consequent upon the war. Exceptions there are
to this rule in all the States. But the old plant
ers, and the sons of old planters, who have bowed
cheerfully 10 the inevitable are an Insignificant
fraction in comparison with the great host who
talk politics and cherish the notion that, in one
way or another, the Federal Governments bound
to atone for the losses entsiled upon them BY the
rebellion. These are the people who, after sys-
tematicaly repelling Northern settlers and de-
stroying the credit Of their own States by alter
natey Sealing" and repudating public debts, turn
to Congress with general I'm iterlslastc issue,
and a specific call for grants and loans large
enough to drag the credit of the National Govern
ment to the level of that Of Tennessee.
The pretense that the aid soaght, ruinous as it
would be to the Government, is only part of what
justly aud rghtlully belongs" TO the South is one
of the fictions which pass current among people
who are doing literally nothing TO better their own
condition. As long as the land grant system last
ed the South received its full share. Alabama, Ar
kansas, Florida Louisiana, Mississippi Missouri,
and Texas are so many Illustrations of the fact
that the slave holding States profited by the reck-
lessness with which the Government squandered
its lands to encourage the building of railroads.
If these States have been benefited less by the
grants than the free-labor States of the North
west the explanation may be found in the nferi-
or energy Of the managers of the grants and in
the swindling uses to which some of them were
put The history of Arkansas railroads for instance
SO sinks in the nostrils of victimized investors
that the man who should talk of Arkansas in con-
nection with loans enterprises would be consd
cred fit for an asylum-or penitentiary. Even
the Texas Pacific and the Southern Pacific pro
jects. and the New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and
Nlcksburg Road, have received large grants from
the Government, which is once more to be asked
to make them ncumbrance upon the tax-pay
of the country. SO far as railroad aid is con-

The mealy mouthed democrats of Maine
are dreadful mad with Marcellus Emery
for the reason that he had the courage to
face bis own convictions and denounce
Williams for his treachery in falsifying
the democratic platform. All the other
democratic editors beied their own con-
victions and swallowed Williams, false
hoods and all. Emery would not do it.
They hope Emery is dead. Vain hope !
Emery will lead the van next year, and
every one of these beligerent editors will
sit at bis feet as they did during the rebel
lion, and swallow his wisdom like sweet
morsel.- See if they don't !!-Maehias
Republican.
