I he FIXTURE of the South.

The future of the South is
radiant with promise, and will
more than compensate for tie
bitter trials OF the past. The
process OF political, social, in
dustrial and commercial recon-
struction must necessarily be
slow, and perhaps painful; but
it will be sure, and, when con-
summated, will be permanent,
No one doubts the ability of
the Southern people to make
the most of their remarkably
favorable surroundings, and
their disposition SO to do is not
questioned by those who know
them Intimately and have
watched them closely. As long
as they were practically at the
mercy of an organized band OF
robbers, hacked up by the rest
less authority of the Federal
Government, they had small en-
couragement to do anything.
When they are their own mas
ter. the arbiters OF their own
fortunes, they can and will!
do all that men may do. The
South wants just two things
First, to be let alone in her To-
cal administration; second, such
assistance in the development OF
her exhaustless resources as
Congress can constitutionally
grant. The first she will have
a, soon as Louisiana is free.
The second she ought to have
as soon as it can be extended to
her. For, as we know to our
sorrow, whatever hurts the
South hurts the &orth, and the
growth and prosperity of the
South must inevitably react up
on the North, and and thereby
enlarge and enrich the national
life. st. Louis Republican.
