HOW nR. BAYARp TAKES IT.

A representative Of the Herald
met Senator Bayard soon after the
action of the Republican caucus be-
came known. He appeared 10 20
wsy disconnected by the action Of
the Republicans. lie ssid that plac-
ed in she position OF the Democratic
majority was at the opening of the
Senate, it would have been derelict
to duty had it failed to comply with
the law at once end elect an officer
to fill the existing gap in the govern
ment. Something higher than a
mere presiding officer to go through
the form of putting motions and de-
Gliding parliamentary points was then
the question. In accepting the pc
sition which be by no means sought
or desired for be had other duties
requiring his attention = hs did it as
the soldier selected for a forlorn
hope who marches out with death
almost ine vitable and wounds GER
tain. He felt il a duty that be
owed to accept the position and was
prompted by no ambitious aspira>
tons. He spoke of Senator Davis
in the highest terms as an upright,
honorable man of great attainments.
The only criticism he INDUCED in
was, that. to be perfectly consistent
Senator Davis, if intending to occu-
py the position he now does, should
when the vote was taken on Mons
day, have voted against him and
thus indicated his antagonism to his
selection for the position Mr.. By
ard said he would feel no personal
regret, but rather feeling of relief,
for, under the existing circumstaD-
ces, the office was one which SEN
sitive man might well feel delica,
cy in occupying.

THE SOUTH.

Ia agricultural and mineral re-
sources the South exceeds Great
Britain and France combined, aud,
surely, if there is a region on the
habitable globe on which Nature, in
the collocation and accumulation of
her agricultural, mineral manufac-
turing and commercial wealth and
capabilities has smiled benignantly,
and deplt out her bounties with
broad and generous bands. it is on
this section. In the all important
matter of climate the South can
challenge comparison with the same
ATTITUDES in either hemisphere, while
her native adaptation for special pro-
duet ons- cotton, rice, tobacco and
sugar marks her for unrivaled opus
lence. Her manufacturing indus
tries, which are just coming into nos
tice, will find an iuexhaustible store
of raw material to supply their oPer>
atoms and sure return for the la
Dor expened that will rapidly multi
ply their capacity. Moreover, lib
eral ideas of the worth and wealth
of labor are advancing, and there is
heroic acceptance Of the fac! that
with her old things have forever
passed away. Thus the south seems
destined to have no limit to her pro
ductiveness but the energy of her
people, no bounds to her manufac>
turing Industries but the possibilities
of profitable investment Nea0 Of-

truly, tersely and comprehensively
replies The Democratic party

be confined to express grants of the
Constitution or powers incident
thereto. Within this sphere it can
act without question, but all it's pow

simiIates the American Government
to that of England, which the fran
ers of our own discarded when indi
pendence WAS achieved, the main
difference being only as to the mode
in which rulers are provided. The
Democratic theory is that govern.

being the servant, not master, of the
people. The Republicans have a
right to cherish theirs, but Demo
