The South Earns a Living.

rary tries..to,di discourage those
.of the people vi the north
who wouldlike to settle some
where in the.southern States.
1t warns them..that "the ter
rible levers Of some parts OF
the South are lar worse than
Northern s.blizzards," an d
that "There is danger that
many persons may he per-
suaded into settling in places
where debts, mortgages, and
invnlidism will he accumulate
ed asTapidly ns in the North
west" Truly, indeed. a per-
son Is liable to catch fever,
or even fall into debt, any
where, more especially if he
should settle IN Il fever-stlick
en- region, or should "bite off
more than he can chew" But
there are vast areas in the
Southern States which are
neither swampy nor lnalar-
iOus; and we do not sea that
there is any more need of
ones incuring obligations
which he cannot meet, in the
South than in the North.
We have never advised any
body to go South. even il he
cannot get along elsewhere.
Ne merely sly that there is
plenty of arabic land in sew
erAl OF the Southern States
which "an be got upon rath,
err easy terms, and that the
new manufacturing indus
tries OF four or FIVE Of these
States may, at TIRES, afford
good opportunities both to
capital and labor. No man
should 90 to any part of the
country about which he is
wholly ignorant for the pur-
pose OF settling in it, and ev-
cry man should try to avoid
any debt which he is unlikely
to.be able to pay. A good
proportion OF mankind have
Il fair share Of sound sense,
and sc me of them are very
shrewd.
The South has suffered less
than the North during the
past two years of hardness.
Nearly all the people there
have been able to earn a liv-
ing, and some of them made
money.

eventually be done, but there
are several reasons why, the
administration has no desire
to do it unless compelled by
circumstances. First, it is
believed that a European
combination has been form
ed for the exp. ess purpose OF
! trying to force a tariff war
in order TO cripple the rapid
ly growing foreign trade of
the United States; second, the
Treasury is in no condition
to lose the revenue which
must necessarily be lost by "a
tariff war with the countries
named; third, the struggling
business interests OF this
country could i'll afford at
this time the entire loss of
the trade Of those countries,
which would almost certain
ly follow retaliation on the
part of this country, and
lastly, these countries all de-
clare that they are not dis

Secretary Gresham believes

remedies betole resorting to
retaliation; but if retaliation
is resorted to it will be car

The Republican editors who
have Jumped on Secretary
Gresham because OF his re-
ported efforts toget' the gov

ignorance. Every admins
tration since that OF Presi

to bring about this arbitra-

effort Secretary Gresham is
not introducing anything

TIE GROWING ISFAMY.
Almost A Riot In the Hoasel
News and Observer.

News and Observer.
A most disgraceful and des
perate scene was enacted in
the hall OF the House Of Rep
lesentatiyes last night. A
burly negro, apparently act
Ing under the order of the
Speaker, stood at the inside
door and held it fast with
both hands, refusing to al
low either ingress or egress.
He was acting as keeper,
and hls purpose was~to pre-
vent Democratic members of
the House from leaving the
hall.
Captain r. B. PEBBLES, mem
ber from northampton, and
Mr.. Lee, member from Hay
wood, came t. the door, and
finding their way barred by
the negro, demanded to he
let out. The negro refused,
and Il struggle ensured, which
came near producinga liot.
Several negroes standing by
rushed t. the assistance OF
the negro door Keeper, while
other by-stnnders took Il
hand in aid Of Capt. PEBBLES
and Mr.. Lee. About eight
or ten people became inv0lv-
ed in Il violent struggle and
surged back and forth in the
House, some trying to pull
Capt. PEBBLES back IN, while
Others tried toopen the door
aTl push him out. Fortu-
nately the door flew open
and hesyas released from his
position. Had not the strug
gle terminated quickly, it is
likely that n serious rot
would hav resulted.
Thus the record of this leg
islaturp closes with the crown
ing infamy of ii hurly negro

violence on Representatives.
of he balls of the Legisla-
ture.
Never before has the State
been brought to such depths
OF humiliation and lnfamy.
Not even in the darkest night
Of Reconstruction WAS the
black hand of the African
laid upon the shoulder Of
men whom >thepeopIe sent as
their representatives.
What is the purpose OF this
Infamous violence?
Is it to provoke blood
shed?
Is it to solidlfy the negro
ny degrading and insulting
the whites?
Was it Il conspiracy spa wn
ed in the afternoon caucus?
Why did the House refuse
to have a white Confederate
soldier us door-keeper and
electinsteada a burly negro?
Why did the General AS
sembly refuse TO adjourn in
honor OF Washington and
Lee and yet adjourn in honor
Of Frederick Douglass?
Why was a negro selected
last night to use physical
violence on white Represent
atives?
There is some Infamous
purpose in this diabolical rec
ord. But it cannot be ac-
complished.
We warn tha colored peo.
pie that they are being used
to kindle Il fire that cannot
easily be extinguished.

An American engineer, +. \. Del
ano, has recently visited the great
freight wards of the London and North
western Railway at Elgehili, near
Liverpool, and speaks rs follows con-
corning his impressions Of the visit:
"The yard at this place, which Is
about two miles long and graded on a
slope of about sixty feet to the mile
from one end to the other, IS de
signed for handling the freight leaving
the city Of Liverpool.
At the head of the yard the level Of
the tracks is some forty feet higher
than the level of the main line, which
ascends from the main Liverpool sta
ton on Il steep grade built through II
rock cut. Lines from five distinct and
widely separated collecting stations IN
Liverpool are necessary to bring the
freight to the top OF the Edgehill
yard, and no sooner have the engines
brought the freight in lots Of thirty
cars to the top Of the hill than the
yurdmen begin to uncouple the cars
and let them roll down hill. As We
watch successive trains it seems rs If
they were cut in ten or twelve places
at once, and the cars are rolling down
the hill like 50 many marbles, just far
enough apart for the expert yardmen
to throw the switches and let them
down to the proper tracks.
Il less time than il takes to tell il
the cars had passed into an interme-
dlate yard, where those for different
stations were grouped together, and il
not stopped entirely or checked by
yardmen applying the handbrRk, s
they continued rolling through the
yard into a debeuturc yard, where the
cars for different stations were assem-
bled i'll station order. The whole
operation looked SO pretty and simple
that it seemed almost like game, and
yet with rs We would hardly like to
see our heavy ears rolling down n hill
in the way those English cars were al
lowed to roll. Louis Globe Demo
