supply was not equal to the demand.
They have all gone to work and are veil

question at the South. Let the unem
ployed come South at this delightful sea-

at something in preference to the negro,
and will be better treated than they are
accustomed to. They will find good
homes, regular employment, certain pay,

homes of their own. No question of
politics or creed will be asked. Nor is
it cared for now since bayonet rule has

we commend the following extract from
an address lately issued BY the Exscu

Marshall county:
Awaiting ourselves of the strife and
dissertations among our opponents, gen.
Grated by d~isagreements rs to the dTFis'
ion of the spols and plumber, We struck
the blow Which hurled them from the
places which they had dishonored aud the
power which they had abused. So great

defeat given them that there is scarcely

selves with the dark and crime stained
record which they made while in power,
they generously offer their countenanee
and support to any Democrat who, from
a feeling Of irritation aud discomfort or
other motive, will consent to aid in
tearing down and destroying the edi6ce
which cost so much and which he
aided so earnestly aud periodically
to rear. Il may not be Of any very
vital Importance that any particular
Democrat should be elevated to Office at
the coming election, though there is q
great aud important work before US, but
1t is of the very greatest Importance that
we should do nothing which may endan-
ger the success and ~ascendsncy OF the
party. Divisions and discussions threaten
defeat and disaster, and when existing
among friends and associates are pro-
verbially difficult to heal and reconcile.
1t becomes us therefore to be wary, to
a deaf ear to the Syren song of our
opponents, and by the exercise Of eau.
tios, wisdom, prudence and forbearauce
to keep our ranks firm and unbrOken.
We have but entered upon the great
work Of r~edeeming and regenersting our
State, and its accomplishment depends
upon the continued success OF the
Democratic party. The reformation set
on foot upon our advent to power he's
been scarcely more than insugurated,
sDd much, very much remains to be done
before We shall have redeemed our
or enjoy the full fruits Of the
great victory achieved.

HoS. JOIN F. House, of this State,
having been fsvorsbly mentioned for
the sreakersbip of the house Of rep
resentatiVes Of congress by various pa
pers, the LEDGER among others, he has
authorized the GAINESVILLE Chronicle to
say hat he positively declines to be a
candidate at this time. That paper Of
last week says:
"In reference to all such propositions
as the above, Colonel House, ackouwl.
edgiDg the high compliments paid him,
most distinctly declines to become a can
dldate for speaker under any circum.
stances whatever. He considers that
affairs are now moving most propitiously
for the South, and hat IT would be most
unfortunate for any Southern member to
do anything calculated 10 check or dis.
tuTb the present drift aud tendency 10 our
favor. He thinks il would be a mistake
or the South at this time to put one oil
her members in the chair, aud thus be.
come responsible for the legislation Of
one branch Of congress"
While we do not agree With him 10 the
opinion expressed, that it would be un.
fortunate for the South to place one o.
her members in the chair, we regard him
With ell the more respect for bis senti
