representative Oates, of Alabama,
??ays h> believes the North's animoeity^to
wards the South is stronger now than at
any time during the last fifteen year-.,
and that organizatiocs of veteran?
ar-d of tho SOD3 cf veterans actual
?y marched as such under political baanerf
duritg the recent political campaign. I'
all this be -o, and unfortunately there is noi
sr.tich ground to doubt it, the fate of lb*
country is by no means enviable, for bau
naturally begets hate, aid hate so n mai
:f< Eta itself by overt acts. Mr. 0 .tes'a rem
edy is a foreign war; but if the aoimoriiy
referred to tquai bis repiesei tatiocs, it i?
not beyond the range of possibility that
each a remedy migbt be even worse than
the disease.
The LONG tUnding strike on the Chicago.
Burlington and (t>uincy K-iilroad has at last
been declared off. The railroad will retain
ali the employees who took the places
of the sfiikeis, and will promote them to Gil
vacancies but agrees that ?heu it shah
want more hands it will not discriminate
agsin^t such cf the etrikers as have not
resorted to violence, Such a termination d
tr>*> strike, in view cf the trouble at-d incon
vecfence, if not actual sufTerlcg, to which
tot- rtr.keis have been siiVj^cted by the los?
of a year's wages, naturally suggest the en
quiry. why was it ever begtiu ? Tbe rail
road com-lany will make up its ioss by i. ?
creasing its charge* and reducing the wag?
it pajs: but the strikers can never make up
theirs. _
A NEGRO io Florida says he tbmkr th
beet wjy to settle the Southern (juestion
would be to coloniz ? the neurons of the
South io the Northern States. To remov?
al! the negroes from the South to tho North
would effectually settle the Southern ques?
tion, for then tbe South would soon be
filled by white people from the North, but
it would immediately raise a Northern
question, compared to which the ex .-ting
Southern question is a bagatelle, for the
Northern people would not endure half thi
annoyance and trouble, naturally incident
to race prejudices, which their Southern fel?
low citizens have borne so lung and so pa
lientiy._
divorce, that is. tandem polygamy, ha*
be:ome such a prevalent custom in the
North that both the pres- and pulpit of that
section are rairing their voices against it.
and are advising the adoption of variou
means for its suppression, though neither
has as yet suggested as one of those means
the exclusion of the States in which the ob
noxious custom is practic-jd from the Union
as they both do in respect of L'tab, when
polygamy is not to prevalent, and where i
is conducted, not oa the tandem, but on the
abreast plan._
Jcdoe HffiHEs, of the U. S. Court, bav
ing no?idea of retiring from the beuch dur
ing hisalloted term, it may not be amiss to
say that be has most abiy and satisfactorily
filled the position, and that his decnion
and rulings have met with tho approbation
of those capable of giving righteous judg
ment in legal matters. The judge has an
active and brilliant mind and is in no way
swayed by personal feelings. His most bit?
ter political opponents must concede li?
ability and impartiality.
