POLITICAL.

Mr.. Mills, oil. Texas, created sen.a-
ion ia the House OF Representatives
Friday ty saying that the opinion OF
Samuel j. Tiiden concerning the all w.
ance Of Southern demands upon the
national treasury we're OF no conse-
qucoce, lnasmuch as he could never
again be taken up by the Democratic
party as candidate for President.

Nothing is so far from the purpose
of the people OF the South as 10 use
any political power they may acquire
Tor the destruction OF the federal gov
erument. We have found the goose
chat lays the golden eggs, and we pro-
pose 10 make her attend strictly to
business, and the man that lays his
hand on her save in the way OF affec-
tion. we propose to 'shoot on the
spot"
This, we suppose, is TO be regarded
rs measuring the patriotism of large
portion Of our Southern brethren.

property the report says would be q
great innovation and long step in the
denial of the brotherhood OF man and
the broad humanitarian policy OF the
fathers.
