The SeandaIOus Rule Of Ignorance and
Corruption I'm the Southern States.

Corruption I'm the Southern states.
1t is impossible for Northern people to
understand the terrible corruption at the
South, which is still kept alive by a careless
or designed use of the patronage and politi-
cal influence at Washington. We have or
ganized society at the South upside down.
Ignorance and crime override intelligence
and decency. The great educational, tinan-
cial, commercial, charitable and political in
teTests Of the States are entrusted to COM
mon field hands of the South and unprinci-
pied adventures from the Northl Can you
wonder that these people desire to free
themselves of this tyranny and corruption9
Such a state of things is contrary to nature,
Gods laws, and all the teachings and the
wisdom of mankind. Such governments
are the most grotesquc travesties; they
command no respect from black or white /;
they are a scandalous disgrace to them and
to us. And does it help us of the North in
any way to have lot of men, the natural
product of this condition of things, sent
into the halls of Congress to legislate for us,
there to become the tools of bad men, and
ready to combine with vicious elements from
the North and Westl 1t certainly is of
some consequence to us that the twenty
four Senators or eighty or more Representa-
tives from the South should be clean and in
telligent men. We can have them reasona-
bly, so if we desire; but not by sustaining
the present state of things. Boston AdDer-
tiscT.

NAPOLEON, after having observed to
Madame Campan that the old system of
children's education was bad, inquired
what she considered wanting to make Il
good. Mothers" was the reply. As
women are the first, and perhaps the most
influential teachers, we must have good
mothers, if we would secure good teachers
With them rests the tuition of the heart, SO
much more important than that of the head.
Sentiment proceeds intelligence; and it has
been well observed by the authoress of a
deservedly popular work, that the earliest
which responds to the maternal caress, is
the first lesson in the affections. Mothers
were meant by nature to inspire virtue, even
when they do not directly seek to teach it,
and they will rarely 60 wrong when they
follow their maternal impulse.

IT was not until 1856 that herd Of Texas
or Mexican cattle was driven North over the
divide between the Arkansas and the
South Plato rivers. During that season
Col. Williams-Who had never lost sight Of
the advantage offered by Colombo for cas-
tie missing, drove 1900 head Of Mexican
cattle over the ssdivider He net with
fierce and hostile opposition from the set
tiers in the valley south Of Denver, but
when Williams offered them gor3 cows and
calves for one-third the price they had been
used TO pay for them, the settlers soon
ceased their opposition and themselves be-
came purchasers Of Williams cattle. Since
that time constant stream Of Mexican cat
tie has been pouring into Colorado, so that
st this time the number Of cattle in eolora-
do is estimated at from $50, 900 to 200, GOO
head, and AZ least half Of these dre natives
or half-breed cattle. - Cattle TRAIL
