ernOr Stone TO punish the muroerers |

And now Mr.. J. d. G. Atkins of
Tennessee is simultaneously brought
forward as a candidate for thcSpeak-
ership. H. has 10 end of qualiica-
tons, and believes in Mr.. Tom SCOTS
Texas-Pacilic scheme. Each an
nouncement of this character insurcs
plenty Of music at the Democratic
caucus.
The fact must not be lost sight of
that the ulta clements in both political
parties are doing everything in their
power to break down the policy Of
pacifcation which, though not yet
three months old, has already conferr-
ed countless blessings on the country.
They are plotting to prevent Con
servatlye support of all just measures
Of the Administration, and force the
President to acknowledge only the
Bourbons of his party.-NemphiS

The subject Of internal improve
ments of general character having
been talked up in various sections,
the Cincinnati Commercial is led to
make calculation of the amount eX-
pended by the Government in that di-
rection. 1t finds that al! the Gov
eminent appropriations for railroads,
canals, &c, from 1889 to 1875,
amounts to abuot $104,000,000, of
which sum $84, 100000 was in Pacif-
ic Railway subsidies. The Cnmmerc-
idl add: cit results from these fig
ures that what the Government is
now asked to guarantee for one single
internal Improvement, the Southern
Pacific Railroad, demands as much
almost as has been expended in inter-
nal improvements from 1889 to 1875,
including the enormous Pacific Rail
way subsidies Of eighty-four millions.
And single one Of the great canal
improvement schemes now proposed
in the South will cost more than three
times as much as the Government laid
out for every canal. highway and
military road constructed or aided by
the United States from the beginning
until now ;"
They are talking about the next
Governor in Massachusetts. If the
present Governor will forgo private
claims to his time, there will be 4 loud
call for his denomination. His con-
victions are so positive that the peo-
pie feel that q safe nan has hold Of
the helm.
General Butler having purchased
an estate in Colorado, it is argued
that he proposes to shake the dust OF
Massachusetts from his feet and locate
in the land of the potato bug. This
surmise is illogical. 1t no more fol-
lows that he is going to Colorado be-
cause he has bought few thousand
acres than it would be than he pror-
osed to settle in Nenezula because ho
happened to own q few claims against
that benightcd country.
We are sorry Mistress Gail Hamil,
ton did not take up the dirIlct Boston
papers before she exhausted herself
on the New York and Chicago papers,
r for she might have said something
sharp. When the good little lady
gets through her scolding it will be a
relief to the public, for great many
people are kindly inQuiring who con,
: stituted her the censor of the Ameri-
can press. But Mistress Gail is an
organ and she must play her part.
Senator Morrissey was one Of the
fairest Of tie Democrats in the New
York Assembly, and he has set up
pool rooms in jersey City because
they are prohibited by law in New
York.
On the 9th Of August the State of
Virginia votes on The question of re
moving the Capital. There is so
: much interest over the question that
} q vote is anticipated which will indi-
cate a remarkable increase Of the vot-
ing population.
A correspondent of the Nation, who
evidently has no sympathy for South
Carolina Republican, says that the
, intolerance still exists among the ma
) tive whites of that State Republicans,
= white or black. This extends TO bust
ness as we'll as social relation and
politics, and will form hindrance to
; the progress Of the State. He CON
1 cludes that there is no hope for the
4 development Of the resources Of the
State until there are two parties with
native born citizens in each.
The objective points of any just
policy toward the South must be the
protection Of all citizens in equaI
? rights and the creation of confidence
Y between races and classes naturally
q jealous of each other. The old policy
failed to accomplish either of these
{ objects.
