The Lynchburg Way -Adua4ece. paper Of
considerable influence in the South, and Of
course Democratic, is not very hopeful in its
outlook at the results of the election. It
already foresees that the people OF the North
are bound to "persist in the support of Rad
icalism and elect Garfield" Willie crediting
the Aduance with very good sense and judg-
1nent In its view OF the situation, we are at
the same time disposed to.crediti it with very
Door sense and. bad judgment in its sugges-
ton OF remedy which, to use homeIy old
saw, is biting the nose off to spite the face,
The remedy is the old one in q new form,
secession; but not a political secession, for
the South has tried that once to its hearts
content. 1t advocates commercial secession,
IN other words. non-intercourse In trade. To
accomplish this, it recommends t*the en-
coufagement and the establishment of all
kinds Of manufacturing in the South,
direct trade with foreign nations
from every Southern port, the building OF
Southern ships and the encourage
ment Of Southern mining" And then, in the
true Southern vein, it adds: 1.-The land is
wide enough for both. We pay, and will con-
tlnue to pay, more than our full share of the
revenue. but we must be equal OF separate.''
The absurdity of this claim has been shown
more than once. It is very hard to get over
official figures, and these figures show that
the customs duties paid by the thirteen
southernmost States for the year ending June
80, 1873, were S2,145, SOS, while the amount
paid by all the States was s1s7, ,250, ,o4s. The
total receipts Of internal revenue in the
United States for the year ending June 80,
lsso, were S1l6,s4S.2 .22l, Of which the South |
S2o, ,ss2 $50, and 95 per cent OF the
after amount was from spirits and tobacco.

IT is officially announced that 165 persons
were killed in the recent colliery explosion at
Seaham. England. This is q deplorabie loss Of
life, and there is not the least doubt that the nc
cident would never have occurred had the
nfne-owners employed competent engineers
and otherwise taken adequate precautions. It
is probable that the widows and next of kin OF
the dead miners will bring action for damages
under the new Employers Liability act, and the
trial will show where the blame properly be-
longs, and will result, it is to be earnestly
hoped. in tnulcting the owners in heavy dam
ages. If such be the case, mine accidents will
become less frequent, and the "hell-holes" will
contain fewer widows and orphans.

cfiests, and the reverend gentlemen will be
looked after for the future, and any display of

Practice, Of illicit distillation, the refuse
to pay. revenue, and the refusal t
help prosecute moonshiners were no
common In almost every part OF that section
Still If the election of Garfield Is going t
awaken the South to the necessity OF" dotnl
something, is going to stimulate Southern
lazincss into activity and will help to develop
Southern manufactures, mining, and trade
We do not exactly see how the Aduance cal
regard it in the Hghtof calamity. We have
little faith, however; that nfr. Garfe]d's elec
| ton will have any such efeotup the South
| and, vtce versa, there is every reason to sup
pose that the election of Hancock will so de
range the existing conditions Of trade and
commerce that North and South both will be
plunged into commercial disaster. II the
Southern condition is to be improved, the rer
sponstbility rests with the South, irrespect-
i've of the election Of any man, and the
only connection it has with the election
OF Mr.. Garfield is that such result would
render 1t possible, II they have the dlsposi~
tion to make the effort, while the election OF
Hancock will put bar to progress in any
direction. Non-intercourse in trade is the
.veriest nonsense. IT the South wants to de-
velop it's resources and improve Its condition,
it must go to work. It must substitute per-
sonal activity for personal lazlness. It must
quit loating and bulldozing and go to plow-
Ing aud hammering. 1t must call upon the
North for help and capital, and to make its
call successful it must cultivate anicable re-
1ations with the North and treat Northern
men with a spirit of fairness and courtesy,
It has already practiced political and social
non-tntercourse with the North for
years, and has only damaged ITSELF II
now 1t wants to complete the work
Of self-destructfon 1t has only to
add non intercourse in trade. The North
stands ready with Its energy, its enterprise.
its industrial improvements, and its capital
to help the South at any time 1t is ready to
be helped. and it can signify such willingness
by extending hand Of courtesy across the
border and agreeing to cease shooting, bull
doing, and ostracizing those who are ready
to help them, because they don't happen to
share the same political views. Non-inter-
course in trade Is not what the South wants
50 much as intercourse with the North, and
as it can best secure that intercourse with
Gen. Garfield rs President, it should pray
for Republican triumph, and then, kicking
out the Bourbon demagogs who are keeping
1t in continual trouble, make itself equal
with the North in energy and enterprise and
develop healthy competition with us in
trade and revenue. AS these results can be
secured with Gen. Garfield for President, and |
,a4not with Gen. Hancock for President, the |
Adudzce, to be logical, should support the |
former. :. |
