Gen. w. Y. G. Humes, who was a
Major General in the Confederate
army and is now a resident of Men,

Tenn, made the following most SEN
sible and patriotic references to the
relative positions of the South and Of
the Union following the War:
"No fact exists in the past or the
present, no reason appears in the fu-

people of the South and the colored
people of the South. On the contra

present and auspicious hopes in the

ish only kindly Ceilings toward each

More than two hundred years ago
slavery was introduced into the
United States, and for generations it
had formed one of the hereditary in
stItutions of the South. A strong at
tachment had grown up between the
owners and the owned. This is not
the place nor the time to argue the
truth of this position; but a single
fact proves it overwhelmingly, and

for Mrs. Brown she lived to guide the foot

Hon. D. w. Voorhees, said to a
prominent Republican of this city in
Washington last spring: "When 1
look across this Chamber and see
Senator Bruce, the most dignified
member of the Senate, l am ashamed
OF my record on the slavery ques-
tion." Thus one by one the delusions
which slavery implanted IN the minds
of men are being eradicated by the
Negro himself under the genial in
fuence of freedom.

There are numerous farms on which cram
berries could be easily grown. The soil best
adapted is low, moist land, suitably drained,
so that the water will be from twelve to
eighteen inches under ground. They will
grow on moderately damp soil that can be
plowed or cultivated. They will do well
OH dry sand or clay soil or on the borders of
streams or ditches as the plant draws its
nourishment from air and water; light
soil, or peat covered with two or three
inches of sand is the best adapted to their
culture. In natural situations the cranberry

1t is reported on good authority
that the administration will throw
its influence in favor of General Ma
hone and the Readjusters in Virginia
this fall. We hope the report is true
The movement which General Ma
hone represents deserves encourage
ment and success. The colored peo-
pie of Virginia should vote with the
Readjusters and overthrow the Bour-
bon element. The success of this
movement in Virginia means break

The deadlock in the New York

The deadlock in the New York
Legislature continues. If the "half-
breeds" have sand, as we have reason
to believe, Conkling and Platt can
never be returned. The proper thing
for the New York Republicans to do
is to elect two men who will be ex-
ponents of the principles of the Re-
publican party, and not merely of a
municipal machine whose vital prin-
ciple is official pap. Senator Conk-
llng's attempt to embrOil the Repub-
lican party of the country in a per-

age in New York State has been a
miserable failure. The people are
satisfied with General Garfield's ad-
ministration, and they will sustain
him in all efforts that tend to the
common good.

Singular how opinions vary as to what
constitutes feminine lovelinessl Jones says
that there is one thing about which he and
his wife can never agreo. When he says a
woman is homely, Mrs. Jones always sees
something interesting about her; and when
he speaks of another as pretty, his helpmats
will inevitably declare that she can not for
her part see where peoples eyes are.
Greater philosophers than Jones have pom
dered over this same problem during their
whole lives and died at last, leaving it un-
solved.
