people, uniformly and persistently,
have refused to be pacified, pleased or
conciliated. They are solely responsible
for whatever ill-feeling exists between
the two regions. -..,--...- ..-.-
We could have had peace if we had
consented to pay for it, the price which
they demanded, which was that we
should surrender the best fruits of that
victory to gain which we shed rivers of
valiant blood and expended nearly
three thousand millions of money. The
Republican antagonism of the South is
nothing more than refusal to pay such
a price. We have given the South
much, but we cannot give her every
thing. While the people forbid free
speech and free ballot, while they ex-
clude the entire negro population from
exercise of its rights, while they use
shot-guns to send to Congress to make
laws for US rebels who represent mi
nority of the voters, while they hold the
entire political field by violence for a
single party, there will never be ces-
sation of agitation in this region. The
bloody shirt will be waved persistently
because it is red with the blood of inno-
cent American citizens; the outrage
business will be thrust into every can
vass because the South is kept solid for
the Democratic party by means of out
rage. The Republicans of the North
cannot be warmed with indignation
over an imaginary condition of things.
They are not fools to be deluded by lies
or to be incensed by cheat. They
know that these things are true and
real. They do not hate the Southern
people, but they do hate their methods
and crimes.-Philddelphia Bulletin.

The Fortunes of the Presidents.

Washington left an estate worth
$500, 900. John Adams died moderately
well Off Jefferson died so poor that If
Congress had not given him $40. 600 for
his library he would have been bank
rupt. Madison was economical and died
rich. Monroe died so poor that he was
buried at the expense of his relatives in
this city. John Quincy Adams left
about $50, 900, the result of prudence.
His son, Charles Francis Adams, gained
large fortune by marriage. jackson
died tolerably well off. Van Buren,
died worth some $500, 900. It is said
that during his entire administration he
never drew any portion of his salary,
but on leaving took the whole S1OO, 900
in lump. Polk left about $3.50, 900.
Tyler married lady of wealth and ac-
complishments, and died rich. Taylor
left about $3.50, 900. Fillmore was al
ways an economical man, and added to
his wealth by his last marriage. Pierce
saved about $5O,0O0. Buchanan left
about $2OO, 600; Lincoln about $75, 900;
johnson about $50, 900. Baltimore Ga

repudiated. Nor is there any honesty
in the plea that property owners can
not make money any longer because
they own no slaves, because it has been
abundantly demonstrated that the free
colored man produces more by his la
employer, than the slave ever did. The
trouble lies further back. Wherever
slavery existed, there the moral sense
was so blunted and benumbed, by the
wholesale robbery of the earnings of
labor, that the white population as a
whole is to this day incapable of that
sense of honor which prevails else
where.

But it may well be doubted whether men

ever could have been faithful to Ma

their States and do not love the Nation.
Their love for their States does not re-
strain their polluting hands when there
is q chance to make money by robbing
the creditors of those States. Their
want of love for the Union only lends
zest and boldness to repudiating spirit
which would exist in any case.
For the Northern people there is one
question: Can we afford to trust the

as the solid South.-N. Y. TribNne.

bad! was born under an evil star,
Charley, and there never was the slight
est use for a fellow to try and get the
best of his i'll luckr'
This last sally caused me to look up
into the face of my companion with a
glance of surprise.
"Nonsenser' replied, laughing at
his cross visage. "What new, mis-
fortune has overwhelmed you now?''
We were seated-Richard Flanders
and myself-upon the piazza of the neat
little summer hotel at Lakeview, on the
Erie Road. and comfortably enjoying a
quiet after-dinner smoke in the cool
breeze of evening, which waited to our
senses the fragrant perfume of q thou
sand wild flowers. blooming about us
on every side. We were in the middle
of June, and the weather sultry and
warm. There had been little shower
in the afternc on, Just enough to keep us
indoors, and give Dick q chance to
grumble little.
never knew why it was that we
seemed to get on so nicely together; for
we certainly were the very best and
staunchest of friends. 1 had always
borne a great liking for Dick; half, l
suppose, on account of his genial man
ner, and half for the odd way there was
about him in everything he did or said.
He was tall and good looking; his face
was pretty and delicate as any woman's;
his eyes were deep blue, and his hair
almost golden. Beside physical favors,
nature had indulged him in every re-
spect; he had Just stumbled into q
small fortune that yielded him a couple
of thousand a year, and certainly ought
to make him a favorite with everyb body.
But, despite his handsome figure and
face, despite his graceful manner, de-
spite the usual brightness of his con-
versation, it must be acknowledged that
Richard Flanders had but few friends.
He had. one great fault; he was an ha-
bitual grumbler.
Nevertheless, he was a nice fellow,
and liked him all the more, perhaps,
because he had never taken it into his
odd head to complain of me, and every.
thing had always gone on with aston
ishing smoothness between us.
IFS q downright shamer' he cried
again. jumping to his feet and crossing
over to my end of the piazza. "I really

"You are certainly the most-to-be.

q tone of mock gravity.

Turning now to the people of Yazoo'

not the external adornment of his
frontis-piece that we must examine; it
is the fertility of the brain that works
behind it. But, speaking seriously,
that was really beautiful opportunity
which you offered him."
Dick was disposed to take my jest in
earnest, and as it pleased him to have
it so, l gave him his own way about
it. He fell back to putting away at his
cigar, and mumbling to himself about
the woes and deceptions of this world,
until a late hour in the night, when l
rose and moved that we adjourn to bed.
Six months later, Dick had a wife of
his own, who laughed quite as heartily
as myself when she heard his melan
choly story; and she assures him that
one being has been made happy through
his misfortunes-herself.
The little woman has made wonder
full changes in the character of Richard
Flanders. He is so altered to day that
his own twin brother would scarcely
know him.
The most striking feature of it all is
that he has done forever away with his
old habit of grumbling. He has the
most delicious temper in the world. and
his little wife looks with great and just
pride at the successful result of her pa
tient endeavors. There is a perpetual
smile upon her lips from morning until
night, and Richard Flanders declares
himself as happy as the grandest king.
Itwas long time before he could be
brought to call upon Mr.. and Mrs.
Harold; but his wife's coaxing prevailed
at last, and the two families are now
firmly attached to each other.

The Boss Bray by the Okolona Estate" !"
Ass.

The race question was recently sprung
in Yazoo County, Mississippi.
A white man named Henry NJ. Dixon,
wanted the Office of Sheriff.
He sought it in the Democratic Con-
vention and was defeated.
r Thereupon he announced himself as
an Independent candidate.
There was no Radical in the field,
and therefore he received the unani-
nous backing of the blacks.
Anything to defeat the Democracyr
is the shibboleth of Squash, Pomp and
Sambo.
The people of Yazoo had been sub
jected to the rule of the African race.
They knew Just what it meant, and
when they broke their yoke and fetters
in 1875, they swore by the Almighty
that the negro should never hold the
upper hand in that county again.
When Dixon began to mass his dusky
hordes, the wealth, the culture, the
worth, the bone and sinew of the coun-
ty rose in the royal strength and ma
jesty of their Caucasian blood, and
commanded him to withdraw from the
contest.
He withdrew, and Yazoo County was
saved from a long, bloody, informal
epoch of savagery and crime.
And-good men here and everywhere
on earth will thank the God of justice
and of mercy that it was SO.
