The Prosperity of the South.
Tbe Baltimore Am says and
truthfully too, that the South can
afford to let the partisan politicians
misrepresent and malign her, for
she is able to stand alone and at-tend
to her own business. The cen-sus
shows that she is rapidly gain-ing
in the best sort of population
by tbe influx ol sturdy, uard-work
iug pioneers from the Xorth and
West, as well as trom Europe. She
had no part nor lot in the tremen-dous
"land-grab," by means of
which tbe West aud Northwest
were not only reticulated over with
a comprehensive railroad system,
but landed territory was lavished
npon those sections such as enabled
them to offer irresistible induce
men is to ioreign immigration ; yet,
nevertheless, the railroads of the
South have been repaired, consoli
dated, extended and multiplied in
such a way aa to afford ample,
cheap and convenient facilities for
transportation, aud the best sort of
stimulus to the development of ag-riculture
and manufactures. Ler
gr?at staples, cotton, tobacco, su-gar
and rice, have resumed their
commanding position in the aggre
gate of i lie world's iudispengable
proioeta, and uow yield crops
greater than ever before, while
greater attention to diversified bus
baudry is teaching her people their
ability to feed nnd clothe and sup-ply
themselves, thas giving them
■til the profits realized upon their
leading crops to be applied to their
own uses. Her mineral resources
tie also being developed most rap-idly,
cotton mills, furnaces and
turgi s arc erecting in many sections,
there is a new-* spirit ol thrift and
enterprise observable an.oug near-ly
all classes, attended with that
more uniform distribution of wealth
which is the accepted sign of a
happy people. Under such circum-stances
the outer; of the politicians
against the South is recognized to
lie "a vain thing," the more so from
tin iact thjt it will not be heard
any more after November 2.
The cotton crop last year was
5,OOv,000 bales, the largest ever
raised, aud it is estimated that this
year's crop will exceed last year's
very considerably. In tbe last Uf-
I teen years the cod.in crop has yiel-
' ed at tbe polls nl shipment ail ag

I yet yielding iu surplus, over formei
averages, (as a credit which way
I rightly lie placed to the account ol
free labor,) $600,000,000 in gold.
Iu Arkansas tbe crop lias increas-ed
from 111,11110,000 pounds in 1ST0
I to 318,000,000 pounds in 187$. In
■ Texas the increase has been Iroiu

are small, bul more profitable in

The 8onth Carolina phosphates will
suffice in a generation or two to
renovate and repair half the wasted
old fields of that section. In Louisi-ana,
Texas and Florida the sugar
iudustry is making notable progress
and yielding remarkable profits.
The Louisiana crop last year yield-ed
119,000,000. One planter raised
on 3,287 acres of land 6,840,000
pounds ol sugar ami 7,290 barrels
ol molasses, selling tor $3C5,000.
The Dairy tuple wheat farm iu the
North cousists of 23,000 acres, yet
iU total product was only 8450,000,
or $100,000 less than the Louisiana
planter got from one seventh the
quantity of land. We say nothing
of Florida orange crops, ol. the
countless herds of cattle aud wool
yielding sheepon the broad plains of
Texas, for the facts already adduced
in testimony to the prosperity and
the teeming resources of the South
are euougli to explain why so mauy
cuterprisiug men are pushing
thither from all sections, determ-ined
to put in their sickles ere the
harvest is ripe.
Judge Buxton's Inaccuracies.
[Kaleigh Obaerver, Aug. 18.]
The Judge is a mysterious kind
of a man at best, lie views things
through hie own spectacles, and will
not see public matters as they pre-sent
themselves to tbe eyes of
others. It is one of his favorite alle-gations
on the stump tbat tbe L.-g
islamic was called together to con
sider the Best proposition ou a
pledge that the Democratic party
would pnss it. And ugaiu he
charges that tbe bill was passed
as a party necessity, and in the in
terest of tb» Democratic party.
Without doubt, belore the Legis-latuie
was called together a mini
her of gentlemen iu the Slate, rep
resenlative men, conversant with
the views ol our people, were con-sulted,
and these recommended that
the proposition should be accepted.
But that was no pledge by the par
ty to auythiug whatsoever.
They were acting for what they
deemed to be the best interests' ot
the people of the State, aud the
iuterests o( the Democratic party
were involved only because the in
te.ests of the party and ot the
State are identical. Truly what-ever
militates against one is hurt till
to the other. The Judge confounds
them because he is unable to see
the distinction between them. The
bill was not passed as a party ne-cessity,
but because it was ennsid
eri'.i the beat thing to be done at
that time and under the ciutnn-
StaUCeS for the people ol the Slate.
Many Democrats warmly opposed
P. mnny Republicans warmly la-vored
it. We do not hazard much
in saying that among tbe thinking
people of the State as many Demo-crats
opposed it as Republicans.
As a general rule, the bulk ol both
parties warmly favored it. It was
not. a party scheme. It was a State
measure, advocated on all sides be-cause
tin re was hope that it would
lead to the successful completion of
a great public work without burden-ing
the people with additional I axes.
Bul then the Judge insists tbat
there was great secrecy about the
sale. In this we think be is again
inaccurate. The proposition was
submitted by Mr. Best in Janoaiy,
we believe, and its terms were sub
stantially published. It was reject-ed.
Other terms were offered. As
soon as |«)S»ible there was publish-ed
a bill embodying the new propo-sition,
and the Governor, a! great
length, published an address to the
people on the subject He also
issued a proclamation calling the
Assembly together to consider this
proposition and such olher proposi
tions as might be submitted on the
subject, i'.r weeks the bill was
discussed in the public newspapers
all over the State.
Then, when the Legislature met,
ii was discussed in public meetings
for a week. The Legislature con-sidered
it abou' a fortnight. After
it was passed, Republicans and
Democrats alike voting for it. ihe

CARTHAGE, X. C, Aug. 16, 1880.
—The Governor was met on the
road to this place by an immense
concourse of people iu wagous, in
buggies, ou horsebarck and on foot
Dr. Johu Shaw, President of tbe
Carthago Hancock and Jams
Olub, was Master of Ceteinouies,
and P. II. Kelly was Marshal of the
procession, which, was half a mile
long. Tbe procession marched
through the streets of Carthage,
heartily cheered by crowds ol peo-ple,
ou it's way to Tyson's Hotel,
where a large number of ladies had
assembled to meet the Governor.
Such an ovation was a surprise and
was intensely gratifying to the
Governor.
THE DISCUSSION
was opened here by Governor Jar-vis,
whose speech was full of pith
and point, aggressive trom begin
ning to end, aud made an impress-ion
that will last and will show for
itself at the ballot-box.
JUDGE liUXTON
made the same speech as usual,
tame in manner aud pointless iu
matter. Instead of doing as Gree-ly
advised, be goes Bast Iroiu this
place aud will not again meet Jar
vis in debate. He ig badly back-ed.
MISS BAULK COLE

presented a niaguiliceut boquet ol
Uowers to the Governor, whom
they regard "as a patriot and the
gallant and able protector and de-l.

Visitors to Gen. Hancock.
New York Herald.
A delegation ol sixty-live Texas
business men called on Gen Han-cock
on Momiay, Aug. Hi. The
spokesman of the delegation told
the General that Texas owed him
an especial debt of gratitude,which
the people would, iii a measure, lie
able to repay iu November. Those
present desired to show their re-spect
to him for bis maintenance,
when in command ol their depart-ment
in 1867, ol the supremacy ol
civil over mililaiy law. Gen. Han-cock,
in thanking the delegation lor
their expression oi good feeling and
their cali, said thai he had a due
sense of the kind mention ot his
name iu connection with his second
visit to Texas and claimed no Credit
for his course. In his poblie life he
had simply endeavored to act ac
cording to what he deemed his du
ly. '.'.■• hoped at ii luture day to
take another lide through the Slate.
A voice added : " As President of
the United States." To this he
made no reply.
A delegation of twenty-six busi-ness
men trom Florida also called
on Gen. Hancock. Monday, and as-eared
him I hat he w-.mld carry their
si-vetal districts. The General said
he had an especial attachment to
Florid l. His only daughter, whom
he lost, be said, was bom while be
was stationed at Port Myers, on
the Gall ol Mexico, a few y- ,ns be-fore
the war. Mr.C.o. \V Coving-ton,
of Marviand, Was also 4>u<>ug

I quote the wotds of Gov. Andrews
at tbe last meeting of tbe Connec-ticut

hangs a sad tale, on which one
might dwell at great length, bat I
content myself with a single
thought tbat comes naturally to a
southern man as he looks over these

tread of the young men of New
England to the cities or the praries
of the great West.

reply.

'solid South'—solid for good gov-ernment,
solid against fraud, and
above all solid for the maintenance
ot public credit, State and national"

A Model Candidate.
[New York Sun, Augaal lsili. ISSU.]
The Democratic party has very
t;ooil reason to be satisfied with its
candidate. Thus far he has made
no mistakes.
Nor is this all. Kverything
which has been developed of the
past history of Gen. Hancock re-dounds
to his credit. His letter
to Gen. Sherman alone ought to
elect him. No bribery, no fraud-ulent
transaction, taints his name.
11< appears, by all that is brought
to light about him, to be a man of
sound sense and of a remarkably
clear and intelligent views of per-sonal
rights and of constitutional
law.
If Gen. Hancock continues on
1 the discreet course he has thus far
; pursued, he will be regarded and
spoken of as the Model Candidate.
And there is good reason to
believe that the model candidate
will make a Model President.
The Cape Fear and Tadkln
Valley Railroad.

Judge Bojetoa tells you that he
favors State aid to the Cape Fear
& Yadkin Valley Railroad Will
the Judge say what kind of aid be
means? Judge Buxton replied
that he wa^jpt in favor of an
increase of the public debt but
desired such aid as the State could
afford, extended to the Road, but
that he was not in favor of raising
money taxation for that purpose.
Governor Jarvis resumed. Now
my fellow-citizens you well know
that for the put four years every
shovelful of dirt thrown on a rail-road
bed, every bar of iron
laid on a railroad track, and
every mile of road built in
this State has been done by the
use of convict labor, But for
the Democratic policy of using the
convicts on these works, the Wes-tern
North Carolina Road would
even now end at Henry Station,
at the foot of the mountains, and
your Road, the Cape Fear & Yad-kia
Valley, would still have its
terminus at Egypt As it is, the
mountains have been pierced and
the people of the West put in
communication with the outside
world, and the grading of your
Road has been completed nearly
to Greensboro—it will be there by
the time of the election, and five
or six miles of the grading has
already been completed beyond.
This work has all been done by
convict labor, and but for the ac-tion
of the Democratic party in
putting these thousand idle hands
to work, yoflt children and your
children's ckUdren would have seen
their hair turn gray before their
hopes for the completion of this
outlet would have met fruition.
Now Judge Buxton says he is a
friend of your road. How much
of a friend to the road do you
think a man who voted against the
employing convict labor when it
was evident to any man who could
think that only by it could the
roads ever be completed ? Do
you think a man who voted to
keep a thousand thieves in idle-ness
when only by their labor
these works could be completed, is
much of a friend to the road ? Do
you think such a man would foster
and encourage the work? Did
anybody so vote ? Let ns see.
Up to .1875 these convicts were by
law required to be kept in the
penitentiary. In the convention
of that year it was proposed to so
amend the Constitution as to put
them to work. Ninety-eight votes
were cast in favor of the proposi-tion,
and nine against, and in the
nine was Judge Buxton. Nine
votes were cast against the build-ing
of your road, and one of them
was the man who now claims to
be its staunchest friend. But for
the sale of the Western North
Carolina Railroad, of which the
Judge complains so much, instead
of getting $30,000 out of the $50,-
000 appropriated to your road,
you would never have received a
cent That sale relieved the pres-sure
on the treasury and enabled
you to get so much as you did.
Had the road not been sold there
would have been the same howl
the other way. I called the leg-islature
to consider the proposition
of sale and would do it again under
the same circumstances. _ State
aid builds railroads very slowly,
and if a proposition was made to
me to-morrow by a responsible
party to take your road and finish
itspeedily.I would, if proper guar-antees
were given of the ability
and willingness of the parties to
perform their obligations, call the
Legislature again and advise the
Buxton's Reeord.
