A Southern View of Union.

Much is heard about the perfect con-
cliation that exists in the Sonth; that
all old feeling is wiped out, and that
all is harmony and good feeling In that
section of the country. A Democrat
newspaper published at Corlnth, Mis-
sissippi, does not Indicate that this
rose colored view is correct. In spite
of all the olive branches of peace that
have been extended to the South, the
Corlnthian certainly remains stiff-neck.

determined against the North. 70
show our readers the pure cussedness
that still exist in some parts, at least,
of the South. we make brief quo
tatlon from a recent number of the
Corinthian That paper says:
Let the solid South meet the united
North with a bold undaunted courage,
for we are just as confident as we are
that we edit this paper that division
of states will be attempted again in
the future just as sure as it was in 1861.
The North is too tyrannical, too sus-
picious, too aggressive, too iealons; too
vind!ctivc; the South too lofty,
too naughty, too ambitious and too
proud. A union of States is and al
ways will be CALLING"
This does not justify the clam of
most Democratic papers, that there is
complete change of heart in the
Southern people; and that all things
are amiable, lovely and of good report.
To hold other wise is to wave the
bloody shirt, to turn back the hand on
the dial and to exhibit and uDforgiv-
ing spirit-according to the same Dem
cratic authorities. But at the risk of
being denounced, we must be permit
ted to remark that while such papers
as the Cortnthian continue to talk as
they do, 1t is very easy to be skeptical
concerning the thoroughness Of the
change of heart alluded to. The Cor
inthjan obviously would not presume
to give utterance to such villianous
sentiments as those we have sampled
if it did not know that they would find
favor in the minds of its readers. And

MADISON, July 10.-A special
from Beloit says l25 smps took poss-
ession of a freight train this morning.
The train men succeeded in putting
the train on a side track and while
the tramps were off getting breakfast
backed out of the switch and went
through the city at high rate of
speed. The tramps are on their way
to Minnesota and much trouble is an
tici pated from them.
Later-The tramp troubles at Beloit
is assuming formidable proportions,
and fears are entertained that much
trouble will ensue from this collection
of vagabonds. Governor Smith has
been appealed to by the railroad COM
pany tor help. Trains have run
through Beloit to day without stopping
Superintendent Swineford telegraphs
the Governor tonight that one Of their
trains was delayed at Beloit last night
eight hours by tramps; that over 250

quests the mayor to take such prompt

as may be necessary and to report the
situation to him by wire. It is be-
lieved here that most if not all the
trouble is across the line in Illinois.
Should any hostile demonstrations be
made by these vagabonds. and it is
deemed necessary, the militia of the
State will be promptly used to punish
them as they richly deserve.

Raid OH Farm Machinery

The tramps in Ohio and Indiana are
making raids on the farm machinery.
1t reaper or mower is left in the field,
it is destroyed in many instances. 10
such an extent is this matter carried,
that many farmers have housed their
machinery, and are doing their har
vest work as best they can. This is a
serious matter, and demands prompt at
tention from the official authorities in
those States, The Albany Evening
journal speaks on this subject, thus:
So soon as knowledge Of this con-
dition of things reached the Governors
of those States they should have lost no
time in calling upon the Sher ifs of the
several counties wherein threats lad
been made and overt acts committed to
exercise unusal diligence in fcrretiug
out and bringing the offenders to JUS
tice. The viper might and should
have been crushed at once, and the
dignity of law and order maintained.
The persons engaged in this raid are
clearl y the worst grade Of tramps-
class bent on mischief and with a
fixed determination to shirk all honest
work. Right in the very towns where
the most reapers have been destroyed
by them they refuse polnt-blank to en-.
ter the harvest field tor one dollar aud
halt a day, board and lodging iaclud
ed.
To reason with such fellows is
waste of time If they know any thing
at all they must know that the great
farming interest of the West never
could have been built up without these
modern agricultural implements. They
know that every reaper and thresher
has cheapened the bread for the hung
ry populations of the great cities.
They know that thousand aud thous-
ands of workingmen witnout a dollar
in the world to start with have made
themselves independent through the
of machinery, and they know that the
same road is still open to others who
will enter it They know that mach
inery has vastly increased rather than
diminished the demand for labor. a
fact familiar to them Will illustrate the
whole case. y score of years ago our
shoes and boots were hand made.
Now the work is largely done by ma
chinery. The number Of men EN-
ployed in the business has vastly in
creased, and through the superior fac
ities for manufacturing We have be-
come a successful competitor for a
share of the trade of the world.
There is no palliation whatever for
this outrageous attack upon the farmers
in Ohio and Indiana. 1t is a blow that
strikes the poor man, the mechanic and
the laborer harder than it does the
man of means, for the latter can better
afford to pay higher for food. 1t is a
blow, which If repeated and generally
extended throughout the West, would
recol npon every Eastern purchaser of
food. And the officials of Ohio and
Indiana owe a solemn duty to the pub
lie to bring every offender to justice
and protect the farmers in their es-
sential rights.

TEACHING BIRDS TO SING.-In
Fulda, Germany, regular institutions
are established to teach bull-6nches to
sing. The young birds are placed into
classes of six to ten each, and kept in
the dark. AS they are fed little
hand organ is played. Finally the
birds commence to associate the music
with the feeding. and when hungry,
they commence to sing a few notes of
the tune they hear daily. Those who
do this are at once placed in a more
cheerful room, when light is admitted.
This encourages and makes them more
lively. Then they like to sing and
are taught more. The most difficult
part is the starting of the birds, some
Of which have to be kept long time
in the dark and on starvation rations,
before their obstinacy is overcome.

The NEXT STATE .-Washin ston
Territory is deslrous OF being admitted
into the sisterhood of States. So far
as area and resources ere concerned, it
possesses the requisite for the recogni-
tion of its request. The only thing
lacking is population. There has
been large immigration into the Ter
rltory during the past two or three
years. 1t still fails short Of the 124,-
900, the number upon which repre-.
sentation in the lower House of Con-
gress is based. The people are, how.
ever, preparing for the future so as to
be ready with a constitution when the
formal application for admission is
made. The Territory already far
outstrips Nevada in population, and
two or three years at the most will
fnd it with a population considerably
more than 100000. 1t possesses all
the elements tor great commonwealth
and in the course Of a few years it
will become one of the most prosper

The CHIEF OF THE BANNOCKS.-
B uffalo Horn, the leader Of the Ban
nocks, acted as 2 scout under General
Howard from Camas Prairie to Henry
Lake, when he left on account of the.
threatening cold, returning to Fort
Hall. Buffalo Horn is not the heredi.
tary Chief of the Bannock Indians, but
is merely leader among the wild war
riors, and is looked up to by them as
their Captain. These young bucks
have supreme contempt for the real
Chief, whom they speak of sneeringly
as an cid woman. Buffalo Horn is a
small, gracefully built Indian, with
beautiful eyes, not unlike cross be-
tween an eagles and an ante.ope's.

Rhodope Mountains. He enumerated
the horrors perpetrated by Bulgarians
and Cossacks, and sometimes by regular
Russian soldiers whose design seems
to be the determination or dispersion
of Mussulmans and Christians favora-
BILE to them. In the Domodea dis
trict fifty. three villages have been
plundered and burned by Russian and
Bulgarian troops within the last two
mouths. Twenty y-three villages have
been equally laid waste and burned in
the district of Haskieves and in tha
Phillippopolis district twelve villages
have been burned. In numerous vii
lagos there has been wanton destruct-
ion attended by deeds of unheard of
barbarity. Cases of men and women
deliberately burnt alive have been fire.
quent; violation of the young has also
been very frequent. Nothing more
horrible than the particulars of this
report can be imagined. Its vcracity
rests upon the official authority Of one
Of the most respected of her majesty's
servants and of men employed by him
upon his conviction Of their perfect
trustworthiness Fawcett intends to
lay his report before the English,
Austrian and French am bassadors with
view to sending out com mission of
inquiry to the spot to endeavor to put
an end to these, excuses which dis
grace humanity.
VERY WARM WEATHER In ENG
LAND.-The heat during the last three
days has been excessive Vest erday
the thermOmeteo in the sun rose to
i4O0 in London. 1t is stated that,
owing to the tropical heat, the mem
bers Of the congress at Berlin are be.
ginning to show signs Of fatigue.
The excessive heat yesterday, which
was about l2O in the sun at W;gan
had singular effect on the railway
metals between Wigan and Manchester
on the London and Northwestern line,
near Platt Bridge Station. The up
fine to Manchester was found yester-
day afternoon bulging for some eight
lengths In the shape of an S at one
point, the metal and sleepers having
been bodily moved nearly two feet.
The rails appear to have been set too
tightly, and on the heat expanding
them, they have been twisted out of
their original course. Fortunately DC
accident occurred, the mshap being
discovered as passenger train, which
stops at the station, approached. Steps
were Immediately taken to reset the
rails, but there was some interr upton
to traffic in consequence ofthe trains
having to worked on one line. At
first it was thought that the shifting of
the line was due to iandslap, but it
was afterwards discovered that this was
not the case, and that it was entirely
due to the extraordinary heat.-Wan-

Adjutant Gen. Ed. E. Bryant has
handed his report upon the Indian
scare to the Governor. He describes
with a racy detail his visit, in company
with Col. Forsyth, to the Chippewa
camp eight miles from Grantsbuig,
Burnett county. The particulars of
that visit have been substantially given.
Gen Bryant concludes his report in
these words:
While the Indians undoubtedly
mediate no mischief, certainly no
hostility to the whites, they are nui-
sance to the settlers; they stroll about
beg, poster timid women, pick cram
berries before ripe, shoot off the deer,
and by their presence retard the set
tlement Of those portions of the state
which they frequent. They ought to
be kept on their reservations AS
long as they are allowed to roam about
in bands so long will they cling to the
lazy habits Of Indian life. Penned up
on their reservation, they would be
compelled to resort more to agriculture
and it certainly would be relief to
the settlers ia our northern woods, if
these disagreeab'e bands were kept out
of their neighborhoods.
Col. Forsyth informed me that in
his report he would urge the necessity
Of strlcter dealing with these bands,
to keep them on their reservation,
and to drive them by all polite meas
ures into industrial pursuits. The
general government through its Indian
agencies and system, can do this, and |
would recommend that the attention
of the Indian bureau be called to the
evil and urged to apply remedy.
