So it appear* that Sammis starts out on

he will do the same thing abroad if he

that he i* not even a negro-only a mon-

obstacle to the system, and, indeed, it ap

cotton, rice and sugar. This was tri»«l
as early as in the days of General Ogle
thorpe. and proved utterly abortive. The
pious Whitfield himself, then residing at
Savannah, after cultivating his planta
tion for years with English and German
labor, with the poorest results, was as
sisted by bis friemls in the purchase of
eight negroes and a piece of land on the
Carolina side of the river, and. after
wards wrote thus: '‘/Wessed be God! th
plantation has succeeded, and will raise
more in one year, and with a quart nr the
rerpense, than has been produced at Beth
esda in several years. We have near 500,-
000 negroes on the spot, and if we begin
in time, and before they are utterly
ruined by tho continued pursuit of the
present system, they can be converted
into the 'best cotton field labor in the

HOW TO MAKE NBORO LABOR AVAILABLE.
This can only be done by providing
homes for the negroes, and settling them,
so that their families may be trained to
labor on the form. Reserving tbe title
in tbe land to themselves, let tbe plant
ers ** settle the negroes by adopting a gen
eral system of leaeehold, a new system of
copyhold tenure** ** By this tho free ne
groes can have homes for a term of years—
five, ten, fourteen years, or for life, with
families, gardens, orchards, milk cows,
mules, pastures, etc., on prudent condi
tions of rents, fines, good behavior, etc.,
to suit each landholder's oim mind, and by
this the landholders will have a fixed,
abundant supply of, lal>or always at
home.** The present plan of one year
contracts must be abandoned,or tho country,
white and black, will be ruined.** Until
the revolution of 1789 broke up tho land
tenures of Franco, tho earth was tilled
M by former slaves,** or " long leasehold
tonantt.” •* In Italy it is done to-day,
without writing,'* under immemorial
usage, and farms d»*scen 1 thus from fa
ther to son, tho laborer *»aying half of his
crops for rent. In En jlan-1 the samo is
done by the system of ” copyhold ten
ure." “ The e leases pass no estate;** they
cannot bo sold by the tenant or the
sheriff. Th«-y grant only a right to pos
sess and enjoy the use of the house and
grounds, exactly as tho law of Georgia
now provides for landlords and tenanta."
Similar to thin is tho '* allotment sys
tem," which is, perhaps, tho better
to begin with. ** The allotment
tenants are poor laborers, called
“oott&gers," and the leases to them are
coined to the cottage and a half acre of
land. * In 1860 Lord Sondes had one
hundred and sixty such cottages, paying
ca, h $3 a year rent for the garden, and
$15 for the cottage. This system worked
so well, and proved so profitable to the
land holders, that they and the ‘fiords of
manors for it, voluntarily, without law,
al*andoned slavery, each man for himself,
and reserving such grounds as they
wanted for their own use, leased out the
whole country, gradually, to their slaves,
who thus became freed men and copy-hold
tenants.'* There is not a word of trnth in
the assertion that Chriftianity emanci
pated the English slave. Mr. Hume, and
all history, contradict* it. It was self-
interest that did the work. * To regulate
and control this “copyhold," or “allot
ment" system, “plantation courts" would
be necessary, known in England as tho
“court baron.** “We must have one for
every ten plantations.” *Tt is a homo
court—sit* on the land every three weeks,
administers—not the general laws of the
nation—hut only the bye-laws and con
tracts of each particular manor or planta
tion.’* The land-holder is judge, and
the bailiff is his bailiff. The business
of the bailiff is to collect small
debt* among the tenants at home : to
collect rents, punctually every quarter,
to keep good order, and to arrest all sturdy
r>t man in America ' beggars and idle vagabonds found on the
during his nont • land." This is the court and bailiff wo
want. If we furnish tbe negroes with
good homes and long leases they must
behave well. No idle fellow con he found
ou an English* manor; the bailiff of the
manor and the public work-house are ever
ready for him. All oar hopes depend
upon such a court, which will Administer
justice quickly. Five or ten plantations
can group together and elect one of the
owners to keep the court roll, and be
judge of the manor thus constituted- It

course, the same class would he arrayed
against the new system, and prove a se
rious disturbing element-
Again, we doubt if anything, like th«*
same degree of intelligence and reliabil
ity exists among the recently eman
cipated and demoralized negroes, that
obtained with the serfs and white
slaves of Europe, at the introduction of
the leasehold or allotment system. They
ha/1 not been subjected to the diabolisms
of F* ttish preachers, carpet-l*tg knaves,
and Northern missionaries, whose province
was to teach hate and antagonism, in
place of love and confidence towards their
white brethren. It would he very diffi
cult, especially to obtain the consent of
the negroes to place themselves under
the jurisdiction of the plantation courts,
and much trouble would grow out of
their lack of responsibility. But it is
not the wish or purpose of the writer to
oppose the project of Mr. McKinley. On
the contrary, we trust that the legisla
ture will pass “permissive Acts" to those
applying for the same, that the system
may have a fair trial. Should they
prove successful, others will follow suit,
and perhaps as in England, it would
gradually become general. As the whole
plan is hosed upon the voluntary principle,
there can be no reasonable objections to
it, while a vast amount of good may \>e
the result.
The tone of Mr. McKinley's speech is
exoellent, anil he expresses himself very
clearly and forcibly.
An appendix give* the terms and con
ditions of tenure undeit which the cottage
tenants of the Right Hon. John, Lord
Sondes, hold their respective occupations
in tho county of Suffolk. These are very
simple and comprehensive, and define
when tho rent shall be paid, how the
land must bo cultivated, tbe proper rota
tion of crops, etc., and reserves all marl
and brick earth, minerals, etc., in the
soil, and all fruit trees, hut not the fruit
tharoof, to the proprietor. Nor is the
tenant permitted to form out, under let,
or take in lodgers on any part of the pre
mises. For felony, or any offence against
tho laws of the country, also, the tenant
shall bo dispossessed and ejected from the
premises.
The limits of a single newspaper ar
ticle forbid any more extended notice of
this interesting address. It will richly
repay a careful perusal.
Still Tumbling:.
The wires report further failures at
the North, and a dead lock in nil busi
ness in Wall street, notwithstanding the
letting loose of that ten millions by the
Government. It does not seem to have
relieved the pressure, and tho crevasse
continues to widen. Several National
banks and Trust companies have gone
by the hoard, and the end apparently is
not yet. The shrinkage in all values
must be perfectly terrific, and will swamp
hundreds. We still have faith, though,
in the ultimate result. This country is
too rich to break—the thing is simply
Impossible. Besides, we believe the
Government will come to the rescue, and
save the credit of the country. The
Secretary of the Treasury can turn loose
forty odd millions yet, if necessary, to
stem the tide. Let us keep a stiff upper
lip.
Then and Now.
In the days when the national admin
istration was in the hands of men who
regarded the rights of all sections and
the true people thereof, and the govern
ment was administered in the interest*
of those who paid the taxes that sup
ported it, a decent regard for the wishes
and feelings of the latter was always the
rule. Now all this is reversed, and Fed
eral officials, especially at the South, con
sult everything else, and seem to take a
delight in showing their contempt for
the interests and convenience of those
among whom they are stationed. If the
doing or not doing a thing suits their
profit or pleasure, that is sufficient. A
cose in point, which illustrates this dif
ference between the rule of patriots and
partisans, is furnished in the recent re
moval of the postoffice at Gainesville
from the centre of the town to a point in
der it very trashy.
The Central City and News—one print
ed Thursday and the other Friday—still
continue to reach this office together, and
not until Saturday mornings, either.

Dastardly Outrage ix Alabama—
Two Merchants Knocked nr the Head

September 18.—Last night, about 11
o’doek, just after the down passenger
train from Columbus, Go., to Troy. A1&..
ha* passed Linwood, Ala., a negro (name
not known) walked into the grocery kept
hv Capt. A. P. Love and asked for a bot
tle of whisky, pulling out a twenty dollar
bill. Love refused changing it. The ne
gro then handed him one dollar. As Lore
turned around to change it he was knock
od in the head by the negro with a club,
who then turned around and knocked
down a negro boy who assisted in the
store. Then, hitting Love three more
licks, he robbed the store of a considera
ble amount of cash. The negro then
came up to Thomnsville, Ala., and knock
ed at the storeof John Phelps, who opened
the door and was immediately knocked in
the head by tbe same negro, and the store
robbed of & small amount of cash. No
goods were stolen. The negro made good
his escape. Both men are delirious and
in a very critical condition, and not cx-
pected t<» live.
One Kkkivtok I >iti in.s. Etc.—A gen
tleman told us yesterday there was no
exclusively clothing establishment in Ope
lika, Ala., and that a fine opening is pre
sented for such an enterprise. He had
made arrangements with a prominent
house in this city, in connection with New
York men, to locate such a business in
stitution in that city. The bite killing
in that city, hut more especially the duel-
istic correspondence which has grown
ont of it, and ramified in most unexpected
places, and called in persons who had no
possible connection with it. has caused
tho New York firm to withdraw both
their credit and money from such an un
dertaking. They argne badly for busi
ness from existing circumstances. They
arcs afraid to venture means in places
whence originate such disturbances.
Ix Town.—B. D. Lay came to the city
on the 2:30 p. m. train of yesterday, from
Opelika, according to his programme pub
lished in the Atlanta Herald. The object
of his visit we know not and care as little.
He has not interfered with ns in anyway.
We have never seen Mr. Lay hut twice,
never sought his society, never did him
harm, and simply denounced as gross
falsehood, and still do so. every statement
ho made regarding ns—which falsehoods
he traveled ont of his duelistic corres
pondence to wantonly introduce. There
was some excitement on the streets. We
believe we are sustained by every citizen
of Coin in bn 8 whose good will is worth
having. We desire also to state that the
rumors that he pulled our nose in amy
sense, is equally a* false as any statement
he has made. J. G. DeVotie,

We regret to learn from the Gainesville

The above present* a condensed, hut
fair resume of the argument and plan pro
posed by Mr. McKinley for the regulation
of our labor system. It contains much
that is striking aad suggestive, and the
matter should receive the careful consid
eration of our people and law-givers.
We heartily subscribe to the proposi
tion that farmers should hold on to the
only heritage left them by the war, the
lands they occupy. To sell them to the
negroes in small parcel*, is to fasten upon
the country a population of thriftless las-
aroni, too often thieve*, who can never he
rooted out again. With the smallest mod
icum of labor, supplemented by stealing,
thev manage to subsist, and proof
sufficient to convict say. of their crimes,
is almost impossible, flo far from adding
to the productive labor and capital of the
country, these fee simple negro settle
ments destroy the value of all the real es
tate contiguous. Decent white people
want to sell out aad escape from such a
neighborhood, and buyers are not to be
had. In tho Shermaxuaed districts on the
seaboard, the ruined land-holders, desti
tute of means, and anshls to cultivate and
nsidi upon their desolated farms, have
been driven by necessity thus to divide
and at thero to the freedmen.
The result is, that those localities are
grinsa over almost wholly to the black*,
and never again will be restored to their
former prosperity.
JTot dost It appear from th# hffiited «e-
periments mode with Swedish and other
white labor, that any reliance oaa be
plated upon tho supply from that quar
ter. These immigrants, as soon as they
learn the ropes, and get acquainted, rent,
or buy land, and set up for themselves.
This is what the country needs, to a cer

Th* Spkciil Enoinx.—Under thia
head we find the following in the Atlanta
Constitution of yesterday.
This practice of overhauling old files
and parading extract, from past flam
boyant editorial proclamations, and
then fitting them to present facta onght
really to be stopped. Its so deuoedly
impolite, you know. Says the Constitu
tion.
For several days the Constitution en
gine has been the role special newspaper
"train" on the Maoon and Western rail
road. Its companion quit. ‘ It has been
going solitary and nlone, delivering ita
freight of Constitutions. Wo copy some
thing on the subject of special engines
that didn’t appear in the Constitution.
For instance, on the 25th of July: " The
chartering of that train was a well con
sidered, carefully debated project and be
yond perchance and peradTentnre. It will
male a regular trip every mommy, carrying
oar mails until the ichedulei, to changed that
we can taiitfactarily carry our mailt on th,
regular train, even if this should he ten years
of." It’s own italics. "We will further
say that the proprietors of this paper
have determined, that the capricious fluc
tuations of railroad schedules, shall not
interfere in any instance with the prompt
delivery of this paper. And they hereby
announce that when tho schedule on. any
read leading out of Atlanta becomes so
shortened that we cannot properly de
liver our paper by the regular trains, we
shall at once put on a speaial train and
run it. as we will do in this case till the
schedule is adjustedtosnitour purposes."
On the second day of August this farther
announcement was made, after reiterating
a determination not to allow railroad sched
ules to interfere with mail delivery, and
quoting a project of another'startnng re
form on another road. This, likewise;
was not in the Constitution. " In accord
ance with this promise mode with full
light before us, we have closed a trade
with Colonel W. W. Wadley, of the Cen
tral Railroad, chartering an engine for
$2,000 per month, which will he put on
the Macon and Western Railroad on next
Monday night (at which time the night
mail train will he discontinued), and run
regularly until the schedule is so adjusted at
to suit our mail arrangements. We make
no loast in this matter. We are merely
working ont a carefully studied calm and
hopeful plan." "Our spocial train will
leave Atlanta on Tuesday morning, aad
every morning thereafter,” etc. Ha Italics
are ours. The Constitution said none of
these things. In a business way
it sought business co-operation, for
reciprocal business advantage of
papers and readers. It made no
promises to its readers, but undertook this
voluntarily, hoping for an early resump
tion of the regular trains. It tried to
effect a profitable arranges)*)t aMts foe
itself ana subraribere, but was forced, by.
the nnbusineee like precipitancy of othsra
and their refusal of eo-opeiaSon, far Shake
an unnecessarily high contract, that the
"others" hare finally dropped like a hot
iron. But we didn’t write these things
aoove quoted. Nat a word of them 1 And
yet the Constitution engine alone ia run

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
The Bankers in Council
New Y«»aiT, September 20.—The of
ficers of the banks and tho Clonring-
hbuse Association, at their meeting this
afternoou, unanimously resolved that
until the 1st of November next any bank
iq the Clearing-house who shall issue to
that bank certificates to the amount of 75
per cent, in cash value, such assets and such
certificates shall be accept* 1 in settle
ment of Clearing-house differences, in
place of legal tender notes.
! They further resolved to pool all their
legal tender notes, and make a common
cause against nuy attempt to break any of
their' issues. These certificates will be
carried to the fullest extent of asset* of
bftnka, if necessary. The practical effect
of the issue will be to economize the
/of legal tender notes, these certificate*
taking their place. It is an expansion of
bftnk credit* and facilities, but not of ir
redeemable paper. Banks to which loan
oertificatee may be issued will be charged
in addition to 7 per cent, intercut one
quarter of one per cent. to. defray expen
ses consequent ou carrying out this plan.
A member of the Governing Committee
of the Stock Exchange, when questioned
this evening in regard to closing, said
that bankers had begun to refuse each
other’s checks, and it was useless to
attempt a continuance of business un
der such circumstances. Uuder the
rules every member of the Stock Ex
change was obliged to recognize any cer
tified check upon any bank on the clear
ing house, but affairs were in si A a • tate
that a man who deposited & certified
check and drew against it, did not low
hqw he wps standing. The members of
the Governing Committee, at 11 o’clock,
unanimously resolved upon closing of the
Exchange by 11:50.
The day closed with a better feeling
among the banks and with the|belicf that
affairs will mend early next week. The
closing of the Stock Exchange is general
ly applauded, and the opinion is express
ed that the GoverningCommittee [should,
after making some arrangement for a
settlement among brokers of contracts
falling due to-day and Monday, keep the
