The Late Hon. ECli shorter.
Mobile Register.I
The news of the death of Col.
Shorter is received with sincere re
gret by the many friends he had
secured at Mobile by his genial
manners and unquestinneh abilities.
Col. Shorter served in Congress for
two terms before the war. He was
Colonel OF the Eighteenth Alabama
Infantry. After the war he took
an active part in politics, not as Il
candidate but simply as a private
citizen who was anxious to reclaim
his State from thrallOm. His eff
forts upon the stump were most val
liable to the Democratic cause. His
speeches were eloquent, and replete
with Iumor, pathos and hard com
mon sense. He was a favorite
wherever he went, and had his life
been spared he would undoubtedly
have been called to high places by
his people. Col. Shorter was an
able lawyer and amassed quite IA
fortune at the bar. He was as
in society as he was att
upon the rostrum. Alas
bama has lost one Of her best citi-
zcnS.

The Pioneer Iress of ST. Paul,

exodus, tells the poor freedmen the
solemn truth i'll the following para>
graph:
"Every Western State has enough
of rude mpOverished. .ulskilled la Dor
already; and it is scarcely possible
TO view the approach of Il horde of
negroes other than as IA reinforce
ment to the pauper brigade. The
negroes make their living easier in
the warm climate and rich river
bottoms of the Lower Mississippi
than they can anywhere else in the
United States. The possession OF a
little plot of ground and q few
weeks work during the year have
guaranteed them from want. They
will take all their indOlent tropical
habits with them to tile harsher
North. where they will be i'll enough
fitted to meet the increased demand
upon ply sical activity, the severer
infections of IA colder climate, or a
vigorous competition of more
energetic white labor. ST. Louis al
ready is saddled with the mainten
ance of some thousands of the
visionary fugitives, and the people
of Kansas are dreading II similar
burden. Both the North and The
South may well unite in the at

say that they, the great body of the
laborers, must be abundantly salts
