ORE CURE FOR THE SOUTH
Tho rapid march of evonta since the Ad.
ministralion Of Alr. HAYES commenced Is
rapidly throwing the South upon It's own re-
sources. Hitherto The wall has periodically
como from tho Southern atateg that they
could do nothing In tho way of self-support
80 long as thoro was the sver.present danger
of Federal interference, and that the pro-
ductiveuoss of their section could not be de-
volopod under tho depressing influences Of
carpct-hng Governments, which wasted thoir
substance aud kept them IN continual tnr-
moil. These clogs upon progress arc now
removed Federal bayoneta no longer stand
betwcon tho people and the State Govern
monta. Carpstbaggera have had their day.
Tho people Of tho South ara free 10 60 on
their way without let or hindranoo. There
Is but ono roya1 road To prosperity, however,
and TINT Is work. The people Of the South
aro now far enough removed from tho in
tlolont days Of slavery to realize this fact.
4 whole generation has come upon tho scene
since tho limo whom men and women who H.
bored lost casts. The quiekost, almost tho
only, solution Of tho problom is not only
tho philosophical realization but tho practical
application Of tho dignity OF labor. Tho
salvation of the South is only to be found
in the gospel Of toll. The negroes must
work aud tho whites must work.. Mon,
women, and children must work. It Is time
that southerners dropped their nonsense
about chivalry and aristocrncy. Those who
have never worked should now work, and
those who hare worked before should now
work the more. Thovo Is plonty Of unom.
ployed matcriai, not only in the cities but In
tho towns and villages, which should now bo
utilized. They must fling their old slavery
traditions to tho winds. giso up their absurd
prcjudices about labor, quit tho cross-road
groceries, abandon their political nonsenao,
take their hands out OF their pockets,
md 60 to work with oarnestnoss
and determination to succeed. They must
put their hands to tho engine, the
plow, tho loom, tho hammer, mud tho
III, and fling away their ahot-gunH, plstols,
and bowie.kniyea. The cotton fields md
sugar plantations aro to bo developed. Tho

DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR LIFE.
1ir. LonExz DhxHTAso was elected to Con-
gress by tho residents Of tho North Division
Of Chicngo md Lake County a. q special
representative Of tho popular demand for
scientific and permanent reform Of the Civil
Service, which means practically return to
tile methods Of the early Administrations Of
the Government. 11r. DnENTANo hhs not
forgotten the principal feature Of his elcc.
tion, and is doroting his attention to this
branch OF public polity. In letter printed
in tho Staats- Zatung Of Monday, aud ttaus-.
lated and reprinted In Tnz Ta1nusE Of yes.
terday, ho makes suggestion which should
be brought Ia tho attontion Of President
HA1Ea and adopted as D rulo Of the foreign
diplomatic and consnlar service. It Is to
tho effect that such foreign service should b
limited to eight years consecutive residence
abroad as representative Of The Govern
ment. THIS rule wns established by Mr..
JEFFERSON when ho was Secretary Of State
under WARRINGTON as result of his
own personal experience, md obtained
until all the carly practices in tho
Civil aervica wcrs abandoned. Alr. JEr-
rERsov said that, after residing abroad
seyon yoazs. ho was atartlea at the
changes that had token place at homo during
| Ills absence, and found that tho now sonti-
ments and conditions wore. almost alien to
him. It was on this ground TINT ho declined
to recommend one Of his warmest friends for
q denomination as Minister to Franco, and
induced WAsurNoTos to rctuso continuance
In Office to any person who had held diplo-
matte position for eight years.
This rulo ia founded in reason and patriot
ism. Tho first requisite Tor foreign dip'o-
matio service is that the representative shall
be thoroughly en- rapport with tito Homo
Government, md in full sympathy with the
characteristics and sonttmonts of tho people
he represents. Eight years' residence abroad
is generally enough 10 denatlonalizo the most
patriotic oitizen to soma cxsent, and at tho
boss alienatos him from tho customs,
thoughts, and tondencics OF lis own
oountrymen. An instance Of this
moy be found in rona1k made
by dcn. S1ok1Es on Lis return to this couu-
try during tho late Presidential campaign.
He came buck after long residence abroad,
apart Of which WIS spent IN diplomatic sorv-
leo, to make speeches Tor tho lAopubllcau
party ho Ind outliyed his spoechea during
Tho voyage, but was heard to romark that lie
had to frame now ones to cover the matters
OF current interest and moot tho changes in

The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1877-12-19

THE Presidents message on the Civil
Service, which will be ready to send
to Congress soon after the holi-
days, will show that the President does
not intend to surrender any position
which he has assumed in his contro-
versy with the Senate. 1t will set forth
the Presidents views with respect to
patronage, and will call attention to
the fact that, by the action of the
Republican National convention, and
by nearly every State convention, Con-
gress, us well as the President, has been
instructed to enforce the civil service
policy, and that the President is simply
endeavoring to carry out to the letter
the instructions given him in advance
by those who elected him. In this mes
sage the President will take very strong
ground as to the constitutional right
of the executive to originate all nomi-
nations. The message will set forth
in clearer light than before what the
Presidents intentions are upon civil
service reform.

The Cause of the Row.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Regarding
the prospect of the arrival of troops to
assist the beleaguared Texans at San
Elizario, the main hope is centered up
on the cavalry companies, numbering
about $50, ordered from Fort Bayard.
This post, only eighty miles distant on
an air line, is, on account of noun
tainous roads, fully 10 miles off. 1t is
hoped that the main part of the COM
mand will reach the point early this
morning.
Representative Mills comedies that
the dispute grows out of the salt lake,
which is fifty miles this side Of the Rio
Grande, and WAS not permitted to be
located, and the Texans and Mexicans
had free access to it. Recently, how
ever, it was purchased by Il company,
and a charge was imposed upon the
right to obtain salt. This resulted in
Il row, and the Mexicans swear they
will have salt free, and threaten ven-
geance Oh those who oppose them. Ad-
ministration circles here think the ar
rival of federal troops will end the mat.
ter.

Congressman Smalls Prosecuted.
Washington, Dec. 1S.-The following
statement is from a friend of Congress
man Smalls, now under conviction in
South Carolina for accepting bribe
while in the State legislature. 1t says
Smalls has never been forgiven by the
rebels for his daring conduct during
the war and especially for his bravery
in gaining possession of Confederate
craft and running her out of Charles
ton harbor one dark night and deliver
ing her up to the Federal blockaders.
He has lived in strong Republican
district, but has been bounded by Con-
federates, and this case has been put
up on him TO destroy his usefulness as
Republican. The only evidence on
which he was convicted was given by
J. Woodruff, q self-confessed felon.
The negroes on the jury were bulldozed
and dared give no other verdict than
they did. Smalls' conduct throughout
has been upright, manly and honest.
He has appealed to the Supreme court
and expects to have the verdict set
aside

La,er-The Rangers Surrender.

Austin, Dec. 1S.-A dispatch has
been received by the Governor from the
sheriff of Ell Paso county, stating that
the State troops surrendered to the
Mexican mob at p. IN. yesterday.
Their ammunition was exhausted and
they were unable to hold out longer.
After the surrender Howard, Atkin-
son and Mcbride were shot to death
by the Mexicans.
Sheriff Kerber telegraphs that the
rest of the Texas State troops who were
not murdered after the surrender will
doubtless meet that fate unless rescued
by the U. S. forces. Large bodies of
Mexican citizens participated in this
massacre. 1t is not probable that the
administration can take any additional
steps for the preservation of peace. The
troops already ordered are moving with
all possible expedition.
