JEFF DAVIS ON THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
The South More Cheated than Conquered
jeff Davis addressed the Southern Historical
Convention at Montgomery, White Sulphur
Springs, Virginia, Monday. He was introduced
by Governor Letcher. He returned thanks for
the welcome to Virginia. where he always felt
welcome, and whose brave men were only ex-
celled in their deeds by the bravery and devo-
ton of the women, whose zeal and heroism
throughout the war he highly praised He
spoke of the objects of the Historical Society,
and said to write true history it must be done
by Southern man who knew the facts, and
that all the material must be gathered for the
purpose in the South, so that the action of the
South in the war and the causes that brought it
on be fairly laid before mankind. He spoke of
old Jubal Early as one who was ever faithful
throughout the war and as being the proper
man TO carry out this great object. He said:
We have been more cheated than conquere d
by the declarations of federal Presidents, Con-
gress and generals, for there never could have
been a surrender had we anticipated what fol-
lowed, and we would to-day have been free.
He still had hope for the South, because what
ever the men might be he never yet had seen a
reconstructed woman, and while the men or
the day are mightier than the principles for
which they had struggled, he yet hoped that
the children who succeeded them would grow
ND to maintain and perpetuate them and re-
deem all that had been lost.

If there is one thing more than another
that the leaders of the late Democratic Con-
vention have hdeous horror of, it is COM
pulsory education. They know that an en-
tirely intelligent people would not give their
party nominees scattering vote. They
would maintain the old district system (they
spell the first syllable of the word with
double e.e'') but only permit the ordinary
people to get no more schooling than will
enable them to read the average Democratic
paper in long primer type. We would not
unnecessarily alarm these gentlemen, but
they will doubtless be greatly frightened to
know that Democratic commission appoint
ed by Gov. Randolph of New Jersey, has re-
ported in favor of compulsory education.
The commission deem that this is necessary to
ensure the moral well being of the State. Is
it an assault upon the last stronghold of De-
mocracy? Where now is the Prussian sys-
tenn?

A Nominate from the Floor.
TO THE HONEST VOTERS OF MAINE.


For reasons too plain to argue it is believed that
thousands of honest voters this State far from
being satisfied with the purposes of the candidates
of the two political parties in the field hope
less of any reform through them and to whom furth
er partizan alliance is felt to be useless and savish
sacrifice Salvation can alone come of better class
of public men, men to whom the people instructive
ly turn the types of personal honor, and whom
caucuses well nigh seem to despise.
70 refrain from voting because discouraged and
disguised with partizan reckessness is what good
citizen must longer do; and yet to get pure and I'M
selfish before the people by conventional means
seems impossible. To call them by the popular voice
is all that is left to do. Realizing this most deeply
and that not even the hamper Of personal desires
and obligations shall attach to the movement it is
determined to present in this informal way to the
people of Maine the name of the
HON. JOS. H. WILLIAMS,
OF AUGUSTA,
PEOPLES CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.

THE farmers of Illinois have undertaken a
very important enterprise which is no less
than taking the shipping of the produce OF
their land out of the hands of the middlemen
and assuming the management of the matter
themselves, To do this it is proposed to Or
ganize a capital stock company to be known
as the "Grange Shipping Association of Tolo-
no." As the name implies, this association
is intended to take the place of the middle
men and secure to the farmers the profits of
that part of the business. In other words,
they are attempting to apply the principle of
cooperation to the sale of their produce. This
experiment is in a new line and will be
watched with interest.
