CAPITAL, labor and popular education will make
the South the garden spot ofthe Union Charleston
Neics and Courier.
The trouble is that capital, labor, and
popular education do not harmonize with
the government of lawless red-shirt
militia. When the late Ben Wade was
on his way to California fellow-passcn-
gerremlrked to him that the alkali desert
through which they were riding only
lacked water TO make it rich and fertile,
and that if it could be irrigated popula-
ton would flow in and make it garden
spot Of the continent. The bluff old Sem
ator grimly replied: "Yes, and so would
hell make garden spot under similar
circumstances. All IL lacks is plenty of
water and good societyp 1t can only be
by the enforcement of law, the protection
of the ballot-boX, and the cultivation of n
reverence for national and State au-
thority that capital will be encouraged to
flow into the South, and then labor will
join hands with it. Popular education
will be fostered when race hatred sub
sides, and not before.

Benedict ArnoId's Itirihday.

1t is curious fact, which we have on
the authority of the present owner of the este :,
where Benedict Arnold was born, that the ",pI,''c
of visitors drawn to the W. ,,s;cs,, or ~
wcr ~. Giles has greatly decreased since the
i,..t. Before 1860 hardly day passed that some
stranger did not ask permission to look over the
homestead of the revolutionary traitor. But since
the war such visitors have averaged not more than
one month. Since Sumter was fired on a traitor
has been less OF n curiosity than such Il monster
seemed twenty-five years ago.-NOrcich (Conn)

General Joseph Wheeler, Congressman

A good Indian believes in dying with

the means of fastening upon him some such con-
tcmptuous title as Z" Old Man Who-T Took OFF His

they do not call him too late for supper, or what

IT is said that Barksdale's friends may
have secured the succession of their
champion to the seat in the Senate now
occupied by Lamar when they joined in
nominating General Lowery over Gov
crnor Stone in the late convention in
Mississippi. The Bourbons are divided
as to whether Lamar or Barksdale can
best serve them. A decision of the inn
portant question depends on whether
the open or the more diplomatic method
is most effective. Lamar is the one who

VERY CcnPLInESTARY.

We find the following, concerning 3
well known firm. in the Loeal Leader
of Lexington. Mclean county, Illinois,
Of August 9th:
Among the macy gentlemen who
have left Lexington and settled 10 the
far west none have been more success
ful or have established themselves in
more lucrative business than the Nc
Naughts. About fifteen years ago Jas
Mcknight left Illinois and settled IL
Seattle. Washington Territory. He be-
gao the practice OF law. and Was so
successful IN the management of the
business entrusted TO his care that be
was enabled in a few years TO control
more than half the practise Of the
Courts of his section. About three
years ago Joseph F., brother, after
preparations aud a course of study in
the Wesleyan University, joined James
at Seattle, and the two formed a law
partnership which has been remark
ably successful. Joseph is said to pos
sess unusual ability aud IN al eminent
deree many OF the pre- requisites neces>
sary to the successful prosecution OF
q legal practise He is only twenty.
SIX years Of age ana is even now on the
early side OF career " hieh seems 10 lead
to fame. honors and fortune. Recently
Ex-Gov Ferry has been admitted to
the firm. and now the law firm Of Me-
Naught. Ferry & Mcknight is one of
most important es we'll as the most
prosperous In the west. Of the l03
cases in their term of Court this firm
either appeared for defendant or plain
tiff in 70 of them. The McNaughts of
Seattle are sons Of Mrs Nancy Butler,
and brothers of Mr. w n Mcknight, the
popular druggist. of Lexington. The
Mcknight family are among the oldest
and most respected of Central Illinois,
and have identified themselves with
the interests of this section for many
years. and have thus gained "a they de.
serve the esteem of the people of Nc
Lean county with whom they have so
long been associated. The creditable
position the three sons now occupy is
due entirely to their own efforts, and to
Whatever nights they may attain their
success may be ascrlbed TO their indi.
vidusl exertions. Mr. Jos Mcknight
being east or legal business stopped
here a few days and is the picture of
health. The many friends of the Nc
Naugbts here are pleased to learn of
their success.
