The streets are Ina horrible condition, and the authorities sit Inzily by and do nothing toremedy it. 1t is disgraceful to the city. Whils the streets were plled with suow aml ice, s0 that they wero well nigh Impussable, there was some excuse for dolug nothing, but now there is none.” The money hus been appropriated and paid In, and the taxpayers are entitled to have the work done for which they have pald. Iu place of that, the nuthorl- ties are leaving 1t to dry up and then mi;our stores’ and residences with blinding clouds of dust.

The abolition of slavery wae- re- garded by the oligarchy rs’tlie most cruel of nll tho penaltics of the War, and the Invostment of the colored raco with polltical Mberty, though ndmitted by the civilized world as the Inevitable aud log- feal result of emnncipation, rankles in the pro-slavery heart to-day most painfully be- cause it s the final soal and prohibition ngnlnst the restoration of slavery in any pos- sible form. : Down In tho hearts of the Southern whites 13 the lurking hope that at least and at somo thme in the future there will be payment for tho slaves, For this purpose thers is n record kept fn all Southorn States of, the slaves emancipnted or lost by the War, and the suc- cess of the Democratis party and the ox- tinction of the negro voters a8 constituents of the pollties of the country arc inseparably part of every scheme for the future regoner- atlon of the South, Twelve years hnve passed since the negroes have been declared constitutional citizens and voters, and yet thelr right to vote is repudinted in several Southern States, and 18 as insolently disre- garded as If no such privileges had been ever extended thom, There can be no political freedom at the South until it Is demanded and enforced by popular.sentimont. So long as the whites are’ banded solidly tomether, tlh “political freedon of the negro populntion must remain n barren abstractlon. The establishmentand recognlition and enforcement of polltical free- dom mugt by the result of the demand of such a proportion of the white population as will haye the force necessary to assert and mnintain {t. Any lmprovoment In-public opinlon at tha South, any eficacious effort to nssert Natlonality of polities, any endoavor to establish, to assist, and maintain political froedom in the Southern States, must orig- fuata nt the South and be mnintained there. ‘I'he **solldity” of tho South must bo broken by the veluntary revolt of whito people of those States, whose numbers must bo sulll- clent to enable them to protoct the blacks from violence and protoct the ballot-boxes from violation. This Is what Sena- tor Mahono * has - undertaken to do in Virginia, e proposes revolt against the plid hide-bound Democratic party, byopening political 'honors and distinctions to all the young men, and ambitious men, and pro- gressive men, whether they belong to the old famllles, or represent old slnveholding -es- tates, or have claims for compensatjon .for wardamages to be pald when the Democatlo party attains power, or not. It Is becausa this revolt of Mahono in Virginia Is the pre- lude to stmilar revolta In Mississippl, Geor- gin, In the Carollnas, and in nll she Southern States, where no party is tolcrated snve one, and where, without reference to the votes glven, but one result ispermitted to bacount- ed, that his scheme I8 5o vivlently resented by the Democrats, TheNatchitoches Vindlcatoy, a Democyatic paper ‘of ‘much “abllity, Is inspired by the efforts making by the Mahone Democrats in Virginin'to appen!'to the progressive Deuto- crats of Louisiana to, take simllar action In that State. It professes to speak the senti- ments of alarge body of men in Louisiana, who, In the absence of any organization, are helpless as agalnst the solldificd organization of the Bourbon Demgorats, It denpunces the present policles of the Bourbons s ar- resting all lmprovement In the material con~ dition of the South, and which keaps the Southern States in compnrative varalysis, while all the country 18 experlencing such wonderful growth and expanding prosperity, In behalf of the independent thinkers, It de- clares pu Independence of platform nnd pur- posa for which in the"{uture It propuses to Inbor. Some of the propositions wihlch it avows are worthy of all pralse, and wa re- produce them, ns follows: ‘Wo rocogniza the Constitution of the Uulted Btatus, und tho Liws muda in xurnumnu thereof, g the supretus law of'the land, -~ Wu recogolze certaln logal and necessapy tights as npportaining ty Biatea aa component and indissolublo paris of o kreut and michiy wholu, Call it Union or Nutton, Wo deny thut theso Htaies bave any yights whioh eany do, or xlmg coniliot with the power, will, or uuthorlty of the grand whole. “'hut this 1s 2 Government of the mmp}u and not of States, Wu occept tho m-ul‘- af the Wus In good faith, and Insisc that all wen should oxeroise {Iniun um::nnhlp and A froe vote without let or narunce.

SENATOR MAHONE'S POSITION. Senator Mahone, In a rvecent Interview with n representative of the New York Her ald, defined his position with more clreum- stantiality and with more clenrness and abill- ty than he has done in the Senate debates. As lifs course sounds the keynote of the fall campaign In Virginla, and, if that campnlgn goes In his favor, in renlity sounds the key- notaof future campaigns in the whole South, it is well that it should be clearly under- stood, and this neccasity excuses the Senator in moking what may appear to be a repetition of his views. From the Senator's statoment it is evident that bis independent position, so far from* being the result of issues in the Iate cam- palgn, was taken twelve years ago, and taken, then ns now, in the faco of Bour- bon opposttlon, In 1800 he urged the “Virginia movement” ns 1t wns called, which elected Walker Governor, and relieved Virginin from ' military rule and gave her loeal sclf-government In It stead, The candldates of that movemont supported Gen, Grant to secure these results, and ealled their organization the Conserv- ativo party, That organization remalned unbroken untlt a year ngo, whenhewns clected to Congress by the Liberal Read- justers’ wing of it. It was during these years of Bourbon opposition that Senntor Mahone became convinced that thera was no hopo for the South in any permanent ali- ance with the Bourbons, and that the only way to secure policles and mensyres that wero for the real interests of the South was to ldentity themselves with the ruling senti- ment of the North ns closely as possible, since nll that Bourbonism had necomplished for the South was constant and overwhelming defeat, and tho further alfenation of that sec+ tion from the North, B Referring to his course as o Virginin Senn- tor, Mr, Mahone- Iays down the brond fssuo that “independence of partles, and independ- cnce especlally of. the Bourbon Demucratis party, Is the Arst necessify for our progress and prosperity.” 1n this bold ntterance may. be found the animusof the hatred and vin- dictiveness with which IIfil, Lumar, Brown, Vauce, and others of tho rock-rooted Bour- bons have pursued him. That the present time Is an opportune one for taking this In- depondent position, Sonator Mahone thus showas: - At this tlmo thore aro no questions of sentl- ment or of Hdelity to Jocality or section that should impel moe t0 oither purty, Questions di- vidiog parties are all practicul, nnd ut such n timo L elect to du what 1 think will bring the Inrgest amount of notivo sympathy for the peo- ploof Virginia trom those who buvo the meuns and the disposition 1o nssist thom, This. imlecd, was the commuan sentitnent uf our people nt the closo of tha Waur, until polliticlans, for solfish ends, hold out to them the niluromonts uf poiit- jonl power through a combinition with a lurgo Northern minority, sutlivient, with tho wid of the Bouthorn vote, to'secitro the Government. Gon. Loc, [ happen to know, was especiully griaved Dy tho thought of the pussibility of that contine gunoy. He was extromely anxious for the prowth of a spirit of broad Amerieuntsm among our people, a8 the only rond out of tho troublyd that their scctional politics In the past had lod them lato, From this point-Senator Mahonae briey described the present condition of partles in Virginia, ‘Ihere are two Bourbon parties tn that State, Flrst, the Bourbon Domocrats, who nre bent on kecping nlive seetionallsm, and prejudice, and anhmosity towards the North. They are the men who have not for- gotten the War, who atiil keep allve its preju- dlces, who have never been reconstructed, and who are bent upon making the South the ruling power by alllance with a minority of the Northern: Democrats, who sympathized with thelr efforts to destroy the Government, and who were known durlng the War as Cop- ‘perhieads, Tho other faction of Bourbons is Ropublican, including, not the rank and flle, but the ofticeseckers, and oficehalders, and men who live by polities, ‘These two factions play Into each others' hands, the Bourbon Republicnus putting up tickets to be boaten and then sharing the plunder with the Bourbon Deim- ocrata, The third party Is the Liberal Read- justers, who elected Senntor Mahone, com- posed of wen of all parties, This is the party of reform and progress. ‘The debt question 18" nu longer a leading Jssue with them:, *wWhat we strive for,”" says Senator Muhone, “lg redemption from the control of Bourbon Intolerance, We demand equal rights forall, Ilonce we speak for afree and priceless ballot by which nlona the will of the whola poople can galn expression.” How thewill of tho whola peoplo is thwarted by the Bourbons 18 shown by the aperation ot the poll-tax, + Unlesa o voter has pld it he cannot vote,and how it is ;nade to disfran- chise voters the Senator shows as follows: Inourfitate the locul Assessors are required ta make, early In tho yeur, u complote list of the tuxubles of tho county, This Iist is sent upto the State Trensurer, who in May makes on this " 11at tho return of tho uinount for which he drawa on the County Treusu) Now the Connty Ase BoBsOr sunds vut notlces, But porhips b does not find all the cvlored voters choppiug wood and plowing in tho Hold,or the nour white voters in the remute parts of the county, Theso ure engugod In providing fur their fuw)lles, and fur- Iy and by comos eleation, his pollstax and goos up to pay it, * No, 1 ean't rocslvo it says thy Cnunl{ 'rousuror; * your name 18 not op my Mat. ¥ou can only pay it at the Copital Thue DUOT MAD cannot affurd 1o go thers, aud he loses his Heols uuull{ und ingoniously disfrans chised by thia law, 1t {4 that shametul abuso tho Liberal Readjusters wunt to corseot, By the operation of this capltation tax thousands of voters have been disfranchisod, In 1870 M, flnyes recoived 83,000 votos in Virginia, In 1879, under the operation of the poll-tax, tha epublican yote was40,000. Thia greut injustios, as Woll as Its kindred imposls tiona of intimidation nnd tintolerance, the Liberal Readjusters boldly oppose. Speak- ing for tham, Senntor Mahone demands a freo and falr ballat, . * For my purt, L say, as Ihavesald {n Virglnla, that [ want every' may to vote, white or biagk, and I want him to vote as ho pleases, and to be nejther threntened beforehaud nor ostracised yfter- ward for expressing his free opinion, Iam tived of Intolurance, Iwantwhiteand black, no matter of what party, to aet frealy in politics and live harmonjously togethor ns youdo lu the North.,” As tathefall clection, whigh will Invelve this issue among others, Senator Mahone saya: The fall eloction Is Important Lecause it ine volyes the froodom of the baliot and the rue mavul of the cupitutlon tux; bucuusy the Stute Governinont to bo ubosen 18 tobu trivndly or unfriendly to pricoless suffruge und to fr acl 3 and bocuuse the Novewber elcotion fne volves the chuloe, besides Stute oitivors, of & Court of Apsaul- und & United Btatos Benutor, Ou u fuir and opon muinu Letween the Bour bun Democruts wnd the Liderals wo should swoep the e, Hul thore urv wmong us Bourbun Hupublicans, woidtly viticehalders, who, under & tuise prelenso that they cun bopo wuurr( (L] Hiute, insist on u straight Hepublicun tleker alio.

The speech mada, by ‘Gen, Grant ab the re- cent banquet tendered to him in the City of Mexico Is an_ utterance of considerabls im- vortance Just ut this time, It serves to con- fiym his confidence In the results of the de- velopmont of that conntry now golng on by process of rafirund bullding, but it likewlse disassocintes him from any attempt or desire o promoto annexation. It is n declaration” for himself, and to a certaln extent for the United States, that commerelal intercourss and not political afiinity is tha object sought through railway connection. Qen. Grant is the President of & railrond now in process of construction which runs acroys the southern part ot Mexicd from the port Anton Lizardp on the Gulf to the Pa- cific const. o announccs that it is the design of the bullders of this rond not in any monner to compete*with, but to feed, the trunk lines that are running fromn the United States Into the Cliy of Mexico. e predlets ulso thnt the system of intlroads projected for Mexico by Amerlean capital will open up the resources of the Republic, and encourago en- torprise, Inditstry, and trndeto an extont never beforo known In that country. Ile estimates thot tho Government revenues wiil rapldly grow from the present average of 18,000,000 or 820,000,000 to $50,000,000 annunlly, 1l might have told the Mexicans that such In- crease mny be accelerated by changing thelr tarlff from a prohibitory toa revenue char- acter, in order to enconrngoe the exchanges between thut country and the United Stntes which the railroads are designod to establish, Thorois no doubt that railronds infuse n cortain ambitlon and spirlt of enterprise into the peoplo of n primitive or' undeveloped country, 1tlscqually certain that judiclous Investment of capitaland the opening of new markets wlll develop the resources of Mexleo o an oxtent of which the natives have never dreamed. 1t isalso true that the people of the United States will find an advantagein buyingcoffee, sugar, tobueco, woods, dyes, and other products of that clitnate in preforenco to going to the West Indies and othor trop- Ienl countrles for the samne articles, not only boenuse the distance and cost of transportas tlon will be reduced, but becnuse reelprocity in trade may ba bronght about, which 18 ex- cluded by discriminating duties matntained by the Government of Spain as to its West Indla provinces. At tho same time tho Mexi- can peoplo neod entertaln nelther apprehen- slon nor hope of any project of annexns tion. \What Gen, Grant saidl on this subject was ns' followss .- . 1 think that T can answor for nine-tanths of® tho peoplo uf my country when I say that wo have nu sintster motives whatovor, - We huve no cdesiirug nor dusires that are injmical to the hon- ar und erodit of thig great Republio. 1am awiro that soma of tho papers of “Moxico, us well as, ib Unlted States, have mado alluslond to the pussibiiity of the nancxation of Mefilunnll:rrlmz y l‘rn‘thhn mud‘ gtknwa.n d(.)v‘x' II:n;t Bubject [ knowsthat thore arg v . nvernnu- approhension, \Y‘;lllujw Prosident of the United Stntes, represontatives of the KRo. publis of San Domingo upplied to me for RBUSX~ ation, doclaring that such was tho doslre of the Government, and the wish of all the people of tho (slund.

QGrant enteyod his disclplmer ostensl biy for the purpose of assnslng the Moxjenn peopla that nelther he, nor the United Staten Governmeont, nor tha pgople of thls country have any ambition to extend territorlal jurls- diction.

This wns bad ennugh, but it would still lenva the central parts of the city protected by n succession of solld walls, But Ald, Cullerton, at tho last meeting of the Coitncil, actunlly proposed to expose the .entive city by repenling that por- tlon of the reviséd ordinances which pro- vides that sheds erectéd under the provisions of the fire laws “slinll not bo used as dwell- ings,” The privilege of erecting sheds lanl- rondy toe much nbused, for under this name woodan barns and store-rooms are located In the alloyaback of the most valunble bubidines and In the woest erowded portions of the city.
