On..* ijtJPBPAY DECEMBER 11. 1875 53555855 Thk weather at Columbus Is so balmy that lino largo strawberries are ripening In the open air, to matoes are still coming to market, and the trees In Broad street are bud ding.—Exchange. Thk present number ofßenators is 73, owing to the vacancy that bayo net reconstruction maintains from Louisiana. Of tbia number the Dem ocrats now have 29, against 19 in the Forty-Third Congress. A further gain of nine in the next two years would revolutionise this important body. The New York World says : ‘‘Those who are Interested lathe promotion of virtue by enactment will be pleased to learn that the anti-usury laws In New York are moro stringent than they are In any other States in the Union, and that there is more usurious Interest extorted Under thorn.” Tfcep. why nboald objecitou bo made to the usury laws? i- "■!. i ■■ 0 a— —— Oke eauso of our |jvurty : Mr. Daniel Dennett, of New Orleans, has written an article for the Times tiews paier of that place, giving good and sufficient reasons why Louisiana Is poor and the Crescent City unthrifty. He shows that not one acre In ten of the soil of the State is in cultivation, and not one acre in ten of the richest lands. Almost exclusively upon agri culture the people depend for pros perity, and yet not one in seven fol lows the plow oy works the hoe. Ho shows, too, that out of a population of 720,0ut, In 1870, the enormous and startling proporl lon of 000,000 are non producers. And this is true of ull thoKoutherti States. rust? The Hhartte (Texas) Enterprise thus uncovers the designs or wishes of Texans with regard to the Mexican in the Hernia of the 24th ult. He favors a change of boundary, and says tho Hierro Madro must bo the barrier between us aud our unreli able n<’lghlors, and tho mountain passes' dan ettslfy tie guarded aud de predations stopped. Wo must follow tho mountain lino through tho States of Tamaulipas, Nuevo Loon, Chihua hua aed Ooh*hu£hi. and probably jui rough Hgrfont ni Lo#or Califor nia. fhimil gli# ut> a strip of iflne eObotty about orfe-third thesiife of the State of Texas, including valua ble mining privileges, which will pay for any expenses the Mexicans may by their lawless and hostile course impose upon us. The Government euA We! 1 afford to pay a fair va)uation, ami riieiiilnd this a cheaper Solution than her present course. We trust stmtlar views will be urged In Con grass and meet Its approval. Thk Union Springs Herald thus describes the results accomplished , Ijy the Grangers of Baritour oouBty: For the present we will content ourselves with a short account of the doings of the Grangers in Barbour county. Before tho Patrons in Bar bour county started a Grange Ware house in Eufaula. the price of hand ling cotton WMB UK per bate. Now it Is only 760. per bale. Eufaula will receive that season upwards of 40,000 bales. Thel’atrobs. by their action, have therefore saved to the farmers sending cotton fe> Eufaula this season $20,000 In the handling of cotton alone. They havo reduced the price of tics for bailinngaotton from So. to sje. l>er l>oun<l. a alflrerenoo of 30c. per halo, which results in a saving of $12,000. They hw , Mf<*eßfc>eted a reduction in tne price of salt that savos $7,200 -mak ing, in thftseithree items, a total sav ing, to those who trade in the oitv of Eufaula, of. $39,200. The prices of wagons have been reduced $45 each. If the efforts.of the Patrons should step here, and nothing more be done, except to maintain the advantages gained, the Order will have proved a groat blessing. In ten years there Will boiti the pockets of those tmd fog in Enfatlla the sum of at least $400, 00*1, through their instrumental ity. The Order now numbers, in the Uunited States, 1,400,000 members. - !-• An Upland? in Ornnt’s Career. When he was General ofthe Army, Immediately after the war, ho visited Canada. At that time Lord Mpnck mllos dlstaut from Quebec, It was announced to General Grant, at his a&a ssnsfisrm %’T. pertain hour next day. Lord Monek desired to observe the usual ceremon v, and therefore, at the appointed hour, sent two aides-de-camp In advance to announce his approach. A fmv minutes later he entered Grant’s room, preceded by two other officers, himself clad in full uniform. At this nioment Grant was seated in earnest conversation with a horse dealer of fame In Quebec. The horse dealer was entertaining him with a disquisition on the off-hlnd fetlock of a favorite mare. As the Goveruor- Oeneral apjWoaehed and saluted him. Grant, just lifting his eyelids, but not rising, put out his Tight hand and said, “Hoy dy do.” And then he went on talking about the mare. - Exchange. Getting vs Invitation.— lt is rela ted of a clergyman who had traveled some distance to preach, that at the conclusion of the morning servtoe, bp waited for someone to invite him to dinner. One by cute, however, the congregation departed without notic ing him. Finally, when nearly all had gone, he f aJfcjSd up to an olderlv gentleman and gravely said: "Will you go home and dine with me to day, brother ?" “Where do you live?” “About twenty 111 Hen away, sir." “No," said the man, coloring deeply, “but yon must go with me." .This the minister did cheerfully. Editorial Politeness.—An editor thus advertises his in teeing bat. The'gentlefnan Wh6 inadvertently took our new beaver emd left an infe rior article lb its sttwA/ will do us an infinite kindness by returning our own hat. and h snail receive oar warmest thanks and two apologies t an apology for the trouble wo nave given Aim, and the “apology” for a e left us. ***-Triin tv* k . fr Wo confess the f|itlook is not Cheeringppriccß will have to Wimble stlfl lower, fok*‘tbat mysterious prin ciple Jo trade, so nteegs tin to its healthful operation, walled oouti dence, Is destroyed.” Tho civilized world has been affected seriously by the panic, which convulsed thp United States in 1873. The failure Hi Urrotrt mltany "twt**rpwwl 'tit# tiff in Wteo pbwer of the foer lndfvtduala who, by locking Up SJ(i,nOO,OnO untimt memorable “black Friday,” demon strated the weakness and the cor ruption incident to our lluanciul py|. tem; the failure of banks—comttief clal houses—stopjiago of mills; full of property and steady docline in cotton. All these evils combined to destroy confidence. Confidence, will have to he restored before the. world will emerge from Uiis chaotic condition. In another twelvemonth tho finan cial status of individuals tyili prob ably be made manifest. The conduct of lien In this, the dark period—"the hour wbioh tries then’s smi9”-will determine t)io future, of those men. If they so act,that tho confidence of the eowtfinunrty In which they dwell Is forfeited,*lllo/ may as well, like the Arab, "fold their tents and steul silently away.” And he, tho cred itor, who forgets the instinct of char ity—who in saying “charity begins at home,” forgets that it does not end there, will be iu no wise happier than the delinquent debtor. Huppiest will be 110 who does as nearly as pos sible btoduty; every community will sustain the man who dees the best he can. Before things reaoh their level, we must realize tho necessity for each individual to do his -yea -her part. We believe there are a hun dred women In our city who were rear ed in luxury, that are anxious to work and earn their support if work could be obtained. TFe muxt provide work for them. Every child should pc made to realize, too, that he is to earn his bread, and he should be taught this lesson before the doors of the college or university are opened to him. The journeyman and the laborer must realize that “the labor er Is worthy of his hire,” but that bis wages will not be enough to sup port three or four members of his family who live In idleness. The most stringent vagrant laws should beenacted.and public opinion should see that they are enforced. These are grim taots, but we may as pell look them squarely In the face. -a.— f : " %+; - Tlt* Ad tire** of Mr. Lamar. Tho address of Mr. Lamar, of Mia* jifeUyi, to tho caucus of Democratic members of the House of Represent atives, may most properly be regard ed as a most eloquent and condensed exposition of the views and purposes of the Democracy. The New Orleans Bulletin, in referring to Mr. Lamar’s speech, likens it, to tho “bugle pote which calls patriots to tho field on the dawn of the day of conflict.” The speech,is notloeable ulso for its com mittal of the party to harmony with tho changed state of affairs which hua occurred since tho Democratic overthrow twenty years ago. Such sentiments coming from a Southern man canuot fail to waken the appre hension which pervades tho entire North as to the influence of Southern members. The Democracy is com mitted to reform. Before It, as the New York Herald observes, stands up a “sheaf of new grievances, all sowed, ripened and reaped within a deoade und a half—grievances that are doep on ough to wound tho Cdn stitutiou perilously near to death, that disturb the tlnauees, poisou the currency, stagnate trade, make offi cial honesty a rarity, sully the er mine, Incapacitate Congress, and make the Executive a by-word and a scorn.” Never had any body such an opportunity to win Imperishable renown. Much has been promised and much is fn the power of the pres ent House to accomplish. We earnestly trust that Democratic members will not imagine the party will not be held responsible for mis takes of legislation, because of the fact of the Senate and Executive be ing in the bands of the Republicans. While the country realizes the diffi culty of bringing about reform, with a President and Senate who are op posed to all measures looking thereto, it at the sume time expects a Demo cratic Congress, upon its accession to power, to give such revelations as will make reform practicable and necessary. H IKE OUTLOOK FORTEX.U IMUPFIC THE FIRST UF,FEAT IN THE CHOICE OF THE SPAKKER— DISAFFECTION OF THE SOUTHERN MEMBERS. Washington, Dec. s.—The prospect of the Texas Pacific subsidy are just now a little darkened. Tho nomina tion of Mr. Kerr was in the nature of tin admouition to Tom Scott, but there are still graver obstacles iq the way, The leading Southerners de sire in the first place a really South ern line that shall have no direct con nection with Now-York and other Northern sea-board cities till after it crosses the Mississippi. They wish also that auy margin of profits on construction, growing out of the sub sidy, should fall into the hands of Southern men. Scott’s proposltion to form connections through the Imiiuu Territory with St. Louis will be op posed, aini there is a scheme to oust him entirely from the direction of the company. A quarrel of this kiud would be defeat to the subsidy. It was said some time ago that he (SeottJ designed to withdraw per sonally from the management of the affair before Congress, ami have it pushed by Southern men as a Southern measure. Careful com binations Will be required tohurmon izethe interests which are unfavorable to the enterprise. Tho agents of the road are here, however, and Lyuian Elmore, who figured the Pacific Mail lobby, is (Knitted out as a friend of the lexas Pacific. This is a sugges tive fact, Elmore is a skillful persua der of votes by only one uiet bod. and fn that he is said to be highly “skilled.’ Washington dispatch to N. Y, Times. Advice to Ladies.—Die old maids rather than marry drunkards. ** The Jti-Ki'O. 'Recent telegraphic reports Indicate that the IU) utlicof Liberia is about to succumb, und will cease to exist iLcivilized(buttons do not interfere In its betmlf. We are glad that the Uuiteil States Government will sepd a vessel to their uid, as the oirase of the LiberUihs is the cants of dif Hon. Northerners have not hcsUu ti*d to destroy *s3,ooo,into, ooo of mpl? tal by emancipating the negroes of tho Houth and prostrating ull of our industries. They were unlimited by the old political doctrine of Voltaire; "ie profit do l’un, cest !o domuiuge do lautre.” (Tho profit of one Broun 9 the loss of another.) But in aiding Liberia they will exhibit a practical philanthrophy uninfluenced by cor responding gain. The .experiment ofu Negro Republic will inevitably fail If the negroes are left to them selves to work out that destiny. Wi have fur greater ho|>es of the result to be achieved by the Khedive of Egypt, aided by English and Ameri can officers who command armies of disciplined troops provided with the most improved arms. War is the greatest civilizer in Africa; a war between civilization and barbarism. But, tho eyes of the world arc turned toward Liberia as the only hope of a peaceful solution, aud upou the issue of thut solution will depend the late of Equatorial Africa. The Liv erpool Post uwuy btok in 1837 ex pressed these opinions: AN ENGLISH VIEW OF THE NEGRO. There are twenty times as many “niggers” in Africa us in all the West India Islands and on the Amer ican continent, and live buulireci fold worse. They are the most misera ble of human beiosrs—the most de graded of men. They have always been so: the sun for six thousand years, at least, bus looked down upon und found them not only “black and curly,” out the most debused of slaves. It was not tint white man who did tills—the black man was the tyrant. A transfer to the white man was bliss; bondage remained—hut how different from chains imposed on them on their native soil und their original dwelling place. The Post again asks, “I# t here uny ho|e for the future,” which it answers, “not if tilings are allowed to remain as they are. The aptitude of the negro for civilization presents only individ ual examples; the mass havo been savage. They are now savages in Af rica. There is no use in questioning the fact it is t rue. Brought withiu the control and influence of the white man, it might be different would be different; but ordinary means will never overcome obsta cles to the exercise of that influence. Released from the presence of civ ilization, the negro will relapse into the barbarism of his nine.” It is in tile Southern States that the destiny of the whole negro race is to be solved. If they realize their de pondence-upon the whites, and de termine to unite cordiully with the Southern whites and abolish the “color line’Mn polities by voting with the people whose prosperity or pov erty is inevitably linked with theirs, all will be well. As soon as noME rule is establlsed und peoplo "to the manor born” are selected to govern Southern States, political “carpet baggers” will retire and leave south ern people blacks as well as whites -to develop the industries of the country by working together in har mony, and voting so as to promote that desirable result, There is no good reason why there should beany “color line” in politics, since to fight each other only hurts both sides and only promotes the interests of indi viduals who feel no interest in the future of the negro or ofthe white people of the South. Let the negroes reflect upon tho hlstoy of every political ad venturer who jolued tho Radical party to obtain office, and they will see that the carpet-bagger returns to the North as soon as his term of office expires or when he robs our people, like Bullock did, suffi ciently to supply his wants through life. As au evidence of the shallow ness of the claims of the Radical par ty, that the war was fought iu order to free tho negro, we insert the follow ing which was written In Junuury 1858: THE INSITItTION OF AFRICAN TI.AVEV ANUdUBIJO OPINION. The Washington Corespondent of the New York Express lias the fol lowing significant paragraph! It is easy to see from a brief resi dence here, that there is gradually becoming anew modification of views upou the subject of slavery. What lias led to it 111 part, is the change of opinion in France and England and in the latter Government from a disposition to (leople the distant French population with African emi grants. iu order to secure lubores, which isa positive revival of the slave trade, aud iu the British Govern ment from a growing conviction tiiat the crop of cotton, sugar, rice and other tropical products, wouuld fail, if there was anything like a reliance il|x>n free blacks to produce them. Here it is said that practically all ex periments of growing cotton success fully and profitably out of the United States has failed, and tiiat. us not more tliun 80(1000 negroesure engaged iu this branch of agriculture, which could be performed by no other class of persons, the system must not only go on, but Mud increasing favor with tiie manufacturers and commercial men of the North. It is no uncommon thing now to hear Northern bus iness men take up this view of the cose, and express it with uuusual boldness. A lull volition. The people of Georgia desire a con vention to remodel our State consti tution. They want a convention to strike from that constitution all the obnoxious features engrafted by Re publican rule, they wantour terms of office shortened, they waut our Officers paid their salaries iu the cur rency of the country such as they are l>atd in, they want a less number of offices and of Officers, they want the Senate branch of the Legislature übulisluiji and biennial session of the body ttMtxperuedo these annual ses sions.
