EXTRACTS FROM THE
SPEECH OF HON. JOB E. STEVENSON,
Delivered at Cincinnati, Sept. a4th, 1874.


THE SOUTH.
The first thought of patriot when he turns to pub
lie affairs is the condition OF the South. From the
beginning OF the Government aye, even from the be
hardest questions to solve have been those growing
Of the peculiar institution of the South.
There was always recognized incompatbility be-
tween slavery and free Government and the wisest
and best men among our forefathers had sad mis-
gvngs as to the effect of this feature Of Southern
ciety.
Slavery eliminated in rebellion; war abolished sla-
very; peace came, and all we're tree
Then the question arose whether we should rule the
South by arms allow the people to reconstruct the
States and govern themselves
Nothing Is more obnoxious to liberty than force and
the sentiment was almost universal at the North that
the Southern people should only be allowed, but
should be encouraged and assisted, TO reform their
The war had reduced the Southern people to abject
poverty. They fought desperately and long that
when they suceumbed they were ready 70 perish.
The value Of property in the rebel States had been
reduced by the war from four billions three hundred
and sixty-three millions Of dollars to one billion
six hundred and four millions, loss Of two billions
seven hundred and ffty-nne million dollars Exclud-
ing the value Of slaves the loss OF property was one
billion one hundred and twenty-five millions
The rebel States had increased their debts one hum
dred and twenty millions and then owed two hundred
md TWENTY-FIVE millions.
The Confederate debt estimated at two billions
three hundred and iOrty-hve millions.
There were debts due in the South to merchants OF
the North estimated at three hundred millions,
max an aggregate Indebtedness Of two billions nine
sum greater thaa national debt, and billion
three hundred and seventy-two MILL on than the
entire value Of ali the property In the rebel States.
Such absolute public bankruptcy had never been
seen. Southern railroads were runl down and worn
out. Some OF them had been seized, rebuilt and re-
stocked by the Government If
In agricultural regions the people had neither capi-
ta farm stock, Implements. There great des-
tltuton There were vast regions Of the South where
the whole population was destitute, and everywhere
multitudes were without the means Of subsistence.
Bands OF marauders secured the country-robbing
and killing and spreading terror Here spectacle
Of ruin sublimey terrible that 1t moved to forget
tho oense of the sufferers and to stretch forth our
hands TO succor and relieve them.
The army dealt with guerrlllas
We declared the Confederate and State rebel debts
void. Northern merchants compounded their claims
on generous terms.
The Government released the railroads, and gave
credit.
The Government advanced large sums OF money 70
planters, and sold them mules and horses TO enable
Them TO employ freedmen and raise crops; and the
Government gave food and clothing 70 the Destitute

that party, actuated solely 10y a love of
the spoils-of the '1oaves and fishes
cannot, even by the help Of the most
abominable lying, prevent the masses from
discovering their raseality and venality, and
hurting them from power. The night has
indeed been long and dark, but the day is
dawning all over the land. The sun of
Democracy is at its meridian height
in Texas, but is just rising over the
East. Hops has been sitting with her
beautiful hands folded across her breast
looking patiently and earnestly for the
dawning of the better day. The
darkness was terrible, and the dawn
was long time coming. But now
the first flashes of light are as brilliant
as the night was dark The skies are bright.
Let Democrats be up and doing A great
work is before them. The temple Of liber-
ty has been most foulIy polluted. Let the
work of purgation commence and go on
till once more and forever the watchmen on
her battlements proclaim the unalterable
decree that hencefOrth nothing impure and
corrupt shall enter within. Then, and not
will the land he at peace and the
people rejoice once more in the fruits of
their labor

THAT SHOUT AGAIN. /.


Where are now those doubters and revi-
lers of Democracy Who said Democracy
was dead, and actually hooted at the idea
of there being Democratic party Who
asked where was the party9 Go to Con-
necticut, ye doubters, and ask if there are
any Democrats there Ask what Ingersoll
is Ask if he ran as Democrat Ask if
he is really elected Perhaps information
may be given which win throw a little
more light athwart the black night which
has been so long. Our dispatches of yes
terday show that IngersOn received pIu-
rality of six thousand seven hundred and
forty-two, and majority, over both his
competitors, OF one thousand eight hundred
and ninetv-seven It does not look like
Democracy Is dead. Again, our dispatches
of yesterday informed us that the Demo
crats were alive and doing well in Cincin
natl, having majority Of five thousand in
vote of twenty-eight thousandi Also that
they were quite we'll and jolly in Cleveland,
having gained three in council and causing
the Republicans to lose since 1872, eight
thousand eight hundred and ninety-eight
votes. That in Kansas city they were tn
umphant; alsoin ST. Joseph, they triunphed
over the sons of Africa and Radicalism COM
hned. And in St Louis they have been. at
their old fun, electing FIVE Democrats to
three Radicals and four independents for
the city council. It does really appear that
they have come to life, if they have been
dead. But such things viii happen and
we cannot console those who were cutting
up antics supposing that they CHE Demo-
crats) were dead. ''Ahl we told you 50 r
Now, Just own the truth. Exactly
as we predicted. And this is just begin
ming. What win they not do in year or
twol It would not surprise US bit If they
did not take It into their heads in 1876 to
elect one Of their number President Of the
United States. Such things did happen
years ago without the help Of Connecticut;
and nov that she too Is with the Demo
crais and actually leading the race, what Is
to prevent general sweep and q glorious
victory.
But iesting aside, these results show
"cOnclusively the popular pulse. They
show that the vast and complicated eorrup-
ton Of Radiealism loom up as towcring

Gates purc, economical, republican govern

There is a spirit of discomfort and intol-
erance which is exhibited by certain par
ties, who act upon the principle that it is
better to be an officer and leader on the
burning sands of the great Sahara Desert
than to dwell in the State as it is, contented
with the positions assigned them by a dis
eliminating public Pulled up and filed
with self-importance, they do not propose
to wait their time for promotion and posi-
ton. 1t is too slow for their. .self-conceit.
They feel sighted, and contend that their
claims have not been properly considered.
It matters not how tr1fiEg the cause Of
complaint may be. the remedy is in divis-
ion Of the STATED Now we win admit that
there may be just efuss Of complaint with a
section which has been uniformly ignored
and its interests neglected There is
such q thing as injustice to section
which may arouse the bitterest feelings and
cause, in some cases kind Of revengeful
disposition and action in spirit Of retalia-
ton. But such feelings usually give way
upon second sober thought; provided that
there is not q well grOanded cause Of Of
fense. But not sovith the would-be leaders

Barziza has presented q bin to prohibi
the employment 81 convicts by any incorpor

the bin is so apparent that / do not thinl
that Il will pass. Barziza does not seem q
have much weight here; he Is apparently
simply tolerated in the House as g Bully :
Baker is in the Senate. The members OF
both houses know well that they were mol
honestly and fairly elected, and have no
right 20 the seats they occupy, but as no
contest has been made, il is not in the pro-
vince ofthe House to eject them Mercury
Cohesion Correspondents.
As to the injustice of prohibiting the em-
ployment of convicts by any Incorporated
institution, we have nothing to say for or
against, believing that the Legislature win
act advisedly in the matter, but when the
writer holds that Mr.. Barziza has not much
weight in the House, we dissent from his
opinion altogether. On the contrary, Mr..
Barziza acts generally with discretion, and
is as influential as any member on the floor
IN having bills fayorably acted upon. From
what we have seen and heard, it sour opinion
that he.is rather favorite than otherwise.
Mr.. Baker in the Senate moves on camly
and quietly, attending to his duties without
any show or parade, but accomplishing the
business intrusted to him as well as

Senate, We have not heard Of it. AS to the
of their election, if there was fraud,
it was the duty of those who knew that
such was the case to take the necessary
steps to have them unseated; and it comes
with bad grace now to say that they were
not fairly elected. A man is held to be in

auce the evidence of their guilt or remain

A large number of our citizens Yesterday
signed the memorial TO the Texas Legisla-
ture, published in the Times Of Sunday
morning. Copies have also been sent into
the country and to DeSoto parish. We
take this occasion again to urge, not the
importance of the movement, for that is
understood by everybody, but the vital
importance of promptness of action. The
press OF Texas is now nearly unanimous in
advocacy Of the measure; the people of
Texas are warmly in favor of it, and the
Legislature of that State is ready to act.
If the present feeling in our State is not
takcn 1vantage Of by us, the deep and
cordial interest in the matter now EXPRESS
ed viii die out, and it is not probable that
we will again be able to fully arouse it.
The Texas Legislature will probably ad-
journ on the fifteenth instant and if we ex-
pect to accomplish anything, our memorial
must be presented before that body without
delay. Let every man then promptly sign
it. If there is not copy in his neighbor-
hood, let him ride to where there is one
This is not politics; it Is business. The
accomplishment of the end will be wealth

man say l will sign tomorrow. OF this af-
tenoon. Let every one in favor of annex
alton, so soon as he sees this notice, walk
right into a drug or book store, or into one
of the banks and sign his name. The me-
mortal should go before the Legislature of
Texas signed by every man in the two par
hes.-ShTersport Times.
We are pleased to see so much interest in
the proposed annexation of Caddo and De-
Soto parishes. 1t speaks well for Texas.
It shows how she is appreciated IN neigh
boring State, where, if there were any Sc
rious disadvantages, they would be knowh
State pride and the love of political associa-
ton would, other things being equal, deter
her citizens from wishing to sever their
connection with the old Stale, if it were
not under the full belief that their condi-
ton viii be very greatly improved. And
we have no doubt that it will be- Texas is
no longer cursed with carpet-bag govern
ment and ruin, financially, politically, so.
cially and morally. The people are fIee
once more to choose their own officers, and
to keep house for themselves. The govern
ment at Washington at last comedies that
State is sovereign, and that Congress cannot
interfere in her internal arrangements.
But poor Louisiana was made to suffer most
foully before this reserved right was fully
accorded and hence her citizens can better
their condition by uniting with Texas.
Their interests are identical and Louisiana
can very well afford to let these two coun-
ties go, as it will only be in accordance with
the wishes of the people. Their annexation
will make the line between the two States
much straighter and more satisfactory.
Then if Texas can only get small slip of
Southwestern Arkansas, our great State
viii assume more magnificent proportions.

course do their part

GEoLoeY.--From communication taken
from the ttAAs STATESMAN, it will be seen, among
other appointments made by the State Geoi-
ogist, that Prof. Richard Buries6Fl OF Waco
University is first assistant. We are glad 70
note this tribute to Prof. Burleson's worth
and ability, for as learned and accom-
plished scholar, both in geology, natural
science and general scholarly attairments
he has but few equals in the State, and we
are sure that whatever may fall TO his share
in developing the now hidden resources of
our great State will be well and thoroughly
done. Waco Adcdnce
The above is very complimentary to Prof.
Burleson, and shows that the State Geolo-
gist, Prof Buckley, has exercised sound
judgment in his selection. Col. Gerald is
too honest and bold to iatter II he did not
believe that he deserved such tribute.
