On the ist OF May. 1876 the ownership and controi
Of THE WORLD passed into the handso OF the UNDER
signed, under wh1Se absolute and untrammelIed
direction He WORLD has ever since remained and
During the whole Of this time THE woRnp has
l9bored patiently and perseveringiy for the accom-
pishment of two great objects in politics of para
mount interest 70 the Southern people
/. The restoration Of Local selfG0vernment at the
South.
IL a Real Reform Of the Civil Service. in such
wise 70 destroy the political machines under the
operation Of which IL has come 70 pass that the us
pie are taxed 70 support political parties whereas
political parties have no other reason Of being exe
% lessen the burdens OF government
The fiFst of these objects has been trinmphantly
accomplished. All intelligent Northern men now
admit that all parts OF the country were a. deeply
interested the south in seeing il Won enrrilpt
and anti Democratic government in the South was
permanent peril 10 the ascendancy Of true American
principles in the Federal Government and therefore,
TO the peace and honor Of the whole people
The second political object for which TIE WORLD
contends still remains % be fully achieved. The
actual Administration began It's careerw with excellent
promises in this direction of which Il Is sufficient 10
ed. THE WORI4B for is part win resolutely sup
port any honest cortto redeem these promises fully
BY whomsoever made and viii as resolutely de-
nounce every obstacle thrown in the way Of redeem
ing them, from whatever quarter.
II seems to the undersigned eminently proper that
he should ask the cooperation Of the best men Of the
South with THE WORLD in It's efforts 70 carry out
the policy here outlined. He believes THE WORLD
% be paper which Southern citizens and Demo
Gratis can recommend % Southern readers as an ili-
huence worthy and important 20 be brought to bear
with constantly increasing power upon the conduct
OF national affairs in the interest OF truth OF
justice and Of harmony among our people Of all
sections
II is my desire 70 keep THE WORLD in a living
relation with the best thought of the SOUTH 70 the
end that the best ideas, wishes and feeling OF the
Southern people may be clearly and fairly made
known 70 the North, the East and tho West. Alike
in private and in public Affairs the misundersfand
ing of men by another lies at the root OF so much
evil that the word itself has come TO be synonym
with quarre,ing and strife Il was a wise saying OF
Lord Egin, az The time Of one Of sharpest dis,
putes with Great Britain, that two intelligent gentle
men alone raft in the Atlantic with plenary
powers could adjust the whole matter IN an hour
THE WORLD simply asks its friends at the South
> aid Il in bringing about complete meeting Of
n, 'uds all public questions between the infei.
s-e,, citizens OF all parts of the Union.
