The lapse of time has been sufficient to abate
the passions and animosites of the war yet the
radical camor and abuse of the Southern people
the argument of the bloody shirt, is as rife and
vocferously proclaimed as it the first year
after the war. American Register.
This is very gross niisstatement which
we are surprised to find in journal of
the ability and protested fairness of the
Register. The bloody shirt was laid
away long ago with the insignia Of the
ku klux; and, speaking for this State
and section we can say that abuse of the
Southern people is now unknown. None
but the wilfully blind can fail to see the
evidences OF growing flaternal feeling
between the two sections. Northern cap
ital is aiding the South to rebuild its
shattered fortunes. Georgia's industrial
exhibition now open in Atlanta is the
outcome of the suggestions of NIassa-
chusetts man, and the leading spirit of
its managers is native of this State. 4
regiment of Connecticut militia has Just
had royal welcome in Charleston, S. c.,
and of late years visiting military from
Maryland, Georgia and Louisiana have
been handsomely entertained in Massa-
chusetts. Such statements as those put
forth by the Register are not only untrue
but are calculated to bring about the very
thing it deprecates, the perpetuation of
sectional animOsity.

and raised a family of eight to men and women,
from whom emanated twenty two grand children

father belonged to a family of twelve children,
eleven of whom married, and all but one raised
large families. In September the writer on visit

The letter by Mr. Blaine regarding The position
of the United States on the Panama Canal is re-
cevng universal commentator. Mr. George
William Curtis IN Harper's W eekly says:
"The letter is temperate and digni6ed docu-
ment, stating our position with blended spirit and
courtesy and decision. 1t is capitally adapted to
meet any such proposition as a joint European
protectorate, had it been advanced. But whether
the project was merely tentative rumor or de
sign seriously entertained, the letter has sutced to
arrest it, and it is another illustration of the skill
and ability with which Mr. Blaine has managed
the department confided to him He has what
may be called the American instinct, an essential
quality in our Foreign Secretary yet restrained in
its official expression by an equally American tact
and good sense"
