population and high civilization, how
can we hope to escape the governmental
forms which everywhere practically
eyerywhere) accompany that civilization.
Eyer.increasing Capitalization being q
fixed fact, and the third term being fact
equally fixed, the paramount duty of the
South not less to the whole country than
to itself is so to act as not to increase
Grants animosity, and in any event,
whether Grant live or die, to shape It's
course in such a manner as to escape if
possible that horrible fate which
threatens to make, and indeed has
already made, her "the Ireland of Amer
ica."
That Grant will play the part of Octa-
yius Cesar and usher in the Augustan
age is not to be expected. He is not q
man of culture. That risks, and per-
haps great risks, are to be run every one
will admit. But we of the South are
tired of defeat under the Democratic
banner. Now when that banner, go
bravely and so disastrously borne, prom
ises nothing but defeat, surely the South
should be pardoned if she desires and
makes profound change in her policy.
It is not desertion it is surrender for the
sake of existence, like that at Appomat-
tox. This view of the matter may not
meet general acceptance, but permit me
in closing to say, with Cato's persistence,
the paramount duty of the South itself
and to the whole country is not to permit
itself to remain the ireland of Ameri-
Ca" At any cost, at all hazards, that is
to be avoided.

force of your arguments, but they do not
shake nv conclusions. That Grant will
be the next President is as sure as be
lives. That he will attempt the psnto-
mime of emperor there is no reason to
fear. His election will simply emphasize
the fact that the nation has passed BY
natural lew into more stable and CEN
tralized form thus sharing the fate OF
all the republics that have preceded it.
Let us accept the inevitable. AS for the
risk, we have got to take it whether or
no. Better take it with manly cheerful

will not help the matter.

THE ORGANIZATION OF THE HOUSE.
AUGUSTA, Me-, January.
In the House Assistant Clerk Gibbs pro-
ceeded to call the certified roll of MEM
bers. Mr.. Hale took the floor and claim
ed that certain elected members of the
House from the cities are not on the roll
and moved that they be included. This
led to lengthy speech from MIR. Hale
and objections from the other side. Mr..
Hale was ruled out of order by the as
sistant clerk who refused to put his mo-
ton, whereupon the Republicans with
drew from further participation in the
proceedings.
A message was then sent to the Gov
ernor and Council stating that a quorum
of members of the House was present and
ready to be qualified.
Great excitement prevailed during Mr.
Hale's remarks, and uproarious applause
| followed. After the notification to the
Governor that quorum was present, the
Governor appeared and proceeded to
qualify the members. He subsequently
announced that seventy-six members,
being quorum, had taken the necessary
oaths and were the regularly and duly
constituted House of Representatives.
This announcement was received with
wild applause from the outside. Gov
Garcelon said that he now put into theil
bands the opinion of the Supreme
| Court as we'll as the petition Of gentle
men from certain cities claiming seats
and invoked their careful consideration
for the same. Three cheers were giver
for Governor Garcelon, followed by pro
