TEE SOLID SOUTH.

A few Northern papers of the ultra
Radical class are greatly distressed on
account of the solid South. No COM
plants would come from that source
if the South were solidly Republican.
All would be lovely then, and the
Union safe. But the trouble is that
the eolored people in many States have /
become disgusted with the false pre-
lenses and often broken promises of
the Republican party. With the in
! crease of intelligence among them,
they have learned that it is to their
interest to cooperate with the Demo
cratic party. Take General Chalmers
district in Mississippi for instance,
where tho white population is
exceedingly sparse; the colored
people have everything their own
way, and yet have twice elected
General Chalmers to congress. 1t has
never been charged that any violence
was used or any outside pressure
brought to bear. So it has been in
various parts of the South that the
colored people have frequently elected
Democrats to congress and other
ohics. If this is free country, if
the franchise privilege means any
thing, the people Of the South have as
much right to be Democrats as the
people of New England or Pensyl-
vania have to be Republicans. A
party which has no better claims upon
the country than this one, which de-
liberately and unitedly stole the
Presidency, may long expect to see a
solid South. When the Southern
. States feel that they are treated and
regarded as equals in the Union then
they will divide upon ordinary ques-
tions. The Radicals seem to think
that we are in the Union like so much
conquered territory, but not of the
Union The verdict Of impartial man
kind will be that the conservatism
and prudence Of Southern statesmen
R such as Hampton, Gordon, Lamar
Young and others Of that sector
averted what might have been a blood!
war less than two years ago. Section
alism has died out and will be agi
tated no more by any true patriot
There is no array of solt
South as against solid North, o
as is falsely charged against tn
government, but it is solid against cor
ruption and violations of the constitu
ton repeated so often by Republica
administration since the war. 1t
solid for good government, for homes
men in Office, and economy in the ad
ministration of public affairs. Their
is good reason as yet for solid Soutl
and will be until the Democratic part
obtains control of the government an
inaugurates a new order of thing
The Republican party is responsib
for the sectionalism of the last tc
years, and its leaders who have sougI
to array a solid North against u
should be the last men to complaf
that the Southern States vote vii
the Democrats of the North. Aft
next spring both houses of congre
will be Democratic, and unless son
great blunder is committed, Dem
cratic President will be inaugural,
next time. After that the Republics
party will be powerless for evil, al
the country will for the first tin
since 1860 enter upon an era of pre-
perity.

Babel, or Baalbel, was the lofty tenn
pie built at Babylon, by Belvs, both as
an observatory and a temple Of the sun.
1t remains still in existence, under the
name of Birs Nimrod, and has been
amply described by Rich and Porter.
1t was formed OF eight square towers,
n on the other, ego feet high, and the
same at each side of its base. Lately
its height was 100 feet, reeds, between
every three or four layers of brick,
were perfectly fresh, while the brick
seems to be calcined by fire. Babylon

streets each way, 10 miles long, and
100 feet broad, crossing each other at
right angles, besides 4 streets, 200 feet
wide, facing the walls. in detached
houses, with gardens and pleasure
grounds. The wells were 81 feet thick
and $40 high. so says Herodotus and
other ancients, but the whole must be
exaggerated, for Is miles each way
would be 225 square miles; and Lon
don, vast as it is, does not cover 80. 1t
must have been equal to Middlesex and

EASTERN LABoRERs.

The Congressional Labor committee
has received many suggestions from
workingmen, most Of them being of an
impracticable nature. 1t seems that
the most communistic of the discon-
tents gathered before the committee
and emitted such streams of nonsense
that the scene was oftentimes sugges-
tive OF a burlesque. Still, the Commit
tee learned something, no doubt, even
il it was only the fact those commun-
lists wish the government to simply ar
rogate to itself the task of supporting
themselves and families.
Something more than n detailed re-
port of their routine work is expected
from the Committee. rs their minds are
directed into one channel of thought.
While in Wyoming the causos for open
discomfort do not exist, the friends of
the white laborer take a lively interest
in his welfare, and wish him prosper
ity. But withal, the conviction arises
uppermost that the condition of the
Eastern workingmen will be improved
when the times experience a change
for h better, and not until then.

Mr.. REARNEY,S SPEECH.

In his opening speech in Boston Mon
day night, Dennis Kearney said but
little to indicate his style of handling
the labor question in the East. His re-
marks were confined to- criticising the
Associated Press for sending erroneous
reports to the San Francisco Chronicle
of himself and his movements. In this
he was in error, as that paper gets a
special report. However, he quoted
from those dispatches and proved them
wrong. The other part of his speech
was simply a sweeping, scathing denun-
citation of all classes of capitalists. As
the Chinaman doesn't interfere with
Eastern labor, Mr.. Kearney was de-
priyed of displaying his forte. So all
in all he was engaged.merely in tearing
down Unless he supplements that
process by building up, the public must
vote him a chronic, useless grumbler.
and consign him to fo-rgottenness. II
is too soon, however, tn Judge the man
fairly; give him Opportunity to offer
something. Then his influence will
manifest itself. But if he suggests
nothing, the intelligence of Eastern
uorkingmen viii soon confess Mr..
Kearney . bore.

Of showing where his money-or rather
where the city's money-had gone, nm @from
this it appeared that the kind friends who
had assisted in his European trip received
some sixty thousand dollars for their SER
vices. More recently Tweed accepted the
invitation of a committee of the Board Of
Aldermen to pass an hour or two with them
in friendly political chat on "twenty-six
several occasions" running over a period
OF about two months, and on each visit the
invited guest was honored with the escort
of two deputy sheriffs. The people are
now called upon to pay "little bill" Of
SSlS so for the expenses of Tweeds body
guard and carriage hire, being at the rate
OF S25 day for the deputies and Sc SO
day for the carriage. Considering that the
escort was never required for more than
three or four hours day, and frequently
for not over half an hour, and that the car.
riage conveyed the party from Ludlow
Street Jail to the City Hall and back,
short mile each way, both the deputy
sherlffs and the hack owner will be very
well paid for their services when they get
the money!
