: A solid south


What now is the cry about? II is not even
alleged that the negro is not paid for his
labor 1t is not charged that the negro
is cheated in business affairs. 1t Is not
claimed that his rights in property arc
infringed. 1t IS not asserted that he
does not get his own. The indictment il
that he'doesn't vote the Republican ticket as
Republicans think he ought "Only this, and
nothing more" 1t is not the happiness Of the
coored man, but the happiness of the Repub-
lican party that is disturbed. The black man
votes with his friends, with the men that give
him employment and pay him, or, attending
to his humble business, he doesn't vote at all,
and the Republicans North think that there
has been a great outrage This is a large
fraction of the Southern question. The negro
only asks to be let alone TO earn his bread for
his wife and children. 1t Is chiefly Republic
cans who want his vote that will not let him
alone. 1t is not the negro in the South that
complains of being robbed OF his righdlg it is
the Republican politicians in the North. The
colored people have all the rights which the
ballot was given them to secure. If the coun-
try were to wait for them to enter cog plant,
there would be no sectional question i'll our
politics at all.

A Judgment for 80. GOA, 600.



On October :. 1854. George 7. Walker gave
a promissory note to William Hood for $3.50,
payable IN six months and bearing three per
cent per month Interest," which was To be com
pounded and added to the principal if not
paid each month. As security for the note u
mortgages was given on some land In Santa
Clara county, where Walker then lived. No
interest WIS ever paid on the note. and before
its maturity Walker had left the State for
Mexico where he took up his permanent resi-
denee. A few months ago, however, he re-
turned on q visit to this city. and then suit
was brought to recover on the note. On COM
putting the interest it was found that, added
to the principal. the amount due WAS $1,000
900, and to-day Judge Morrison rendered a do
fault Judgment for that amount. 1t Is be-
leved that Walker has already returned to
Mexico "

The south Carolina Prosecutions.

.
South Carolina can take care Of her citizens,
white and colored. False swearing will not
avail to convict respectable citiSns in the
United States Court, and they VINO periure
themselves will take short road to the State
penitentiary. The State will go further
Carolina who are allowed to 60 free in con-
formity with ''the Cancellation policy of the
Hampton administration. They and their
Northern friends have not responded as they
should to our good intentions" and it will
not take long to put a few score of the big and
little rogues in jail, by civil processes" if
the Cancellation policy" be indeed failure.
The Radicals generally. and the eolored peo-
pie particularly, have infinitely more to lose
than any other class, by the arrest for sup
vices OF the Radicals are the whips with
which we scourge them. And, unless Mr..
Hayes compels his officers to be fair and
impartial, the dance will soon begin.

A GARDEN.

There's n garden by a river,
Where the grasses bend and culver
On the rivers reedy edges.
Roses crimson all the hedges
And n ieafy lane runs down
Through the meadows to q town.
In a winding way.
But where lies that garden blowing.
Where that river Silly flowing,
And the lawn through meadows going,
] shall never say.
Something fairer than n rose
In that unknown garden grows.
Something eweeter than the rhyme
Sung by birds i'm lilaetima
Fairer than dream Of youth
Thought all lost To care and ruth,
Something with heart like May:
Rrae and lily all In one:
Golden hair caught from tho sun;
Eyes with laughter overrun.
What2 Ill never say.
Dreamy face and rosebud mouth.
Breath like spring winds from the south.
Eyes disclosing moro than lies
Hedged beneath the Bonded skies
or day In May.
So when days grow longer. sweoter.
Grow the rare June hours complnter:
And the winters time FOR showing
Leave the June winds9,hance for blowing.
l will seek this garden growing
Where I'll never say

The total represents the amount OF money
tho government has invested in the District Of
Columbia. under the items named, mona Of
which. under the statutes. Is taxable. The
government owns all the streets, avenues,
alloys, parks and public grounds in Washing
ton. and Is proprietor Of about onc-halt the
acreage Of the city. in lieu Of taxes it an
nually provides onc-half Of the money re-
CURED to support the District government.
The money expended for works of art seems
enormous. but Sl25OO0 Of IL IL invested in the
Corcoran art gallery IN peculiar way. When
the war broke out CorCoran Sympathzed with
the South and went to Europe. The art gallery
which bears his name had been erected, but
not occupied The government seized 1t and
used II during the war. When Corcoran came
home. in 1861 he brought suit for rent. and
Sl25.NOO was paid him, with the stipulation
that ii should 10 q part Of the endowment OF
the gallery. Tho other Investments for art
have been very extravagant There are many
good pieces and many poor ones IN the possess
sion OF the government but in almost every
case extravagant prices have been paid. and
the purchase made for other reasons than the
artistic excellence of the article. For instance,
the hideous. nude statue of Washington, which
stands opposite the east front of the Capitol,
cost 40 "a. The equestrian statue Of
Scott, at the intersection of Rhode Island and
Massachusetts Avenues. which Is perhaps
the best piece of its kind in the city, cost the
enormous sum of $4,000. The equestrian
w
tersecton of Pennsylvania Avenue, X and
Twenty-second streets, cost sos 30 and Clark
Mills statue of Jackson, which occupies La
tayette square. opposite the Executive Man
sion, cost S2S, i42. The marble figure Of Lin
coin, which stands on marble shaft in front
Of the City Hall cost $i500O, and the wretched
statue of Rawlins. which stands down on tho
river bank, surrounded by negro cabins, cost
$4,000.
The ridiculous groups Of Columbus and the
Frontierman's family on the east portico OF
the Capitol cost Tho former $5J, 900 and the
latter $4,000. Tho historical paintings by
Jonathan Trumhul in the Capitol arotunda
cost $32O0o and IIcaly's collection of prcsi-
Dental portraits cost $500, which was rs good
an investment as any made. Another good in
vcstment was the S60,0nOo spent in frcscong
the Capitol corridors and committee rooms.
Brady's collection Of photographs OF distin-
guished mon cost $4,000.
II appears that Major L'Enfant, the French
man who planned the city Of Washington in
1879, received only $1394 for his services, while
Walter, the architect who designed the CaEl-
tol building got 100000.
1t cost $4S,33S So to remove the seat OF gov
eminent to Washington in 1900.
