Breakup of the Solid south.

The oyerw helming defeat OF the democracy
Will be followed by the disruption OF the solid
south, and it heed occasion no surprise II some

party together In The states OF Virginia and Ten
nesSee In Louisiana an Independent movement
was OrganiZe and l. has carried the city o; New
Orleans, and in Georgia the independents have
elected three congressman. During the canvass
Mr.. Aiken, member of Congress from South Car
DINA and candidate for re. election, declared
upon the stump that the south was inJuring its
self by It's tame submission TO the northern de-
mocracy; and the most influential democratic
paper IN Mississippi the Nicksburg Hero dD has
almost daily uttered the same sentiments, and
advised the south to consult its own interests
hereafter, and let the northern democrats take
care of themselves one OF the most popular
and prominent southern democrats now In
this CITY, says: ''If had my way. would cast
the is electoral votes OF the south for Gar
field and make the thing unanimous Our al
liarce with the northern democrats gives them
all the ha'- pence, and we get all the kicks. We
have done all we promised politically, but our
northern party associates have sold Us out or
betrayed us. The northern democrats always
consult their interest, and am In favor now OF
the south consulting hers" This feeling Is not
confined TO any one, or TO few OF the southern
democrats but seems to be general. They say
that in the six years the democrats have had
the House, they have given the south nothing;
that when an appropriation for that section is
asked, the northern democrats say, "for Gods
sake don't, or you'll ruin u.s." There is scarcely
I. southern state in which there are not ques-
tons OF state policy In which the people differ
more or less, but the united efforts OF demo-
cratic leaders, combined with the rose colore1
promises OF national victory, succeeded in
keeping these questions in the background Ia
the late canvass, with the exception noted.
Now, the dissatisfaction existing In the south
with the course OF the national or northern de-
mocracy. added TO the interest On local Ques-
lions. and the patent fact that nothing bat de-
feat follows solid south, will oreak the bonds
that have kept those states together politically

women aud children were overspread
