Ills have no Fourth of July in the Suuth. That day, like the birth day of Job bus bocomo hatuf til to us. Lot It "Krish," and "be darkness." "Let darkness and the Bhadow of dcnlh' stain it," so long as, liko Job, the South sit J "down among the ashes." We mado tho Fourth of July ; began it in old Meeklouburg, North Carolina, and finished it at Yorktown, and put tho cap-stone on it at Phila delphia, on the 17th of September, 1787. It was our birthday I JVoic, it is "diatoyul" for a Southern man to ut ter the trntimrnts of (he Declaration of Colonial Independence, and if ho should dare to do so at a Fourth of July mcotingof Hadicals in tho North, ho would bo hissed and hooted at, and denounced as a "traitor I" For at tempting a practical assertion of the prin ciple! of the Revolutionary era, tho South ern Status have boon subjected to a. most cruel and devastating war. Tho flower of their manhood and youth hns boon cut down with tho sword. Their proporty destroyed. Their Colds luid wasto. Their temples and houses burned down. Their women outragod. Their gravoyards desecrated 1 Sixteon years of bloody persecution and worso than vandal outrago have only whut ted the appetite of such fiendish mon sters as Jim Blaine, such human blood hounds as Chamberlain. Hayes is set upon for having a man's heart In his bosom, instead of that of a demon. It is with these, his crimo that ho would plant flowers upon tho graves of his slaughtered countrymen, and guard them from tho depredations of such hyonaB us they aro. No Southern Stnto did every provoke tbo war upon herpooplc. It stands tho ovorlubting conilumnati'in ot her murderous invaders that the South iciia ever faithful to our Constitutional ob ligations. Sho at no time and in no way inflicted a wrong of any sort upon her porfidious Northorn Contedoratos. Tho gonitis of hatred itself has novcr dared to impeach her good faith by tho'im- putation of a solitary act or that remot est purpose of 'njnry to any Northorn Stuto or citizen. No ono of tho illus trious citizens of Sothorn States who havo adorned tho rrosidontial office noithor Washington, nor Jofrerson,nor Madison, norMonroo, nor Jackson,nor Polk, nor Taylor, nor Tylor not ono of them ever proposed a measure of government which couM injuriously affect the rights of any sort of person or property, of any individual citizen of a Northern Stato, or the rights, dignity or charnctor of any Northorn Stato. No Southern majority ot the Senate or any committee of the Senate, no singlo Sonator of any Southern Stato ovor suggested or voted for any policy or measure ol government in jurious to tho rights or character ol tho Northern people Tho samo may be justly said of tho House of Repre sentatives and its members. On the' othor hand, it is true thut Northorn States, Trosidonts, Con gressional Committoos, Sonators and Representatives, did porsistontly vio late ilieir Constitutional obligations, did wago a ccaBcloss war opon the proper ty rights, the prosperity and character of tho Southorn States and pooplo. They defied the Constitution, and dis regarded tho laws ol Congress passed in pursuance of its provisions. Tho Suprome Court was not respected. Tho North systematically pursued tho most selfish policy, insisted upon ex clusive intorosts, plundered Southern labor to build up local industrios and enrich hor capitalists. Tho laws of Vermont and Massachusetts, making it a highly penal offense, punishablo with long terms in the penitentiaries, and oxhorbitaut fines of thousands of dol lars, foruny porson who should attempt, even under the authority of the Fed eral Constitution and laws, to retain a fugitive "slave" for rendition, the utter rejection ot the doctrines and duties asserted by tho Drod Scott decision, tho open declaration of Mr. Lincoln and his party, that tho Southern "slave holder" should not carry his "slaves'1 into tho common territories, that "slavery" should be restricted, and tho plain intention to ultimately abolish it in tho Statos, with the consequent wur of coercion, tho final abolition ot "slav ery" and tho brutal, wicked, cruel, ty rannical system and processes of "re construction," proclaim, with tho voico of a thousand trumpets and of "many waters," tho porfldy and Injustico and cruol dispositions of tho North towards tho South. TAi'j is the truth of historv. which no man can gainsay without avoio- ing himself a fool or a liar and a slander er! If wo could forgot this frightful past, and fraternize with theso faithless, Pharisaical fanatics and fratricidal fiends, how can wo shut our eyes to such deliberate declarations of hostili ty to tho Southern pooplo as tho lato speech of Blaine and Woodstock con tains? Blaino, drawing the conclusion of his own false heart, discredit the de claration of Hayos and his Cabinet, that tho ohjoct of government in Its orders to protoct our Southwestern border from Moxican raiders, is not to annex Moxican territory. A liar and a thief himself, he imagines such mon aa Evarta and Schurx to be no bettor than ht Is. With him "all men are villains," and as Dr. Johnson said, he is a good judgo of one man." Ho is a guilty coward, and quails before tho consolidated strength of the sixteen Statos that were lately "slbveholding." "This," he says, "is a tremendous po litical force, embodying almost ono half the Scnata of tho United States, more than one-third of tho llouno of Representatives, and almost two fifths of the aggregate Electoral College." Wlion be says tho aim of the South is to wield this "trcmondons political forco" with "the unity of a political despotism," and with a view to a "per manent domination in the government of the country," he simply lies in his thronl Tho South has no aims "out sido of tho Constitution," no policy but one which looks to the peace and pros perity of every swlion of this great I country. Her heart Is patriotic, her "head level," and if hor hand is strong, it is so for tho common weal, and to crush the viperous traitors who, like the iiif'umoui Jim Blaine, would fire the Tumplo of Liberty fur an inglori ous immortulity. Tho Suuth has never linen tleunntirnl Site tlMrVrlirt, rtftiiro rights under the Constitution. Evor ready to portorm her duties In good faith, sho demands an iinpartiul ad ministration of the government, in the intercut of tho wbelo country, and under tho sacred guarantees of tho na tional "compact."

Sampoud, IJVi Y TUE SOVTI1 IS A T PEA CE Wo are glad to see tho South kept free from thisconfliet, which isdostroy ing business in tho North. Deploring such conscquonccs anywhere, we may feel deeply gratified that we are com paratively frco from disorder, crime and violence. Wo must suffer to somo extent, but there aro many reasons why the South will not be seriously affected by theso troubles. Tho hard school through which we have passed has taught tho South economy and selt relianco. Tbat was tho first great lesson, and wo resisted it as long as possible. Tbo Southern people are nearer out of debt than evor beforo in the history of this couutry. As an agricultural pcoplo tho proportion of those who produce the necessaries of life is very large. Wo lack an elomont ot prosperity in lacking tho luborint; population of tho North, but in luck ing it at such a time, wo lack an elo mont of temporary weakness. In prosperous times they contribute to tho well-being of society by furnishing a market. When times are hard and tbey are out of work, they become consumers only. Then they uro only a drain. An agricultural community can al ways stand panic, failure, depression, war, any misfortune better than one of commercial and industrial popula tion. o aro solf sustaining, we can if need be almost live within ourselves, and ovon prosper. Thoreforo, while deploring tho trouble which has fallen upon our neighbors and brethren, wo should also look to sco if we may not reasonably hopo that wo may bo spared any groat suffering. Of course in tho gush of restored fraternity wo are ready to walk with our brethren through tho fiery furnaco and puss through tho valley of tho shadow of (loath, if necessary, it wo can't help it But then we would prefer to bo spared additional suffering. Wo havo had enough of it, and if wo can sco our way clear to oven profit out of tho misfortunes which wo liuve had nothing to do with, then wo must, as a duty to ourselvos, go on building up our lines of trade and our own manufactories and becomo solf sustaining, and oven furnish our suffering brethren with supplies at thnso remunerative prices which men aro constrained to exact. Temporary stagnation, in some chan nels of business, wo will feel in the South, but there is nothing in all this to alarm tho South. If tho troublo is remedied it will bo tho restoration of a prosperity in which wo will share. If it goes on wo will acquire new aolf- rolianco in adjusting our business to meet it, and become daily ntoro self- supporting. Tho laboring men should seo that they do nothing to retard a prosperity which thoy will share, and tho strikes and riots in the North cannot prevent it. If they will madly cut each other's throats, wo aro sorry. We give them our sympathy, hut let us decline to en gago in the business we bavo othor work to do. We have a great and glorious Cold hero which will bear a good harvest fur all in a very short time. Kashvillc American. In bis forthcoming book Jeff Davis will assail (ion. Joo Johnston bocause he didn't tako Washington. Wo think the majority of Amoncans will be more inclinod to endorse Johnston. Tho New York Herald's Long Branch correspondent thinks that Grant's presence at that placo was worth to it 1500,000 a season, and his absence is that much of a loss. Sad, oh sad. If it's true that (ion. Suhenck op poses the President's policy then look out. No man can play tho Dtxci with more telling effect than GO. Schonck. "Burying the hatchet" is all right, but when it is buried in a man's head there is something to be said on tho other side. what mi aii na doxk ton LABOR t The restoration of luw and order throughout tho country, after the most widespread and fornilduble upheaving the country has every witnessed, must direct tho attention of overy sincere r It. hf' turbauco and the proper remedies u bouppliod. The clans of average idiots who are usually first heard on such disorders aro ready, on tho ono side, to call for a standing army and a swift bullet and keen bayonet against riot ing laborers, and 6n the other aide, for u national1 bureau and practical parti tlou of property with those who prefer lawlessness to lubur. All suuh will bavo no voice in the solution of thu grave problem suddenly presented to thu American people. There are some sell-evident pooplo of our industrial disorders which must bo louked squarely in tho fuco. Tbey ore 1. We havo a millionaor moro ol honest, willing laborers, eiiihracine pooplo in all pursuits and grades of business, who cannot now obtain em ploy men t at all; there aro not less than a million who bavo but partial employment and most inadequate pay. and there are a million more struggling against adversity and want from day to day in vain efforts to muko their business remunerative. 2. juo uiiiioaitny iniluiion ol war gathered thousands of skilled laborers in manufacturing and mining centres becauso thoy wore needed and could be well paid. With whul seemed to be substantial prosperity, luxury grew up to didtouipcr labor, and idleness sowed its seeds in thoughtless hours. Now tbo stimulated lido has fallen ; trade has ebbed back to its origiuul channels ; mills have stopped ; furnaces havogone out; forges have been silenced ; mines havo been put on half production, and operators and transporters aro in bankruptcy or struggling to oxist with out tho hope ol interest or capital. Tho laborer remains, and labor has vanished. There aro two or three men for every man's work, and tho little that can be done, must be, done at starvation prices, and there is tho discontent that is bred by despair. 3. There is no hopo of permanent employment of our now idle labor in its present localities, at any lime in tho near future. This vital truth must ho ignored. Theorizo as thu wittiest of dreamers may, tho whole surplus rov onues of tho railroads and other corpor ations of all kinds employing labor, even under tho most economical direc tion, would not givo wages to the sur plus labor in our cities and once pros perous industrial centres. A million mon who were only consumers during the war, are now producers ; the in calculable waste of war is ended, and sovero economy has taken the placo of profligacy in both publio and private circles. 4. There can bo no permanent relief for surplus labor until itshull bo diffus ed and diversified. There are ton tuousaud more adult men and women in Philadelphia to-day, who have lived by their industry, than can be employ ed cither now or under any ordinary condition of things during the next ton years. There aro ten thousand or more in tho anthracito coal region who cannot hopo to find labor at living wages during tbo present generation ; und so it is in tho manufacturing por tions of tho State, and throughout tho whole bituminous coal section. Agri culture is tho only pursuit that can now employ its full complomont of la bor, and machinery is yearly lessening its demand fur laborers. There are certainly fifty thousand laboring mon and their families in Pennsylvania who muBt bo diverted into other pursuits, or to virgin fields of industry before they can hope to be prosperous. Tbo samo is true, to a greater or less ex tent, of all Now England, and the Con tra! Slates from tho Atlantic to tbo Mississippi; and the fact that it ia true of Indiana and Illinois, where thore are cheap and fruitful lands on which tho laborer can always live, proves how skilled labor and its attending unskilled associates, prefer to suffer and starvo in their desolato shops and mines rather than accept a now occu pation. 6. Tlioro must bo a remedy. Tho intelligent, honCst labor of the country wants not platitudes no Communistic eloquence, nor tho up rooting of our social system ; but they do want Work. They cannot bo supplied by privato ontcrpriso, for it is paralyzed and capital bos fled from disordor. They cannot havo it directly from the government, fur that would bo the end of both labor and govornmont. They cannot subsist on charity, fur the efforts of the charitahlo would bo un availing to food the tens of thousands who cannot now find employment. What, therefore, shall bo done for la bor? Much may and must bo done in every community whore thore is enforced idleness. It is a duty that will plead its claims as never beforo, as the au tumn frosts lull of tho coming winter with its nnspcakablo sorrows to the poor, r.very person who bos labor to be done, oven it tho necessity shall not bo immediate, should have it done now to tho full extont of his ability to pay for it. Noedod improvomonla of all kinds can now he dono moro economi cally than ever before, and labor can thus be saved from gnawing want and humiliating dependence. This is a duty that nono should disregard, for it will pay in dollars and cents, and give broad to the helpless. Lot not each apply this rule to his neighbor. Lot all, bowevor limited his or her means, understand that the call Is to every one who is blessed with the abun dance that has something to spare. Tho government can and must turn from the needless reduction of tho publio debt and quicken the Industry that is the fountain of our national wealth. Thore are public Improvements on hands in nearly every city.and olhor legitimate and nocessary improve ments in various sections of the Union. Thoy can be economically prosecuted with vigor now and do much to revive the languishing labor ot the country. So much is a plain duty, and thore can be but few who will not favor Its prompt and generous performance. The government should do more, and could do it with safety under pa triotic, enlightened and conservative statesmanship, but it cannot do it with the poison ol the Commune pouring into the heart ot our flee Institutions. It wants no National Bureaus; no Labor Cominiuions, no new fields for tho demagoguo and tho lobbyist, where corrupt capital can was' v away liberty and law by deceit, debauchery and the prostitution of labor to the aims of The salesman or tbs parly lltui snail devise a system for the successful transfer of our surplus industry over the embryo ompirus ot the West, will woar the green chapletaof sulf-govorn-mont. Labor cannot be multiplied in over-populous places by legislation. It must be created by oponjngnew chan nels in which it can be diffused and di versified, and by such wise measures as will inspire tho trust of capital lor reasonable profits, and tho hope of la bor for adequate wages. Meantime we beg labor to be faith fill to itself; faithful to liberty, law and peace. Let It discard as its dead liest foes tho rant of the agitator, the plea of the adventurer and the promise of the destruction!, for labor can prospor only whon capital is safe in its guardianship. Philadelphia Times. THE ROCK OF OUR DEFENSE. Since tho administration inspired the communistic plank in the Ohio platform, the tide of the dangerous elements sets strongly toward the Re publican party. In tbetr desperation and impending defeat the Radicals are ready to co-oporalo with any allies or Incorporate into their platforms any ideas, howovordestructivo they may bo of government and civilization, in the hopejthat by this they may gain a now lease of power. Novor in its history waJtho Democratic Conservative party charged with graver responsibilities than now; nover was its duty more clearly defined. It must preserve our constitution and our laws, and all that is worth tho having in our civilization, defending them against the threatened dangerous centralization upon ono hand and agrarian communistic mob rule on the othor; forit happens now, as often before in history, that these two seemingly antagonistic forces are working hand in band for some pur pose. 1 he same dangerous elements that are at war upon capital, sympa thising even thoplunderingsand burn ing, aro demanding that tho railroadt be wrested from private proprietorship and run as government institutions, and demanding further that all de partments oi business Bhall be placed under administration control. Oo the othor hand, capital in some of its de partments is demanding a "strong gov- eminent" to hold down disorder by overwhelming military force. Mr. Jay Gould shrieks. "A million dollars for a king I" Capitol wants centralization for one purpose ; the mob wants it for smother; and the administration has given sufficient evidence that it wants it fpr its own purposes. It is now the grand function of thi democracy to stand like a wall of adamant betwoon centralized despotism upon the one baud and anarchy and communism upon the othor, and to preserve our institutions as thoy aro, our personal liberties and rights of property. It must atand like a rock rooted in the firm soil of constitutional law, and furnish a rallying point for all lovers of our republio to gather to its dofense fixed column amid the welter of uncertainty. The strength of the country is with us, The communistic and centralizing features ot the Radi cal party, while tbey may win votos of one kind, will lose votes of another kind. The "labor plank" of Mr. II ayes and Mr. Stanley Matthews is not only demagogic and wickod, but foolish. The most influential portion of the Republican press condomns it, and It will drive out of the Republican ranks those who formed its strength and stay. Tbs time is not far distant when lovers ot representative govern ment in tho North must throw them selves into the ranks of tbo conserva tive democracy, and when they will thank God for the "solid South" that will stand in imponotrablo phalanx In support of tho constitution. It is vory probablo that olhor Republican con ventions will follow the lead of that of Cleveland, and under tbo inspiration of thut adminislration put forth agra rian and contralising platforms. The delusion will run its wild and reckless course. But the duty of the Demo cracy is the model that should bo taken. It simply says "The destruction of the industry ot tho country and pauper izing ot labor are the inevitable fruits of vicious laws enacted by the Repub lican parly." It proposes no quack remedies ; puts forth no false ideas. It simply places the blamo upon the pro per shoulders, and insists upon the re turn to the old methods as the only way of safety and prosperity. Its only anchor and hope is in going back to the old paths of cheap government, re trenchment, honest administration, and legislation for the benefit of Ike pooplo, instead of special legislation for corrupt rings and lobbies. In this alone is safety. The Democratio party is now the conservator. It carrios the repnb lio and all its fortunes.
