solidity it is driven to fraud and violence to
people is strangled. If preconcerted assassi-
nation does not do the work the tissue ballot
accomplishes the desired end The North is
too intelligent to be sectionally solid, too
used to individual freedom to submit to any
thing like ali abridgement of popular suf-
frage. The South, but freed from the bur-
den of slavery, voluntarily binds itself again
in chains only less onerous. The South did
not, could not, prosper under human slave
ry. 1t will never be what it might be until
there comes a more liberal spirit toward men
OF every political belief. The North is open
to all the world Every man approaches the
ballotbox without fear. The high, low,
rich, poor, white and black, stand on exactly
the same footing. The vote of the negro
who whitewashes for a living is Just as sure
to be voted and honestly counted as
is that of a bank president This same
freedom and safety must prevail in the
South. If Southern statesmen can rise
above prejudice long enough to give free
elections trial they will see that new ele-
ment will come to the South, not to usurp or
change the social order of things, but to
build up wealth, increase intelligence, and
introduce an era of commercial prosperity
never known there. Some of the cities of
the South have already felt the effect of free
labor in an increased number of manufac-
tories and in spirit of thrift and progress
quite gratifying to everybody and every sec
ton. All these things would be multiplied
under the operation of free ballot. There
need be no fear of the negro working harm
through the right to vote. He will be too
busy looking after his own affairs to plot
mischief to others. He will be the last to
destroy that state of affairs which inures to
his own good. When the sunshine of COM
mon sense shall melt the solid South we
shall then see in its stead not section, but
prosperous people, united with those of
the North in the pursuit of all that goes to
make life desirable and a common country
glorious

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS,

1T is with hearty rejoicing that we see the
Southern States making such progress, not
merely in wealth but in that diversification of
industry which is the surest guarantee OF last
ing prosperity. And there are not wanting
signs of social improvement and changes in pub
lie sentiment which give promise of a still
greater progress and higher prosperity.-New
York Tribune.
TAKE it all in all, the November elections of
1883 are more encouraging to the Republicans
than the Democrats. They show that the out
look in the States of Pennsylvania and Massa-
chusetts and New York is promising for Re-
publicanism as it was in 1879. and indicate that
with a strong candidate and the right sort of a

THE result of the November election empha-
sizes the claims of Ohio Democrats to first con-
sIderation in the matter of the presidency and
influence in the national campaign. Ohio is the
only October State, it is true, but to be an Oe
tober State seems TO be to Democratic advant-
age. Ohio carries the Democratic banner in the
year just prior to the presidential encounter.

No candid Democrat will claim, to-day, that
his party has any substantial chance OF carry

at least one of said States what hope is there of
electing Democratic President? Does 1t not
look, in fact as il the situation in 1884 is very
likely to be In general way about the same

THE official objections to the reduction of local
postage to one cent are not tenable in The face
of the urgent reasons that exist for it's accom-.

CONGRESS must not pass a law to redeem
the trade dollars at par. These coins are not
now in the hands of the people; they are in
the hands of banks and SPECTATORS who
have taken them at discount 1t will be
an outrage for the government to buy them
out of the hands of the iobbers at an advance
of Is or 20 per cent. Congress should, and
doubtless will take the view of the trade
dollar held by the Treasury Department, and
determine that it is not the duty of the gov
eminent to redeem at legal rates for silver a
coin that was issued with the distinct under
standing that it was not to be legal tender,
and was only issued to answer a supposed
need of commerce with the far East. This
little petty trade-dollar job and swindle will
bear watching.
