| Short Sighted Policy of tue South.

| written a letter to the Hon. L. Q. 0.
Lamar, of Mississippi, in which he
j reprecales theinlerpositiou of extreme
I Stale rijrhts doctrines, to prevent the
construction of the Southern i'acilic
! Railroad, und exposes the short sight
ed policy of the South in urging e<>n
stitutionid objections to an appropri
at ion for its own benefit, which are
entirely disregarded by the unscrupu
lous N?*jrlh, whilst the interests 01 its
A?rn L'iwit utlt l)?i V'O lt?>OT) I>11i 1 r nn :it the
expense of the other, and the South
j has been loft with little to boast of
!except its cherished principles. The
same views are admirably enforced in
a recent article of the Baltimore C'a
j:c((c, as follows;
"The policies of tho two sections
I upon alt this class of subjects have
essentially dillercd. The South,
through her representatives in Con
gress and in the (iovernmcnt, has al
j ways contended for a siriet coustruc
jtion of the constitution. The North
j has always given it the widest and
most liberal interpretation. Jt has
been the policy of the one to take
jnothing from the general government.
! It has been the policy of the other to
jtake everything she could gut. At
the end of the first hundred years we
find the accounts between the two
isections standing thus: For internal
improvements North, ?190,000,000;
internal improvements South, $19,
j<100,00!). In other worda, four or five
j Northern utxl Western cities wumij;
! I lie last five years have obtained for
i the erection of post offices alone as
have been expended in a century in
work8 of every description in all' the
.Southern States.
The $l'JO,KH),oOt> expended in this
way in the West and North have
largely contributed to swell its numer
' ical majority, and are every day con
tributing to the same result. Year
after year the interest iscompoundiug,
and there is nothing left to the South
but a barren, worthless ideality.
I Along the lino of Pacific Railroads
I new territories are carved out year by
year, and new States are knocking for

is outstripped in the rn^e, and with a

tinent?how long will it be before she

I denouncing the recent election of
Whipper and Moses, urging u thor
i ptigh organization of the party in each

ipointment of delegates to a County

j Oth of March next. Among other res
olutions, the following was unani
Imously adopted:?

I Mr. Davis' Letter iu Reply to
ttlaiuers Charges.
Ex-President Davis has written a
letter to Judge Lyons, of Richmond,
Va., in reply to Mr.. Blaine's charges
of his responsibility for the sutl'erings
|of the prisoners at Andersonville, iu
; which he shows that the attack could
| only be prompted by a desire to make
| party capita.', and is disproved as well > K
I by records, Federal and Confederate,, o
:as by numberless witnesses. The ft
speech of lien Hill indeed furnished hi
|an exhaustive refutation of thecharge,
| which is uow brought forward as oue
; of the most elM-ctive measures of party
I warfare. Mr. Davis says:?
j The published fact of'au attempt toi
suborn Wii/, when under sentence of J
, deatii, by promising him a pardon if!
! he would criminate me in regard tolf
' Andersonville prisoners, is conclusive!
ias to the wish of the government to!f<
i make such a charge against me, and j
(clie failure to do so shows mat notning
could be found to sustain it. May wo
I not say the evidence of my iuuocence
I was such tljat Holt and Conover, with
] their trained band of suborned wit
! ri esses. dared not make against me
this charge ?the sume which Wirz for
his life would not make, but which
Jiiaino for the Presidential nomina
tion has made ?
Til 10 liKADINO FACTS.
Now let us review Lite leading facts
of the case. The report of the Confeder
ale Commissioner for the Exchange
jof prisoners shows how persistent ami
liberal were our dibits to secure the
relief of captives. Failing in those
attempts, I in>tructed General It. E.
Lee to go, under a lia? of truce, audi
seek an interview with General Grant;
to represent to him t!ie sutlering and
death of federal prisoners held by us;
to explain the causes which were be
yond our control, and to urge in the
name of humanity the observance of
I the cartel for the exchange of prison
' ere. To this, as to all previous appeals,
a deaf ear was turned. 1 will not at
tempt from memory to write the re
port made to me of the incidents of
this mission. Lee no longer lives to
defend the cause and country he loved
so well and served so elHciently, but
General Grant cannnot fail to remem
ber so extraordinary a visit, and his
objections to executing the cartel are
well known to the public. But who
ever else may choose to forget my ef
fort* in this rwcard. the prisoners at
| Andoraonvilie and the delegates I per- I
| mitted them to send to President Lin- ^
coin to plead for the resumption of ex- jj
change of "prisoners cannot fail to re- s
member how willing I was to restore ^
them to their homes and to the com- [
forts of which they were in need, pro v
vided the imprisoned soldiers of the j
Confederacy should be in like iuauner v
released and returned to us. t
THIS FOUL ACCUSATION,
though directed specially against me, ?
was no doubt intended ami naturally
must be the arraignment of the South,
by whose authority and on whose be- (j
half my deeds were done. It may be '
presumed,that the feelings and the 1
habits of the Southern soldiers were J
understood by me, and in that con nee- f
tiou any fair minu would perceive m
my congratulatory orders to the army
after a victory in which the troops
were most commended for their ten
derness* and generosity to the wounded
and other captives, as well the in
stincts of the person who issued the
order as the knightly temper of the ]
soldiers to whom it was addressed. It r
is admitted that the prisoners in our .
I hands were not as well provided for as s
I we would, but it is claimed we did as o
I well for them as we could. Can the
other side say as much? To the bold
allegations of ill-treatment of prison- *
ers by our side and humane treatment i
and adequate supplies by our oppo- ^
tie 11 to, it is only necessary to offer two
fac's:? j
Firnt?It appears from the reports of i
i the United States War Depaatment 1
that, though we had GO,000 more feder- I
al prisoners than they had of Con fed- ^
erates, '3,000 more of Confederates died
in Northern prisons.
iS'ecoml ?The want and suffering of
men in Northern prisons caused me to j
ask for permission to send out cotton t
and buy supplies for them. The re
quest was granted, bnt only on condi- |
lion that the cotton should be sent to \
New York and the supplies be bought 1
there. General lieale, now of St. r
Louiti, was authorized to purchase and
distribute the needful supplies. Our 1
sympathy rose with the occasdon and "
responded to its demands, not waiting ,
for ten years, then to vaunt itself when j
it eouId serve no good purpose lo the
sufferers. r
The charge can only fin J credence s
among those who are wilfully blind.

" We have no desire to boast of the f
success which has attended our paper
within the past two years, but this we

four hundred per cent, more than they

so willingly bestowed* To our pat

but one, and that was to give them ^
the worth of their money. We will c
take occasion just here to state that in

it has ever been. We have purchased,

The Bankrupt Act.
| Of the Bankruptcy Act the Wash-j
j ingtnn correspondent of theAYu; York j
Journal of Commerce says: "The
j House, by a vote of 178 to 54, have
agreed to repeal the bankrupt Act ex
cept to pending suits in court.
Tin's will undoubtedly result in some
compromise that will repeal many im
portant features of the act as it "now
J exists in the statute books. The
j House is definitely pledged to repeal,
and has a working majority of at least
one hundred. The Senate is opposed
to it, but it umst yield about all im
jportant provisions of the act. The
j friends of repeal have made *o pro
| nouneed a sueefss that they threaten
to endanger other important matters
j by pressing this. So a compromise
| must be liberal on the part of the Sen
late."
