stripped OF all their property. simply
because of their fidelity to the Consti-
tuition aud the Union Of their father.
The spirit of Vendetta, unknown in
the Northern States, was frequently
shown in the South, where it had long
been domesticated with all its Corsican
ferocity 1t had raged in many in
stances TO the determination OF iaihi-
lies, and in many localities to the de-
struction of peace and the utter def
anee OF law--not unfrequently, iu-
deed paralyzing the administration of
justice in whole counties. Often seek
ing and waging open combat with
ferocious courage, it did not hesitate
at secret murder, at way-layilg on
lonely roads with superior numbers,
and IL Sometimes went SO far as to
torture an unhappy victim before the
final death-blow. The language of Mr..
Johnson was interpreted by the merci-
full in the North as indicating that his
own injuries and fierce conflicts dur
ing the war had possibly inspired him
with this fell spirit of revenge which
in his zeal he might mistake for the
rational demands OF justice.

Southern Boys Losing Rich Prizes.
Memphis Avalanche.

A Lowell, Mass man remarked on
the north-bound l.. & n: train, Satur-
day, why is it that your southern
youth don't seem to catch on to their
opportunities? They come sometimes
to our country and do we'll and stand
WELL At home, they have the best
places and the surest posts and the
ways to certain wealth Tor those who
can use their opportunities, to be filled
by trained northern people. While
they starve at law and medicine or fill
clerkships northern people are coming
down to occupy posts where thrifty
northern young men will reap fortunes
and marry your best southern women
for their rewards"
In humble spheres, and far as one
poor voice could reach, the editor of
the Avalanche has been for ten years
warning of precisely this state OF af-
Iairs
The speaker was skilled mechanic,
"a trained nachinist, who had been
putting up cotton machinery in the
south. He was young man and he
had seen his own opportunity. "Why,"
said he, Tennessee is the best country
l qave ever seen"
Thousands OF our people have gone
to Texas and our young men have
been educating themselves for the So
called learned professions, or going
without education into work or busi-
ness, not specially trained for anything.
The whole south is moving forward
in new and rapidly-growing industrial
progress. 4 thousand new fields are
opening up; thousands OF new places
are inviting capacity, skill and train
ing. But few, comparatively, of our
young men are prepared to occupy
the opening places that are inviting
them. ...-.
A hearty welcome to those who
come. They are entitled to the reward
due to preparation, skill and adventure
in new field. But it is Il pity that own
own young men, are not opening their
eyes to the patent truth that the indus
trial and mechanical fields are those
that hold the golden prizes for dis
trIbutIon.
1t is true that many have been wise,
but how few, comparatively, are seek
ing in right ways and with proper
preparation, the fields where rich har-
vests await the reapers.
These are the fields that proffer
wealth, standing, position, social dis
tinction and fortunate marriage in the
south, for the coming % years.
Prepare to enter there, boys. Pre-
pare your sons TO enter there, parents,
il you can rise above the still potent,
but not for long potent, social law
against sweat, CRIME and the hard
hand.

James ID. Porter.
NIatonnfu A Ax,aIonrha.


The Office OF which Hon. james d.
Porter has been appointed is as high
almost in rank as some OF the other
chief cabinet positions. 1t is an honor
worthily conferred upon one OF the
best men Tennessee has produced.
His executive capacity and ability as
public man have been thoroughly
tested in the legislature, on the bench
in the constitutional convention of lS-
20, in the gubernatorial chair during
two terms and as president of the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st Louis
Railway.
The marked recognition OF such a
man bv the first democratic admins
tration is valuable sign, looking at il
solely from the side of the public ser
vice. but it has higher significance.
1t is recognition OF a courage of opin-
ion. q brave standing by convictions, a
lofty character and great moral purity.
There are those in Tennessee who
would like to say something against
the appointment, but they will not.
No appointment will be more thor
oughly approved by men OF all parties
and all factions.
There are those who will not be
pleased because they will look at il
from the machine point Of view. This
class is comparatively a small part oi
the people of Tennessee. AS TO these
we have no right to question their un'
fortunate judgement.

Elliah's Altar.

We are approaching that spot cele-
bratcd in Bible story where Elijah sac
riticed before the prophets OF Baal, and
where tradition has placed the altar
where he called down the divine fire,
and which commands one OF the most
extensive and interesting panoramic
views in Palestine, including almost
every point ofnote in Galilee. Within
the last year the Carmelites have
erected church on the lofty bluff
where this event Is supposed to have
occurred, and which, rising abruptly
above the plain of Es lraelcn to a height
OF one thousand six hundred feet, forms
the southeast angle of the mountain,
and is a conspicuous object from far
and wide. But moments reflection
will convince us that tradition is not
correct in assigning this lofty pinnacle
as the scene OF the occurrence, for we
are told that the prophet "said to his
servant, go up now, look towards the
sea. And he went up and looked, and
said there is nothing. And he said, go
again seven times" Now there would
have been no occasion for Elijah to
have given any such directions TO his
servant had the altar been at the place
supposed, for the sea is in full view OF
it, from Athlit to Cesarea; il is evident
therefore, from the words "Go up"
that the altar was at lower elevation.
The late Dean Stanley his conjectured
that the spot might have been on a
plateau little lower down, where
there is a we'll on the south slope of the
mountain; but it has seemed TO me
more likely that it was in sort of
low amphitheater, which, on account
of its greater area, would have been far
better adapted for so great multi
tude, as that which was assembled TO
witness the discontinue OF the false
prophets, and which lies to the west a
little below Mahkraka, and completely |
concealed from the sea view. There |
is ponit within few minutes of what |
would be the center OF this plane, from |
which the sea- is clearly visible. And, |
curiously enough, hidden away in the |
brushwood, | came here upon a mas
sive erection Of square slabs of stone,
each averaging eighteen inches square,
and eight or nine inches thick, which |
placed ON one another without cement,
make rude table about twelve feet |
long and four feet high.
do not, Of course, pretend that this
was the original altar, which il is re
corded was destroyed at that time, but
] am at loss to conjecture what pur-
!, sse it could have served: ana its po-
siiion was so exactly that which might
have suited the occasion, that the idea
was suggested to me by finding il here,
that it may be the remains OF some
erection put up in jewish times 10
commemorate the event. There is a
path leading from it directly TO the
Kishon, mt the point where the Tel-el
Kusis, or Hill OF the Priests, rises from
the margin of the brook, and which
owes It's name to the tradition that it
was the scene Of the execution oi the
false prophets. This portion OF the
was evidently the most pop
ulous AMI most richly cultivated in
former times, as il is To day the most
beautiful Oiphaat, ia Giurci,m IN.

Still They Come.

The two appointments OF importance
sent to the Senate Friday, for Commits
sioner OF Indian Affairs and Assistant
Secretary OF State, are in the line oil
practical Civil Service Reform.
Mr.. John ID. c. Atkins, OF Tennessee,
who is named for the former Office,
needs no Endorsement at Washington,
where he is well known. He is sixty
years OF age, but active and vigorous
and has more than ordinary qualiiica-
tions for the head OF the Indian Bu-
reau. Mr.. Atkins, who il native OF
Tennessee, was a representative in
Congress before the war. Since then
he has been in the House for ten years,
sittingin the Forty-third, Forty fourth,
Forty-hfth, Forty-sixth and Fortysev-
enth Congresses. For four years as
member OF the Appropriation Com
mittee he had special supervision OF
the details Of the Indian appropria-
tions, and he is familiar with the tac-
tics OF the Indian rings.
Few Of the rascals who have infested
Washingtoa for the last sixteen years
have been more bold and unscrupu-
Ious than those associated with Indian
affairs. The frauds OF the Indian Bu-
reau have been great, but they are
naturally difficult Of detection. Mr..
Atkins is remarkably firm. resolute
and honest, and ii will be difficult to
deceive and impossible to control HIM
when he has determined on his course.
He will make short work with the
thieves. In the House and IN COM
mittees he has been remarkable for
directness OF purpose and untirrng ap-
plicaiion. In evely way he is q III man
for the place.
Gen. James ID. Porter. also OF Ten
nessee, is a gentleman whose lagal at
tainments, dignity Of demeanor and
sterling Americanism might well tit
him for the chief position in the de-
partment in which he is to be assist
ant.
In the important appointments thus
far made, especially in those which
have been taken from Congress, IL is
gratifying to see that they are all in
harmony with the policyo retrench-
ment, economy. honest taxation and
administrative reform. Mr.. Atkins
while in the house was always a stanch
supporter of fru9nlity in appropria-
tions and determined opponent OF
prodigal expenditures and legislative
Jobs in every shape and form.

Memphis Avalanche.

The reason why Senator Harris Was
opposed to Senator Jackson for APP
pointment to cabinet place is very
plain. II was his belief that mere
machine service would be no passport
to any Tennessee Office in jackson 8
department or within the range OF his
influence" The Avalanche thinks that
he Was right in believing that it would
have been II cold day tor machine poll
tics in Tennessee.
The senior senator erred in snppoS-
ing democracy would have been in
jured. There Is nothing Tennessee
democracy stands in greater need Of
Just now than that the selections for
federal Office shall be guided by some
benign influence that ls thoroughly
hostile. to the machine.
Democracy needs the true democ-
racy of the people in place OF boss
and machine direction. 1t needs the
wholesome ferment and active work
ing OF popular Thought 1t has been
for too long entirely slowly gnawed at
and weakened by a machine that is
apart from the people and has neither
sympathy with them nor their con-
fidence. The result was shown in the
last election.
The machine remedy for loss suffer
ed is to put the bosses in Office, making
here and there effective political work
ers. They would build machine
The result would be the loss OF the
State.
The Avalanche is not deSirous OF
having IA machine of its own built.
The Avalanche has only a newspapers
interest in politics. 1t does not pro-
pose to go up or down for party or for
politics, nor to tie itself TO any one
idea Ii it attempted or had direction
of the building of machine it would
probably make more disastrous
mistake of it than those who are en-
gagged in laying the pipes would make
and, for all we know, may make. 1t
simply opposes all machine building.
1t is against machine politics. The
country is tired of machines and
bosses. In official life the American
people want business.

Hampshire, who was present on the
occasion, said, with characteristic wit,
that johnson seemed willing TO share
the glory Of his achievements with his
creator, but utterly forgot that Mr.
Lincoln had any share OF credit in
the suppression of the rebellion"
The infiexible sternness OF Mr..
Johnson's tone and the frequent repe-
tition OF his intention to infiict the
severest penalty of the law upon the
leading traitors, begin to create appre-
hension in the North. Il was feared that

The following extracts from the

Years in Congress- furnished by the
publisher, w. T. Grant. appear in the
New York Tribune of March 15:
"While Mr. johnson had been, dur
ing his entire political life, a member
OF the Democratic party, and had at
tained complete control in his State,
the Southern leaders always distrusted
him. Though allied 10 the interests OF
slavery, and necessarily drawn to its
defense, his instincts, his prejudices,
his convictions were singularly strong
on the side of free people. His SYM
pathies with the poor were acute and
demonstratiye-leading him to the
advocacy of measures which in wide
and significant sense were hostile to
slavery. In the early part of his career
as a representative in Congress he
warmly espoused, if indeed he did not
originate, the homestead policy. In
support of that policy he followed a
line of argument and illustration
absolutely and irreconciiably antagon-
istic to the interests of the slave sys-
tenn as those interests were understood
by the mass OF Southern Democratic
leaders. eT

A town is very much like an individ-
ual. To be fourishing, it must have
energy and enterprise. The people in
a town should labor for its prosperity.
They should remember that individ-
ual prosperity depends to a large extent
upon the character of the place in which
their business is located Every public
measure should be literally supported
by all, especially by the business men.
At the present day there is as much
competition between towns as there is
among persons and business enterprises.
A man seeking a location will invariably
select town that is up to the times, and
is eagerly in favor of modern improve
ments. A town in these times can't af-
ford to be peopled with old fogies or
antediluvian fossils who are continual
ly kicking at every enterprise. To make
a flourishing town you must believe in
its future and work for it, encouraging
every improvement. Make a special
effort to exhibit some evidence of inn
provement in your own work and char
acter. Help every worthy man, help
every enterprise and encourage good
men to locate in your town.-Er.
