WII.UIM. t 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 sohools—Joe Brown’s great patent anti-plethorie reduction process—A plate of soup and a Columbus “sweat box” no boy should be without it. 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. KIHTURI.iI. ('WKHEMI'OX'I)F.M:K. 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. THE TIMES: TUESDAY MORNING, .NOVEMiUui to id. 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 porter. Springer’s Opern House!
