14,820,972, and in 1884, $17,053,-
. 467 a gain of $2,232,495. These
i are surely very encouraging indica-
; tions. The South has great cause to
; be thankful and even satisfied. Un
'der the circumstances the progress is
very remarkable. The whites are
, taxing themselves to give the ne-
groes a common school education,
v It is certain there is no such
record in history as that made by the
people' of the Souths After a long
and, to them,- most disastrous war,
losing the flower of their men, the
Southern people began 4ife again.
They had lost all but land and honor.
v. :The negroes were the basis of credit.
These were taken away and freed.
- Not only this, but these recently lib-
derated negroes were enfranchised,
C whilst their former masters were for
" the most part disfranchised. The
- result was the negroes, ignorant and
incapable, became the masters at the
polIs, and by their votes selected men
for office and levied taxes upon the
whites. Then began the era of rob
bery and oppression and the satur
- nalia of crime and debauchery.
- It was impossible that this , should
continue always. After from six to
ten years of corrupt government, the
I time varying in the different States.
r.f ' Anglo-Saxon, manhood asserted itself

..':;t;5 l'-"the sum of it.-. The whites began the
fgf'wcofiioTation, of rehabilitation?
of - progress. Whilst building up
there own fortunes they have to a

to reduce the SoutKto the humiliat

upon Federal bounty and to have
the Paternal Government -interfering
in the publio education of the sover
eign Commonwealths. Money is in
deed the great leveller, and the mo
ney of- tho Federal Treasury is well
calculated to so level the States that
the car of Centralization can move on
in every direction right over State
lines and meet with no obstructions,
Constitutional, Congressional or po
litical. Let the South stand by a
strict construction of the Constitu
tion and educate their own people
without Federal aid or interference.
THE TARIFF TO BE ENFORCED.
If Secretary Manning carries out
his plan of enforcing , the present
very unreasonable and high Tariff he
will be regarded by the Protection
ists, an "offensive partisan" and in a
new way. It appears that under the
exorbitant tax there has been much
discrimination and latitude given to
the collectors, and the result is that
the tax has not been collected in full.
The Secretary of the Treasury has
determined to have the law enforced
fairlv and thoroughly. Uf course
W WW
the High Tariff advocates cannot ob
ject even though there should be
gross inequalities and oppressions re
sulting. If the present War Tariff
be really what its friends have
claimed then there cannot be too
much of it. In other words, a rigid
enforcement of its provisions and
rates, however unfair and unequal
they may be in fact, is what is ex
pected and demanded. It is noto
rious in commercial circles that the
grossest violations of the intent
of the law and wholesale abuses
have existed. The Secretary is re
ported to have made discoveries in the
manner of appraisement that have
prompted him to make some import
ant changes. He has been sharply
rapping the knuckles of the Apprais
ers and has issued clejar and positive
instructions. The New York Times,
an able advocate of Tariff reduction
and reconstruction, in discussing the
short comings of Collectors and Ap
praisers and the action of Mr. Cleve
land's Secretary of the Treasury,
says :
"Such a policy puts the extreme oppo
nents of the Administration in , an embar
rassing position. As protectionists thev
mnst admit that the substantial increase of
actual duties is an advantage; as Republi
cans it is trying to have - to admit that the
increase is simply in the prevention of the
fraudulent reductions made by the conni
vance or inefficiency of Republican officials.
Bnt it is not, in reality, a party question at
all. If the customs officers have been de
moralized it has been due to the inevitable
operation of the high tariff system. No
Civil service, worked on a partisan plan, as
Ours has been, could be made to resist the
temptations thrown in their way by this
system. Mr. Manning's greatest service to
; the country, in his present course, lies in
forcing a demonstration of the real charac
ter and effect of the tariff."
When the judge assured the cul
prit that he should have justice the
reply was, that is precisely what is
not desired. A thorough, equal and
continuous enforcement of the ridic
ulous Tariff may be jnst what the
High Protectionists really, do not
crave or favor.
ROACB AND THE DOLPSIN.
Some of the Republican organs
were recently accusing Democratic
papers of doing John Roach injus
tice. They seemed, confident that
John's last attempt at "shipbuilding
would prove a splendid success and
much to the regret and disappoint
ment of the Democrats. The -Stai$
gave all it saw in favor of Roach's
Dolphin. It noted the fact that on
its third trip it actually made in a
smooth sea fifteen miles within ah
hour, according to report. But Sec
retary Whitney was not to be gulled
or fooled, so he ordered a fourth trial
trip.. - The official report ofthe exam
iners has been made known. The
vessel is pretty but - useless. They
actually. recommend,, that Jt -be de
stroyed. CapiT Belknap, Commander;
Evans and Mr. Hv Winters are satis-
i fied that the ship is bad, and they re
gard her as unseaworthy. . A Wash
ington special of the ieth to the Bos
ton Post says: "
"Even on her first trial trip, in the smooth
waters of Long Island sound, she demon
strated her structural weakness. The report
will be unpleasant reading both for Mr.
John Roach and the members of the advi
sory board,, for the retpdnslMllty for the
'failure of this 'pioneer vessel of our new
navy- is a.aivmea one. p The plans were
w Bu mey,ww8 executea in an unwork
manlike way.; The advisory board designed
a ship for speed,- and even as a 'yacht she

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. ;
The New York Sun is a great
stickler for grammatical precision.
It is a purist. It is understood, we
believe, that the Richmond Dispatch
claims to be an authority in , the
usage of words and in questions ap
pertaining to English Grammar, It
corrects a statement made by the
Louisville Courier Journal ot & sup
posed error in the New York Hun.
The Sun said "differ with," and the
Courier-Journal says "differ from."
The Dispatch makes a good showing
a much better one than we believed
to be possible. It says:
"Worcester says that 'with' must follow
'differ' that is. where the difference is not
a mere physical difference. 'One star dif
feretbrtwi another star in glory'; but one
man differs wuA anotner in a controversy.
One man differs from another man in per
son, lie doesn t differ from him in opinion.
The opinions differ from each other; the
men diner wtu eacn otner."
It says "the authorities settle the
question." It siys "almost all good
writers use the right preposition,
&c" It says:
"The use of 'with'- implies intelligent
differing: the use of 'from' implies unintel
ligent differing. You differ with a man;
you tight with a man; yon talk with a man.
You defer to a man. Why not from a
man ? Seeing that 'defer' seems to call for
from?'"
It quotes from Webster's Diction
ary, and gives the following exam
ples in that supposed authority:
"I differ uoiih the honorable gentleman
. on that point. Lord Brougruxm.
"If the honorable gentleman differs with
me on that subject, 1 differ as heartily tew A
him." Canning.
This looks strong, but is it con
vincing? Can Worcester and Web
ster (Noah) settle this question so
that there can be no appeal? We
think if we had noted in the "good
writers" all the instances of the use
of "differ with11 that we have met
; with in the. last twelve months we
could produce at least thirty "author
ities" who would be as potential in
discussion as Joseph . Worcester or
Noah Webster. But let us not.be
misunderstood. We do not now say
that the Dispatch is not correct. We
had supposed that "differ with" was
according to the usage of the best
writers, and especially the best living
writers. Thirty odd years ago wo
were struck with the use of with by
so accurate and splendid writer as
DeQuincey; if we are not in error as
to our recollection. We will look
into the matter and give the result
of our inquiry. , . ,
Say what you will there has been
no time in this country when human
life has been cheaper in the South
than at the present, and when there
' were more' vendettas, bloody feuds
and murders -than within the last
three or four years. Kentucky is
still entitled to wear the fearful de-
Inscriptive name of. "The dark and
bloody ground.' A desire to kill re-
bally appears to be the controlling
; force with many, and the KentUckian
evidently regards a fight between
families; -or factions as the greatest
achievement of life. . This is sugges
tea by the dispatch of yesterday that
I within three weeks nine persona be
longing to the Hall and Jones fami-;
lies of Knott county have been slain
and war to the death continues:' '
