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. Tn opinion la being strengthened every day that the man who Unit made a shirt to button behind did more for the world than one who has discovered five oomets. —Rx. The benefit ia about aa appreciable in the one cate at in the other. We suppose that if a man a arms had been so jointed as to enable him to manipulate on his back aa readily as on hit breast, the new fashion wonld have been discovered long 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 ?

Mr. Twitty heard some one in the pen, and eonoluding it was nogro thieves,* slipped oat there with a shot gun and commenced firing.
