Cfrt gaUj frtss. City Printer-Official Paper LAR6BST (TTY CIIMTLATION. AUdUSTA. ttA.I SATURDAY MORNING ...„.Ort. I*. ISM Labor for the South. The great And important qiiNtiin fw the South is, what are we to do for labor ? Is free black labor to be depend «<l on, or must the South look to Kurope for its supplies in this respect ? The accounts from different States, aud even Irom different portions es the same State, dif fer as to the reliability of the former. Upon enquiry, we learn from several farmers ot Georgia that the negruw are doing well with them, while others can uot succeed in getting them to work. In Louisiana, too, they are reported as unreliable, and so in other States re ports vary. The fact is, we thiuk that there are numbers of good negroes wbo are willing to work, but that there are more who are unwilling to work, and, therefore, the race, as a whole, can not be depended upon for the successful cul tivation of the soil. If they could be, we should prefer to employ them, because we teel none but the kindliest feelings toward the black in the South, and would rather have them as friends, and as honest, industrious citiiens, than otherwise; and whenever they can be encouraged, we are of the opinion that it should be done; but the planters of the South mast look to their interests as well as to the interests of their section, and wherever the tree black labor sys tem fails, they must, as a measure ot ne cessity, adopt some other. This is one important reason why the planters in the several counties should orgauize themselves into Agricultural Associations, and also unite in State or ganizations ; for this labor question is gous to be a difficult as well as animpor tant one,and will require unity ol action on the part of planters to result in any thing good to them and to their section of the Union. Some have proposed the Coolie sys tem ; but that is unsuited to the South, in our judgment, and not likely to be adopted. It will involve the introduction of a race of people who will not be at all desirable as citizens, nor, we tear, re liable as laborers. Others have suggested the tenantry system—the division of large plantations into small farms, the alternate ones to be rented or sold to white emigrants, and the teuantry thus established to be hired to work the intervening ones. This would probably work well on large estates, but the small farmers could not adopt it, aud so it could not become general in its application. Another proposition is to bring Euro pean laborers, who, it is announced, are willing to work on shares, and reqnire only the payment of their passage money and plain food and clothing for the first year, the expenses, we believe, to be deducted from their share of the pro ceeds of the farm or plantation when ever a settlement is effected. A letter from a Southern genllemau in Europe gives the particulars of the plan, and we regret that we are unable to present it to our readers, because it seems to us to offer the most advautageous terms of any of the plairn or proposals yet pre sented. In a physical as well as in a pecuniary and political point of view, we think it advisable that white labor should be introduced as far as practicable ; but it must be upon some uniform and gene ral system, otherwise it will prove nu injury instead of a benefit. The intro duction of a respectable class of citizens into the South would not only be advau tageous in the development of our re sources and the application of them to practical purposes, but, also, in increas ing in population and enlarging the basis ot Southern representation in Congress, if that privilege is ever vouchsafed to us. The Richmond Dispatch, in an article on “ Negro Tenantry,” throws out the following suggestions, which, if they were practicable, we should like to see adopted ; but we fear that they are not, for if the negroes are unreliable as hired laborers, they will be equally unreliable and undesirable as tenants. Jlowcveri we wish them well, aud give the sug gestion of the Dispatch, believing, as we do, that the subject is one of great importance and worthy of the widest discussion : Nkoro TzKANTity.—The subject of negro lalior is surrounded with so many embarrassments that si is difficult as yet to reduce it to anything like a system. A considerable proportion is worthless and unreliable; another portion is un settled in its habits, but yet capable, and not indisposed to render good ser vice for a few day* at a lime in au emergency. Rut we are confident in the belief that the number of those who are steady and industrious, aud who can be depended upon for their regular labor, is by no means small. In the neighborhood of the cities the demor alization is greatest, and consequently there is more complaint among em ployers. Rut in the country at large, and especially in those district* where the white population is most intelligent and refined, the freedmen retain many of tbe qualities that were formed during a state of servitude. Those who were servant* of good and humane masters are, witb few exceptions, tlm very best class of the colored population, and tbe employment of such will not be apt to be followed by disappointment. The great want of fanners at this critical period is a class of laborers who may be depended on lor regular, steady and continued service ; and it is confi dentlv bolievral they may be found in tbe class alluded to.

Orkoox “Kxruxnxs.- A dispatch from Oregon reports that the Legist" that State hat expunged its former pro- Amendment, by a rut* »f 24 *° * X ’ doubtless*, ha* referent* m>lj IO .V>« action ot the House of Representatives, and the apparent inconsistency of it* course may 1* explained by » reference to former dispatches. The Oregon House of Representa tives first ratified the amendment by the close vote of 25 to tL Subsequently, two Radical members from one of the eouqtito. who had no real claim to seats, aud only held them because of creden tials that could not stand the test of inquiry, were ousted, and their seats givou to the Democratic members right fully elected. The amendment was rati fied (so-called), aud a United States Senator elected, before giving the Dcm ocrats their seats, because the Radicals knew that they would lose the control of the House as soon as the rightful members were admitted. The change would make parties in the House stand —Democrats and Conservatives 24, Radicals, 23 ; aud this is said to have been the vote by which the ratification of the amendment was expunged. The outrage of keeping two Democrats out of their seats until the Radicals could do the important work of the session was enough to arouse ipijiguatiou and retaliatory legislation. We suppose that the reformed House will also protest against the election of the Radical United States Senator as illegal. —Co lumbus Enquirer, Oct. 9. [From the Round Table. Matrimony and Moloch. The annual season for weddings, with all their concomitants of brilliancy and gayety, is close at hand again. It mat ters not what of truth there may have been, or still may be, in the old adage, “Those that are iu would fain get out, while those that are out would fain get in,” matrimonial enthusiasm is seldom disturbed by unpropitious prophesies or the sour saws of those who have gone before. Ever the sound of joy begins anew, and ever the doors are besieged by suitors. And so, almost before the leaves have fallen under which and the stars vows were first whispered, audible and irrevocable pledges will be given for life. Loves that began mysteriously among the mountains or at the sea-side scarcely three mouths since, will soon be consummated with all the glitter possi ble for city extravagance. Once more the “anxious and aimless’’ will ponder well the daily budget of matrimonial announcements. Again the florists, jewelers, milliners, and confectioners are beaming with spirits and high priees. An unusual number of marriages are to transpire before the holidays. The dia mond dealers have found it out, and were never so radiant with the iusignia of fashion and flummery. The edict has gone forth that marriages must he celebrated with more prodigality than ever. All the fascinations of rich colors and the incantations of mellifluous sounds must aid in giving eclat to the occasions, and unfortunate will be they who do not heed the behests of society. We welcome the return of these glad days of wedding festivities. We like to see them celebrated with brilliancy and gayety; but there is too often a prodi gality and senseless waste attending them which are out of taste and beyond the bounds of reason. For instance, it not unfrequently happens that a young couple make a display at their wedding which is utterly beyond the possibilities of their own or their friends’ income. We have seen others where the profuse ness of diamonds aud lavish display in every detail betokened almost princely wealth, and in a few weeks after the bril liaut couple have been found in contract ed and almost poverty-stricken rooms near the loft of some boarding house. Os course, no one can complain of the exhibition of wealth made by those who really possess it, and no fault can be found with a splendid wedding if the same style of living is in some degree maintained after the festivities are over. Those who have fortunes are certainly their own masters thereof. These are not the persons toward whom we would direct these criticisms. We mean rather those who cannot alTonl these displays and yet who suffer their pride to take them far beyond prudence and proprie ty. Hardly a day passes in the autumn months without several weddings of this character transpiring in this city. There is the most unbounded extravagance, followed by a most expensive tour, and then the couple sink into utter obscurity in some second rate boarding-house. They received gorgeous presents, and these they have carried with them to their retreat. They sparkled in dia monds on the “glad auspicious day,’ 1 but have not been seen to wear them since. In fuct, the contrast becomes notable, and Lieml* wonder that they who could so ill afford it, should have made such a foolish display on the occa sion of the marriage festivities. Asa general rule, we are of the opinion that quiet weddings are much the most tasteful. To make this most sacred of all ceremonies a matter of public ostentation is absolutely vulgar. It is something with which the outside world have certainly very little to do, and simply to call a throng together to gaze upon gayety and glitter shows a lack of good taste which most*people would not be willing to acknowledge. The purest and truest society will not allow such customs to make common their sacred und social ri’es. Especially at the present time, when course ex travagance and reckless prodigality are the rule rather thun the exception, it ill becomes those who have taste and a love for propriety to lend their encour agement to such foolish demonstrations. A little more of honest affection and somewhat less of diamoud glitter would certainly be a decided improvement. We look upon it ns nn infinitely greater disgrace for a couple to be married with expenditure* beyond their mesne than to bevo a simple private ceremony, looked upna indeed by few, but quite as likely to be long and pleasantly remem bered. In other words, we would have these rites attended with good sense. It matters little what this or that neigh bor will say. Better, a thousand times bettor, the quiet first and display after ward, than a great demonstration fol lowed by enforced economy. There is certainly too much show attendant upon the majority of weddings, and so great an evil has this become, that not a few young couples are too proud to be mar ried until they can compete with their wealthy neighbors. \V c sometimes think that the good old ways oi honest lovo and sensible matri mony are for ever passed away. There is so much of absurd mechanism about latter-day lore-iuakiug, that the lifo and sparkle of the little goddess seem to have forsaken us. There is not that; sacredness about an engagement to marry that there once was. It is quite the fashion of modern belles and beau ties to yield up their hearts most grace fully and entirely, and when the fit seizes them, to abruptly withdraw in favor of some new-found satellite. They often seem to consider this a legitimate privilege, especially granted to their dear selves. And it often happens that a young lady, who becomes most sacredly engaged to a young man, finds that he can not make the display in life which her aspirations call for, and suddenly severs the ties that have bound them. In fact, the sins of society are becoming more and more aggravated as the love of display and curse of wealth grow more tyrannical. There is too much of diamond brilliancy, and too little of respect, trust, and love. A brown-stone house, elegant wardrobe, and the vari ous privileges of wealth cover a multi tude of weakness. Even if .a man has been a consummate rake, so be it he has wealth, his previous history is not too strenuously inquired after. Hence come misery and divorces, and all so cial crimes. Against this we would lift onr voice, and present to the young the greater inducements for being pure, simple, unostentatious, prudent and sensible. The Eight Hour System.—Candi dates for Congress in Ohio and other parts of the West are pledging them selves to go for the enactment of a law making eight hours a legal day’s work. The working people must be remarkably verdant if they rely upon these promises. A candidate for office would promise, not only to reduce the hours of labor, but to reduce the price of food and clothing to any figure that might be, demanded. And lie would go farther if required, and promise to enact a law compelling the sun to pospone its rising far an hour or two in the morning and set in the middle of the afternoon, aud cause the wheat to grow up in the shape of biscuit and hot-rolls, and sheep to grow broadcloth instead of wool. The people need never be disconsolate or broken-hearted if the promises of poll ticnuis can make them happy. But if they ever expect to see promises fulfilled, they have faith that would move the Rocky Mountains and need never feel any apprehension about the future.— N. Y. Daily News. Trials. —An hour in our life will surely cotne wben we shall be enabled to say that we have not had one trial too much, not one that could have been spared ; and the heart will become bur dened with the sense of an awful reality a perception of that wonderful fact that the events of lite are in themselves nothing; that they are hut the body destined to decay; yet that each, how ever trifling, bears within it the seed that it is to exist for eternity; and we feel that we can yield ourselves passive ly to any circumstances, whether happy or unhappy ; neither wearying ourselves with regrets for 'be post, nor burdening ourselves with cares for the future ; so only that the present moment might add its grain of faith and holiness to the treasure garnered in the hand of God against the great day of account. A New Library and Museum in Paris. —The Prefect of the Seine, M. Ilaussmanu, had long conceived the idea of forming a Municipal Museum of Fine Arts, and for this purpose he some lime ago bought two collections, those of M. Lcgras and M. Gailhabeaud. By a prefectoral decision just issued, this museum is now to be established forth with. It will consist of the pictures bought at various times by the munici pality, of the collections above-mention ed, and of the library of the city, which, thouqh se'dom talked of, is one of the most interesting of the capital. Amongst other things it contains a complete col lection of Anglo American State-papers and other historical documents. The library will, by the new arrangement, be more accessible to the public tban it is now. The Municipal Museum will com prise public reading-rooms, picture galleries, collection# of engravings, medals, and seals, all relating to the his'ory of Paris from its origin to the present day. Emmiokatiov. —lluring the past ten days, over one hundred negroes—men, women and children—have left this city for the West, in search of the “promised land,” where “poor nig” is free from labor. They are looking for that same “old goose,” and expect to find prov.s ions growing upon trees, and where there will he no more use for ‘do shovel and do hoe.” Ignorant, foolish crea tures I they arc only jumping out of the .eying pan into the fire, but don l know it. When too late, they will find out who their real and true friends are I Grijfin t, Ga.) Slur. The Fenian Prisoners in Ireland. —Col. Thomas D. Kelley and Capt. John Cafferty wailed on the President on Saturday last, And laid before him the cose of certain naturalized citisena still held as prisoners in Ireland by the Government of Great Britain, on sus picion of complicity in Fenian revolu tionary measures, together with the resolutions recently adopted at a meet ing in New York, making an appeal in their behalf, and asserting “ that the honor and dignity of the United Btates have been seriously compromised in onr foreign relations by those who have charge oi (hem, both at home and abroad,” and asking that Minister Adams, at Loudon, and Consuls West) at Dublin, aud Eastman, at Cork, be immediately recalled for having, as the resolutions assert, “acquiesced in tbe declared doctrine of England that subjects of that country could not throw off their allegiance to that despotic power by assuming the duties and status of United States citizens.” The President received the delegates with courtesy, but the interview was uot satisfactory to the delegation. Is a Broken Neck Curable? —A London letter in the Chicago Evening Journal has the following : The old any* ing that there is no cure for a broken neck, has just been practically disap proved by a surgeon at Greenock. He was called in to see a young girl who had just fallen a distance of eighteen feet, and thoroughly dislocated her neck. When he reached her, the face was nearly reversed, and looking over the back. lie promptly supported the back with the left knee, took a grasp of the head, and began to pull gradually and pretty strong, whereupon the girl’s eyes opened and there was an effort at breathing. Increasing the pressure, the parts suddenly came to their natural position, and after a minute or two reg ular breathing was established. Close attention was afterward paid to the case, and after much fever and occasional convulsions, the child recovered, and is now as well as ever. What Came of a Printer’s Error. A paper in Germany, called the Ostsce Zeitung, has been confiscated on and charge of printing a paragraph which was “of fensive to Count Bismarck in regard to his official position.” The paragraph occurred in a very innocent article which the Zeitung copied the Cologne Gazette. Unfortunately, the word “Trutz politik” (policy of alliance) in the original, was misprinted “Trug politik” (policy of fraud), and, although the mistake was obvious, tbe magistrates decided that the charge against the newspaper was proved. A Scene on the Prarieb. —A corres pondent crossing the Western plains sends the following leaf from his diary: “To-day we passed a lame or, ti -i, ri adrift to shift for itself, by t ,ne passing train. A floating bit of wo. mid ocean could hardly look inori loss ly lost. Not far from the poo beast 1 discovered a large white wolf -fright,' ened at our approach, sneaking off through the grass. The rascal will be back soon with a comrade or two, and then whe betide the poor ox. They’ll follow and harass him tor a time, to ascertain his speed and strength, and then gradually getting bolder with his heaviness, some will rush upon him in front, while others ham string him from behind, and then there is a tearing of flesh, a snapping of wolfish jaws, a licking of bloody lips.” South Carolina. The Herald's Washington correspondent, speaking of the return to that city of Lieut. Doch erty, says he was for several months Provost Judge for the Sumter, Claren don, and Kershaw Districts, S. C., in addition to discharging the duties of a post commandant, and is, therefore, familiar with the workings of the Freed tnetvs Bureau. He pronounces the con tract system a failure, and is decidedly of the opinion that the labor question would soon adjust itself to the advantage of all concerned if left to itself. The abolition of Provost or Military Courts, he considers, would also contribute to peace and harmony, and better subserve the ends of justice. Good Joke on the Poi.ioe. —A citizen of South Bend stepped into the Mayor’s office and stated that the night previous a fellow came stalking into his house stark-naked, and that he was unable to put him out, and that he was there yet. Three policemen at once started on the run to oust the intruder. When they got into the house they asked to see the fellow that had come in there the night before. The nurse brought out the baby, which the citizen’s wife had pre sented him with the night before. The policemen suddenly disappeared, and it is supposed have had to stauil a good many extra treats since.— Louisville ( Ky.) Courier, Oct. 4. Bank-Note Detector.— They have a photographic bank-note detector in New Ymk. It is the production of Staramore, and contains exact photo graphs of all the deubrninations of United States Treasury notes and a number of those issued by local Nation al Banks. The photographs are taken from proof impressions on file in the United States Treasury Department, and are remarkably clear specimens of photography. ; w'hoi.ksai.b Infanticide. —“Those crying nuisances,” said a sanitary re former, “at a timo like this ought to be abated.” “Then," observed a horrid single gentleman, “we shall have to lull all the babies.” * Rouen AND ItKADY.—A goodmatiyof * the roughs who rioted in Hyde Park at the Reform demonstration have heeu. sentenced to imprisonment. «!f demonstrandum by such a demoustra tion is, that the demonstrators may be: sent to quod. A Perfect Antidote for all Poi sons.—A plain farmer eaye: "It is now over twenty years since I learned that sweet oil would core the bite of a rattle snake, not knowing it would cure other kinds of poison. Practice, observation and experience have taught me that it would cure poison of any kind, both on man and beast. I think no farmer should be without a bottle of it iu his house. The patient must take a spoon fall of it internally, and bathe the wound for a cure. To cure a horse it requires eight times as much as it does for a man. Here let mo say of one of the most ex treme cases of snake bites in this neigh borhood : Eleven years ago this summer, where the case had been thirty days standing, and the patient had been given up by his physician, I heard oi it, car ried the oil, aud gave him one spoonful, which effected a care. It is an antidote for arsenic and strychnine. It will cure bloat in cattle by eating too freely of fresh clover; it will cure the sting ot bees, spiders, or other insects; and will cure persons who have been poisoned by a low running vine growing in the meadows, called ivy.” Golden Hair. —“A. S. P.,” in a let. ter to the Athenaeum, says:—ln reading Bishop Jeremy Taylor’s “Sermon on the Marriage Ring,” I met with this pas sage, which shows how fashions repeat themselves: “Menander, in the comedy, brings in a man turning his wife from his house because she stained her hair yellow, which was then the beauty. A wise woman should not paint.” My mother, an old lady of 70, tells me that an olid French lady, whom she knew in France, some 50 years ago, used to laugh and say, “.Just imagine that I used to be so foolish as to wear a light flaxen wig.” She was a decided bru nette; and she said that blondes wore dark wigs. This was in the days of the First Empire. Special Notices. #ST“ THE MEMBERS OF-THE AUGUSTA CONSISTORY, will meet THIS (Saturday) EVENING at half-past Seven o’clock, W. C.
