The Southern people have never ' been understood by the people of the North, especially by the newspapers and politicians. Some of the papers are censuring the South because it does not manifest a willingness to disrupt the Democratic party, and give the President unreserved sup port. They even insinuate that the Sonth lacks frankness and candor, and is holding back to make better terms. This is altogether untrue and unjust. Many of the leading papers from Baltimore to the Gulf have ex pressed themselves plainly that they would support the President's policy so lone as it yas De-1' tionaT, economical and pure, but that they were in favor of preserving their organization intact, and win ning the race easily in 1880. The Richmond StatS put9 the case pre cisely: "We declare that our representations should .stand aloof from any factious at tempts of the radicals of either party to embarrass Mr. Hayes. We declare that we desire no trading, no "dickering" with him for offices. We declare that in all the Southern Commonwealths the rights of all parties should be and will be as much re spected, now that the Government with draws armed force, as they have ever been, and, indeed, far better than they have been. "We do not, for all that, propose to break up the Democratic party any more than Mr. Ilyes proposes to break up the Republican. Of our State affairs we shall take care for ourselves and follow such domestic policy as shall , commend itself to the best judg ment of the better classes amongst us, while as touching the National Government legislative and executive we are ready to help the honest, the constitutional, and the law-abiding wing of either or both ex isting parties, or of any future organization. "All this is simple enough, and should be satisfactory." THE DEBATE IN PARLIAMENT. The war in the English Parliament still continues. No satisfactory re sult has been reached. The Liberals are waging a strong fight against war. On Thursday Mr. Forster made a noticeable speech in the House of Commons. W e quote from a Herald telegram : "Mr. Forster's speech was a criticism of Earl of Derby's reply to Prince Gortschakoff . He said some of the arguments therein, though conclusive, were based upon false assumptions. The whole tendency of the reply was dangerous. It was a very strong statement to say that Russia had broken the Treaty of Paris by the step she had taken. If the government thought that to declare war instead of leaving the Question to European mediation was a violation of that treaty, they should have told Russia so beforehand. Whether Russia wasMamable depended very much unon whether the European concert by which matters were to be arranged was real. He denied that that concert was anything more than a sham, denied that England had the right to prevent Russia from attacking Egypt, and scouted the idea that Russia desired to capture Constantinople." Mr. Chaplin, a Conservative, i. e. a supporter of the Ministry, said 'that Russia, to a great extent, was re sponsible forthe events that occurred last year in Bulgaria, and that care should be taken to prevent Russia from setting her foot in Constantino ple or interfering with the road to India, even if it were necessary to sweep the Mediterranean to secure that object." Sir Robert Peel ridiculed the idea of Russia being the friend of civil or m 1 religious liberty. He hoped the go vernment would i:ot budge an inch from the position they had taken. He did not fear war, but hoped it would be avoided under the able management of the government. T8IK PI!! QU KMT ION. The Central Protestant, published at Greensboro, has a well considered article on fish culture. It ia gratify ing to see so much interest taken by the press in so important a subject. The entire people are concerned in the advantages and success of this great project. Let our streams swarm with the finny tribe, and living must be much cheaper and sweeter. The Protestant says: "The importance of the subject is uot properly understood and appreciated tbroughout the State. If it had been, we venture to say that the rcsultof the effort in our last Legislature to create a Fish Com mission and to compel the removal of ob structions to the passage of fish in our riv -ers, or the construction of fish ways over dams, as well as to establish a general sys tem of artificial propagation for the entire State, would have met with a different fate. The bill did not reach the House, but was warmly supported by our Senators in the Senate. It was one of the most im portant measures before the General As sembly, and it is much to be regretted that some similar measure did not receive its sanction. Let us suppose that the Haw, Dan, Deep and Roanoke rivers, with all their tributaries could be more abundantly stocked, and with better fish than crowded their waters a hundred years ago in the short space of three years. Who would not regard such a consumma tion as a great and almost untold blessing to our people. And yet this was precisely the object and intent of the bill. Its prac ticability does not now even admit of a question, for it has been clearly, and by actual experience, demonstrated in many of the States." By the time the next Legislature assembles the importance of fish cul ture will be better understood, and our Legislature can act with an as surance of being sustained in any measures that look to the stocking of every stream within our borders with the very kinds of fish that are hardi est and most desirable. The people in the meantime need light, need in formation. Gov. Seymour, of New York, says there is more genuine hu man sustenance in one acre of water well stocked with fish, than iu the best wheat farm in his great State. The fish question is worthy of the at tention of every man in the State. We trust we are all beginning to be more practical. A BIT OF PHILOLOGY. A scholarly friend, and one of the best writers in North Carolina, writhe us: "Hike your article on Dr. Miller in Sun day's Star. That was a good thing he got off on P. as told by you. But how about that new pronoun you've invented, ourself I shall be greatly obliged to you if you can make it good, for I have often felt the need of just that word, but have always been afraid to write it" Our friend, who, by the w 18 a oapital' editor, rathe-rses us. We found roivea in a difficulty. We tltk.fi Kaon liainnr tha nlirnrial mn " and when we came to describe the meeting in which-three were present Dr. M., Dr. P. and the writer we took (American) editor's license and wrote "ourself." To be perfectly candid, at the moment we were a vic tim of a colloquialism, and used the "new pronoun" without proper con sideration. Of course we knew that "ourselves" was authorized as the plural of "myself," but having heard educated people in the freedom of. speech use "ourself," we adopted it without proper regard for critical niceties or even absolute correctness. But if we were driven to the wall, we could quote a couplet from as well known an author as Alexander Pope, in which be uses twice the sus pected word, in order to bolster our questionable cause. Pope writes: "Ourself will swiftness to your nerves im part; Ourself with rising spirits swell your heart." But then Pope employs the pro noun in a regal sense, and, thus far, we believe its use has been so re stricted by the best writers those writers we must study, Burke, De Quincey, Landor, Hawthorne, Ma caulay, John Henry Newman, and a few other acknowledged great mas ters of style. Poe possibly took "poetic license," and we took "ed itor's license." If calling on President Hayes gave Gen. Grant a chill, will not the meet ing between the former and Governor Tilden be apt to give the President a fever ? Some of the papers are cruel enough to insinuate that Grant's chill was caused by his visiting a temper ance President. Grain has again advanced. On Friday corn advanced 2 cents in Baltimore. Wheat firm and flour unchanged. In Chicago wheat ad vanced 74- cents, and corn 2 cents. In New York, wheat was 2 cents higher, and corn unchanged. It does really begin to look as if trouble will grow out of the wicked ness of that old cut throat, Brigham Young. Between the old villain and Mexican cattle thieves there is some I chance of a little breeze. The Herald has a Richmond cor respondent who thinks he has dis covered an important leak in the Virginia. ;ifTnocraey. He says the people are ready to dissolve old party ties and form new ones. Ho must be the same wise fellow who wrote from Raleigli. Both accounts are doubt less equally veracious. That ia to say, one grain of truth in a bushel of error. The Herald says editorially in regard to its correspondent : "He adds that, the Southern policy of President Haves has won the gratitude and confidence of the mass of the white voters who have hitherto acted with the Demo cratic party, and that while State issues may for the present hold the old parties together there is an Impression among shrewd men that so far as federal politics are concerned parties in Virginia will hereafter divide as administration and anti-administration." The Washington City people are greatly indignant because Fred Doug lass has been making fun of them in a public lecture. He was quito abu sive, calling them many hard names. The truth is, Fred is smart, but he has never been able to divest himself of a spirit of leveuge, and to forget he was born, a negro. We once heard him abuse his best friend, Ho race Greeley. Fred is in hot water, and he shows that he is utterly un suited for the position which he holds, Marshal of the District of Co lumbia. The Spanish proverb iB true, "You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear." The President did not excite en thusiasm, by his visit to Philadelphia. The politicians stoodgaloof and the crowd was indifferent. This shows that in the city of brotherly hate the Republicans do not favor the peace policy of Mr. Hayes. A Pleasant Anecdote of ile late Sena tor Mangum. Philadelphia Press. Some ludicrous mistakes are nar rated about the occupants of the suites of rooms at the National Hotel, Washington, which opened upon little halls, uniform in appearance, con nected by long corridors, and which were all furnished alike. One night Senator Mangum, of North Carolina, then President pro tempore of the Senate, a dignified gentleman of the old school, bad returned from a party, when Governor Upham, a Senator from Vermont, came in without any ccremonv, and took a seat. The two chatted away on politics, &c, until the clock struck one. " Really, Gov ernor Upham," said Mangum, " I am always pleased to see you, but 1 be lievo it is getting very late." "I have thought so for some time," replied Upham, but made no movement. The half hour sounded, and Mangum remarked: "I thought, Governor Up ham, that you had decided to go to bed, sir?" "So I had, Mr. President," answered the Vermonter, yet he did not budge. Mangum stared at him in amazement, and at last said : "But why don't you go to your room ? It will soon be two o'clock !" " My room, Mr. President, why, this is my room, and I have been waiting for Sou to go away for two hours past, angum sprang to his feet, looked into the sleeping-room adjacent, and found that he was in Upham'r room instead of his own. something Aboat newspapers.

The dog show which opened at Gilmore's Garden, New York, on Tuesday last, is an interesting affair. A large number of high-bred canine pets are exhibited, and a number have been imported from abroad lor exhibition. Five -mastiffs are valued at $5,000. They are magnificent an imals, fawn-colored, black-muzzled, and average in weight 120 pounds. No such a lot of these animals has ever been, seen iti America. A great variety of pet dogs is shown. One skye, valued at a fabulous price, is placed m a glass case. 1 he exhibi tion is not gotten up by dog-fighters, rat-killers or fanciers, and more in terest is taken in it by Fifth avenue than Baxter street. A person ignOr-' ant of dogs or their uses will interest himself m the deer-hounds bred from her Majesty Victoria's kennel, which are worth $500 each. So with the high-priced mastiffs, one is worth $2,500; so with Rover, the typical Irish setter, the property of the Rev. J. CnmraingMacdona, who fix ed his price at $50,000 iu order to avoid a purchaser, as his stock is rare. Such a dog as Rover has a pedigree as long as that of Vere de Vere, and in him every excellence and trait of the breed are centred. Sleaford and Sensation, pointers; Pride of the Border, Lou, Leicester, Plunkett, setters, among others, are similar types, and are equally valu able. Dog breeding is just getting out of its infancy iu this country, and it is not often, except iu the case of imported dogs, that more than $1,000 are paid for an animal for either sporting or breeding purposes; but in England a fair price for a sporting dog is $500, and tbe price often runs up to $1,200 even for dogs for sport ing purposes alone, as it costs from $100 to $200 to "break" a dog to suit a first-clash English sportsman; while instances are not rare in which as high as $5,000 have been paid for a dog; and in the case of the grey hound Master McGrath, a Waterloo cup winner, Lord Lurgan refused $12,000 for him. Remarkable Coincidence Baltimore Gazette. There are some coincidences in the lives of the Presidents. Jefferson, was born eight years after his prede cessor, Adams; Madison eight years after his predecessor, Jefferson; Mon roe eight years after Madison, and John Quincy Adams eight years af ter Monroe. Adams was sixty-six years old when he retired from the presidency; Jefferson was sixty-six; Madison was sixty-six; Monroe was sixty-six, and John Quincy Adams, had he been elected to a second term, would have been sixty-six. Adams, Jefferson and Monroe each died on the 4th of July; Adams and Jeffer son on the same 4th of July (1826); Washington, Jefferson, Madison, aT.. 1 T 1 a Bionroo and J ackson, who were elected twice, had no sons; John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Van Huron and Harrison, who were elect ed once, had sons. War Notes. Cincinnati Times. Close by Erzeroum is a fortress called a Mush a soft thing. On the down grade withont any brakes the Turkish Kara. How appropriate that the Russian Admiral should be named Pop-off. It did not need the late answer to Gortschakoff to assure the world that the Derby is a brilliant race. A fine crop of torpedoes have been planted in the Danube. When plants or mat cnaraoter come up the rapid ity of the growth completely sur passes that of Jack-the-Giant-Killer's bean stalk. If the Russian army about Erze roum would turn its attention to Mt. Ararat, close by, there might be found that historic olive branch which the dove brought back from its water ex cursion. A Venomous Letter from Packard. New Orleans, May 11. Ex-Governor Packard to-night sent the following dispatch .to Senator Blaine: "The overthrow of the lawful State government was appropriately cele brated to-day. Detachments of the army and navy of the United States participated with the White League of Alabama and Louisiana in this cel ebration of Democratic success. Did poetic justice require that the honors of this achievement should be thus equally divided in the absence of tbe commission? The gray accorded the post of honor to the bine and asked no apology. The custom-house and post-office are closed in admira tion of the event. It is probable that United States interference will not be required hereafter. "S. B. Packard." True to His Pledges. Gov. Nicholls has moved with the utmost promptness to carry out his pledges in regard to public education. Tbe common schools throughout the State are being reorganized as fast as possible, and competent local boards of directors in most of the parishes have already been appointed by the Governor, the colored people being represented by men of their own race on every board. The school fund has for some years been stolen almost bodily by the carpet-baggers, but hereafter it will be religiously devoted to the purpose for wbichit is raised. POLITICAL POINTS. The World says Mr. Hayes knows no North; no South, no East, no West only Ohio. South Carolina is preparing to nay the interest oti her State debt. Good for home government. New York Herald. - Old Bill Allen thinks that Hayes is doing exactly what Filden would have done, aud that while the Republicans fight him the Democrats may sit down and enjoy the fun. Herald. The Boston Post says there may be, aud insists that there ought to be, an extra session of Congress before October 15. In which this court does not concur. Giye us a rest. Baltimore Gazette. For keeping alive the war an army is Jess needed even art of than it formerly was. We have no employment for a standing army, and if we had four times our.present force it would be but a paltry array. Since we are not to have a standing army, the fewer regular soldiers wc do have the better. New York Evening Post. If the most sensible negro the country has yet produced, Fred. Douglass, is as foolish as bis late leeture has proved him to be, people will want to know wheth er Mr. Hayes intends to adhere to his ex pressed purpose of not only appointing negroes to office, but of seeing that his subordinates, who bad offices at their dis posal, gave them also to negroes.
