the President takes the unwise ground
tha, trusts aDd combinations must be
suppressed By States, not by the feder-
al government. Ifall the States would
agree, such plan could succeed, but
Virginia had a woeful experience with
separate State action when she attempt
ed to,retaliate upon England before the
formation OF the Union. Some States
would only wait for others to drive
trusts out Of their territory, in order to
invite them into theirs.

THE second session of the Fifty
fourth Congress commenced to-day. 1t
will end on the 18th of March. 1t is
risking nothing to say that the country
will derive no benefit from it, and, in
deed, if all the regular appropriation
bills be passed, it will be sa much as is
expected. With monthly deficit of
eight million and MIR. Reed as
Speaker of the House, the chance
Of any other than the regular

enough to suppose that any thing will

much, if not more property in Cuba
than those of this one, and the consula
Of those countries are az much interest

property and it's owners as those of this
have in protecting American life
and property there. But not only those

SOME NORTHERN people mix with
their abuse OF their Southern enforced
fellow citizens, for supporting the regu-
larly and fairly nominated democratic
ticket at the late election, side slaps at
them for expressing wish that their
children may learn the true history Of
their country, and not be taught by
Northern books that their fathers, who
acted in accordance with the Constitu.
ton and even with the text books used
at West Point unit after the breaking
out of the war between the States,
were traitors and rebels. Their abuse
is not Objectionable to those at whom
it is cast, and true histories of the
country will be used in Southern
schools all the same.
