Mum. Editor*—If any Southern man ba«
failed to discover the superiority of his country
and hie people, let him spend a few months as
an observer in this city. S_ -X * v
I see from tho papers, that some Southern peo.
pie have tried Central America, some South
America, some Mexico, and I know that many
have triod Now York, and I imagine that all have
arrived with me at the conclusion that the South
ia the greatest country, and has the greatest peo
ple on the earth, and that, with all. the wrongs
and insults to which the South is at present com
pelled to submit, it is the best country in which
to live. . ....
There, heretofore, people have lived to enjoy,
and will do so again, when the North shall have
learned that she has her hands full in attending
to her own business,which she will be compelled
to learn at no distant day. In every other country
in which I have keen, it is a struggle for life. If
yon were to look upon the magnificent mansions,
the splendid cqnipagfes and tho gorgeous attire of
Fifth Avenne yon might conclude that their
owners enjoy life. When you hear of men
who count their weath by millions yon might
suppose that all that can constitute enjoyment
were their's ; bnt when the morning paper tells
yon that a firm of these merchant priqcea, as
they, in their arrogance, call themselves, which
has for a long time been considered one of the
wealthiest and strongest firms of the city, failed
yesterday and thnt their deficit, if correctly re
ported, is not very great, not more than two or
three millions of dollars, the feeling involuntari
ly comes over yon, “ what a straggle for life
these men must havo had.*’
When the same paper tells yon that last night
Mr. A’s house was entered by burglars and
robbed of plate and jewelry of the valuo of sev
eral thousand dollars, and that a store on Broad
way was robbed of a large amount of goods,
that in another, a safe was blown open and a
large amount of money and other valuables car
ried off, and that yesterday in broad daylight on
Wall street, a tin box containing half a million
of bonds was stolen from a broker, and that as
a messenger boy was going from n broker's of
fice to tho bank ho was knocked down and
robbed of a large amount of money and check,
and that about ten o'clock last night in a street
near Broadway a man was murdered for twenty
dollars, yon feel there must be amongst theso
people a hard "struggle for life.”
If you step into those bedlams tho Stock, Bond,
and Gold rooms you will see there millionaires
under tho names of "bulls” and “beam” appa
rently excited almost tophrenzy, in their efforts
to gore and to tear each other when ; yon read
in tho papers tho acconhts of (ho tricks and
frauds with which Vanderbilt, Drew, Fisk, and
that ilk are charged to have resorted in the
manipulation of stocks in their efforts to ruin
each other yon conclude “this is a hard struggle
for life.” r.l'ajJTl t. >
These are but a few of phases of tho struggle
amongst what thoy call the higher classes.
Tho Herald is the great medium through
which "wants” are communicated to the public.
Leaving ont the advertisements headed ‘ ‘Board
ers and Lodgers Wanted" and “Booms and
Apartments to Let,” and their name is legion—
for almost everybody wants to let rooms, withont
board or with it—the Herald rarely has loss than
three columns, often seven or eight, of adver
tisements, averaging throe lines, wanting places.
I send yon a few samples ont of hundreds in the
paper before me:
213 WEST 26TH ST.—A PERSON WITH GOOD
dty references os chambermaid and waitress, and
would assist with washing and ironing.
526 EAST 12TH ST.—A RESPECTABLE MAR-
ried woman os wet nurse.
227 EAST 29TH ST.—A RESPECTABLE GIRL
u plain cook, washer and ironer. Best city refer
ence.
Advertise for help of any kind, with directions
to call at a certain place end given hour, and you
arc beseiged by an army of applicants. To avoid
this pressure, applicants are generally directed
to address A. B. or C. D., Herald Office, or P.
O. Box 3000 or some other number. HeTe yon
see something of the “ struggle for life” among
what they call the lower orders.
If you would see it in its intensity, go into
the streets and see barefooted old women hook
ing out of tho barrels of ashes and garbage,
that have been set out on the pavements for the
scavengers to carry off, bits of coal and scraps
of broken food, which have been left in them
by accident, or tho carelessness of servants;
fishing ont of tho gutters stray bits of doth and
paper, and gathering from the lamp-poets and
curb stones the handbills and gutter snipes that
have been stuck upon them. Take a walk .up
or down Broadway and see the little barefooted,
thinly dad boys and girls in the slush and snow,
with stamps of brooms, sweeping out the mud
and slush at the crossings, with the hope that
some kind-hearted passer will give them a
penny; and the one-armed or one-legged sol
diers sitting at tho comers, grinding a hand-
organ, to excito the sympathy, charity or patri
otic n of the passers by, to the extravagant point
of dropping a penny into the box on top of the
organ.
What do yon suppose a Southern slave would
have thought of you, if for any service, howev
er small, or as a matter of compliment or favor,
you had offered him a copper cent? Of course
he never thought of getting any thing as a mat
ter of charity. The happy, well-cared-for slave
would have spumed your copper cent os a worth
less thing, and looked upon you as the meanest
sort cf “poor white trash.” But time will
come when ‘‘the brother and equal” will be ed
ucated and elevated np to the point of receiving
the “penny,” as humbly and as gratefully as
the “hero and patriot" who has lost his leg or
his arm in fighting “to save the life of the na
tion.” All that will prevent it is that neither
sympathy, charity nor patriotism, ever grow
down to that size in that climate. They are
bom larger, and die before they starve to that
size.
If you would witness the “struggle for life" in
Tsttll more fearful form, go into some of the
tenement houses of the city. It may be of ser
vice to your readers to see the accounts of tome
of them, (which I send,) published a few days
ago in the Herald.
sixth worm. A ? J.' |
Ting is the grand central point from which to study
the mysteries and miseries of tenement house living
in our dty. To undertake to describe the wretched
abodes of poverty here would be, however, an an-
oent undertaking. Everybody knows of the house
65 Mott street, eeren stories in height—the
largest And on* of the filthiest tenement bouses of
its dsss in the dty. Everybody knows of Donovan’s
lsne, running from Pearl to Baxter street, filled in
every nook snd cranny with Chinamen. Everybody
knows of Nos. 17,18,19 and 20 Baxter street, oceu-
pied by organ grinders and their grinning, chattering
asankeyn- Every body knows orthe cheap lodgings
Jlbos. 15 and 25 Baxter street, where lodgers lie
huddle indiscriminately on the fioorless ground.
Everybody knows of Nos. 88, 40,42 snd 44 Baxter
street, occupied by Italians in front snd by negroes
in the rear. Everybody knows of the past history
of the old Mnlbeny street Baptist church, and to
what base uses it has come at last os a tenement
abode. No filthier place can hardly be imagined,
and nowhere except here at the Five joints con be
found a more degraded dans of inmates. This vi
cinity abounds with these miserable abodes of the
most wretchedly miserable of oar city population.
BZVXHTZXHTH WALD.
Beginning with the Seventeenth Ward, we begin
with a good sized city of itself. Its towering tene
ment abodes are a sight to behold, and the compact
life within them a marvel and a mystery. A special
census of this ward was taken two years ago, with
the following result:
Number of front tenement houses 3,628
Number of rear tenement bouses 521
Fsmiliee occupying tenement houses 18,413
Persons occupying tenement houses 84,129
Cellar population 2.909
In the past two years this Ward has greatly in
creased in population. Taking the numl>er of votes
registered in this ward at tho last election asa proper
basis of estimate, the present number of inhabitants
may be set down at 125,000, with proportionate in
crease in the number of tenement abodes. The
ward, in fact, as we have already stated, is a dty of
itself, having within its boundaries no less than
fourteen churches. 302 lager beer saloons, snd 117
places where all kinds of liquors are indiscriminate
ly sold. There is uo ward in the dty where snch a
proportion of the population lives in tenement
bouses. Excepting the private dwellings in Second
avenue, and a few in Seventh, Eighth. Ninth. Tenth
and Fourteenth streets, between the First and Third
avenues, the entire inhabitants live in tenement
houses. Fourth street, on the south side, between
avenues A and B, bride houses, front and rear, of
four and five stories, known as “ Ragpickers’ Row,”
is the grand head centre of the ragpickers of the
dty. They are crowded together, a dozen or so in
small anti illy-ventilated rooms. Reeking in filth
and sottish stupidity, not one in ten knowing how to
read and write, they present a field for missionaiy
effort equalling any foreign fields of tho most be
nighted heathen. Usckarclville, as is well known,
ih 111 this ward. This precious locality, famed forits
rows and robberies and murderous assaults, extends
from First avenue to avenne B, between Eleventh
and Fourteenth streets. Hera the population is very
dense, and though not quite as filthy and compact as
“ Ragpickers’ Row,” it needs tho cleansing presence
of some modem, moral Hercules.
'What a God-Bend it would have been to Mrs.
Harriet Beecher Stowe, if she conld have found
any semblance of anthority for drawing Buch a pic
ture of the horrors of slavery; of tho sufferings, the
privations and degradation of Southern slaves!
Even without this revolting picture, the gttod,
kind-hearted Christiana of the North, heading
•• Uncle Tom's Cabin," wept until UjpyflUi.stered
the pages with their tears; snd,when it was dra
matized and exhibited on the stage, they cried
and sobbed as if their hearts would break over
the sufferings of tho poor, far-off slave ; and
then they dried np their tears in hot, fierce in
dignation against those who had so wronged him.
Bnt they read these accounts of wrong and suf
fering and degradation of whites at their doors
without an emotion of interest, a sigh of pity, or
an effort to reliovo. Not one in a hundred even
of the women, gives a penny to the poor, little,
bare-footed boy or girl, who sweeps tho mud
out of his path, or drops a penny in the box of
tho one-armed or ono-Wgged “hero and patriot”
organ grinder. I think it would be nearer the
troth to say not one in a thousand.
Tell your young men and young women, as
thoy would enjoy life and live comfortably, hap
pily and independently, to select honest, sober,
industrious and economical helpmates, and go
to making com, cotton and potatoes and to
raising pigs, chiokens and children. Thus they
may, at the Sonth, make life an easy labor and
a pleasant employment full of happiness, in spits
of the wrongs and insults to which, as a people,
they may for a short season be compelled to sub
mit from tho North.
Tell your people generally not to forget their
sufferings in 1865 and 1867 from the extrava
gancies into which they permitted themselves to
run because they had received a high price for
tho cotton which they had on hand .at the close
of the war and the expectation of the continua
tion of prices equally high for succeeding crops.
Now is the time to economise and to save, when
they have something to save. Now is the time
to sell their cotton, when they are sure of good
prices. As I said in my last, tho present prico
is a speculation; it may go higher; bnt when
the bubble bursts, as it sorely will, it will be dif
ficult to sell at any pri*. for it will produce a
panic; and, no matter to what price it goes, he
who holds cotton when the bubble bursts will
not get as ranch for it as he can now.
Again I say, pnt your paper into gold, that is
if yon havo any surplus. Gold may be lower
than it is now, bnt it is certain to be permanent
ly higher. In anything like a healthy state of
things, it ought to be two per cent. lower than
it is, and ought to continue to decline, bnt in
stead, it is going up. The high price of cotton
in Liverpool and the Quantity that has been
shipped there, ought to have furnished all the
exchange that is needed in foreign countries at
9J per cent, pjemium, which is about par, but
it is one per cent, above that, and nearly a mil
lion of gold was shipped last week. When the
cotton speculation bubblo bursts, the credit
system bubble goes with it, and paper goes
down; gold won’t. A paper dollar may be
worth a hundred cents, or it may be worth two,
or less, as the people of the Sonth have power
—a gold dollar is always worth a hundred cents,
more or less. Obsxktxh.
The non-commissioned officers of a Prussian
battery announce in a Berlin paper the death of
a comrade in war—a goat called “Herr Schnei
der.” He had been in the corps since 1864. He
always marched with the men of the first gun,
from whom he received his rations. He attend
ed parade, took his place among the non-com
missioned officers, and appeared to listen atten
tively to orders. When the war broke out in
I860, he marched at the head of the battery,
and was promoted to the rank of sergeant bv
the privates, who presented him with a beauti
ful collar, on which were embroidered the marks
of his rank. When actual hostilities commenced,
he yaa tied to an ammunition wagon in the rear,
but during the battle of Koniginhoff Herr
Schfieider managed to slip away, and went to the
-front at full gallop. Subsequently he returned
to his ammunition wagon, none the worse for
his charge. The goat marched at the head of
his battery on the triumphant entry of the army
into Berlin, in September, 1866.
End or the Indian Was.—St. Louie, January
27 —General Sheridan is daily expected to re
turn from the plains. Nearly all the Indians
will go on their reservation set apart for them.
The main body of troops will soon be withdrawn
from the plains, and will concentrate at Fort
Leavenworth, for distribution to other points.
The recently-elected lieutenant Governor of
Illinois reports his office stripped of stationery,
stamps, etc. His predecessor is the guilty par
ty. The culprit excuses himself on the ground
that his predecessor played the same game.

From the Constitution.]
Irwin H. Woodward, plaintiff in error, vs. Sam
uel M. Gates et aL, defendants in error, from
Merri wether. *
Brown, C. J.—1. In Enaction for waste, a wit
ness shall state facts, and while he may give his
opinion, accompanied by the facts upon which
it is predicated, as to the number of acres from
which the timber has been cut, the value of the
land before and after it was cut, the whole num
ber of acres in the tract, the proportion of tim
bered land, and the like ; it is error in the oourt
to permit him to give in evidence his opinion
that the estate of the remainderman has been
damaged to a certain amount by the acts of the
defendant It is the province of the jury to draw
from the facts stated their own conclusion as to
the amount of damage, if any, sustained by the
plaintiff.
2. If the complainant in a bill in equity in
tends to waive the answer of the defendant- un
der oath, he must so state distinctly. The state
ment that he is able to prove the allegations in
his bill, withont the answer of tho defendant, is
not a compliance with the Code.’ '
3. If complainant waives an answenr nder
oath, the answer filed is not evidence. It may
be used, however, as an admission of record,
snd complainant is not bound to prove any fact
admitted. But when so used, the admission
most be taken together with any qualification or
explanations accompanying it.
4. The Statute of Gloucester was not in force
in Georgia, prior to the adoption of the Code,
and it was error in the Court to instruct the jury
that they might find a forfeiture of the life-es
tate upon evidence of acts, most, if not all of
which, were done prior to that date. The evi
dence upon which the forfeiture was claimed
should have been confined to acts of waste, since
1st January, 1863.
5. The stringent roles of the English law rela
tive to waste, were applicable to our condition,
and were not embraced in our adopting statute.
It is not always waste in this State, for a tenant-
for-life to cut growing timber, or clear lands.
Regard must be had to the condition of the
premises; and the proper question for the jury
to decide under the instructions of the Court will
be, did good husbandry require the felling of the
trees, and wore the acts such as a judicious, pru
dent owner of the inheritance would have com
mitted.
Judgment reversed.
Samuel P. Campbell, plaintiff in error, vs.
Cynthia Miller, defendant in error. From
Henij.
Brown, C. J.—1. The marriage settlement in
this case was a contract between the parties in
tending marriage, and the trustee, which vested
a life estate in the $2,000 of notes, in Mia. Mil
ler, both remainder in her children, who are
named, after her death.
2. A trustee in possession of the trust prop
erty, is only bound to ordinary diligence in its
preservation and protection.
3. If tho trust property consists of promissory
notAj the trustee may receive payment of the
notes when due, in such currency as a prudent
man would receive for debts due him under
similar circumstances.
4. A trustee who, in good faith, received Con
federate treasury notes in payment of a note
held intrust, under the act of 18th of April, 1863,
acted under color of law, and is protected by
the act of 1866, and the Ordinances of the con
ventions of 1865 and 1868, and if he invested
said treasury notes without proper authority, or
lost them by negligence he will only be liable
for their Talue when received allowing him a
reasonable time to ro-invest.
5. A trustee who held a promissory note in
trust prior to the adoption of tho Code 1st of
January, 1863, if he acted in good faith had a
right to roceivo payment in the currency gener
ally received by prudent men in the transaction
of their own business, and to re-invest such cur
rency in tho note of a person who was then en
tirely solvent, and if by the results of the war
the maker proved insolvent the trustee is not
liable for the loss.
6. A trustee who received payment of a note
held in trust in tho then currency, before the
adoption of the Code, and after its adoption,
invested it, other than in the stocks, bonds, or
other securities issued by this State, or other
securities authorized by law, and without an
order of the court, did so at his own risk, and is
liable for the valuo of the currency received by
him, to be estimated at the time it should have
been re invested, allowing him a reasonable
time after its receipt to obtain the order and re
invest the funds.
7. If the trustee changes the investment with
the consent of the reetue que trust who is of le
gal ago, he is not liable for any loss growing out
of snch new investment
8. The Court erred in refusing to allow the
trustee to prove that any investment made by
by him, or any change of the investment prior
to first of January, lt-03 was a prodent invest
ment
9. Counsel having asked the Court to give his
charge to the jury in writting, it was his duty
to do so, and he should have read it to the jury
as written, without any additional verbel expla
nations.
10. If counsel in writing request the court to
give i-artaid charges to the jury, such written're-
quest must be' upon a point applicable to the
facts in the case, and mnst not assume that to
have been proven which is not in proof, and
must, as written out by counsel, be correct law
or the court is not bound to notice it. If, how
ever, the court thinks proper to give the point
in charge with modifications he may do so, and
such modification need not be in writing, but
the whole taken together as given by the court,
must be correct
Judgment reversed.
Curran Battle, plaintiff in error, vs. Lucien Bat
tle, defendant in error—From 'Warren.
Brown, O. J.—There is nothing in any law of
thi» State, or in any order of the military com
mander, while the State was ttr.der military gov
ernment, which authorizes the Court to pay
money raised at Sheriff’s sale on the first Tues
day in January, 1868, to the defendant in fi. fas.
while there are judgment creditors claiming it.
Judgment affirmed.
Woman's Eights.—The Evening Express, of
’Washington, says:
Dr. (Mias) Mary Walker this morning made
written application in due form to Speaker Col
fax to be* assigned a seat in the Reporters' Gal
lery as representative of the Oswego Times. The
Speaker declined to grant the application on the
ground that all the seats were assigned The
fair Doctor then requested a cord of admission
to the reporters' quarters, bat this request was
also refused withont reason assigned
Dr. [Miss] Mary awaited an answer to her re
quest in the reporters’ room, where she was po
litely entertained by the members of the press.
The hard-hearted doorkeeper resistedherappeals
or admission to the reporters’ benches. When
the refusal of her application arrived she freely
expressed her indignation despite the sympa
thetic exertions of some of the tender-hearted
correspondents to soothe her outraged feelings.
Warn Faem Labobxbs.—The Augusta Daily
Press says: The scarcity of negro farm hands
in this section has induced several farmers to
employ white labor. A number of white men
of this city, who, for months post, have been
unable to procure regular and remunerative em
ployment, have been engaged as farm hands
by parties from Burke county. The price offered
and accepted, as we learn, has been $10 per
month, or one-third of the crop, where several
have thrown their labor together.
The Nr» Atlantic Cable.—The Great Eastern
is now receiving on board at Brest the new cable
which is to be laid between France and America.
The great ship will leave Brest in June on her
journey,paying ont the coble in command of Sir
James Anderson. A great deal of ill-will is felt
towards this enterprise on this side the water for
no other reason than that Erianger, John SideU’s
son-in-law, is one of its high contracting parties.
One, John Savage, a red-hot Fenian, has
been nominated as United States Consul at
Cork. An MmpKsh paper suggests Judah P.
Benjamin as British Minister to the United
States.

PLANT FERTILIZER.
Frice Reduced from 905 to 950 per
Ton, on 9000 lb*., Cash.
A T THE solicitations of many friends, I have RE
DUCED the price of my “Plant Fertiliser” for
this season only, to ISO per ton. for the purpose of in
troducing it to the Planters or Georgia snd Florida,
and moot earnestly desire to have it practically tested
alongside of other well known Phosphates and Fertil
isers. I feel assured that a fair, impartial trial will
conYince the m^t skeptical of its superior fertilning
qualities in the first, as well as securing crops, both as
to activity and durability.

Gkxtlusixx : In reply to your Inquiry, I take pleas
ure in soylnr my experience with the CHESAPEAKE
PHOSPIIATE. I bought of you last sprint, ha* been
very favorable. I nsed (200) two hundred pounds
upon (K> three-fourth- of an aere. third year’s new
ground, applying It tn the drill, row£three feet apart,
sixteen inebes in the drill, on which I had five thou
sand seven hundred stalks of cotton. From this. I
gathered (1821) eighteen hundred and twenty-tour
pounds of cotton. The lost of Aagust, the worm com
mitted rreat revere, In It, destroying all of the late
crop. Had it not been for the worm I should hive
made *t least one-third more on the land. lean cheer
fully recommend it to Planter, as a Fertiliser for cot
ton. Respectfully.

Mr. Geo. Jhtgdale, Baltimore, Md.:.
Data Sir—I made an experiment upon Cotton tho
post season with Baugh’s Raw-Bone Phosphate. I
nsed it at the rate of only One Hundred Pounds Per
Acre, applying it in the row with the seed, and the
yield of cotton from land towbieh the Phosphate was
applied, was One Hundred Per Cent, greater than
from land on which no fertiliser was used: tho differ
ence being so great that I could tee to the rery row
where I stopped dropping thePhosphste.
I eon. with confidence, recommend Bangh’g Raw-
Bone Phosphate as being a reliable and satisfactory
article.
