New York, March 31.-In its forthcom-

Confederate raider, on THE Dawn of the
Real South in which he says:
THE real South is just at its birth. The
growth of this child Of the nation may be

far richer and more powerful than the
North. In the days to come the South
will become the dominant section of the

South could never have hoped to attain
the future that is now certain Slavery
was a great incubus, paralyzing natural
energy. By abohshing this wrong our war
benefited every state south of the Mason
and Dixon line, The negroes are produc-
ing more as freemen than they ever did
as slaves, and the great mass of the
people are better off to-day than they
were under the old ante-bellum system
Socially. as we'll as industriaHy the
abolition of slavery was highly beneficial
in its results to the masses, for slavery
was a great wrong. and no community
can exist in the highest state of happi-
ness when its systems are based on a
wrong.
There are the soundest reasons for
asserting that the negroes status is bound
to improve. While they are not as near
to equality with white people as they
were under the system of slavery, they
are certain to be absorbed by immigration
and in this engulfment they will disap-
pear. This is the natural and wisest So
luton of what we now call the race
problem.
Richmond is the city most likely to be-
come in time the banking center and COM
merciaI headquarters of this country, and,
therefore, of the world. The days of
that famous old city as a political capt.
tai are past; but its career as the CEN
trail point of manufacture for the whole
South. and from there for the world at
large, is just beginning.
While great forces have been working
for the change, industrially and socially,
the political change is hardly less mark

Hayes became the Republican candidate

men to support him because, If he were
elected his administration must neces-

was better for the Southern people to di-
vide between the parties, so that. no mat
ter which side won, there would be men
friendly to Southern people who would
control it's Southern policy. This conten-
