THURSDAY MORNING... January 9. IMS
Southern Destitution—lts Causes. —A
few of our newspapers have ’be senso to
perceive tho true causes of the destitution
which is thus early in tho soaSon manifesting?
itself in all parts of the South, and the
candor to set them before the people. The
Memphis Bulletin, reviewing lbs alarming
condittb'n Os things, concludes that “ misfor
tunes teach our people no lesson ; like tho
Bourbons they learn nothing and forget
nothing. The thing to learn is—to raise pro
visions; the thing to forget is—raising cotton
and buying lood.” It seemed certain that
the terrible suffering of lost winter would
prove an effectual lessou, and that a suffi
cient supply of food would not again be
wanting. Reports from all parts of the
South during the summer have been to the
effect that a very large breadth of corn had
been planted and that the crop was a full
one. These reports either resulted from
wrong impressions or they were misrepresen
tations. The fact is, as the Bulletin de
clares, that “ there have been planters who
thought it would be * smart’ to grow cotton,
and make money by it ; then buy cheap
corn of neighbors less 1 smart’ than them
selves.” Cotton did not prove a money,
making business last year ; and there were
so many of the “ smart’’ plauters who
hoped it would, that the amount of material
for food turned out extremely small. Such
are the causes of much of the present desti
tution nt the South, and not the operation of
any civil or political measures.
The Liberty (Miss.) Herald, thus gen
erally though truly states the case: “ Our
present unhappy situation is owing to labor
and capital misdirected in the past, to the
failure on the part of our people to make
this country self-sustaining, ami unless the
evil is remedied, we shall inevitably grow
worse in the fnture.''
Congress. —“ Things is working,” at
Washington. It will soon be decided
whether the Hill-ites (the rule or ruin anti
reconstructionists of Georgia) or Congress
shall have the say-so. The national legisla
tors will, doubtless, pass at an early day the
House bill amending the reconstruction
laws, so as to allow a majority of votes cast
to ratify the new Constitution. It is very
probable, too, that he present provisional
State Governments will be abolished entirely
and the Conventions authorized to establish
new ones until the Constitution is ratified.
TnE South Carolina Convention. 1 —
This body will meet on the 14th of January.
Official information shows the convention to
be composed of one hundred and twenty
four delegates, of whom fifty-five arc white
and sixty-nine colored.
Is it Law? —The State Constitutional
Convention have passed an ordinance sus
pending collections under legal process.
This ordinance was designed to be tempo
rary only. Its purpose was to stav execu
tions and prevent oppression and hardship
until that body could present a well-digested
and permanent ordinance for the relief of
the people.
So long, therefore, as this temporary
ordinance stands uurepealed, it is a law. It
is law until its illegality (if the ordinance be
illegal) is so declared by soma competent
tribunal. Therefore, all sales inside in
defiance of it are illegal and void.
We pity any man who may he thoughtless
enough to buy property under sale made in
defiance of such ordinance. We would not
envy the position of that civil officer who
may proceed to make sale of property under
legal process in contempt of that ordinance.
The question is not whether the ordinance
is just or politic; but is it binding’ until
superceded by another, .or until declared
illegal by some competent tribunal ? There
can be but one opinion on this point.
We have heqrd it intimated that the city
Marshal of Atlanta would proceed with the
sale of property, in contempt of the ordi
nance of the Convention suspending all such
sales. We are slow to believe this report.
Such a proceeding will lend to much trouble
and confusion, if any man can be found
willing to buy property under such circum
stances, we should dislike to take his
chances for title. Piudent men will.not be
caught in such a snap. It might prove a
hazardous business to both officer and pur
chaser.—Atlanta Opinion.
Ocean Postal Service, 18G8.—The
British Government having made anew
contract with Cunard and Mclver, and
granted subsidies to the luman and Bremen
Companies, the mails next year will leave
Southampton by tho Bremen line on
Tuesdays. Queenstown by the luman line on
Thursdays, and Queenstown by the Cunard
line on Sundays. The last named company
have discontinued the service between New
York and Nassau, and also the fortnightly
service between Queenstown and Halifax,
which has been undertaken by the luman
Company. Mr. Win. Cunard has under
taken the service between Halifax, Bremen,
and St. Thomas for $14,000 a year. Cunard
and Mclver receive £OO,OOO a year. The
Inman and Bremen Companies pay thom
setves out of the ocean postage.
The arrangements of our own Govern
ment for the next year are as follows : The
mails leave new York by the Bremen line
on Tuesdays, by the Cunard on Wednes
days, by the Hamburg on Thursdays, and
by the Irnnan on Satcrdays. All the com
panies rely upon the receipts from ocean
postage for their pay. The Cunard Com
pany will also despatch steamers to New
York and Boston, on Tuesday, which will
carry letters at the usual ship rates, as will
also tho lines between Liverpool and Bos
ton, Baltimore, and New Orleans, the
National Steamship lino of Onion & Cos.,
and tho Allen Horn puny, which has been
subsidized by the Canadian Government.

—ln .Mississippi the newspapers are
anxious for planters’ meetings to consider
agricultural affairs, and with regard to this
matter the Holly Springs (Miss.) Ilecorder
says: “Planters must agree to the wages to
bo paid by them for laborers, and the
course to bifpursued toward lazy, insolent,
faithless hands. Unlsss they do this, and
that soon, before the hiring of hands for the
coming year, there is in the future trouble
for the honest tillers of the soil.”
FOI!HIGH SUMMARY.
Tho Germans, it is stated, are beginning
to print their books in Roman type. It is
found much clearer and less trying to the
eyes than the Gorman characters.
Poland does not appear to improve at all
in business. It lias a large trade, and
manufactures largely, but no more than for
many years past, and the condition of the
artisans is wretched.
The London Times publishes a statement
that the foundations of Solomon’s Temple
have been exhumed, and that even the pin
nacle on which the tempter placed our
Saviour has been uncovered to its base.
Reports from Algeria describe the most
frightful sufferings among the Arabs. The
cholera has already carried off 52,000 of
them, and now they are threatened with a
terriblo famine. An appeal lias been made
to France for help.
It is reported from Paris that the Em
peror is of late extremely petulant. None
of the ministers is exempt from receiving
tokens of his ill-temper, and affairs have
come to that pass that they go on with the
public business independently as far as
possible, and submit to the Emperor only
so much as is absolutely necessary.
Some deputies in the North German Par
liament complained recently of the action
of Russia in suppressing the German lan
guage in the Baltic provinces. Count Bis
marck, in reply, expresses his sorrow at
the course of Russia, but thought govern
ment could do nothing to prevent it. He
is said to have evinced a marked desire to
keep on good terms with the St. Petersburg
Cabinet.
The condition of the Empress Charlotte
continues to improve. She goes out every
day, when the wesfther permits, for a long
drive or a walk. She visits their majesties
regularly twice a woek at Brussels, and the
rest of her time is divided between music
and painting, for which latter art she has a
great aptitude. The Queen, her sister in
law, docs not allow a day to pass without
going to see her, and she receives frequent
visits from the King and the Count and
Countess do Flandre.
—Napoleon’s chief of Paris has an eye
to politics as well as to the beauty and con
venience of his city improvement. When
the Empress said to him, looking at one of
his lonw, straight boulevards, just opened,
‘‘Why did you make that boulevard so long
and straight? it is tiresome.” ‘ Mndamo,”
replied the prefect, ‘‘l made it very long
and vory straight because the generals of
the artillery, whom I consulted a great deal
on the subject, assured mo that it was im
possible to teach eannou balls to turn round
the first corner to the left.”
—A Brusols newspaper states that tb*
French police seized the Fenian headquar
ters in Paris, where they discovered most
important documents throwing light on tho
conspiracy against England. Among tho
documents was, it is said, a plan for the
burning of the British channel fleet. All
the papers were forwarded to London. The
Commander-in-Chics of the British army in
Ireland was in extraordinary activity against
a Fenian movement. Ilis precautions were
mninly directed to tho counties of the South
and the West coast of the island, whore a
revolutionary “landing” was looked for.
The magisterial investigation in the case of
the Clbrkcnvell explosion has had no results.
The prisoners are remandod and tho easo is
envoloped in mystery.
Pap on Death. —The anti-reconstruction,
disunion, Amorite press of Georgia, are
resolved on “pop” or "death.” Their motto
at this time is, ‘‘Give us pap or give us
death.” As between “pap” or "death,” we
would go ii. on "pap” all the time.- Atlanta
