THE SUNNY SOUTH. A Correspondent’s Pleasant Ex-| perience in the Carolinas and Southern Virginia.

The negroes’ penchant for fowl can easily be accounted for on the ground that whatever is most plentiful is easiest to get. 1 had ex- pected to luxuriate somewhat, while south, in fruit and vegetables but was sadly disappointed. The hotels depend upon neighborhood supply, and don’t have enterprise enough to import from more favored districts I heard remarks more than once from southern guests of this import: “If we had a live Yankee landlord he would fix the place up and give us better fare.” There are good hotels south, 1n the cities, but as far as my experience goes, what are known as country and summer resort hotels are miserably manaved. I left the mountains of Ni lina, after a three weeks t, with a good deal of regret. Tt is certainly the most beautiful country in summer and with the finest climate T met. At no time were the d comfortably warm and the nights were simply perfect, there being no fall of dew, such as renders the tamous mountain resorts of West Virginia and farther north of New York and the White Mountainschilly and unhealthy. The guests at the hotels were mostly southerners and were an extremely social and whole-souled people. I soon found myself at home wherever T visited and I amn sure have a better appreciation and knowledge of the south, and especially of the social and political relations of the people there than ever could be gained from north- ern newspapers. 1 met and taiked with all classes of people and have somewhat reconstructed my ideas of southern politics and southern ques- tions. I canonly limit my observa- tions to the section of North Carolina that I visited. As far as politics are concerned, T | found that with solitary exceptions all the best elements of the people were | democrats, and the ministers, the business classes, the lawyers, and in- | deed all the respected people in the | community seemed to be solidly dem- | ocratic. This an anomaly to me, for both in Nebraska andin New England, my former home, a_portion, | at loast, of what are called substan people are of an opposite political faith. In Massachusetts, forinstance, the bulk of the democratic party is composed of the least educated and the most undesirable class of citizens, and the balance of unusually intelli- 1t and useful men. But in North olina it is just the reverse, only more 80, for I was assured that only here and there was a_ republican_who commanded any respect at all, View- ing the south in this light, then, it scemed not only natural but right that the political power should be went south in the e was from one to three feet in growth, ex copt stc fering as corn meat among all classes. advise lovers of “spring chicken” go south, orth Caro- held by the democratic party. The | former rule of the republican party | then in most of the south states was an inverted condition of society, waiving the question ot nu- merical majorities, and perhaps while not justifying the fraud” and violence | used to overthrow that rule, yet, as a dernier resort, does not merit the | wholesale condemn the north, In North Carolina the | democratic party recovered the state | government some years since, and but | Tittle violence was used; but in South | Carolina it was for the reverse. 1 conversed with several emoc politicians from that state, and they freely admitted that the election of 1876 —when Hampton was the caudi- | date for governor—was capried by fraud and by the shotzun policy; that | they cared little for 'l'lhlun, but that the people were determined to run | out” the state republican officials at any cost; and they justified the course by citing the enormous rate of tiful yards, A good deal of building is going on, and new streets are being | laid out. The city shows no- signs of tho late war, excepts in the suburbs | where an occasional chimney and | | traces of earthworks are scattered | about. The city paid dear for the | | trunk-lines in waginga war against | that the increased speed of the tion received at|ar | | of taxation, the huge steals and the | universal corruption of the re publican state officials, The general seutiment seemed to he that they cared little whether a man was a republican or not, but oon as he attempted to run | politics and to thrust him power by “‘nigger” votes and to associate with them, then he was sed man socially and other matters stand now As southern question has lost its interest, Be. the will lential in r(u]mll]\ er pres southeru states, wrongly, and as far as 1 can elections south are as free holde the not enter calnpaign power in into The all the judge, republican office- and with violence of that disappeared, necessity for |hr whether rightly or | | and open | said , under the carpet-bag regime, | is not 5o big a man as ho was six weeks them [ ago, and less worthy of attention | fully | than to own it.

By refer- ence to the statistics of canal traffic for July, the tolls collected d month amounted to only 542 as against 105,541 for thecorresponding month last year, and the tolls from ing the » time of the opening of navigation amounted to 206,357 as against $534,388 for the same period in 1880. The number of boats cleared on the canal since the opening of navigation is 2,811, and for the same period in 1880 was 4, It is cl med that the prolonged seramble for freights on the part of the compet Iroads has reduced the volume of canal bus largely below the average, and that many of the boatmen have been forced to tie up their boats, and in many cases offer them for sale, simply because business has depreciated far below a paying business that forme ly went by the canals, but it is not a business that is profitable, and the railroad war, as it is called, may be terminated at any moment. It is asserted that the present ‘“‘cutting” of rates is not alone a fight for the canal business, but is principally carried on in compe- tition with the’ Mississippi river route, It is stated that the ficht has been prolonged to bring obstinate members of the pool to terms. It is predicted when the railroads i micable terms” in the “‘peace con- gress,” to be held at $ the treight which they now most nothing will find its to the water route, over whi always been transported cheapest. From present indications it is bable that the canal tr: resume its importance. boatmen are discouraged will dispos ovportunity. to practic and will dispose of use the c: y: acceptes sle con buy their animals and in pro- in Individual | and many of their boats at the first Others are most i their de nnnmwl valuation They find cable the ex- and or towing. towing gives greater prog abandonment of anim; penses, as 1o driy all expenses ceaso delivering cargoes or waiting for bet- ter freights. Moreover, the space heretofore used as a stable can now be used for cargo, The cable company began business in April, 1880 The company intends to build a large fleot ué boats and o itself a strong competitor for grain-carrying trade. One of the evils of the Erie Canal route is that grain cannot be shipped direct from Chicago to New York, It has to be shipped to Buffalo, where it is reshipped, and the chances of the market rate ruling there have to be taken, The *“mid- dlemen” at Buffalo are much com- plained of; their fees for securing cargoes, insurance, otc., are very great, and much reduco the profits of the boatmen. The boatmen, there- fore, have no alternative except to run their eraft at a positive loss until they relieved of some of the hur\lun or tic up by the wayside until the pool lines discontinue the annual practice of “cutting” rates during the agon of navigation, It is also assetted that a stronger effort will be made to secure a “‘free canal” bill at the meeting of the next Iv,_gmlnluru. The Welland canal route is feared as a competitor of its Amer- ican rival, A Surgical Aspect of the Spoils Systen. What may be called a surgical as- pect of the spoils system has been set forth by Dr. Bliss to a correspondent of the Boston Journal. After grace- intimating that the attending surgeons of the president have known for some time that Dr. Baxter was the inspirer of wuch of the published criticism of the surgical treatmenv of the cass, Dr. Bliss tells afresh the | pretty story of his battle over the| president’s body with Baxter, and gives us this picture of the spoils sys tem in its application to so high an ffice as that of snrgeon-general of the army. It will be scen that Bliss confirms the story that an arrange ment existed between President Hayes and uccessor for the ben- efit of Gen, Swaim and Dr, Baxter: “Referring to Baxter, Dr. Bliss ‘He has cooked his goose It's overdone, in fact. He brown | physician as any one, | claim that | Dr, THE O geon-general of the army. He ought never to have been talked of for the place. 1t is known that he has not been examined for and which he probably could not It was arranged to have him menti 1 for the place, but thanks to himself, he will not he tor be even mentioned.

Mrs. Garfiel said to the wife of a cabinet cer, who repeated it to me a day two since: ‘Dr. Baxter s statement that he was ot is our family physician is su premely ridiculous. ) physician has the right to claim that he is our fami ly physician. Dr. Boynton, our rela tivo, comes as near being our family 1d he does not title.! “‘As a tter of fact,” continued the doctor, the Gar fields never had a family physici ter prescribed for them, me ofi- only ton preseribed for them, I preseribed for them, so did a dozen others When they needed the sery physician they cailed one Fad tho aiiaictty to eome sultation room next to the in sick-room of the president on the morning of | of the ¢ after the sh 1, and say: “Bliss, "L want to sec presi dent.

T admt Idon't object to that. You got all that your services were worth, We know that you are a shame and a disgrace to the medical profession of this_city.” “You're a liar,” burst cut Baxter, who was very angry. 1 was as cool as a cucumber, although I looked, Rey- burn said afterwards, very much dis- gusted, and 1 said, as coolly as pos- sible, “I am astonished and pained to see you forgetting your duties to your brother physician as a gentleman and a physician to such an extent as to apply to mc such an epithet in a place where you know 1 cannot possibly resent it.” Just here my son-ia-law Fred _foreibly expelled him. We agreed - Reyburn, Mason and my self—to hush the matter up, but Baxter vomited it about, and we had to tell the straight story to the cabinet and the family.

Washington Letter. The indorsement made by Gen Sherman on official papers and docu- ments will, in the course of time, be a matter of much study, and doubtless some little amusement to the men who have to rake over them for reference after the general has departed. Gen. Sherman uses very frequently slang in indorsing official papers, and is quite profuse in attaching to them quotations from the popular operas and plays of the day. There is one expression of his more commonly met with than any other. Almost numer- ous instances are found where he says he cannot see *“in all June” why this or that should not be An indor: ment by Gen.

McDowe quested that he be allowed to h painted a portrait of himself to lung up in his headquarters ir ancisco, In his indorsement Gen, man says that Gen. Ord and Gen. d have been allowed to have portraits painted a spe privilege, but if this kept on there would not be a second lieutenant in the army who would not want a por- trait painter to take his likeness at the expense of the government. Thus the general says, in the language of ‘*Pinafore:” “The line must be drawn somewhere, and I propose that it be drawn right here, and that no more portraits be painted at govern- mental expenses. After such an indorsement as this, it is perhaps unneces to state that Gen.
