THE SOUTH HANDICAPPED.
Testimony from the Republi-
 can Ranks.
No Necessity for Troops in the
 South.

WASHINGTON, April 30.-Judge Kelley, of Pennsylvania, returned from six weeks tour in the South and bears the most emphatic tes- timony against the Southern poli- cy of his own party in the last Congress. When asked tonight what he thought of the political condition of the South, he said {: "The vote l most regret, during fourteen years in Congress is that I cast last winter for the Force Bill;" he further said: "So far as his observation went, there was no more necessity for federal troops in the South than there is in Pennsylvania or Ohio"
 He talked with Confederate soldiers, Northern men, negroes, carpet-baggers and travellers and was surprised at the good feeling existing and said he should here after take little stock in Southern outragcs, especially if reported from sections he had visited. He gave an example of the feeling in the south, by relating what he saw in Augusta, Ga, being him. self unknown. On the day chosen for decorating the graves of the Confederate dead he observed the proceedings, long procession through the city, it being a general holiday, men and women were gathered to pay tribute to the memory of the dead. The principal music was furnished by the U. $. infantry band, there were no taunts, no insults, no ex- perience of i'll feeling. Kelly spent from two days to week in Richmond, Charleston, Columbia, Savannah, Jackson, Atlanta, Au- gusta and Aiken and stopped at places of less consequence; says he saw no feeling of fear or de- 'truction on the part of the peo- pie and could not see what. use 1 Shere was for Force Bills. He | was very glad he made the trip, | or 1t enabled him to understand |, he condition of the South better han he ever did before. Said it vas not kuklux ruling the South

ment tax was imposed on liquors, and millions of dollars are involy- ed. The discovery proves the miserable effectiveness of the revenue system and proves beyond a doubt that the government gaugers, storekeepers and agents have suffered themselves to be tempered with by the whisky rings. There has been large seizures made already, and no doubt more will be made. It is estimated that in the last four months the government has been defrauded out of S900,000, or at the rate of $2,700,000 per year. It is expected that many sworn officers of the service will be con- victed by disclosures which will come to light before the investi- gation is ended. The principal seizures have been made on dis tilleries and rectifying establish ments in St. Louis, Chicago and Milwaukee.

STRIKES AND THE LABOR
 QUESTION.

The present year has been re- markable for its strenuous con test between labor and capital. In all the great mining and man ufacturing districts, the strikes have been larger, more determined and even more hopeless than at any former time. Capital has found it unremunerative at the old rate of wages, and labor has refused to submit to q reduction. Strikes have been the result, and starvation, riot, crime, drunken ness and eXcesses have followed.
 The solution of the labor ques- tion is brought forcibly before us. A proper and equitable ad- justment between labor and capit- al Is a problem not easily solved. The result of strikes is seldom, if ever, beneficial to labor. Capital Is generally the winner, and even where concessions are made, the loss of time and the suffering in cured by the laborcr makes the

fst r. t THE CUBAN WAR AND THE
 SUGAR CROP.

The New Orleans Times in re- ferring to the destruction of Cuba sugar plantations, shows that the loss already amounts to. many thousands of tons of sugar, repre- senting more than $7,000,0oo since March 1st. The Times predicts that this tremendous de- struction will be bound to cause an advance in the price of sugar, and that the sugar plantations of Louisiana promise to be more profitable than ever in the history of the state. The tof sugar required in the United States is immense, being estimated at 2,000- 900, 0,000 pounds every year.

CONFEDERATES IN CON-
 GRESS.

The New York Sun, comment ing upon the affected alarm of the Grant organs on account of so many Confederate generals occu- pying seats in the next Congress, says that it should be taken as an excellent indication, instead of giving any cause for alarm; be- cause the men who ranked high in the Confederate service, were as a rule, the best representatives of the intelligence of their party ill the southern states. The Sun thinks eff the seats of every car pet bagger who disgraced the last Congress could be filled with a Confederate general in the next, the moral and political atmos- phere in the Capitol would be i'm proved beyond all measure" The conduct and sentiments expressed by prominent ex-Confederates within the past three months fully bears out the opinions of the Sun, and leaves no reason to doubt the patriotism and loyalty of this class of Congressman. Let us have peace"

whole trouble of the South arlses from financial and industrial caus- es, and believes the south will not improve and advance nntilN the Forty-fourth Congress repeals the financial legislation of the Forty third. Until the industries of the country revive and we are forced to live within our income, our condition will grow worse instead of better. As matters are going now, the Judge thinks not only the South and Southwest will be involved in ruin, but the whole country will become hopelessly insolyent. The treasury, he thinks, is already empty. Work stopping at the navy yards, on the public works, buildings, .&c, for the money has run out. Receipts don't equal expenditures, and a day of settlement is not far of. He was asked now long the treas ury wcaid nold out and answered that unless there is an improve ment in customs and internal rev enue receipts the treasury will be empty by next September.

STAY WHERE YOU ARE.

The Van Buren Press publishes a letter from an old friend of ours, Wm. H. Morrison, we'll known a few years ago as one of the popu- lar steamboat men of the Arkan- sas river. He is now in Colorado, and he states that there are the most dismal prospects ahead out there. There are ten thousand young grass-hoppers to every spear of grass, and the indication now is that the country will be completely devastated by them. He implores all who may have any notion of going to that state to abandon the idea.
 And right here we wish to ad- wise all those who are thinking of leaving Arkansas, to stay where you are. You will never find a place where you can make living easier then you can here. We have never seen a country where a man can live with as little exer- tion as they do here. And if the same industry and frugality was used by our people here, that is used by the farmers of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. we verify be- lieye our farmers would grow rich. Our advice is, give up all ram bling notions and settle down; use industry and economy and you will be certain to prosper.

victory a dearly purchased tri- umph.
 Cannot some of our great men, whose mighty minds are graphing with the abstrusc sophistries of science, join with some of our loud mouthed philanthropists who can find nothing nearer than the heather Chinee on whom to ex- pend their sympathies, and give us a solution of this question? Could not our statesmen who are wasting their prodigious wisdom over schemes for the protection ot rings and monopolies, profit the world and humanity as much by turning their thoughts to the so- lution of the labor question?
The Russellville Democrat., 1875-05-20
POLITICS AND PUBLIC
 SENTIMENT.

It is common in these days to hear men make the remark that tLey do not believe there are any honest politicians. There is so much corruption in our politics, so much political fraud, deception and rascality, and so much trading and intrigue among politicians, that many persons believe man cannot be honest and be politl- elan. So common is peculation and fraud in public officials that man scarcely expects anything else, and elevation to an office Is almost looked upon as license to steal and plunder.
 It does not necessarily follow that because man is politician he is dishonest. We see no reas- on why man could not be 6 pol itician and an honest man at the same time. And we see great reason why he should be so. If there is any sphere in life where we need honest men with snscept ible conscicnces and fine sensibif- ities. it is in official stations.
 When this matter is sifted to the bottom it will be found that public sentiment is to blame for the low moral tone of our politi- clans. Public sentiment has al lowed matters to come to the pass where we now find them, and public sentiment alone can regu- late the matter. We must elevate the moral tone of the public, and then we will arrive at successful solution of the problem how to se- cure honesty in the administration of public af- fairs. Public servants must be held to a more strict accountabil- ity. It matters not to what par ty an official belongs, if he is not honest, if he is discovered to be a rascal or thief he must meet the condemnation of public sentiment and he must be thrown overheard and his place filled by an honest man. Inefliciency and dishones- ty in office must not be counten- anced. The party mantle must not be made to cover up the dis honesties of any one. Public of iicials must be made to know that they are public servants and that the public is their master, and that they will be held to a strict accountability. We care not who he is or where we find him, if we discover an official or politician who is not . man of integrity and honor we will hold him up to the condemnation of honest men. Whenever public sentiment comes to this VIC may expect more hon esty in and among politicians.
The Russellville Democrat., 1875-05-20
REMEDY FOR CRIME.

Through the columns of the DEMOCRAT we have commented frequently upon the increasing volume of crime, the seeming in difference of the public and the inadequate protection afforded against the desperate deeds of reckless men. We allude to this subject thus often because we see, almost daily, good reason to be- lieve that crime is on the increase, and public sentiment is becoming so bluntcd, that the most heinous crimes are but one days wonder. We believe the public feeling on thls subject must be brought to a proper realization of the danger of indifference to an adequate pun ishment for crime.
 The Evening Star in a late cd itorial in which this subject is discussed, puts the pertinent
 inquiry, "Is the jury system a fraud?' The article closes with an earnest protest against an ad-  ministration of the law that makes crime pleasure, passion an ex- cuse for murder, and punishment farce."
 It is to be deplored that public sentiment has allowed justice to grow so slothful as to call for such protests as this, but it is to be hoped that not until better protec- tion is afforded life and property, by more strenuous punishment of crime, will the press of the country cease to condemn public sympathy with violation of the law.

ANOTHER editor has been shot. This time it was Col. D. R. An thony of the Leavenworth Times. It occurred at Leavenworth last Friday morning, and the shooting was done by Wm. Embry, editor of the Appeal. Col. Anthony met Embry on the steps of the opera house and after a few words the former struck the latter a se- were blow in the face, when Embry fired three shots, two of them talk ing effect in Anthonys breast, and one of them supposed to be fatal.
