The Portsmouth Enterprise con
cludes that Beecher is guilty. It

that Beecher tried to reflect discredit

The Senator states that Senator
Cameron expected to pay for the coal

was at sea or at anchor. With duo

was not needed for tho. public use it
could have been put out of commis

Thebe is a bill before the New York
Senate empowering it to remove any
Secretary of State, Comptroller,
Treasurer, Attorney General, State
Engineer and Surveyor, Canal Com
missioner, or State Prison Inspector
for misconduct or malversation in of
fice, giving to sueli officer a copy of
the charges against him and an op
portunity of being heard in his de
fence before any removal shall be
made. The Governor also has the
power to fill the vacancies thus cre
ated. The Canal Ring is working

The flagrant disregard of all justice
on the part of the Radicals is found
in the Radical State of Rhode Island.
That State requires a property quali

may boas rich as A, T. Stewart, but
unless ills riches embrace that
amount of real ostato he can not vote.
If it is a good law for Rhode Island it
is a better one for Georgia. It would
either disqualify a large number of
colored voters, or it would cause them
to get up early, work late, and obey
the divine injunction “Six days slialt
thou labor.” At present they won’t
work on Saturdays.
The Boston Herald, in reference to
the Presidential aspirations for a
third term, says:
The people who think it impossible
for President Grant to get a nomina
tion for a third term have not looked
at the figures. There will bo 369
votes in the convention. Of these
the sixteen Southern States will have
138. Grant could get all these to-day.
and forty-eight more would give him
a majority.
A nomination don’t mean an elec

THH llri*lNF>N OUTLOOK.
The letters published by the, New
York Herald from differonl part- of
the country, that journal t hinks, are
reassuring. We do not see why this
opinion should prevail, except that it
is based on the fact that it would
be difficult foi* business affairs
to lie in a worse condition, und must
speedily improve. Agriculture lias not
prospered in any of the great, sections
of the country, except the Pacific
slope, Since tho panic of *73. The
iron industry is exceedingly flat; and
cotton manufacturers assert that they
have made nothing during the past
year. In Virginia, it is stated that
there is not enough money in the
banks to carry on its ordinary trade.
Tho letter from Wilmington states
thut “the past year has been without
profit to producers and manufactu
rers of naval stores, and such specu
lations as have been entered into
have, as a rule, resulted in loss,” and
the naval store trade, we know, Is Hie
main source of wealth of Wilming
ton. The handsome new stores in
Boston, as in Chicago, indicate the
enterprising character of the people;
but. rents are lower in both cities, and
large numbers of stores, and these
among the finest, are not occupied.
The samo thing is true in New York.
“About 33 per cent, of the houses on
Broadway are either partially or
wholly to let,” says the World. Until

business ail over the country is being
conducted less oil speculative hopes
than formerly, and is steadily ap
proaching a sound basis.
In New York city there is great dis
content among the laboring classes.
Painters, plumbers, cigar makers,
brown stone rubbers, Longshoremen,
all are striking for higher wages.
Couple this statement with that of
the miners’ war in Pennsylvania,
ami the decline of values everywhere
throughout the country, and it does
not seem very promising for the
business interests of the near future.
A general lack of confidence pre
vails everywhere. Yet all feel that
there is greater safety in ail commer
cial transactions now than lias existed
since the war. This is due to greater
caution, not to greater prosperity.

The Oiilnlon of the Niew York Herald.
Why does the telegraph give us
daily tlie opinion of tile Herald, when
the Herald manifestly does not know
its own opinion? In proof of this
assertion we give below two tele
grams received concerning the pros
pective European war:
New York, April 10.- The Herald
this morning, discusses at length
editorially the war cloud in Europe,
and considers that a renewal of tin
war between Germany and France
would involve other nations. Tin
cause of this state of uproar is that
the late Franco-Prussian war was an
unjust war and ended in unjust peace.
Germany’s attitude towards Belgium
is threatening and tho Herald argues
that Germany fearing to offeud civili
zation by direct war on France, will
precinitate a conflict with Belgium.
An attack upon Belgium is an attack
upon France, and that would proba
bly bring to one side or the other as
allies England, Russia and Italy.
The next war in Europe will be a war
of allies, and the Herald predicts that
Germany’s next, victory will not bo
easily won.
New York, April 13. The Herald.
commenting on the war cloud in Eu
rope, after reviewing tlie situation,
says: “If the power of Germany is to
be*broken by war experiments of tlie
present generation, it will not be of
tho combination now threatened.
Russia lias good reason to keep out
of the quarrel with Germany. Bis
marck’s menace to Belgium is signifi
cant. Great Britain guarantees Bel
gium’s neutrality, and any quarrel j
between Prussia and Belgium would
involve Great Britain in an expedi
tion to Prussia. In such an event
Russia would certainly be found on
the side of Prussia and against Great
Britain. ” The Herald concludes: “It
is doubtful, however, if Germany
cares for war. All the rulers of Eu
rope are desirous of peace. The
present cloud, probably, was raised
mainly for effect, with Prussian lim
its, to silence the revolutionists and
anti-nationalists.”
“Democrats don’t want Bastiles.
I Ali they want is a little ballot-box
j with a hole in the top.” So says
j Gov. Allen of Ohio, and we hope the
i fog-horn which that excellent gentle
man’s voice is said to be like unto,
will make Itself heard in nil the peo
i pie’s ears.

The Future of the Negro as It Hears
ripen thr industries of the (south.
We do not deem the discussion of
this subject as In any way connected
with, or influenced by, that of any
immigration. The results of immi
gration will only develop themselves
when the problem of the negro’s so
journ in the Cotton States shall have
lieon worked out by natural process
es. No one will deny but tlint the
relation of tho negro to cotton cul
ture greatly altered when emancipa
tion clothed him with rights and im
munities which he was incapacitated
to assume. And by this assertion
we do not mean to infringe upon the
question of free labor as applied to
cotton culture. Under more favor
able circumstances than the recon
struction-cursed South lias labored
under since the war could this have
been exemplified, and its results sub
mitted to the scrutiny of t he political
economist. But so various have been
the laws imposed upon tho South by
a partisan Congress, and so fraught
with agitation their operation, that
society has suffered, while its most
vital interests have been disturbed
by causes growing out of the political
elevation of tho negro. So long as
the dull, plodding negro was master
ed by the superior intelligence of
tlie white race, iiis labor was lucra
tive to the proprietor. When this
relation was disturbed by the edicts
of a Radical Congress, correspond
ingly the entire labor system of the
South subverted, and made depend
ent upon the caprice and option of
the negro for its perpetuation, or con
tinuance. Under this condition of
things does the Soutli discover that
while her Northern and Western
neighbors are growing rich out of
her misguided efforts at recupera
tion, she is gradually, but surely, lie-
coming weaker and poorer, in the
same proportion as the option to la
bor, or not to labor, possessed by the
negro, is gaining upon a formerly
well-ordered system of agriculture.
True, the same laws affect the North
and West as operate upon us; only
with the difference that the South
alone is in possession of that popula
tion upon whom such laws have
wrought the direst political and in
dustrial disturbances.
In refering to the labor system of
tins South some may urge the all
cotton side of the question, to the
neglect of tho provision crops, as
most Influencing our present depress
ed financial condition. Wo do not
regard this ns solely tho cause.
There is yet a power behind this
which lias impelled the planter to
his utmost efforts at cotton produc
tion in order that he might save him
self from a general collapse in all his
interests. This system, or mode, has
been but a struggle to reach a very
distant goal. Prospective results are
delusive; and the sanguine and help
less planter is yearly impelled to
attempt to regain losses, and
get out of debt when ho knows he is
becoming more impoverished, by
such efforts. To Sum up this part of
the matter til© thriftless, but ever
hungry negro, has come out of the
race a. little ahead of tho white spec
ulator; tlw negro has been provisioned,
and owes no debts, whereas the planter
is in debt, and deeply mortgaged for
that which has passed into consump
tion on the farm account.
But as to the future of the negro as
it bears upon the industries of the
Soutli. Historical precedents are
worth nothing in this question when
applied to the,South. Here tho ne
gro lias imbibed, to some extent, a
Southern civilization, and his future
must be determined by a perpetua
tion of the dominant influences of
tlie white race, or by a gravitation
from sucii anchorage to a status
which liis natural instincts shall de
termine for him. This latter can be
accomplished only by granting to the
negro as a race that freedom of ac
tion which would determine a choice
in consonance with his natural pro
clivities. This choice, or option, has
been assured him by tho Reconstruc
tion and Civil Rights bills. These
are accomplishing for the negro a
destiny which is yet in embryo—that
of segregation, or a gravitation to a
common territory, in which t litit ideal
of liberty which they seem to so much
crave, can lie fully realized.
Cotton culture must of necessity be
vastly influenced l>y these natural
combinations. Its tendency will be
to shrinkage, with higher prices for
the amount produced, attended with
i a healthful revival of the provision
! interests of the country. When tho
I negro population becomes less by
emigration to tlie more Western
States, then will there be less stimu
lus to produce large cotton crops.
This conservatism will cause an im
mediate absorption by speculation of
all surplus cottons on the world’s
market. Cotton production alone
possesses that basis for credit neces
sary to feed a large negro population,
j The agriculture of all white popula
tions, as in Belgium, France, Germa
ny, and other European countries, is
always more conservative than that
practiced through the manipulation
ot, the inferior races. Then it follows
ns a logical sequence that as those
countries which are worked by con
servative white labor are rich and
prosperous, that a system of labor
based upon speculative agriculture,
with no rotation of crops, must grad
ually fail on account of its own inert
ness, or utter incapacity to productive
results. Then in the present condi
tion of things is the process inchoate ;
which must determine the future of!
the negro in the cotton States.
In a future article we shall endeavor i
to point out the means for the indus
trial renovation of the South.

HOW THE GOVERNMENT OOT POSSESSION
or IT-—THE CLAIM or THE LEE FAMILY ,
A VALID ONE.
Couununiottted to It.: N. V. World.J
As Mr. Ciistis died in 1857, it is I
scarcely possible that even u member
of tho Philadelphia Union League
would endeavor to attack the suspi
cion of “disloyalty” to his skirts.
Mrs. M. A. It. Lee, a femme covert,
thus had a life estate in this property
in August, 1861, when Congress pass
ed the bill imposing direct tux upon
insurrectionary districts. Under that ;
act Virginia was taxed $937,522, and ■
tho tax levied upon the Arlington es- i
tate was put at $92, Further acts of,
Congress and regulations of the Tax ,
Commissioners under these acts were I
promulgated, and finally, in 1861, the ,
Arlington estate, long since in the
possession of the Government, was !
sold for this tax bill of $92 07, and by
order of President Lincoln, bought, t
in for the Government for “war, mil- 1
itary, charitable and educational pur- ;
poses,” under tlie act of February o,;
1863, which, however, was never paid !
nor even tendered to any person.
Mrs. Lee, at tho time of sale, ns
also at the time of advertising, was
inside the Confederate lines, where
her duty as femme covert constrained
her to 'be. ’ Nevertheless, when the
Arlington property was offered for
sale in default of taxes, a tender of
the amount duo was made by Mrs.
Leo’s connections in Baltimore and
Washington. This tender the Com
missioners refused to accept, having
ruled that no taxes, under the act of
August 5, 1871, could be paid, unless
the tender was made by the immedi
ate owner of the property in person.
So, that, under this preposterous rul
ing, if a property belonging to an
infant three weeks old, were taxed,
he could not appear by guardian, but
must be fetched up in his nurse’s
arms, with the tax-bill and tin; money
grasped in his chubby fist.
In this way the Government got
possession of this estate, worth $300,-
UUO. It has held possession of it ever
since. About two hundred acres of
tho estate has been converted into a I
national cemetery; the remainder'
has been leased to frccdinen or other
wise used by tlie government.
It is a matter of record that the
United States courts have set aside
every sale of property and declared
every title to fie worthless which was
acquired under the rulings of these
Virginia Tax Commissioners. It is
certain, and has been so decided by
the Supreme Court, that no law is
operative (because no law is consti
tutional), whieti requires the entire
tract to bo sold for taxes when it can
be divided and the taxes and the
charges realized by the sale of a part
of the tract.
It is certain, undo, mat ter of record,
that no title can be made valid where
the proof is wanting that the amount
of tax due was tendered and refused
to be received by the Commissioners
because not, tendered by the owner in
person.
It, is certain that any such ruling as
this makes all sales under it. null and
void.
It is certain that tlie United States
can not acquire title to land in any
State and jurisdiction over it, wit bout,
first obtaining the consent of that
State.
It is certain that, even if it were
possible fortiie United States to do
all these impossible, because uncon
stitutional. things, Hie only thing
which tlie United States could ac
quire title to, because the only tiling
vendible, was Mrs. Mary Ann Ran
dolph Lee's life estate in Arlington.
But the estate expired with Mrs. Lee’s
death in November, 1873, and tlie
United States is now, without law,
decency or common sense, withhold
lag from G. W. Custis Lue what was
once his remainder of revision, but is
now his absolute property for him
self and heirs in the estate of his
forefathers.
Mr. Lee does not wish to regain the
property, but. to exchange for a quit
claim title,-i reasonable sum represent
ing its value at t.ho time of seizure,
and this the Judiciary Commit tee of
the Senate, upon facts bore presented,
has refused him. I say this mode, of
procedure lacks the support of de
cency and common sense, as well as
of law, for this reason: Mr. Custis
Leo, or his children or grandchildren,
are certain to lie paid for this proper
ty some day or other, and wlmt can
now be settled for two or three hon
ored thousand dollars will lie certain
eventually to cost millions.
Lot the New York Herald ponder
on the above facts. Not a Southern
State exists that has not been robbed
by the great, party of "moral ideas.”
Our lacerated hilt sides speak of the
atrocious cotton tax, and our impov
erished people still cry “peace, peace,
when there is no peace.”
The Miners.
One of the results of the war is the
miners’ strike in Pennsylvania. One
of these unfortunate men, no doubt
speaking tlie minds of many of his
comrades, thus complains:
“Only give us tlie same treatment,
tlie darkies in the Soutli received pre
vious to the war give us plenty to
eat, a good bed place, and provide for
our children anu for ourselves, when
we get aged and infirm we will be
satisfied. But the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal ami Iron Company will
not do half of this. We want to be
honest, but it will not allow us leave
to live. We want to work and get our
wages; we do uoi, ask to be permitteii
j to toil and yet have .to steal to sustain
existence.

is to consist not only of a theatre, but

is expected to be finished tor file
