Large numbers of white laboring
men are moving South, where they
are offered homes on reasonable
terms. These honest toilers will
find warm hearted friends in the
Southern States, if they come here
to make an honest living at any
honorable occupation; but if they
are coming here To control and
shape the political affairs of the
South, they will find themselves liv-
ing in the wrong country. The
South has had its share of dead
beats, and now asks for honest men
to make their homes in her goodly
land. There are millions of acres
of land in the West that ought to
be in cultivation, but the system of
land holding is such as to drive the
poor out of the West. The South
has many uncultiyated fields now
inviting labor, which is hurrying
there to take advantage of the open
ing. The South is now at peace,
prosperous and happy, and we shall
be surprised if she does not soon
regain her old-time glory. Soldiers
of the North will find true friends
in the South, if they cannot lind
employment in the Norht.

Hard times remain with the peo-
pie, while the few money-lords call
for resumption, and continue to de
mand unreasonable interest on their
money. The financial policy of the
Government does not meet the
wants of the people, and should at
once undergo radical change. The
people must have money enough to
do the business of the country, or
great suffering must follow the pros
tration of business. Thousands of
honest, hard working people of this
country are now living ON less than
half rations, and how they will be
able to pass through the winter is a
question almost too serious to be
asked. If the Government is in any
way at fault in this matter, it should
at once undo what 1T has done
wrong, and do speedily what may be
demanded to put all thugs right,
and thus call harmony out of confu-
sion. The greenback dollar was
good enough to pay the soldiers
with-so thought the money-lords
during the war-and it is good
enough to pay these men of ease
with. Give us more money! EX.

The Passions that Induce Disease.

The passions which act most Sc
verely on physical life are anger,
Gear, hatred and grief The other
passions are comparatively innocu
Gus. What is called the passion of
love is not injudicious until it
lapses into grief and anxiety; on
the contrary, it sustains the phys
it al power. What is called ambi
tion is of itself blame; for ambition,
when it exists purely, is nobility,
lifting its owner entirely from him
self into the exalted service of man
kind. 1t Injuries when, stimulating
a man to strenuous effort after some
great object, it leads him to the per-
formance of some excessive mental
or physical labor, and to the conse-
quences that follow such effort. The
passion called avarice, according to
general experience, tends to call to
the preservation of body more than
to its deterioration. The avari-
cious man, who seems to the luXu
rious world to be debarring himself
of all the pleasures of the world,
and to be exposing himself to the
fangs of poverty, generally placing
himself N the precise conditions
favorable TO a long and healthy ex
istence. BY his economy he is saw
ing himself from all the worry incl
dent to penury, by his caution he is
screening himself from all the risks
incident to speculation, or the at
tempt to amass wealth by hazard
Gus means; by his regularity of
hours and perfect appropriation of
the sunlight, in preference to artifi-
cial illumination, he rests and works
in periods that precisely accord with
the periodicity of nature; by his
abstemiousness of living, he takes
just enough to live, which is precise
ly the right thing to do, according
to the natural law. Thus, in almost
every particular, he goes on his
way, freer than any other men from
the external causes of all the in
duced diseases, and better protected
than most men from the worst con-
sequences of those diseases which
spring from causes that are uncon-
trollable.

The True Gentleman.

''He is above low act. He can
not stoop to commit a fraud. He
Invades no secret IN the keeping OF
another. He takes selfish advan-
tage of no mans mistakes. He is
ashamed of innuendos. He uses no
ignoble weapons in controversy.
He never stabs in the dark. He ie
not one thing to a mans face and
another to his back. If by acci-
dent he comes into possession of
his neighbors counsel, he passes
them into instant oblivion. He
bears sealed packages without tam
pering with the wax. Papers not
meant for his eye, whether they
flutter in at his window, or lie open
before him in unregarded exposure,
are secret to him. He profanes no
privacy of another however the sen
try sleeps. Bolts and bars, locks
and keys, bonds and securities, no
tices to tresspassers are not for him.
He may be trusted out of sight
near the thinnest position-any-
where. He buys no office, he sells
none, intrigues for none. He would
rather fail of his rights than win
them through dishonor. He will
eat honest bread. He tramples on
no sensitive feelings. He insults no
man. If he has a rebuke for an
other be is straightforward, open,
manly. He cannot descend to sour
rility. Billingsgate does not lie on
his track. OF woman, and to her,
he speaks with decency and respect.
In short whatever he judges honor
able he practices toward every one.
He is not always dressed in broad
cloth. Some people, says distin
guished bishop, think a gentleman
means a man of independent for
tune-a man who fares sumptuous-
ly every day; a man who need not
labor for his daily bread. None of
these makes a gentleman-not one
of them-nor all of them together.

Politicians.

1t is very common to curse the
politicians, and sometimes they need
cursing. We concur with the
Graphic in the opinion that this
particular calling does not corrupt
a man more than another; like peo-
pie, like politician. a proportion
ate average of ministers fall yearly.
1t should not be so, but it is so. 1t
proves that depravity is sown broa1-
cast in human nature. The man
who adulterates milk, gives short
weight, makes and sells coats or
trousers whose buttons fly off the
first day of wearing, as if by elec
trical repulsion; the man who puts
the best fruit on top of the basket,
who never has any strong butter,
who consciously sells rotten vege-
tables-this man when chosen as
the representative of the people,
from constable up to President, will
cheat at politics. The leayen runs
right up through the mass. When
we ask to be delivered from the pol
itician we might, with equal propri-
ETY., ask to be delivered from our
selves. The direction OF public af-
fairs is a business, and somebody
must do it. 1t is, besides, trade,
and somebody must learn it. A
trade giving no opportunity for
cheating is yet to be classed with
the north pole. 1t has not been
reached. When we make clean our
platters, others may be encouraged
to clean theirs. Sometimes we
haven't the least idea that we live
in glass houses ourselves. We fling
stones in every direction and when
our own frames come smashing
down about us we can neither see
nor hear them. 1t is sign of GER
tain death to tresspassers and sins
when one believes himself the only
righteous man in .Sodom. Like a
man drunk through, he thinks ev
cry one is drunk save himself. The
nation will 60 where the people, not
the politicians, carry it. The poll
ticians are but samples of the peo-
ple-neither better nor worse.

Whatever may be the temporary
result OF the conflict in the East,
the end will be the expulsion of the
Turk from Europe and the establish
ing of Russian domination on the
Dardanelies. A new map of Europe
andWestern Asia is being made, and
the statesmen of the European ma
tions are much perpleXed over the
matter. The Gar at Constantine
pie means the control of West
ern Asia and Eastern Europe, aud
the awakening of the Mediterranean
from its slumber of ages, to become
the center-sf commerce OF the world
This is reason for alarm at the
Court Of St. James and cause fer
unrest at Vienna. Can England
hold dominion over the East Indies,
with the great giant standing with
one foot at Constantinople and
ready to put the other down in
Rome? These are questions grow
ing out of the present war between
Russia and Turkey, not understood
by the politicians. II the entire
plans of all these wise men do not
fail, other wise men of this and
other ages have not read history to
any great advantage. 1t is firmly
believed b. many that Russia will
yet be the most powerful nation in
the Old World; that she will have a
fearful combat at some time In the
near future with the neighboring
nations, which will convince them
of her power to rule; that meantime
a new Jewish Commonwealth will
spring up in the old Abrahamic
country, about which great strife
will arise between Russia and Eng
land, and that out of which conflict
the Jews will arise as the leading
nation in Western Asia and North
ern Africa and Europe.

The Fate which confonts the Bogus
Louisiana Senator.

A. c. Buell., writing from Wash
ington City to New Orleans Demo-
crat, says:
There can be 40 doubt that Mr..
Kellogg will be indicted for the dou-
BILE crime of embezzling funds be-
longing To the State and then using
the same TO bribe State officials
with. The question will then turn
upon his extraditiop from the Dis.
trict of Columbia TO tho Jurisdiction
of the local courts Of the State
under whose laws he is an accused
criminal There need he no appre.
henslon that the mills of justice will
be made to grind lightly ia this case
as in another case of recent notori-
ETY. somewhat similar.
There will be no ground upon
which Mr.. Kellogg can condone his
ofTense; there is nothing which he
can possibly do TO divert from his
track. the pursuit which every voice
of public sentiment in the State he
pretends 10 represent will fasten
upon him TO the last hour OF his
torn, unless they get him sooner,
Between Kellogg and the people OF
the state whose representation In
the Senate he detiles there can be
no peace-not even "a truce or an
armistice. Partisan exigency, press
ing upon flexible courts ia the
District, may create for him a sane
tuary here. But, If so, here he
must stay incarcoratcd upon this lit
tie ten miles by seven of territory
for six years. acquisitions upon
Governors of Virginia. Maryland,
New York from the Governor OF
Louisiana, demanding the body OF
William Pitt Kellogg, will be hon
cred instantly, and the resources OF
the outraged State will be exhaust
ed in a system of espionage 20 catch
the distinguished criminal upon
some square foot of soil not'like tho
District of Columbia, subject TO the
Jurisdiction of radical party exigen
cy. This is the outlook for Kellogg.
To be Senator from Louisiana he
must immure himself within the
narrow boundaries OF the District OF
Columbia. 1t is no more than fair
that he should have this notice, and
it is proper that the country should
be apprised Of the conditions and
limitations under which he must sit
as Senator. 1t is impossible that
such a man, under such circum.
stances, should hold his seat through
term of six years. Such might
have been possible when the radical
majority in Congress was two thirds
and when il was the common Gus
tom of the Executive 20 ride down
State Governments with squadrons
of dragons. But now, when law
has begun to prevail and civil au-
thority 10 assert its supremacy, IL Is
impossible that the privileges OF the
Senate shall screen a criminal from
trial for six long years or shelter an
outlaw from the fury Of outraged
mankind.

Internal improvements.


In Frank Leshe's Illustrated
Newspaper" dated June 23rd, We
find an able and well written edito
rial on "InterRal Improvements II
the South" The writer, we are
pleased to observe, takes a very en-
couraging and hopeful view o.
Southern affairs. The prosperity
of the North he justly attributes tc
that magnificent system of internal
improvements whic, have brought
the most distant parts of the coun,
try into easy and rapid communica
tion with the great commercial cen.
ters. If the South had adopted Q
similar policy, the Same, or still
more gratifying, results must have
followed. She is just beginning to
find out the almost fatal mistake
which she made; and her attention
is now directed, as it never was be.
fore, to the necessity of establishing
new lines of commercial traffic.
Atlanta and Chattanooga are strik-
ing examples of what may be ac-
complished by an enlightened and
liberal improvements. The former,
'from a heap of ruins" has grown
into a large and prosperous city of
nearly fifty thousand inhabitants.
The latter is the converging point
of five railroads; and when the Gin
cinnati Southern is completed, an
other and highly important line of
communication will be established.
With such advantages as these,
Chattanooga cannot fail to advance
most rapidly in wealth and popula
tion, until she really becomes what
she claims to be, the ''Pittsburg OF
the South"
But we cannot agree with the
writer that private enterprise will be
more effective in establishing a sys-
tenn of internal Improvements than
the powerful aid of the general gov
ernment. 1t is an incontrovertible
fact that without such aid the peo
pie of the North could never have
succeeded in those vast and expen-
sive enterprises which are the main
sources of their unexampled pros
perity. Is it just or generous, when
the South, in her poverty and hu-
initiation, implores the assistance
of the Government in developing
her resources, and thus indirectly
promoting the prosperity of the
whole country, not to extend a help
ing hand? Let the Southern Pa
cific Railroad receive a subsidy, and
the channel of the Mississippi be
kept open at all seasons of the
year, and the former prosperity oI
the South will be more than re
stored; and in this prosperity of the
South, let it never be forgotten, the
North will largely participate
