THE SGGTH'S MISTAKE.

10 those OF the North in point Of
| methodizing. The reason OF
! ibis is what we are unable to
find oat. The Yankees. are pro
verbally notorious for skill and
farsightedness. La every enter
prise in which they embark, dis
erection and calculation enter.
Before they try TO build, they
count the COST La point Of
intellect, we Of the South are
equal to orr brethren Of tue
North; but when it comes to
shrewdness and fat-seeing dis
erection, we are decidedly ia the
background. This fact is eE-
emplihed both III our commercial
and political Ingenuity. We Of the
South act from impulse; our
Northern friends, from the keen
est kind of cautious reasoning.
The Southern people undertake
an enterprise with q 1otermjna-
ton to succeed, believing that
success will reward their efforts;
the Northern people undertake
an enterprise for the sake OF
policy, realizing the fact that
there must be a recompense fol
exertion = that the "laborer is
worthy Of his hire" Hence the
superior thrift SO paipably dis
cernable among the people OF
the North. The closest kind OF
reckoning precedes the every
act Of both politicians and fnan-
ciers ia the North.
The South should learn a val
liable lesson from our friends Of
the North. In this article we
shall confne ourself to an appeal
to the people of this Congress
sional District to initiate the
people of the North for one time
in one respect. In the North,
Congressman are not snapped
at the expiration Of every term
Of office. In the first place, good
judgment is exercised in the Sc
lection of those officials, and
if they prove to be tue and
worthy of the confidence re-
posed in them, the people ex
press their appreciation of them
by retaining them in the same
position. Hence, the Congress
men of the United States from
the North WELD an influence in
the national legislative halls Of
this country far superior to those
of Southern Congressman. And
the reason is just that which we
have stated. It is not for any
Want Of talent among the mem
bers from the Sou b. In that
respect, they are the peers OF
any men On the American Con
tinent. But the difficulty exists
in the simple truth that our
Congressman do not hold their
positions long enough to famil-
iarize themselves with the in
Vulnerable intricacies which at
tend the mode of modern legis-
lation. A Congressman is elected
from some Southern district, sent
to Washington, performs his
duties for two years, or six years,
as the case may be, and at the
expiration Of his term another
bigoted, self-conceited chap who
claims allegiance to the same
political party, comes up and
wants to take the position of a
man who has, in every respect,
discharged faithfully and assidu-
ously the labors devolving upon
him. And strange to say, the
people of the South give ear to
the entreaties and appeals of the
new aspirant, and, nine times in
ten, send q strange man to the
national capital to take the place
of one who is familiar with the
whole machinery Of the Govern

The u. p. and X. p. Consolidation.

New York, Jan. 20.-The Times says
the consolidation of the Union Pacific
and Kansas Pacific has been fully con-
6rmed. The proposition came orIgi-
nally from Gould. The details will be
made public Thursday. The general
terms of the agreement are, however,
as follows: The capital stock of the
joint line is to stand in value the same
as at present. The Union Pacific is to
issue S9,6s9, $50 worth of new stock, to
take up the stock of the Kansas Pacific
company, which is to be delivered at
the ruling market rate of the Union
Pacific stock and cancelled. Gould
owns about five-sevenths of the entire
capital of the Kansas Pacific. The
mortgages now existing on both roads
are to remain untouched. A complica-
tion that is looked upon as probable to
ensue from the consolidation is the
eventual complete monopoly of trans
continental business by Gould. 1t is
believed on the streets that he has re-
Gently been an extensive purchaser ol
Panama railroad stock. 1t is also
known that the current arrangement
between the Union Pacific and Pacific
mail steamship company is only tenn.
porary one.

Objectionable charges against Gen. II.

THE UTE INvEsTIcArroN.
Somo Interesting Testimony on the
Subject.

Chicago, Jan. 20.-A special from
Washington to the Times says: The
investigation into the Ute outbreak was
resumed to-day by the honse committee
on Indian affairs. The meetings of the
committee are held with closed doors.
Gen. Clinton B. Fisk and Commission
er Hayt, Of the Indian bureau, were ex-
amined. Gen. Fisk testified that in his
opinion the outbreak was attributable
to several causes of irritation which
have been operating upon the Utes for
some years. Among these causes he
enumerates the following: That the
Indians were cheated out of portion
of their lands under the Brunot treaty;
the failure of the government to pay
annually the s25, 200 which they were
entitled to under that treaty; the fail
ure to deliver supplies from 1876 to
1878. forbidding the sale of arms and
ammunition on the White river agency
reservation, which compelled the Indi-
ans to go off the reservation and get
ammunition with which to kill game;
injudicious conduct of agent Meeker,
who, Gen. Fisk says, was as unfit for
the office as man could be, to deal
with Indians; Meeker's threats to bring
troops, and the fact that the troops
were actually advancing.

PINE TREE STATE.
AND ITS LEGISLATIVE BODIES.
No Introduction OF bills. Although
Republicans and Fusionists
Hold Daily Sessions
Latest From Maine

Augusta, Jan. 20.-The legislature
in session at the state house declares
the existence of the fusion legislature
is wholly without authority, and ordered
inquiry whether legislation is necessary
to impose punishment for the abstrac-
tion of the state records and other
property.
Both branches adopted resolutions
setting forth that the legislature having
organized according to the supreme
court decision, that they proceed to
regular state business, and giving notice
that any other bodies of men claiming
to be the senate and house of Maine are
wholly without right of authority to act,
and are proceeding in violation of the
constitution and laws of Maine.
The machinists worked all night on
the safe in the secretary's Office and
finally opened it. There were no valu-
able papers in it, nor the seal OF state
or any of the official retdrns. 1t is con-
jectured that the returns have been
destroyed.
Augusta, Jan. 20.--The fusionist
senate and house were called to order at
Is o'clock, in Union hall, on Water
street
In the honse, Dickey, of Fort Kent,
moved that the committee appointed ON
Saturday to recommend course of ac-
tion be instructed to report also on the
proceedings of yesterday at p. m. to-
day. He urged all the members to
stand firm, as he had confidence that
this body would be recognized as the
legal legislature of Maine by the courts
as well as by congress. In fact, he said,
he had assurance to this effect.
DIR. Bradbury said he did not quite
like the attitude of some of his fellow
members who did not seem to have that
determination and steadfastness neces-
sary for carrying the cause to a success
full end. He had firm faith that an au-
thority higher than thepartizan supreme
court would recognize this as the legal
legislature, and he urged the appoint
ment of committees and the proceeding
to regular business, just as if the usurp-
ing party had not prevented the meeting
in the place in which this body was en-
titled to sit ard meet. He read a tele-
gram from friends in Oxford, urging
the fusionists to stand firm, recognizing
no usurping legislature, to stand by the
legal governor, Smith, and the money
would be ready to sustain them to the
last.
Boston, Jan. 20.--A special from
Augusta says the fusionists will take
no step to get possession of the state
house. They will hold sessions in Union
hall for the present. Their committee
on legality of the legislature is now in
session. The fusionists have some of
their best lawyers here, but there is
notable absence of the conservative ele-
ment.
Ellis, of the fusion senate, ,delared to-
day that member of the state house
legislature had made proposition to
unite upon basis of dividing the state
offices. He did not give the name of
the party making the proposition.
There is no such feeling on the part Of
the republicans.

Thurman, Jones (of Florida), and
others. Appropriate resolutions were
adopted. The subscriptions exceeded
$1,000. Letters were read from Sec
retary Sherman, Senators Logan, Fer.
ry, and Davis (of Illinois), regretting
their inability to lie present.
