Folly Of the South.

1t may well be said that the Southern
States are becoming prodigal in furnishing
material for charges against themselves
Dixon was murdered Only few weeks since
for political reasons, and his murderer is
still at large, and candidate likely to be
elected to a county Office. The murderer OF
Cornelia Chisholm was acquitted in spite oil
overwhelming testimony against him. lie
was acquitted because the jury did not dare
to bring in contrary verdict. Following
these exhibitions in Mississippi is one in
South Carolina as bad in intention but not
so fatal in issue. The attempt to assassi-
nate prominent Republican was made, but
only wound was inflicted The story is,
briefly, that not long since the town OF Black
vile, South Carolina, had postmistress
that was so violently rebel in her sympa-
thies that she would not deliver the mail OF
Republicans, nor would she send letters
from the Office addressed TO prominent mem
bers of the opposing party. OF course there
was complaint, and General Key after inves-
tigatiou turned her out, and coored man
by the name Of Nix was appointed to the
position. The dominant party formed a
conspiracy to murder him and one Williams
was deputzed to do the work. lie entered
the office, called for bis mail, and when Nix
turned his back to getit cowardly shot him.
General Key issued orders TO close up the

A LOOK BACKwARD.-Last week COM
p'eted seventeen years since seventeen loyal
states were represented in Governors Con
vention, at Altoona, Pennsylvania. They in
dorsed the action of President Lincoln, who,
two days before, had proclaimed that on
January /, 1868, all slaves in states or parts
of states in rebellion should be forever free.
They also requested the president to organ
ize a reserve force of one hundred thousand
men. Upon the same day, September "a,
1862, the president issued proclamation
ordering the arrest of all rebels and insur-
gents, their aiders and abettors, in the
United States, and also suspending the writ
of habeas corpus in such cases. On this
eventful day, General Butler, then at New
Orleans, ordered all Americans in his de-
partment to renew their oath of allegiance
to the government, and to furnish returns
of their real and personal property, under
penalty of fine and imprisonment. Then,
hosts of people feared that peace and plenty
would never return to the republic. Now,
men all over the country are congratulating
each other upon the bright outlook for a
better prosperity than the nation has yet
known. 1t is pertinent to inquire which Of
the two great political parties of the coun.
try has been the active and which the re-
sisting force in accomplishing these grand
results.

A NEW DoDGE.-Congressman Chalmers
of Mississippi is out with proposition that
in Louisiana, South Carolina, Florida and
Mississippi, the Legislatures provide for the
appointment of presidential electors not by
the people but by the legislatures in order
TO avoid the interference of the federal cleo
ton laws at the polls. There is nothing I'M
constitutional in this. A state legislature
can designate any conceivable way for the
appointment of presidential electors and
there is nothing new--in nearly all the
states electors were appointed by the state
Legislatures for years after the adoption of
the federal constitution but there is much
that is unwise. The appointment of elect
ors by state legislatures was one method for
removing the choice of president from the
people. In a state governed, like South
Carolina, by small oligarchy, electors were
appointed in this way till the state seeded
or tried to and failed. What the South
needs is not step backward to old meth.
DDS, putting power in the hands of the few
but forward toward broader distribution
of power. Any other course will lead t.
wider differences between the North ant
the South, the last thing wanted

PRESIDENT HAYEs.-The Boston Herald
well says President Hayes has never ap-
peared to better advantage than during his
present Western tour. He has made more
than half a dozen addresses to the people,
most of them short, and all of them char
acterized by modesty, good sense and strong
patriotism. He never INDUCES in claptrap
or rhodomontade, but always finds some
thing of useful or hopeful nature to say
to the crowds who assemble to see and hear
him. At the present time, when all bust
ness enterprises are taking fresh start
when confidence seems to be fully reestab.
lished, and the country is on the high road
to prosperity, the president of the United
States might be excused for claiming for
the administration the credit Of having done
much to bring about this great improve
ment in the condition of affairs. But Mr..
Hayes does not. On the contrary, he tells
his hearers that it is the people themselves,
and not the officials at Washington who
have wrought this change

European quiet has been of short dura-
ton. The cable brings the important in
telligence that Germany and Austria have
formed an alliance. Each Of these great pow
ers has formally agreed to make the cause
of the other its own whenever it shall be
made apparent that there is need of put
ting forth of their combined strength
Next to the two contracting parties, this
new alliance probably possesses the greatest
significance for Russia and France.
II is easy to be imagined why Russia feels
unpleasantly toward Austria and would be
glad of the opportunity to work her ILL.,
Every time that Russia thinks of Austria
these days she cannot but be reminded of the
old fable of the man who shook the tree and
the man who gathered the apples History
will record that in the late war she was the
shaker and Austria the gatherer of the prize
fruit. Russia poured out her blood and her
treasure to expel the Sick Man from
Europe. But having fought and bled and
won she was forced to see Austria rather
than herself take possession of the territory
from which the Turks had been expelled.
The Gar will see in the new alliance proof
that Austria appreciates the state of his
feelings toward her, and that the express
sions of certain Muscovite newspapers of
late, in regard to the occupation of Bosnia
and Herzegovina, have showed her the pru-
dence of providing herself with strong ally
against the contingencies of the future.
The cable informs us that " the Russian
embassy has been confidently assured that
no hostile demonstration against Russia is
intended in the visit of Bismarck at Vienna
to Count Andrassy." The embassy will
probably take this for what it is worth, and
conclude that it is worth Just this much
that Austria and Germany will not take the
aggressive against Russia until they get a
good chance.
As for Germany, it is to be said that If
Austria had need of her she had need OF
Austria. Bismarck realizes that France
only waits for an opportunity to take usuri
Gus revenge for the blow which she lately
received at the hands of the Germans. Be
sides, equally with Andrassy, he is siren
uously opposed to Russia's placing her GRASP
upon Coustantinople. Emperor William was
perhaps strong enough before 10 meet any
enemies that may be developed in the pro
gress of events, but Emperor William plus
Emperor Francis Joseph are well-nigl
irresistible team. We are told that Europe
at large is well pleased with the alliance
believing that it is in the interest of peace
The conclusion would seem to be wei
founded. Until the map of Europe changes
again, until other alliances are formed, il
is difficult to imagine which of the grea
powers would be likely to take the risk o.
the aggressive.

Noon PRAYER-MEETING,-The Fulton
street daily prayer-meeting in New York
city has remarkable record. The compile
ton of twenty-five syears of its existence
was celebrated at midday on Tuesday, the
23d ult., in che Middle Dutch church on
Fourth street. The white marble pulpit
was decorated with the loveliest of all
leaves the simple and commonest ferns,
wild from the valley streams of Long
Island, and arranged in effective groups by
the tasteful hand Of Mr.. Lanphier himself,
who in 1857, founded and to the present
time has daily maintained, by his influence
and presence, the Fulton street noon prayer
meeting The two middle tiers of seats
by the main aisle were given to business
men, the frequenters of the noon meeting
women and strangers filled the four outside
tiers and the galleries, the seven clergymen
speakers occupied the pulpit, and below it,
in front, sat the singers, Mr.. Lanphier in
their midst, starting the tunes aud literally
carrying the chorus of the whole house
with his own leading voice, just as he has
done for score of years gone by. The
speakers were from seven denominations OF
Christians

BETTER TMEs.-The good times so long
looked and waited for seem to be at last
dawning upon us in very deed Prices are
moving upward so rapidly that very few
days only are needed to show material ad.
vance. From August Goth to September
23d, in the New York market, for instance,
pig-iron rose from s22 TO S27 per ton, -four
from Si3j to S5.25 per barrel, wheat from
s1.1O sl.3O per bushel, pork from 1915 to
S0,l5 per barrel, and butter from seventeen
to twenty-sx cents per pound, and nearly
every article of staple demand in proportion
Some portion of this advance is speculative
and will not last, but the day of cheap prices
has PROFESSIONALLY begun to depart.

A GREAT WANr.-The immense influx
of gold to this country suggests a topic of
practical Importance which has long at
tracted the attention of political economists,
namely, the desirability of uniform sys-
TEN Of international coinage. A forcible
evidence of the present want of system is
daily illustrated at the United States Assay
Office, where vast quantities of coin, fresh
from the mints Of other countries, are poured
into the melting pot, to be re-coined in
American money--a needless waste of time
and MEANS but one which must constantly
occur under the present defective monetary
system.

We had fondly hoped that this was to be
the end of similar contests for the present,
at least in this country. But no. 1t is too
profitable. Over $4,000 of gate money has
been divided among the three leading con-
testants, and this COW gives altogether too rich
milk to allow her to go farrow So another
match has been patched up, and will be
trotted, run and walked for, beginning on
the 9th of October. When the people get
sick of this kind of "cruelty to animals
as we think they will pretty soon, we pre-.
sumo they will drop it like a hot potato,
and probably find some other method OF
popular gambling.

A Coop TEsT.-The depression out of
which the country is emerging began with
a great reduction in the valuation of rail
road property; it is closing with an equally
remarkable appreciation of railroad values.
Taking the price of railroad stocks and
bonds year ago and comparing them with
the quotations in the present month, the
stocks show an aggregate advance of S2l5,
100000, and the bonds OF 1891 900, 00O-an
advance in the total value OF these securi
ties OF s446,OOO,O0O. This is an increase OF
about ten per cent on the total amount OF
the capital aud funded debt Of the railroads
in the United States.

BRIGHT SKIEs.--Al indications point to
a large majority for Foster in Ohio and we
confidently look for similar result in New
York and Massachusetts,. Business men and
manufacturers everywhere very well know
that Democratic victory this year would
be a serious setback TO the tide of national
prosperity which is rising in all directions.
II would create uneasiness and destroy con-
fidence in all branches Of trade. The coun-
try has gained nothing from the Democratic
party except adversely. We are just now
getting rid of the terrible load of trouble
heaped upon us by the treason OF Demo
cratic leaders eighteen years ago. All the
achievements already made in this direction
are at stake in the political contests OF the
time. There must be no step backward.

IT seems that concerted effort is being
made to bring General Hancock forward
as the candidate Of those Southerners who
are opposed to another dish OF Tilden and
reform. Hancock headquarters are to be
established at Washington after congress
meets, and his friends already boast OF their
ability to prevent Tilden's running again
The one thing that gives Tilden such q
chance in the next national Democratic con
vention is the division of his opponent.
among a number OF candidates.
