Reviving Prosperity in the NOutI,.

WASHINGTON, September 2G.-Gen. A.
9. Jones, who made nn extended and Of.
fetal tour through the Southern States,
represents that everything throughout
the South bears the appearance Of grow.
ing prosperity and reviving trade.
President Hayes, in an interview, saws
that as far, as he was able to Judge the
Southern people were as enthusiastic and
loyal 10 the representative Of common
government as any, gnd he hoped that
there was no particular South; that the
Southern and Northern interests we're
identical, and that the main object to be
considered was the unity OF interest in
improving the material prosperity OF the
country. He desired to learn the wants
and conditions OF the people throughout
the union, and that the people were the
best judges Of the effect Of Ills Southern
visit. He summed it up by saying,
nothing could be pleasanter than my
trip throughout the country. Itis appar.
emily recovering from It's extreme busl.
ness prostration, and the agricultural
South seems to have felt the hard times
less than others, and I believe the era OF
good feeling between the North and South
Is permanent and they are sincere in
their expressions,

demands from the South exceed those ol

affairs is owing to the large crops raised
in that region, which are now being rap
idly shipped and paid for. From The
West the inquiry is not up to expecta

The Proposed Extra Session OF
the LEGISLATURE.

We are greatly Gratitied TO observe the
ananimlty with which the press of this
State cry out against the projected extra
session Of The Legislature, project that
seems TO have originated with the i'm.
mortal Gibson, the late Speaker, and
Wm, Z. Arnold, Of Weston, the gentleman
who wanted tax Of ten cents on the SlOO
levied on all the taxable property OF the
State in order 10 raise an internal i'm,
provement fund. So far as we have OBJ
served the agitation in favor Of said extrS
session ia confined 10 these two gentle
men, and we incline 10 the opinion
that il will not extend much beyont
them. The Huntington AdreriiScr de-
serves special credit for the pains which

presses the hope that no act similar to
that will hereafter be committed, and
that if any measures shall be
deemed necessary in order to remedy
evils on the frontier which it
may be necessary to carry out
on Mexican soil, such measures will be
adopted and carried out by both Gov
ernments jointly, since an incursion of
foreign troops into the territory of Mex
leo, besides being at variance with the
principles which govern nations in times
of peace, may in his country bring the
Administration into very serious con-
flicts and materially disturb the peace of
the Republic. This last consideration
would, he says, probably be sufficient
for the friendship of this Government,
for it will not wish to run the risk of
causing such terrible evils to its neigh
Dor when it relies upon the good will of
the latter to secure the just ends which
il seeks to attain.
