ACCORDING to the best estimates, in
the next House of Representatives, the
Democrats will have a majority of twenty
five, and in the Senate a majority OF
about ten, not including Senator Davis,
Independent, of Illinois This will give
them a good working majority but in
adopting reform measures they will en-
counter the opposition of Republican
President who was not elected by the
people. If their decision had not been
annulled by unconstitutional methods
and fraudulent devices the Republicans
would have expelled from all the de-
partments of the government.

The SOuIh and Her Developed
Industries.
The Philadelphia North American, a

The Philadelphia North American, a
protectionist paper, says:
| The South's cotton mills are numerous
| and profitable and growing. Now its iron
! furnaces aud mills are lucrative. Now its
/ exports some styles of wooden fabrics and
| these important undertakings are the ma
! tural pioneers of others. Virginia, the
! Carolinas, Alabama. Georgia, Tennessee,
Kentucky. Texas. Arkansas, Missouri, all
| manufacture iron, or cotton. or wool, and
| some of the States named contain all these
| industries. a recent copy of the Colum bus
| ga Enquirer counts up clear profit OF
| 81 100000 rom the cotton mills of that city
! alone. Tie Wilmington On. c. Star re
marks that those who have devoted them
| selves to cotton manufactures here have
| grown steadily rich.' The Chattanooga
| (Tenn.) Times says: Our manufactures
have doubled and quadrupled the worth OF
agriculture and real estate
These interests and industries flourish
| there as they do under the same conditions
which affect them here. They have the
benefit of laws which prevent foreign com
petition and stimulate domestic consump-
ton. The removal of the laws would fleet
them a. it would affect others here"
This is all true, The South has a
diversity OF natural resources which are
being gradually developed aud which
will soon make her the most prosperous
section now since she has thrown off the
rule Of plunderers and established good
local governments emanatiDg from her
own people. Her manufacturing inter
ests are expanding and she is already
beginning to compete with old England
as we'll as New England in their own
chosen markets. 1t is because her
manufactures are in her cotton fields.
But the Northern protectionists are fiat
tering themselves with vain delusion if
they think that because the South is en-
gaging in manufacturing, she will join in
the ciamor for a high tariff to increase
her profits in that industry at the ex
pense Of other classes. She holds that
government transcends the limits of its
authority and abuses its taxing power
when it exercises it to build up the en-
terprises of priva,e individuals at public
expense. If A thinks it proper to invest
his capital in manufacturing it is highway
robbery for government to impose a tax
on what B consumes to add
twenty, fifty or one hundred per cent.
to the profits of A. And yet this is pre-
eisely what the protectionist, so-called,
demands. The South is opposed to the
whole system of privileged classes. She
demands equal rights and no exclusive
privileges. Let the Federal Govern
ment recognize her right to govern
herself under her own laws, and keep its
intermeddling hands off of her, in mat
tiers which do not concern it, and she will
ask no more

might safely leave the matter of print

1t would scarcely be fair to throw the

We would suggest to our contemporaries
to print the tickets that may be needed
for their several localities. The candi

The Bureau Of Education At Washing
ton Is presided over by one Of the adven-
turers whose occupation ceased in the
South when carpet-bag rule came TO an
end-a Mr. Eaton, who iourished as the
editor Of long since defunct newspaper
at Memphis called the Post, during the
Radical ssturnalia in Tennessee He
has availed himself Of his office to send
out the following statement
The 0xress that was mule By North
/ era ueu-tne de-p.Sed carpet b1ggers in
! the interest OF education IN the South - not
only not continued, but the schools that
/ they established as permanent institutions
1 arr either swept away entirely or are leII
- be sustained by private enterprise aud
/ beHevolence.'
| OF course this statement Is known all
over the South to be utterly destitute of
truth In all the States of this section,
the Democratic party has made it point
to keep up the school system under
greatly improved laws. The most con-
elusive answer, however, to the falsehood
/ sent out from the Bureau of Education
is found in the recent Report of the
| Trustees Of the Peabc dy Fund composed
chiefly of Northern men who have NJ
partisan purpose to subserve, nor re
vengeful spirit to crafty as in the case OF
the head of the Bureau of Education.
| The Trustees bear this testimony
! Notwithstanding the unparalleled tinan
! ciai depression, the schools of most of the
| Southern States. iAstead of deterioratin3
| have advanced in almost every respect. The
| attendance was never great; the nteres
| of the people never so general. An APP
! prOxim alton in the mass OF teachers 10 the
! has been effected, sometimes by county or
| ganizalions under State supervision some
times by bringing together teachers IRON
all the counties Il a Congressional District
and in one instance, by assembling the
| teachers of a whole State to receive insrTuc-
ton for period of six weeks. This is a
| new feature il the school operations OF the
| Southern States, and is now more rapidly
| revolutfoniZing modes of instruction than
| any other mode that has been tried. No
| part of the funds at our disposal has pro-
| duced greater or better results than thai
contributed to this object"
Unless it is the intention of the gov
eminent to have lying taught as one Of
the fine arts it would be wise to dispense
with the present head of the Bureau OF
Education.

horror over the disposition of the South
to indulge in lynch law for the brutes in

1t is only few days ago that negro
guilty Of an aggravated assault on a
white girl narrowly escaped lynching at
Ansonia, Connecticut, and pow comes the
news that four negroes were hanged for
the same brutality in Indiana. The Re
publican need not have said that Judge
Lynch had left the South ard gone to

to try villianies of that description. Be it
known by all men that Judge Lynch is
here to stay for the trial and summary
execution of such offenders We know

who is in favor of dethroning Judge
Lynch and abolishing his code made and
provided in such cases, except our ven

SOME admirers of Gov. Hampton
have proposed him for the Vice Presi-
dency. He has given the quietus to this
suggestion in speech delivered by him
at Charleston, recently. He expressed a
desire that South Carolina should regain
her old position in the Federal Union,
and as a means to this end he advised
that her people make a struggle for
principles, not for places that the
Southern States stand together, and in
the next Democratic National Conven-
ton yield both the nominations to the
North. The Charleston News and
Courier, in its comments on the speech,
says:
This counsel sets at rest the talk that
Gov. Hampton aspires to the Democratic
nomination for Vice President in 1880, and
there is no doubt that such abstinence as he
describes will have salutary effect.
