except the ono before US, has treated tho sub.

But Mr.. JAMES has made Solid South" of
it, and VIC esteem his work accordingly We
recommend the book warmly TO all schools
public and prvate-and predict good fortune
for this patriotic venture from the tLone Star
Stato.-NeW Orleans Picoy,nle.
Could anything be in worse taste than
this? Though Mr.. JOHN G. JAMES may re-
ceive the compliments of the New Orleans
Picdgme for such work we hardly think
that he will receive much honor from the
true patriots of the country at large. The
style of this book and its selections may be
faultless, but to make Solid South of o
school book certainly shows depraved in
tellecl on the part Of the person who would
put such an idea in form for the instruction
of the youth of the country and similar
spirit on the part of an influential paper
that would give it such encouragement. 1t
is worthy of notice, however, thut it is pub
lished by the superintendent of military
institute lie is undoubtedly looking
more to the carnal things of this world, the
practical success of a private enterprise,
than to the peace, harmony, and glory of
the whole country. We envy not such
spirit in any man nor its commentator on
the part of any paper This, however, is a
fair example of the spirit of the Lost
Cause" When peace has been established
and great exortions have been made at the
North TO make that peace a practical real
ity, throughout the South they are training
up their youth to regard this peace as only
truce for them to recuperate and reorgnn-
ize their forces for another and more deadly
attempt at the life Of the nation.

THE Havana (N. " journal, live and
stalwart Republican paper, in an editorial
notice of the recent speech Of the Hon. j.
w. DWIGHT, of the tweniy-eight district
Of that State, upon the financial question,
pays that gentleman a deserved compli-
ment in respect to his consistent and un-
deviatng record upon the all important
subject TO which lie has devoted so much
study and earnest work. The Journal in
this connection says "AIr. DwIGHTs utter
ances on the subject of finance in the
" Forty-ffth Congress has often led us to
a." feel that he would be an excellent nomi-
"nee for our next State Comptroller "
Such nomination would really be fitting
recognition of the faithful services and high
character of the gentleman referred TO, and
would reflect honor upon the party choos-
ing so wisely.

THE BOurbons claim that mr. HAYES
is not the President of these United States.
Yet they are not little nervous about a
few vetoes they expect from him. The
truth is, that their present revolutionary
attitude was encouraged in its earlier
growth to no little extent by their preju-
diced, partisan, and unfounded assumption
that he was not duly elected. This as
sumption served to beget disrespect of the
man and disregard of the powers Of his of
flee, as naturally rs violence and fraud be-
gets sedition and corruption. The result
is that they are now brought face to face
with certainty that they must succumb
TO the inevitable consequences of their own
fool-hardness, If they had, like sensible
men, yielded fair and generous recOgni-
tion Of the equities of the election of 1876
they would not now be compelled to antag-
onize n veto from an official whose authority
they deny in every and any respect, But
they have permitted their prejudices to
lead them step by step in the direction ol
covert sedition, until they have at last
reached the point Of open rebellion, thnly
disguised under the forms Of perverted
law.

TWO DREAMS.

Weary the King took off his crown =
In either hand he poised its weight
"Tis strange how heavy it has grown,
He said, and with an impatient frowl
He eyed it with a kind of hate;
Then on his bed he laid him down
And slept, and in twinkling dreamed
Oh! dream, Of ecstasy and bliss!
Delight thro' all his senses streamed
A ragged vagabond he seemed:
Free winds Of heaven his hair did kiss
On his fair skin the free sun beamed
At morn he walked, bewildered first
Or who he was or where might be;
Then saw the crown, and with burs
OF sudden rage, he swore and cursed
mo begg'r would change liveawith me
Of all hard fates, a Kings the. worst p
Outside the palace; on the ground;
Starv'd half to death and freezin' cold
Less sheltered than the meanest hound
A beggar slumbered safe and sound.
And dreams to him came swift an bold
As If a palace walled him round.
He dreamed he was king indeed:
Oh! dream of ecstasy and bliss!
Ut food he had his utmost need;
All men knelt low his hand to kiss
And gave his word obedient heed.
At morn he walked, bewildered first.
Or who he was or where might be;
Then quick, by hunger and by thirst
He knew himself, groaned aud cursed
mo pity creature takes on me!
A beggar's fate Of all is worst!"

lnEMOCRATS EVERYWHERE
~ should inform themselves care.
fully alike of the action of their party
throughout the country and of the
movements of their Republican oppo.
nents. A failure to do this in 1876 con.
tributed greatly to the loss by the De.
mocracy of the fruits of the victory
fairly won at the polls.
THE YEAR 1880 promises to be one
of the most interesting and importan,
years of this crowded and evcntful
century. 1t will witness a Presiden.
tial election which may result in re-es.
tablishing the Government of this coun.
try on the principles of its constitu
tional founders, or in permanently
changing the relations Of the States ia
the Federal power. No intelligent
man can regard such an election with
Indifference. THE WORLD, as the
only daily English newspaper publish
ed in the city Of New York which up
holds the doctrines of constitutional
Democracy, will steadily represent the
Democratic party in this great can
vass. 1t will do this in no spirit OF
servile partisanship, but temporarily
and firmly. AS a newspaper THE
WORLD, being the organ of no man,
no clique and no interest, will present
the fullest and the fairst picture it can
make of each days passing history in
the city, the State, the country and
the world. It will aim hereafter, as
heretofore, at accuracy first of all
things in all that it publishes. No man,
however humble, shall ever be permit
ted truly to complain that he has been
unjustly dealt With in the columns of
THE WORLDS No interest, however
powerful, shall ever be permitted truly
to boast that it can silence the fair crit.
icism Of THE WORLD.
During the past year THE WORLD
has sccn it's daily circulation treble.l
and it's weekly circulation pushed far
beyond that Of any other weekly news
paper in the untry. This great in.
crease has been won, as THE WORLD
believes, by truthfulncss, enterprise,
ceaseless activity in collecting news
and unfaltering lnvalty tn itself and to
it's readers i'll dealing with the qacs.
ti"ns of tho day. 1t is onr hope anl it
