But they will never quite realize the full force of the facts until the census of 1890 i takeu. It "dl then be found that in no previous decade has thee been any such progress as betwe n 1880 ami 1890. The three sections Os the country which will show t e most remarkable developm-nts ate the South, lhe West, ami the I’aC - tic co is'. As to the Southern States the change there is not so much in the additions to the popul.iion as in its material development; in other words the enhancement of its wedth, present and and prospec tiv . In olden bines, cotton raisit g was the main ?o nee ot income. li now represents only one-third <-t the money-producing industries ol that section. The beneficent change has been brougt about by mmill > tuning enterpr. • and the cons- - queut diversification ot employ ments. Instead ot employii g them selves ‘in raising cottou alone, and I getting their tools, clothing and even their food from the North, they now manufacture for them selves and laise their own jjorn and pork. It is the products of coal and i iron which have enriched modern nations, and it is the working of | these two minerals which is chang ing the whole face of Southern so viet'. What may I e termed the I middle zone of the South, extend ■ ing from Norfolk due west to North I ern Mississippi, with a width of ! say four hundred miles, will be found a region in which is some of the driest coal and iron in the world. The mines are being worked for all they are worth, and hence there is a prodigious development io South eru industries. —From Demorest’s for February. A VILLI A NOUS ARTICLE. The “Evening Call” an afternoon paper published in this c ty as the organ of the Knights of Labor, in its i.-.-ue ol Tuesday the Ist install*, has the following villianous editori al h ad<d; “Justice ai last.” “The new management of the Central railroad are doing nobly. They have gone back on the old board for injustice it did to the white men it had in its employ n 1 reins ated the latter. In its schem ii g f<>r economy the old board di I an act f t white men for which the remainder of their lives they ought to hang the,ir heads and be asham ed io look any decent, lespectab e white man in (be face, ’l he Whiles employed on the road, lor no cause, were supposed to b“ insubordinate ■nd hud to manage, and by th'* degree ot iliisaugu.-t body they had Io yield thei" places to colored laborers. We do not object to col ored men having employment, lot they have io live, bill what we do strenuously object to is the manner .ii which ihey were employed, and we know I >ts ol colored men in this city who, Ilhl they been made ac quainted wi ll the object ot lender ng employment to them would have .-coined the oiler.

We rejoice now th.it i was beaten and we hope lhe m w board, iu appre ciation of its own rm e and color, will long pie ide over the Central, while then predv.ces.-ors will revel in the infamy they richly deserve.” We rep oduce the foregoing in oider trit,’’out readers ma hilly UllJei'Si and the aminu- ol tout so called friend of lal'or, and bcCiUSe we mid- r-tand that c >lored men own s o-k in the ’‘Call” and contri bu e in no sma 1 degree to its sup port. It has also been stated that i iie win e Knights of Labor n I the Firemen’s Brotherhood were much exercised at the enijilovment of colored men by the C ■ t al rail road.

Senator Morrill from the Finance Committee reported a bill to ti e Senate of the United States, on Tuesday last, as a substitute for the one already offered for relief of the Freedman’s Bank depositors. The bill provides for the payment of the verified balances due them, and appropriates $1,000,000 from the U. S. Treasury for that purpese The Commissioner is directed not to pay any part of the money to any assignee ot any depositor, and all claims must be presented within two years. The bill will no doubt become a law before Congress ad journs and if so, the commissioner will probably be ready to make payments shortly after. Fha amount to be paid depositors, 38 per cent, being the balance due, is considerable and it would be well for people to be careful to whom they intrust their books for collec tions. HARBOR~AFFROFRIA TIONS. That Savannah has been badly retted by the House of Represen tatives at Washington is very plain io everybody. That body would appropriate only $45,000 for the improvement of our harbor, while a quarter of a million was appropri ated for Chai leston. If the parsi monious House would make such an appropriation that the engineers in charge of our river and harbor could carry on the work of im provement to completion, it would be true economy and help commerce and business of the city, besides giving employment to hundreds o; men out of employment. Yet with hundreds of millions of dollars tielonging to the people locked up in the Treasury vaults, a sum only sufficient to inaugurate the work in our harbor is deemed sufficient. A meeting of Savannah’s prominent business men was held recently and a delegation was appointed to go to Washington in the interest ol our city, and show the House Com mittee the necesity of giving the city such consideration in the appropriation bill as its importance deserved. The House acted on the bill before the delegation acted. The matter is now before the Senate and the delegation is on the ground. The Senate is more liberal in appropriating money for internal improvements, and the b m fit of the masses of the people lhali 'he llou-o, and it is to be hoped that the delegation will succeed in presenting the matter in such a iitb' tint the Senate will see that hi increased appropriation will b •nefit commerce and the people a large as well as be lhe means ol bringing increased revenues to the government by h .ving safe harbors into which vessels may enter.
