A SOUTHERN editor, commenting upon
the letter Of Jet, Davis in reply to Nessrs.
Blaine and Garfield. says: JEFF Davis
was right, and adds:
We "rs gsttiD1 strong enough to tAiaA Gnd Gay
rhof Ee please The concessions that we have az
ready made have done no good whatever and II is
not likely that ANYTHING we can ever do will rid
the Northern mind OF that deep and deyilish
+ hatred II feels toward, every Southern idea and
sentiment.
The only concessions made by eX-
Confederates that We know OF are: First,
consenting to come back into tho Union
afterthey were whipped; second, begging
for amnesty. The concession" Of
coming back into the Union when they
couldn't help it is not worthy OF much
consideration. The concession" OF
begging for amnesty and taking an oath
to get it when they could not get it in any
other way is not exactly conclusive OF
loyalty and good faith Now the South
ern editor says 1--WE are getting strong
enough to think and say what we please"
This is the secret of the Amnesty measure
defeated by the Republican minority in
the lower house of Congress. The purpose
OF its introduction and intended passage
was to demonstrate that there was no
i'hSNi AOVN VI NOiCCSSious VII PHii Va
ex-rebels. If an Amnesty bill could be
passed, restoring to all the rights of citi-
zen.hip, jeff. Davis and others, who OBJ
stinately decline to beg for pardon and
who still declare their adhesion to the
cause of the late Confederacy, the act
would constitute tacit recognition OF the
right of secession, and so of the binding
force of the doctrine of State sovereignty,
as opposed to that of the indivisibility OF
the nation. Thus argued ex Csnfederates
in and out OF Congress, and the Demo
cratic party of the country adopted this
view, and voted for amnesty without con.
ditions. But the fact that amnesty under
these circumstances was defeated, shows
that the Southern editor is too fast in de-
claring We are getting strong enough to
think and say what we please" The
proposition to indorse the doctrine OF
State rights in the form of an Amnesty
bill, thus threatening the notification Of
the later amendments to the Constitution,
reused the national spirit and called forth
vigorous protest. The South is not
"strong enough to think and say what
it pleases, il it pleases to think that this
is not nation, and pleases to say that
the secession of 1861 was righteous and
legal act. 1t is just this principle that
the people will not consent to have EN-
bodied in the form Of law.--Inter- Ocean.

The Republican Party In Illinois.

WE may say with ali truth that never
have we witnessed in the State OF Illinois
more confidence or q better feeling in 4
political gathering than characterized that
of the State Central Committee and the
scores of prominent Republicans who re-.
Gently met with it in this city. Without
exception, the gentlemen in attendance
and almost every county in the state was
represented gave hopeful reports OF the
political situation and prospects.
The Republican party is as strong in
Illinois to-day "a il ever has been since its
organization. The Liberals" Of two
years ago are coming back into the Old
ranks, and, as rule, the grangcrs who
had been duped into the independent
movement by Democratic sbarp-practice,
have discovered their mistake, and will be
found under the Republican banners in
the coming campaign With strong
ticket OF good men, and platform that
will truly reflect the popular sentiment in
reference to the great issues before the
country. success will be inevitable. -Cha'

Life In the Black Hiiis-A Place where Poo

DEADwooD. Sept. 12.-There are two
routes by which the Hills are gained. Tho lrst,
and the one most generally travelled last spri ng,
was via the Chicago and Northwestern Rllroad
to Sioux City or Yankton thence by WAGON over
dreary stretch Of prairie Inhabited by hostile
Indians. This route has, however fallen into
disreputc, both on acc punt OF its danger and
the distance. Tho other, and the one now fol-
lowed by immigrants and Govern ment agents
aud, In fact. nearly every one coming from
points south Of the forty-fourth degree OF lat-
tude, is via the Union P,cin, Railroad to Sid
ney or Cheyenne, thence by stage, wagon, or on
foot. rs you prefer, direct north 20 the Hills.
The distance from Sidney to this city Is, be
leve. iS6 miles. and the road Is well guarded and
comparatively safe for parties numbering over
10 or Is rifles.
Deadwood City Is located ina ravine. about
six miles long and not widc enough TO allow OF

How Asintic MoSlcms Regard the War.

If the Mohammedans of India seem to
regard Tho Servian war and the present prrca-
rilus condition Of the Turkish Empire with
considerable indifference, the same charge can j.
n oa brought against their brethren Of Arabia.
We recently published few items Of news re-
ceiyed by a late mail from Jeddah, and among
them an account Of a meeting held by the mstO-
wais Cor pilgrim gLidcs) NJ Mecca Al which An
important step was taken with the avOwed in
tentiOn of marking tho displeasure which the
community felt at certain acts done ny the Eng
lsh Consul al Jediah. Now we hear that the
magnates Of Niece have again met together,
but this time with the view 10 consider the
present position Of the war in Turkey, and the
result, as IA the former case has been of an
eminently practical nature. IL was decided
unanimously thar In the existing state OF affairs
tue whole Ofthe MOhammed an world wa- hound
to come forward and assist, either In purse or
person, the struggling empire. Already the peO-
pie Of Mecca and jedi All hava responded TO the
clll made ON them, and at the time of tho de-
y .rture uf the last mail sum OF So ,000 had
made itS way into the nands OF the troAsurers ut
Mecca for remittance 10 ConstHntinople. Inc
formal declaration thus made and acknowl-
edged In Mecca, calling on MOhanmedans
throughout the worli TO contribute 10 the sup
port Of the Turkish Empire as religious duly,
Is an event OF no slt lht Importance. Had the
appeal issued from the Sultan, 10 might have
carried even more weight with IL, but issuing ~
II does from Mecca, 10 goes abroad with the
slnction and APPRECIATION of all the recOgnIz ID
heads Of the orthodox scots; and, moreover IL
cannot nave been issued without at least the
PASSIVE consent OF tbs sultan.
