What Are You 0sing ts NJ About II
The proposition will hardly be gainsaid
that q county 80 rich, 10 prosperous, SO
densely settled and with such an intelIi-
gent and progressive population as Lancas-
ter, should maintain free highways, passa-
ble atall seasons and open to all travellers.
Yet the astonishing fact remains that
this shiretown, seat Of justice and centre of
trade, has every avenue Of approach to it
guarded by toll gate. The pleasure drives
and highways of traffic are blocked on every
side by the road bar. One cannot get in or
out with vehicle save by one tortuous,
winding way, except he pay his tribute of
two cents mile. Like fly in the spiders
web the city is enmeshed within net
work Of roads, nearly all Of which have
been as burdensome TO The public as they
have been profitable TO their stockholders.
But those who complain of the toll paid
as burthensome tax ON travel must
admit that the macadamized road itself
affords great facility to travel, and that
without it our towns would be shut out
from communication with the country
during part of the year when dirt
roads are well nigh impasssable. The
companies which have built the many
macadamized roads around the city and in
the county have given great good to the
county and its towns but the good would
be greater if the roads were free. OF course
they cannot be made so by the companies
which conduct them for profit but the,
can be SO made by the county. The ques
ton is whether it should not purchase ant
| open them TO free travel.

THE Philadelphia Record performs nota-
BILE work in its splendid quadruple sheet
issued to-day, containing the story OF Phila-
delphias rise from a quiet old Quaker city
TO one of the greatest hives Of industry in the
world. The causes and the men that con-
tributed to these great results are touched
upon in graphic style, and the whole recalls
in its results an Arabian Nights story. II is
great stroke of enterprise to have brought
this history home to Philadelphians in the
complete manner in which it has been pre-
sented, and it must tend to enhance the
popularity of this very popular journal

LANCASTER, MARCH 2s, 1856.
The South,s Case.

The Southern people ere making them
selves heard and felt in the literature of
the country. Joel Chandler Harris Sidney
Lanier, "Charles Egbert Craddock,' Paul
II. Hayne, his son, William NJ. Hayne, and
George w. Gable not to speak of progress
sive newspapers, like those of Mr.. Waiter
son, Mr.. Grady, Mr.. Burke, and others !;
polished orators and scholars in public life
like Lamar and Hampton, Daniel and
Tucker, ARE commanding for their section
respectful attention even from that cul-
tured, but somewhat narrow-minded and
intolerant class of people who were very
10th to believe that any..good could come
out Of the South.
Mr.. Cable has not been partial to the
people Of his section, least of all to the
Creole stock of his own city of New Or
leans and from his point of view doubtless,
there has been seen much that was fairly
3 worthy Of satire and condemnation. In
presenting the case of the freedmen, in re.
j cent notable Century article, he seems en-.
tirely to have overlooked the case of the
white population and the ruling social and
political forces Of the south. They find al
able and earnest advocate in Mr.. Grad,
from whose reply TO Mr.. Cable w
take passage; while the whole il
well worth attention. The discussion ha
greatly Illuminated subject which, unde
Democratic administration, all patriots
and intelligent men will beglad to see takel
out of federal politics, and remanded to tn
necessities of the local situation. The rea
= interests of white and black in the Soutl
are identical; both are realizing this an
they are working out their problem peace
ably and profitably; and will continue t
do no If noisy partisan intermeddlers wi
only let them alone.

A Representative Of Georgia Asks Thst HIS
People be Given Chance 70 solve
Their Problem.
Henry w. Grady, OF the Atlanta Constitu-
tion, has nm article I'm the April Century, In
reply to Mr.. Cable, from which we quote as
follows: "Let no one imagine, from what Is
here said. that the South is careless OF the
opinion or regardless Of the counsel Of the
outside world. On the contrary, while
maintaining firmly a position she believes to
be essential, she appreciates heartily the
value OF general sympathy and confidence
With an earnestness that Is little less than
pathetic she bespeaks the patience aud the
impartial judgment ofall concerned. Surely
her situation should command this, rather
than indifference or antagonism. In poverty
and defeat, with her cities destroyed, her
fields desolated, her labor disorganized, her
homes In ruins, her families scattered, and
the ranks of her sons decimated, lin the face
of universal prejudice, famed by the storm
of war into hostility aud hatred, under the
shallow of this sorrow and this disad-
vantage, she turned bravely 10 con-
front "A problem that would have taxed
to the utmost every resource OF rich and
powerful and victorious people. Every inch
of her progress has been boset with sore diff
ficulties and IL the way IL now clearing, 1t
only reveals more clearly the tremendous
import Of the work TO which her hands are
given. II must be understood that she de-
sres to silence no criticism, evade no issue,
| and lessen no responsibility. She recognizes
| that the negro is here TO stay. She
| knows that her honor, ner dear name,
| and her fame, no less than her prosperity,
| will be measured by the fullness of the justice
| she gives and guarantees to this kindly and
| dependent race. She knows that every mis-
| take made and every error fallen into, no
matter how innocently, endanger her peace
and her reputation. In his full knowledge
| she accepts the issue without fear evasion.
| She says, not boldly, but conscious of the
honesty and the wisdom of her convictions
Leave this problem to my working out
| will solve 1t in calmness and deliberation,
without passion or prejudice, and with full
regard for the unspeakable equities 1t holds
Judge me rigidly, but Judge me by my
works And with the South the matter
may be left-must be left There it can be
left with the fullest confidence that the honol
| of the republic will be maintained, the right
OF humanity guarded, and the problem
worked out in such exact justice as thu
| finite mind can measure or finite agencies

Welcome, Watterson (!

Mr., Henry Watterson is not an ogre not
by any means. For all the hard things he
has to say about the Pennsylvania Demo-
crats, whom he will not admit to be
Democrats, he likes us and we like
him. He had hardly got within the
state the other day on his way East when
he unbosomed himself to reporter in the
Pittsbnrg station, and uncorked his admi-
ration for Hay, Hopkins and Randall /; just
as in his paper the other day he lauded the
genial social qualities and the admirable
intclloctual ability Of Black, Wallace and
Curtin.

SOME of the low-bred Republical

SOME of the low-bred Republican journals
which delighted to spit their venom upon
"ex Sheriff Cleveland" are now indulging in
blackguard abuse of Mr.. Manning. They
only deiile themselves by it, AS president
OF publishing company and of am extensive
national bank in Albany, with high social
position, leading a blameless private life and
enjoying the respect and esteem of a COM
munity which has marked every step of his
rise from poor office boy TO secretary of the
treasury, Mr.. Manning cannot be hurt by the
carpings of partisan malice, or the spleen of
envy. But If those who delight in this sort
Of abuse would not make themselves entirely
ridiculous they should specify some ground
for their accusations against Mr.. Manning's
character.

SUPPOSE the people who are exercised
about Higgins, and who are making an ado
over the " charges" against him, let up for
period and give heed to Pearson, whose case
is more pressing. The anti-Higginsites are
most clamorous for the reappointment of
Pearson, as postmaster of New York. And
yet as carly as March "a, 1888, Attorney
General Brewster reported, upon an investi-
CATION of the case that Pearson was interest

classes Of mail matter in violation OF section
S,9S2, revised statutes that che is guilty Of
gross offense against the law by being in any

his first otiense is seriously aggravated by
two facts: First, in advising the violators of
the law how TO evade il; second, because
when called upon in am official manner to
give the names of all companies who We're
violating the law in this respect he failed to
report all the companies named in the com.

A Churiish Indian Commissioner who Would
Not Rig mp Red Cloud.
Red Cloud and Interpreter Randall called
on Secretary Lamar last week. While wait
ing to be admitted Assistant Secretary Joslyn
noticed that the Indian chiefly rather shah
billy dressed, and going into the secretary's
room suggested that AN order be given for
the purchase of new suit for Red Cloud.
The suggestion pleased Mr.. Lamar, and he
came out Immediately, shook hands cordially
with the chief, and said 10 Mr.. Joslyn:
"Dress him up fine"
Indian Commissioner Price was then di.
rected to issue an order ON a clothing store
for a new suit for Red Cloud, but 10 the as
Constituent of every body in the office Mr..
Price positively refused to obey the order.
Secretary Lamar was informed of Prices
insubordination, and thercupon made out
the ordor himself for the clothes. The cause
of Mr.. Prices refusal TO obey his SUPERIOR
order is said 10 be owing to the fact that Rec
Cltud had declined 10 call on him since bi'
arrival In the city.
