LET THE SOUTH REMAIN SOLID.

ouo OT Two VI our ldIlSuI
that the South was solid in the last
election. and express as their views
that had the South, stas matter of
policy" been divided in sentiment
during the recent contest, much good
might have been looked for through
the Northern republicans which now
will be withheld through spirit of
retaliation.
We can but believe that such ex-
pressions are due to the influence of
fear in the minds of timid partisans,
who fear a defeat to us means per-
secutiou by our enemies. The radicals
of the North, we have felt satisfied,
bear US of the South no good will, and
will do all in their power to prosecute
us, but we by no means regret. that the
people was unanimously and fearlessIy
expressed on the I'd inst, on the side OF
right against cause, the very founda-
ton of which IS the sand beach of
villainy, hatred and corruption.
We are still in favor of a solid South,
solid in support of principles that can
never die. Let her remain solid in
the prosecution of the necessary in
dustries, the material development
of her natural resources, let internal
dissentions be amicably settled and
good home officers chosen, and the day
is not far distant when the solid North,
(made solid through a spirit of hatred)
will sue for the cooperation of the
Solid South, which has grown solid
only in self Observation-Disclosures Sentinel
In the expectation of having a ma
jority in the senate, which the votes of
Gen. Malone, of Virginia, and Joe
Brown, of Georgia, will probably give
them, the republicans are already
talking of recognizing that body dur
ing the executive session, which will
commence on the fifth of March next.
If Malone and Brown, cast their for
tunes with the republicans, and the
temptation, in the shape of the entire
Federal patronage in their States, is
very great, that party will control the
committees and turn out the demo-
cratic officers and employees of the
senate. When the democrats had the
majority in March 1879, they had
neither the sense nor the courage to
make a clean sweep, and with one or
two exceptions the principal appoint
mentS were not such as should have
been made. Divers important and
lucrative positions were given to men
who We're never of the slightest service
to the party, and who never possessed
any capacity for usefulness. With
signal cowardice and faulty, major
ity of the places were left in the posses
sion of the old radical officials, and to-
day republicans draw more pay from
the senate than is given to democrats.
