Mr. ' Tom JdwEits^jnd^family

Gen. Maiione, the little pig-head-
ed Virginia rcpndiator, gives it as
his candid belief that West Vir-
ginia and Florida can be .carried
next year by the republicans. Ma-
hone is a played-out politicinl bum-
mer, and his prophecy simply
amounts to nothing. J
With splendid harvests and with
tireless hands the emancipation
seems to be in sight. Courage and
frugality have brought- about the
regeneration. The underbrush has
bt>t>n cleared away; the swamps
hy,v« bec^inv,tortile fields and the-
manhood of trie south walks erect
in the sunlight. Thy. tillers have
climbed down from tlrVir seats on
the fortfes, ami tho gold-headed
cane has been beaten into a paper
weight for baitk-yhecks. There is
a general taking, ofi'. of coats and
lengthening of suspenders, The
fields laugh again with the glad-
ness of the harvest. On every
side can be seen the effect of this
new spirit that has come among us.
Our homes are tiner and happier,
a sure indication that our hearts
and purses are bigger and better.
The process of evolution is most
gratifying. Beginning at Louis-
ville, we have every reason to be
proud of her enterprises and the
development that has followed.
Ifor ambition* commercial inter-
ests have lipd peaceful hands on
new and valuable territory. Her
representatives have penetrated
etfen info Mexico, and the enter-
prise is neating good fruit. This
cheerful prospect extends from the
Ohio to tho On If. A few days ago
a half hundred northern capital-
ists visited Chatauooga and vicini-
ty for the sole purpose of making
investments in farms and 'mining
lands and sights for manufactories.
The drift of capital indicates tho
presence of "pay dirt." And so it
is all over the south. For every
furnace that blows its pampered
lifp out in tin' north we will event-
ually show two in the south. The
iron and the coal and the timber
and the gold are all there; the
fields are well tilled and fruitful;
tho people are working out, with
honor to themselves, the problem
ofrtuceesH; fend, lastly, the war is
hardly a memory"
Xkw York Sun: The State Con-
vention of colored men which is in
Session at Columbus has resolved
to petition the.Ohio Legislature to
pass laws for the protection of .col-
ored men, and ''to repeal all the
old statutes against them." Is it
possible.that colored people are
not sufficiently protected in Ohio?

Bishop Turner, colored, ih ftpplefch,
said: "The devil in hell would

Tn*Tort" Worth
that there is a growing fueling
among men who have bought and
paid for fheir property, and have
paid taxes on it, that they are enti-
tled to protection; and that if they
do not gel it from the law they
will try what virtue there is in a
Winchester rifle's . ,.

It would be well if S. Romeo Reed,
who is dahcing about like a p?a on
a hoi gridiron, and tilling the es-
teeaU'd Commercial Gazette with
waitings abaui mythical Southern
outrages, would calui himself for a
moment and tell why tho Ohio Re-
puhlu'ans,haven't protected color-
ed men.
Twj'y have begun to enforce the

ting up shamefully. Later how-
ever, the citiaens got together and
drove the devils-incarnate from

fit subjects for Judge Lynch's
