We find that no man is ostracised for
his opinions or on account of the land of
his birth but, as elsewhere, for his bad
acts and dishonest failure to meet his
trusts and obligations. We find, too,
that it is mistake to treat suspiciously
or to ignore the kindly offices of neigh
borly friendship in all cases extended to
stranger, and that sometimes persons
have repellcd kindness and then COM
planned of being let alone.
We find that the Southern native ex-
poets Northern people to have notions
on politics and other topics different from
his, and views with as much contempt as
is elsewhere done any man who truckles
or toadies for simple gain.
We find that to the people of the other
sections of the United States the South
is an unknown land so far as relates to
knowledge of its soil, its climate, its
healthfulness and its people. That it is
libellcd for partisan ends, and we present
| this document in all conscience and
honor, to give honest knowledge and cor
rect wrong reports.
In document of this kind we cal 1ot
give detailed figures of products per acre,
nor the yield per ton of ores, nor the

j have therefore to recommend
that provision be made by law for
organizing, arming and disciplining
a militia force Of 200, 600 men, dis
tributed among the States, in the
proportion Of about 700 men to each
congressional district and territory
and district Of Columbia. To make
this practicable will require large an.
nual appropriations, that must be
permanent at least for few years
to give trial to the scheme. In
the first place there should he an an
nual appropriation Of 81, 1000, 900 for

give about So, 900 dollars for troops

The Ohio Election.

The Republicans Of the Buckeye
State have covered themselves with
glory Handicapped, as they were,
With an injudicioas nomination for the
Governorship, they nevertheless have
won splendid victory, and in spite of
all obstacles. To appreciate the mag
nitude of the triumph it is only neces-
sary to consider how strongly the Dem
ocratic party was intrenched in Ohio,
and the great value of the stake for
which it played.
Ohio now has majority Of Demo
Gratis in its representation In the lower
house of Congress, and consequently
on vote by States for President, if the
election was thrown into the House,
Ohio would vote for the Democratic
candidate in 1880. This was rendered
possible by the shameful redistricting
scheme which a Democratic Legislature
pushed through two years ago. Both
of the United States Senators are Dem
ocratic, both houses of the Legislature
are Democratic, the Governor and sew
eral of the State officers are Demo-
cratic, and that party is also strongly
intrenched in the official department of
many of the counties. This gave the
Democrats a decided political advan-
tage. But the Republicans Of Ohio
have proved themselves equal to the
occasion. They have elected the Gov
ernor and State officers, and carried
both branches Of the Legislature. This
will enable them to repeal the odious
and unjust ApportiOnment law, which
by fair and honorable redistricting of
the State will give the Republicans a
majority. of the Congressional districts
! in 1880. This of itself is matter of
National Importance, as it is an inn
portant step toward securing Repub-
lican majority in the next House.
Another and equally important result
is the capture of the United Statas Sem
atorship. Mr.. Thurman's successor
will not be Mr.. Thurman or Mr.. Ewing,
but stalwart Republican. This is an
other important step in the recapture
of the United States Senate BY the Re-
publ The securing of the Ohio
/ Legislature, beside abrogating unjust
and iniquitous legislation, will also have
an important bearing on the next Presi-

provisions of the constitution, there
IAN be no doubt, and Congress has
'xcerciscd this power in obsolete
and meagre laws now on our statute
looks. But there has been no prac.
teal means provided for enforcing
obedience to these laws. Everything
is left to the discretion Of individual
States. A few Of the States have
small but well regulated bodies 81
troops, while others have none, or,
if any, undisciplined, ununiformed

Proceedings for Reopentne Minis, Case

Proceedings for Reopenins Minis Case.
Proceeding were commenced In the su-
preme court yesterday looking to reversal
of the sentences in the cases of Charles r.
Minis, late defaulting treasurer of Mcleod
county. The circumstances of Minis defal-
cation, his trial, conviction by the lower
court, confirmation of the findings of the
lower court by the supreme court, and his
sentence to the penitentiary upon two of the
three indictments found against him, have
been given in detail in the. GLOBE. The
case Is now reopened in the supreme court,
under the title of Charles r. Minis,
plaintiff in error, vs.. The
State of Minnesota, defendant
in error, and is brought on the ground of
error in the forms of the sentences, which
are therefore declared void in that they are
oppressive and contrary to the spirit of the
law. Upon the first count Minis is SEN
fenced to the penitentlary for period of
three years and to pay fine of $4,000,
with confinement until such fine ia paid. and
upon the second count to confinement for
one year and fine of $4,000, confinement to
continue until the fine is paid, the
second sentence to commence from
the date of the expiration of the
sentence in the first count. Under these
sentences, that is providing Minis friends
did not come forward and pay his fine, or he
should be pardoned, the first sentence is
equivalent to 81 years of confinement and
the last to 10 years, total of 80 years.
The writs prayed for were granted by the
court, and made returnable Tuesday, Deem
Der 30, at 10 o'clock A. M. Hon. @. K. Davis
