I'rom the aVfic York Truth, (Tnd) anient.)
I'or many months nasi Reoublienii
jouinals throughout the country have
teemed with cmotaltons from an obscure,
paper published in Mississipi, called the
Okolonti Slitte. Its utterances reeked
with ribaldry and treason. It advocated
the most pernicious doctrines and flllcil
its columns with insult to the Union and
its people. Evirnets from this naoer
were everywhere heralded by the Re
publican press as an expression of the
real feeling and sentiments existing at
the South, and doubtless contributed no
little toward spreading such erroneous
belief among the Noithern public.
During a long period the natient in
habitants of Okolona and its vicinity
were content to view its editor as a
harmless and amusing idiot, little dream
ing that his absurdities would ever pene
trate beyond the little circle in which
they were laughed at. In time, howev
er, and that ery icccntly, they learned
better learned how systematically and
infamously they had been liiisii'iiriisniii-
cd and insulted learned how they were
coining to be regarded as a desperate
gang of partisan cut throats, instead of
a peaceful body of farmers as they are.
I hey commenced to inquire, into the per
sonality of tins reel-hot editor, who ho
was. and whore ho camo from; and soon
found out that he was a Northern impor
tation, with u very hazy history. In
their righteous indignation they" rose,
and it was not many daws befoic he was
making the fastest time on record across
the Ohio river. Since then the Ukohmti
State has been dumb.
Tin; most prominent among tho west
ern newspapers which has given wide
spread publicity to tho Okolona editor's
infamous insults was that staunch Re
publican journal the Chicago Tribune,
and strangely enough, when the fleeing
editor landed it was in its sanctum.
where he has since been engaged us a
member of its staff.
Now, the inference is unavoidable that
this red handed rebel, who wanted to
use the American (lag as a door mat,
shoot every negro, and lynch every white
man who voted tlio liepulilican ticket,
refuse to pav taxes, and re establish the
Confederacy with saintly Jeff Davis as
its Chief Incentive, was, after all. only
a paid lit publican spv, m the service of
some of tho unscrupulous maiing ers of
thatpaity
2m is this tlio only case. A lew
years ago an almost similar instance oc
curred in one-of tho parishes of Louisi
ana. In fact, ibis sort of thing seems
tobeupait of the Hi publican tactics,
ami doubtless the entire South is now
being stuffed full ol ju-t such menda
cious liohemiaus iitstiueted to misinter
pret and misrepresent spci chest made in
the South by its prominent leaders to the
same extent that Wade Hampton's silly
vaporiugs were recently toitmed at
Staunton, Va. There can no longer be
doubt that the Republican leaders'
stock in traibi will be made up largely
of just such manufactured evidence. The
bloody shiit is the only standard they
can carry into 'the contest; and as the
Southern people refuse to wave it, hired
scoundrels will bo sent into their midst
to wave it for them.
In encoii, eiing this disreputable
mode of wa' fare, thinking people should
lecolleet that whatevertho Southern peo
ple may be fthey are not absolute lools
nor stone blind to their own interests.
fter their bitter lesson of fifteen years
ago, they naturally have no desiro to re-pi-atit.
The doctrine of secession is as
lead with them to-day as tho Alien and
Sedition law of John Adams is with tho
n'Ople of tho North. If anyone tells
them that Hancock fought for the same
principles that Lee mid Jackson fought
tor, they will set bun down as a liar.
All the money in John Sherman's coffers
would not induce them to consent to tho
re-establishment of slavery even were it
possible, which it is not. Thev raise the
staples cheaper and aro making mme

In all the stalwait organs and from
every republican slump the c hanges me
rung 011 the old times abmii the payment
of the rebel debt, for rebel pensions, anil
for the emancipated slaves in case of
Democratic success in tlio November
elections. It is sinm-whit humiliating to
gravely discuss 'iieh . r.itit nonsense, but
as it is tho only political ipitnl of the re
publican editms .on! oiatcMS it cannot be
jiassed by with complete silt rce. as gn at
as is the scorn and cniU,ii'l vvliich it
inspiies.
For several yean after the civil war
Southern '-outi-a ' s." the Ivn-kluv, and
the White Leaguers wcie the means of
terrorizing loyal audiences in the bloody
sniii campaigns. liut with tlio over
throw of carpet-bag rule 'Did the rest or
ation ot selt-governm, :il iti the South
the Ku-khix ceased t" limit the imairiiia
lions of the rcpublic.in editors, and the
supply of "outrai , has wholly disnp-
leared. In this sitttateui the republican
leaders havebeeii thiovvii back upon their
iiiiapmaicil scarceiovvs o! icbel debt,
rebel pensions, and payment for slaves.
To accomplish thea- ii-eailf'd ends it is
further asserted tint the Demociats
nii-aii to pack the S ij ieme ('mil with
judges who will declare the ameiidiiient.s
to the Constitution mill and void.
Stalwart proofs in regard to the debt ;
Since the close of ti e hit huge numbers
of claims for losses have b-'eii filed bv
southern RepresiM,t;itjv(-,, ;M Congress.
Proof in regard to rebel piMisinns :
All ignorant nnd illiterate ex confederate
soldier in South Cnrolina, named Hanna,
has been hoaxed into tiling an applica
tion for a pension in the bureau at
Washington.
Proof in regard to compensation for
slaves; An ex-slaveholder in the in
terior of Georgia some years ago filed in
the court of his county "n list of his for
mer slaves with the age and value of
each.
Arguments like these with such proofs
to sustain litem will excite ihe smiles of
the iiitelligent,biil campaign documents
containing the application of the poor ex
c.onfcdeiale soldier tor a pension and the
list of the slaves f the back country
man of Georgia have been issued by the
republican congressional committee by
tons.
Answer 1. Tho sixteenth amendment
to the Constitution ot the United States
declares that, "neith"i' the United States
nor any state shall assume or pay any
debt or obligation it'ciinvd in aid' of in
surrection or rebiilionnr;,-uu-,ithe United
States, or any claim lor the loss or eman
cipation of any slave ; but all such debts
obligations and elai. us ska'1 beheld ille
gal and void." To appeal the amendment
would require the vote of two-thirds of
each house of congtess and the consent
ot three-forths of the states. How is
that consent lobe obtained'.' If any
party in congress should agitato tho dis
tmhancu of the settlements of the war
it would be overwhelmed at the succed
ing election.
2. It is most ridiculous to as-crt. that
the supreme court of the United States
can call in question tho validity of the
amendments to ihe constitution of the
United States. They ,'no as sacred as
any other part of the' constitution and
can be revoked only by the popple them
selves aceordiiiK t""tb" methods prescri
bed for its amendment. No man who
values his loputaiion a., a lawyer would
havethe hardihood to maintain that the
supreme court of tin United States can
determine the va!nl;t nr the ienilaiily
of the adoption of anv'ol ihe amendment's
lo the conslitutn.i To a -11 1 this is to
grossly libel the orgae'e l.u, of the land.
Yet upon this stupid ti.'.iiiii llu republi
can editors and oral i,r.,e their ehar-'cs
that the Denioeialic pailj mi an to over
throw the ainendiiieiiis to the constitu
tion and thus open the .lour for the pay

A few days ago I attended a meeting
which has been called to organize a new'
board of trade in this city. This had
been rendered necessary, in view of tho
rapid nntl unprecedented increase in tho
grain production of the state. Compe
tent judges estimate the wheat crop in
this state for this jcar at 31,000.000
bushels, valued, at a low estimate, at
821.000,000. This is less than 89 cents
a bushel. 'The present price is 85 to S7J
according to grade. It may go higher
Less than 100 days ago no "part of this
great wealth existed. In tho words of
one of the speakers of the occasion :
"Little more than ninety days ago, a
bushel of gia'ni placed in tho fruitful
soil, by dew and rain and sunshine, and
that unknown ami incomprehensible pro
cess called life and giovvth, has dcvel-
n ieil to twenly bushels. Tho seed sown
in Minnesota in April has matured 111
August into over forty millions of bush
els of golden grain. Out of the gener
ous soil from darkness and obscurity and

the golden xlopos of the Pacific have
ever in a single j car lifted so much of
the yellow metal from out of their
mines "

This is interesting reading, because it
is true ami because it is a most gratify
ing exhibit for a state so young and so
sparsely settled as Minnesota. 'There aro
now about three thousand miles of rail
road in the State and more are building
eonstattily. St. Paul handled last year
one million bushels of oats, two million
bushels of corn, and nearly a million
bushels of wheat. This year it is said
tlie.e ligmes will lie neatly doubled
New elevators arc being ereeti'd among
the railroads in this immediate vicinity,
building in the city is very active'. 11 mag
nificent Union depot is now being con
structed for the use of the railroads cen
tering here, ant! as the last and best evi
dence of a healthy activity in business,
all the hotels are crowded to their utmost
capacity. I ho population of St. Paul is
li, Lu, while her sister city Minneapo
lis, six miles west, boasts '18.201. Near
ly a hundred thousand people in two cit
ies that could boast but a low vears ago
not over seventy thousand between them.
This lapid and continuing increase in
population is based on the material pro
polity of the state and tbo growing
wealth of the people.
i was very jorcihly impressed with a
doubt expressed 111 0110 of tho speeches at
the board of trade meeting, whether tho
Pacific slope had ever in a single year
produced enough money from its mines
to buy this year's Minnesota wheat crop.
As a matter of fact, the Pacilio coast
has in one or two years produced MitTi- ..
client to buy this crop. Rut al what a
cost in money, in manhood, in moral
character, ami what wrecks have been
left in it wake! Tho lesson of Minneso
ta suggests a moral and a contrast. It
shows what may be accomplished in a
very few veal's in a virgin county. Hun
dreds of foreigners whom 1 lcmeinbercd
as coining into Minnesota nearly ten
years ago, with barely enough money to
tiring them bete, are iiow the owners of
line farms; they have money in bank,
they have cattle ami a house and barn
and are on tho high road to fortune.
I tough, uncouth, unlettered, and unlearn
ed when they arrived here, they are now
exerting an influence in local affairs.
Many of them hold ollicial positions in
the counties where they reside. Thev
are all bright, enterprising, frugal, hard
working aud good citizens. Each knows
that he is a unit of the wholo pcoplc,and
as goon -as any one. Ambition Sinn's
some of them to be a ittle better. If
Swedes, Danes. Gemmns and Niiwe
gians can do this, why not some of the
thousands of mir native-born citizens
who arc holding ou hy their eyelids to
chance in New Yoik,'with every pros
pect and an ever present lcar that they
may at any moment drop into the gulf
of hopeless and helpless hatikiuptcy'f
Minnesota offcis rare advantages. After
an experience of very nearly five years
in travel through the West", and a" resi
dence of over thiee years in California, I
iccogiiize tlie coming greatness of Min
nesota. As a wheat-iaising State it will
undoubtedly surpass California in a few
yens. In the latter State thcio is never
any assurance from one ear to another
that a full crop will be hai vested. A dry
winter upsets all calculations. In Mill,
nosotn a fair crop may be depended on
with absolute certaintv. and an extraor-
linary yield very frequently.
