HOPEFUL FOR THE FUTURE Of THE COUNTRY.
The south less Dependent Upon
the North.

the North.
New York, March 81.
JEFF. Davis has been interviewed by the
Boston Herald" Speaking of National
affairs, he was very hopeful OF the future
of the country. He did not believe there
was any existing cause for sectional es-
arrangement, or that there could be any
hereafter. One of the results Of the war,
already apparent, is that the South is less
dependent upon the North than heretofore,
for while she will supply the great staples
as before, her people have begun to pro-
duce a greater variety Of crops for their
own use, n will eventually compete with
other sections in manufactures and in the
mechanical arts. He thought the condi-
ton of the present generation OF the black
race all the worse by the abolition of
slavery. He doubts very much the wisdom
Of the attempt to educate the negro. n
utterly dishelieves in giving him the ballot.
He said he had changed his mind entirely
upon one question, viz: that the great
staples of the South, cotton and sugar,
could be produced with greater economy
and in greater abundance by paid labor
than by any labor of slaves. In conclu-
sion, he said: "You may assure your people
that / lave no unkindness in my heart to
them, or any Of the people of the North.
l I'm not the devil they have painted. l
have neither horns nor hoofs, and if they
knew me they would find / am very much
like one of themselves.

The celebrated criminal case of the State
-. ID nI.-1 Nra ~ NaHraH1ofs aaft1a
kings, and his ten associates, indicted for
burning Mitchell and Ketchum alive at the
stake, in Cnster county, begins at Hast
ings to-day. A desperate effort will be
made to obtain a -postponement, but it is
generally understood that Judge Goslin
will order the trial to proceed The de-
PENDANTS will doubtless demand separate
trials. In which event Olives case will be
tried first, and will last ten or eleven days.
The prosecution fear that attempts will be
made to tamper with the jury. Olives
aged father and mother, and his brother,
j. W. Olive, are here from Texas, and an
other brother is on his way here from Texas
with 1000 horses. The Olives are rich
and powerful, and propose to do everything
possible in behalf of the prisoner and asso-
ciates, all of whom are to be tried for their
lives.
Presidential A~spirants.
HARRISBURG, Pa, March 81.
Efforts are making here among the
friends of Don Cameron to give him a
very prominent place among the avail
ables in the Presidential race. Several
Republican members of the Legislature
are ~outspoken for him, and believe things
can be so shaped as to make the Pennsylva-
mia delegation a unit in his behalf. The
majority of the Senate and House is be-
lieved to be for Grant. 1t is stated that
the Democratic members are almost solid
for Tilden and Hendricks. Some Demo-
cratic politicians here distribute small
cards, bearing the likeness Of Tilden ana
Hendricks, with the words beneath !:
Gentlemen, be seated" They are sup
posed to have come from the New York
bureau.
The Marquis of I.orne Not Coming.
NEWPORT, r. l., March 81.
The recent report about the Marquis Of
Lorne coming here is said to have been an
advertising dodge of a real estate agent.
Neither the English Minister nor any one
else has written for a cottage for the
Marquis. The prospects are fair for a
lively season here and a considerable
movement in real estate. Keene's recent
purchase, it is said, was fastened by the
shrewd device of q real estate agent, who
played off by telegraph a splendid bidder
for the property, forcing Keene to make a
quick decision, and thereby getting several
thousand dollars more than the property
sold foa less than a year ago.
