TO play North against South.
For awhile prescription and per-
sccution was employed to band
the South together in bonds of
sympathy. The negro vote came
near spelling this game. The
solid front was broken, three
States slipped from the "bull-
dozers." IIah! said the stall
warts, this Will never do. If the
South breaks up the North may
follow suit. IN 1876 a bargain
was made, in which the Repub-
licans scored two points. They
seated Hayes in Iilden's chair,
and they made the South solid
again by delivering back the
three States into the hands of
the Democracy. And then came
the whine, impudent in view Of
this bargain, of a solid South.
The burden of the wall was, the
South is unrepentant, that they
hate the Union. This pretence
was used to inflame the North
and engender bad feeling. Our
campaigns have been, on the part
of the Republicans, appeals to
the prejudices of the North by
systematic Misrepresentation OF
the loyalty of the South. All
receptions are demoralizing and
in these particular instances de-
stroy the harmony and peace Of
the whole country. Every COM
munity at the North has an in
terest in this matter. If neigh
Dor is to be set against neighbor
every year,as a refreshing change
let us have some live issue. On
the floors Of Congress the rebel
brigadiers were the most stall
wart foes Of subsidies. As MEM
bers of the appropriation com
mittee they pruned unsparingly.
indeed, SO much did they cut
away the Republican department
estimates that the cry went forth
that the rebels in despair were
trying to destroy the govern
ment by starvation. Now the
party of The administration, how
ever, claim the credit of. the
prosperity Of the country. Rev
erent Democrats more reasona-
bly, ascribe it TO providence, who
blessed us with bounteous har-
vests, heavy expectations and
large immigration. Supplement
tai TO the splendid agricultural
advantages came in the wise
Democratic economy, to which
the rebel brigadiers largely con-
tributcd. Economy is wealth
and the Democratic party form.

A Promising Experiment.

{. :
The new colony at Rugby, in
East Tennessee, is one of the
most promising experiments in
corporation that has yet been
tried in this country. 1t started
on a basis of common sense,
earnestness and industry, with
English pluck and American en-
terpl'ise, and every right person
will say a cordial amen to the
prayer offered yesterday for It's
success. The young of England
and America owe much to Mr..

will be increased if this new en-
terprise of his shall point the
way to the practical realization
of those principles of manly
Christian citizenship which he
taught in, his well-read books.

Married Women's Rights in Missis-

The new code in Mississippi

ried women, and they are now
free and equal in every respect
to their husbands. 1t is the
most radical legislation yet had
OH the subject:
SECTION I,l67. The common law, as to
the disabilities of married women, its effect
on the rights of property Of tile wife, is to-
tally abrOga1ed, and marriage shall not be
held to impose any disability or incapacity

or disposition of property Of any sort, or as
TO her capacity ~ make contracts, and do
all acts in references 10 property which she
could lawfully do if she was not married;
hut every woman now married, or hereafter
to be married, shall have the same capacity
10 acquire, hold, manage, control, u>e, en-
Joy, and dispose of all properly, real and
personal, in possession or expectance, and
10 make any contract in reference TO il, and

incident thereto, as If she was not married.

will and testament, in the same manner as
if she was not married.

eral laws to these radical chan
ges. Husband and wife inner

that if there be no children, in
case of such a dissent, the dis

estate, if he OF she has no estate

ticnt has property of his on her
own equal to one-fffh of what
he, or she wonld be, entitled to

To End Sectionalism.

The most unpleasant feature
Of, our politics is the constant
Yclamor about rebels. AT the
present day there are no rebels,
or if there are the Republican
party is in fault for ending the
war until they were put down.
This is an awkward dilemma.
Good craftsmanship is called in
to smooth the irritation of civil
conflicts. If at the end of fif-
teen years there is alarming dis
content, the war was ended too
soon, or a system of petty nag
ging has taken place of gener-
Gus craftsmanship. This is just
how If is. The Republican lea
ders cumingly surveyed the sit
uasion. At the South they OBJ
served mortified pride. There
fore let us exasperate its peo-
pie with unpleasant reminders.
At the North they perceive the
natural grief for the loss of hus-
, bands, sons and brothers, there
fore, said they, we win intensity
the sorrow and make il mchris-
tian hatred, by daily reeollec-
tions. These goddess Republic

lions of religion to forgive enc
