A Solid South.

Malone and Mahoneism have sue
ceeded in making the South most de-
cidedly solid, but not for President
Arthur.
MahOne's tactics beget murder and
rioting and the South has had more than
enough of such things. The Virginia
boss efforts TO secure his own elevation
and TO benefit President Arthur have
resulted n Z dOwn'all that Will rebound
to the benefit of every Southern State.
The kind of politics that such men as
Malone pra cticed in Virginia and loody
Fort Pillow Chalmers attempted to
practice in Mississippi is dangerous in
the extreme to the peace and prosperity
Of any community in any State and es-
pecially so in the South.
Virginians, as true Southern people,
have good reason to rejoice becatlse they
have succeeded in knocking such
methods in the head before they OBJ
tanned foothold in the South. They
have shown moreover that they deem
a "solid South much preferable to a
section divided by the methods of such
men as Malone and Chalmers.
If the corrupt Republican party hope
or expect to divide the South, they viii
have to select better tools than those
they have used in the recent attempt

THE LATEST,

REPRESENTATIVE ANDERSON, of Kansas,
has revised the Postal Telegraph bill in
troduced by him last session, and will soon
introduce it in the House. By its provis-
ions the Postmaster General is authorized

to extend from Bangor, Me-, to st. Paul; {;

and the southern from Baltimore to San
Antonio.

The moonshiners all escaped.
FIVE men raided the town of Bisbee, Ariz.,
the other night and killed J. c. Tappiner,
]. A. Molly and D. A. Smith and wounded
Mrs. Roberts. They then robbed a store

a few minutes.
A DISPATCH from Austin, Tex, referring
to the recent report of a suit soon to be
brought in the United States Court Of
Claims, by parties in Texas, to recover the
value of slaves emancipated during the
war, says: Governor Ireland, Attorney
General Templeton and several prominent
lawyers, who had been consulted, scout the
idea that Texas has any more claim on the
Federal Government than any other South
ern State. They consider the scheme a
very foolish one, and that if anybody is
engaged in it, which is regarded as doubt
full, it is for political purposes.
THE Prince of Wales and members of
the Executive Committee of the late Inter-
national Fisheries Exhibition in London
have conveyed to the American Govern
ment a special expression of gratitude at
the admirable manner in which the United
States effectively responded to the appeal
for cooperation at the exhibition.

Earning His Pay.

Malone is equal to the emergency.
To revive the horrifying stories of BOur-
bon atrocities and strive to make a
solid North is his task. So he proceeds
to draw startling picture of Bourbon
ruffianism. The Democrats of Virginia
are described as screaming in threat
ening frenzy as fierce and bewildering
as the dance and song of the Carmag-
mole in the days of the Sdns-cuLotte."
Alas. We fear that with the raga-
muffin followers of Malone the days
of the Sans-culOtte" axe vet to come,
when they lose the Federal pap upon
which they have recently fed.
Malone is now seeking to earn his
pay from the Republicans by getting up
a cry of Southern Democratic persecu-
tions and murders, as political capital
for the campaign of 1884.
What follyI The citizens of the
United States have intelligence. They
ton of the South. The negro popula-
ton. respected when they behave them
selves, are well treated by their white
fellow citizens. They are beginning to
profit Nv education and are acting more
and more every year in harmony with
the whites in political matters. The
Mahones can make no mischief of any
extent in the South. All the Republic
an press can not mislead the people of
the North any longer in regard to the
condition of the Southern States.
The next Presidential campaign will
not De fought under the banner of the
blOody-shirt. The dishonesty of Re-
publican officials can no longer be
hidden under ghost stories about the
Ku-klux Klan. The people are not
fools. They know that the South is re-
covering its prosperity. and that like
the rest of the country it only needs the
advantage of economical gov, !nment,
cessation of corrupt jobs and decrease
OF the public burdens to be restored
to its Old position. That is why
the South wants a change in The
National Administration, and that is
why it will find an ally in the Mort de-
spite the rawlings of Malone and the
ghost stories of the Republican press

1.-THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY MUST

From the eastern shores which bound US,
Unto the western sea-
From north to south around us
Let US sing q Vi 5ory glee.
1e Democratic legions
All hail ye, hail, hey o:
1t is written on our banner
The Republicans must CO.
The party of corruption,
The party stained with fraud
Will not retain their summit
With petitions unto God;
For their mission now is ended
And they re marching sure but slow
To the post of Camp Surrender,
For the party now must go
With the Dorsey-Brady column.
Turning on the golden stream,
They may try to mount the summit,
But their hopes are all dream;
For they've read the glittering banner
And their heads are bending low;
They have heard the awful sentence:
The Republicans must go.
Their stars which glittered brightly
Along the starry route
Have raised the cry: surrender"
Well turn the rascals out.
For they've gambled in high places,
And their record well we know;
Turn them back around behind US;
Turn them out and let them co.
Inelr bloody shirt Is FADING,
And they're cropping now alone;
Virginia crushed their Southern hopes;
They have.loS their brave Malone.
They've failed TO re adjust the South;
They have no heart to crow;
Their bosSes now concede the fact
The party sure must 20.
Postmasters sigh along the route,
And strive TO hold the guards,
But the Democrats have shown their hand !;
They hold the winning cards.
And as their ship of power goes down
They waver to and fro;
They bid their pals a fond adieu,
And with the party go.

He would be enabled to secure to farmers
labors better results.
IT is stated that prominent parties in
Texas will soon bring suit in the Court of
Claims at Washington to recover the value

will be based chiefly on certain clauses in
the State Constitution which were ap-
proved and endorsed by Congress at the
time of the annexation, and which it is
claimed make the Government of the United
States liable for slave property. The plain
tiff in the case was a strong and very pro-

the proposed action is indorsed and will be
pushed by some of the best lawyers.
