4 SOLID SOUTH.

Eli Perkins, who has no competitor in his
particular line since the death of Ananias and
the subsistence of Jim Anderson and the rest
Of the Louisiana gang, has been heard from
through the columns of the Chicago Tribune.
He says he has been taking little run down
and has learned something in regard to the
Southern political situation. It is just posi-
BILE that he has been south of Mason q Dix
on's line. If he had not made the statement
people generally would believe that he had
been in that locality, but his positive asser-
ton to that effect throws a cloud of suspi-
cion upon all such statements.
Nevertheless Eli has made discovery
which he unfolds to the public. 1t makes no
difference that it has been made before; it is
a discovery just the same. 1t is
the fact that neither Grant nor
any other of the Republican
candidates for the Presidency can hope for
single electoral vote from any of the
Southern States. Frhe rebels,' says Eli,
will come in with 1873 solid votes for the
Democratic candidate, whoever he may be.
In this statement he has, by some strange
accident, stumbled upon the truth. "The
rebels'' against radical misgovernment are
nowhere stronger than at the South, and it
will be found when election day comes
around that there are great many rebels at
the North as we'll.
It is self-evident that the Republican
party will be obliged to look to the North
for It's whole support. At the South the
party has scarcely an organization. Even the
negroes vote the Democratic ticket to large
extent, for they are beginning to see the
hOllowness of the Republican pro
LESSONS of affection for them. They
we're deceived aud robbed By the
carpet-baggers, and have been sighted
and treated with contumely by the entire
party both North and South. They see that
their old masters are in reality their best
friends. The prejudice among them on ac-
count of color is not as potent as among the
people of the North. Fhey are granted
every educational advantage that the white
people enjoy, are allowed to own property
and to conduct business. In every respect
they are treated kindly and. considerably.
The fact that they do not enjoy social rela-
tions with the whites does not seem to trouble
them. They do not ask it, having enough
of their own class with whom to associate.
If Grant is nominated by the Republican
party there is no doubt but he will poll
large vote at the South. The negroes gen.
orally would support him. But in no State
save South Carolina are they in majority,
and their votes will go for nothing. In
South Carolina the Democratic administra-
ton has been benefcent, and nearly all the
more intelligent of the negroes are heartily
in favor of its maintenance. The best
course possible has been pursued by the
Southern people to gain the esteem and con-
fidence of the ex-slaves, and as a conse-
quence we need not fear but the whole
South will be solid for the nominee of the
Cincinnati convention, whether he shall be
selected from the East or the West.

The St. Paul & Manitoba branches.


The work of construction is said to be
progressing rapidly on the Morris & Browns
Valley branch of the ST. Paul & Manitoba
road and it is reported that further contracts
have been let which cover the whole of the
projected line of the branch of the road
from Crookston, which was built into Grand
Forks and graded twelve miles beyond last
year. Work is being resumed on this
branch and it has been generally I'M
dorstood. on authority of the officers of the
Manitoba company, that its destination was
Fort Totten or some other point on DEVILS
lake. But the present report is that the last
contract is for $50 miles (which would carry
the roadway fifty miles beyond DEVILS lake),
and in northwesterly direction down the
valley of the Red River of the North. We
give the report for what it is worth,
with strong doubts about the direction
of the branch having been changed from
west to northerly. In the absence of the
principal officers of the Manitoba company
yesterday afternoon, flat contradiction
could not be obtained. Another report has
been published to the effect that this COM
pany has contracted for building its Breckin-
ridge branch into Dakota, and it Isl possible
that the report referred to about the Crooks
ton & Grand Forks branch may have started
in some ones confounding the two. But
the contract for the Breckenridge branch,
which Gt has been officially stately
will run from Breckenridge to
Casselton on the Northern Pacific, has
not yet been let. 1t is probable,
however, that formal action will
be had in few days, that the contracts will
be let Immediately, (all the surveys and es-
Inmates being ready.) and that the work of
construction will be begun as early as men
and teams can be placed on the
work. The Sioux City Journal, by the way,
says, regarding the st. Paul &
Manitoba: "There is report in railroad
circles that this road is now backed, if not
controlled, by the Northwestern"

IT is q double surprise that any one would
nominate or any one consent to run against
Col. Griggs for Alderman from the Third
precinct of the Fourth Ward. When large
property owners, men of integrity and en-
terprise, will consent to serve the public in
the council, the fax payers ought to rejoice at
the opportunity. 1t is not encouraging
to good men to consent to sacrifice
their own private beuiness to accept the I'M
enviable labor of the City Council if faction,
even as small as that headed by Gates A.
johnson in Che Fourth ward, is to rise up in
opposition. Col. Griggs and Mr.. johnson
have both served in the City Council, and
Col. Griggs can we'll afford to compare
records either with Mr.. johnson or any of
his predecessors. 1t is no exaggeration
to say that Col. Griggs has done more for
his ward or precinct, has secured more i'm
provements, than all his predecessors COM
bined. The value of property has been
greatly enhanced by his efforts, and what he
has accomplished has literally trans
formed his section of the city. In
stead of meeting with opposition, he
ought to be unanimously endorsed. The ut
most rectitude and fidelity to public interests
has marked his course in the council, and
not faint of any description attaches to
him. II on sober second thought Mr.. John
son does not conclude to retire from the con-
test, he will be wofully disappointed next
Tuesday at the verdict of the people upon
the two administrations. He will be happier
if he does not insist upon the record being
made

iected to was that which allowed owners and
distilIers of spirits deposited in warehouses
to pay taxes on only the quantity of distilled
spirits contained in the casks or packages at
the time of withdrawal if a loss has occurred
through leakage. This section would af-
feet the revenue to the extent of $750,000.
Mr.. Conger spoke at some length in oppo-
sition to the provisions to which Mr.. Car
Isle had alluded, stating that they would re-
suit in taking from the treasury nearly
100000 year. He was surprised to see
gentlemen on the other side work themselves
into passion at the expenditures of the
government, and the over taxation which
rested on the people, and then in the same
breath become marvelously excited at the
taxation of whisky manufacturers.
Mr.. Garfield heartily praised the main
body of the bill, but announced his oppo-
sition to the provision which exempted dis
tillers from the payment of 5 per cent. in
terest on the tax after the spirits have re-
NAMED in warehouse for period exceed
ing one year. The House should do all it
could to retain the interest to the govern
ment. He opposed the leakage clause of To 9
bill, but trusted that after few amendments
should be adopted that the bill would be
passed.
Mr.. Barber supported the bill.
Dir. Buckner said that a tax on whisky was
tax on wheat and corn and rye. The tax
should be placed on the consumer of spirits
and not on the producer. The whole sys-
tenn of taxation was wrong. Incomes
should be taxed and thereby something done
to relieve the industries of the country.
Mr.. Willets, representing a district, as he
stated. which had paid $2,000,000 in revenue
during the past seventeen years, advocated
passage of the bill.
The bill was then read by sections for
amendment.
Mr.. Conger moved to amend the fourth
section of the bill, providing that in case of
non-payment of tax on any distilled spirits
within one year from date of the original
warehousing bond, interest shall accrue on
said tax at the rate of per cent. from the
expiration of said year until the tax shall be
paid. Rejected, 80 to 81.
Mr.. Conger did not raise the point no
quorum, the understanding being that he
would be allowed a yea and nay vote in the
House. After disposiDg of ten of the eight
cen sections of the bill the committee rose.
The House then took recess until 7:30,
the evening session to be for consideration
of the bill to establish municipal code for
the District of Columbia.

the members of that party both in the cleo
tons committee and on the floor of the SEN
ate, and on the final vote declaring him
entitled to a seat, every Democrat present
voted against him, for they knew that he had
no legal right to represent the people of
Louisiana, not having been chosen by leg
islature that had a legal right to an existence.
The bargain, if any such thing existed, was
wholly within the limits of the Republican
party. Kellogg was seated simply for the
reason that something had to be done to ap-
pease the wrath of the Republicans of
Louisiana because of Hayes recognition of
the Nichols government In that State. Mr..
Hayes had stolen the Presidency. There
was prospect of trouble in Louisiana
unless something was done to
quiet the Democrats. This something he
did by kicking Packard out of the guberna-
torial chair and seating Nichols. Then
something had to be done to quiet the Re-
publicans, and as a consequence Kellogg was
given seat in the Senate. The facts are
notorious. The disreputable attempt of Mr..
Blaine to connect the Democratic party
with so shameless combination of frauds
reflects little credit upon his integrity. He
failed to do so but succeeded in having him
self branded as liar.
The case of Senator Butler, to which Mr..
Blaine attempted to hken that of Kellogg,
was wholly dissimilar. Mr. Butler was
seated on prima facie case, as he had the
certificate of election from the legislature of
the State. There was no allegation of fraud
as to him or as to the illegality of the Iegis-
lature which elected him. Even the Repub-
licans, then in the majority in the Senate,
did not dare to question his right to seat
on any but personal grounds.
1t is to be feared that Mr.. Blaine, in his
attempt to keep himself prominently before
the country, has overshot the mark in this
instance, at least. He has never been noted
for his adherence to the truth in political
matters, but rather for his willingness to in
jure an opponent by any possible distortion
of circumstances. His attempt to make the
Democratic party responsible for the sins of
the Republicans will only hasten his political
demise, which is fast approaching.

In his speech before the Massachusetts
Republican convention ex-senator Boutwell,
is reported to have said:
We have four million of black fellow citizens
in the South who are as truly deprived OF their
political and civil rights as were the early
Christians that in the city of Rome herded IN
the sewers and catacombs till the barbarians of
the North came down and gave them freedom
of liberty and conscience at the point of the
bayonet.
1t will be news to many students of history
to learn that bayonets were in vogue in the
early days of the Christian era, and they will
thank Mr.. Boutwell, fervently for conveying
them the information.
