IN the LIST of May, 1876, the ownership and
" control Of the THE WORLD passed into
the hands of the undersigned, under whose
absolute and untrammelled direction THE
WORLD has ever since remained and now
remaius.
During the whole of this time The WORLD
has labored patiently and perseveringly for
the accomplishment of two great objects in
politics of paramount interest to the Southern
people.
|. The restoration Of Local Self Government
at the South.
III. A Real Reform of the Civil Service in
such wise as to destroy the political machines
unticr the operation Of which it has come to
pass that the people are taxed to support pO-
litical parties, whereas political parties have
no other reason of being except to lessen the
burdens of government
The first Of these objects have been triumph
antly accomplished. All intelligent Northern
men now admit that all parts Of the country
were as deeply interested as the South in see-
ing it won. A corrupt and anti Democratic
government in the South was "a permanent
peril to the ascendency of true American pI in
ciples in the Federal Government and there
fore to the peace and honor OF the whole peo-
pie
The second political object for which THE
WORLD contends still remains to be fully
achieved The actual Administration began
it's career with excellent promises in this direc-
ton of which it is sufficient to say that they
have been as yet only in part redeemed The
WORLD for its part will resolutely support
any honest effort to redeem these promises
fully, by whonsoevcr made, and will as reso
lutely denounce every obstacle thrown in the
way of redeeming hem, from whatever quar-
ter.
Itseems to the undersigned eminently proper
that he should ask the cooperation OF the best
men of the South with THE WORLD in its
efforts to carry ont the policy here outlined
| He believes THE WORLD to be paper
which Southern citizens and Democrats car
| recommend to Southern readers as an influence
| worthy and important to be brought to beal
| with constantly increasing power upon til.
| conduct of our national affairs, IN the interes
| of truth, of justice and harmony among Oul
people of all sections.
| 1t is my desire to keep THE WORLD in
living relation with the best Thought of tn,
South, to the end that the hest ideas, wishes
and feelings of the Southern people may b.
clearly and fairly made known to the North
the East aud the West. Alike in private ant
in public affairs the misunderstanding Of mel
by one another lies at the root of SO much evi
that the word itself has come to be a synonym
With quarreling and strife. 1t was u wise say
ing OF Lord Elgin, at the time of our sharpes
disputes with Great Britain. that two intelli
gent gentlemen alone on a raft i'll the Atlanti
| with plenary powers could adjust the Who'll
matter honorably in an hour.
THE WORLD simply asks its friends at tn
South to aid it in bringing about "a eomplct
meeting of minds on all public questions be
tween the intelligent citizens OF all parts o
the Union.

Professor johnson says: "Horn, hair
and wool, depend for their efficacy pre-
cisely on the same principle as the
blood and flesh of animals. They differ
chiefly in this, that they are dry, while the
blood and flesh contain from 80 to 90 per
cent. of their. weight in water. Hence a
ton of horn shayings, Of hair, or of dry
woolen rags, contains vastly more fertili.
zing materials than the same weight in
blood or flesh, but the effect of soft animal
matter is more immediate and apparent
while that of hard and dry substances il
less visible, but continues for much long
