receht parlisau speecu VI MT. Eyre, Oh
Maine, in the senate, in which he INDUCED
in TRADE Of abuse and malevolence toward
thu south, and late editorial of ex- Secretary
Carl Schurz in his paper, the st. Louis
Westliche Post, discussing in philosophical
way the solid south, says:
What the stalwart republicans assume as
vantage ground, from which to make attacks
which only appear 70 be aimed at the solid
south, bu. which are really intended to keep
the south solid, all candid and thoughtful
public men accept as truth. The country
can receive nothing but advantage from the
division of the southern voters on some other
than the race or color line. Such men as
Senators Lamar and Hampton and Bsyard
are quite as strongly in favor Of the disinle-
grafton Of the south as Mr.. Schurz can be,
All men, in fact, who love their country
better than their party will hail the day
when there shall be two parties in the south,
each with its share of the wealth and intelli-
gence of the community. Very few outside
of the stalwart republicans wish otherwise.
They still cling to the belief that the solid
south keeps them in power. They will wake
up some day to realize that they have made
a fatal mistake. The astute among the
democratic politicians, who are moved like
the stalwart republicans, by purely parrish
considerations, have come to see that III
solid south is a load which weighs upop
them. 1t is burden under which the
party stsggers. 1t is recognized, however,
by intelligent and honest mon that the solid
south cannot be successfully broken up by
questionable means. There have been two
parties there since the war. One of them
was the party of ignorance and corruption
upheld by federal arms, and the world knows
the terrible result.

leaving its keen cut behind, is on deck with
the following:
In the senate the other day, when that
Ireposterous old mutf, Senator Burnside,
who has secured a national reputation on
pair of fluffy mutton.chop whiskers, flew of
the handle and treated Senator Butler with
extreme impudence, the gentleman from
South Carolina did not rave like wild boar,
MS is the senatorial custom. lie waited quietly
until the show WAS over and then sont word
to the funny old man from Rhode Island that
he would be expected to "nake good" Us
the sporting people have it. The hero of
Fredericksburg hastily reviewed the situation
ard then sat down and dropped Mr.. Butler
as sweet an apology as was ever penned. If
MIR. Butler were inclined to annoy the old
gentleman, he would have copies of this
recsntstion printed and tackled up on the
church doors throughout ali Rhode leland.
The New York Evening Express, referring
to the senatorial deadlock, wants to know il
it is n political crowbar being used by the
republicans, and says:
The excuse the republicans make for re-
iusing to confirm the presidents appoint.
mrnts until they have elected clerk aud
doorkeeper, aud filled all the small offices in
the senate, is that they want "to break up the
solid south" All the southern states are
democratic, as all the New England states are
republican. Fourilfths of all of the people
of the south, and three. quarters OF its inlelli
gence and education, are democratic. Most
OF the property is owned by democratic
citizens, who are recovering from tho Losses
and devastation of the war, rebuilding the
waste places, paying the enormous fraudulent
debts If carpet bag contracting, establishing
schools for oil children, introducing ma.
cbinery, and trade, and arts, and new indus
tries. inviting immigration from all sections
OF the union and Europe, and creating new
and stable prosperity. But because they are
democrats the republicans take occasion to
misrepresent and malign them, and now
propose TO use the resources OF the federal
government to change the politics of tho
southern states.

itself Of the following besutiful eulogy:
