BRUCE, the colored Senator from
Mississippi, will soon return from
Europe, where he has been travelling
with his bride since his marriage in
June. There is some agitation in
social circles in Westinghouse to the
status that will be given Mrs. Bruce
in the society Of the capitol, Etiquet
there requires the wives of Cabinet
officers and Congressman to make
the first call upon the wife of a Sen.
ator. Mrs. Bruce was a teacher in
Cleveland o., and it is said is of fine
personal appearance, and besides
her husband is wealthy enough tc
allow her any personal adornments
that she may wish. It is presumed
that she will not be embarrassed by
her reception, Judging from the way
Mrs. Pinchback was lionized six
years ago.

AS long as the South was under
federal bayonet rule and "solid" with
carpet baggers and Radical robbers
and thieves, there was no cry from
the ninety thousand Office holders
about a "solid South" At the time
of the Forty-frst Congress there was
a very 'solid South" and it found
great favor in Republican minds.
1t was a "solid South composed of
carpet-baggers. Oftwenty-two Sen
ators it sent twenty Republicans aud
two Democratic members to the Uni
ted States Senate. Out of sixty
three Representatives it sent fifty
two Republicans and eleven Demo.
Gratis. That was sufficiently a "solid
South for all practical purposes, a
"solid South" Of Republicans and
carpet-baggers. But unfortunately
the large majority of these were
thieves and scoundrels, and the result
of their actions vas their reputation
by the Southern people and the for.
nation of a public sentiment which
swept them all out of office and cleo
ted honest Democrats, chosen not so
much for their party as for the sake
of rebuking the dishonesty that had
plundered the South, right and left,
and from being solidly Republican
the South became solidly Democrat
ic. 1t is now discovered by these
very honest (?) Republicans that it
is a very great crime for the South
to be "solidT" Who, with a spark
of humanity in their soul, would now
complain of the South being "solid''
against their robbers?

A Washington correspondent Of
the Springfield Mass. Republican
tells how the managers of the 1880
campaign will commence the Grant
programme: EXACTLY at the prop.
er moment he will probably arrive
at San Francisco. He will duly re
ceive a splendid ovation, and he will
then proceed to receive ovations all
along the route across the continent,
winding up with Philadelphia's ca.
ger ovation at the last. On the heels
of this last triumphant reception will
follow the Republican nominating
convention" And that is the way
the "Imperial Republic is to be ap,
preached and inaugurated.

In n letter to the editor of the

that he had gone back on his Green

The Republicans had no objection
to the "solid South in the forty first

twenty-five Southern Senators and
the Democrats only two; and they
had ffty-two out of the sixty-three

Perhaps if they had sent decent men

The Republicans keep talking
about their majorities. Gentlemen,
they have not a majority in scarcely
a single State. They have not in
Maine, nor in New Hampshire, nor in
Connecticut, nor in New York, nor
in Pennsylvania, nor in Illinois,
They have only pluralities, and in
some places ever their pluralities
are dreadful thin.

Ex-Congressman Small, a negro
Republican in South Carolina who
signs his name with an X, was de-
feated for reelection, but he manag-
ed to get in Jail for stealing hides,
which probably is just as well. Hith-
erto Small has been a great pet of
the Radicals. Won't they consider
the incarceration of Small for the

We do not %apprehend the revival
of sectional animosity at the North.
The feeling has worn itself out. The
Northern people see that affairs at
the South + moving slowly and
peaceably TO the desired end, when
sectional words and questions OF
race will have lost all their old signi-
ficance in our politics. The South
is not solid against negro sffrage,
simply in the sense of suffrage and
all it implies, but is solid against
negro suffrage controlled by extrane-
Gus influences which the Southerners
have every reason TO know are re-
pugnant to honest and decent gov
ernment.-Statesman.

Bro. Morris of the Miami Helmet,
is not pleased because we think it
creditable that the South voted solid
Democratic, and says the whole cleo
tion al a ''great outrage and
shame" The editor of the Helmet,
like a majority of his party, becomes
fearfully indignant at anything like
fraud or ballot-box stuffing in the
South, when against the Radical par
ty. 1t would have been all right if
it had been done in the interest Of
the Radicals and elected such scoun-
drels as ANDERSON and WELLS. No
howl about a "solid South" would
have went up from Republican apos-
ties like the editor of the Helmet, in
such an event. Oh, no. If ballot
box stuffing has been done in South
Carolina and other Southern States,
as you allege, Bro. Morris, we have
no apology to offer for it or for those
engaged in it, but believe they
SHOULD be severely dealt with. But

Wonderful are the beauties OF
Pennsylvania's Legislative apportion-

Der of the house, while it takes 5000

out of the penitentiary, granted by

thority that he has not exercised the

ministration so far, and the number
for the same length of time of Hayes
administration, they are about in the

General Butler says that the in
timidation of the white voters in
Massachusetts, during the recent
election was as fragrant as ever the
intimidation of the negro votes in the
South was. He asserts that the in
reference with the right of the poor
laborer to vote as he saw fit, though
more cunningly managed in Massa-
chusetts than in the South, was bas-
ed on the same theory of politics.
Certainly General Butler has no
greater reason to misrepresent the
people of his own State than he form
erly had to misrepresent the people
of South Carolina or louisiana
Are we to suppose that he is mista-
ken now and was mistaken then, OF
did he speak the truth then and has
he spoken it now? Which horn OF
the dilemma will the Republicans
take?

A correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Enquirer, (Rep, writing from
the South says: During all the
years that the federal troops kept
guard over every poll in Louisiana
and South Carolina the elections in
those States were the occasion OF
such fraud, intimidation, violence
and bloodshed as to fill the whole
land with angry clamor and to keep
the people of both North and South
in continuous excitement. For years
together Louisiana was in a condi.
ton of semi-revolution, South Caro-
lima and Mississippi we're not much
better, and the national government
executive and legislative was kept
busily employed in efforts to recon.
cile the contending factions. The
change for the better, since the with.
drawal of the federal troops, has
been remarkable, and not only has
it curtailed the lawlessness and fraud
attending elections, but it has large
ly benefited the financial condition
of the South, and also increased the
trade of the North with the South.

While it may be true that England

ing much longer than Russia, and
thus by q polite course wear out her
antagonist without q clash of arms,
stilI.it is England to-day that is bas-
teuing a clash of arms, and making
all possible preparations for immedi-
ate war Earl Derby has persistent
" and consistently opposed any step
in the British Cabinet which might
lead 10 war, and has done moro than
apy one else, so far, to keep England
from placing herself in such a posi-
tion that she would be compelled to
vindicate her honor. The calling
out of the reserves for immediate ac-
rion, determined in the British Cabi-
net was one of those steps to which
Derby could not give his assent, and
he resigned, as he has been on the
point of doing several times before.
His resignation determines that in
the future EngIand's foreign policy
will be more active, aggressive and
war-like, and greatly increases the
probability of a conflict with Russia
in the near future.
