Tie SOUTHERN STATES.-Thc painful fact
remalus that the condition of affairs 10 Arkan-
Sas is a misfortune to that State, sad evidence
of disagreement, Of crime, folly, corruption
and shame; but it is only another in the series
of scandals that have marked reconstruction 10
the South since the close Of the war. We have
closed the war, but We have not made peace.
Chaos remains, but chaos is not reconstruction
The major general has been withdrawn, but the
adveuturer has taken his place. Military Sc
verify has been succeeded by uDtrammelled
liceuse. The natural leaders of the South are
distrauchised, banished, silent, dead. The new
rulers have gone, like the English to India or
the Spanish to Cuba, to wiring wealth out of
the people, and leave when enriched. Splendid
States like Arkansas, Louisiana and the Caro-
linas, rich in natural resources, climate and all
the blessings that nature can bestow, are plun-
dered. They have no enterprise, no growth,
no prosperity, no encouragement to industry or
enterprise, no security at home, no credit
abroad. 1t is indeed a sorry sight, a disgrace
to our Republic more marked even than Po-
land or ireland. Poland has government
which keeps the peace aud protects property,
and Ireland is ruled by men who may dispise
her history, her traditions and her hopes, bur
who do not plumber the treasury and Cypress
the people Tor their personal gain. York

SIX VICTIMS NEAR PITTSBURG.

muet, his wife, two children, a hired man, and
boy whom they were raising, six persons in
all, were burned to death. But two recognizable
bodies were found. A special says it is almost
certain the entire family were murdered, and
suspicion rests upon man in their employ on
the place. Que of the bodies found among the
ruins showed that the throat had been cut.

ALEXANDRIA,, Va.
FRIDAY, MAY l, 1874.

Senator Window, of Minnesota, 10 his speech
before the Senate, Oh cheap transportation,
makes the following startling statements: mat
the value Of commodities moved by the Hall
roads in 1872 is estimated at over ten thousand
millions of dollars, and the gross receipts OF
railroads 10 moving the same reached AIS NIL
lions of dollars, and that some conception OF the
immense trade carried on upon the Northern
Lakes may be formed from the fact that during
the entire season of navigation 10 1872 an ave
rage of one vessel every nine minutes, day and
night, passed Fort Gratiot Light House, pear
Port Huron, and 1t is probably safe. to say that
the value of our internal commerce Is ten umes
greater than our trade with foreign nations.
