THROWING PROSPERITY OF THE SOUTHERN
STATES. Whatever differences of opin-
ION may prevail respecting the future
prospects of the rest of the country,
there can be no doubt that the Southern
States are now in more prosperous
condition than they have been OF any
period since tht. commencement of the
war. The final withdrawal of the Fed
eral authority, or rather of the carpet
bag governments, and the res
toration of the old principle of
State control have been attended by
the happiest results. Arkansus and Lou
isiana, which were longest deprived of
the privilege of self-government, bank
ruptcy and civil war seemed to be immi-
nent only few months ago. But now
party animosity appears to have died
out, and from both States we have the
most encouraging reports. EVERYTHING
Is serene and prosperous so prosperous.

The Gold Hill News of the 10th makes
a good suggestion that will apply equally
well to this place:
No person who has ever been around
the large mines and mills in this section
can have failed to notice the number of
applicants for work that frequently be-
siege those places. So many strangers
necessarily make these applications, to
whom some one around the premises
must describe the Foreman and Super
intendent, that it would, we think, be
good idea to have large photographs OF
those gentlemen, taken in both dress
and working clothes, and posted in some
conspicuous place in the buildings. The
bosses might urge, in opposition to the
plan, the fact that this would only give
applicants better chance to worry them
to death-an argument that will not hold
good, because if man is determined to
see boss, he will interview everybody
until he gets description of and sees
| the right man. The benefit to be gained
can easily be seen when the annoyance
and time lost by employees in answering
| questions is taken into consideration.
1t would seem that Southern editors
have their little troubles too:

to having produced bis wife's injuries,
and says that it was accidental. His
story is that be bought the acid and

LOUISVILLE, KY, October ia
correspondent, referring to the sales
of pure bloods 10 the Blue Grass re-
gion, states that never before in the
history of shorthorn cattle has there
been so large a crowd and SO inter-
esting a sale as the grand one at
Vinewood. North, South, East and
West were represented in full force,
while Great Britain was not wanting
in spirited bidders, as the result at
tests. Forty-four native cows and
heifers brought S5S,2lG, and twenty
imported ones S5l 225, a to:al for
cows of Sl09, 435. Four native bulls
sold for Sl.7l5, and FIVE imported
ones for $4,000; a total for bulls Of
$l4,0l5. The total for se~venty-three
animals Ia S24,450. With the ex-
ception Of the New York Mills sale,
this is considered the greatest ever
made on our continent, and places

We ARE not TO enmber our columns
with puzzling rows of figures rela-
tive to the Ohio election, suffice it TO
say We have carried the State by flee
fho0send majority, after the Gercest
fight aud the best contested struggle
ever made in Q State campaign. The
Republicans of Ohio made 2 gallant
tight, aud won q decisive yistcrg, in
the face Of odds that looked fearful
at the outset. With the Democrats
in control Of the State, which they
had outrageously gerrymandered,
with the current of last years Demo-
cratic victories running breast high
against them, with the panic and the
financial troubles OF the country
charged upon them as the responsible
party in nationsl power, with a Sc
ductive but rascally proposition 10
the people to vote themselves Wore
greenbacks, the intell.vs itc.Lbli-
licans of the Buckeye State steadily
stood their ground, end bv a gallant
rally triumphantly carried the State,
electing not only their Governor and
Lieutenant Governor, but also secur.
ing decisive msjorities 10 both bran
ches Of the Legislature.
This victory in Ohio against such
tremendous odds is an assurance Of
success in Pennsylvania, bnt we must
follow the example Of III brethren IN
that State and deserve our triumph
by winning it. IAs Democrats of
Pennsylvania deliberately stabilized
themselves, and risked their all to
sustain their imitation friends in Ohio,
and they have lost. Their imbecile
folly has disguised thousands of their
party friends and driven them from
the support Of their State ticket.

FAITH IN THE GOVERNMENT.

The speaker next referred to the
cry against bondbolders, and showed
the credit due them for coming forth
with their money, by which great aid
was given in the suppression of the
rebellion. 1t was the patriotism OF
citizens to do this, and the good peo-
pie of other countries, Germany, for
instance, aided us, having faith in
the honesty and integrity of the
American people. The Republican
party was compelled to enact a law
that the Indebtedness of the Govern
ment must be paid to the uttermost
farthing. If it is the duty of the in
dividual to pay his honest debts, is it
less the duty of a Government to do
so? We, as a nation, are in advance
of the civilized world in thought and
action, and we cannot afford to be
discrediled as the Democratic party
would do. 1t was a rebellion aided
and countenanced by the Democratic
party that piled up the debt upon US
aud increased taxation. Republicans
do not like to pay taxes any more
than do Democrats, but the Democ-
racy might have lessened the burthen
at least one half.
Now the question is, to which par
ty can the Government ost safely
be entrusted? The wal brought upon
US a debt of 2,709 millions, and the
Republican party party has by wise
legislation reduced it to 1900 mil
lions, or over ten millions in ten
years. The taxes have been reduced,
and now nearly the whole of the in
ternal eel is produced from
whisky and tobacco. If the Repub-
lican party is allowed to continue
the taxation will be still further re-
duced by the funding of the debt to
at least four per cent, thus saving
interest and by all othe; available
means.
