King Victor Emanuel of Italy, whose death
took place at Rome, Wednesday, was born
March nth, 1890, the son of Charles Albert,
King Of Sardinia. In 1919, following the de-
feat of his army at Novara, by the Aus.
trians, Charles Albert abdicated his throne
in favor of his son, and Victor Emanuel be-
came king. Calling to his aid the master
mind of Count Cavour, he greatly elevated
Sardinia among the European States. lie
confiscated and sccu larized the property of
the Catholic Church, and was excommuni-
Gated therefor by the Pope. In 1855, with
an army of Il 900 men, he Joincd the Anglo
French alliance against Russia, and distin-
guished himself as general and fighting
man. In 1859, aided by Louis Napoleon, he
took the field against Austria for Italian in
dependence, which was secured by the result
of the war, and in 1861 he took the title of
King Of Italy, at Naples. lie put down Gar

troops having evacuated that city, he occu-

Pope retired to the Castle Of St. Angelo.
His temporal sovereignty ended, Rome be
came the capital Of United Italy, and the
kingdom, in spite of bulls and manifestoes
from the Vatican, became firmly consoli-

The superiority Of free labor at the South,
an spite of all discouragements. is clearly
demonstrated. The New York Heraid pub
fishes statistics showing that for the eight
years-lSG9-70 to l57G-17 inclusive-3I.-
SO 2l2 bales Of cotton were produced by
free labor, while for the eight years under
the slave system to the beginning of the war
-lS53-54 to lst0-Gl inclusiye-the pro-
duction was %, AZ ,S4l. The excess under
free labor is shown to be 2,772,37l bales

yet had anything like fair chance to do it,

crop fr the last eight years, more than two
thirds Of it having been exported. il over two
thousand millions of dollars in gold And
the fact ia worthy Of note that the crop is
now freer from debt Than ever before, and
with it has brcn Iai-ed a much larger
supply Of fad than was produced under
slavery. TIE South ought to be content,
take courage and Increase in wealth under
the advantagas 1t erjoYs. And if, instead
Of trying to keep down aud degrade the free
negro labor, ard seeking to uphold the OPP
pressive Bourbon policy in politics, the South
would DIRECT it, 5e-t mind ard energies to the
enforcement of our free civilization in bust
ness and political affair. educating the
laboring classes, recognizing the dignity Of
labor, and carrying out with something of
Northern spirit enterprises for the develop
ment of that favored section of our country,
- its rapid advancement in wholesome thrift
would be assured. As it IS, and accepting
free labor as a necessity, it is seen that the
South. in spite Of hard times with US and
almost everywhere else, is doing better than
ever before and instead of abusing, it
ought to thank the Republican party for the
benefcent change.

Ultra Southern Sentiment.

The Southern SAFES, the grea: Bourbon
organ Of Mississippi, in laying out the pro
gramme for a triumphant Southern DemOc
racy, says ANONYMOUSLY
WHEN we have thus obtained the upper
hand we propose to undo what has beer
done by the Radicals since 1861, as far a,
lies in our power. We propose to tear the
negro amendments out of the Constitution
We propose to restore the Planter Republic
of our fathers in all its original purity and
simplicity"
The same paper speaks of 1.-The hell-born
heresy OF African suffrage" and says;
"WheL the repeal of the revolutionary
amendments is sprung upon the country it
will catch up and carry the popular senti-
ment with it from seal board to sea- board.
The Okolona Miss Tribune talks in the
same vein, thus:
ave never say there il peace, when We
know that there is no peace, that there never
can be peace between the North and the
South. until our ancient enemies are hurled
from power and We have planted our feet on
their necks. Our politicians may rise in
the halls of State and represent that We are
conciliated all over and all through that we
long to hug the Yankees to our bOsoms !;
that the past is forgiven, and that We
worship the memory of Lincoln and his hire
lings as feryently as the priests OF lspahan
are said to worship the morning sun but
our politicians simply ialsiiy the facts. The
South is conquered but not suhdued. She
thinks and feels precisely As she thought and
felt before the war. She accepts none Of
the New England ideas and iSms that her
foes have tried to force upon her. She spits
upon their heresies. She tramples them I'M
der her very feet. She will tear them out of
her laws and scatter them 10 the four winds
of heaven as soon as she has the upper
hand"
Quite likely these articles were written by
pair Of tire-eaters, who did no fighting in
the last war and would belong to the home
guard in any new =" unpleasantneSs. But
it would be interesting to know to what ex
tent they represent and mould public opin-
ion in their section.

OF whom were from Michigan. The NUN
Der OF young women IN the various depart

of the whole number. and this proportion
scarcely changes from year to year
President Angel says cit is very crafty
ing to see how readily the more gifted young
women who have graduated here, especial
ly those vino have taken the classical course,
have secured conspicuous positions as
teachers. Since we are pledged to the CO.
education of the sexes, it il with special
interest that We see one after another of

women to courses of study and to degrees.
and that We see women. there as here,

gan takes generous care Of her State nj

in addition to the proceeds of the regular
State tax for its benefit, amounting to

the University has been compelled, by pecu
mary necessity. to reduce temp orariy the
number OF its teachers. On the whole there
