MosT REPUBLICANS in the United
States have looked with great con-
Germ to the dangers that would arise
to the people should the national
government pass into the hands of
the Democratic party. Friends of
the Union have always looked upon
the United States courts as the
strongest and last bulwark the gov
eminent had against the heresy of
States Rights and the grave evils
to follow complete bourbon ascend
ancy in the South. When, after the
great struggle of 1880, Garfield was
elected, every Union man in the
South breathed easier and felt a
great burden fall from him, because
he would have at least the protection
of the United States courts against
ballot-box suffers, tissue ballot
frauds, and bulldozers.
Now, after the victory is won and
peace and prosperity prevail, Henri
Gibson with mis- pop gun paper wad
steps to the front and favors SUR
rendering all. He wants to make
the South solid. He wants to
snatch from the Union men and
unintimidated colored voters of the
bulldozed districts of South Caro-
lima, Louisiana and Mississippi the
last shadow of protection, BY sur
rendering to the bourbon Democracy
the United States courts. Here is
the proof from his paper: 'The
Republican is the first newspaper in
the United States to proclaim itself
in favor of electing Federal judges,
district attorneys, court clerks, &C.,
&C., directly by the people" In
other words, Gibson wants to depose
all the United States judges in the
South and allow new ones to be
elected by the people-that is, by
the tissue ballot box>stuffers. He
calls this his "new departure. We
shall call it his fnew surrender"

The Future OF AndersOnvfiIe
Prison.

Gan ex-soldier," writing from Ma
con, Ca, to the Chicago Tribune Of
Andersonville prison, says:
''The former strong walls of up
right pine posts are rapidly decay
ing, and in most places a ridge Of
rotten wood is the only sign remains
ing of the once formidable barricade.
Young oaks and pines have sprung
up rapidly since the wal, and many
of them have attained O. height Of
fifteen or twenty feet. The numer-
GUS wells dug by the prisoners for
water still exist. The caves and
burrows which they dug for shelter
have mostly been changed into slight
burrows or ridges by the wear and
tear of time. The memorable Provi-
dence Spring. at the foot of the hill,
which suddenly burst out one night
in the midst of q very dry time,
when the prisoners were praying for
water, still exists; it's clear, cool
waters are the sweetest and most re
freshing to be found in all that
region.
ut is matter of romance, not to
say poetic justice, that the main part
of this historic ground is now owned
by colored man, who was a fomer
slave in that vicinity. He is very
intelligent and Industrious mulatto,
named G. w. Kennedy. He bought
$50 acres INCLUDING about two-thirds
of the stockade) for $1,000. When
I was there, a few days ago, he had
cleared up ten OF twelve acres of the
underground, and was about to
plough it up for cotton field. There
were two carloads Of wood cut on
that ground, sold for $1.5O per cord.
I advised him to delay for little, to
see if any Northern individual wished
to purchase or preserve the sacred
spot. Shall it be ploughed up {?
Shall that ground consecrated by the
sufferings and tears Of so many
heroic dead become a tame cotton
field? Perhaps it is best to cover up
the scars OF the war, and hide from
sight the historic ground. A part
of it has already been cultivated; it
may be that some of the cotton sent
north to be spun and woven has
grown upon this scored spot. But
shall the remainder be obliterated?
Il write this that the public may
have fair warning. Some philan-
thropist or patriot ought to pur>
chase that spot, it seems to me. I
have heard of a gathering of ex-
prisoners from Andersonville being
held somewhere in the North,
Would it not be an appropriate thing
for these survivors to purchase this
ground! If was able, I would dc
it myself"
