The True Southern Policy.

HarPer's Weekly says We have received
letter from Democratic planter in the Red
River Parish, Louisiana, commenting upon
some Of our remarks upon the negro exodus.
He denies that the movement is due to III
treatment, and attributes It to childish super
stition and credulity ut would be enough
for one Of their trusted leaders TO dream Of
Kansas as land flowing with milk and honey,
TO start neighborhood; and having been freed
without effort Of their own, they have always
looked for the forty acres and a mule to come
in the same way Our correspondent was
an eyewitness OF the Coushaita aud Caledo-
MIA riots, which he thinks sprang from the
same crednlty and superstition, and he insists
that the negroes were the aggressors IN both
instances. He attributes the misery OF the
situation to the reconstruction acts. Admit
ting that Kansas stampede would be ter
rible industrial blow, he yet asserts that he
and his neighbors would prefer it ten thou
sand times TO a return to the rule Of barbarisnl.
He is planting with more than two hundred
celored hands, who are happy aud prosperous,
and he has no wish to change from colored to
white labor Speaking for 'sthe Southern
people'--by which he evidently means the
whites--he says that they want no more reyo-
lutions, but that they need reenperation. Ia
his neighborhood the majority Of the colored
voters now vote with Gus, honestly and
without intimidation. But there is large
number "who will at any time 60 10 Kansas
if excited, and by excitement of that kind,
''if you choose, you can reduce the cotton
supply, aad bring misery and suffering TO thou
sands Of now happy homea.h
The letter is the expression Of truly sim
cere conviction. OF that we have no doubt.
But the writer, and those who think with him,
have very mistaken idea Of the real Repub
lican feeling of this part of the country, which
desires harmony and good understanding
as heartily as they.
So says Harpe's Weekly, but it might
have been added in the interest Of truth,
that Northern Republicans are ever ready
to villify and misrepresent the South when
ever there is prospect Of firing the
Northern heart, or Of making capital for
themselves, by turning anything and every
thing against the Democratic party, which
it IS possible for them to do. The letter
referred to was written by an honest South
ern planter, and emphatically denies that
the negro exodus is due to III treatment.
Northern Republicans are convinced, how
ever, that the negroes are shamefully NAL
treated by the whites, aud verify believe
that they are contributing of their means
to help dOwntrodden people to fee from
oppression. The Weekly then goes on to
commend the course of policy marked out
by the Mississippi Valley Labor Convcn-
ton which recently met at yicksburg, an
outline Of which we gave to the readers of
the Aarocdte in our last issue.

Roberts no better man could be chosen.n
The people Of Carroll have a high appre

Richie, but foremost Ia their confidence and
esteem stands the Hon Chas D. Roberts. In
selecting Mr.. Roberts 10 represent her in the

at The same time honoriug herself by the

A Questionable Position.

Mr. George William Curtis is the schol-
arly editor Of HpPer's Weekly, and that
periodical is "a journal Of civilization, or,
at least, Processes to be- We cannot con
ceiye Of any true civilization which is NOT
based upor the Fundamental principles Of
revealed truth, by which we mean the
Divine Word. All other systems must
necessarily be defective and imperfect.
Mr.. Curtis is not Of that way Of thinking,
although we are not aware thet he expresses
such thoughts in the Weekly. He has,
however, expressed them verbally. In a
speech which he made in New York, last
week, this accomplished rhetorician ridi.
culed the orthodox doctrine Of the future
sfate, state Of rewards and punishments,
prosouneing It merely an assertion of the
lips and not faith Of the heart. Tho
gravity ef this charge against the Chris.
tian Ministry -agaiust all those whoteacll
Or hold The doctrine Of eternal rewards and
puuishmcnls, could not have been greater
BY any form of speech which It is possible
TO employ. It involves an accusation d
hypocrisy, than which no greater sin i,
known to the decaloguc, or is found within
he whole range Of the moral law. Ii

this life, Of Bright's disease of the kidneys
Mr.. Scott had held several positions of
Importance He was elected Clerk of the
Circuit Court of Cecil county, some years
ago, which position he filled throughout
his term with great acceptability. lie
was appointed BY Gov Carroll, as Weighcr
of Live Stock, which position he held at
the time Of his death, and his payments
into the Treasury Of the State attest how
well he discharged this trust also. Mr..
Scott was the very soul Of probity and
honor, and possessed gentlenoss and &c.
niality which endeared him to large circle
offriends and relatives. Although devoted
to business pursuits, he was man of lit
crary tastes and of considerable culture.
AS poet we do not know that he had his
equal in the State, but of late years he
paid but little attention to the Muses..
The death of Mr., Scott has left vacuum
in society that will not soon be filed.

ramby concern, the New Orleans

The Legislature just adjourned

1878, with the extra session thrown
in. This shows how much can be
done when as Assembly attends to
the wishes of the people" and
keeps ring and monopoly agents at
a respectful distance. Such a body
could make all the laws Louisiana
needs and sit only once in two
years for that purpose.

them against common enemy. no
