one may have "reasons as plenty as blac berries,

with all the world, and the crops of all kinds
bountfully abundant. New banks are constantly
going into operation, each adding something 10
the Circulating medium and yet they tell us in
Wall street that money is becoming scarcer and
scarcer, the banks tighter and tighter, and the
merchants shorter and shorter The protectionist
attributes the calamity TO 'over trading"-the
ree-trader to a concerted movement on the part
of the banks to check importations by Withholding
discounts.
II Is said that the officers of the New York banks,
at the call of the Bank of Commerce, have held a
private mass meeting for the purpose of adopting
to regulate trade; TO arrest the outflow OF
specie and bring the importers to their bearings.
Now, as the banks are governed, as well as indl-
viduals, by the primal law of selishness, it s idle
to suppose that they refuse to loan money when
they flush
II is for their interest TO lend all they can, with
safety to themselves; and when they refuse to buy
paper, il may be taken for granted that they are
actually short, very much afraid they shall be.
The real clause Of the present uncomfortable
state of things is want of confidence, rather than
want of money. A single "heavy failure is
enough to Brighten all the capitalists Of the city,
and every man begins to look upon his neighbor
with distrust. Yesterday he would have gladly
loaned you $4,000, but to- day he has heard
of the failure of carpet manufacturer, and he
chooses to keep his funds locked up in the vaults of
the bank. And SO the panic spreads; single peb

dence of the mercantile community is shaken to
the centre.
A couple of New Jersey banks burst up, and all
banks bills are regarded with suspicion. The bro
kers are afraid to buy them, and merchants are
afraid to take them All these things contribute to
make what is called eight times" The only
remedy we know of is time. The storm will not
always last. The commissions of the commercial
world like those of the natusal, have their times

Southern Population.

! The full census returns of the population O.
South Carolina are published in the Charleston
papers. There are in the State 273, 1877 free per-
sons and 384, 720 slaves Total-668, ,457. In
1910, the population was-free, 266 sos: slaves
327,93 Total-594, 439.
The population of Charleston is 43,O14. In
| 1910 it was 40, 139.
These totals show that the increase of the State
within ten years has been 74,618, or more than
twelve per cent.
The Charleston Mercury has some interesting
facts, which we copy below.
Four of the New England States, tit says) viz
New Hampshire, Massachusetts,, Rhode Island
and Connecticut were of the original thirteen, who
framed the Confederacy. The area of these four
States is 90, II square miles, and their aggregate
population at the first census of 1890, was 827,-
867. Their aggregate population by the census OF
1850 is 1881, ,234 The increase is little less
than 122 per cent. in the sixty years.
The area of South Carolina is a. 900 square
miles, or nearly the same as the aggregate of the
four New England States. Her population by the
census of 1890 was ,O73. By the census of
1850 it is $685. 557, the increase being little more
than 168 per cent. Those who wish to try conclu-
sons to comparative influence of free and slave
institutions the advancement of population,
would do well to solve this problem of an increase
in South Carolina during sixty years amounting to
1853 per cent while the four model States of Free
soildom Only show an increase in the same time of
122 per cent.
And this census is especially favorable to New
England for three reasons Boston having been
during nearly the whole ten yearsthe terminus of
the British line of steamships, received constant
tide of emigrants. The Manufacturers during
the same time have been Systematically substitu-
ting foreign in place of native labor in their mills
And, lastly, New England has been covered during
the same period with network of Railroads, near
ly the whole labor of which has been done by for
eigners. The returns show, as the result of these
causes, that in the City of Boston the foreign
population is 10000, and in. the State of Mas
sachusetts, it amounts to near two-ffths of the
whole.
Such causes have operated in but a very slight
degree at the South. Our internal improvements
and our manufacturing establishments, are carried
on mainly by the native population, and we are
entirely out of the way of the current of European
emigration.

remedies that the South possesses for resisting the
aggressions of the North, remarks that
s'The north is now aware that the Southern
States possess, in the power to tax all property
within their limits, constitutional and efectual
means of retaliation for all aggressions upon their
peculiar, institutions. A Southern tax of 80 per
cent on all Northern products would close every
factory in New England in twelve month. In
deed if much longer goaded by the insuferable
and insolent intermeddling of the Abolition fanat
les, we should not be surprised to see effort on
the part of the Southern States to exclude by direct
taxes on consumption, every product of Northern
growth and manufacture. By this policy the
South would soon transfer the manufacturing in
dustry, mechanical Skill and capital of the North
The power exists, and we owe it to the forbear
ance of the Southern people that it has not beer

zeal displayed by Gov. Quitman, in the cause of

EXTRAORDINARY BIRTHs.-The wife of Mr..

has within three weeks given birth to four chill

The feeundity of the mother, marvellous as it is,
is not extraordinary as the circumstances of the
parturition. Three weeks ago, yesterday, she was
delivered of three of the children, and yesterday
morning, at two o'clock, she gave birth to the
fourth. A number of physicians visited the house
yesterday, and believe it is acknowledged that
medical history does not furnish another such in

and wife are natives of Switzerland She is in a

Stael once asked Napolean, it is said, who he
sidered the best woman? The little corporal, who
had no love for the lady who interrogated him. and
who never gave birth to an heir of her fame or ge-
MUS, told her that the best woman was she who
raised the most children. Taking this political
view of female excellence, the city owes Mrs. Da-

The London Times in a recent number thus de-
scbes what is to be the result of the Union to the
South, if it go on as it has been going. For our
our own part we believe the picture is as true as
gospel:
F'Savery is but question of time. 1t is scarce
ly possible to conceive that hundred years hence
there will be one slave in the United States, not
to say in the whole continent of America. The
slave owners see the ramparts rising the trenches
opened, the communications established, and the
blockade closing round them, that is one day to
reduce them to unconditional surrender. We doubt
not for an instant that children, or our chill
dren's children, will see the chains drop in one
hour from the limbs of three million slaves. The
Fugitive Slave Bill is only last legislative effort
against that which is more powerful than Legisla-
tures-the progress of human affairs. Every
acre added to the territory of the Union, every
free born child added to its population and every
immigrant that lands its shores, is another
weight to the scale of abolition. Then why, ex-
cept because they are demented and doomed, dc
the slave owners take no steps whatever to prepare
for the great day of reckoning? Why do they
assume the perpetual stability of an institution al
variance with the whole tenor and course of mod
ern civilization ? We do not hesitate to advise
them to set their house in order. If it is harder
to do so now than it was seventy years back, in
stead of being easier, as the great statesmen o.
that day hoped and expected-if time has hitherto
aggravated rather than removed the enormous diff
fcultes of the question, what will be the case thirty
years hence, when perhaps there must and will be
abolition without either the slave or his master
being prepared for the change? The choice lie:
between gradual and sudden abolition and it is fol
the slave States themselves to choose which of these
two they will have-for one they must
