What an Intel lligent Eng
lishman saw in New
Orlea rs.

HIS SURPRISE AT THE iRoss Mi>RErEE
sENTATIoN OF THE so rTHERN PEOPLE.
Mr.. Simmonds, Of the house of Sim
Inonds, Hunt & Co., pf London, Liver
pool and New York, arrived in this city
few days ago from New Orleans, where
he had spent about three weeks, accom-
panied by his wife.
In conversation with the writer yestcr-
day Mr.. Simmonds said:
"Of course l am neither Democrat
nor a Republican. have friends in both
parties, and L esteem them all alike. /
should dislike very much to be under
stood as having interfcred in politics
while in this country. 1 have talked
with gentlemen belonging to each of
your two parties, and have told my ex-
perience to all of them in the same way. l
saw nothing in New Orleans that surpris-
ed me very much, except the arrival of
the United States soldiers in q city that
was just as quiet on election day as New
York is at this moment. MY surprise
came back when l returned to this city
and saw what strange and false ideas the
people had as regards New Orleans and
other cities in the South. was surpris-
sed, and saddened too, when found that
your people up here were saying such
hard things against the people of New
Orleans, whom found so kind, so just
and so peaceable."
THE CAUSE OF TROUBLE AND THE REM
EDY.
s'Did you make up your mind as to
what was the cause of all the trouble that
was down there"
81 made up my mind that the principal
reason why the South has not returned
to its former prosperity is the interference
and usurpation of Northern men, those
whom you have named carpet-baggers.
They tax the people heavily and give
nothing in return. The people down
there want to control their local affairs
themselves. One large plantation owner
told me that he owned 900 acres of land
just outside the city; that he had been
taxed regularly 5000 a year for repairing
the levees, and that no work had been
done. Another told me that he had paid
large amount for building bridge; that
the work had been abandoned after
little money had been spent, and that the
contractors pocketed all the rest. This
appeared to be common trick, A large
work would be projected and after opera
tlons had been carried on a short time the
undertaking would be abandoned and
somebody would pocket all the money. |
believe that fthese CARPET -baggers would
leave the South the people down there
would begin TO prosper. The idea that
the Southern people are unfriendly to
your people IN tne NORTH seems to me to
be an entirely false one. They want the
help of the Northern people. They want
you to go down there and live among
them. One Southerner said to me. "Ail
our young men have been killed off by
the war, and the result is that we have a
great many more women tlan men. We
want the young men of the North to
come down here and marry some of
them" l am sure no one could saw more
than that"

Congress-.

In the United States Senate on Tues
day, Mr.. Morton submitted Joint reso-
luton proposing an amendment to the
constitution of the United States pro-
yiding for an election of President and
VICE President by the people. A bill
was introduced to establish the Territory
OF the Black Hills, and providing tenn
porary government therefor. MIR. Ed
munds' resolutions, submitted on Mon
day, ordering an inquiry into the cleo
tions during the last three years in South
Carolina, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi.
Georgia and Alabama, were called up,
debated at length and passed by a party
vote. Mr.. Edmunds gave notice that he
would call up to-day the joint resolution
respecting the counting and deciding the
electoral vote for President and Vice
President of the United States, reported
by the committee on privileges and cleo
tions in May last, together with an
amendment. The presidents message
was read and the Senate adjourned.
In the House Mr. Plaisted, of Maine,
made the point that he had voted against
Mr.. Hewitt's resolution for the select
committee for Louisiana, Florida and
South Carolina, but was not recorded
and Mr.. Fuller, Of Indiana, said he had
voted for the resolution and was not re.
corded. Speaker Randall decided the
record should be corrected, and as this
would make the vote 157 to 70, he decided
the question in favor of the resolution by
exercising his constitution right and vot-
ing for it. Saturday December 10, was
fixed for the memorial exercises in re-
spect to the late Speker Kear. The Pres

The Nebaska judge refused to grant the
injunction to restrain the republican cleo

We do not see how his honor could reach
this decision. The new constitution of
Nebraska provides that the vote shall be

tary of state. This year the governor

That Mr.. Tilden was fairly and hon
estly elected President of the United
States there is not, and never was, the
shadow of doubt. He has lS4 cleo
toral votes conceded to him by the con-
spirators themselves, and the votes OF
South Carolina, Flsrida and Louisiana
were all cast for him by decided MAORI
ties, which give him 203 electoral votes,

Mr.. Grants Messa0e.

a paper purpOrtlng TO be Message
from the President Of the United States
to Congress appeared in some of the
Radical party papers in Philadelphia on
Tuesday evening. We presume it ap-
peared in the Grant organs in other
cities at the same time. Such paper
finds its proper place, if there is any pro-
per place for 1t, in the organs Of its re-
puted author. 1t is document that
should make any generous, honest man
ashamed to acknowledge as portray
ing his feelings or sentiments. We can
not consent to publish document so
false and malicious. 1t would be i'm
proper in mere partizan like Blaine or
Morton in heated campaign to issue a
paper so utterly regardless of truth. But
coming from man for whose benefit the
whole country has toiled and suffered i'm
mense taxation for eight years it evinces
the meanest of all spirits and shows that
he is as destitute of every generous emo
tion as he is selfish and sensual.
No one could have better afforded to be
courteous and civil and to have dispensed
with violent partizan feelings, as he re.
tired from the Presidential office. But
instead he avails himself of the Message
through which to emit spite, resentment
and malace at the Democratic party ;
ferming it an ''cnemy in the rear" dur
ing the war. Such falsehood is un-
worthy, and becoming only TO a small
beer politician. Gen. Grant knows or
ought to know that had it not been fer
labor and toll of the Democrats who
favored peaceful settlement through a
compromise by which the Union would
be preserved in all its integrity, the war
never could have been successfully prose-
cuted had it not been for this and the aid
of the Democrats who entered the
Northern army the troops that fed from
Bull Run and other unsuccessful en-
counters might have been made 10 re-
treat into Canada. Aside from its parti-
IAN coloring the Message is a mere re-
cital of events, put together in very
clumsy and feeble manner, scarcely
worth any ones time for a perusal. In
tact it does not approach the idea of a
message in which the President of great
country is expected to lay before Con-
gress such affairs as would most engage
their attention. 1t is not strange perhaps
that this course should have been fol-
lowed by man who admits that he took
30 little interest in the Republic that paid
tor his education as to have voted but
once in his life for President.
