Soi'th Caroun.v seems to be get
llng on pretty well under the admin
istration of Governor Chnmberlane.
Don Cablos has Issued a proclama
tion to his soldiers, urging them to
energetic resistance of the fresh at
tack of the Northern Army.
The Republican press carefully
abstains from either printing the
news about Minister Sohenek and
the Emma Mine swindle, or from
expressing auy opinion upon that
disgraceful business.
Tub Athens Georgian says: For use
of universities, colleges and public

It is proposed by the Provincial
Legislature of Buenos Ayes to portion
out in small farm plots some 18,000
square leagues of Government lauds
in the south and west, and to sell
them at cheap rates to agricultural
emigrants.
-
Twenty thousand dollars were
spent In the construction of the
building in which Moody and Hunkey
are preaching and singing. Would
not that $90,000 expended utuong the
poor and suffering this winter have
done infinitely more good to human
ity?
The Southern States Exposition
opens in New Orleans on February
20,1870, and continues ten days. Com
petition for very attractive premiums
Is asked from all parts of the United
States, Mexico and Central America,
and especial prizes are to be awarded
to strictly Southern products.
The surgical examination of the
body of Lexington, the great Ken
tucky raoe horse, revealed a most sin
ge lar cause for his death. That part
or tho skull under tho loft eye, where
t he trouble of tho horse seemed to be
located, was filled with at least a
quart of masticated food, which had
been forced into the cavity through
au opening in the upper jaw, caused
by the loss of a tooth.
It takes French ministers a long
time to learn that freedom of discus
sion can not injure a good cause.
M. Buffet, by warning the Paris
journals not to print M. Paul de Cus
sagnao’s speech, has impairod the
reputation of the Government, and
given the Bonapartlst champion
more imiiortance than he deserved.
The stato of siege which permits ar
bitrary acts of this kind has existed
too long. It has continued princi
pally because tho powers It gives
were net before this exercised on
such slight occasion.
A oorke.hpondf.nt writing from Mex
ico describes tho condition of affairs
as vastly Improved under tho Presi
dency of Lerdo. Ten years ago all
was anarchy and confusion. Now all
Is peace and progress. Since tho
days of Montezuma Mexico has not
enjoyed such general quiet and pros
perity. Itailroads have beon con
structed, highways repaired, marshes
and lakes drained, canals dug, and
manufactures encouraged. A rail
road is opening rapid transit be
tween tho city of Mexico and some of
the most populous towns and dis
tricts of tho valley. It is a purely
Mexican affair, and built with the
proceeds of a lottery, combined with
the contributions of stockholders.
The street car lines of tho city of
Mexico are also in a prosperous con
dition, and the visitor can ride on a
tramway to the famed tree of tho
“Noche Triste," where Cortez three
hundred years ago wept, as the rem
nants of his defeated forces tiled sor
rowfully before him.
The Washington Star says that the
United States Senate at its next ses
sion will be pretty equally divided
politically. The Senators may be
classified as follows: 40 Republicans
(including Alcorn, Robertson, Ham
ilton and Edmunds); 29 Democrats,
and three independent Republicans—
Booth, Christianey und Cameron, of
Wisconsin. There are twt> vacancies
to be filled, one caused by the recent
death of Mr. Ferry, of Connecticut,
and the eternal vacancy from Louisi
ana, claimed by Pinehback. A Dem
ocratic Sonator will be chosen In the
place of Mr. Ferry, of Connecticut,
which will give the Democrats 30 in
stead of 29 votes. Should a Democrat
be elected from Louisiana, us is
thought probable, and be be admit
ted to a seat, which is believed im
probable, the Democrats will muster
31 votes. From the total Republican
vote taken those whose votes cannot
ulways be counted upon—Alcorn,
Robertson, Hamilton and Edmunds
—and their list is diminished to 36.
Leaving out the question of the Lou
isiana Senatorship, tho Democrats
will bo able to cast a total vote of 30.
Add to tbis the four doubtful Repub
licans above named, and they will
harve st. To this add three Indepen
dents—Booth, Christiancy, and Cam
eron, of Wisconsin, and the opposi
tion to the undoubted Republican el
ement would number 37, or a majori
ty ot one. Although most of the
Senators pat down as doubtful or in
dependent Republicans more fre
quently vote with the Republicans
than the Democrats, it will be seen
at a glance that when they do the lat
ter they will leave the Republicans
in the minority. Such a circumstance
is likely to happen very seldom, but
it would have occurred last winter
had a direct vote been taken in the
Pinehback ease.
THK TEX AN AM) P.in PIE 1t.%11.H0A |.
Among the many interesting fea
tures of the St. Louis convention was
the appearance of tho several State
delegations. One noticed in the del
egations from tho Cotton States an
absence of, that cheerful, confident
air that characterized the Western
men and tho Texans. Wealth and
prosperity breed contentment and
a confidence in tho future coupled
with refinement of manners that
means general happiness. Poverty
and bad government Induces a rest
less, nervous, speculative activity
that longs for any change,or u torpid
acquiescence in tho situation which
is still more appalling. To the
Southern people, then, these great
conventions where all antagonisms
are merged in order to consider one
common enterprise, and all section
alism quaffed into nothingness
under the genial inlluences of the
splendid banquet, are most desira
ble occasions which remove tho rust
from some and moderato tho prej
udices of others. Gen. Sherman’s
eordial greeting of General John
ston serves as an index to the gen
eral courtesy and comity that pre
vailed. My next neighbor rehearsed
a meeting between Gen. Beaure
gard and Gens. Grant and Pope,
and argued that when animosity
scorns so thoroughly dead between
our leaders It should cease between
thopoople. If this sentiment was
overheard by somo "unreconstruet
od” Southron .courtesy forbade an un
pleasant rejoiner, and the banquet
was truly a “feast of soul and a flow
of reason.” Whatever may be our in
dividual opinions regarding the build
ing of the great highway to tho Paci
fic wii.lt Government money -and we
confess to tho belief that opposition
to subsides by the General Govern
ment In the main is tho strongest po
litical argument loft for tho Southern
people as opposed to Radicalism—
yet, wo must bow in deference to the
popular will. Tho same cause which
made our chairman veto “aye” for
Georgia against his individual con
victions, but in accordance with the
will of the State Delegation should
influence the press as well.
In spite of the unconstitutionality
of the measure—and wo have no doubt
as to its unconstitutionality-and in
spite of the fact that tho Government
could build tills road at one-half the
cost incurred by grantiug this
money subsidy, and tho 30,000,000
acres of lund already granted, yet the
Southern people as illustrated in
that Convention, undoubtedly are
largoly in favor of the present scheme,
under tho leadership of Col. Thomas
A. Scott. Therefore, we will give all
the facts pertinent to tho subject,
whenever we can, without a persis
tent opposition to the popular will.
Tho fact that since tho formation of
tho Government, the North and East
have received $75,000,000 from the
Government, and tho South only
$19,000,000, overbalances all other
considerations on the part of our
people. They ignore their past con
sistency in combatting these central
izing tendencies of the Government,
and now appeal for our proportion of
tho aid extended by tho Federal Gov
ernment. Had this course been
adopted at tho timo of the Yazoo
frauds, what would liavo been the
result? Tho Soutli was prosperous
and out of debt then; it is impover
ished and “hacked” now'. The al
most unanimous opposition to any
Government aid to any branches of
the Texas & Pacific road was a
prominent feature in the Convention.
Let us hope that this opposition will
continue and that the Soutli will not
commit itself to theso Credit-MobUin
schemes.
Tariff Varus All on I Amcrlcun Cot (on.
An immense outcry lias reoently
been raised in the monopolist press
of this country over the sale ut, Man
chester of certain American cottons
exported to England during tlie.se
days of depression in our home trade.
We commend to the authors of this
outcry the following brief exposition
of tlie phenomenon which wo find
casually made in an obscure column
of the Loudon Times:
"Borne amusement lias been crea
ted at Manchester by the notice ta
ken elsewhere of a recent exporta
tion of American cloth which was
sold at lower prices than could be
quoted for articles of a similar quali
ty the produco of Lancashire mills.
The fact governing all calculations
on this subject is the existence iu
America of a very high protective
tariff to keep Manchester manufactu
rers out of tlieir country. As long as
this is the case it is obvious that
some very exceptional reason must
account for anybody’s ability to dis
pose of American-made cottons in
England. The depression of Amer
ican trade may have gone so far in
some quarters as to make it expe
dient to undersell Lancashire as a
last resource for disposing of goods
on hand. This is simply selling off
stock ‘at a sacrifice,’ and such bar
gains arc no more likely to be often
repeated than the French import of
unbleached printing-clot h to England
during the cotton famine, or an im
portation of Russian cotton yarn
which was made in tho same emer
gency.”
Which reminds us of a '‘little sto
ry.” When Massachusetts was press
ing Daniel Webster for the nomina
tion at Baltimore in 1852, the tele
graph reported to an anxious crowd
ill State street several successive bal
lots showing a steady frontof 31 votes
for the Massachusetts candidate.
Suddenly the vote fell to 30, and stuck
there through two or three successive
ballots. Gloom settled on every face.
Click went the machines, and again
reported ”31 votes for Webster.”
Three cheers were sent upwitli a will,
and the crowd shouted: “A gain of
one! A gain of one!” “Gain be
hanged!” cried a malicious Demo
crat; "it’s only some fellow went out,
to take a drink that has come back
again!"
When Henry Wilson iirst entered
the Senate he was made chairman of
the Committee on Military Affairs, of
which Davis was a member. When
Davis left the Senate iu tho winter of
1861, to lead In the rebellion, lie walk
ed across the chamber, and taking
his colleague warmly by the band,
said: "Wilson, youaud l'havealways
beon friends, I hope wo shall meet in
calmer days.” It should be added
that during Mr. Wilson’s recent
Southern tour he had a cordial meet
ing with the ex-Presldent of the
Southern Confederacy.

St. Loins, Nov. 20, 1875.
Wo spent lust night ten miles out
in tho country in order to ascertain
the condition and appearance of the
farming and rural interests of this,
| tho richest part of the West. Of
course wo huvo visited the great ele
vators, where thousands of bushels
of grain are hoisted up to lie letdown
into the deep wells, so to speak, that
are enclosed by theso vast buildings,
known as elevators. They are situ
ated immediately on the river, and
the railway runs underneath, so as to
unload freights Into the elevators.
Above us, and far to the right, is tlie
huge bridge that spans the Missis
sippi; a standing evidence of the en
gineering skill of Captain Eads, the
greatest of cotemporary American
Engineers. The airs come over at
the same time with vehicles and pe
destriuns, tiie roadways being above
and below. This is the finest bridge
in America. Wo have seen Shaw’s
Garden, the most exquisite little park
and garden in the Great West, if not
in the Union. The finest stock-yards
in tho Union are here, and pork
packing is an immense business. St
Louis is now the true Porkojiolis. The
Cotton compress we did Tiot have
time to visit. We have seen the great
iron manufacturing establishments;
and the immense wholesale estab
lishments, that vie with those of any
e.it.y in tin* United States. Asa sam
ple of "the business done here 1 will
mention that of one iron or hardware
house: In tho past six months their
sales of inferior iron, implements,
Ike., worth from four to six cents per
pound, liavo amounted to s2so,(Wo
und trade is increasing very fast.
Merchants, in every department of
business, inform us that trade is an
nually increasing, collections good,
and themselves prosperous, in spite
of hard times. Real estate, however,
can not be sold except at a great sac
rifice. If tiie Texas tk Pacific Road
is built, it will devclopo a large trade
with Mexico, as the Union and Cen
tral Pacific Roads developed an im
mense trade between St:. Louis and
Han Francisco.
A negro man stopped me on the
street with the question, “You aint
got air five cents about you to spare,
have you?” No, wo replied; how
much are you making a day ? “Oh,
wages is dull now; I only git four
bits a day in Illinois and eighteen
dollars in the country in Missouri.”
We siient lust, night at a farm worth
$40,000 and consisting of two hundred
acres. Only one man was employed
on tho farm, his wages being $25 per
month and his board. Hales of short
horn cattle in past year $3,200 and of
hogs SI2OO, both cattle and hogs be
ing thoroughbreds. This year’s tim
othy hay crop is one hundred tons.
Nearly every acre on this farm is in
grass one hundred acres in blue
grass—which sustained last summer
during.the dry season 150 head cattle
and horses two months. Blue grass
is to this farm what broom straw is
to most of our plantations—coming
up wherever nothing is planted. The
weeds have to bo mowed once a year
until tho blue grass gets firmly sod
ded. No rain for past three months.
Macadamized roads the whole ten
miles. Immense stacks of timothy
hay everywhere seen, and about iso
wagons had to remain in the city last
night, unable to sell tliolr fine timo
thy hay at (50c. per 100 pounds. There
to the right is a two-story residence,
with ample out-houses and orchards.
The owner bought this place of thirty
acres, eight miles from the Court
House in St. Louis, five years ago,
and from tho profits of his truck farm
lias supported his family and built
those handsome improvements.
Nearly opposite is another farm of
thirty acres, adorned with a liner res
idence. This farm lias been leaned
for a term of years, and those costly
improvements built by the tenant go
to the owner at the expiration of the
lease. Tho proprietor owns one thou
sand acres, and that tenant farmer
nets more money from his thirty
acres than tho owner does from the
remaining 070 acres.
Taxes are high, and every farmer
feels the burden of the school tax
heavily. • At tho public school nearest
to this farm, where we passed the
night, there are only three English
speaking children, but this farmer
has to pay his pro rata part of the
expense of educating these little chil
dren of the foreign born population.
Tho owner of this $40,000 farm lias
only one servant; his wife cooks for
the family, and prefers it to hiring
Northern servants. People here look
strong and robust. Diseases origina
ting in malaria are more fatal and
more characteristic of the climate
than tubercular affections or con
sumption. Tho air is cold, crisp, dry
and bracing, but very variable-the
thermometer sometimes dropping
from 80 deg. to '2O deg. in twenty-four
hours. People have to guard against
this climatic treachery by the use of
warm clothing. There are very few
beggars seen here, owing to the laws
against vagrants and “tramps.” A
street car will carry you ten miles
and never leave the city. Street la
borers receive $1 75 per day.
Tlie city river front extends twenty
miles. Altogether, in all branches of
business and industry, tlie people
here seem to have more money, at
less rates of interest and less risk of
losing it. than in the North, East, or
South. Thirty days’ time is the long
est commercial credit given inordi
nary cases. The cash system may be
said to prevail. F. F.
The contemplated resignation of
Mr. Ward Huut as First Lord of the
British Admiralty and appointment
in his place of Lord Charles Lennox
are calculated to promote the inter
ests of Mr. Disraeli's Ministry. This
change of management may’ inspire
greater confidence in tho navy, and
break the force of the attacks which
are inevitable when Parliament reas
sembles.
Some men noted for means are also
noted for their meanness.

PI BUC OPINION.
Tho third term issue is dead beyond
resuscitation, and there is little pleas
ure to l>e derived in sniffing around
the dead eurcass. —Newbtirg Journal,
Rep.
This winter wo shall see tho Demo
cracy in Congress take no step toward
a solution or the currency question
on the already determined basis of
honest money. Philadelphia Press,
Rep.
The attempt to inuke voters for or
against either Kerr or Randall on
either one side or the otherof the cur
rency question is not honest. As
there is no difference among the Dem
ocratic candidates for Hpeaker of the
House on this subject, it might as
well be dropped at tiie stage of the
contest.—Harrisburg Patriot, Dem.
The talk of a nomination of Presi
dent Grant for a third term is asurn
ingafar more serious tone than it
lias ever before had. The agitation
of tiie last two years, whether found
oil on common sense or not lias famil
iarized the people with the snbject,
and the first shock of repugnance at
tiie idea appears to have passed away.
Boston Globe, lud.
Let every tnun who lias aided or
abetted the plunderers of the Stale
be brought to justice and punished.
That is what this fight against cor
ruption mentis. Every rogue who
thinks to escape by parading himself
as a friend of Tilden or by hiding
under the wings of the Republican
party will be brought to the block
before the winter ends.--Utica Ob
server, Dem.
It will be one of the paramount du
ties of the next Legislature to furnish
protection for our public sohools from
all sectarian assaults by making the
support of them by the whole and un
divided people obligators. It will
not fail to do this, or at least shelter
them from assault. It cannot unless
it proves recreant to its trust. Au
burn Advertiser, Rep.
•♦ .
It seems that Gov. Smith and his
friends think that all ho lias to do to
be Governor or Henator either is for
him just to say that, he “rather thinks
he will.” Now, it is our own opinion
that Gov. Smith would bo very glad
to be either, but when it. comes to a
race between him and Gen. Colquitt
for Governor, or between him and
such a man ns Norwood for Senator,
Ills friends will be as “seldom” as
Mexican dollars in this section of tho
State. Our people don’t want a man
in office who promises to do one
thing before iiis election, and then
after he gets into power, goes and
does another. It is customary and a
well known fact in political circles
all over the State that in tho guber
natorial contest tiie people are influ
enced to a very great extent by the
promises of candidates to make such
appointments, in ease of their elec
tion, as the people most desire in of
fices of a local character, but in this
tiie people of Rrooks and many other
counties that, we could name, liavo
been sadly sold out by Mr. Smith.
Immediately after he went into office
a iiowi was set up from different
parts of the State, where it was
charged that Gov. Smith had posi
tively promised the people of con
tending counties for Judgeships, etc.,
that he would appoint the choice of
the county giving him the best ma
jority, for it seemed that lie came
nearer doing what he said he wouldn’t
do than lie aid to what he promised
he would do. All this our people have
not forgotten, and they waut to elect
a man who has tiie firmness to say a
thing and stick to it. Quitman Re
