TO THE SUMMER TOURISTS.

Those of our citizens who are for
tunate enough to be able to seek respite
from the labors of the business season
Just closed, and to recuperate their ener-
gies at some Of the many delightful
summer resorts to be found in the
Northern States and Canada, will be
glad to learn that the old favorite jack
son route, under vigorous and efficient
management, has become one Of the
very best travelling thoroughfares in the
country.
Hundreds Of thousands of dollars
have been expended, as we are credi-
bly, informed, during the past twelve
months for new iron and steel rails.
new cross ties and new bridges, and to-
day it may be safely said that no road
south of the Ohio river surpasses the
great jackson route In smoothness and
perfect safety. We have had occasion,
during the past few weeks, to travel
quite extensively over that road, and we
can thus, from actual experience, bear
witness to its excellence in every par
ticular which goes to constitute a good
road.

NOTICE.

As there are at present MI mbers OF persons OF
the poorer classes out or employment, and who
have not the means to advertise their wants, the
DEMOCRAT will here's fter publieh such "Want"
notices free OF charge. when they do not exceed
in length three lines. This will include adver-
tsements Of those desiring the services Of ser
wants or Of any class OF employees. and will also
include advertisements OF houses 10 rent, where
The monthly rent does not exceed s25. In adopt
ing this plan. the managers Of the DEMOCRAT feel
that they will greatly benefit those not financial
ly able to make their wants known, and will be
serving the poor of the city who are out Of EN-
ployment or in quest of homes.

The tax collector of the First Dis
trict has been in Office only two months
and half, and made returns yesterday
of his collections. which showed that in
licenses alone he has received more
than was paid into the same Office dur
ing the whole of last year. This has
been done without employing any
harsh or even urgent means to force
such collections. but is due to the
cheerful readiness of all classes of the
people to pay their taxes to govern
ment which they feel confident will
make proper application and render
an honest account OF the same. The
other tax collectors Of this city have
been equally successful,

THE UNION NORTH AND SOUTH.

or all the pestilent disturbers and
agitators with which this country is
afflicted there is not one to equal, in
the intensity Of his sectional diabolism,
that persistent and sombre demagogue,
Boutwell,, of Massachusetts. Recently
he embraced the occasion, which was
everywhere else and by everybody else,
employed az one Of general fraterniza-
ton and reunion of the people, Of all
sections and classes-Decoration Day
to belch forth the most sulphurous
curses and threats against the South.
The leading point in his philippe h.,
that the war Of the Union has failed Of
its purpose, that the Rebellion has won
the victory in the South, as 1t has sue
ceeded in installing governments by
force and blood. as against the changes
In the constitution and the authority
of the Federal Government, which it
was delusively imagined had been
established. Boutwell, calls on the Re-
publican party to arouse and reopen
the fight for the Union, and never close
1t until the bloody rebels are whipped
back into their holes and forever oblit-
Grated as political power and people.
The New York Tribune expresses in
measured and dainty phrase its disgust
for these unseemly and untimely ehulli-
tons of the Massachusetts Boarnerges,
and contrasts Herewith the manly
utterances OF Mr.. Watterson, an ex-
rebel, in an address delivered by him
on Dec Grafton Day at Louisville, quot
ing with special admiration the follow
ing:
Mr.. Watterson, a Confederate soldier stand
dead at Nashville, tells us that there is no
one of us, come he from the granite hills of
New England or the orange groves. OF the
Mississippi Valley, who has not an interest
for himself and for his children in the preser-
walton and perpsstuat.ion Of our republican elc,,
part of the South the starry ensign of
the Republic must be not only a symbol of
protection, but the source and resource of
popular enthusiasm. Above all, the cabin of
the poor man, whatever his color, race, or
opinions, must be free mans castle. In the
North, constitutional traditions must revive;
Union declare here to-day that the South,
more especially the young manhood OF the
South, yearns for national fellowship. 1t
stretches out its arms to the National Gov
eminent beseechingly; 1t entreats the North
not to build up a national spirit which shall
in word or thought prescribe 1t, or those who
are to come after it.

At the Funding Board session yester-
day the Fiscal Agent was requested to
make an early publication OF his pur-
pose to meet the payment OF the July
interest on the consols, and the Gov
ernor informed the board that arrange
ments had been made for an early hear
ing and decision Of the suits Of Mr..
Forstall and others now pending to
determine the fundability Of the bonds
held by them. The Supreme Court will
hold its session in a few weeks or days

THE DIFFERENCE.

The Picayune's Antelope Of date May
81, has the following:
''There was o duller feeling in all
Southern securities, and the squabbling
about paying the interest does them NO
good on the contrary 1t does harm, as
1t gives certain journals, who have a
chronic bad opinion Of Southern credit,
a lever to make that credit appear still
worse" Antelope ought to have noted.
SO far as our State bonds are concerned,
there has never been nor could there
have been any squabbling about paying
the interest, as the constitution and the
act OF the Legislature have already APP
propriated the necessary amount to
meet the accruing interest on our con-
soils, and one of our largest and most
solid banks as Fiscal Agent has as
sumed that payment.
1t is in this feature OF our consols we
have so great an advantage over South
Carolina, where an act of the Legisla-
ture is required to authorize the pay
ment OF the interest on their CONSOLE
dated bonds. Here the fund for this
purpose is set aside by an article Of the
constitution, which reads as follows:
1.-THE tax required for the payment Of
the principal and interest Of said bonds
shall be assessed and collected each and
every year until the bonds shall be paid,
principal and interest. and the proceeds
shall be paid by the Treasurer Of the
State to the holders OF said bonds as the
principal and interest shall fall due, and
no further legislation or appropriation
shall be requisite for the said assess
ment and collection and for such pay
ment from the Treasury"

THE COLLECTORS LETTER,

Collector King publishes very elab-
crate apologetic letter to the colored
Radicals, who requested an interview.
to learn what were his purposes in the
distribution Of the patronage confided
to him. The Collector defends himself
against all imputations OF q purpose to
ignore or depreciate the claims and
merits OF the colored citizens, and
promises to give them an equal chance
with the whites, In the division OF the
few offices he will have at his disposal.
There are thirty applicants for each Of
these offices. The Collector informs
the public that he never sought the
Office, and in his administration Of 1t,
will regard as paramount to all other
considerations, the interest of the gov
ernment and to conduct the business
Of the customs, so as to afford the
largest convenience and facilities to our
merchants and others, who are imme-
diately interested. Collector King
closes his letter as follows:
But while endeavoring to accomplish this,
shall incidentally look to the interests Of
the party OF which the President Is the hon
ored head; and 1t is needless to add. In con
clusion that shall not lose sight of the in
terests of the colored people, portion OF
whom you represent
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
JOHN Il. KING
We regret that 30 long and 80 we'll
expressed an exposition OF Collector
Kings views of the new civil service
reform should conclude in a declaration
go inconsistent Herewith as that the
President Is ''the honored head Of a
party" This Is not the true theory of
the civil service reform, nor that con-
veyed by the President in his inaugural.
The President of the United States may
be honored by party which elects
him, but when he becomes President,
he must be "honored" by the whole peo-
