We by no means intended to include the
Norfolk Ledger in the influences which
are pushing the South forward and not
backward. 1t is a typical Bourbon, and if
its notions of what should be public
policy were 10 prevail the South would
still lag in the rear. 1t is in spite of Bour-
bonism that the South is moving forward.
The Bourbons are not tho. South 10y long
ways, yet they have the impudence and
the egotism to claim that everything
which contributes to relieve the South of
the Bourbon machine is traceable to their
obstructive views. Bourbons don't build
railroads and establish factories. Their
policy would operate directly to the re-
verse. Randall spoke for the new South a
few days ago, and there was not genuine
Bourbon in his hearing that did not gnash
his teeth WREN the eX-speaker declared for
protection and the new South and against
BourboniSm and its fossiiZed idols. Mr.
Cleveland policy willnct be shaped after
the advice of such journals as the Ledger.
Indeed. we expect they will be as severe
in their denunciation of him in twelve
months rs they are now in maligning Gen.

Mr.. Moody, the Evangelist, is holding
religious services in Richmond, which are
largely attended night and day. In one of
his sermons he referred to the public state
ment made bya citizen of that place to
the effect. that he had denounced Gems.
Lee and Jackson after the war in un-
sparing terms. lie denied that he had
ever uttered disparaging word against
them. While strong friend of the Union
and it's cause, he had always regarded Lee
and Jackson as great military ehieftains,
and christian gentlemen. This was met
ha as promptly checked.

manship does not deal in distractions.
1t addresses itself to diversified results,
as they may affect the common good, and
the policy of protection is only justifiable
or defensible. as it may promote the gen.
efal welfare and contribute to national
prosperity Our tariff policy must either
look to protection or free trade and be-
tween them all men have to decide. TN
cidental protection" and revenue reform
are terms employed either to conceal cow
ardice OF to deceive the people. They in
substance either represent protection for
protection sake, in the sense we have
stated. or free trade. and that must be the
outcome of each, should it be declared the
policy of the government. And, accord
ing to our understanding, Mr.. Randall
stumbled upon confusion when he at
tempted to draw the distinction between
free trade and protection that is not pro-
lection for protection sake. To give his
position practical force. he would scuttle
protection. in the attempt to sail clear of
free trade. They are two distinct and an
tagonizing policies, running in parallel
lines, and it must be one or the other.
But apart from these nice distinctions
which mean nothing, Mr.. Randalls
speeches will be productive of good. The
central thought in his addresses was the
protection and elevation of American la.
Dor, and with legislation looking to this,
all other things relating to industrial de-
velopment and independence would follow
No doubt he was surprised at the extent
of the sympathy expressed with his views,
and the evident growth Of protection SEN
timent in the South. He found progress
sive people, interested in material de-
velopment and Industrial progress, who
are not truly represented by the moss
back members of Congress, who, by virtue
of the party machine. stand for such con-
stituencies but do not represent them.
| He has doubtless gathered food for much
future thought and had opened to his
mind a field that it will not be Improbable
to cultivate. An honest expression of the
sentiments of the men in the South who
are striving to build up her waste places,
develop her resources and utilize her nat
ural advantages, would retire to private
life every theorist and doctrinaire now in
Congress. They do not represent the
people, the living, throbbing present, the
new South. They belong to the past,
where they should be consigned with all
other fossils, for they are practical OBJ
structionists to Southern progress. We
Randall may inspire courage in the peo-
pie sufficient to vote their convictions at

The Richmond correspondent of the
Norfolk Ledger says, lit is highly probable
that an extra session of the Legislature
will be called this spring. 1t is said the
condition of affairs in the office of the
Auditor of Public Accounts may necessi-
tate the return of the Assembly. Gov.
Cameron is quoted as saying that should
the investigation now pending, show a
condition of affairs in that Office which
will make it desirable to have legislation,
he will not hesitate to call the Legislature
Of his own notion
What the GoVerRnormight consider to
he bis duty in certain contingencies we do
not know, but we are very sure that the
people never want to see the present Leg
islature in session again.

Reports from West Virginia are to the
effect that a reign of terror exists in the
southern part of Calhoun county. which is
mountainous and isolated. For nearly
two months q gang Of roughs have been
engaged in outIages of various kinds Re
ligious meetings have been broken ul,.
houses robbed and many people injured IN
members Of the gang which is composed
of a lawless and desperate set The au-
thorities seem powerless but are making
efforts to pursue the outlaws. who after
committing all kinds Of depredations hide
themselves in the mountains.

The consideration of two important
bills was defeated in the House OH Mon.
day, for the want of the necessary two
thirds vote to suspend the rules for that
purpose. Mr.. Keifer, Republican, moved
to suspend the rules and take from the
Speakers table the Mexican pension bill
and concur in all the Senate amendments
thereto. A second was secured, and the
vote on the motion to suspend was 129
yeas to SIS nays-not two-thirds. The 9TH
er bill was the bankrupt bill, which passed
the Senate last session. 1t was under the
direction of Mr.. Collins, Democrat. of
Massachusetts. 1t shared the same fate
as the Mexican bill by vote of 1870 yeas
to rs nays-laeking 9 of the necessary
two=thirds. 1t is believed that with
full House, both of these measures will be
taken up and passed on some future day
of the session.

Gen. Wade Hampton has recently
writtena letter in which he gives the as
surance that the colored people of South
Carolina will continue to enjoy the same
privileges and rights under Democratic
National Administration that they do
now. That is not the question. 1t is
whether the privileges and rights the
Constitution guarantees shall be freely
and impartially exercised, with no let or
hindrance, except what the laws impose.
The privileges now enjoyed is what is OBJ
jected to. They are not permitted to vote
as they may wish and have their votes
counted as cast. 1t is no satisfaction to
be reminded, as Mr.. Hendricks has done,
that the rights of the negro are predi-
Gated upon the same Fundamental law that
those of the white citizens are, Mhrn they
are practically denied at the ballot box in
the methods employed at elections. A
free ballot and fair count is what is
wanted in practice as well as theory.

A New Orleans dispatch to the N. Y.
Times, dated the 9Th, says the Exposition
receipts have averaged 1000 a day ana
the expenses s., 1000. The constant rain
and the car-drivers' strike have hurt tho
attendance. 1t is said that 500 carloads of
exhibits are still Ell route, and for the
time being practically lost through mis-
takes in management. 1t is also stated
that the Board of Managers have borrowed
100000 to satisfy immediate Demands.

At Chattanooga Mr.. Randall met royal
reception, and Randall and high tariff
was the song of the multitude. This
sounds odd in the 'ssolid South, y but it is
truthful expression of public sentiment,
whether the courage is present to formu-
late it in ballot OF not. The South is for
protection,

The Tariff Again.

IN the Senate, on Monday last, the first
day of the session after the holidays, Sen
ator Beck introduced bill to create rev.
enue commission, to consist of the Secre-
tary CT the Treasury, five members of the
House and three Senators, to report tC
of December, 1885, what changes and
ifieation, ought to be made in the existing
revenue laws in regard to the amount of
taxes imposed and the method of their col
lection. The bill was read first time and
referred
In the House, ON Monday, Mr.. Hiscock,
Republican, of New York, moved to sus-
pend the rules and place ON it's passage q
bill to reduce the internal revenue. 1t
provides for the entire removal of the tax
on tobacco. including that on the exporta-
tion of that product. 1t also takes off all
taxes upon the handlers of it. All taxes
on brandies, etc., manufactured from
grapes, apples, peaches or other fruit are
repealed. Alcoholic liquors can be with.
drawn from bond without the payment of
the tax, provided they are not to be used
as beverage or any part of a beverage.
The bill is to take effect July l, 1885, and
a rebate is to be allowed on stock on hand,
provided claims for rebate are filed within
ninety days after the 1st of July, 1885.
The bill was taken up by vote of 81 to
IS. II it becomes law the internal rev.
enue will be cut down $50, 1000. 900 annually.
The revenue reformers," as u rule, OPP
posed it. 1t looked to compelling the gov
eminent to raise its necessary revenues by
means Of custom levies, and the virtual
repeal of the internal revenue system.
After debate the vote was taken, and the
bill defeated by a vote Of 131 nays to 70
yeas. So the revenue reformers'' won.

FAX Ratiiionta,
A drink that makes merry, but will
not intoxicate. The Latins and Greeks
were proverbial for their sobrietv, In
I0Nicatlon with them was criminal, The
Mohamedans, since the days of the
prophet, have excluded Intoxicating
drinks from their realm, yet il is a
weil-known fact that at their festive
boards hilarity and merriment pre-
vailed, yet never TO intoxication.
This was accomplished by certain
huids extracted from roots, fruits
and harks, that had never under
gone fermentation, which is reduisite To
render them Intoxicating. The ancients
held the pax ratitlcata was drink tit
tea for the gods, aud it was their Gus
TOM upon rahfying place to mutually
pledge each other in this drink, in a
manner similar to the smoking the pipe
OF peace by tho aboriglnes of America.
IL has most wonderful effect, that of
making you love your enemies, and of
blessing those who despitefully use and
abuse you. Mr.. Ed. S. Aston and
