LOOK OUT. FARMERs !

If the Southern planter risks
his all upon cotton this season,
and a failure in the crop should
occur, followed by a great de
cline in the price Of the staple
in consequence Of an European
war, his loss viii be irreparabIe.
The press throughout the coun-
try, with singular emphasis and
unanimity, is entreating the far
mers to plant less cotton and
more grain and provender. A
well informed contemporary apt
Iy says:
This war, which seems so i'm
minent, willshave probably its
greatest effect upon the provis-
ion market Of the United States.
The movements of breadstufIs in
Chicago for past few days show
the effect Of the news from Eu-
rope. Russia, whose belligerent
intentions can no longer be
doubted, is the great exporter Of
wheat to the markets of the old
world. Even a war which only
only involves Russia and Turkey
will have the effect of cutting off
this supply, and the overlooking
graneries of our great northwest
will be called on to pour out their
store Of food for European CON
sumption. The demand increas-
es, and up go the figures.
A heavy advance in wheat will
cause an advance in all other
grains which will be resorted to
as substitute for flour. The
grain States will reap a harvest
of gold, and for the West and
Northwest nothing but good can
proceed from European carnage.
Suppose there is no war, cot
ton, if a large crop is made, will
scarcely pay for the making
when sold next fall. Now let
the foreign industries be check
ed and clogged by war, and
where Will the staple be found /?
Whether We have war or peace,
there is to be no money made in
a large crop of cotton this year.
Now, how clear to any man of
common sense is the proper
course to be pursued. Grain is
steadily advancing, cotton is
steadily dropping. There is ev-
cry reason to believe both will
continue in their present course.
Shall the South make cotton at
low figures to buy corn and
wheat at high figures? The hour
is a vital one-the action of the
country in planting the crop of
II is a vital one. Urge Them"
said gentleman, ''for heavens
sake to make their bread and
meat and give their surplus only
to cotton"

PROTECT MExPHIs.

st. Louis is now draining Tex
as of its rich productions along
a railway route that sweeps by
the very doors of the Memphis
merchant. That Iron Mountain
route with its outstretched arms
is reaching Southwark for travel
and freight, and is pouring i'm
mense riches into the depots of
that Queen City of the upper
MISSISSIPPI. This is an unnatur-
al diversion Of business. It Is
an unjust and one-sided trade
monopoly. Memphis is the le
Ultimate receiving depot for all
this Texas production, and
stands ready to transfer it to
Louisville, Cincinnati and other
inland cities. To meet this
drawback upon Memphis, tits ev-
ident that the Memphis d Little
Rock road should be projected
to tap the Texas system Of rail
roads. Then we may hope for a
diversion. AS at present fixed,
st. Louis gets the full benefit of
that trade. The Courier-J ournal
of the 18th puts the case in this
shape:
The officers of the Louisville
d Nashville railroad have en-
deavored for the past year to OBJ
tain from the Iron Mountain peo-
pie and equitable arrangement
that would secure to our road a
portion, at least, of what right
fully belongs toit. All their eff
forts, however, have proved I'M
availing, the Iron Mountain Deo-
pie invariably ignoring all
advances looking to an
accommodation in this mat
ter, and the alternative has been
presented the Louisville and
Nashville, the Memphis and
Charleston, and Memphis and
Little Rock, in common with
1000 miles Of other road east of
the Mississippi, to quietly retire
from the contest to obtain traf-
fic justly their due, or build
parallel road through Arkansas
and Texas to the system of roads
in the latter State, and this Will
eventually be done, unless the
Iron Mountain people are forced
to retire from the position they
have taken by other means.

THE NARROW GAUGE ROAD,

Bolivar and all other towns
should be alive to their op-
portunities. To slumber and
waste time waiting for a better
day to dawn upon our people
without reasonable excrtion, is
not the wise policy for intelli-
gent people to pursue. If a Mar
row Gauge road to Henderson
Station will prove to be a gener-
al benefit to this section, and a
very special good to Bolivar and
its immediate vicinity, the pro
iect should enlist the cordial in
terest ofevery citizen, white and
colored, old and young. We be
lieve that the benefits to accrue
from this railway are admitted
by all persons coHversant with
the matter. This being so, Why
delay to put in motion some
plan by which an advance move
ment may be effected? The ser
vices of that distinguished civil
engineer, Col Upshaw, can be
secured TO survey the road in
order to arrive at an estimated
cost Of placing the roadbed in a
condition to receive the iron.
The best course to pursue infur-
theranoe Of this important work,
We leave to the intelligence and
judgment of our citizens. They
can devise the ways and means.
We hope our people viii give
this subject prompt and hearty
support. Let this work be push
cd TO completion, and within five

ACCEPT THE CoMPROMIsE.

Yhe State is fully able to pay
sixty cents on the dollar of its
Indebtedness. The creditors of
the State are in the power of the
people. 1t is a very easy matter
to repudiate the debt by I'M
friendly legislation, but the dis
honor attached to such a meas
IRE would be an everlasting
stigma upon the name Of our
great State. To reject the pro-
position of the creditors is to
fake an unjust advantage of their
Dosition. Do unto them as you
would as individuals do unto
vour own private creditors.
They have made fair and reas-
enable offer and to refuse it and
force upon them still greater
reduction, we do violence to our
fame as fair-dealing people. We
Mead with the honorable citi-
zens Of Hardeman county not TO
heed the cry Of the demagogue,
and afIix the stigma of repudia-
ton upon the character of the
State. There is so much demon
alizatioR abroad in the land, so
much moral obliquy, that we
fear for the result. Those best
acquainted with the resources
and financial condition of Ten
nessce say that the sixty cents
offer should be accepted, because
the State can easily provide for
its payment. There is honor in
asserting to the proposition /;
there is dishonor attached TO a
refusal.

FEDERAL SOLDIERS VACATE
TIE STATE HOUSE.
Packard Deserted by His
Followers!
Nichols Supported by the
Entire People.

NEW ORLEANS, April 24.-Troors
evacuated the Statehouse to-day at
noon. One hundred guns were fired,
saluting Louisiana's redemption from
misruIe and bondage. Nichols re-
ceived congratulatory dispatches from
all the States of the Union. SpofTord
was elected L. $. Senator by one
hundred and forty out of one hundred
and fifty-thrcc votes. Packard's for
ces have abandoned him. Nichols is
supreme master Of the situation, but
yet magnanimOus. The American
people, should congratulate the Mich
oils Legislature for their firmness,
manhood and patriotism. BY their ac-
ton we have secured political and COM
mercial freedom to Louisiana and to
the whole people of the Mississippi
valley.

WHEN LEE SURRENDERED he
F0RESHAD0WED SOUTHERN
POLICY

When Lee sheathed his sword
at AppOmatox Court House, that
act was the announcement of
new era in Southern statesman
ship. That great chieftain knew
the Confederate cause was just
but had failed. Logic and hui
man passion encouraged further
resistance, but a wisdom higher
than earthly inducements taught
him that the gallant people
whom he represented should not
be turned over to a devOuring
guerrilla war, or be left to spend
their hopes and strength in emp
ty repinings. His noble exam
pie furnishes US with the theo-
rem, the formula, so to speak, Of
Southern craftsmanship since
the war.
"The lion hearted Baldwin, Of Virg-n mia,

1868 SO; Gordon in his whole Senatorial
career; Lamar, in his struggle to redeem
Mississippi in 1875; Hampt 1, on the
stump ia South Carolina and IL con-
ference with our dc facto President at
Washington. We're but the pupils and fol-
lowers OF the great soldier who reposes
in Virginia among the psople that loved
him so well.
Behold the grand results. Every South
ern State rescued from the spoilers, even
South Carolina and Louisiana. Home
rule all over the South, the rule OF the
taxpayers, the intelligent and educated
classes, a chance for all men, stable gov
ernment. cheap government, economy and
Justice purely administered to all alike
future for every man willing to work.
Reconciliation hath richer and better
victories than hate. Edmund Burke that
eminent British leader, recognized the
virtue of peaceful acquiesence when he
counselled the English people TO respect
the wrongs of the American colon les,
rather than follow the uhwiso teachings
of reckless abstractiOnists, American
statesmen should now learn that the de-
vcIopment of their States IN all the es-
ssntials of true worth and material pros
perity can alone be accomplished by the
most cordial interstate fraternity, and
reciprocal sectional forbearance. We
have a common country, aud the federal
government asa general agent, should
be directed to cOntribate to the welfare
of all classes. The war is over, and peace
is proclaimed. Let us not reopen it by
inaugurating a bitter sectional partyism.
Let it be known that those of Oar leaders
who throw themselves in the way of the
in-setting tide of an established reconciI-
iation with the federal government are
traitors in disguise. The people want
and need rest-they desire peace that
prosperity may follow IL its wake. Par
alyzed be the arm that is raised to up
lift anew the bloody shirt banner. South
ern radicalisn died when Lee surrender
ed, and Republican radicals SIN was gull
letined when Hayes was inaugurated.
Let these twin spirited elements of evil
meyer be resurrected.

Consideration Mrs. HAYES.

The Russian Ora n i Dukes were enter
tanned at a state dinner at the White
House on Thursday evening; and one OF
the circumstances of this occasion is
rcFoi ted by the New York Times as fol.
bws:
There was domestic cabinet meeting
over the wine question, Mrs. Hayes be-
ing conscientiously opposed to having
spirits upon her table, but she yielded
upon this occasion to the arguments of
Secretary Eyarts, who was of the opinion
that the foreigners were ccgstOm ed to
dins with wine, and would not eoioY the
dinner without it. Mrs. Hayes yielded
reluctant consent, with the under
standing that hereafter no wine should
be served at state dinners. 1t was no.
ticed that no wine glasses were tlaced
at the plates of either the President or
Mrs. Hayes"
The Same facts are narrated, with a
little variation, by the Tribune:

posed having any wine at the dinner at
all, as she 10 strictly 4 temperance

LOUISIANA LIBERATED.

Last Tuesday the troops were
removed from the State House in
New Orleans. Those gentlemen
commissioned by President
Hayes to diagnose the guberna-
toriaI difficulty in Louisiana,
proceeded thither and effected a
settlement which embraced the
organization of Nichols Legis-
lature, and thus Packard Is re
lieved Of authority. a full quo
rum of the Legislature is at
work, having received a large
addition Of Packardites, and
Judge Spofford, an eminent con
sentative jurist, has been nOmi-
mated for United States Senator.
Thus has been amicably settled
an irritating political problem.
1t is another strong reason why
the Southern people should en-
dOrse the pacification schemes of
Mr.. Hayes. Antagonizing the
ultra wing of his party, he has
steadily moved forward to recon
Gle opposition, and restore to
that State the peace and safe
guards Of local self-government.
His recent decisions entitle the
President to receive the good
will of all parties. He has risen
above partyism, and declared for
a union Of free and co-equal
States.

Why Butler, Blaine and Cameron
Hate Hayes


We can understand why the Cam
ere0s, the Buffers and the Blainss will
resent the course OF the President.
They feel that the President is the child
of their begetting-; that he sprang from
their lOins; that he owes them flial duty
and respect. Under the ordinary condi-
tiOns of political life this resentment
would be natural. IN all representative
Governments party discipline and party
honors are respected. If Lord Harting
ton came into power tomorrow, he
would seek the aid of Bright Lowe and
Forster. The accession of Disraeli
means the accession of Derby and
Hardy and NOrthcOte. When Polk be-
came President every one knew it meant
the elevation of Marcy and Buchanan
and Walker. When Lincoln took Office
lie called to his side TIE gentlemen who
had been his rivals for the nomination
to the Presidency. He sought the aid
of the party leaders. Grant had a mill
tary idea about Cabinet as staff, and
the persistence with which he chung to
it injured his Administration. Accord
ing to the precedentS OF legislative Gov
verDment the natural Cabinet for Hayes
would have been Bristow and Cooking,
Morton and Blaine. Tnese were his
rivals in the convention. These we're
the leaders OF the party. If any one rf
them had been nominated and elected
Hayes would have expected a summons
to the Cabinet IN point of ability,
eioquence, political free and experience
in public aft airs we do not think thai
any, even the datterers OF the Presidens
would call him the equal of Morton,

HOW WE ERRED AND WHAT
tn m

Northern Ingenuity and enter
prise have directed for years the
machinery of political parties to
the enrichment of the East and
the ilnpoverishment of the
South. Rigid and unrelenting
commercial interests have shap-
ed the politics of parties to the
building up of Boston, New
York, Philadelphia and BalG-
more, while Southern cities have
been left to develop and grow
by the slow attrition of limited
local influences. The general
government with its vast re
sources has been a prodigal fos-
ter parent to the Atlantic coast
marts of trade, while here in the
valley Of the Mississippi our cit
les have had to struggle against
great odds. Chicago and st.
st. Louis also have been the for
tunate recipients of princely ia
vors. The Central and Northern
Pacific railways have poured i'm
mense riches into their lap.
But looking Southwark the
scene changes. The Southern
people have been too busy play
ing the role of politician to give
any attention to material pros
perity. We have frittered away
our time, and exhausted our en-
orgies in giving life and power
to mere political platforms,
while the practical North has
rushed ahead in the race of
wealth and substantial thrift.
We are now called upon to
sound a halt in the wasteful chase
after startling theories of the
political abstractionist. Mr..
Hayes has eliminated out of
current politics that mischievous
factor Of military interference
with local government in the
South, and as a people we have
but one high and true duty to
perform, and that is, to teach
our people that they are not
aliens under the federal govern
ment, but equal owners and CO.
partners with all other sections
in the national heritage of
immunities and blessings. The
South by conservatism has
re asserted its right to have
a political voice in the man
agement of national affairs.
The drift of public opinion is
now in favor of our section. Our
leaders should utilize it to our
good, and not squander it upon
mere partyism. Waste places
are to be re-furnished with new
and fresher commercial vigor.
State legislation is to be made in
viting to capital and not forbid
ding to enterprise. The Chinese
wall of ostracising sectionalism
is to be leveled with the ground,
and a national spirit is to be ex-
tensive in its reach as the limits
of the Union. We must plan,
work and endure, that real pros
perity may smile upon each
home. Our people have long
needed and sighed for the com
-'ng of q hopeful presidential adj
tration. We now have it,
let us rather develope it to
permanent good of the South
,han convertit into an engine of
evil.
