GEN. THOMAS DECLINED.
Letter Which Makes Clear His Position
Regarding the South.


RICHMOND, VA, May 5-The following very
remarkable letter of General George H.
Thomas, heretofore unpublished. was to-day
discovered among some of the stored-away ar
chives of the State Capitol here:
NEW YORK HOTEL. March II 1861.
To His ExcelIency, Governor j. Ohm Letcher, Rich
mond, Va:
DEAR SIR received yesterday letter from
Major Gilham, of the Virginia Military Institute,
dated the 9th instant, in reference to the position
OF Chief of ordnance of the State in which he in

Southern Progress.

The people who have for Ave years been
constantly predicting that the South could
not keep on in its steady march of pro-
gress must be amazed by this time to see
that despite their croakings, despite Wall
street financial manipulations, despite low
prices for iron and all other causes that
one might suppose would retard its devel
opn ent, the South moves forward with an
ever accelerating rate Of growth. Nothing
seems to retard it. From the Potomac
river to the Rio G snde there is an ever
widening industrial development, rapid
improvem mt in the financial condition of
the farmers, great activity in the build
ing of railroads, fine hotels, costly dwell
ings and splendid business structures. and
steady increase in prosperity. From
the boundless stores of hidden riches in
it's hills and mountains the South is
creating wealth more rapidly than was
ever done before in any part of this conl-
try, and yet the work has barely com-
mencsd. The record of the last nine
months shows the organization of upwald
of 5000 new enterprises, including almost
every line of industry from the saw anil
to great steel and iron works, and the last
quarter of the year bids fair to be the most
active ever seen in the South.-Mdnufac-
turers' Rec I'd.

Important Decisions.
RENDERED BY THE MICHIGAN SUPREME
COURT ON CoLoRbD PEOPLES RIGHTS.

RENDERED BY THE MICHIGAN SUPREME
COURT ON CoLoRbD PEOPLES RIGHTS.
LANs1r G, Mich, Oct. III Associated
Press. The supreme court has rendered
a very important opinion affecting the
rights of black people in public places.
One person, colored, with a friend, entered
a restaurant in Detroit, of which man
named Giles was proprietor. Seating
themselves at table waiter informed
them that they would be compelled to take
another table, as the one they had taken
was for white people, and if they would
move as requested. they would be served.
This they refused, demanding service at
the table at which they were sitting. The
proprietor admitted discrimination be-
tween white and black people and claimed
that he had right to make such dis
elimination. Plaintiff brought suit in the
Wayne Circuit Court for damages, was
defeated and appealed to the Supreme
Court. The court holds that the colored
man is citizen under the constitution and
can not be Disseminated against in public
places, and says that the only question
that should have been considered in the
lower court was out of damages. Justice
Moody writes the opinion, the others con-
cur.

Two Sweet Girl Graduates.

Two sweet girl graduates went forth to
walk in the woods. In their holiday MOOD
all roads were one to them, ana when
they came to cross road they turned into
it, A hunter who happened to be stand
ing near spoke to them.
"Don't take that road, young women,
he said sit isn't safe"
"Why isn't it safeI' asked the sweetest
of the girl graduates, incredulously.
Because bear has lately gone up that
way"
'How do you know that? Did you see
the bear7'

trail :" and the hunter pointed to foot
prints on the ground.
The girl graduates carefully examined
the tracks, and said one to the other ::
"They don't look like the prints of bears
paws. Do you think they are?"

what their tracks would look like. 1don't
think these look the least like the foot
prints of bear. Bears have claws, and
there are no marks of claws here"
| "Who ever heard of bear without
claws?" said the other girl graduate, with
a whitening glance at the hunter.
"What kind of tracks he they then,

the sweet girl graduates, supercillousiy
"They certainly are not The tracks of s

nothing. The sweet girl graduates went
on their way.

SHALL BE SATISFIED.


After the toll and turmoil,
And the anguish Of trust belied,
After the burden of heavy cares,
Bafled longings, ungranted prayers;
After the passion and fever and fret,
After the aching Of vain regret,
After the hurry and heat of strife,
The yearning and tossing that men call life"
Faith that mocks, and fair hopes denied,
shall ba satisfied
When the golden howl is broken
At the sunny fountain side,
When the turf lies green and cold above
Wrong and sorrow and loss, and love;
When the great dumb walls of silence stand
At the doors of the undiscoverei land
When all we have left In our oden place
Is an empty chair and pictured face;
When the prayer Is prayed and the sigh is sighed
shall be satisfied
