him. He had been elected as an hon.

integrity they were amazed. A dele
gate was appointed to go down to Lam
sing and hear his side of the story, and
when this man returned home he was

The Lewisburg, Pa, Chronicle OF the
10th instant quotes the following para
graphs from letter recently written by
Senator Mitchell to Prof. Tustin:
sI appreciate very keenly the weight Of
the very grave responsibility cast upon
me by my election to the Senate. | am
not vain enough to attribute this to any
special fitness on my part in point Of abil-
ity to shine in such body among the
great men Of the Nation, but l am con-
vinced rather that it was bestowed in the
belief that am disposed to deal fairly
and justly toward all parties. In my
Judgment, the highest essential attribute
of public man is measured by purpose
to do the right as he is given to see it.
So far as that is concerned i assure you
no one need hesitate in the belief that l
am disposed to exemplify it in the future,
as l have endeavored to do IN my career
in the past.
And now am about to accepta career
of more grave responsibility than any
hitherto lain upon me, knowing that by
SO doing l lay aside the hope which l
have for years entertained of spending
some of the long years of a rapidly ebb-
ing life in that peaceful home and neigh
bOrhOOd relation which is best htted to
confer happiness here and to secure it
hereafter. But assure you 1 shall en-
deavor to stand guard against all the
Establishments of the world, the flesh and
the devil in whatever station l may be
called to act. l shall strive on toward
the end, in the hope that if 1 do not enjoy
such rest and tranquility here 1 may in
herit it hereafter. regard the 'legacy"
Of the blessed Eternal Life as higher and
better and far more precious than all
earthly honors or worldly fame.
feel very greatly indebted to my old
schoolmate and longtime friend, Mr.,
Wolfe, for his confidence and support.
Without them, am quite aware my nom-
nation and election could not have been
secured with SO great uhanimity, even
had my selection been at all possible
without his aid and concurrence.

Towanda daily review. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1879-1921, 1881-03-26

Says the Boston Herald Marked as
has been the improvement in the South
among all classes and in almost every in
dustry, there is danger which threatens
this section and which can be more easily
averted now than in the future: From
everywhere and everybody comes the
statement that one of the great questions
to be solved by the South and that very
soon, is the labor question. Already it is
becoming difficult for large planters to
command the labor to plant aud gather
their crops. They find it necessary, in
many places. to yield to the colored mans
desire to till the soil for himself by Civ
ground upon the plantation, which he can
cultivate for himself, and allow him
portion of his time to work it. Of course
the custom varies in different sections,
but it is evident that in all parts of the
South the whites are finding it to their
intrests to cultivate closer and better re-
iations with the blacks. This is as it
should be, and will naturally result in
benefits to both. / believe, however
that the result Of this years planting
demonstrates the fact that the sooner the
great plantations are partitioned and fall
into the hands of small farmers the better
it will be for the South.

NEW ORLEANS TO COMPETE WITH NEW
YORK.
"To revert long way back now, Gov.
ernor, to the canal question:" Mr.. Dor
sheimer and Mr., butcher, in their argu-
ments before the Canal Board about
westward tolls, and Mr.. Aword, in re-
cent speech in the Assembly, have spec.
flied New Orleans as, in their opinion,
the most dangerous rival of New York
city in respect to the Western grain
trade. What do you think of that
viewW
Il do not share it," replied the Gov.
ernor, :" dc not think that the competi.
ton by way Of the Mississippi river is
so dangerous to New York as the inn
pending competition by way of the St.
Lawrence after the enlargement of the
Canadian Canal. Doubtless grain can
be carried to New Orleans down the
Mississippi on barges towed by steam.
boats cheaper than it can be conveyed
to New York in any manner. But when
it has got to New Orleans it may be
where it is not wanted. It's distribution
from New Orleans depends upon the
foreign demand for it, which may vary
from year to year. The New York
market for it is safer, because the dis.
tributing power of New York is 80 much
greater, depending upon domestic com.
merce in vastly larger degree than upon
foreign demands. Therefore shippers of
the grain from the West will always be
inclined to give the New York destina-
tion the preference"
