Ths South and It's Newspapers.
From the New orleans Times.


7 There is no question that the tone Of the
great majority 0f the newspapers Of the
South is to-day bolder, more independent
a.,d outspoken than 1t has ever before.
rhe newspapers realized the necessity Of
taking position in advance of public sem
tiuaent an many important questions, ana
they took it, although they were aware they
risked their popularity. They knew, how
ever that what they lost in the present they
would gain in the future. 1t has not been
very long since, in. many sections OF the
South. the spirit OF intolerance prevailed
| to srch an extent as to practically shut out
immigrants from the Northern states
Through the .well-directed efforts OF the
ne sspapers that spirit has about disappear
ed. aud ,mmigrants find nowhere more
hearty and hospitable welcome than IN the

afflicted society in the South, the existence

THE KNOT OF THE BLUE AND GRAY.

Upon my bosom lies 7----7----,
A knot OF blue and gray;
You ask me why. Tears Gil my eyes
AS low to You say:
had two brothers once
Warm-hearted, bold and gay;
They left my side-one wore the blue,
The other wore the gray.
One rode with stonewall and his men,
And joined his fate with Lee.
The other followed Sherman's march
Triumphant to the sea.
Both fought for what they deemed the right.
And died with sword in hand:
One sleeps amid Virsinia's hilla,
And one in Georgia's sapds.
The same sun shines upon theii graves,
My love unchanged must stay;
Ano 30 npon my bosom lies
The knot of blue and gray.

point one cadet to Annapolis and one to
West Point. Very many have recently
been mistaken in this particular. The ap-
pointment of cadets is the privilege of the
district and not of the member, and the APP
pointments each year are always equal to
to the number of the graduating class, and
all candidates for appointments must be
nominated one year in advance. 1t hap
pens that an outgoing member may DomI'
nate cadet for vacancy which may not
occur until the end Of the first year OF his
successors term in Congress, The same is
true of Annapolis. President Hayes has

Reporters and Detectives
Detroit Free Press.


The success which reporters not unfre-
quently achieve In the detection Of crime
undoubtedly arises from their habits of OBJ
servation. A detective observes, but mar
rowly. His attention is almost wholly con-
fined to one class of persons. He looks
ont of his eyes for the purpose of seeing If
people act like criminals, not if they act
like other people; he is on the watch for
special and unusual signs, not for those
that are natural aud common TO human be-
ings. Hence In the course of t,ms he gets
preconceptions of crimes and criminals that
not unfrequently mislead him, because cri-
minals, being human. greatly differ. More
over this narrowness OF vision in the very
nature of the case confines him to few
stereotyped theories of crime and it's COM
mission. IF the facts do not fit into any of
these. he ia dependent on some sort of pre-.
conceived notion, and he is obliged to in
vent theory, and so goes wandering off in
hit-or-miss sort of way, often leading no.
where. The reporter, trained by his duties
to observe even trivial things with the hope
that they may lead up to something i'm
portant, and not to neglect anything that
occurs lest perchance he should miss good
thing, is thus unbiased by any theory or
prejudice. A detective, absorbed in his
preconceptions about how criminal ought
to act, will overlook these signs and tokens.

English Ignorance or America.

After Lord Beaconsfeld's Aylsbury
speech, some two months since, and Mr..
Froudo's more recent exhibition, we cannot
lish misconception of American affairs.
grave editorial in tho last London Er-
amiaer seems to be regarded by several
contemporaries as capping the climax, but
we are willing to look at that article in
a different light. It is written, indeed,
with solemn gravity which wears the ap-
pearance of sincerity, but the errors are so
wildly preposterous that we incline to
think the writer merely intended o hoax.
But how dense must be the English ignor-
ance of affairs in the United States if such a
hoax has any chance of success It
is stated by the Examiner that Victoria
Woodruff has good chances to be
elected President of the United States.
"It has been known for several weeks
that Mrs. Woodruff had been visited
in her retirement at South Kensington by
deputation of seven American gentlemen.

licited to stand for the Presidency" On

to recite her history and discuss her pros
poets. We are told that her bank in this
city was entered and gutted, causing a
damage which Congress has now agreed
to make good to the extent Of five hundred
thousand dollars" and that she ''lost in
the struggle two million dollars, her health
and almost her life but she won the most
enthusiastic regard of the people" We
trust these samples will suffice. We know
not what success this stupid hoax may
have in England, but it has so far succeeded
in this country as to convince several Of our
journals that the writer is really as ignorant
as his air Of perfect seriousness implies.

The annual report of Mr.. Hayt, Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs, gives an encourag-
ing view Of the capacity of the Indians for
improvement, as attestedby the experience
of the year. The most Important civilizing
influence is agriculture, and there is a grow
ing addiction to agricultural pursuits, especi-
ally the raising of cattle. The transition from
the life of huntsmen to that of herdsmen
is easy and natural and will probably be
the intermediate stage to the extensive
growing of crops. The Commissioner
recomm ends the breaking up of the tribal
relations SO far as regards property, and as
signing to each Indian portions Of land in
separate ownership. When this is done it
will be great step in advance. One of the
hopeful evidences of Improvement is the
extension of education. The young Indians
are bright and quick in elementary
studies, and there are already thirteen
Thousand three hundred and fifty OF
them under nstruction-namely, six thou
sand two hundred and fifty in the five
civilized tribes, and seven thousand one
hundred at the agency schools. Agricul-
ture and education are the two grand levers
of civilization for the roaming tribes, and
when the older part of the present genera
ton of savages shall have died off there will
be great hope Of the now rising youth.

The Irrepressible Labouchere.

Further chapters of the somewhat pi-
quaint story of Mr.. Labouchere's adventures
in the clubs and courts of London are given
in our cable dispatches to-day. His hear
ing before the magistrate on the charge of
libel was to have been continued yesterday,
and it was anticipated by his opponents
that the gamey fight he has made hitherto
would undergo gloomy eclipse. 1t
will be remembered that on all
he has entertained the company present
with somewhat snowy vivisection of his
accuser, whom he was able to put on the
stand as witness, and who, owing to the
latitude of the examination, he forced into
some not very pleasant admissions. But
the magistrate had decided to cut that in
vestigation short, and Labouchere sought
to force him, by an order from the Court Of
Queens Bench. not to narrow the field of
inquiry. Chief Justice Cockburn refused
the proffered aid; and the magis-
trate, left to himself, would perhaps
have committed the accused for trial
yesterday. Lucky Labouchere, however,
has another chance to try some new re-
source, since an unlocked for cab ran
over the magistrate at propitious mo-
| ment and forced a postponement. How
| Mr.. Labouchere takes the vote for his ex-
| pulsion from the Beefsteak Club and how
his appeal to the courts to set aside the &C.
ton of the club is viewed by some of the
| persons concerned is all told in our special
dispatches, which are worthy the especial
attention Of all who are pleased to study
this quaint episode of London life.

Judge Comstock's letter, which will be
found in another column, concerning the
recent democratic unpleasantness in this
State, piques public curiosity. The Judge
does not approve of reconciliation by arbi-
tration. He is q conservative, old fashioned
lawyer. and believes still in the ''wager of
battle" The modern system of referees he
puts no faith in. "The difficulties, if they
exist" he says-probably slip of the pen
for 'if they persist" "--''must be worked out
in the accustomed mode" But he inti-
mates that democratic Presidential candi-
date has been discovered 80 "distinguished
for sound opinions upon public questions,
disinterested services and private virtues, "
that his nomination will compose every
difficulty, fanciful or real, and avoid the
need either OF battle or of reference. Now
who is this paragon? The Judge pro-
vokingly conceals his name. Is he Mr..
Tilden2 Who is hep Does anybody be-
sides the Judge himself possess the i'm
portant secret?
