another link in the great iron chain Of compro
mise and submission. The fifteen Southern States
would be there, in league with a few of the more
conservative Northern States, and the South
might make her own amendments to the Consti

and plain provisions to protect our institutions
The Constitution, handed down by our fathers
recognizes slaves as legal property, provides fol
the restoration of fugitive slaves, and permits
slavery to 90 into all the common territory Of
the country. Have these provisions been car.

members of the confederacy? They have not
What more could National Convention now say
or do? Nothing. They could not make the

were to frame her own amendment, and it should
pass, she would have to accept it as the final set

or no doubtof its passing under the present pres

Convention would dissolve in apparent good hu-
NOR. The South would return home to nod over
the. brilliant prospect of restored peace and e.
quail rights; while the North would retire laugh

of tickling her ears with straw again.

SANDED COTTON.

| Various complaints from abroad, and one es-
pecially from the New York Chamber of Com
merce, have recently reached the South, on the
subject of fraudulently packed and sandy cotton.
If these complaints were just, they come with
bad grace from those who have been palming
off wooden nutmegs' and Yankee nostrums'
upon US all the days of our existence. But the
complaint, at least, of fraudulence in packing, i
uncalled for We recollect IN anecdote of an
old Carolina planter, who slowed away in the
middle of cotton-bag, an unserviceable grind
stone, which was5afterwards returned to him in
barrel Of sugar. But such cases are of rare
occurrence :; and, if the same vigilance that de-
tected the grindstone was always exercised by
by factors and buyers, there would be fewer STILL
We can readily account for the trash and sand
of all the cotton that goes to market. A whole
sale business is made of selling by the agent of
the planter. The manufacturer, or his agent,
buys hundreds, perhaps thousands of bales,
good, bad and Indifferent, all at once and at an
equazed valuation. Thus the planter who
prepares his crop carefully for market is not re-
paid for his trouble by the enhanced value Of
his cotton over that: of his neighbor, who picks
and packs hurriedly and negligently. His cotton
should be worth twelve cents, and his neighbor's 8
only ten; but the factor sells the two lots to-
geher at eleven cents. A duty is thus levied
on good cotton, in favor of bad cotton. The
consequence is, our planters adopt the hasty and
negligent mode of gathering, ginning and pack
ing, as the speediest way of making money.
Yet it is the interest of our planters, as body,
to prepare every lock of cotton we'll. This is
the criterion by which we are judged abroad, as
an honest, tasty and well-to-do people. five
impair the real value of our great staple pro-
duction, by mixture of trash and sand and by
uappy ginning, we certainly will diminish its
exchaugeable valuein market. This may be q
small loss to each individual planter; but it is
permanent one, because it is the loss of reputa-
ton, and in the aggregate will amount to millions.
Besides this monied loss our honor is at stake !;
and our sectional pride should be enlisted to give
to the world our cotton in the best possible
condition.
We give below some curious statistics from

HUNGARY.

The Protestant population of Hungary is three
million out of eight million inhabitants. The
Protestant Church enjoys, or should enjoy, GER
tain privileges guarded by treaties entered upon
more than two centuries ago with the guarantee
of the great Protestant powers of Europe. The
Austrian Government, on the lst of September
last, so modified the ancient Protestant constitu-
ton as to seriously affect their Independence
1t withdrew the right of veto from the King, and
gave the right of absolute sanction to the gov
ernment. 1t also deprived the Protestants of
the privilege of managing their schools.
These measures have created great dissatisfac.
tion among the synods, which have protested a
gainst them in vain. The government forbade
them to meet; and requires the synods, which may
hereafter meet, to assent to the arbitrary violation
ofthe ancientaws before they are allowed to give
their opinion of the new regulations. So much
for the religious state Of Hungary.
In politics she is in no better condition. All
parties arc merged in one for the restoration of
the political constitution, which was suspended
in 1949 twenty-five magnates have declared
to NJ. de HUBNER, the minister of Police, that no
reform is possible unless this is done, and Aus
tria ceases her attempts to Germanize Hungary
and absorb the Magyar nationality. But Aus
tria is too sullen and dectatora to listen to these
reasonable and just claims.
These are the measures which are troubling
the consciences and the patriotism of the Hun
garians. Let Hungary have her language and
her institutions once more; let the press be free
let the national jury and representation be plan
ned on principle and equality and let Austria
keep her fingers out of the pic. Then peace.

ANDREW JACKSON.

Our readers will find on the outside, some very
readable extracts from the first volume Of PAR
TONS life of ANDREW JACKSON. They show to
us the wild, wilful, invincible odd Hickory in
his younger days, in the lucid style of graphic
and truly entertaining biographer. We see here,
in the gangling school-boy who would not stay
throwed,' that unbending will which, in after
years, led him to invade Florida-then Spanish
terr;sory-in pursuit of the Seminoles ,oand lay
siege to Pensacola, when the Government was
hesitating to take upon itself such heavy re-
sponsibilty. The same self-willed invincibility
that overthrew the United States Bank, and
raised such storm against South Carolina du-
ring the days of nullifcation, is seen in the
swearing, slashing, wicked Andy, at the old field
school, Turn to the extracts, reader, and laugh
over the excentric, gusty hard. headed STRIPPING,
and see how the blood of veritable hero boiled
and bounded in his veins.
Just here we must say, that we think it highly
improbable that JACKSON was ever student in
DR.. Waddell's school. The traditions of this
region, where his name is familiar household
word, are to the contrary. According to these,
be was pupil under Rev. Dr.. Alexander, of
the Bethel school, ten miles above Yorkville. We
cannot forbear relating an anecdote, strongly il
Illustrative of his general character, which occur
red while he was at that place. He boarded with
the Doctor. As Mrs. W.lsoassye,-h feadnese
for corn and beans and, we add, eatables in
general, was decidedly famous. So he often
grew weary of the Doctors grace, which was
quite lengthy, when his impatient appetite was
eager to settle the hash with the many good
things on the table before him. Well. beef was
killed one morning, and Andy, with his teacher
was present at the butchery. Says he to the
Doctor, when the beef was skinned :-"Now,
Doctor to save time and trouble, suppose you
say grace over the whole beef at once and be
done with it.''
Verify, that was his way of doing everything
throughout life. He never stood on ceremonies.
AS General and President, as we'll as school
boy, he wanted grace to be said over the whole
beef at once. His head was impetuous, and his
heart went with it. From head to foot, he was
all over thorough going thunder. storm.

Chattanooga Adyertiser, 18Th
1900. We learn from the Selma Gala }
Reporter, that Mr.. Henry, of Mobile, has
recently patented two inventions, which, it
seems to us, must be of immense value to
cotton growers in the Southern States. The
first of these is sort of drying closet, con-
sisting of series of metal drawers, into
which artificial heat is forced through a
series of tubes. Heretofore the planters
have lost, say about one-third of their time
during the cotton picking season, in conse,
quence of rains, which almost invariably
fall at that period, and their hands being
unable to pick the cotton fast enough, much
is blown out, or if picked while damp, they
are compelled to gin it, much to its injury
or, worst of all, to gather it, bolls, steus
and leaf together, making a very inferior
quality of cotton, when passed through the
gin. By this invention, however, the cot,
ton is thoroughly dried, no matter how
damp; the planter keeps up with his crop,
and saves it all in good condition. The sec
ond invention is sort of crushing mill, by
which all the cotton seed, now almost nui
sance, is converted into a valuable food fol
cattle, and an oil of great Importance fol
various uses is produced. Besides these
the hulls, watch constitute about half the
weight of the seed, are found to be an &C
tive and powerful manure. The value Of
the oil from the seed of the American CROP
is estimatedt to be equal to 50, 100000 bush
els or corn, which at present prices of corn.
would be worth SIS, 100000.
