The Voting Power of the South

One of the hopeful manifes-
tations of Southern politics is
to be found in the interest
which the people there, with
ont political or social distinc-
ton, are beginning to take in
questions affecting their indus
trial development and material
progress. This is to us deeply
interesting, because the South
ern States must continue to be
in the future, as in the past, a
most important weallh-produc-
ing section of the Union. Nor
can their influence upon the
revenue policy of the nation,
as well as upon its politics, be
overeStimated. There is com
mon and dangerous sentiment
abroad which finds expression
in such utteranceS as these (:
ave are done with the South"
"That job is fnished;" "The
South is nothing" We are not
done with the South; the job is
not finished; the South is a pow
erful and vital force in the ma
ton.
The commercial tables of the
country show that the contri-
buttons of the Southern States
to our exportable wealth exceed
in value the total exports Of all
the other sections ofthe Union
combined. In addition to this,
they furnish through their pro-
auctions the basis of the most
valuable textile industries. 1t
will no doubt surprise many of
our readers to learn that in the

ADDRESS.
The present struggle of Lotus

They are crushed with the
weight OF taxes; their courts are
bat a mockery of justice, and the

cises an open and bosted control
over the Legislature.
1t is time, fellow citizens, to
assert your manhood and dignity
to cleanse the Augeah sta0les-to
re-eStablish the rule of Law and
justice, of economy and constitu-
tiomal liberty. 1t is time to put the
brand of intamy upon the brows
of those who have diShonored and
plundered Louisiana; TO eXpel
them from their high places and
make them give place to honest
and capable men-the only fit
representatives Of a free and truly
republican people.

ssGood tor This Date only

The railway ticket agents ar bother
ing their brains over the question
whether passengers may ',lay over
and resume their journey at pleasure,
or whether, when they lave once quit
ted the cars, they have forfeited their
tickets for the remainder of their
Journey. The courts have already
decided that a man who buys ticket,
as it were, between Boston and New
York, has the undoubted right to stop
at any place on the road and to re
sumo his journey at his own leisure,
without buying another ticket. The
legend, ''Good for this date only, ''has
no value in the eyes of any save rail
way officials, and the law has decided
that any action taken by conductors
with view to enforcing the implied
contract is illegal There the matter
should be allowed to rest. The pub
lie are satisfied so to leave it, and the
railway companies ought not to com
plain. If man buy ticket to Bos-
ton, and the company receives the
money for it, there is no reason why
they should refuse to carry him thith-
er, or why they should wish to force
him to do it to suit their convenience
instead of his own.

They are kept az pets, and like all

In a wild state ov nature they may
