THE SOLID SOUTH.
An Ala b8 m. n Vie-r nf IT

MONTGOMERY, ALA, Nov. 5.-The Montgomery
Advertiser Says:-''The lawleSSneSs and oppress-
sion, the profiigacy and plunder of the republi-
can party compelled the solidity Of the south.
To that S0l1dity, more than ever before, she
must remain SteadfaSt and uumovable. Under
our benign home rule our people have pros
pered to degree that has aStounded our
friends and confused our enemies. There need
not be, and Will not be, any let up In the won-
deIful progress OF the south under the new
regime. whatever 1t may be, which the republi-
can party seek to fnaugurate. 1t cannot mate
rally affect the south. 1t Will. indeed, prove
self leliapce, greater energy and wiser efforts
In developing the wonderful wealth and un-
limited resources, which kind Providence has
bestowed upon the sunny south. The sun Will
Still shine, the gentle showers will fall seed
time and harvest Will still bring their blessings,
ard our great staple must continue to be
power In the commercial world, white
CUR coal and iron and other min
erals will yield a wealth OF which taa
world does not dream. Let the solid south
solid always for hcme rule and honest govern
ment-now give its greatest vigilance and wiseSt
counsels not to national politics or to the con-
fictS and passions OF national parties but to the
building up and advancing Of our educational
moral and material interests. Herein the south
is and must continue TO be solid-Solid as her
glorious mountains and strong and increasing
as the flow OF her own broad and beauti; IA
streams. 1t may be that GARFIELD will prove a
very different man from what lis past record
indicates as the first officer CT our great repuo-
lie. With the responsibility OF the government
OF fifty millions OF people pressing upon him
ne may possibly prove wise and benehcent
ruler"

THE CHINESE LETTER.
The Testimony Tn dav

NEW YORK, Nov. SIN the Philip case this
morning Expert Carvalho was cross-examined,
but his testimony developed nothing important;
in both letterS-Morey aud Jewe,l-the slope.
he said, was preserved. The loops IA the first
portion OF the former were larger than those In
the latter, In the Jewell letter departure has
evidently been made from the characteristics of
the Morey letter, though the witness was not
prepared TO swear that it was Intentional:
there vas also slight departure ia the Jewell
letter from the Morey letter. Mr.. Howe tnen
asked the indulgence OF the court and requested
an adjournment The basis or his application
was two kilograms, the contents OF which were
rot publicly dfvulged. He said the messenger
had been sent TO Lawrence, Mass, fn order 10
bring on the former witness, Morey.
Mr. Bliss objected. saying that it would leave
the defence With the privilege OF putting In
fresh testimony after the prosecution had fin.
lsled, and that his witnesses were on their way
here TO rebut Morey's testimony. Mr.. Howe
was allowed half an hour TO prepare an affidavit
10 support the contents OF the kilograms
DAHL Il. Ames, expert, was recalled for the
pres ecution, and exhibited transparency
showing the slope OF the Morey and Jewell let
tiers. He testified that there was an average
difference or seven degrees between the two.

Especial Dispatch to The Erening Star.l
NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-The Herald continues to
pour hot shot into John Kelly, charging that h,.
and he alone is responsible for the loss of ~
York state to the democracy, and the con,,
quent defeat OF Hancock. The Stn also ch iry.s
that John Kelly did it, and says: 'Tne -
session and retention of the Office of com ptr0l r
cost the democracy the control of the govern
ment OF the state OF New York. and the control
OF the government Of the United States for the
next four years."
TIE Times says. In reference to the wild ru-
mors aiioat that the vote OF New York win BOT
oe counted for Garfield, that the republican
electors have majority In that state of at least
$4,000, and that there ts no method by which
the republican party can be cheated out of the

To threaten to thwart the viii OF the people is
folly, because Mr.. Barnum can no more do 1t
than ride into Heaven on one of his mules But it
Is also crime, because, to the extent to which
anybody supposed him to represent his party,
1I would mean delay, confusion and disaster.
The Tribune estimates Gen. Garheld'S majority

eco. In the table Of county majoritieS which
is printed elsewhere, hardly half dozen coun-
ties are merely estimated. In all other cases.
either the exact vote is given. or an estimate
which has been made In the locality and tee-
graphed by the impartial agents of the As3o
ctated Press. The majority thus obtained is
22205, which exact returns from the remain
Ing counties will probably increase to 25, 1000"
The World says that Gen. Hancock lost the
state Through the misconduct Of democratic
leaders In the cities OF New York and Brooklyn.
The returns make this absolutely certain. The
most hopeful republicans did not venture be
fore the election to estimate Gen. Hancock's ma.
Jortty In this city at less than $1,000 or Ia
Kings at less than 5000. These majorities
were conceded by all well-informed repub!i-
cans except those republicans whose informa-
ton was of strictly confidential nature, and
they relied upon tremendous gains In the 1nte-
rtor counties to carry the state. Their reliancs
is now shown to have been vain. There have
been no such gains in the interior as would have
of1et the majority which, according to all prece-
dent and ali probability, should have been cast
for General Hancock In these two Cities none
which would have Offset even the majority
which Mr.. Tilden received In these two cities
four years ago."
