$I66 1000, 900 were thus added to the
debts of these impoverished states, just
emerged from the desolation of civil
war, The carpet-bag rulers stole and
squandered most of this money. The
cost, too, of carrying on the state gov
ernments kept pace with the enormous
inf Of their debts, and taxation fol-
lowed these excesses, almost to the point
of confscation.
The local taxes of these nine states
aggregated SI1,2I7539 in 1860, when
they were prosperous, They summed
up $26,o2o,232 when they were prostrat
ed in 1870 In 1860 they had 30 59S,996
acres Of land under cultivation, valued
at $I,2o7, 7,5S7.S57, and in 1870 they had
3I,97S $50 acres valued at S545, ,9779I5
The revival of the South in the face of
all this, as exhibited by the returns of
the present census, is wonderful.
After the country has put the stamp of
its reprobation on these atrocities, and
compelled the Republican party to re-
nounce Grant, who was the instrument
through which they We're made possible,
this New Hampshire Senator unblush>
ingly advocates a restoration of that in>
famous rule in the South.

O'Brien alias Lindsay, who swore
falsely in the Philip trial that he knew H.
L. Morey, the Chinese letter man, plead
guilty to perjury in New York last week,
and was sentenced eight years in the
Penitentiary. O'Brien is a worthless fell
low who would swear to anything for five
dollars; but if some of the high-toned
pepurers of the Credit Mobilier and
Louisiana Returning Board had been
treated to the same penalty, current his
tory would read differently.

The Rep. geniuses thought to sweep
things in Canton at the late election, by
helping the crusade Of the M. DIS. of
the Board of Health against the hogs.
They now realize that pork is an Ameri-
can institution. Has not the Garfield
administration been corresponding with
the French government, and succeeded
in getting the latter to remove the re-
striction on American porki 1t is now
admitted into France like other AmeriN
can food productions. The Rep. boys
have bad advisers, and are apt to strad'
die the wrong way. The Mckinley Of
fee is the directing power, and no one
who knows, accuses THEM Of being wi
ser than the law allows.

runs the finances Of the government.
Garfelds appointments amount to
naught until the Senate confirms. Mas

A TEXT worthy of daily remembrance is,
"He that contemneth small things shall fall
little by little" Could not many an unsuc-
cessful person look back and see that it has
been the neglecting Of small things that has
caused the want of success? Unwise words,
thoughtlessly spoken and forgotten by a
wife, may be working the RUIZ of her hus.
band and family. "So-and-so is in sad
trouble" was said the other day, and the
reply was, eyes, but it was the foolish
gossipping of his wife that brought it on"
She had forgotten the Importance Of these
small things called words, and had wrought
irreparable mischief. The same was un-
wise Or not strictly correct actions; their
Importance may be for time slurred over
because they are not very palpably wrong,
yet the continuance in them may some day
prove them to be the little and little that
impcrceptibly worked ruin.
