The Southern States.
Prom the Washington Chronicle

FROM the Washington Chronicle.
The end of all controversy should be
truth, and action in accordance therewit
1t is admitted that the Southern portion of
the Union is in deplorable condition. 1t
might be shown that the confederate lead
ers are responsible for this. 1t is quite GER
tain that if they had accepted the recon-
structiOn acts and the constitutional amend
ments in good faith in 1856. and 1868, and
had gone to work with the Republicans to
organize and conduct the affairs of those
States, the condition OF things there would
have been much better than it is now. In
stead OF this, however, they have per-
sistently opposed the policy of the nation
IN its work OF reconstruction, and they have
labored as assiduously to pull down and de-
stroy as the Republicans have to build up.
If they, owning as they do the bulk of the
lands, and possessing as they do more in
telhgence as they are greater in numbers
than the loyal whites, had united cordially
with the latter, the colored vote would
have not been unit as it is now; there
would have been no line drawn between
the races of political or civil character;
appropriations would have been more iu-
diciously made; the public credit-as all
would have been pledged to it-would have
been maintained, and the spectacle might
not now have been presented of indebted
ness by States to the amount Of one-fourth
of the whole value of their real and per-
sonal property, with little to show for it in
the way of improvements.
A union of this kind, which was earnestly
invited by the friends of reconstruction, but
Indignantly spuvned by the class referred
to, would also haye been pledge of peace
to all the neighborhoOds of the South.
There would have been no violence toward
voters, for the plain reason that there would
have been no temptation to it. Peace and
order would have prevailed, immigrants
would have poured in, capital would have
sought Investment, and the Southern States
would now have had concord for .disc0rd,
order for disorder, goodwill among their
people instead of alienation and ill-will as
at present, and the future would have had |
in it something bright for every citizen of !
those States. 1t is never too late to do right. !
Do not the confederate leaders at last see |
that they alone can never rule those States! !
Why may they not unite with the Repub |
Leans, who have more than they the sym
parhy and confidence of the nation. and |
thus let all the Southern people 90 to work
to improve their condition! Divided as they |
are. weak as they are, burdened with debt |
as they are, and cut up into factions, with
the impression prevailing that very large
portion of them are hostile to the govern
nent, they can hope for little from the gov
in the way of appropriations, or
rom capitalists in the way Of Investments.
Is there no remedy for this condition Of
hings in the Southern States!

Delegates to the Republican National
Convention,


WASHINGTON, November &C. c. Full
ton. one OF the members of the General Re
publican Committee, writes to the Bati-
more american this morning that they pro
pose to introduce in the committee a
resolution urging and recommending Re
publicans of all the States to refrain from
sending federal ofiiceholders as delegates to
the National Republican Convention. The
committee maintain that the masses of the
people are men who never seek. nor would
hold office. yet are the most earnest and
persistent of those who desire the nomina-
ton of President Grant. and as those who
oppose his denomination have asserted that
the voice of the people on this subject has
been stified by those who are dependent ON
Presidential favor. the committee thus pro-
pose to show the falsity Of such statements
by combining the delegates entirely to those
who do not hold office
The denomination OF President Grant by
such a convention will. says Mr.. Fulton,
silence all cavlers on this subject, and con-
duce to the unity and harmony of the party
everywhere.

Warehouse Fees In New Orleans.

This information was contained in a
Washington special to the New York
Herald:
The Secretary of the Treasury. in reply to
letter from Special Agent Kinsella, at New
Orleans, who states that no fee is collected
at that port for either a warehouse or with
drawal entry, while at other ports there ex-
lists diversity in the practice, writes
The proper fees to be collected for a
warehouse entry at ports other than those
situated on the Northern frontiers are as
follows:
''For the order to send goods to warehouse.
twenty cents; for collectors certificate on
invoice and for oath on entry, twenty cents
each, and for the bond, fifty cents. When
more than one invoice is included in a ware
house entry. a fee of twenty cents is ex-
acted for each invoice after the first. No
charge is made for a withdrawal entry A
fee, however, of twenty cents is to be
charged for each permit to withdraw, and
in case of withdrawal for expectation an
additional fee of thirty cents should be
charged for the permit to load goods for ex-
portation, under the circular of April a7.

The Spanish Diflculty.

WASHINGTON, November 29.-The action
which the government took yesterday over
the increasing complications with Spain Gre
ated quite a ripple in official and diplomatic
circles when the facts became publicly
known. The attempt elsewhere to make it
appear formidable fleet Of war vessels had
been ordered to Havana to protect Ameri-
can residents from the mutinous proceedings
OF the Cuban volunteers, tells but half the
story.
The conduct of Spain toward the Ameri-
can vessels, and the non-fulflment of prom
ises to see that Americans in Cuba should
not be maltreated, are anterior to the fresh
disturbances at Havana. The course of the
Spanish men-Of-war in blOckading the
Hornet at Port au-Prince is already known,
and though made the subject Of diplomatic
correspondence, has not resulted in her re-
lease. Within three or four days the Flor
ida, which was uncouditionaliy acquitted
less than year ago in New York of at
tempting to violate our policy toward Cuba,
has been blockaded by Spanish men-of- war
al st. Thomas. and the governor notified of
the fact. To-day dispatches from our con-
sui confirm it.
The Secretary of State. however. on the
representations of her owner had addressed
note to Senior Roberts. the Spanish minis
ter, and he has twice called the attention of
his government to it. Nothing has yet re-
suited
Instructions to Rear Admiral Lee. who
left Washington to-day for Boston to go on
board the Worcester and proceed to the
command of the North Atlantic squadron,
are to protect the Florida in case she should
be interfered with, and to protect the
American flag from any outrage attempted

chased a spring bell is rung, number is
registered on a hidden dial in small, stout

The Memphis AD1,c0l saws;

The Mississippi, Ouachita and Red river
road, of which Colonel Sappington is the
general land agent, has perfected track of
twenty-eight miles and forty miles of iron
paid for and delivered. ChicOt City. in
stead Of Eunice, will be the river terminus
of the road, and from the same point the
narrow gauge road to Little Rock progresses
rapidly. Seventy miles of this line Of road
are graded, iron for forty miles has been
provided and locomotive for the road left
Pittsburg few days ago. 1t is possible
that Shreveport and Camden may reach the
Mississippi at Chicot before the Memphis
and Shreveport line is finished. New Or
leans and Cincinnati will have packet lines
to Chicot City, and it is time that Captain
Mark Cheek was perfecting arrangements
to add to the strength of his navy. There
will soon be a vast number Of cotton bales
gathered at ChicOt CITY.

leaves will tan as much leather as five cords
of hemlock bark, and will do the work in
one-half the time. BY mixing the leaves
and bark in equal proportions, one-fourth of
the time is saved. The leather tanned by
this process is smoother, more flexible, and
yet retains the strength of the raw hide

Cotton Estimate for the World.

The following is a Washington special to
the st. Louis Democrat:
The following estimate of the supply of
cotton from all ports Of the world, for the
year ending September 30, 1872, is from a
most reliable source: Crop of the United
States, 3,35,O 900 bales; sui ply from East
Indlas, ,5Oo. 900 bales; Brazil, $50, 900 bales:
Egypt, 330.OoO bales; from other countries.
2oO,O0o bales: add to the above the exec as
OF stock In European ports, 254.OOO bales;
excess IN United States ports, $4,000 bales:
in spinners' hands, 300, 600 bales: maxine
the total supply for the year 6.479, 900 bales
Allowing that the consumption for the en-
tire year will be at the rate of l25, 900 bales
per week, which rate can only be reduced
by extremely high prices. there would be on
maud at the end of the year, 239, 900 bales.

BEAR AND FORBEAR.
By MRS n. A. KIDDBR.


Be careful. ye whose welded hearts
Are lovingly united;
Be heedful lest an enemy
Steal on you unlimited.
A little. willy. serpent form,
With graceful, Turing poses;
Or, coming in different guise,
A thorn among the roses.
Be careful, We whose marriage bells
Now merrily are ringing;
Be heedful of the bitter word,
The answer keen and stinging-
The sharp retort, the angry eye,
Its vivid lightning flashing;
The rock on which so many bopes
Are daily, hourly daehing.
Bear and forbear;" the only way
To tread life's pathsstogether
Then come, and welcome, shining sun,
Or come dark, cloudy weather.
Two welded hearts dissolved in one,
That csD not live asunder,
Have put Loves golden armor on
y world, look on aud wonder.

And most delicious doors
She all around her sheds
The breath Of purple clover
Upon the breezy hills;
The smell OF garden roses

Each spot she makes the brighter.
As il she were the sun,
And she is sought and cherished
