CAPITAL in the South.

The Washington correspondent OF the Bal
timore american of the l3tb, has the follow
ing significant paragraph. 1t speaks for IT.
self, and needs 10 comment. 1t is a. subject
we have so frequently discussed in these col
umns, that We have wearied in its presenta-
ton, to be dsregarded In the whirl and ex-
element of pArtlzan ascerbities, as 1t has
been. The time will come, when the read
ers Of the vIRGINIAN will remember the
appeals we have made for the material inter-
ests OF our section, and recognize the force
OF what we have said. The South Is shutting
itself out from the business currents and
influence Of the world by considering as
paramount the ascenlancy OF political or
ganizatlon which has proved more disastrous
to it than an invading army. Virginia, es-
pecially. is interested In liberallzing polite
al thought, and throwing off the petty des-
potlsm which has kept he- crushed to the
earth to crafty the ambition OF trading poll
ticians.
The correspondent Of the american says
The effect Of the disordered condition oil
is strikingly Illustrated by the recent action
of "a foreign agent OF one Of the principal
German steamship lines. This gentleman
came to Washington to inquire in what parI
of the country his company could purchase
suitable timber lands, from which needed
supplies could be obtained. His object was
to make purchase OF tracts Of land anl
open extensive works for preparing all kind
OF ship timber. Having been insormed thai
Just snch lands as he desired could be pur
chased at low figure in Alabama, the for
eigner replied that under no circumstance
could his principals be persuaded to invest
dollar in Southern property. or to send thei
employees there.
In answer to assurances that Alabama wa
free from all political disturbances, he sale
that while he supposed such was the case
nevertheless the belief had become 80 genei
al in Europe that the Southern States wer
In an un eett!ed condition. and that the right
OF 1person and property, especially Of thos
not natives, were SO constantly diregarde
as to render it impossible to induce capital
lists to trust either their money or the repre-
the South. he further observed that latel
this feeling had increased among foreig
. capitalists, owing to the lenient and conser'
alive course pursued by President Haye
The interference of the general goyernmel
in Southern affairs, he remarked, had in tt
