Mr.. Watterson dons his war paint
and feathers and goes for class of
Democratic journals in vigorous
style. He says: at is about time
certain newspapers in the North,
which claim to be Democratic,
should suspend their assaults upon
the fidelity of those Southern Demo
Gratis who refused to fiIibuster. The
history of the effort to place Mr..
Tilden in the Office to which he was
elected is not creditable either to the
craftsmanship or the courage of the
Northern Democratic leaders. When
Congress met, Northern Democrats
were nightly afraid of Southern in
discretion. Unless Southern men
chirped a soft and dulcet note, they
must take back seats. They did
take the back seats, leaving their
Nortnern brethren TO lead. Inc
Northern Democrats knew they held
a blank draft upon the South; they
could fill it at will and it would be
honored on sight. They led and
led, and, finally, when they had lost,
a few of them fred up and would be
content with nothing less than
row. Their valor came too late and
the South refused to follow. 1t is
all over now, and the best thing
both parties can do is to forget it.
The difference was not great enough
to quarrel over at the time. 1t is
certainly not recollectable enough to

Der of the members of the Packard
Legislature are ready to go over.
Two of them did, IN fact, make their
terms with Nichols. Should such
meeting of the Legislature as is
proposed in the instructions to the
Commission be secured, whatever
declaration it may make will be tax
en- by the President for his guidance.
It is reported to be the expectation
of the Commission to return from
New Orleans within a fortnight. 1t
is probable, therefore, that within
six weeks of the Inauguration of Mr..
HAYES, will have reached a def
mite decision touching both the
States whose governments were in
dispute on his accession to Office.
His path will then be clear to carry
out the more permanent features of
bis Southern policy, as well as to en-
ter on the reform of the civil service
on the principles which he announc-
ed in his admirable inaugural ad-
dress.

SOUTHERN MISSOURI.

Eds. Iel.-Having examined most of
the many great farming, grazing and fruit
growing regions of the Great West, do
not hesitate to pronounce Southwest Mis-
souri, superior to any other portion for
vast agricultural, mineral and timber Fe-
sources; stock raising, bee keeping, fruit
growing, manufacturing and railroad IA
eilities; mildness and healthfulness of eli
mate and entire absence of grssshoppers.
AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES.
To insure luxuriant vegetation three
things are necessary, viz: rich soil, suffi-
cient moisture and plenty of sunshine-all
of which exists in Southwest Missouri. Ev-
ery variety of soil is found here that can
be needed in farming, fruit growing or
stock raising, as is shown by the large
crops of all kinds of grains, grasses, vege-
tables and fruits produced. Apples, peach
es, pears, plums, cherries, grapes and all
kinds of berries, flourish, and never entire
ly fail. The wild grapes are almost equal
in size and quality to some cultivated va
rieties of the eastern States.
Blue grass, timothy and clover do well;
and old bee keepers say that wherever clo-
er grows, bees will succeed, and if this is
correct, Southwest Missouri will soon be a
great honey country.
wATER-wNTER-TMB
Water is of the best quality, and abun-
dant. 1t is found in clear, sparkling
springs and rapid streams innumerable
The average annual rain fall is about 40
inches, most of which falls during the
growing season.
The winters are mild and short; the
ground never frozen more than two or
three weeks, and the light SHOWS remain
ing only few days. The altitude is about
two thousand feet above the sea, insuring
delightfully."- cool summers and warmer
winters than in the same latitude east or
west, and as the general slope of the coun-
try is south and east, thre are no high
winds in the northwest.
The rapid descent of the numerous large
streams affords excellent water power for
manufacturing the vast forests of walnut,
oak, ash, hickory, maple, pine, etc., into
lumber, cars, carriages, wagons, furniture,
and agricultural implements; and for driv-
ing the machinery of the Touring, cotton
and wooden mills which must hereafter
largely increase in number, as the grain,
cotton and wool are all produced in the Vi
cinity.
THE HEALTHFULNEss
Of this region is remarkable, owing to the
abundance of bright and genial sunshine,
pure water, excellent bread and beef, few
sudden atmospheric changes, and no
swamp lands within hundreds of miles.
Ague is unknown, and there are no grass
hoppers.
The St. Louis and San Francisco rail-
roads, extending entirely across the State,
and the rich, coal, iron, lead, zinc and
other mines, and the great plains re-
gion west, insure ready market and good
prices for all farm. garden, orchard and
dairy products for all time to come.
By settling in colonies here, good socie-
ty, schools, churches, daily mails, tele-
graphs, mills, and other advantages may
be secured from the beginning; and land
bought at from two to six dollars per acre
of the Railway Company on long credit.

The instructions to the Louisiana
Commission, are of a very simple ma
ture, and therefore all the more
promising of a successful consum-
nation. They were drawn up by
Secretary Evarts, and bear the i'm
press of his admitted force and sim
Plicity. They amount in substance
to about this: The Commission is
advised that the best method of
bringing about an adjustment is to
secure a meeting of the Legislature

Board certificates. 1t is generally

THE VANDERBILT ESTATE.

THE VANDERBILT ESTATE.
The Vanderbilt estate is TO be set
tied without lawsuit, much to the
disgust of the lawyers. William H.
comes down to the extent of giving
his brothers and sisters a million
each, outright, besides the annuities
provided for in their fathers will.
This makes them all comfortable. A
man having a million of dollars in
his own right, and regular income
of 81, 900 a month besides, need not
worry about his earthly future. It
is perhaps better for william that
this settlement is effected, for had
the case gone into the courts a great
many things would have been ex-
posed as to the dead mans business
matters that would have been iniuri-
GUS, and it is certainly better for the
heirs, for they get enough in all con-
science without a fight for it. And
SO this matter blows over and every
body but the lawyers are happy.
A CHEERFUL FRENcHMAN.
A Frenchman named Pelletier,
who sent his wife to New York a
year or two ago to take care of her
self, came over after her three weeks
ago. Mons. Pelletier joined her,
and found her living in comfort, she
having established a very fair con-
nection as a seamstress. But the
gentleman fancied that she had not
been as faithful to him, since her
arrival in New York, as he could
wish, and some gossips in the neigh
borhood added fuel to his Jealous
fame, and he proceeded to arrange
matters in a decided French way.
He bound her on sofa in her room,
and heated a poker to a white heat,
with the purpose of branding her,
but he changed his mind. He pro-
cured quantity of sulphuric acid,
and smeared one side of her face,
burning it in such a manner that
she is disfgured for life. The wo-
man screamed but there was no one
to bear her, and the fend completed
his work. When he had flushed he
remarked to her that he had marked
her so that she would never have
any more lovers, and walked away
and has not yet been found. The
woman was very pretty and those
who know her best say that she was
exceptionally honest and true to the
beast who so cruelty marked her.
Mons. Pelletier ought to be tried by
a jury of women.

to tell all he knows, and nothing can
swerve him from his purpose. The
moment be fell, the other thieves
made him the scape-goat, instead of
standing by him, and for their
treacbery he will show them no
mercy. There is heap of trouble
ahead for New York politicians, and
others viii follow poor Oakley Halls
example. He is only the advance
guard.
POLITICAL.
The bourbon Democracy are max
ing a tremendous effort to stem the
popular tide, and keep up the feel
ing that has unfortunately existed
for fifteen years. The support that
is being given to the policy of the
President, by the Southern Democ-
raev. alarms the bourbons. What
tbey are afraid of is that the South
will rally to the support of Hayes
to an extent that will give the Re
publicans the control of the House,
and make the nucleus of a white Re
publican party in the South. When
this happens down goes the Democ-
racy, for if Hayes can divide them
in the South, on something besides
the color line, there is an end of
trouble. l predict that it will be
done. The South has been made
the tool of the Northern Democracy,
and may properly charge all their
woes to its malign influence. The
New York Democrat has been howl
ing to the Southern Democrat for
twenty years to ''stand frm," but
whenever it came to a struggle, the
South has received "moral support"
only, and very little of that. The
South has had the hard work to do,
and the sacrifices to make, while
Northern Democrats stood ready to
scoop the profits if any should ac-
crue. It's beginning to get through
the wool of the more enlightened
men of the South that it would be
better to ally themselves to a party
which has some power in the North,
and thus get something in the way
of material aid. They want rail-
roads, leVees, and all sorts of help,
which they will never get so long as
they fight the only party that has
any power. Lamar, Hill, and a score
of other sensible men in the South
are ready to make an alliance with
the Republican party, which will
give that country peace. President
Hayes is working to that end, and
he will bring it about. The negro
will have his nights assured, the col
or line win be wiped out, the results
of the war will be acknowledged,
and the whole country united, and
really in accord will go on to pros
perity again. This is what President
Hayes is trying to do, and this is
what the Democracy of the North,
and the lower orders in the South,
are trying to prevent. They can
survive anything but peace.
