The Southern people think that intel
ligence and character ought 10 rule and
that their theory in politics and society
Is the wisest and best for all classes,
ignorant and rich The Northern peo-
pie believe in exactly the same thing.
but when It comes to applying this 10
the South they object because Of some
fantastic conception Of equality between
races which the Northern people would
not allow in the North, and which the
whole history of the world shows to be
impracticsble
The average Northern man would be
ashamed to advocate the barbarian idea
of putting a Northern State under ma
jority of ignorant negroes, and it is
a monstrous sbsurdity when seen
from the enlightened view Of things that
enlightened men OF the North claim as
their own high privilege.
The enlightened mind of the North SO
proud Of its civilization, should contem-
plate the problem as affecting what the
Northern people believe in, viz prog
ress.
And the question is, can there be pro
gress, education, high enlightenment and
industrial success If State should be re-
manded to the condition Of South Caro-
lima under the carpet-bagger and negro
rule. Can the Northern people, having
the control Of the United States Govern
ment, mai~ain the national selfrespect
and dignity if they still assert that the
thieying carpet-bagger is a statesman
and the negro vr,uOus and intelligent
citizen, aud will they not be ashamed
OF both should Congress pass such laws as
10 put the Southern States back to the
wretched condition of twenty years ago.
The idea of establishing a Republican
majority according to the census and on
the dogma that black majority of pop
ulation means the right TO count Re
publican majority al the polls is one of
those immense strokes of Radical states.
manship that will have to be seen
70 be appreciated as the show
men say. 1t is believed that if
the Republican leaders can muster "a
large enough majority in the House of
Representatives they will carry out that
plan so far as Congressional, and Presi-
dental elections are concerned at least
and then, IL 1t can be worked, they will
claim that elections for State Legislatures
Ulusl tOlnc unutl tli' o"h' '"'''' ~
casse Legislatures elect Senators. If all
this applied to all the States alike, there
might be some palliation for the perpeira-
ton Of such an outrage on the rights
of the States. But 1t is intended for the
Southern States, and is meant to work like
the patent adjustable Southern outrage
tina, can be moved to any State OF district
lin the South and applied with a gear
attachment from Washington just as
Sherman managed the Danville massa-
cree and Eliza Pinkston.
What we call attention to is the
eccentric adaptation Of the idea Of
progress and the retrogrcssiye tendency
of such policy.

do they go except to Hayti, according
TO that Radical philosophy which makes
different rule for different sections, and
puts its patent medicine advertisement

Since Gutenberg had his article "sei

while all the time the press was being
improved The present year, however
has done the work of a revolution.
The New York Trjune, the first Amer

first TO print from Hoe perfecting press
is the first to announce a successful de-
pariure from This old and tedious system.
The machine now does substantially
all the composition of this paper. The
old fashioned frames and trays, with
their square compartments filed with
dingy types have given place in its
composing-room TO upright structures of
brass and iron, oyerhung by a net
work of belts. long lines of shafting,
huge metal pipes and revolving wheels.
A new industry has, in fact, arisen. and

CREATING FISH BY LEGIsLATION.-A
communication in yesterdays Gazette
from Mr. Withers Waller an old and
experienced Potomac fisherman, shows
that not only has the price of Potomac
shad and herring decreased, but that the
catch thereof doesn't compare in point
of numbers with that of former years,
though, according 10 the reports Of the
expensive fish commission, shad should
be so plentiful in the river dur
ing the fishing season as to impede navi-
CATION. The number of fish can be in
creased by legislation that will prescribe
the mode by which they NAV be caught.
The demand for them, and consequently
the price, can be increased by varying
the size of the packages in which they
are put up, and by extensive advertising,
both by newspapers and by drummers.-

authorities were obliged to separate parents
from their children and husbands from
their wives, in order that the infection
might not spread. Moloka was in reality
a prison, from which escape was impossible.

houses but tlimsy huts, no decent clothing,
no medical attendance worthy of the name.
