During the last Congress Senator Pom
eroy was distinguished for his earnestness
in pressing the passage of the New Or
leans and Vicksburg Railroad through
the two honseslof Congress. Il embraced
large land subsidy to the corporation.
He was Chairman of the Committee on
public lands in the Senate. His anxiety
on this subject is disclosed by recent de-
velopments. At meeting of the cor
porators of the company held st the Aston
House, the Senator was made President
of the Corporation. Thus this United
States Senator, Chairman of the Land
Committee, who voted the land into the
bill in the Committee, voted the bill
through The Senate, and then lobbied it
through the House, receives the reward
for his laborious services in this behalf.
1t further appears that the agent of the
corporation is one Willis Gaylord, No.

law of Senator Pomeroy. So runs the

HENRI DEsCHAMBoRD, the old Bourbon
aspirant for French throne that hsp-
pens not to exist has written another
letter, which proves him Bourbon in
deed. He viii make no compromise
with the revolution. Scouting alike the
republican tricolor and the Imperial
eagles, he blunly refuses to rule France
except under the historic J9eur de Us,

D'Arc. Way be is content with this
banner, and does not insist on the older,
medieval orifonBae, is 8 puzzle, unless
it be that the latter was trailed in
the dust by successive English
invasious. After all it is but a matter
of taste, not open for dispute. 1t is an
appeal to the passionate sentmentality of
France, and the good policy of the ap-
peal remains to be tested. In the mean
time, Thiers is on the fence, playing the
farce of Eveybody's Friend, well con-
tent % long as he is Pleading gentle
man." with the anomalous, explosive
condition of his country. We say Sex
plosive, because the secret work of the
International goes on, cropping out here
and there, while the government gives
every promise of being caught as unpre-
pared by the next outbreak IS by the last.

PROSPEROUS TEXAS,

If the payment of high taxes be an
evidence of the prosperity Of State, then
Texas must be in most fiourishiDg con-
dition. In 1860, the amount collected
for the support of the State government
was $454, 804. In 1867, under the govern
ment rs reconstructed accor ling 10 MIR.
Johnson's policy, it was but 1914, 20S
For the current year, the assessment is
SIS, SS7,953. Taking these figures as a
criterion, the wealth of Texas must have
increased about seventeen-fold during
four years of carpet-bag government.
This may be entirely satisfactory to the
good people of Texas while Secretary
Boutwell, pays the debt But those of us
nearer the seat of government would
prefer to have the taxes lighter and let
the debt run until the country was in q
little more prosperous condition, or until
the debt is due.

The following extract from religious
contemporary is well cslcu!sted TO set
folks to thinking, in view of the hazy
political atmosphere that surrounds US:
''All the kingdoms of the world are in
agitation and solicitude. Revolution,
anarchy, threatens every one of them.
There have been wars, and new ones are
breeding. There are moral perturba,iOns
among men. Suicides and all manner of
crimes and wrong doiDgs are Astounding
beyond example. There are fearful acct
dents by sea and by land. There are
rthquskes in tlee last few years, be-
,Ond all examples in history. There are
furious tempests in the sir, in regions
that counted themselves exempt from the
like. Frightful accidents, defying human
foresight, are multiplying. Unnatural
crimes are more prevalent than histories
of our ancestors have ever, even by ex-
sRgeratioD, recounted. In the East
whence plaques come to our shores-in
Persia, we read of frigh full scenes of fam
inc and pestilence together. Among
thoughtful minds there is foreboding of
calamities soon to come on our country.
The pride, the fullne ss of bread, the abun.
dance of idleness, was never more marked
in Babylon or in Tyre, than in our Baby.

ONE good thing has grown out of the

raven. Facts have been developed which
show the ''csrpet-bag" State govern

and have created local offices heretofore
unknown to the people, and filed them

Among the established facts about
Ku- Klux," ''the good and great Horace
Greeley,p as the New York Sun styles
him, announces:
We have the anth0sity. of esof he

openly declared 10 its captives that mo

Again. he says, awe know that in
Louisiana more than forty thousand reg
istered Republican voters were kept away
from the polls at the Presidential election
of 1862 In the same article he says,
"We viii have protection TO legal voters
everywhere.n. This latter quotation, we
take to be the milk of this editorial cocoa
nut. 1t is simply intended to prepare
the way for the use Of the bayonet in
carrying the Presidential election for the
Radicals in 1872. In the same paper we
have letter from Especial correspond
emit" of the Tribune, dated Knoxville,
July IS, giving an interview between this
correspondent and Senator Brownlow,
from which we clip the following portion
of the Senator's remarks: gs5 bEa
In Middle and West Tennessee the Ku-
Klux had formidable organization, as
he believed they had all through the South,
ready to spring into activity in time to
control the Presidential election, by keep
ing the negroes from voting, or forcing
them to vote the Democratic ticket. lie
believed the only remedy for the Ku. Klux
troubles lay in the use of military force,
and it was folly to expect fair election
in the South unless sufficient troops were
sent there to protect the blacks in their
night to vote without intimidation. For
this reason he believed the reduction OF
the army to have been great mistake.
It evident that the Radical politicians,
hopeless of carrying the next Presiden-
tial election by fair means, are endeaVor-
ing to fire the Northern heart for bayonet
practice on the Southern voters. We
expect to hear of the introduction of q
bill early in the next session of Congress
for an increase of the army. 1t will be
professedly for use on the plains against
the hostile Indians, bu. really for cleo
tioneering purposes here in the South.

THE Southern cotton crop for the sea-
son just closing has been by far the larg-
est in ten years. Besides contributing
their shsre toward this increase of the
Southern staple, the rice product OF the
Carol;uas and Georgia for 1870, was, &C.
cordipg to Commissioner Wells, $1,000
tierces, as compared with So, 900 the pre-
vious year. Such is the steady material
progress of sscction where Radicals would
have US believe that ''nearly every negro
man and Republican white man has slept
in the woods for months every night
and where the rest of the population do
nothing but ego about like roaring lions
seeking whom they may devour."

Col JOHN n. HARLAN, the Radical
candidate for Governor of Kentucky,
appears to be scsiswag of the purest
stamp. In speech in 1866 he said:
'Tf the American people continue the
Radical party in power, they will do SO
at their peril, for it is the aV0wed purpose
of the leaders of that party to subvert our
civil institutions and centralize the Gov
eminent" -... .ee..
All this is just as true to-day as it was
in 1866, and far more evident than then,
and yet he is to day supporting this sell
