A SOUTHERN VIEW.

The Mobile Register can give no encosr-
agemsnt for vigorous opposition to river
and harbor steals down South. The heavy
items Of the bill of last congress are the
Mississippi river and the reclamation OF
the Washington flats, both of which were
recommended by the President in special
message. AS to such southern rivers as
the Choctawhatchie the Indian names OF
which provoked such merrimcnt in con-
gress, 1t is nevertheless true that they can
at small cost be made navigablc for hun
dreds OF miles and bring into market mil
lions of acres Of umbered lands which the
government would be otherwise Enabled to
sell. AS to many other streams, north ana
south, the practice Of placing in the Dill
only such as government engineers have
reported worthy of national aid, should be
sufficient guarantee against serious
abuse in that direction, At any rate, how
can the South be expected to be squeamish
about accepting such appropriations IN
view of the enormous grabs the North Is
making upon the national treasury to pay
pensions to purely Northern soldiers I'VE

time be under the ground; yet there are
now 100000 pensioners of the civil war on
the rolls; recent legislation of congress
will soon have increased this number to
100000; more than $500 100000 had been
dealt out TO them up to March l, 1882 ;
S65O00000 were paid out during the fiscal

but it is all the better for the corn crop
The corn crop will be good this fall, one
half better than last crop.
AS the time is past for tall rye, we can
now begin on tall corn. While taking q
stroll through Henry Weaver's corn field
I determined to measure some of his
stalks, and we believe we can put it down
as the tallest corn in the county. Here
are the figures:
Length OF stalk IS feet from the ground
To the ear 10H feet.
Mr.. Weaver will be compelled to husk
his corn with the help of ladder, it is SC
high. The field contains 26 acres, and the
stalks are quite even. Mr.. Weaver's son

When Democratic members of Con-
gress do not vote for the Appropriation
Bills, as made and reported to the House
by Republican Committees, they are al
once accused by the Republicans of re.
fusing to vote the supplies for carrying
on the Government-both the Govern.
ment and the supplies being in the hands
of the Republicans.
When Democratic members of Con.
gress do vote for the Appropriation Bills
as thus made up and reported to the
house by Republican Committees, said
Democratic members are charged by the
Republicans, as now on the River and
Harbor bill, with the responsibility fol
their passage; aud the Republican pa
pers then argue that the Democracy
should not complain of bills for which
at least portion of the Democratic mem
bers voted.
The position of the Democratic mem.
bers in this sort of a predicament would
be quite enviable, if not intolerable.
They would be subject to the response
bllity without the power Of government
to taxation without protection in a
most aggravated form.
The simple truth of the matter, how.
ever. is just this: The party in power

table to the whole people for the acts
passed and the deeds done by the bodies
which it directs and controls. The party
out of power and in the minority is not
accountable for the acts and deeds which
it can neither originate. bring to passage
nor execute.
Let the people be not fooled nor de.
ceived by any special pleading or sophis.
try by the Republican politicians or then
organs on this point. Let them saddle
the right horse or mule, and not whip
the one in the stable.
