States. The Republican party is
responsible for all the troubles in
the South for the last ten years; its
leaders have delayed restoration,
promoted and fermented strife and
lost to the commerce and indus
tries of the country millions
of dollars by a mad desire
to retain a power they could
not have gained but for the
passions and preiudices left by the
war. This class OF men will sink
into nothingness from whence they
sprang. MI. Hayes, we believe,
represents a better class, although
perhaps not a majority of his party.
OF one thing we feel assured the
Southern people are about to see
the last OF carpet-bag governments
aud federal Inference in their do
nestle affairs, and will have the
fullest and freest opportunity to
cultivate their fields, develop their
resources and build up what will be
known as the "new South" What
ever Of political agitation is in store
for us is most likely to be caused by
material issues, financial questions,
schemes of internal improvement
and business matters, upon which
men will agree and divide without
much reference to Mason and Dix
on's line.

NEARLY all Europe derived great
benefit from our late civil war. not
only from an influx of shoddyites
and fugitives from the draft or con,
script laws, but by manufacturing
arms and all the munitions of war.
Our time seems to be at hand to
look on with complacency and
profit by the misfortunes of Europe.
A late number of the New York
Tribune, discussing this subject,
says:
The United States, however, now
peaceably adjusting the last political
trouble, aud fitted for every form of pro-
daotivs industry as rarely before, will
draw large benefits from this tragic yet
inevitable conflict. Whatever may be
the sympathies OF eur farmers, mauufac.
turers, and men OF commerce, we may
be sure that they are all ready to supply
both sides with equal alsority.
