Parties South.

The "Southcrn Commissioner" Of the New
York JowriQt IF Co1smerce says there arc
four distinct parties iii the Southern States,
but two of which have any organization.
They arc particularizcd thus
l. Men of the great past. Men who were
nulilicrs in Jackson's time, sccessionsts in
1862, who did not surrender with Lee in
1865 who believe Congress will reverse the
Reconstruction Acts, and who actually cutc.'-
tain Vague belief that the constitutional
amendments will ultimately be repealed. =
They arc men Of twenty years ago. who hayo
carried the doctrine of State sovereignty so
far that when you climb fence from one
State to another you meet on the other side
people who take no more interest in the pco-
pie on the side you left than if they did not
exist They arc practically dead mon hang
ing like an incubus on the 1.-Two people, and
fortunately are Il small minority.
g. Tho Conservative or Democratic party
This party is the same as the Democratic or.
sanization North It comprises the practical
intelligence of the white native population Of
Northern elomcut residing here, 1t is busi-
ness party, and y tolerant party, and is com
posed of mon who attend to business and
ICUVC ClccIlolicCilho oNFClclJ o1oho' luSic 10
moro intelligence and vim in this party than
any other, and if it wore successful as it has
been in Savannah, Georgia, it would build up
the South, because it pays the taxos, does
the business, and comprises most of tho good
and poaccable fathers, husband and ncighbors
of the Southern community.
8. Tho Republican party This party is
the same here rs it is in the North, and, as
in the North, tho difference between it aud tho
Democratic party proper is simply matter
of opinion, involving little sacrifice of princi-
pic in tho changing OF vote. These, too,
arc practical men Of business, natives and
Northern mon who differ from their neigh
bors in opinion, and arc respected by them
all the same. They are small in number,
aro tolerant, and like the Democrats, do not
talk politics.
4. Tho party of Duzzards and negroes
The Buzzard may bo easily recognized as
the man who has migrated here to use, and
has used, the negro element for base purposes
The proceeds of tho operation ipuro to the
personal benefit of the Buzzards, and as soon
as tho spois aro absorbed they "fold their
tents like the Arabs, and as silently steal
away to cooler climo to enjoy them.

THOUGHTS.
BY NJ. j. E. CRAWFORD.

There arc beautiful thoughts, which como and
Like the dawn of day, like the sunset glow,
They haunt our hearts, but We seek in vain
10 breathe them in words: the loftest strain
The poet sings is naught to him
But feeble echo. q shadow dim,
or the music and light which warm his soul,
Or! if lie could but breath the whole
His songs are thrilling many a breast,
But he thinks his voiccless thoughts the best.
Thoughts of charity thoughts of love-
Soft as the wing Of the broo;line dove
Oh how softly they tuttcr in -
Covering gently brothers. sin;
Qnietiy stirring up thoughts of prayer
Whispering how we may help to bear
The burden our weary brother bears;
How We may tighten his many cares;
How we may lead some crrimg youth
Tcndcrly into the way of truth!
But ah sweet thoughts il is sad to know
How often you pass like the evening glow.
Ihe sky grows dark; the heart grows cold
We go OH our way, as they went Of old
Whs passing by on the other side,
Some in GOODNESS anu some in pride
Offered no help to him who lay
Wounded and faint beside the way.
Sorrowful thoughts they come and stay,
Vexing our SPIRITS day by day,
Casting their shadows on ull We sec
Filling our souls with pcrplcxity
Shutting the joyous sunshine out,
Yelling our hearts with fenr and doubt;
Till the voice which calmed the stormy sea
Speaks to our souls, and the shadows tee
Glorious thoughts, all warm and bright,
CLEANS sent down from the land Of light
How do they cheer our earthly way,
Turning our darkness into day!
Thoughts of Him whose name is Love:
Thoughts OF heaven, our rest above;
Thoughts Of loved ones dwelling there;
Thoughts of joys We soon shall share!
Glorions thoughts, serene and pure
These arc thoughts which shall endure.
Beautiful thoughts may pass away.
Like early mist on n summer day;
Sorrowtnl thoughts will have no place
Where tears arc wiped from every face:
But the glory begun Oh earth shall bo
Perfected i'll elernty.

ABouT Dun RAILROAD, there Is little more
to be said. Although there are some minor
matters connected with the right Of way to
be finished, all parties, we believe, have set
tied down upon the conclusion that the i'm
mediate building OF the road Is as fixed and
certain rs any future event can be, The route
to the Harbor is confined to neither the east
or west side, for II Is determined TO take both
sides In reaching the lake. The west side, fol-
lowing along the east line of the old tmbank.
ment, has been adopted 10 point near the
head OF navigation-a mile or two from the
mouth of the creek, where 1t is proposed 10
cross with low bridge, 10 what Is known as
Harmon's Flats, owned by JonN HARMON,
and passing through these, and othrr similar
territory of ALBEIT FIELu, thence through
lands Of Mr.. BELKNAP, MARTIN WATRoUs,
Mrs. TuAYER, and reaching the shore through
the remaining lands of Messrs. HUBRARD &
Co. Something over 100 acres of area have
been thus secured, which it is expected will
all be required for the accommodation OF
the road and the various business enterprises
to which it will give birth. Further detail
is not deemed necessary at this time, to go in'
to, as the great fact that the people care most
about, is that of a certain and earnest deter
mination to prosecute the completion of the
enterprise, and of this there no longer remains
a doubt An Office for engineers use has been
opened In the second story of A. ii. TYLER's
new store, and all the steps needful for the
work are being taken with as much facility as
the progress of the enterprise seems to de-
mand. We hope soon to announce to our
readers, the contracting of the work, and the
busy plying Of the pick and shovel in bring
ing up the grade and preparing the work for
the superstructure.

FULLER HoUsE.-Thcre are two ways to
keep hotel" One is for the benefit of tie
landlord, and the other for the pleasure and
benefit of the public. FULLER, AS it seems to
us, loses sight of himself, in IA great measure,
in his efforts to entertain guests and please the
public. He don't run the business for the eX
elusive benefit of the landlord. AS evidence of
thisit is only necessary 10 observe the constant
and generous outlay of money about his
premises. His house, beautifully located, has
been completely repainted, papcred and over
hauled, and his grounds newly laid out, and
greatly improved. One can hardly pass the
Tuler House in a hot day without longing for
ii sea in one of those great easy chairs upon
the pUrlico, with the COOL green shaded lawn
in front 1t is always one of the peasantest,
quietest most homelike public houses one
will find in weeks journey anywhere, and
is presided over by II host and hostess always
gratefully remembered by guests. Those
visiting Geneva will do well to remember the
Tuller House, when looking for pleasant,
homelike public house.
