FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS.-Th
portion oftoWn surrounding the railroad
depot is about to receive an addition of
at least four now houses. Gross &
Bro. have the framework of a grocery
store already up; Mr.. Sims, formerly
OF Madison, is having lumber hauled
for a store adjoining Gross d Bro; Mr..
Dooner is making preparations to erect
a hotel on DeSiard street, fronting the
depot, and Mrs. Belknap, we under
stand, intends building boarding
house just south of the depot. The
Morcy hOnse has been rented, we learn,
by Mr.. Hewson, who will convert it
into q hotel.
The nineteen acres purchased at the
Hart sale by Capt. w. w. Farmer, has
been laid out by him into town lots
and he purposes having the streets
worked at once. When the railroad
gets its shops in full operation, this
property will be, no doubt, in consider
able demand.
Mr.. Layton has had six squares laid
out in his plantation opposite and be-
low Major Bry's saw-mill. This is
very desirable property, and will very
soon, if offered at reasonable price,
be taken up by good citizens.
Judge Caldwell is building resi-
Iencc on the northwest corner Of the
square until recently entirely in Major
Bry's enclosure. Mr.. Robert Ray, Jr.,
is building Il residence on the vacant
lot just above the railroad at the river
crossing. Mr.. Muir has erected a neat
little office near the old ice house.
All about town private enterprise is
pushing forward improvements. Only
the public interests arc wanting atten-
ton. Nothing is doing to build a
wharf; or toward building a bridge over
the river in conjunction with tho rail-
road; or toward laying the foundations
for a trade up the bayous, or along the
railroad. Our capitalists and property
holders are like those of New Orleans:
they rely too much upon natural adj
Vantagcs and upon foreign capital and
industry.

the laws passed by Congress for pre-
serving the rights and lives Of peace
full and law-abiding citizens are
proscriptive, whatare the whippings,
mutilations, shootings, drownings
and hangings of innocent persons,
whose only crime is their attachment
to the Union? In urging chat the
South be let alone, the sympathizers
with lawlessness make use OF the
same argument advanced by the
rebels during the war. Let US alone,
said they, and there will be peace.
Peace then meant disruption Of the
Union; does it mean anything much
different now? In the loyal States
opinions on all questions are freely
and fearlessly expressed. When the
same is true of the ex-insurgent
States, the whole country will be at
peace. All arguments based on laws
Of trade are fallacious, 80 long as the
intolerance of one section renders
true union impossible. The people
of the States lately in rebellion are
merely invited to an equal participa-
ton in the government. That they
do not enjoy this privilege is the
result Of their own actions.-Ne'o
York Times.

ton of affairs In the city Of New
York:
Democrats here in this Democratic
city stand back like towards, waiting
in line with thieves, repeaters, crib
keepers, burglars, murderers and
prison-birds, to see who is at man
to represent, not the people, but Bill
Tweed, Peter B. Sweeney, Slippery
Dick Connolly, and few other own
ers Of mahogany barns, rosewood
hog pens, and veneered palaces filed
with furniture charged to and paid
for by the city. Under the manage
ment Of our present city officials the
credit Of the city is not worth 30
much as the promise of a blackleg or
drunken fish-monger. For they
will keep their word, while the head
sachems Of Democratic Tammany,
claiming to own the city OF New
York, live by lying, thrive by trick
cry, fatten in corruption, cheat their
supporters, victimize the public, rob
the taxpayers, steal from every fund
they handle, and pay audited claims

When There Will he Peace
at the SOuth.

The policy urged with reference to
the States lately In rebellion by the
Democratic party is that Of laissez
faire. ''Let them alone" say they,
land they will work out their own
reformation" The line of argument
pursued IL that sufficient time has
not elapsed since the close Of the war
to convince the South that 1t needs
Northern capital, energy, and perse-
verance for the purpose Of develop
ing Its resources and increasing its
wealth. The South is In great need
Of many things which the North
alone can supply, and eventually it
will not be blind to the advantages
Of Northern emigratien, and a ming
ling Of the people will bring a peace.
full solution of the question that so
long vexed the nation.
The argument does not go far
enough. Provision Is made for
Northern capital, energy, and perse-
verance, but none for Northern opin-
ion. Capital, energy, and persever-
ance are wanted, but not opinions.
1--WE will receive all that the North
Offers" say the South (which will
enable us to recover our position
previous to the rebellion-to increase
our wealth and develop our country,
and in return the Northern capitalist
and elnigrant must receive our
political opinions, and aid us polite
ally as well as financially"
The political character OF the South
IL one OF intense intolerance. 1t was
so before the war, and at the close of
It the leaven Of secession remained.
That it now leavens the whole lump
is due to the sympathy Of the Demo-
cratic party. This party, which
encouraged the rebellion, now en-
couragcs the acts of violence which
are of daily commission in most of
the late rebellious States. The DEM
ocratic party n almost as much TO-
blame as the perpetrators Of the out
RACES. Itisdue to Its sympathy that
the South Is not ct peace.
The apologists for the rebels Of the
nouth denounceHall laws passed for
the preservation Of rights, property,
and life as .'persecution," and say
that no long as this course IL pursued
the country will not have peace. II

ers, our county will become richer
and money abundant; if they raise
the same amount of produce and buy
foreign manufactured articles, the
bulk of the money all goes out of the
country, never to return, and times
cannot but be hard and money scarce.
The fact is that not less than 500, 600
has gone out of Jefferson county
within the last year, for articles that
can be and are manufactured Mt
home. If this 500, 900 were now in
the hands Of our people money would
not now be, "very scarce" Is not
the question how to keep this money
at home an important one, and is
not this something to think about !?
