THK WBBTBRN ROAD.
We never were of thoae to charge
f aud on any one in oonneotion with the
s*ls of the Western Riilroad, bat from
the time the sale of the R «il wu first
agitated before the public, ap to the
very day it was oonfiruied. the REPORTER
was never silent, bat at all titnes, oppos
ed the sale in the manner, and on the
conditions on wbioh it wan sold, pointing
t-i the irrepirable injury that would be
totalled on our eastern oities, Including
Raleigh and Charlotte. At first we
were glad to find a number of our ex
change* expressing our views, (oalv i Q
better language than we ooul'i give
them) but from some cause, we never
knew whet, these same ft'.ate papers that
had agreed with us at the stsrt, sudden

the same ardor that they had opposed
the sale of the road, ■now advocate it
After seeing so truoh written on the sub
jeet and knowing that some of our best
men were giving it their attention, we
hoped till we had been mistsken in our
tirft, notions, and that in place ot the
ro*Q under the new uiaiie|iement, acting
as a channel throu«b which our wealth
would flow into other States, and build
up our sister cities, it might in some de
gree benefit st leas' tbe west, and might
not detract the produois ot the west from
their natural and rightful oenters our
own cities in tbe east; but the change
of the gauge of this road to suit the
Hiohmoud and Danville road, ahowa us
too plainly that our faint hopes are
blasted and that our worst fears are
about to be realtied, and ibatead of the
Western Road lusiering sod building up
aar own waste places, vampire like it
will suck tbe very life blood of the State,
and sap the foundation of her fairest

CORRESPONDENCE.
Beporter's Wsshington Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. C .NOT- 24, 1880
One who puts faith in offioial papers,
would almost believe, from tbe report ot
the Acting Commissioner of lediaa
Affairs made, a few days sinoe, that all
tbe bad Indiana were dead, and only
those who were fitted for teaching in
Sunday-schools survived. Yet there
eame to tbe War Department, yesterday,
a reliable diapaiob detailing murders aud
robberies by Indians in tbe North west.
Secretary Schurs is filled with a sort ot
siokly sentimentality on the subject ot
rad men, though now more than suspected
of ooolneas toward black ones, sad tbe
rosy report of his subordinate was,
doubtless, written to suit him. Several
shams will go out with this Administra
tion, and tbe Interior Department will
rejoioe in the loss of more Ulan one oi
them.
The coming session of Congress is
ssked by Seeretsry Ramsey to add five
tboussod men to the srmy. I know of
no Democists who will vote for the
inorease. Kven those Texss Representa
tives who, a few years ago. were willing
to increase the army to fifty tbou-and
have been either converted or left at
home The inoreaae will not be granted
The Secretary, however, makes one
recommendation which will bw generally
approved. He asks that prom P' action
be taken for the future impiovement of
the M ississippi river. This great project
is entirely ia keeping with tbe material
progress of ths time and with the
rapidly changing spirits of oar polities,
whioh is begieaing to demend attention
to what tbe people need, instead of what
a few politicians fanoy they need. A
heat ty anion in Congress in favor of a
comprehensive plan of improvement for
onr great Western rivers would do morv
than anything else to break up "Solid"
sections of the oonntry. I believe
Qsiield thoroughly appreciates this
fast, sad wil! oot only urgi the prosecu
tion of (bis, but yf other great woiks for
the gesetal benefit Dsm.

The Political Situation.
AM IMnaUTINO talk with senator m.
C BOTLKK
Senator Butler w«a interviewed at
Columbia ou the 11th. We copy a
part. He said;
The South aaka no 'ooboiliatioo."
Her people are out spoiled chiidieu.
AH thai tliey ssk ia oo turn on taimese
>ud oouimou jusiioe at lh« hand* of
the Radicals or anybody else. She
is as able to take ore ot berselt as
*ay other section of the Union, aud
:t this eternal prating about the
"Southern poiicy" ot this m»u or that
had becu done away with long ago, tbe
whole country would have been better
off
Q*—^ uu du not apprehend, then,
that the Radical majority iu Congress
will attempt to r toousuuot tbe South ?
A.—.Not a bit of it. In tie first
place I kut uot ho re i lie Radicals have
a Uisjotity iu Congress. 1 think we
shall retain ooutroi of the Seoate by
R small majority, aud Radical olerka
of tbe ]«ower House have set us Bouie
vsluable lessons in the preparation u!
the lists ot members pieparatory to
ea organisation of the House, aud it
ia by ou means earuin we shall lose
the House. But, suppose they have
a majority, what greater reasoo is tiers
lor reconstructing the Government
of South Carolina than of New York 7
We are eitirer in ihe Uuion, upou the
same terms as Now York, or we are
not tu it at all If we are, theu any
"reconstruction" of South Carolina
which Old not apply equally to New
York, wou d be revolutionary, aud the
money changers of the country are
hardiy lor tnal.
y —1 mean, is it desirable thai there
shouid be a solid South sgaiust a solid
North, or vice verss T
A.—l do uot think such an attitude
desirable or advautageuus to either
aeotlou But are you uot uiistakeu
iu suob au attitude ? The
two parlies st tbe North are very
uearly evenly matched in point ot
uumbers, and so they are in the
South, so there oau be no solidity,
while this is the oaa«. Ths white
people of the South are solid, beoauae
the lladioal majority made tbem so.
Tney are eo, not eutirely because they
«re Democrats, but iu self-defence,
to protect themselves against the
negro domination which the Radicals
set up over them. That is the only
immediate issue in the South, and
just so long as there is a mensoe or
possibility ot negro governments
being restored ia the South, just so
long will her white populstion remain
solid. And, on the other haod, just
as soon as we have guarantees from
any authoritative source, Northern
Radioal or Northern Demoorat,
against a restoration of Carpet bag
negro Staie governments, just so soou
will (bat solidity 'disaulr*, aud not
before
Q—Do I understand you to express
the opinion that tbe solid South is a
good thing for tbe South f
A—Well, I say to yon frankly
that 1 tniok tvctivua/utH in any form
ia had for the whole country, and I
have never used an expression or east
a vote sinoe I have been in tbe
Senate tbat oan be tortured into
•eotionalism But a Much greater
oalamity may bstall the Sooth than its
solidity. lam not so sure but that her
solidity will be a great advantage to
ker in maay ways. It will not
interfere with the discharge of every
duty she owes to the Qeoeral
Government. It may make her
sell reliaut and sell-dependent, two
very desirable elements in her future
oaresr. It will proteot her agsinst the
sudden influx of s very undeeirsble
populstion, which, with the negroes,
would constitute one of the most
dangerous com Kites the world has ever
known. It would bring about a
torough introspection of herself, and
grsdnslly drsw her into ths lins of
progress with the rest of the oivilised
world. There sre many elements of
Southern oiviliiation tbat are better
than the Northern, and ought to be
preaerved. And thsn, again, there are
many of oar habits that might, well be
reptaoed by Northern ideas and
methods. Besides, tbe solid Bouth
keeps the revolutionary Radicals at bay,
and thwarts their machinations and
plsns to ebsnge the form ot this
Government from m Constitutional
Republio to a eentralissd depotism
There is no more doubt tbat sueh a
purpose is ountemplated, seriously
contemplated, than that we are here
I say, theiefore, that the solid South
s not au unmixed evil. So long as
ws hsve honest State Governments,
ws will sdvsnoe snd develop in a
marvellous degree, and we will do this
without aid from anybody, aud we
can stsnd tbe solidity as well or better
than the North. If the North wills it,
so be it.
Q —Will Gsrfield's election keep up
this solidity in the two sections ?
A —That depends upon Garfield
himself Southern representativee,
the leaders ot Southsrn opinion, will
uo doubt wait and watcb If
Garfield is the statesmen tbat bis
triends claim him to be, if be has s
brrjd gsuged mind, if he is not
conir tiled by the revolntionsry element
of his parly, if he has libersl snd
pusiive oouvietions and lbs courage to

great uiauy "lis"), he hss it in bis
