The war between the steamboats,, we
understand, has already began. and
freight and passage is going down.
"Opposition is the life of trade" We
sincerely hope they may all make a
fortune, and at the same time keep the
price of freight and passage at figure
that will not take all the profits of q
crop to pay the freight or all the money
in a fellows pocket book, including the
lining, to pay his passage.

If the Legislature is going to call
a constitutional convention, the sooner
il is done the better. The unnecessary
expense of sixty days, or even of a
thirty days session, will considerably
detract from the merit of that body in
calling such a convention. If the con-
ycntion is q necessity, the expensive
luxury of protracted session of the
legislature should be dispensed with.

Such roads! Such weather! is the
exclamation we hear from every lip.
Nothing but mud Oh every side. Streets
and side walks are both alike. Hauling

and each and every man will have to
put on his old clothes, put his trust in

Why did not Mr.. Hayes explain,
in his recent stump speeches, how
the dreadful disorder at the South
which he depicted failed to interfere
with the unexampled crops harves-
ted in that part of the country? The
cotton crop of the South of this year
10 q half million Of bales greater
than ever before. Not SO much to-
bacco by twelve millions of pounds
did the South ever before gather in
one year as in this; nor SO much su.
gar by two hundred thousand hogs
heads How could all this be if
Labor had been demoralized or if the
negEO had been perpetually worried
by tbs white race? Do men toll and
accumulate wealth in q country 10
which the government gives no pro-
lection. as Mr.. Hayes pretends to
believe and tries to make other peo-
pie believe is the case in the "solid
South" Really, this stalwart rum.
pus about the South grows rather
ridiculous when we confront it with
economic facts Cannot our South
ern contemporaries explain this re-
markable development of national
production under the stimulus of the
