WASHINGTON, d. g., !

The session which closed yesterday
al much to familiarize the people with
tho meth DDS of Government which
have been in force for the last few
years, and therein was profitable to
the Democratic party and the people
at large. There was danger to free
government in the unchallangcd au.
thority of the Republican party, not
because the people were apathetic, but
because they did not fully realize THE
enormity of abuses which had grown
up during and since the war, and which
we're regularly sanctioned and pro-
vided for in appropriations until they
had come to be considered necessities.

That Exodus.
ICourier-J Journal !


The Republican party is sorely
bothered with the negro. The bal
lot was presented to him that
ne might reinforce the political
strength of the Republican party.
While this act was being perform
ed the party of humanity" put its
greedy hands III the negroes peck
cts and stole al his money. Dis
covering that the negro cannot be
depended Oh to vote the Republi-
can ticket, a leading Republican
candidate for the Presidency insists
that lac shall ba DISTINGUISHED, and
has been backed by his party.
The lates Republican effort to han
die the negro question is the prop
osition of Senator Window to take
the negroes, bag and baggage, ont
of the Southern States and plant
them in the Northern States. Then
the negro appears ON the scence
and objects, unless II whole terri
tory is given the race. where they
can be all to themselves and get
rid of their bogus Republican
friends. The Republicans may
writhe and groan over this bust
Dess, but they cannot dispose of
the negro in that way. They might
raise fund ont of their own peck
cts to put such negroes rs are will
ing to leave the South i'll Maine or
Massachusetts or Michigan, but no
Congress will vote territory for
the negroes or anything of the
kind. The negro has been given
abundant facilities for making
something of himself, and where
he has not been IDterfered with by
Republican thieves and pseudo
pilanthropists in the South, he has
done well. In Geor9ia, for in
stance, the negroes own $4,000, 600
or S5,000,000 worth of property.
The negro will get along very well
in the South if he is treated like
other American citizens i'll that
section. The attempt of the Re-
publicans to deprive him of hin
bollot or his facilities for getting
property is shameful and unpard-
enable, as is the Republican effort
to make him an assassin and in
cendiary, and to keep him in a
state of hostility toward those who
are his best friends.

FOR 1879.

On the LIST of May. 1876, the owner
ship and control of The WORLD passed
into the hands of the undersigned, un-
der whose absolute and untrammelled
direction The World has ever since re-
manned and now remains.
During the whole Of this time TIE
WORLD has labored patiently and perse-
veringly for the accomplishment Of two
great objects in politics of paramount In
terest to the Southern people.
l. The restoration Of local sclf-gov-
eminent at the South.
2. A real reform Of the Civil Service,
in such wise as to destroy the political
machines under the operation Of which
it has come to pass that the people are
taxed to support political parties, where
as political parties have no other reason
of being except to lessen the burdens Of
government.
The first Of these objects has been tri.
umphantly accomplished. All intelli-
gent Northern men now admit that all
parts of the country were AZ deeply in
terested as the South in seeing it won.
A corrupt and anti Democratic govern
| ment in the South was a permanent peril
to 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
The WORLD contends still remains to be
fully achieved. The actual Administra-
ton began its career with excellent
promises in this direction of which it 10
sufficient to say that they have been "a

for its part will resolutely support any
honest effort to redeem these PROMISES
| fully, by whomsoever made, and will
as resolutely denounce every obstacle
thrown in the way Of redeeming them
| from whatever quarter.
1t seems to the undersigned eminent
| 1y proper that he should ask the Co
operation Of the best men Of the South
with The WORLD in its efforts to carry
out the policy here outlined. He be-
lieves The WORLD to be paper which
Southern citizens and Democrats can
recommend to Southern readers - an
influence worthy and important to be
brought to bear with constantly increas-
| ing power upon the Conduct of our ma
| tional affairs. in the interest Of truth. Of
justice and of hamony among our peo-
| pie OF all sections.
1t is my desire to keep TIE WORLD in
living relation with the best thought
Of the South, to the end that the best
ideas. wishes and feelings Of the South
ern people may be clearly and fairly
made known to the North, the East and
the West. Alike in private and in pub.
| lie affairs, the Misunderstanding Of men
by one another lies ut the root of %
much evil that the word itself has come
to be synonym with quarreling and
strife. 1t was wise saying Of Lord
Elgin, at the time Of one Of our sharpest
disputes with Great Britain, that two
intelligent gentlemen alone on raft IN
the Atlantic with plenary powers could
adjust the whole matter honorably in
an hour.
The WORLD simply ash its friends u
the South to aid it in bringing about q
complete meeting OF niiuds ON ALL pub
lie questions between the Intelligent
citizens of all parts Of the Union.
