THE SOUTH WANTS PEACE.

We took occasion to state recently that We
regarded the present time as one fraught with
many dangers to the South, and warned oul
people that every act of theirs would be seized
upon by Radical demagogues, and twisted into
capital for the next campaign. We have seen
enough of Radical politicians to know that
they stop at nothing when they desire to a .
tain an object which is deemed essential to
the success Of the party. We have witnessed
the workings of the most diabolical plots con-
cocted to bring on conflicts between the
whites and negroes in the interest of the car
pet-baggers. We have heard men infiame the
passions of the negroes by ingenious lies,
violence which could be manipulated into
capital by the designing white leaders Of the
Radical party.
There has never been conflict between the
whites and negroes that was not used crust.
ingly against the whites by ingenious distor-
ton of the facts, and no sane man can believe
for one moment that the white people of the
South desire these conflicts, in which, how
ever terrible the outrages, or however diaboli-
cal the conspiracies that caused them, they
are always made to bear the blame and shout
der the consequences, by the Northern peo-
pie and hostile and tyrannous General Gov
eminent. The people here earnestly desire
peace, and they intend to have it at whatever
cost short of dishonor and degradation. The
spirit which animates the Radical party
South may be gathered from perusal of the
columns of the Republican, which are
illed with the bitterest revllings of
southern white people, and in which
ire cunningly misrepresented and
distorted every occurrence out Of which
,apital can be manufactured. According to
his veracious chronicler, the negroes are all
mild, tender, innocent doves. who would not
larm butterfly, much less seek to commit
,1trages upon the whites; while the whites
re all 6ends, going about seeking what
legroes they may devour. That paper,
dited by white men, can consent to SANDER
nen of their own race, in order to win the
otes and support of the negro and fire the
Iorthern heart against the South, is almost
Incredible, and is an evidence Of the depths
D which those descend who follow the fortunes
+ the Radical party.
In every instance, thus far, the negroes
ave been clearly in the wrong, and we have
o sort of doubt that the affair at Clinton was
rought about through the agency of the
hite leaders Of the negroes, who see the
ssperate position of the party and know the
alue of a riot Our people can not be too
,reful to avoid conflict. They should c
ear much, and only resist when life is at
axe. They should conduct themselves as e
d the people of Georgia and the citizens OF !

The guano deposits on the Peruvian islands,
which have been supposed to be almost mex
haustible. are beginning to give out already.
Such, at least, has been the report from that
part of the world for some time past, and now
letter has been received from the captain of
vessel engaged in the trade by an Eastern
fertilizing company, which says:
The good guano is exhausted lat Pabellon
de Plea, and what the vessels had to take in
May and June last when the letters were writ
ten, was mixed with stones and gravel to the
extent of from 20 to SO per cent. The engineers
in charge of the work were then blasting and
burrowing among the rocks in search of more
guano said to be under them, and had to sup
ply the ships with the dross given. The rocks
had also to be swept Over 100 vessels had then
arrived Oft the coast, for there is no harborage,
and some OF them had lain three months wait
ing for their loads. Some of the vessels had
refused to take such rubbish as cargoes
unless on the authority of the
Peruvian Government contractors and
these contractors, it was rumored, had OBJ
tanned discount of 40 per cent on the re-
mainder Of their contract, in consideration of
the dross they had to take. number of
vessels had gone to another part of the coast,
where guano was said to be more plentiful
Lobe's Point, about seven miles distant from
Pabellon-but there they Jared worse and
had to lie in Deep open water, where the
swell was SO heavy that the lighters out of
which they loaded we're continually getting
smashed, and the ships themselves were losing
anchors and chains. There were fourteen
anchors and chains lost in two weeks, and
there was no compensation for this-the
guano there being as bad as at the other place.
The statements of this officer seem to be
confirmed by many others from equally relia-
bic sources This discovery can not fail to
strike q hard blow at the credit of Peru, she |
having relied very strongly of late upon her
guano security" in negotiating loans in

first degree, and sent to Jail to-day.
Mrs. Siyels, the main witness, was pre-
sent at the time of the murder, and
testifies that it Was premeditated and
cold blooded. This fact wac not known
to the Jury of inquest. The evidence
the prisoners gave, which | reported
to you. was all false. 1t was given to

THE indications are pretty plain that
Grant will be the Radical candidate
and his platform-hard money and an
ti-Popery. His candidacy will be a
bitter pill to many of his party, but he
has the power to force his nomination,
and no Radical will be bold enough to
refuse to support him. We honestly
believe that this is to be the programme
and that it will require harder work
than Democracy ever did before to de-
feat him. With an army of depend
cut, abject offieehOlders, and the vari-
Gus mOnopolies fighting their own bat
tie while fighting Grants, is cornbi-
nation of immense power-toO power
full, we fear, to be successfully resisted
by the decimated army of patriots with
it its thousands Of nominal allies who
are too poor or too kHavish to resist
the temptation of little money in ex-
change for less valuable vote. This
is a dark picture of liberty in its
hundreth year, but its early vigor of
Intellect has succumbed to dOtage and
It's pristine integrity is in the pltrid
fermentation.

Who is there SO lost to fashion and to taste,
That would deny there is a gentle grace
In all the sweet movements downward
from the waist,
To the feet of the fair ones of our race,
Who are quick to discern
The beauties in each turn
OF the skirt that's not slack
To heed the loud mandate,
Pin 'em back.
Which are so prone with impudence to gaze,
And join with those who have the right to
demand
implicit obedience to women's ways
Which're so charming in taste,
Ready to grasp In haste
The wisdom they shouldn't lack,
That teaches them how to
Pin 'em back.
It is foliy-not the fashion mean-
The sage little goddess of dress to grieve
With ugly derision provoked at the scene
Oftightskirts which do wond 'rously relieve
Anxieties so pressing
TO appear in dressing
Fleet ones running the track,

When gentle mother Eve with Adam did
stroll
Adown the green aisles OF Eden's rosy
bow'rs,
Her wits she employed, and with ease did
control
! The Light of her life with the might of her
pow'rs.
And upon dress intent,
To their wardrobe they went,
/ Together fig leaves did tack
Exquisite costume with
Pin 'em back.
Now with proof tits plain the beautiful
fashion,
Though young was fostered at the creation.
And justly lays claim to age for its passion
To indulge TO create u sensation.

RUG Of New York to convert Virginia

that the purchase Of newspaper,

SPECULATION is still rife as to the
causes Of the Democratic defeat in
Ohio. Some impute it to the currency
question, some to the school and anti
POpery issue raised by the Radicals,
but we think a glance at the figures
will show a reason different from
either. 1t is published that Allen re-
ceived q, 1900 more votes when defeated
than when elected, and ifthis be true, it
is clear that the Radicals must have
gained $1,000 votes in order to give
them a majority of 5000. Now add
the gains together, and we have a legit-
innate growth of the popular vote of
l6l 600, but as this unprecedented
growth, in so short a time. is not even
asserted, the only fair inference is that
the election as reported is a huge
swindle, consummated by colonizing
voters or stufhng ballot boxes.

THE Infamous tyranny of Radical
ism over the South we'll nigh ruined
the entire section, morally, intellectu-
ally and financially. But as the native
nobility and energy of true Southern
character asserted themselves, the ma
tive meanness of the carpet dagger and
scallawag weakened in the presence of
superior, and by degrees, patriotic
craftsmanship exerted its ennoblirg
influences until constitutional govern
meut was partially restored throughout
our borders and peace and prosperity
began to smile upon the desolation ere
ated by war and tyranny. During the
horrors OF bayonet rule the South
would have been almost depopulated
but for the fact that the people had
nowhere to go and nothing to go with.
Now mark the multiplying manifesto
tions of retributive justice. Radical
ism still rules the North with iron
hand. That section is the source of
all the woes of the South; it is the
centre around which wealth has gath
cred in profusion, and where corrupt
power is expending its baleful curses
upon religion and virtue, prosperity
and happiness. 1t is reproducing the
history of the Middle Ages, when the
wealthy few were the absolute masters
of the impoverished millions, and to-
day, man for man, there is more abject
poverty and privation in the North
than can be found in the South, yet the
former is the architect of its own mis-
fortunes and ruined itself in the effort
to ruin its neighbor.

Quick Time by the Fast Mail.

One evening last week the engine
drawing the fast mail train east of
Cleveland became disabled, which
caused delay of two hours and thir-
ty-seven minutes. A portion of the
time was made up between Cleveland
and Toledo, but the major part was
gained between here and Chicago.
The train was taken by Engine No 70,
Martin Squires. engineer from Toledo
to Elkhart, 1874 miles, in three hours
and five minutes. At Elkhart, En-
CINE "A, Martin Hunt, engineer, was
in readiness, and the change being
quickly made, the train was whirling
away faster than ever toward Chicago,
1O1 miles away. This was made in
two hours and thirty minutes, or a
total Of five hours and thirty-fve
minutes from Toledo to Chicago.
The time is simply Unprecedented
