Of the narrative Of the work is in the form OF

has more pith than padding, and to old
soldiers especially it will prove most enter

Growth of the South.

Atlanta Constitution: The growth
of the South continues to astonish
the people of the sluggish eastern
and middle States. When wealth
is accommodating in the South at the
rate of 100 millions a year, when
the railroad mileage is keeping pace
with the increase in wealth, and
when the number of spindles has
been doubled since the census year
when they read about such facts as
these, they begin to think that the
South has future, and to wonder
how such things can be out of their
own section. Then, too, they see
that Southern cotton mills are di-
vIding from 10 to 20 per cent. on
the capital invested, when their
own mills are struggling to keep
out of bankruptcy. Altogether, the
Southern side of the country is look
ing up.

The Memphis Appeals persistent
effort to get up a boom for South
ern Presidential nominee on
the next Democratic ticket, has re-
suited in proving that such move
ment is not favorably regarded at
the South. Hon. John F. House, of
this city, is a man of remarkably
fine judgment, and what he says in
political matters may generally be
taken as fair sample of the best
Southern thought. The Appeals
Washington correspondent wrote
him asking his views on the sub
ject mentioned above, and he re-
piled in the following very sensible
letter:
GAINESVILLE, TENN, Nov. s,
1s83.-A. b. Cunningham, Esq,
WASHINGTON DEAR SRA weeks
absence from home has prevented
an earlier response to your favor,
wishing to ascertain my views as to
the propriety of nominating a south
ern man on the national Democratic
ticket in 1884.
There are two reasons why l
think the South should not put in
any such claim or demand In the
national convention.
First-We have reached a period
where sectional feeling has so far
subsidized as to give the South recog-
milton and measurably fair hearing
at the bar of northern public opIn-
ion. We should not seek to disturb
this state of thing by even a seem
ing undue haste to assert ourselves
as a section and thus, in all proba-
Dility, to disturb a condition OF
things very favorable to US, and
throw away the fruits of a victory
of endurance born"
SecOnd-The South is solid for
any competent, good Democrat.
The doubtful Democrat States are
in the North. 1t seems to me that
northern Democrats may beselected
whose local popularity will help our
ticket in doubtful northern States.
There is no southern Democrat
whose nomination can possibly, as
/ think, have this effect. Hence, L
think the reasons against any sec
tiOnal self-assertion by the South will
predominant. Our chances for vic
tory in the contest are promising.
But the chances of victory are one
thing-a victory won is another
thing. We can afford to throw
away no chances, to run no needless
risks. Truly yours,
JOHN +. HOUSE.

pose OF Southern schools and Hitter

pound interest. Spoon Butler was
a Democrat, was the civil rights
bill daddy. Senator HOar, while a
member Of Congress many years
ago from the same State, was the
father of another bill more valuable
to the Freedman than thousand
"civil rights bills" His bill pro-
posed to divide the sales of public
lands among the several States &C.
cording to illiteracy. If Hoar's bill
was the law OF the land to-day
North Carolina and Tennessee
would get a lions share. The bill
distributed per capita the fund to
all over ten years who could not
read and write. For that single
act of Hoar's life / shall ever revere
his name. The civil rights bill was
a fire brand Hoar's bill was the
olive leaf offered to the South
Every Southern journal and every
true statesman and philanthropist
could have endorsed that bill, and
if the national Congress in Deem
Der would use the same diligent
haste as in the public strengthen
ing act pass an act appropriating
sixty million pro rata among the
States under Hoar's bill, it would
be the browning act of the National
Congress under Republican rule.
The permanency of this republic
depends upon the education and
elevation of the masses it is para
mount to everything, and Jew and
GENTLE should accept aid from any
and all sources for the public edu-
cation of the masses.
