TH* coming sea»ftf promise' to be a Imost prosperous one to. (lie people of-the .South. They have.made handsomely out of the present crop of cotton, and every where there a»e indications of increased activity in business. The following from tl»e Mesthaotbe, published in St. Jean .Baptist, Leuisiana, is a fair specimen of what the press of the $outii contains now-a-days "Tha people living on the Ma sen hills are rapidly regaining the independence and cemforts to. which tbey were accustomed ip ante bellum times.— iTie woods are becoming well stocked with cattle and hag*, those .necessary ad-, juncts of prosperity."

THE Chicago Republican heartily commends that thofrughly sensible British Judge who recently instructed his jury against what is called "an exemplary verdict" in a breach of promiso case, such examples being mischievous and danger* ous to the rights qnd probity of both sexes. It openg a ready method of extortion to any ambitious female of the lamented GOT. AHDBK^'B "anxious and aimless" class and, besides, as the Judge referred tg pertinently remarks, it is of no service to community: "to frighten ai man into, a marriage with a woman he did not like by heavy damages," It is far better to find out and act upon du* likesjof this kind before the knot is tied

IT.AFJKAU from an Oriental correspondeot of a IJew York paper, that the riorticg ef-the-eteanr-horre is scon to be beard in Persia. The St ah bas granted to a company of English capitalists the exclusive right to construct railways in the country for a period of twenty yearsThese capitalists begin operations with A short roSd extending, from the capital to the suburban village of Rey, a famous weekly resort of pigus TBheranlees "Wflrk has already begun, and the engineer employed estimates that the line can ba,constructed and stocked for le%8 than $500,000, on which t^ig pa#»«tiger traffic of some ferty thousand devotees a week will,he reckons,yield a remunerative dividend. exclusive of an eight per cent, guarantee. From this event will doubtless date the civilisation, or, rather, 'tbe re-civiliratlon, of Persia.'

SEVERAL of our State exchanges are slashing away at "th» bolters," laying on the fearful stripes of their cruelly incisive sarcasm as if thev expected to draw blood II It may prove a paying operation thus to keep alive the embers oi discord in the mi,.

Oh» thing^s.certain, the bolters carry a very' respeQtable proportion, of "tl^e brains'*'of this General Assembly, and though we don't know that they make any special, pretensions to piety, it is not impossible that cooscienco may have had something to.do with their, action io -the late unforiunate affair. They,- are men who have performed their. fulL share of la^o^ ip building up the J^publican party' in: this State, and have given ^s convincing evidence of their devotion to Republican principles as an^r of the men

JOHNSON.

the employmont of their labor in getting an honest living Iq view of liiose fftcla .a ooleraporary portinontly inquires: "Which is the better policy—giving lands nearly three to one to the non-producers who in no respect need them, or allowing the producers who are poor and need land for their homes to have it in limited allotments, thus increasing the number of independent families and decreasing the number of the poor and the criminal classes?"

There is but one answer to this question among fair minded people.

We da not believe that 'Justice" requires*

the Government to do any more for Mrs. LINCOLN than it does for the wido.ws of soldiers who lost, their,lives jn the military or naval- service during the late war. It is well known that Mrs. LINCOLN took from the Government, without permission or authority, property equal in val-

per month I The whole thing is fraught I

with wron^ and outrage, disgraceful to I "inS

the Government tbatdirccts itnd the poo- I

pie who tolerate it.

r.TVe are willing that Mrs. LINCOLN should have as bigh a- pension as the widow of the noblest private or officer wko died on tho field of battle. By existing laws that cannot be less than $96, npr more than $360 per yean Will the Journal be good enough to tell us why sbflj should have more? j'! .• itsi*33 ijJiA

defective, the Republican party camoout of the last Slate election with a margin quite too narrow for speculative purposes. The road from Majority to Minority is but a very short one, and the surest way to send tho party booming along, at more tban Dexter speed, over that route, is to continue an unfortunate quarrel,—' No man has aright to say that the bolters did not act in accordance with their ideas of duty^ There ia no evidence that, in a! single instance, they'have been censured by anything like Vgeneral expression of disapproval on the 'pan of their immediate constituents. 'Would it not be quite as well then, for the press to leave these gentlemen to answer for their conduct to tbse constituents? And wouldn't it be better for the future of the party to pour oU upon' the troubled waters, rather thpn to keep constantly trying to blow the gale inioa hurricane?

IN THE Senate on Thursday Mr. Bus kirki of Monroe, submitted the following ^solution

WiHKBEAS, It is reported that the New York and Erie Railroad has leased the Columbus, Chicago ant Indiana Central, and Uie Ohio and Mississippi railways, for ninety,-nine years And whereas, no law. of thie State of Indiana authorizes such, lease and whereas, such lease is ihn centralization of large and dangerous powers in a corporation not under the control of the Legislature of tbis State, and calcuinted to add largely, to the bt^rdens of the agricultural and other vital interests of Indiana: therefore

Resolved, That the Spetial Railroad Comfiittee be required to examine into sticli tnhivwi with power to send for person»"^Bd,
