A man most stand npon the solid rock of jus
tice, truth, and fair and generous dealing before
he can indulge one rational hope of prosperity.
When he stands there he feels like a man—be
knows he is right—he is doing justice, and ex
pects and demands justice in return. His la
borers know the same and their own inward
consciousness of jnstice and right are the voice
less advocates of the employer.
But let them detect him in the smallest dis
position to take advantage of them and they
will return it with interest, and with a compara
tively clear conscience. It becomes mere re
taliation. It takes the shape of equity.
When a planter, by sharp dealing or by indue
ing bis bands to do what his good sense tells
him is not for their real interest, succeeds in re
ducing very materially, at small cost, the bal
ance of wages against himself at Christmas, he
should not be so simple as to persuade himself
he has really made that much money. Iu all
probability he has lost, in various ways, ten
times the amount of his apparent savings.
And he has made a bad loss for himself if,
with all, he has lost the confidence of his labor-
That will lose him their labor, and a bad
reputation among the negroes is going to be an
increasingly heavy loss to the planter. It will
cost him all first class hands, provided he can

lay private man awakened such attention and

made himself more illustrious than kings and

There was a yoong lady on board of the Steoe-
wali, about seventeen years of age, with whom
Anna was well acqnainted, and they kept to
gether. On Wednesday evening, after supper,
Anna invited her companion to go down with <
her ob the main deck and sleep with her, as she
had a eomfortable berth. The women, being
tired, divested themselves of their outer cloth,
ing and went to bed. On the deck there were
several Italians who were drunk ana noisy, one
of whom had a candle in his hand, and careless
ly placed it on a bale of hay, setting it on Sre.
The alarm was immediately given, and in a
second the boat was a sheet of flame. Anna
jumped up in her night-clothes to save herself.
All was coDfnsion. She stood on the guards of
the boat as long as it was safe, during which she
felt perfectly calm and self- possessed. _ A gentle,
mancame upand proposed thatifshe would jump

self; I think I can save myself.” He jumped
off, and she saw him drown. She stayed on the
guards until sh** was. forced to jump into the
river or bnra to death, as the boat in that quar

This being the case, let ns next talk a little
upon the point of equity in respect to wages.
The laborer should share in the prosperity of
his employer, and he is but a mean sonl who be
grudges a reasonable division of the common
earnings. It i3 the l 'liheral eouC’—not the
stingy, pennrious and griping sonl—that God
Almighty says shall be made fat.
There was a singular mle which controlled
prices almost invariably daring slavery times,
familiar to all our readers. An able-bodied ne
gro in his prime was worth just as many hun
dred dollars as cotton was worth cents. Towards
the last the slave valuation was a little in excess
of this rale, bat generally the rule held. Then
the hire of negroes, although fluctuating under
local causes, was about ten per cent- on this
valuation, including the usual stipulations of
food and clothing. Now, if we apply this rnle
at the present time, wt> shall see that the exist
ing rate of wages is not high. A good hand would
now be worth $2300, land his biro for a year
would be $230 including rations and clothing,
which would be, under existing circnrastanees,
8ayanott$12 00pormontb. Thus we see that
wages are now perhaps a little under par, meas
ured by the price of cotton and the old rnle, and
there is a reasonable margin for a rise npon this
basis.
The great point is to content the hand*. A
dissatisfied force is a worthless and unprofitable
force if yon can get it for $5 a month. Let our
planters aim, first of all, at relations of entire
confidence and friendliness with their bands.
Let every one of these negroes feel that he has
a “Boss” who not only would not cheat him, if
he could, bnt one who takes a warm and friendly
interest in his welfare, and is solicitous for his
comfort and prosperity.

Some of tho ideas proposed at the recent Wo

right to dispose in any way she may please of a
share of her husband's income. According to
that plan, an extravagant woman might mort
gage her husband’s earnings before he received
them, and he would have no power to help him

properly belonged to husband and. children

On the contrary, we observe the following in
the Louisville Courier-Journal's special of the
same date:
There is some anxiety felt for the decision in
the Yerger case before Congress meets, as Rad
ical Congressmen here threaten that if there is
snch a delay Congress will pass a bill covering
the defects of the act passed in the McCardle
case, to destroy tbe appellate jurisdiction of
the Supreme Court, so thut it will reach the case
and prevent a decision turning Yerger over to
the civil courts or unconditionally discharging
him. An effort will be made to have the peti
tion for habeas corpus argued on Friday.
