Senator's. RepreSe

We heard none of this howl about a solid
Republican south when the Republicans Sc
cured majority by enfranchising the blacks,
DISTINGUISHING the whites, and. controlling
elections by military rule. While the south
was made solid Republican, the New England
States presented solid east for the Republi-
cans in the senate, and the same in the house,
with the exception Of single Democratic
member from Connecticut. These facts show
how hypocritical is the cry of the Republican
papers about the solid Democratic south.
When the solid Republican south was goring
the Democratic OK, it was all right and mar
velously proper. But in 1874 tidal wave
swept over the country. The people decided
at the ballot-box that they were tired of mil
itary rule and carpetbag thievery. 1t was
not surprising that the southern people voted
solid for the party that had iabored to free
them, in preference to the party that
had made the south solid Republi-
can by enfranchising the blacks and
DISTINGUISHING the tax-paying whites. Every
patriot will deeply regret to see the country
divided into a solid north and solid south.

southern people proclaim themselves ingrates
by sacrificing the Democrats who secured
home-rule and voting for the party which
entailed upon them ruin and bankruptcy, and
which still calls them traitors and rebels.
The south has no war upon the north-pro-
poses no aggressions. 1t is only solid IN its
own defense. The triumph of the Repub-
lican party means political death for the
southern people, and hence they are
fighting for life itself. When the
south was solidly Republican, her people
were under the rule of the negroes led by
political Adventures whose rule made the
south pandemonium. Under Democratic
rule the south is tranquilized, locking to the
restoration of her material prosperity. She
has no idea of repudiating the intellect and
the wealth of the south. and restoring the
rule of the ignorant blacks and the political
Adventures, who formerly ruled and ruined,
for the sole purpose of showing to the north

THE MEANING OF THE GREEN
BACK BUSINESS.

The New York Herald is too severe upon
the Greenbackers. 1t calls attention to the
fact that they claimed two hundred and
fifty thousand votes in New York and got
less than eighty thousand. They claimed
two hundred and fifty thousand in Pennsyl
vania and got eighty-one thousand. They
claimed one hundred and twenty-five thou
sand in Michigan and got seventy-two thou
sand. They claimed ninety congressman
and got eight, aud showed once more that
:hey were as a club in the hands of the Re-
publicans with which to defeat the Demo-
Gratis; but that was all. Fortunately" adds
the Herald, ION the first of January the
country will resume specie payments; and
then, unless the Democrats break up their
own organization and join the Greenback
party and march on to sure defeat under the
banner Of initiation, we shall hear no more of
the Greenbackers, unless they come out in
their true colors as land SPECTATORS and sub
sidy mongers.'

WHAT THE SOLID SOUTH MEANS.

The Mobile Register, a southern Demo-
cratic paper Of purest mold, reioices over the
'solld south" in this wise: To-day the
Democratic party rules in the national legis-
lature, and the south can control the action
of the Democratic party. No longer despised
and down trodden, it has regained its place
in the councils of the nation, and sends once
more its statesmen to rule the destinies Of the
republic. What should be its course, then,
in the position it now occupies? First, it
should never swerve in It's allegiance to that
great party which has delivered it from worse
than Egyptian bondage; second, it should
show that it has the best interests of our
whole country at heart For we are one peo-
pie and enc country; and as the human body
ever feels through every vein and tissue the
injury of any of its parts, so does disaster or
misfortune in any portion of this land affect
the whole. The lingering and smouldering
embers of the baneful fires of sectionalism
must no more be allowed to blaze up anew,
but the advance Of our great republic on the
road to renewed prosperity and progress must
be accelerated by every hand"

whose madness already resembles ap-
preaching ia e.riremis. As an indication of
what Is going on, we fHd mention in the
commercial column Of the st. Louis Republic
can, Of Monday, of a shipment by rail, fox a
foreign port, Of hundred barrels Of alcohol.
This shipment is notable, says the Republic
can, "as the first direct shipment for
Europe from St. Louis by the way Of the
ietties, although it is confidently expected
that regular movement OF this product will
be made from here, henceforth, as it can be
done from one to one and half cents
cheaper per gallon than from the Atlantic
seaboard." While the grasping eastern
roads are cutting each others threats, the
ietties are gradually, but surely, preparing
a change in the direction OF a large portion
Of the southern and western trade, that Will
bring the eastern railway men to their senses
with decision and certainty they Will find
more strange than agreeable, especially to
treasures exhausted by such wild competi-
ton as we are now witnessing.

HON. VAN u. MANNING ELECTED.

The result in the second Mississippi con-
gressional district has been IN doubt, but we
are gratifed to know that Hon. Van Il. Man
ming has been reelected by handsome ma
jority. He carried the counties Of DeSoto,
Tate, Yalobusha, Lafayette, Benton, Union,
and Tippah. Amacker carries two counties
only-Marshall and Tallahatchie-Panola
giving him merely plurality. The triumph
Of such men as Young, Atkins, Chalmers,
Hooker, Money and Muldrow would have
been incomplete without the election of Man
ming from the second Mississippi district, for
he is a man of intelligence and ability,
thoroughly deserving of the confidence
of his fellow-citizens. As member of con-
gress Van H. Manning has steadily gained
in influence in the house, by his practical
views, his energy and courage, his clear con-
victions and great abilities. He is intimately
identified with his district and is man of
sterling integrity. His usefulness during
another term will be greater than it has
already proved, and his election will be most
gratifying to the country.

THE SOUTH ONCE SOLID FOR THE
REPUBLICANS.

The new howl of the Republican papers
about a solid south strikes no terror to the
southern people. Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas
and other northern States have had solid Re-
publican delegations in congress for years;
yet these same proscriptlve, sectional States
hold up their hands in holy horror because
the south votes for her political friends in
stead of her enemies. Only a few years
ago, by the aid of the bayonet, the Republ1-
can leaders kept the south solid on their own
side. The Republicans entranchised the ne
groes for the sole purpose of making the
south solid for the Republican party. In
this expectation they temporarily succeeded.
When the south was under bayonet rule the
vote in the forty-frst congress stood as fol-
lows:

POOLING THE ISSUES.

Il is rumored in New Orleans that United
States Marshal Jack Wharton and Attorney
General Beckwith are IN danger of losing
their places, because they have not been as
diligent in making arrests and prosecuting
for violations of the Federal election laws as
the administration demanded. They have
both gone to Washington to explain. When
they left New Orleans it was said they had
different stories to tell, which might result in
the removal of one and the retention of the
other. Jack Wharton, not to be left GU. in
thu cold, got on the same train with Beck
with, and it is thought viii succeed in pool
ing the issues with that official before the
national capital is reached. We shall see.

RAILROAD COMPETITION.

The eastern railroads are all at logger
heads again. They are cutting" against
each other with an assassin-like violence and
a suicidal recklessness that shows unsound-
ness somewhere. The worst fact for them is
that the future is Offering no consolation.
The Mississippi river is evidently to become
a serious rival TO the eastern roads, and the
freight that is indispensable to them-as
they are now carried on-will, to a consider
able extent, seek a foreign shore by the
Mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico, rather
than by eastern Atlantic ports. The jetties
have introduced a formidable rival to roads

CINCINNATI GUSH.

The Press Reporter Joins with the Balance
of the People in Going Wild Over the
Music Festival.
CINCINNATI, May 15.-The per rformance of the
orchestra at the matinee was simply perfection,
and it added fresh laurels to it's already well
known power. The Largho for violins, violas,
harp, organ and violin obligato brought Thom-
as himself to the front with his violin, and the
exquisite beauty of the music drew forth bursts
of vociferous applause. Signor Talgiopetra, in
his 'Song of the Palms, was the recipient of
lnnumerable bravOs, and the audience mani
tested genuine enthusiasm.
Madame Pappenheim, in the aria from ''Rob-
ert LIE Diable," " was grand, and rendered the
noble music with great dramatic power and
effect.
Miss Cary's first appearance in the aria 80,
Don Fatale," met the same warm reception
she always receives in CINCINNATI and her man
ner evinced that she felt at home. The con-
cert, as a whole, was perfect success, without
flaw or blemish.
The evening was given over to the rendition
of 'Handels Messiah The audience was
tremendous, every seat filled and all available
standing room occupied, while many could not
get beyond the corridors. Probably 1000 peo-
pie We're within the building. Mr.. Thomas
attempted to start punctually and regardless
of late corners. The orchestra finished the
overture, and there they stopped while the
multitude were gaining their seats. delay
of ten minutes ensued before the oratorio COM
menced. The special points in the performance
were marked with crisp and hearty plaudits,
and the honors were evenly divided between
the soloists, orchestra and chorus.
The second and third parts of the oratorios
filled as they are with musical beauties, were
given faultlessly, the immense Chorus Song
with the precision of a simple quartette, and
it was remarkable for it's fiexibiity as well as
power. Its wonderful execution Of the 'Hal-
lelujah Chorus" was probably never excelled
in America.
AS an entirety, the performance this evening
was an improvement upon that Of the opening
night, while the audience, keenly appreciative
of the beauties Of the oratorio, has been
prodigal with its applause and bravos.
The soloists of the evening were Miss Cary,
Miss Osgood, MIR. Adams, Mr.. Fritzch and Mr..
Whitney, all of whom added to their already
we'll established fame as lyric artists.
