AUSTEN SOUTH.

Mr.. Blaine and his set, the more
moderate faction Of the Radical party.
while they disavow feelings of hostility
to the South and disapprove OF any
further legislation of the reconstruc-
ton pattern, affect to believe there is
danger to the country from the united
front our people present. MIR. Blaine
10 longer talks SO much about treason
and rebols as about undue sectional
preponderance. He warns the North
ern people that there is danger that
the South sill, ere long, shape and
control the destinies of the nation no
less the Northern people shall vrte
solidly with the Radical party.
Il would doubtless be far better for
the whole country if sectional unity
was not necessity for the South. 1t
is literally true of us that united we
stand, divided we fall. And who is to
be blamed because We are thus united
Who has forced this necessity upon
US. and against what have we united =?
It is the Radical party that has done
this thing. We have been outraged
and oppressed by that party to such
an extent that it would be little short
| of miracle if We had not united in a
| common defense. The fight has been
| against bad laws and bad government
administered by ba men. Why then
| should not the white people Of the
South be unit for the Democratic
| party Indeed, would it not be well
if the whole country were thoroughly
united in opposition TO the outrages
committed by the Radical party upon
| their liberties and their Constitutional
rights?
Mr.. Blaine and his set may say what
they please, the South will ever seek
to pr sent an unbroken front so long
as the rights of the States ard of their
citizens are in danger But is NIr.
Blaine honest in deprecating so great
unaniruity OF sentiment among us, or
has he suddenly walked to the dar-
| ger therefrom when he finds thas
unanimous sentiment is against III
stead of being in favor of his party es
heretofore? Time was, if we mistake
not, when there was as much unity at
the South as there is now, but did Mr..
| Blaine or any other member of his par
ty raise his warning voice and bid his
| fellow citizens beware of the danpt r
that was impending over the country ?
Or is it that Southern unity is dan
gerous when in favor of the Democratic
party and harmless when in favor of
the Republican party? AS the St.
Louis Republican well and truly
SAYS:
As long as the Southe, States ali
voted, or were made to vote, the Re
publican ticket, Mr.. Blaine found no
fault with Southern unity; that was &
sectlonallsm SO highly commedable as
TO warrant being maintained by all
manner of artificial appliances and
even now, if the Republicans could
devise some not very unreasonable
scheme to transfer the entire Southern
vote to their party, there is not shad-
ow OF doubt that it would have Speak
er Blalne's hearty approval It is not
the Southern unity, SO much as tie
loss of that unity to his party, that
troubles the eX-Speaker.

ONE OF GRA>Y,% LAST

The Philadelphia Times gives the
following account of Mr.. John Cessna,
of Pennsylvania, one of the Presidents
latest appointments, Ii says:
Cessna Is in. He stands a little low
in the class, being, we believe, about

Congressman, who have had their re-
| ward in tie shape of official crumbs

bome--tretch. He was quite late ge'-
ting into the Republican party-in-
| deed he got ia about the time thar
som" better men began to think OF
getting out, bnt he made up in eucrgv
what he lost IN yehra, He WAS II
protnineut capGidate for Governor be-
fore the Democratic State Convention
Of 1868, and had he been nominate d
| the President would now be Just
one short III dilapidated Congress-
! men to be provided Tor; but he wasn't
| nominated and he entered the Repab-
| i1can party year or so thereafter and
| became most importuna'e ca'.d idate
| about the same time. Having been
| elected to Congress ia 1868 in the
| Presidential tide, he managed t So
| represent his district as to be beaten
III 1870 by EIr. Meyers, but he com
| passed third nomination and went
| through again in the Greeley break
down of 1872. In 1874 he so distract
| ed the party in fruitless effort 20 BE-
nominated fourth time, that a Dem
| ocrat was elected by over !, 600 i'll the
| face of 1000 Republican majority
Such record, strengthened by the
| most super -erviceable devotion to pow
| er, naturally made Mr.. Cessna aprime
| favOrite with the Administration,
andr when he led the party in
| the House on the Arkansas in
| fanny against the protest of Dearly
| every Republican of national repute for
trusted leadership, he had but to be
borne on his battered shield to the
White House and have his wounds
healed. He is now Assistant Attorney
General OF the United States, and he
will i'll the bill with rare success. He
| is not only good lawyer, a quality
that has long been needed about the
Attorney Generals Office, bnt he is a.
first Glass politician, according to the
Administration standard. He has
| brains, aud. if the novelty of such a
| possession IN Washington circles shall
| not embarrass him, he will be the most
| usefui heuchmau the President can CON
mand. He will reorganize the Outrage
| Mill whenever the necessity arises, and
will furnish unfortunate colored
brethren drawn, quartered or toasted
| to order to fire the Northern beart, TO

tere-ts of his Chief. And he wilt go

One who has travelled through a

the temperance crusade, things have
gone on about as usual. Those who
want drink can get it. In many
towns the temperance legislation has

At Greensboro recently Judge Dick
declined to express any opionion as to
the cepstitutionality of the Civil
Rights bill-balieving such a course
premature-but expressed a concur
renee in the construction of the law
adopted by the Ohio courts. He holds
TO the opinion that the act gives the
coIored man no rights in this State
that he did not possess under the old
statute laws, with the exception of trial
in the Federal Courts, if he go elect
He Was positive as to tho right Of the
State to regulate the marriage ques-
ton; aud held that the law only ap-
piled to railroads, steamboats,, hotels
and theatres, and did not necec sarily
place negroes and whites together in
these, but only entitled the colored
man to the same accommodation as the
white man if he can afford it. Sepa-
rate apartments aud coaches could he
designated for each race. and neither
could infringe upon the rights of the
other. This is substantially AS the

Ihe Oldest aWyerin the World.

The Oldest lawyer in the country,
and perhaps in the world, is the Hon.
Ebert Herring, of New York, who
has celebrated his ninety-eighth birth
day. He remembers New York when
he city did not extend mach beyond
Ann street, and when the best people
resided below Wall street, and when
Bridewell Jail stood on the site of the
City Hall, and when the city was rot
half the size of Newark. Mr.. Herring
has lived in New York for more thar
ninety years, was admitted to the Bar
in l79c,an was a judge of the Marine
Court the year Napo con became EN-
peror of France Charles O'Conor.
now an old and illustrious man, was a
student in his Office. Mr.. Herring
was also Commissioner of Indian al
fa,rs-the first that beld the position.
The presence of man like Mr.. Her
ring among us, who lived in a world
which seems to have rolled into a dis
tant past, is poetic illustration of the
centennial time upon which we have
fallen. Lives like these are monu-
ments and should be cherished.

The important duty of selecting
suitable Delegates for the Constltu-
tional Convention now devolves upon
the people. These delegates, AS our
esf eemed contemporary, the Statesvllle
Landmark wei says, should be select
ed with the reference, exclusively, to
Capacity, information, experience IN
pubic affairs and solid patriotism, or
it wouId be better there should be no
Convention. Remember this: No de-
cent. fit man will thrust himself upon
his fellow citizens as candidate for
delegate, but will wait for mis- services
to be called for. The man whose fit
ness for the great work to be done Is
SO doubtful that his neighbors DO not
readily perceive it, should be content
to stay at home. To the PEOPLE the
duty of selecting the wisest. safest
and best man amcng them should be
left; and the PEOPLE should fully az
preciate that 1t is their duty to select
Oniy such.

The Shelby Banner declares lts
choice for the next President of tbs
United States to be Senator MATTHEW
". RAxso31, ''the peer in statesman
ship, patriotism and wisdom Of any
man in the Nation" He has, says It
Banner, "doue more for the good Of
the whole country and especially for
the South than ali the combined wis
dom and cooperation Of her honored
statesmen since the war. His late
speech in the Senate on Southern
.4ifairs and in behalf Of the down-trod-
den South is the grandcst piece of ora
tory extant."
We heartily concur with our es-
teemed cotemporary in thinking Sen4-
tor RANSOM fully qualified to fill thu
Office of President of the United States
with the highest honor to himself and
the greatest benefit to the whole coun
try, but the time has not yet come
when Southern man can hope to &C
cupy that position. For years YET
Southern men cannot hope to hold any
Office that requires the suffrages of the
voters OF the Northern States. This
being true beyond all question, we
think it inexpedient to urge the claims
of any Southern man for either place
on the Presidential ticket, no matter
how pre-eminent his qualifications
may be and in this view Of the case,
we have reason to know that Senator
Ransom himself fully concurs, as does
Senator GORDON, of Georgia, who has
been spoken of in connection with the
nomination for Vice President on tIie
Democratic ticket in 1876.

tracs from a very interesting sketch
Of the above distinguished ivine.

vas born in the city of Baltimore, De-
cenber h, 1920. He grauattd at
Dickinson college, PENNSYLVANIA, III
1889 In bis twentieth yar he was
made General Agent of thAmerican
Bible Society, and chose NTH Caro-

THE Hon. B. F. Wade has deciin ed
to be the Republican candidate for
he Governorship of Ohio. His first
ason. as given in his letter, is that
his voice is not strong enough to make
a speech, and the second reason that
he would sooner beg for old clothes
than ask any mortal man for Office
A third reason is that he cannot afford
to take the position. It seems cruel,
says the New York Herald, yet it can
not avoid stating the fourth reason,
which Mr.. Wade does not give. 1t is
that the Democratic majority iii Ohio
is about forty thousand. This reason
makes ali his other reasons seem I'M
necessary.
