The Corinth Herald very timely
remarks: IF Southern farmers
could clear up the mystery that seems
to overhang the cheapness of their
lands, they would have no difficulty
in securing emigrants to settle among
them. About the best way to ex-
plain the matter is to tell the naked
truth about it, and say they own
more land than they can use, and
have exhausted a great deal of it in
cultivating cotton to pay taxes on
that part which constitutes an idle
capital producing no income. Then
much of the labor is of migratory
character; good enough while en-
ployed, but liable to be gone when it
is most needed. And summing it up
in nut shell, the farm management
is not on paying basis-the excep-
tions being with those farming on
the diversified plan. None of this
class, so far as we know, have any
land for sale. In all our knowledge
there is not b stock-raising farmer
with a mortgage on his land"

We confess to some surprise that

attention in Memphis, and along the
proposed line through this State.
We regard it as q very important

country from Grenada southwark.
II we are not mistaken, the idea or
iginated before the war, but fell
through for the want Of proper spirit.
We believe it was then called the
Grenada g. Meridian, but its ultimate
objective point was the sea coast,
and Pensacola would probably have
been the Southern terminus. Mem
phis cannot have too many sea coast
outlets, nor the Mississippi & Ten
nessee Railroad too many feeders.
The Pensacola road would penetrate
q rich country that has never had
the benefit of railroad facilities, and
we regard it as one OF the most i'm
portant of all the roads that have
been projected.-Sardis Reporter.

TIE MITIHEWN CASE.

The Chicago Times asserts that no reason IN
shown why the Senate should not unanimously
confirm the Presidents nomination of DIT.
Matthew'S for the recordership of deeds or the
District OF Columbia.
On the contrary, several cogent reasons are
shown. Matthews ought to be rejected on the
Senate's account, on the Presidents account
and on his own account. On the Senate's
account because that body has already con-
sdered the nomination and rejected it. In face
of this circumstance Mr. Cleveland as soon as
the Senate had adjourned last summer placed
Matthews In Office, thus offering something
very like deliberate insult to a coordinate
branch of the Government. 1t would seem to
be due to the Senate's self-respect to defeat the
Presidents undignifed attempt to circumvent
it. On the Presidents account. lie Is on record
AZ being opposed to going outside of the Terri
tories for Territorial officials, and ought to be
helu to his convictions" Mr.. Cleveland SUD
scribed to the resolutions adopted by the
National Democratic Convention of 1884, the
Convention that placed him in nomination.
One of the resolutions was in these words !:
g The selection of Federal officers for the Terri
torres should be restricted to citizens previously
residents therein" Mr.. Cleveland having said
samenr to this, is estopped from going to
Albany for recorder for the District Of Co
lumbia On Matthews's own account His
career at Albany does not commend him for
the position. Many of the best-known colored
citizens of the city protest against the appoint
ment. They argue that not genuine merit bit
a peculiarly reprehensible cert of perniclous
activity secured him the prize. They insist that
he is not worthy representative of the
colOrtd race.

THE DEBT and THE SURPLUS

Happily reputation is no longer the fashion
Danger that public creditors will be forced to
surrender bonds, or to go without the stipu-
lated interest, is not serious. There is indeed
q possibility that standard silver dollars,
though much deprecated. might be Offered in
payment of bonds or interest. but when it is
known how the very existence of financial
| instit utiOns In which are invested the savings
of Che people amounting To thousands OF
| millions, depends upon absolute maintenance
| of the public faith, it is hardly probable that
| any Congress can be found to sanction a
! measure which would involve their bank ruptcy.
| Then there is no longer piuching temptation.
The taxes are hardly felt, and yet they yield
an enormous surplus. so that it is easier to pay
debts 90 the full than to wrong creditors.

now has certain value In tue market. People
are willing to sell il for about 81, LOT 80.
Nobody would pay any premium for ii $1,000
greenback, promise TO pay the same money
without interest. The premium represents
what people think it worth TO have sure and
regular income of 4lo per cent just here lies
the obstacle to all plans for preparing the
interest or otherwise getting rid of the obliga-
the Treasury has said in his annual report that
it would be Justly considered wasteful and
objectionable to pay the high premium now
demanded for bonds not due. But that pre-
smium expresses what holders consider their
cont, acts worth. If Government offers them
any less, no matter in what shape, the prOba-
bity is that they will decline, and the offer
will come TO naught and both the obligation
and the surplus will remain.
Government Can pay and retire the legal
tender notes, as Secretary Manning proposes,
if the law be changed. These bear no pre-
MUM. Otherwise. it cannot reduce the debt
without paying the holders, in one form or
another, what they think their bonds worth.
If reduction of debt is essen ial, the Secretary
names the only way which is likely to bs
found feasible. excepting rs to the substitu-
ton of silver certificates for green backs. But
retirement of the greepbacks would excite
great opposition, and would be open to some
valid objections. Ii silver notes, promising to
pay less than dollars worth of silver are To
be largely used, other notes which promise gold
and are u legal-tender will help to prevent de-
probation. Perhaps it is enough 10 cay that

III bonds caInut be retired without paying
more for them than Government ought u
pay, and II notes cannot be retired because
Congress will not consent, the problem comes
back to It's old shape, the surplus must be- ex-
pended, or else it must be cut down by redac-
ton of taxes. There are only two months in
which to ect on the question. A complicated
