INDUSTBIOUS YOUNG MEN THE HOPE
OF THE SOUTH.
The glory, the honor and prosperity of
the South are not in the hands of old politi
cians ; they are in the keeping of the young
men who, as they prove industrious or in
dolent, great shall be their reward or ter
rible their punishment. What the South
most urgently requires at this supreme
hour of her destiny is a splendid array of
hard working, sober, stalwart and enter
prising youths. She has no need of drones,
and the market for merely professional in
dividuals is already overstocked. Young
men who live in the country should resist
the temptation of clerkships in the city,
and learn that a more notable duty is be
fore them where they are. They will be
happier, more healthy, more surely on the
road to wealth by conquering the glebe
than by loitering in towns and frittering
their lives away over protracted searches
for a paradise in dry goods or a heav
en in groceries. Man must live by
mind or muscle. True there is another
manner of killing time, the ignoble art of
living upon the toil of others. We Will
suppose, however, that few are in this cate
gory, and all anxious to labor in some way
for the common weal. Granting this, l«t
those who have an unmistakable calling for
intellectual pursuits hearken to the voice of
God and light their way through the crowd
ed ranks of lawyers, doctors, teachers,
ministers, etc. But for the mauy, whose
chief reliance is in their glorious strength
of body, let them compel the soil to yield
its fruits, the forest its stores. Let them
put their hands to the plow', if agriculture
invites them ; let them enter the machine
shop if mechanics allure; let them, with a
sturdy pride of independence, grapple with
the duty so plainly set for them to do and
bless the South with a race of Workers
which will be worth all the political acro
bats that ever were or ever shall be. Many
of the best young men that ever trod the
earth have already commenced this splen
did task of rescuing and building up their
States by personal labor. But many re
main to whom the mere contact of an im
plement of trade or agriculture is conceived
to be a shame. Nay, the shame is not in
labor. The shame Is rather with him who
eats idle bread in scorn of honest toil.
Men who distinguished themselves in the
army and navy of the South have not been
ashamed to drive the team a-fleld or pei>
form services which these dainty boys
imagine menial. The other day, we read
how that noble old hero Admiral Buchan
an, with shattered limbs and weighed
down with seventy years of strife and
suffering, had been “ working himself
almost to death in order to support his fam
ily.” There is not a sovereign or prince in
Europe who is not taught some useful
trade, and many a one who sported with
crowns has blessed the day he learned some
craft which became Ills loyal servitor when
the pimps of power left him. In the face
ol these fa< ts, are we to be told that South
ern boys are too proud to work ? Are there
any parents sufficiently imbecile to uphold
them in this false estimate of their dignity
and self importance? We hope not; but if
there be such, wo to them and to their chil
dren ! They are invoking curses instead of
benedictions; they are consummating a
ruin for the South wlnctT even the
Yankee was powerless to inflict. The
young men who work now are bound
to be the lords of the future and the
rulers of the land. No matter how low
ly, industry will ennoble them and their
progeny will own the seats of domination.
Iu the same ratio, the idle and timid will
sink lower and lower as the years progress,
and the traditions of their aristocratic line
age will not save them from decrepitude
and final extinction. The better a man is
born the more is he called upon to give
proof that he is superior to the bones of his
ancestors and worthy of his gentle blood.
There is no excuse for him if he fails to
outstrip those who have to battle against
adverse fate and social ostracism. He ought
to blush if the race be won by the tortoise,
while he is so swift and nimble a hare.
Georgia has this day, at work in the
fields, many a youngster whom she will in
the future delight to honor with her choicest
gifts. We have heard of several whose
example is worthy of public commendation.
The latest illustrations brought to our
knowledge are these:
Amos Norris, of Warren Cos., with one
plow and a horse, cultivated, this season,
eleven acres of land in cotton and eighteen
acres in corn. The land was of the poorest,
ami yet he made five bales of cotton and one
hundred bushels of corn. Not only did he
cultivate this crop without assistance, but,
unaided and alone, packed the cotton and
harvested the corn.
Adam Todd, of the same county, with
buttrifling assistance, made jive bales of cot
ton on nine acres of land, and two hundred
bushels of corn on eighteen acres. His land
"was a little better than that of Norris.
Well done, both of you ! Instead being
asnamed of your labor, let there l>e, hence
forth, a glow of manly pride on your brows.
Let the success of this one experiment
move you to greater exertions in the time
to come. If to this spirit of industry yon
ally sobriety of life, you need not fear for
your children’s or your own destiny.
When the Norrises and Todds shall be
multiplied a thousand-fold, Georgia W'ill
look down on New England and start on a
path of empire which the most fervid fancy
can but inadequately portray.
The Opposing Forces. —Gen. Grant
probably represents the Conservative wing
of Radicalism; Colfax the ultra. Wen
dell Phillips is the oracle of the latter;
the Springfield Republican of the former.—
To show the points of divergence and the
irreconcilable differences of these opposing
forces of the same party, we publish, in
another column, the latest pronunciamento
of Mr. Phillips and the counter-blast of
the Springfield Republican. Those who are
carious about the political problems of the
new era will find much to interest them in
these extraordinary outgivings.
Cute, but Pious. —The “ Veteran Ob
server ” of the New York Times says “ the
removal of the black race from Africa to
America was a fraud upon Nature, and in
time Nature will vindicate her rights.”
Since the Radical party has now full
swing, why not help Nature in the vindica
tion by atoning for the fraud—why not re
mote the African? The fact is, our hu
manitarian friends expect to remove the ne
groes without cost of transportation and
without the possibility of a return. The
next census will show the deadly processes
of the ballot. The mole is forced to face
the sunlight. Alas, for the mole!
Blotting Out. —The Baltimore Sun
says:
“ How systematically the plan lor blotting
out Poland is pursued may be judged froig the
curious action taken lately with regard tUe
Museum of Wilna. Every object wl(idW
remind people of the Polish dominion *fjo be
immediately removed from’the museutnlpd to
be transported forthwith to Moscow, there to
be incorporated in tbe Rumjanzow Museum.
Colfax has another method of blotting
out “rebellion.” . He would send barrel
organs and Yankee songsters over the
South to twang such balderdash as “ Down
with the traitors and up with the stars,”
Those preparations for extinguishing na
tional memories have been tried before,
but never successfully. Noble spirits are
like some stubborn plants, the more you
trample them the more vigorously they
grow.
What a strange coincidence that Euro
pean tyrants and Republican demagogues
adopt similar plans for vindictive purposes.
How strange that despotism seldom essays
the easy mode of subduing angry revolt—
the trial of a little generosity.
* 4 » »-
Nicf. Distinctions. —Henry Ward
Beecher shows, after a fashion, that the
Reconstruction Acts are “ outside of" but
‘‘ not contrary to" the Constitution. Ben
nett, of the Herald, beats Beecher. Hear
this:
“ Now, we will grant that these acts of Con
gress iu the matter of reconstructing the South
are illiberal , unjust and despotic that they ore
unchristian, outrageous and atrocious, and could
only have been conceived in a sanhedrim where
the devil officiated as chief. Yet, we cannot re
yard them as unconstitutional, aud hence not
null aud void.”
If this proposition be granted, let us
burn this miserable Constitution which
permits deviltry and consecrates a lie.
What a pity we did not know of this be
fore ! How many lives have been wasted,
how many hearts broken, how much treas
ure squandered—all for a parchment which
Radicalism lias indeed made a “covenant
with death and a bargain with hell?” O,
Beecher ! O, Bennett ! When Colfax
makes anew heaven, amid the fiery con
stellations ye shall shine as the lurid Ge
mini.
The Next House of Representatives.
—The next House of Representatives ought
to have, at least, eighty-eight Democratic
members. Judging the future by the past,
it is quite safe to assume that defeated Rad
icals, in many instances, will be permitted
to unseat lawfully elected Democrats. The
Radicals will do it and the country will
stand it. We wonder what amount of ras
cality, fraud or despotism could stir the
people of the United States from their
slavish submission to a Congressional Jun
ta? r
Magnanimous ! Sublime !—Minnesota
lias graciously permitted the negro to have
the favor of suffrage. There are just fifty
negroes entitled to it iu all Minnesota. We
call that handsome; it is almost godlike.
What Next?
WENDELL PHILLIPS READS A WARNING
LECTURE TO GEN. GRANT.
Wendell Phillips (“ the man who supplies
the Republican party with brains ”) thus,
in his Anti-slavery Standard of this week,
notifies General Grant what lie must and
must not do in order to “ carry on the Gov
ernment
Abolitionists and all earnest Radicals are
now summoned to address themselves to
the work which is yet to be accomplished.
It has become very apparent, through what
has transpired in Georgia and elsewhere,
that, the reconstruction laws require careful
revision and perfecting in sundry particu
lars. The negroes and loyal whites of the
South greatly need the means of self-de
fense. The question of confiscation, especi
ally with reference to the large amount of
land fraudulently conveyed from the pos
session of the United States Government to
the hands of rebels, should bo at once con
sidered, in the interest of the landless
blacks, to whom, by virtue of their past
unrequited toil, the soil rightfully belongs.
A system of national education which shall
bo comprehensive, and at least co-extensive
with the extension of the ballot, should
early be inaugurated by Congress.
The measure of primary importance now
to be promptly initiated and adopted on
the re-assembling of Congress is an addi
tional amendment to the Constitution for
bidding disfranchisement or proscription
from official trust on account of race or
color in any State or Territory of the Union.
Such an amendment, if adopted promptly
by Congress and submitted to the Legisla
tures of the several States, would, without
doubt, now be ratified by the requisite num
ber. It is urgently demanded to guarantee
the ballot to Southern colored men, and to
enfranchise many thousands in the Border
and Northern States. This measure should
not be postponed for the consideration of
the Forty-first Congress, but should he
promptly acted upon and adopted by the
Fortieth.
Let us have peace” has been many times
reiterated during the campaign just closed.
One danger before us is the assumption that
the fact of Grant’s election in itself will
insure “ peace” at the South. Abolitionists
ami those who have studied attentively
Southern society know better than this.
While Southern Legislatures are permitted
to perpetrate such high-handed outrages as
the lawless expulsion of colored members,
as in Georgia, without due punishment; if
rebels are permitted to take seats in the
House of Representatives who came from
districts wherein colored and white Repub
licans were practically excluded from the
polls, “peace” cannot be realized. The
negro is still the bone of contention, and
until his manhood and political equality is
everywhere recognized he will continue to
be a disturbing element in our politics.
Smarting under their political discomfit
ure, the Ku-Klux will still hold sway, es
pecially if the'r treasonable chief is per
mitted to remain in the White House till
the 4th of March next. With the triumph
ant re-election of Gen. Butler, and the
well-known desire of most of the new
Southern members for the revival of the
measure, we have strong hopes of the suc
cessful consummation of the impeachment
and deposition of Johnson by the begin
ning of the new year.
With Wade even two months in the
White House, and such tools of treasou as
Rousseau, Steedman and‘Company, of New
Orleans, replaced by Sheridan and other
trustworthy, loyal men; with the recon
struction laws properly revised and amend
ed ; with suffrage and the right to hold
office vouchsafed to the negro everywhere,
the nation may be well on the way towards
“peace,” having secured its essential con
ditions, before Gr ant is inaugurated. While
deliberate and organized injustice to the
negro is perpetuated, the “irrepressible con
flict” will continue, no matter who may be
President. “Let us have peace,” then by
promptly doing those things which make
for peace.
The new era which opens before us, with
the significant defeat of the slaveholders
and their apologists on Tuesday, is full of
interest to Abolitionists and conscientious
Radicals, to whom the national conflict
means something more than a mere parti
san strife, to end with election day. Our
many triumphs of the past have been _won
under circumstances of adverse opposition
much more formidable than anything we
are likely to have to encounter in the near
future. Opposition, we are undoubtedly
to have, but now, as hitherto, logic and
right are on our side. We have but to press
urgently and perseveringly our demand,
and our past successes are a guarantee of
ultimate complete triumph. The Times, the
Post, the Herald, and the “ Conservatives ”
for whom they speak, already exultant at
what they deem the eclipse of Radicalism,
reckon without their host in supposing it
to be within the power of General Grant,
if, as they allege, it to be his disposition, to
materially obstruct the progress of Radical
reformation in national politics. If the Re
publican party consents to be the instru
ment of that benifleent reformation all will
be well with both the party and the coun
try* If it refuses it will only be worse for
; the party. There is no halfway house for
permanent lodgement between slavery and
genuine Republicanism. The only truly
formidable opponfcit»>he Abolitionists ever
had were the braifc. Jmamnions of the slave
system while theii^p ower J vas co-extensive
with the nation and thens leadership ac
knowledged North and South. Their day
is over. The earnest Radical/* are the posi
tive force in the new order of things. The
tendency of this century is to Universal
Radical Republicanism. /
PER CONTRA, THE SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN
READS A LESSON TO THE RADICAL PARTY.
[ From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, Nov. 4.
The result of the election yesterday,
though it was all the Republicans could
have asked, was not a triumph of the Re
publican party as a distinctive organization.
* * * And if the victory was not achiev
ed by the Republican party, as a political
organization, in its own strength and by
the prestige of its name, no more does it
give that party, as an organization, anew
lease of power. * * * The result of the
election does not indicate a popular ap
proval even of the general policy of Con
gress. The election was carried in spite of
the policy. Had that simple issue been
presented, we very much fear every one of
the four Middle States would have pro
nounced against it.
* * * It may seem crabbed and cross
grained, iu the first rejoicings over the vic
tory, to thrust forward such considerations.
But it was never of more importance that
the true meaning of the country should be
understood. Congress may assemble in a
few days under the emergency created by
the carnival of crime at the South. At the
longest it will meet in a few weeks. Upon
its temper depends very much. Represent
atives have before this shown a strange
facility, or fatality, in misapprehending the
wishes of the people. They must not do
so now. If they imagine that the elections
are a token of particular admiration for
them ; if they think they can begin again
just where they left off last April, alarmed
at the populaUdiscontent and the increas
ing danger of losing the election ; if they
allow themselves to be persuaded that, now
the campaign is it will do to take the
screws off the expenditures, they make a
great mistake. They will not get off so
easily the next time. * * *
That party is dead and* gone, and even
its name is likely to perish. There is cer
tain to be a recast of the political elements,
according to the new and live issues ; and,
now, if the leaders and managers of the
Republican party—the men who live by it
aud think they own it—wish to keep it in
the control of the Government, they must
make it attractive for those who look to
honesty, integrity and efficiency In admin
istration. It is not difficult to gather the
sentiments of the men who have turned the
scale this time in favor of the Republican
party, and who must be looked after to
keep it in power. Iu voting to sustain the
reconstruction acts against the mad de
signs of the reactionists, they have not de
cided against a change in those acts, but
quite the contrary. They desire ail amelio
ration of them in their most offensive fea
tures.
The disfranchisement of any class, or the
exclusion of any State, for acts done in the
rebellion, never wise, has grown to be sim
ply stupid. The limited disfranchisement
imposed has done harm, and only harm. It
has not assured the control of a simile State
in loyal hands. It has lifted the disfran
chised into undue and unsafe importance,
aud given them a title of respect among
their fellow-citizens. Towards the General
Government it has simply served to annoy
and exasperate all classes, and make vio
lence and negro intimidation seem some
thing like fair reprisal. Unqualified negro
suffrage is another feature that will not
bear examination, and must eventually be
modified ; but the circumstances of the sit
uation are so difficult and peculiar that an
immediace change is pot practicable. All
that can be done hereafter—all, indeed, that
is desirable to be done—is to introduce
throughout the country an educational test,
impartial with respect to color and sex, by
which the suffrage will be limited to per
sons of some intelligence, whether black,
white, red or yellow.
But it is in matters of revenue and ex
penditure that the sense of tho country is
most positive, and )»'■ resolution taken. —
* * * \Ye cannot go on as wo are. The
country is losing strength too fast, and the
poor are becoming too thoroughly impov
erished. Whether rightly or wrongly, the
people will accuse the party in power of
those evils, the cause of which i hey may
not see, but the effects of which they most
bitterly feel. Mr. Seymour was right—the
financial issue is to be pressed; and the Re
publican party roust meet it with courage
and intelligence.
Beast Butler Makes a Speech.
he threatens the soutii'with his ven
. GEANCE.
Butler made a speech at Lowell, Massa
chusetts, on Thursday evening. He said lie
had triumphed under the motto of equality
to all men, and their rights under the law,
by using freedom’s great weapon, the bal
lot. He hailed the glorious triumph of Re
publican principles throughout the land,
and believed it would bring peace and pros
perity. We shall not long have murder
after murder and riot after riot. Look at
New Orleans, from which we have reported
25,000 for Seymour and 276 for Grant. —
There was a time, he remembered, when the
people of that city behaved better. [Ap
plause.] He felt confident that such a time
would come once more.
Several Southern States have voted for
Seymour or are in doubt, because men’s
lives were threatened if they attempted to
vote. When Congress meets, as it will in
a short time, it will be our purpose to find
a remedy for this state of things, and if
Johnson does not second our efforts, though
it may be late in the day. wc will try to
provide for him. [Applause.]
If the Republican party is true to the
great Democratic principles of Jefferson
and others, it will hold the Government for
a generation to come. We must be true to
the doctrine of equality, and trust in the
virtue and integrity of the great mass of the
people, rather than to any member selected
from among them. Let us pledge ourselves,
as the party in power, with a renewed lease,
that >ve will aid in carrying out the princi
ples under which we triumphed.
butlf.r’s triumph.
[From the Springfield (Mass ) Republican.
This victory of Butler’s, brilliant as it
will anpear to him, has cost him a deal
more than the money he has paid out. He
has gained his election but has lost his
prestige. The thousands of his majority
will not make up for the serious and deter
mined hostility of the myriads of good Re
publicans all over the country who came
out against him, and the still larger num
ber who supported him with a reservation
and under protest. He will go into the
next Congress—nay, into the next session
—with the certainty that Grant and his
advisers, and all the better-leaders of liis
party, have lost the little confidence they
ever had in him. His success at the polls
will increase rather than lessen their dis
trust of him. He will find it harder than
ever to carry a measure in Congress—-far
harder, nay, impossible, to smuggle
through fictitious claims in the committee
room, and enrich his frieuds with the pub
lic plunder. In Massachusetts he will be
formidable, because he has got his foot on
the necks of the political leaders, but that
will not last long; while outside the State
lie will be powerless, until he repays his
Democratic friends who gave him such a
heavy vote, by joiuing their party aud mak
ing open war upon Grant, as he is likely
to do at the first opportunity.
A Flea Bite.— Heroic men 1 The Radicals
of lowa have voted to strike the word white
out of their State constitution ; and the Tribune
thanks God for their valor. The Tribune thanks
God on small provocation. In an aggregate
population of 074,913, lowa by the last census
contained exactly 500 colored male Americans
of African descent, not enough, if every man of
them were a barber, and every barber as clever
as Olivier le Dain, to shave one-thirtieth part
of the malts white citizens of lowa on a bright
Sunday morning. But Ohio, with 36,673 color
ed denizens out of 2,339,511, has just voted that
colored persons shall not vote by a majority
greater than its whole colored population. We
commend to the Tribune a free version of the
old Horatian maxim: “ Don’t ckll in the gods
to heal a flea-bite.”

Indigestion—the most fruitful generator of disease, so
common as not to be considered dangerous—slowly and
surely saps the foundation of health, for, with impaired
digestion, it is impossible for food to a fiord strength to
the system. Dyspepsia invariably follows this disease,
and dyspeptics owe all their sufferings to indigestion.
Nervous and sick headache also spi mg from derangement
of the digestive organs. Persons of sedentary habits fre
quently suffer irom these evils, which are attended with
a nervous initabiiify of temper, extremely unpleasant to
others and a source of misery to thtmselves. HOSTET
