The south still for Secession,


The Southern white people are
dysloya1 to the Union The pre-
tense that they respect and revere
the American flag is miserable
sham. Penn yielded to Federal
troops because he dared not oppose
force to force. It follows that the
sympathy lavished upon Southern
White League Democrats by the
Northern people, On the theory
that they war only upon SO called
carpetbag State governments, is.
misplaced. The Southern plan is
to overthrow State governments,
with view ultimately to overthrow
the Union. To regard the South
ern situation from any other stand
point is to be gulled by fatal
delusion- And why did the South
wish in 1861 to destroy the Union!
Merely because the Union would
not extend the institution Of slavery
in the new territories The cause of
disloyalty at the South is now, as
it was in 1861, the desire to estab-
lish the doctrine of property in
man. Southern White League
Democrats hate the American flag,
because it means equal rights to
black and white alike; because it
means freedom of speech and of
political action. Every White
League organization at the South
is, therefore, concerted movement
not merely to elevate Democrats to
power in a State, but to haul down
the flag of the stars and stripes and
raise in its place the flag of the
stars and bars, and that flag means
slavery. Slavery was the corner
stone of the rebel Confectionery, and
it is to a restoration of the insh
tuition of slavery that the efforts of
the Southern Democracy are all
directed to day as much as they
were directed to it's extention dur
ing the period from 1850 to 1865.
Southern Democratic journals do
not hesitate to declare that nothing
but the weakness of the South as
compared with the strength Of the
North prevents a new secession
movement. witness the following
from the New Iberia LA Sugar
Bowl:
1t is high time the South should
be plain and honest In her language
toward the North, and cease this
silly t~addle about Northern senti
ment. We must work out our own
salvation, and depend no longer
upon the broken reed Oh Northern
friendship
1.-THE South has the same moral
right to force her peculiar views
upon the North as the latter has to
force hers upon us. The only
difference is, the North is strong
and the South is weak; but that is
No reason why we should not think
as we please, and say what we think
The whole question is purely one
of interest; and if we think the
South would better herself by an
other secession, let us then fear
lessly advocate it. There are,
i however, other objects of higher
importance and more easily obtain
! ed at present, and for these we
should contend with all our might.
We believe, nevertheless, that
before another decade the two
great sections Of the Union will be
quietly and contentedly making
history for themselves under sep.
crate governments"
The 'sother objects more easily
obtained at present" are possession
of State Governments; the grand
ultimate object is the reestablish
ment of the Confederacy based on
African slavery.-Inter Ocean.

The Manchester papers have the
following:
Some engineers in Baden have

mechanism, which has already been

ings and streets of Heidelberg. The
object is to provide for the simultane-
Gus lighting Of the gaslights Of the
town. This has been done both in
Paris and with us in the Albert Hall
bv the use of an electric wire. but
the German engineers have invented
method more simple and durable
Their apparatus can be affixed equally
to all gas Jets, and it is made to act,
not by any special mechanism, but
simply by the increased pressure Of
the gas, which is always laid on from
the gasometer when the lamps should
be lighted. The one act OF turning on
the gas at the main ignites it at all the
burners fitted with the new apparatus.
In achieving this result the designers
did not really obtain any very prac-
tical advantage over the method Of
ignition by electricity Bat they
pushed the inventions still further,
and have provided that when the
pressure is diminished at the main,
the gas can either be totally extin-
guished or let down to a thread 1t
is chiefly in the lighting of the streets
of town that the invention will be of
practical use. Directly the gas is
turned on the whole city will be
simultaneously Illuminated, and when
in the early morning the pressure is
reduced the light may be totally ex
tinguished or gradually diminished.

among fair-minded men, his reputation for
personal integrity. But with that merit
goes defect that almost neutrsilizes lis
practical advantages. General Grant has

The conviction has forced itself upon those
who long held TO their belief in him. that
his natural affinity Is rather for men OF a
low order. The qualities which give men
influence with him are not those that make

the President sincerely desires his govern

know how to make IL pure. His biograph..

Magruder's, Boy.

Magruder's oldest boy came staggering
through the door of the kitchen the other
day with his face as white as the reputa-
ton of one of the early martyrs. When
his mother in great alarm. asked him what
was the matter, he said he thought he
must have caught cold somehow. But as
he proceeded to the window the next mo-
ment and began 10 permit his breakfast TO
come to light, the explanation was not re-
garded as perfectly satisfactory. and the
old lady instituted ;ni investigation upon
her own account. In the first pocket that
she explored she discovered a plug of to-
bacco from which "a mouthful had been re-
moved; and then r. the cs1ise of Henry's
illness was evident she proceeded to hunt
up Henry's father for the purpose Of got
ting him to remoDstrate with the culprit.
When Magruder arrived he went TO the
closet and selected favorite bed-slat, and
approaching Henry, he sternly asked
4" What d. You mean by chawin' ter

Msgruder, 'Nwhat are you talkin' about?

with tobacco. Ii You don't believe me

until he produced the following extract
from health journal:
- Ii is said OF the oannibals that they will
not eat the flesh of tobacco ohewer be-
cause 1t is so highly charged with the taste
and 0dor oftobacco."
When Magruder finished the paragraph
he said: .'Well, I'll let You 20 this time,
but, mind me. don't you chew that stuff
again. NoeanDibal is going to eat you
any way, and II any Of 'em come foolin'
around here, you call me and Ill smash
'em with this yer bed-slat.''
Then Henry rose from his couch and
went out to hunt for the plug Of tobacco
which his mother had tossed through the
window. Ii seems to me that those health
Journals are demoralizing things.-Mar
