New Jntl.

Mr.. Editor: The old Jail bias been
condemned and the Circuit Court
issued a mandamus compelling the
Commissioners to take action. 1t
now lies with them to either submit
to the vote of the people, whether
they shall issue bonds or proceed at
once by laying direct levy for
same. We would suggest that the
Commissioner to relieve themselves
of considerable embarrassment, to
place the question before the voters
at our school election in May, as to
whether we shall issue bonds or not;
and that the time of maturity of the
bonds should be short, say from one
to ten years, which would be very
small sum annually to the tax-pay-
ers, and give US a Jail costing in the
neighborhood of s25, 900, that would
be credit to our town and county,
and no burden TO the tax payers, as
it undoubtedly would be, should the
bonds not be issued, and we had
the whole amount to pay in one on
two years. The court house yard
being the proper place for the Jail,
the old Jail and grounds could be
sold, thereby materially reducing
the bonds. Should the matter BIO
placed before the people it would
now carry. x.

The course of Governor Wilson
and the consequent Illness that has
overtaken our Republican friends
will probably result in the opening
up of some West Virginia political
history, of which the following from
the Wayne Nees may be considered
a fair sample:
The Republicans of West Virginia
should be the last to complain. The
records of the State are full of prece-
dents established by them, when in
power, where Democrats justly and
honestly elected were uncerimoni-
ously bounced on grounds far more
fiimsy. w w. Brumfield, of Wayne
county, was ousted from seat in
the Legislature when fairly elected,
by union Democrats, and not only
made to pay the expenses of his de-
Tense but compelled, by the Legis-
lature to pay the costs of the man
illegally thrust into his seat. Such
proceeding is without parallel in
this or any other country. Itsimp-
ly shows what little regard the Re
publicans had for law and justice
when they were in power in this
State.

The New York Herald is now
discussing the Solid South at great
length and with very little sense.
We are ndmonished by that paper
that "there is no prejudice in the
North against the South, but there
is growing irritation because the
Southern States continue to give
Democratic majorities. The Con
gressional delegations from North,
ern States are divided, We are told,
and those from Southern States
should be divided too, and that un-
til the Solid South is broken there
will be Solid North against it.
The Herald is great newspaper,
but it is long way off from infalli-
bility. From the tenor of its editor
ials since the elections of last fall il
appears to be earnestly endeavor-
ing to court the favor of the victori-
Gus party. The assertion that ''there
is no prejudice in the North against
the South" is not true. We all
know that Northern Republicans
made the bloody shirt the principal
issue of every Presidential campaign
up to 1884. Whenever there was
a shadow ON the sky that portended
Republican disaster, 1t, was only
necessary to sefire the Northern
heart" against the Southern people
to cause the shadow to disappear
For people without prejudice the
promptness of this response to APP
peals to prejudice was wonderful.
In the last campaign we saw the
agricultural States of the Northwest
voluntarily surrendering the advan-
tages which they would have gained
by reduction of the tariff, for the
reason that the South advocated a
revenue tariff, by giving increased
Republican majorities.
There scarcely a prominent Re-
publican newspaper published in
the North which does not seize up
on and exaggerate the occasional
indiscreet utterances of foolish men
like Rosser, and misinterpet the
spirit of the orations which brave
men who were Confederate soldiers
deliver over their fallen comrades
upon memorial occasions.
Northern Republicans loudly and
persistently advocate a policy which
would put the negroes and carpet
baggers in the saddle again, though
they know how heavily that curse
lay upon the South during the re-
construction period. 1t is not
strange that Southern people fail to
appreciate this sort of kind regard,
for truly it passes all understand
ing.
With the negro problem solved
there are several Southern States
which the special plea OF protected
industries would give to the Repub-
lican party; but SO long as that par
ty allies itself with the negro race
against the white in the South, no
industrial advantages which they
might derive will or should be great
enough to cause Southern people to
invite the curse of negro domination
by breaking away from the Demo
cratic party.
When the Republican party feels
the kindness it processes for the
South, OF when in the course of
years the negroes are fitted by edu-
cation for exercising rights and
bearing the responsibilities which
were thrust upon them too soon, the
Solid South will be broken, and not
till then. Ignorant and presumpti-
ons advice cannet hasten the hour.
