The New South.

The census will show that the South
has recuperated remarkably within the
last decade in all the evidences Of
material prosperity.
The upbuilding Of the South had to
begin from the very foundation. Barns,
dwellings and fences had to be rebuilt !;
exhausted soils had to be enriched,
farming tools and machinery had TO be
obtained, and stock of all kinds had to
be purchased This work was done 81
lently, but it was well done To-day
the South i richer in all things neces-
sarv TO great production than it has
been at any time before in all Of its
history. There Is much yet to be done,
but what under adverse circums tances
has been accomplished insures years of
continued prosperity for the Southern
States. Especially noticeable has been
the rapid growth Of Southern manutac-
turing enterprises. This has come about
in the natural order Of things, and it Is
a strong and healthful growth. The
South makes first what it needs most
and can save most in making, and labor
and capital have not been diverted from
their legitimate channels into artificial
Dnes by the protective tariff. As the
south has to compete with subsidized
New England it has virtually no pro
ection. The tariff Injuries it in every
way, enhancing the cost Of living, of
new materials and machinery, and
secures to us no comparative advanta
yes The South should now see that
he tariff is reduced to a revenue basis.

TIE Northern Republican papers
have lugged the reputation question
into the canvass They are dwelling
loud and long upon the alleged repu-

were to large extent created by the
fraudulent carpet-bag governments

hypocritical organs take care TO avoid
speaking of the reputation by the Re

The Influx of Gold.

During the first three weeks of Au-
gust, 1854, 800 in foreign gold ar
rived at the New York Assay Office
from Europe, and, in addition to this
amount, there is now over $4,000, 900
more on the way, to arrive the present
week. This is encouraging, but it is
far from verifying the preditions of the
anti-silver seers, when the bill for re
establishing silver as a money metal,
was pending. They said that when
that fact was accomplished, gold, SO far
from coming TO this country, would take
the wings of the morning and fee away.

Hsld Without Bail.

The steamer Tidal Wave went into Has
tings. Mimi, Wednesday morning, and
began discharging a large amount oil
freight. : quarrel arose between the mate,
John Glen, and couple of rousta bouts.
when the mate seized club, knocked both
men down, and then. it is charged. kicked
one of them IN the head several times
when he was down. There was consider
cradle excitement in the town over the
affair when the man was taken off the boat
sebseless. The mayor issued a warrant
for the arrest of Glen. but he could not be
found, and the steamer left for st, Paul
Glenn was arrested as soon as she landed,
the chief of the Hastings police having ar
rived there. Then it appeared. according
to the Pioneer Press. that the injured
rooster and his partner had broken into a
barrel Of whisky, got tight, became ungov-
ernable, and malicious towards other rooss
tiers. But the man was so seriously in
jured that bail for the mate was refused
and he was locked up for the night Capt
Rhodes of the Tidal Wave then lodged
complaint against the injured man and his
mate for breaking cargo, which is a peni-
Tertiary offense. The captain secuted the
report that the man was seriously injur-
ed, and told the reporters that the mate
only used little cane, and that when he
hit the man the fellow ran off the boat and
made up the street like deer. But it is
pretty certain that he WIS badly hurt
somehow-apd. may be. it was by his run
ming! The participants of the affair are
well known among the steamboatmen in
Davenport.

Many of the Free Masons i'm Davenport
will remember the excited debates in the
Grand Lodge of Iowa. during its sessions
in that city in 1871, Y and '73, over the
proposal to establish Home for the wild
ows and children Of Masons. The scheme
had several aba advocates, andlvery earn
est oppopents-and the year last named,
the report of the committee on the SUBJ
ject. which was very favorable to the
Home. was laid upon the table, after
very bitter controversy over it. And the
matter has not been brought before the
Grand Lodge since.
Now, it appears, the project is to be re-
vived A Masonic convention was held 10
Dubuque for the purpose OF resurrectlng
it, There is $I9,65O in the hands OF the
Grand Treasurer Invested in u, 5, bonds,
and the Masons at this meeting, most Of
whom belong to Dubuque lodges, propose
that it be devoted to the founding OF an
asylum for the INDECENT widows and chill
dren of Masons. The Herald says that
the meeting almost unanimously agreed
that the subject be referred to the officers
of the Grand Lodge who will be asked &c
consent that the Dubuque lodges may send
circulars to the other lodges, asking them
to instruct their delegates in the Grand
Lodge to vote in favor of the project al
