refers to a prevalent rumor that D. C.
Humphreys, formerly of Huntsville, Ala.,
now of Washington, D. O., will take the
Judgeship for Alabama lately vacated by
Judge Buateed. Other papers think that
Governor Lewis or ex-Gov. Parsons will
receive the appointment.

The Baltimore Amerimn accepts vary
philosophically the division of the negro
▼oto of the country. It says: **lt will be
a curious, and not altogether undesirable
result, if the elections cause snch a change
of front aa to relieve the Republican party
of the speoial guardianship of the colored
voters. They have beou rather an olo-
pliant to that party, and it will bo a mat
ter of curiosity to see how tho Democrats
will get along with them.
The New Orleans I'icaj/uns', ot Wednes
day, says that the official returns from all
the parishes in Louisiana have been
ooived, except those fiotn Avoyelles, Oar-
roll, Grant, Red River, Vernon and
White, and thut tho mnjority for tho Con
servative Bfato ticket is 7,17!). It thiuks
that the returns from the remaining six
parishes will reduce this majority from
threo to four thousand votes. It thinks
that Morey, ltad., in tho 5th, and Nash,
colored Rod., in tho,tfth Congressional
Districts, are olooted by small majorities.
IIon. A.’ H. Stephens. —Daring the late
canvass, some of tho journals of tho State
could not repress sharp strictures upon
the oourso of Hon. A. 11. Stephens in de
fending Gen. Grant’s oourso towards
Louisians and hiu quasi-defence of
third Presidential term. Desiring to
avoid any participation in this controver
sy, so far as it related personally to Mr.
Stephens, we repressed two communica
tions seut to us on the snbject. Ono of
them censured, uud the other dofondod
and extalied Mr. Stephens. We make
this explanation for tho benefit of tho
writers, who may not otherwise under
stand why their articles did not appear.
On the day of the late State elections,
the people of South Carolina voted upoa
andratiftol three nmomlmoiits to tho
State Constitution. Two of them aro
unimportent, as they only related to the
ohange of county boundaries and the
ihortening of tho terms of somo State
ottoers. The third amendment provides
that tho Gonoral Assembly shall not au
thorize any conuty, city, town or village
to beooms a stockholder in or to loan its
crodit to any company association or cor
poration, for any amouut in excess of five
per oeutuin of the assessed valne of tho
taxablo property of Buoh county, city,
town ot village, nor without the approval
of a majority of tho legal voters of snob
oonnty, oity, town or villago, expressed at
an election duly held according to law.
Tua New York Tribune referring to
the reported plain declarations by the
President of his opposition to the Civil
Rights bill, and asserting that the Presi
dent only wauts to nse this qnostion na a
means of strengthening his own popular
ity, says: “The President is reported os
being iu high glee over the oioctiou of
Mr. Btophens in Georgia and Mr. Cham
berlain in South Carolina, both on tho
third term platform. But we doubt if
any one ever appearod in public life iu
thia country of an ignorauoo so child
like as to suppono that the white oonstit.
uents of Stephens and tho black constitu
ents of Chamberlain could bo kept to
gether in a canvass iu wliioh the Presi
dent appealed to tho country to sustain
him in a veto of the Civil Rights bill."
Gen. N. P. Banes was elected to Con
gress in one of the Massachusetts Dis
tricts by a combination of the Democrats
and Liberal Republicans. Wo havo soon
it stated that his mnjority is larger than
that of any other Massachusetts Repre
sentative elect of either party. As ho
was thus elected, ami is moreover a man
of much iufiuenco in any legislative body
of which ho may bo a member, his opin-
ions on tho practical questions of tho day
are invested with moro than ordinary iti-
torest. In a letter writteu since tho late
elections, be says : “I accept tho impor
taut results of tho election which hns just
closed in MasRauhnsetts, ns in other parts
of tho country, not only with satisfaction,
but with a feeling of thanksgiving, in the
fullest confidence that they will bo used
for tho rouuiou aud pacification of
estranged section.-) of tho Republic, the
restoration of its prosperity, and tho pro.
tectiou of all classes and races in the
enjoyment of all their rights.”
—A special dispatch from Washington
aays: “The President is represented os
being greatly enraged at tho course of
oertain officeholders who are reported to
him as having worked against the regular
nominees of the parly at tho lato elections.
He threatens to remove them at once. It
has already been suggested to him that a
reorganization of a number of the Federal
offices would do good on tho score of of-
“HOD*: It Alio*.”
We remember the amusement that used
to be afforded by on anecdote in circula
tion among tha'boys about a “green Irish
man" Just landed iu America. The story
waa that his mind was filled with appre
hensions of the wild “varthinta" that he
had to encounter in this strange country;
and that one evening ha had to pass after
dark through a Swamp and woods abound
ing with owls, whippoorwills, fife flies,
frogs, Ac. According to bis aooonnt of
the passage, given after be had arrived at
a place of safety, he waa hailed, while
going through the swamp, by a stern
voice demanding “Hoot! hoot! who’s
that?” Another fellow, to his right, sang
out “Wbip-hlm-well!" and ho could see
his eysa flash fire. And he verdy believed
that old Satan and all bia imps would havo
gotten him, but for one compassionate
gentleman down at the edge of the
water, who sang out “M-o-d e-r-a-M-o-n !
m-o d-e-r-a-t-i-o-n!”
Wa are glad that in tha midst of all the
clamor that hA8 been raised about “Ku-
klnx,” “intimidation," depriving the no-
groes of their rights, Ac., we can uow
hear above everything else tho voice of
this oompassionate gentleman ut tho wa
ter’s edge, crying oat “Moderation! Mod
eration!” The trnth is that the ap-
prehenaions of the white Radicals
and their negro dopes were never any
better founded than those of our fright
ened Irishman. Tho Conservative party
of this oonntry—both North and South—
have been pleading for “moderation" for
tho lost eight or ten years. When Radi
calism has gone “ontside of the constitu
tion" for expedients by which to pnnish
the Bonth or to prolong the role of the
party in power, the Conservatives of the
oonntry hove earnestly called for “mod-
oration"—the moderation of constitution
al government. All the time that the
lladioal party have been oarrying out the
policy of bato aud oppression, the white
people of the Month have plead for “mod-
oration." All the time that the*carpet
baggers and white Radical office-seekers
of tho South have been fanning the an
tagonism of the negroos against the
Southern Dom&orats and inciting them
to acts of violence and aggression, the
policy of tho Conservatives of tho
Booth has been that of “moderation."
While Radicalism has squandered money
with a lavish hand, and piled on taxes
with a heavy hand, both iu the States and
iu tho nation, tho Conservatives of tho
country havo called out “Moderation."
Tho Democratic party of to-day is a party
of “moderation," and It will not forget,
its principles in the hoar of its over
wholming trimupb. It will deprive no
cUrr of oitizens of their constitutional
rights; it will visit no section of tho
oonntry with oppression and wrath; it
will harrass no part of tho people with
causeless persecutions and political tyrany;
it will, wo verily belleve,roduce the expen
ses of government and lighten the bur
dens of Ibo poople.
But we trust that tho defoated party
will appreciate the magnanimity that so
loudly calls for moderation now and will
praotico it when it suoccoda to power.
The ory is raised at a time when a South
ern Stuto is still groaning beneath the
usurpation of rulers imposed upon her and
upheld iu power by Federal bayonets. It
is raisod while Federal infantry occupy
many positions in the Southern States as
a menace to the people, and Federal cav
alry are raiding somo sections for the
promotion of party ends. It is raisod at a
time when the roar of Gatling guns and
musketry to fasten a tyranny upon a por
tion of our people has scarce ceased its
revorbrations—when tho marks of the
haud enffs are still to be soon on tho wrists
of innocent citizens of Alabama
arrested aud carried far from their homes
for party ends—when Federal marshals
are still daily making arrosts in Southern
Statos, on charges that are generally
proved to be utterly unfounded when in
vestigated, and which, evon if true, wonld
be considered trivial if made in otbor
sections of the Union. It is in tbo face
of exasperations snob os these that the
Democrats of the South counsel modera
tion at home, and plead with thoir victo
rious brethren of the North to he govern
ed and controlled by moderation also.
Tho Radical party has siuued greatly and
hns good cnnt)o for apprehension; but
wo rejoice that high above the shouts of
party triumph rises the voice of the com
passionate goutlemon at the very brink
of the water, crying for “M-o-d-e-rta-
t-i-o-n 1 " We heartily re-echo the ory.
COMMON BENUE.
It is always a pleasure to quote from
a Northern jouruul ideas that corroborate
onr own often expressed thought. “II 0,"
of the New York lime*, in a reoeot letter,
after discussing the manner of educating
tho youth of the South, prior to the war,
and how unfitted all were to moot tho
changes and social revolution that resulted
from it, speaks as follows of that impov
erishing policy of
THE CttKDCT StBTEM.
Under these circumstances thero was
but one path open to the property owners.
They must borrow money to cultivate
their land. At this time cotton wns sell
ing at au enormous price, and in Mont
gomery, Mobile, and other trade centres
there were provident men, many of them
Jews, who, seeing an opportunity for
speoulatiou, made advances totkoownors
of the plantations, with tho understand
ing that they should bo pu’d when
tho harvest came. With tho money
thus secured mules were pur
chased, implements seonred, and negro
luborers employed. The result was at
Arid very promising. The crop was an
exceedingly lnrge one, cotton prioes ruled
very high, and the majority of the fann
ers not only made a profit, but were able
to pay off the money they hod borrowed.
In this way the credit system was coin-
inenood. Since then it has beeu extended
moro or loss iuto every branch of trade,
and is so conducted as to bo a curse to tho
land, and one of the chief causes of the ex
isting poverty. Seeing that they had
douo so well tho first year, the planters
borrowod extravagant sums of mduey,
w hich was gladly advanced by men who
bad become rioli by former transactions.
But the years which followed were disas
trous ones. Men who had learned only
to play wonld not work when their very
existenoo did not depend upon it. The
»t properly cultiva
wero unable to pay their debts. To live
they were obliged to plant, and to culti
vate the soil they required labor, lhey
could get no more money, however, and
by mutual consent the negroes agreed to
work for a share of the crop, the land
owners to supply them with food and*
shelter. Corn, bacon, and the barest nec-
iee of life were advanced by the pro
duce* merchants, who were suroly to be
C id when the ootton was picked. Again,
wever, the seasons were bod, and more
bacon and corn had to be procured. In
this way, year by year, the farmers have
been ainking deeper and deeper into debt,
aud the merchants approaching nearer
bankruptcy. The one moat borrow to
live, and the other lends in the hope of
ultimately being repaid what he has al
ready advanced.
Tne credit system hss now become
universal. Here in Montgomery the great
majority of all classes of citizens run iu
debt for everything they consume. There
is one merchant who tells tne that he ba«
outstanding acooonte to the amount of
#75,000, aud that some of his customers
have been iu his debt for npward of three
years. In order to earry on busmens he
is of course obliged to charge four prioes
for everything. Even in the smallest
transactions oredit is demanded. The
other evening a loading gentleman of this
place invited me to have an oyBter stew.
Wo went into a restaurant, and after the
oysters had been oaten the waiter brought
my companion a cheek on which was writ
ten, “I promise to pave Youngo sixty
cents." This was signed, and we walked
ont without a word. After drinking a
gloss of beer the same scene was repeat*
ed. How this is to end no one appears to
know. This year the ootton crop has
been quite good, and the planters aro
paying off a part of their debts ; bat as
soon os they nave done so they again open
an aoconnt, and for every hundred dol
lars’ worth of goods delivered they are
charged with one hundred aud twenty to
one hundred and forty dollars. The shop
keepers must make outrageous charges in
order to conduct busines-t uuder the exist
ing system.
WANT OF EHEBOY—FALSE PRIDE.
Reared as they were, it was perhaps not
to have been expected that the youug men
of Alabama wonld immediately realize
that only by hard, earnest work coaid
they hope to prosper. It took them some
years to discover that brilliant conversa
tional powers and a happy knack of kill
ing quail on the wiug would not win them
a place in tho world. Many of the youths
who were children at tho close of the war
have not yet learned the lesson, and, with
no energy and a great deal of false pride,
they are to be fouud lolling about the
street corners of Mobile, Montgomery,
and other lesser places, waiting for a
clerkship or some other “genteel employ
ment" Doing this, they wonder that
they are poor, and wail over the fate of
widowed mothers, who, as they state,
havo not always beou strangers to the
pangs of hunger. Some of these young
gentlemen call themselvos doctors, and
many of (hem say they aro lawyers. It
is this class of men who, with plenty
of time and nothing to do, get into
political disputes, and excite bitter parti
san feelings among their fellows. They
Aro sometimes eloquont speakers, and
during electioneering campaigns borrow
wagons and horses and go through tho
country discoursing tipou tho impoverished
condition of tho State, forgotting „to
montiou, however, that much of tho
poverty has been caused by tho non-pro
ducing class which thoy represent. How
those young men exist is often a mystery.
They pick up s few dollars by borrowing
from thoso who are foolish enough to lend-
nover returning the money, however; for
although they would havo the world be*
liove that they are souls of honor, and
would consider it their duty to shoot down
any one who wonld intimate in the
moot remote degree that sach was not the
cose, they never retnrn a loan, and are
exceedingly forgetful of the bills which
they owe their washerwomen.
‘.‘What can these young men do?" was
asked mo by a Southorn gentleman to
whom I spoke in relation to the matter.
The qaestioa is easily answered. Alaba
ma is an agripulttiral State. There arc
thonsands of acres of rich land which
even strangers can secure at little or no
cost. Every aero of laud in ordinary
times produces half a bale of cotton, and
a bale of ootton sells for #05 to #70. Veg
etables can be grown here iu abundance,
and fruits spring up almost spontaneous
ly. Let these young gentlemen who pride
themselves so much upon their honor, be
come indeed honorable workmen. Let
them ooase to live upon the lean
bounty of others, and as they know
how to do nothing else, let them at
loast till enough of their native State to
support themselves honestly. If they will
not do this, or if, as they contend, tho
soil cannot be cultivated without plows
aud mules, which they cannot securo.tken
let them work on the shnro system with
the planters, who sro everywhere com
plaining of the scarcity of labor. In this
way they can live honestly, and oven save
money. The ignorant negroes do so,
many of them keeping large families as
well. Oue blaok man in this couuty,with
the aid of his wife and little boy, lived
comfortably during the past yoar, and
now hns #240 iu ready money as his share
of the orop. This is, of oonrse, a rare
case, but cannot strong, intelligent young
white men do what negroes have done ?
