A SERIOUS CeHPLANT. Mr.. Lc-
than, the Scotchman wl:o has come
to Orangeburg says that immigrants
desiring to come South are treated
with great indifference at New York
and are thereby, doubtless, diverted
from this course. This is e,ious
matter, considering the Importance
ofthe flow of immigration in his di-

matter.

Heal the Breach.
,eryille Reporter.l

SOmerYille Hep0rter.J
The Memphis LEDGER, which has
been the leading organ of low tax
democracy in the stata, expresses a
wish that the breach between the fac
tions be healed. As representative
of the other wing of the party we
heartily respond SO mote it be. The
war was begun without reason or pur-
pose. and has we'll nigh proved the
truth of the scriptural adage that a
house divided against itself cannot
stand. A division within the demo-
cratic party in Tennessee simply
means that the state is to be turned
over to the republicans, and promises
no victory for either of the warning
clements. Let the breach be healed
and the animosities cDgendered by the
past be forgotten.

PINE BLUFF, February 2,-Maior
Chas. T. Newman, for many years an
Arkansas editor, and for the last ten
years editor of the Pine Bluff Press,
has sold his interest in the same and
retired from the paper. Major New
man has been in Arkansas for more
than twenty years, and was a gallant
officer in the Confederate army. The
people of Pine Bluff sincerely regret
his severance from the Press and his
departure. He leaves in few days,
and will not probably remain in the
state.
