TIt< country hns apoken decisively by the ballot. The protracted ex citement and intense anxiety incident to the election of 187(5 will not be repeated. We all can and do rejoice at this result. -liosiness is quietly re sumed. The republican can eat his thanksgiving turkey rejoicing that Garhehl is elected and the countrv bir quiet. "TfuT detfSlffW MWn <*&■ joioe that we have present quiet, and the pledge of the republican pa: ty that peace, plenty and prosperity shall not be disturbed the next four years by any reactionary political legislation for party put pores. The time seems auspicious to con sider the future o! the uegr-j in this country—especially in the South. Just now ihe Northern mind will fie occupied with the want-of the South, as you are phased to tei m this negro question in a recent editorial written on the eve of the late election. Will you consider what I say before form, ing and acting upon your opinion as to the pressing needs ot the South ? 1 hope so, for our common good— more especially the gnni of the negro. I think all will admit the voice of the country as tillered in the late election lias no uncertain sound in one particular— ‘leave well enough alone.’ Whatever other sounds are blended with it, this deep undertone is un* mistakable. Peace at home and abroad, prosperity present and pros pective, prompted this utterance. And it was the pledge ot the republi can party not to disturb the causes which led to this prosperity whicli secured it power for the next four years. Other causes doubtless ope rated U|>oii the public imud, but ull w ill admit that this was the decisive cause which induceU 51 r. Garfield’s election—especially in New York. The business interests of the whole country demanded quiet. The repub lican parly pledged itseli to a sound financial policy, to domestic tranquil lity, and to abstinence from all dis- luibing political legislation for party ends. In the light of its past history the republican party has assumed no more grave lesjionsibilitv to the country than that involved in its policy for the next four years touching the future of the negro iu the Soul h. From a Southern standpoint the voice o* the country on litis question is nura stai-a- ble. The business interests of the whole country demand quiet through out the land. Four jears of quiet under the administration of President Hayes was the result ot rest from pnrli-an political legislation—legisla tion especially directed toward the South. This four years’ rest front political mtermeil.iling between the white and black man of the South, together w.tlt continuous abundant harvests throughout the land, has brought the whole country to the high road of reluming prosperity. Disturb the industrial interests of the South by a repetition of the political legislation incident to the late recon struction days, or kindred legislation lor similar euds, and you will check the returning prosperity ot that sec tion. The stmek will inevitably react upon the^East and West. And there cannot be conceived a mere potent cause—single cause—to bring about a repetition ot the ruicous financial panic of 1873. The country ha- condoned the bhin dors of the repu'-li.-ati party—among them -he politic I legislation touching the negro incitlei-l to the passions, un certainty and p, rplexity of the day of emerging from war. The renew, cd lease of power to that parly ha: been secured hy small majorities in many of the Northern States—ma jorities which may ea-ily be made minorities hy any unwise use of (tower. Tlsese close S'ates of th North wi.l hold the republican party to a strict and faithful compliance with its pledge to the country not to disturb the peace aud growing good will between the sections of the un ion, so ncedtnl to the harmony aud prosperity of the wltole country. Thus understanding the late elec tion, I see no special cause for alarm to the South. If it portends evil nt all it is to the whole Union, and tile South in common only with other sec lions ot the country. I accept the result, therefore, with the firm con- vic'ion that Mr. Garfield’s adniiuis- traviou will be memorable in the an nals of our country for a wise change que-tion to be decided by simple con sideration ot either the pas-ing busi ness interests of the country or the temporary power of any political panv.

Mark my words—upon the South. For upon the South pri manly rests the responsibility of solv ing the pioblem imposed by the changed condition of 4,000,OtiO ne groes—a problem involving every ins teresl of the South, social, industrial, moral aud political ; a problem not of theory or speculation, but a vital fact. The solemn fact which the South lias to face and handle is 4,000,000 slaves freed in her midst iu a moment— 4,000,000 frccdtneu in one mad mom ent made citizens and voters—only one condition unchanged—ignorant, wofully ignorant and depraved.

This is a golden opportunity to that party to atone for pa>t hfuntlera which the country has condoned. President Hayes con tracted a Democratic Senate and House. However well inclined he may have been, his position subjects him to the critiobm that other policy was not open to him. Mr. Garfield will, however, begin his administra tion with the House certainly rtpubli can, and possibly the Seuale. lienee the golden opportunity to d< mon strate the sincerity of Mr. Hayes, and that the pacific policy of his ad- miuisiralion represented the sprit ot the republican party. I believe Mr. Haj es was sincere, and I trust he. tes presented the contrelliag sentiment of his party. And until the contrary is proven by its future conduct toward the South, I cannot believe that the republican party will, by an abuse of the power now given, prove suicidal to its own future, ireacherotis to its sponsible for the negro’s low condi lion mentally and morally. The only practical question is upon whom rests the obligation to liberate him speedi ly from the thraldom of ignorance, aud to elevate his moral character. A correct appiehensiuu of this obliga tion is alike vital to the negro and the people ol this whole country. I mains tain that this duty devolves upon the white man of the -south ; that he mar be trusted to discharge the duly ;aud that all other aid to the negro must be through that channel. 1 heir common domicile, interests and destiny impose this duty upon the Southern white. The interests—industrial, social, mor al and political—ot the white impel him to give to the negro citizen in his midst every opportunity for the full development ot his mauhood. High- er, however, than mere interest is the Chiistaiii obligation of man to his neighbor. The white man of the South is the negro’s nearest neighbor, and i his fact imposes primarily upon the Southern white the Christian ob ligation to aid the negro in his strag gle tor moral and intellectual devel opment. Conscience amt inleiesl unite in constraining the white man o' the South to the discharge of this duly. The future of the negro in volves the future of the white. Un der God’s providence, their interests are inseparably linked together. Any injustiee to the negro wi!l inevitably react upoo tbe while. Iu industrial pursuits the interests of the white compel, if his conscience did not. slriet justice to and tair dealing with tbe negro. Their mutual depen dence imposes fidelity upon each. Iu polit-cs, the debauched negro voter will debauch the white. Tbe negro’s ouly protection against tl is result is in mental and moral training. Tite sal vation ot the white is iu the elevation ot the negro diameter. The negro cannot go down alone. He must drag the white down to his owd level. The protection ot the negro and the white alike from political degradation, is to he found alone in the full development intel.ect unity and morally o the ne gro. And the s|teedier the elevation of negro character, the better for the Southern white ; any conduct of the Southern white toward the negro re pressive iu its effect, will inevitably react detrimentally to his-tiwn inter est and character. Bear with me here, for at this point the vital errors of the past were made by the North. The hatred of tbe white man of the South to the uegro citizen was assumed—an inevitable conflict ot races was assumed—and, logically, legislation was enacted bring ing to bear the strong arm of govs Another great want ot the South is that the North leant lo believe, and act upon the belief, that God reigns dirertly over the South as well as tbe North. The North mus' Ire convinced that the South is not devoid ot intel ligent conscience and is not abandoned by God. This want, which is the greatest need of the South, I will dis cuss in*my last communication on this suhj-ct. Athens, Ga., Nov. Gtb, 1880. I have purposely discuss d this question front a non-political stand point. It is too gra.ve a matter to rest upon mere business interests or politi cal advantage. The true view of it is seen only from the standpoint of Christian charity—the dutv ot man to man under God’s law, binding upon all mankind. It 1 am correct in my conclusions, any aid proffered the uegro of the South other than.thrcugh the chan nel ot the good will and co-’*.]>eralion of the Southern white will be unwise and detrimental. Ami any political legislation for party ends which again antagonizes white and black will be an unpardonable crime. It may not be out of place to say. iu conclusion, that there is one great want ot this wli ole Union—all sec tions. It is this: we shotild in all things consider the good of the whole Union. Each citizen owes a more direct duly to his immediate section. “ Do the duty which lies nearest to you ^ is a wise maxim.

It is said l.e I propo-e lo di-cuss in this com- raunicaiion what I slated in my la-t to be the greatest want of ihe South in solving the problem (t the future of the negro That want is that the North be convinced that God reigns directly over the South. The North ern mind must be disabused of the impression that God is the Provi dence of the North, ami the North, tinner God, the Providence of the South. It is strange that the North cannot sec God iu all this uegro ques tion. The South recognizes God’s presence in all this trouble. God’s ways are not our ways—and the South does not understand all his provb deuces in the negro’s presence here, but tire faith ot the Smith accepts all as of God. common welfare of all.

This was wh.it Mr. Beecher termed the incisive policy—a policy which his heart and head alike condemned, but when once inaugur ated he acquiesced iu, and even fos tered, in the vaiu hope that peace would ultimately be the result of what bis reason and insliucts fore warned him must prove unending strife. The only peace ot that' p liey was death. Wimt was the actual re sult ? Distrust, alienation, antagon ism, where trust, union, co-operation was essential. The political revolu tion of 1874 gave a check to the in- chive policy. What is the result ? The South, in common with the North, is enjoying returning pros perity. Tbe two races are making strides toward cheerful co-operation in accepting the situation, and work ing together for their common weal —industrial, educational, moral and political. Let the North leara then from facts, that any aid, by political every Union. We have had a period of passion, followed by a spasm ot gush.

Any other course must retard and not hasten tbe negro’s The South firmly helicvue that God overruled the coming of the negro from Africa to America, his slavery here; his drifting to a genial South ern clime; the political agitation about slavery; the war; the desolation of recoiistruetiou more wasting than war; the slave suddenly freed' and then enfranchised. Iu all this the South bows submissively to the \rili ol an overruling God. The Christian faith of the South explains her re signation, her patient endurance, her cheerful adaptation lo changed con ditions, her hopeful spirit, her activity amid desolation. The South through exercise of this tailh, has even liorne meekly the charge against her hy the) North that all this patient resignation, hopeful spirit and active iudustry only' evidence the perverse cunning ol willful hailarism. Candor compete the confession that at times this last infliction of Providence is very irk some. Yet through faith we live in the hope that even this continuous chastening, though for the time it 8eemeth grievous, will eventually yield the peaceable fruits of righteous.. ness. No one can deny tha: we I a'veT beeu sorely exercised thereby. If the North will recognize that God reigns over the South; that the South has a conscience guided by a Christian faith; that the primary duty to the negro devolves upon the conscience of the South; that inteie-t unites with conscience ; that the duty ot the North to the South is (o leave the while and black man to work out together, under God, their common destiuy; that any aid from the North whicli may be needful must lie prof fered through the white man of the South—through the institutions of the South born of the conscience and interests ot the white—then the future wellare ot the negro in the South is assured. The white and black citizen ot the South will remain friends for ever. They were never alienated other than by unwise aid to the negro, tendered by the North direct ly to the negro upon the talse as sumption that enmity of the white to the black citizen existed. Do you still doubt the wisdom of trusting the negro’s future to the con science and interest of the South? God has so trusted the negro’s future.

(From thafibicagoJXiines) .There isagre.nt deal of practical; good sense in ttfo'vh*ws«f the Gc&rgifT liberal, Mr. Emory Speer, upon the tariff question, and its relations to the evolution of political ideas on other public questions. Mr. Speer, it ought to be generally known, is ono of the most advanced political-thinkens in Georgia—a state whioh exhibits more evidences of a new industrial development, and ac cordingly more pronounced symptoms of an intellectual advancement out ot the dismal slough ot Bnurbonism, than any other state called southern,. Himself a young man (only . thirty- three), he represents the best devel- opm*Ut of - the young, ideas that are destined in good time to replace tho old, notions of tbe men who, .thoiigh living in the present, represent the mental and political character of a past generation. - Politically, he stands conspicuous among that tidw father potential class of southern! men whp accept with some commendable pride the liouorable distinction of pioneers in the movement of a ‘ new south.' It-is' a movement, as Mr.. Speer ex presses^ agnjust the- Bourbon, ele ment in politics. ’ Ollier Confepiiiuous leaders of this movement are the new senator from Georgia, Mr. Brown; and the new senator from Virginia, Mr. Mahone. Mr. Alexander II. Stephens is also generally spoken of us being in accord with the move ment ; though, at his advauced age, he finds it more difficult to divest his mind of its ancient bins than is the ease with younger men. Economists tell us that, within.tho next tw.cnty years, America will need fifteen millions of new spindles, with accompanying machinery, for tho transformation of the chief product of southern agriculture into other com modities of commerce. Where should these new spindles be set in 'opera tion? The answer of economy is: Where the transformation of the raw material can be effected, aud the new commodities be placed on the best markets, at the lea-t cost. Obvious ly then, the cotton-field, the cotton- mill, and the railway centre should he brought together. The cotton- field can not be moved troin the south ern latitude. Nature has given to the southern one-third of America, east of the coutiental backbone,- vir tually a monopoly of this product for tho world; for, though tho climate and soil ot India and portions of Mexico and South America are adapt ed to the cultivation of cotton, ex periment has shown that a new"civili zation must appear j n those countries before its cultivation can be success fully introduced.' For an indefinite period of the future,' tho southern portion of America will continue to be the chief cotton-producing region. Why may it not also be the chief cot ton-manufacturing region .ou this coil- tinenp? Why should not the lact that nature has given to that region a monopoly of the cotton-growing in dustry cause to spring up there the most extensive manufacturing indus try of this land ? It is needless to specify the many obstacles that have long stood, and some of which still stand, in the way of this. To show the changed or changing conditions in this respect, it is only requisite to mention that nearly- all of thcee obstacles had their . basis in slavery. An industrial sys tem, long deemed necessary to the successtui cultivation of cotton, was an insuperable obstacle to the suc cessful establishment, in the same region, of cotton manufactures. At no time, in no part of -the world, has skilled industry of any kind gained a fooling iu a society resting on slavery, or on the customs polity of antiquity. Nut only does unskilled slave ' labor drive out skilled free labor in confor mity to the same economic law which causes bad money to supersede good inon“y, but the distinctive character which slavery gives to the society in which it exists is an ever-active force repelling and preventing all free in dustrial development. i To-day leading men of Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas are Georgians, and in every county and neighbor hood. almost, in those states, the con trolling spirit is a Georgian. The gov ernor ot Texas is a Georgian, so are both the senators from Mississippi. She gave three governors to Tex is, two to Mi-sissippi, a* governor ami senator to Alabama, and her ablest and best men to Ai kansas. And has plenty more.

THE FUTURE OF THE NEGRO. ' ' We are too much interested in thinking of the future of the white man to devote much time to specula tion about the future of our colored fellow citizen ; but it is a gratifying fact that we have among us men of broad and liberal viaws who feel a deep intertest in this subject. The New York Christain Union has recen tly published a series of articles by Judge IIowcll Cobb, of Athens, on * The Future of the Negro in tbe South,’ and the articles are of such a diameter as to produce an impression upon the public mind. Judge' Cobb writes earnestly and forcibly^ ’ He takes the position that ‘ the providence ot God has entrusted the full,develop* ment of the negro’s latent manhood to the conscience and interest of . the South.’ When we weigh the meaning of this assertion, and view it in all its bear ings, it will be seen that there is a world of significance iu it. Judge Cobb is undoubtedly right, and when the people of theNorth see thebfforls which the people ot the South aro making to educate the negro, they ought to be impressed with the.sincer- ity of our peqple. The enemies of the colored people are not to-be found in this section.
