The South's Hopeful Future

A matter of great interest to New England, and vital importance to the South, is the rapid increase of cot .on mills in the States south of the Potomac. North Carolina has 50 mills, and in all there are reported 1S3 erected since the war in the cot ton growing States. This is the opportunity of the south, Let prin- ciples of economy be observed in State and municipal government; let capitalists be assured that they will not be burdened by enormous taxes; let law and order prevail as in New England, there is no reason why the region where cotton grows at the factory door, where rivers turn the the mill wheels, and the adjacent fields which furnish the operatives with the staff of life, cannot compete successfully with the territory east of the Hudson, which brings its cot ton a thousand miles for manufac- ture, buys it's fuel five hundred miles away, and transports the con tinent. The outlook in the Southern States is hopeful, and they must have a great future before them.- Boston Herald.

 The new army appropriation bill passed, the house on Wednesday. It was so modified in it's political features as to present directly the issue as to whether federal troops should be used in influencing and controlling political elections. As Gen. Garfield and other republican leaders has previously declared their opposition to such use of the troops there was not a decent pre- text for them to oppose the passage of the bill, and therefore it passed without any organized opposition. But there were a considerable nun
 Der of republicans who vehemently declared that they were in favor of using the troops for that purpose, and bitterly complained that they were not permitted an opportunity to discuss this feature of the bill. They chided Gen. Garfield for deser- ting the party on this issue, and threatened the vengeance of the stalwart senators when the bill should go to the senate, where de bate could not be cut off by the pre- vious question. It now seems prob able that the wrangle on thls issue will be confined to the opposing fac tlcns of the republican party.

The gay world moves at Paris, and American girls are in the thick of the whirl. A New York lady met an Italian count in that city, and subsequently, renewed the acquain- tance at Rome. An engagement of marriage was agreed upon, and the future countess returned to Paris to get her wedding garments. The count ascertained that hls fiance had no money of her own, and would be depentent upon her brother and sister for whatever they chose to give her, and that the amount would not, according to the European fash ion, be settled upon her before the wedding day. He therefore wrote to the lady whom he had pretended to love, saying that hisIparents were opposed to the match, and he could not therefore marry her. She will consequently, be obliged to return to Amrrica without having her name inscribed among the beauties who have won titled husbands.

New York Sun: The Republican minorities in the Senate and Tn the House of Representatives, combin- ing with the Fraudulent President, and pushing him to an abuse of the veto power, have declared that the majority shall not control legislation, and that the public service shall starve unless the minority be allow ed to dictate the conditions upon which supplies are granted. In other words, the Republican contem, plate a revolutionary proceeding, by which the underlying principle of free government may be ovcrthrown and the majority deprived of it's right to govern.

The meanest man Tn America has again been discovered, He got on the cars at Pittston, Penn, one day last week on his way to Kingston, and his girl" was with him. The train.boy passed through the car and left package of prize candy in every seat. The meanest man open ed the package left with him, gave a part of its contents to the maiden, and then, closing the end as well as he could, gave it back to the boy. The youth demanded ten cents. The meanest man offered to compromise at five cents. The train hoy was very mad-so mad, in fact, that he was incapacitated for further ped ding. He finally carried off the meanest mans hat and left it with the ticket agent for redemption.

The Brayest People ON Earth.

General Shields was fond of telling
stories, and the following one j remem-
Der particularly well. Said the general:
son the 18th day Of September, 1S47,
the American army found itself before
the rampsrts of the city of Mexico. The
city contained 200, 900 inhabitants, and
was defended by 10000 disciplined
soldiers, yet $500 American soldiers
crossed those rampsrts and captured that
city. Can you show me any other Inc
stance of the kind in history reoollect
an old English msilitaire who was there,
and after he looked at the little band he
said: 6 Is this the army Yes Well
said he, all j have to ssy is this-you
Americans are the brayest people on
Gods earth TO come here with sucn
an army as that"

The pastor church in Baltimore
last week devised new way to collect
pew rents. Several of his congregation
being remiss in their settlements, he
ordered the pews of the delnquents
nailed up. Quite q number were thus
secured, and the pastor announced that
he had adopted this means to secure the
prompt payment of the money due him,
without which he could not conduct the
affairs If the church satisfactorily. He
called attention to the fact that the
delinquents were nearly all, if not all,
able to pay. Their wives and daughters
bristled with silks and satins, founces
and futhelows, and the pew rent remain
ed unpaid. The novel expedient has
proved complete success.

"He did; but ne says tbs OLD nlan
merely shook his head, wrung his hands
in the deepest distress and hurried away.
Digging my pen in my desk, to the
annihiIation of its nib, reflected over
nav wife's statement. Finally / said,
"My love, whatever it is, it is evident
We can do nothing. Sir Leicester Con

himself."
"Ail true, my dear. Certainly, the
poor gentleman has something on his
mind, but of Whist nature"
My observations were cut short by q
violent ring at the bell. The next mo
ment the servant, entering, announced
that the steward from the priory wished
TO see me immediately.
"Bhow him in here" said my wife
qnistly.

to the alley behind. A pistol was
drawn, but no use made of it. and after
a short parley the two separated with
out injury to each other. Judicial pro-
ceedings were contemplated by the
husband. who. however. has since con.
cluded that the game was not worth
the powder.
