The South and the Boycott.

The extreme evaporation which the
force bill has already created is shown by
the willingness Of a number of southern
communities to take steps looking to boy
cotting northern trade. Enough has been
done or threatened by the Radicals to
arouse the Just indignation Of our people.
and il is not strange that an outlet for this
ireful feeling should be sought in scheme
of retaliation, but we cannot believe that
the movement will be supported by the
sober second thought of our business pub
lie.
To determine neither to buy Of nor TO
sell to the North carries with it a purpose
20 treat friends and foes alike. II is equal
condemnation of Democrats and Republi-
cans in such States as New York, New Jer-
sey, Connecticut, Ohio. and Indiana,
where we have devoted friends by the ten
and hundred thousand. Itproposesa pun
ishment to be visited upon tho guilty and
innocent alike. and is therefore wrong IN
principle.
Furthermore. it is is impossible OF exc
cution, though We oppose 1T not so much
because of its impractibillity as because II
Is unfair. II would be a step. also. IN q
course which would greatly infame the
kealots Of the North and make men now
passive active enemies.
The House has passed the bill. but the
Senate has not and may not, or if 1t does 1t
NAV first amend il in important particulars.
From the best possible sources of informa-
ton we are advised that several Republi.
can senators are opposed TO the measure
and if il is possible for them to resist
party pressure will vote against 1t. We
are not certain that 1T will be defeated
but the accomplishment of this object
can be secured better by expression OF
northern than southern indignation.
The subject was very calmly considered
BY our Chamber Of Commerce and the
conclusion reached was that it would be
"unwise for the South to indicate in adj
vance of the passage of the bill any course
Of action"
This Is our opinion. and we regret to see
that several important commercial bodies
have adopted a different view and CON-
United themselves TO the convention sug-
cested by the Atlanta press. We always
like to be moving arm-in-arm with our
southern sister cities and States. and they
will ever have our sympathy and help,
hut we would like them to await action OF
the Senate before resolving upon a conven'
ton or any course of conduct, particularly
such as is suggestive OF the boycott.
In the numerous valuable interviews
published in our local columns 1t will be
seen that public sentiment sustains the pc
sition Of the Dispatch. and in our kilograms
from Washington and elsewhere are pre-
scented the latest phases of this great ques
ton, both with respect to the prospects o.
the bill and the action of southern com

Absurd rumors Of various sorts have got
ten aAoat Of late among colored people
about our reservoir water, and, repeated
and added to, possibly have done harm to
sick or half-sica people. They all origi-
mated. no doubt, from the spectacle of the
reservoir lake, with its basin about half
filed and its mud-banks, exposed by low
water. reekine and fostering in the sun.
The lake is fed by springs and its sources
have nothing to do with the reservoirs
but il is clearly the duty of our authori-
ties to fill it up. To do this will make a
loss from our supply. but it can be easily
restored by running the steam-pump day
or two.
The river is low, bot for all our purposes
its stream is most abundant. The lake
should be filled at once and its sickly sur
roundings thus removed. Never mind the
cost; the sum will be insignificant and the
money could not possibly be spent better.

The Third District.

When the City Democratic Committee
night before last discussed the various
modes proposed for the election of dele
yates 10 the congressional nominating con-
yention there was no evidence before
them that a primary plan would or could
BE adopted to operate uniformly over the
whole district. and for this reason and be-
cause of the cost involved large majority
voted for precinct meetings. Anumber OF
members were of the opinion. however,
that aside from these two considerations
precinct meetings were preferable. A
stalwart minority adhered to their belief
that the primary system was what the peo-
pie wished and what would he productive
of the best results for the party.
After this action there Is room for very
little further discussion, and we should all
60 TO work now to secure the largest pos
sible attendance at each meeting. Bring
out the voters in great numbers and have
n candid family talk and then choose dele
gates who fairly represent the intelligence
and worth of the party. A convention
composed of such men Will be able TO
net wisely and prudently, and their
nominee will be entitled TO receive the un-
divided support of the Democrats of this
district.
Mr.. GuY was right in thanking the news.
papers for discussing these matters. and
truly said that the popular interest excited
would be productive Of good. When In q
crisis like this our party affairs come 10 be
Of such little consequence as to receive no
attention from the press and cause nc
rivalry Of aspirants il will be evidence that
the mass of voters are Indifferent.
Unless when the convention meets We
lno,r that the force bill IL not TO become
law, we should act in contemplation of it
passing the Senate-that is to say, prepare
for the worst Nothing that we can do K
give strength and enthusiasm to the party
should be left undone. We must put on
best foot foremost, and this desirable
course applies as well to every congress
fional district in Virginia as to the Third
for we are as harmonious and devoted a
any other that we know Of.
In the coming canvass We will great.
fail in our duty if We neglect to work u
bring hack to our ranks estranged brethren
MALONE has alisnated many Of his old sup
porters. HARRISON has disguised thou
sands. The force bill will make other
swell with Indignation. and We will DO adj
20 recruit our numbers from all thes
sources.
TO this end we must direct our after
ton.
