On the lst of May 1876 the ownership and
oontrole of THE WORLD passsd into the hands
Of the undersigned, under whose absolute and
untrammelled directions THE WORLD has
ever since remained and now remains.
During the whole of this time THE WORLD
has labored patiently and perseveringly for no
accomplishment of two 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
under the opperaton Of which it has come to
pass that the people are taxee to support pOliti-
cal parties, whereas political parties have no
other reason of being except to lessen tho bur.
den on the government.
The first Of these objects have been triumph.
antly accomplished. AL intelligent NortGon
men now admit that all parts Of the country
were az deeply Interested as the South in seeing
it won. A corrupt snd anti'Democratic govern.
ascendancy OF true American principles in tho
Federal Government ami therefore to the peace
and honor of the whole people
The second political object for which THE
WORLD contends still remains to be fully ach.
ieved. The actual Administration began its
career with excellent promises in this dircc.
tion of which it is sufficient to say that they
WORLD for part will resolutely support any
honest efforts to redeem these promises fully,
by whatsoever made, and will as resolutely de-
dounce every Obstical thrown in the way of FL
deeming them, from whatever quarter
1t seems to the undersigned emnently proper
that he should ask tho cooperation of the bost
men of the South with THE WORLD in its Of
forts to carry ont the policy here outlined. He
believes THE WORLD to be a paper which
Southern citizens and Democrats can recon-.
mend to Southern readers as all intluece worthy
and important to be brought to bear with con
silently increasing power upon our national at:
airs, in tho interest Of truth, of justice aud of
a rmony among our people of all sections.
1t is my desire to keep THE WORLD in a
lively relation With the best thoughts of the
South, to the end that the best ideas. wishes
and feelings of tho Southern people NAV be
clearly aud fairly known to the North: the East
and the West. Alike in private and III public
affairs the misunderstanding Of men by one an.
other lies at thu root of 80 mnch evil that the
word itself has come t" be a synonym with
quarreling and strife. 1t was wise saving of
Lord Elgin, at the time of ono of our sharpest
disputes with Great Britain, that two intelli.
gent gentlemen alone on a raft in the Atlantic
with plenary power could inst the whole mat
ter hOnOrably in an hour
THE WORLD simply asks its friends at tho
South to aid it in bringing about complete
meeting Of minds on all public questions be-
tween the intelligent citizen of al part of the
Union, WILLIAM HENRY HURLBERT.

From this bridge TO the Company's

Had the pie@ent economical manage

to hundreds OF people. Nine-;cmths Of.
the business is done on contract, and
those who will work get liberal pay for
their labor. Many Of the employees
have been furnished with constant
employment for almost onc-ilfth Of
century, and never has there been any
of those difficulties and troubles be-
tween capital and labor, that has 80
thoroughly shaken other portions of
