countrymen? Are not the Southern States the
equal of those of the North, East or West, and
is not the South an integral part of the nation?
Ii has been said sneeringly. and for the pur
pose Of stirring the wild passions of the human
heart to bad actions, that the South, under
President Hayes, must submit TO an uncondi-
tional surrender to the Republican party. No,
sir; no such demand will be made. All that
will be expected is patriotic cooperation of the
Southern patriots in the great work of res
toration through the Union, the Con-
stitution, and enforcement of the
laws. In this great work the representa-
tive men of the South have already distin-
guished themselves for patriotism and states
manship during the pendency Of this present
crisis in our history.
Mr.. Sparks, of Illinois, in reply to Mr. Foster.
said that he doubted the patriotism of any man
who took an office thrust upon him by fraud,
and which he knew he got through fraud. He
imagined ''thel title gentlemen from Grammercy
Park :" paving visit to Hayes at the White
House, and saying, as he took up his hat to
leave, "Sir, quarter of a million of people
voted for me more than voted for You, and a
clearly-defined majority Of the electoral vote of
the country was for me, but through your ras
caly. scoundrelly, fraudulent Returning Boards
you have stolen the office from me-"

A correspondent of the Pail Mall
Gazette, writing from Madras, says:
"The great jail delivery which took
place in India ON New Years day gives
one strange notion of the vastness of
our Eastern empire On that day 10
per cent. of the criminal population were
turned loose upon the land, to the num-
ber of 1888. 1t is true that few OF
these were political offenders, and that a
considerable proportion were prisoners
who had been sentenced to one months
Imprisonment, and had worked out one
half of their term. Others were imprls-
oned debtors who had been thrown into
Jail for sums not exceeding 100 rupees,
and whose debts were then discharged
But after making these allowances, we
shall not be far wrong in estimating the
actual criminal population OF the Indian
iails on the last day of 1876 at fully l4o,-
600 persons. This is the force OF the
stanaing army Of Indian crime that has
to be maintained at no trlfimg cost 10
the STATE. and with only negauve ad-
vantage. While in prison they are
powerless to do evil, but the frequency
of r.committals proves the inefiicaey OF
the systems of penal discipline cif'rsed
in the majority of Indian prisons
