TO THE SUMMER TOURIST.

Those Of our citizens who are fortunate enough
to be able to seek respite from the labors Of the
business season just closed. and to recuperate
their energies at some Of the many delightful
summer resorts TO be found In the Northern
States and Canada. will be glad to learn that the
old favorite jackson route, under vigorous and
efficient management. has become one OF the
very best travelling thoroughfarss in the country.
Hundreds OF thousands OF dollars have boon
expended, as we are credbly informed, during
the past twelve months for new iron and steel
rails, new cross-ties and new bridges, and TO- day
it may be safely said that no road south Of the
Ohio river surpasses the great Jackson route in
smoothness and perfect safety. We have had
occasion, during the past few weeks, to travel
quite extensively over that road, and we thus,
from actual experience. bear witness to its ex-
celence in every particular which goes to consti-
tute good road.

The speech which was delivered by Senator
Spofford at the Alumni meeting of Amherst
College, some time ago. was so Incorrectly re-
ported in the papers here that, in justice to
the Senator, we publish in another column
what we have reason to believe to be the most
correct report that was made Of the substance
Of it. The speech was an extemporaneous
one. Senator Spofford Is one Of the few men
in this country who are intellectually so well
equipped that they can dispense with the la
borious preparation Of addresses Of this kind.
But this very facility Of speech exposes its
possessor to the annoyance Of being incor-
rectly reported-an annoyance not suffered
by such demagogues as Blaine, who usually
distribute among the newspaper offices of
The country printed copies Of their speeches
before they are delivered.
The address in question, as we read 1t in
the Springfield Republican, breathes spirit
Of genuine patriotism, and we can heartily
applaud every sentiment expressed in it, We
feel certain that it produced good effect
upon his Massachusetts, auditors, and that
Senator Spofford on the occasion referred to,
contributed much to the good work Of bring
ing about a better feeling and understanding
between the people of the North and South.

the monthly rent does not exceed cas-. In adopt
ing this plan, the managers of the DEMOCRAT feel
that they will greatly benefit those not financial

usurping government of Kellogg. It is not
| necessary to recall the circumstances that led
| to the events fof that memorable day to Illus
trate the popular odium that attached to him
by reason of the position he occupied. He
was the inspirer, the leader, the main sup
port of the most hateful tyranny that ever
free people were subjected to, and, as such,
he had incurred the bitterest hatred and re-
sentiment that man could provoke from an
outraged people. In the fight on that day.
while leading his mercenaries against the
people, he was shot down and desperately
wounded. The police fled before the
charge of the White League leaving
their commander to fall into the hands of the
Infatuated citizens. He was lying upon the
street desperately wounded and utterly help
less, and in this condition he was taken pris-
oner by the people whose anger he had pro-
voked by every conceivable atrocity Did
they seek to wreak their vengeance upon their
PROSTATE foe2 MOI They not only spared
his life, but carefully laid him upon litter
and carried him to the Charity Hospital,
where through skillful and tender treatm ent,
he was restored to health and strength.
Contrast the conduct Of our "ruffianly''
White Leaguers towards their fallen foe with
that of the Pittsburg rioters towards the I'M
fortunate young militiaman who was shot
down in the street yesterday, and whose sub
sequent troubles are graphically described in
our Geographic columns.
1t Is not necessary that we should dilate
upon this subject and sing p9ans of praise over
the humane behavior Of our citizen soldiery
The two incidents referred to speak more elo-
quently for themselves than wealth Of words
but we hope that, considering the occurrences
Of yesterday, at Pittsburg radical maligners
Of our White League, like the editor of the
Dispatch of that city, will hereafter cast out
the beam from their own eyes before they
pick at the mote in ours.

FEDERAL MILITARY In STATE AZ
FAIRS.

The call upon the President for United
States troops to aid in suppressing mobs in
the States is very regrettable incident Of the
late disturbances on the railroads at the
North. The States where these disturbances
have occurred have abundant means and
power to suppress them, and to arrest and
punish the violators of the peace and of the
rights of other citizens. Ii their officers have
not the vigor and firmness to employ the
power and resources at their command to
prevent the destruction of property and the
interruption Of all business by these too fre-
quent demonstrations Of lawlessness and
turbulence the people Of these States should
suffer the consequences of their own fault In
electing incompetent, cowardly and dema-
gogical officials, whose shortcoming and
delinquency ought not to be eked out by ap-
peals to the Federal Executive.
The Governors of States like Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, Maryland and Ohio ought to
be- ashamed to send to Washington for
troops to put down such mob violence as
has occurred on the lines Of the railroads.
If the people at the call Of their proper Off
GERS will not execute their own laws and sup
press disorders among their own pop
ulation, they ought to abdicate their
authority, right and claim to self-govern-
ment and surrender their jurisdiction
and sovereignty to the Federal Govern
ment This interference on the part OF
Federal troops with the enemies Of the laws
within the States has been the fruitful
source of the troubles in the South since our
civil war. Such interference always aggra-
waited the evil it was invoked to prevent and
extirpate It has only been since the with
drawal Of such intrusion into the administra-
tion of our home government that
In the States of the South
resistance to the execution of the laws has
ceased and peace and order been maintained
Here, in the State of Louisiana, we venture to
affirm that mobs of the character of those
which have set at defiance the whole power Of
the States of Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and Maryland would be promptly suppressed,
and that the government of this State would
never demean itself so ANONYMOUSLY as to
appeal to the Federal Executive for the en-
ployment of the military to that end. We
should rely here upon the posse comitatats of
our own people, to enforce our laws and main
tain peace and order 1t was evidently in the
contemplation of the founders OF our govern
ment that the Executives of the States should
exhaust their own power and means before
calling on the Federal Executive. This was
the course pursued in the whisky rebellion in
Gen. Washington refused to
march the United States troops against the
insurgents until the militia OF the State had
been called out and had proved inefficient
The same rule should be observed now by the
government at Washington. Let the States
enforce their own laws and suppress the dis
orders and punish the crimes and offenses OF
their own people.

The enterprising and inventive New Or
leans correspondent Of the New York Herald
has unearthed two more theories relative to
the true inwardness of the proceedings
instituted against our late Returning Board
Of unsavory memory. He telegraphs from
here that from statement made by men,
Dor OF the Grand Jury it appears that Judge
whitaker, few days before the 9th, ap-
peared before them and threatened their dis
honorable discharge If the indictment was
not found. Up to this time action had been
refused; but under fear of this the request
was made to District Attorney Finney, as
published in the Herald"
ms is sufficiently startling news to US. but
1t by no means exhausts the Herald CORE
spondents stock of theories. We had SIN.
posed that the matter was one Of loool IN
port, Out IL appears now that it has direct
bearing upon the Speakership of the House
OF representatives We learn from the same
source that the Bourbon element Of tbo
Democratic party here, fearing lest HAYES
might succeed in having some conservative
Republican or Southern policy" man
elected Speaker, procuredathe action of the
legal authorities against the Returning
Board, hoping by their trial and conviction
to furnish substantial proof as to the lille
gality of Hayes's claim to the Presidency
and causing those favorably inclined toward
him to call halt"
Verify, necessity is the mother of inven-
Iion, and the prevailing dearth of stirring
events In this part Of the country has stimu-
lated the fancy of enterprising correspond
ents to the verge of insanity.

On the 18th instant Governor Matthews, OF
West Virginia, called upon President Hayes
for the assistance Of the United States mill
tary in suppressing the riot at Martins
burg. The President Immediately directed
The Secretary Of War to inform Governor
Matthews that he was "averse to Intervention
unless it is clearly shown that the State is UNI
able to suppress the insurrection." For this
sound and statesmanlike action President
Hayes is entitled to great credit. 1t shows
that he aims at carrying out the spirit as well
as the letter of the constitution.
