We do not disguise the fact that
we are considerably surprised at the
very sudden and vehement revival
of the "bloody shirt" issue by the
republican party There is some
thing significant in this revival. 1t
smells most rankly in the nostrils of
the race as counter move of the
party, based as such upon barefaced
hypocrisy as the absence of living
issue with which to confront the
democratic party. We are free to
say we do not clearly perceive what
the leaders of the party are aiming
at. We are unable to declare that
we believe they are actuated
By a sincere desire to see fair play
done the race. The history of tha

THE NEW SOUTH.

The Charleston News and Courier
says: "The significance of the great
change which has taken place in the
industrial life of the south since the
war, and more particularly within
the last ten years, is scarcely COM
pretended, perhaps, by the southern
people themselves. In many re-
spects the change is like that from
an unsettled country to a settled

The explosion at He'll Gate is de-
clared by Gen. Newton, the engi-
neer in charge of the work, to have
been a success. The cost of the
work on Flood Rock alone is about
one million dollars, but the value Of
the work to the port Of New York
cannot be expressed in figures.
Practically there has been but one
way Of entering New York harbor
from the sea, and that has been
from the south past Sandy Hook.
The rocky distractions in the chan
mel at He'll Gate have to all intents
and purposes closed that channel TO
all except the -.nalIest vesssls, and
even they were subject to many
risks. The life-work of Gen. New
ton-for he has been engaged in
this labor since 1866, and his repu-
tation will chiefly rest on it's success
has been to clear the stream of
these dangerous distractions and
make it open and safe for naviga-
ton by the largest ocean vessels,
many of which will be likely to
avail themselves of the saving in
time and distance which tho sound
route has over the southern entrance
to vessels coming from northern
Europe.

Mr.. Rubiera, the editor of the
Cuban newspaper La Pepublica,
saws that last july secret meeting
of Spanish representatives from each
of the forty-four districts in Cuba
was held to consider the question of
agltating the annexation of Cuba to
the United States. These gentle
men assembled quietly at Saratoga,
and there met certain prominent
American bankers from New York
who are interested in the enterprise,
and discussed the best means of
bringing the matter favorably be-
fore congress at the next session.
The result was that Il committee
was sent to Newport to meet and
confer with ex-President Arthur
with the view of securing his servi-
ces as legal adviser in the enterprise.

A COOP N AanR.--an laa. Monday

A GooD MAEAGER.--0n laat Monday
morning we dropped in to see our young
bachelor friend, Mr.. Arthur pejean, the
efficient manager Of Dr. W. a. Robert
soma plantation, situated four miles
northwest of Washington on bayou
B@uf Arthur was busily engaged iu
repairing fencing with acme Of his la
borers, had number of plows running,
and was getting ready to start a num-
Der Of Others IN day or two mores
Although this is large farm of several
hundreds of acres, ret the sentire area is
devoted to corn and small grain
Notwithstanding the protracted drouth
of last summer, three thousand barrels.
of excellent corn were made on this
place last year, the surplus Of which
was all aold for good price. Arthur
showed Us several tons Of cotton seed
meal, he had in store, for fertilizing his
corn land, and we predict that he will
make heavy crop during the ensuing
year.
During the past year this place has
undergone an entire rehabilitation un-
der the mechanism and supervision Of
Mr. DeJean- A neat and handsome res
idence was erected for, and is now oc-s
cupied By, DR.. Rohertson's family. A
cosy little bachelors cottage was built
for the manager: also an immense barn
or granary, comnodious stable of
twenty Or thirty stalls, Iaborers' cabins,
etc.
We were shown some very fine Berk-
shire hogs, which will be raised extern
sively on this farm. Special attention
will also be given tosraising sheep, but
at this time quite number are dying
of some unknown disease of the head
and throat. Both proprietor and man
aeer are well pleRed with their sur-s
ronudings, and prefer a wide country
domain with its quiet pleasures to the
restricted monotony of urban life. Dir.

tably entertained by our friend Arthur,
