nir-
ninia, being 400 feet Give. sixths Of Il milc)
above tide. The North mountain summit
is the highest point on the permanent track
of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. AT
Millboro' we pass through Cady's tunnel to
the temporary track, with It's grade
of 80 feet to the mile-aldcd by
the ''mountain climber" e. Il. FISK
to Mason's tunnel, passing the heavy
unfinished work, known as click Run
Fill" This fill probably the second largest
in the United States is 165 feet high. and
contains more than 100000 cubic yards.
There is q fourteen-tOot span arch clllvert,
nearly 500 feet long, under 1t, to pass The
waters of Lick run. Ten miles from Ma
sons tunnel is the Cow-Pa>ture river. The
channel has been changed from its original
bed, to avoid two bridges. Here We pass
another tunnel, aud five miles west Is Cllt-
ton Forge, the lowest point on the rail-
road in the Valley. Here Jackson's river

grandly imposing view. There is no finer
mountain views in Virginia than Cliff
ton Forge and vicinity. Four miles
aboye-at Jackson's River depot-the
river has been changed as the Cow
Pasture was. AT Covington passengers
have twenty minutes for supper. Crossing
jackson river at Covington, We enter Dun
laps creek valley I; passing a small tunnel,
we come to the "Mud" tunnel, when We
commence ascending the Allegheny noun
tains, at a grade of sixty feet to the mile.
Two miles above Callaehau's Is MOSES run

States), 1865 feet high, containing 500 900

New York PoLITICs.-The Tammany
chleItains are said to be really more alarmed
now over seemingly earnest movement
the German Democrats, under the lead of
Hon. Mr.. Otte ndorter (Statts Zestung), are
making than over the attacks of the Times
newspaper. The movement in question
has for its object the expulsion of Hall.
Connolly, Tweed. and Sweeney, on the
theory that the Democratic pany cannot
carry that load this fall and win. The Ex-
ecutiye Committee of the German General
Committee have already adopted resolu-
tons to that effect, and the latter body will
have special meeting on Monday evening
to take final action upon them. II this
German Democratic diversion is perseyered
In, and does not degenerate into mere
Hank movement Of the Republicans, i'm
portant consequences ere long may ensue.

THE New DEPARTUBE.-The Wisconsin
Democracy, with Senator JAS. r. Doolittle

the field on the "new departure" They
say .sTbat as the late amendments TO the
Constitution have been declared by the
propery-constituted authorities to be part
of the fundamental law of the land, they
are binding OH the people and that "the
Democratic party arc opposed TO the Wltn-
drawal Of civil and political rights from any
class of the people !. and that we demand
the removal of all political disqualifica-
TONS"
This adds another to the long roll OF
States which agree to accept the inevitable,
turn their backs upon the bad past. and
make the best of the Standardization

BISMARCK AND THE AMERICAN ARMS SOLD
TO FRAHcE.-It now comes out that when
the French were making enormous pur-
chases of arms this country to use against
the Germans, Baron Geralt, the Prussan
Minister at Washington, secured fort
nights delay until he could get instructions
from Bismarck. BY putting up twenty per
cent. he could have stopped the entire ship
1nent, and he wanted to know also whether
the conduct Of our Government in allowing
the deportation of arms was considered to
be in good faith towards u friendly Power.
The answer came from Bismarck that he
did not care where the French bought their
arms nor who sold them. AS a consequence
some SO, 900 rifles were shipped, mostly Re-
mington's, and Mr.. Remington sold also
100 batteries of artillery. He is still deliv-
cring 1920 rifles weekly, the contract not
having yet expired. Bismarck's policy
seems to have been to take the guns at
nothing apiece from the French. They
were cheaper on the Loire than they were
in New York.
