Washington letters and dispatches:
HOW THE PRESIDENT FELT ABOUT THE
ELECTION.
When Mr.. johnson heard the news
from New Jersey he clapped MS hands and
exclaimed, "Good, good Secretary Sew
ard and his friends are highly elated over
the success in New Jersey.
A FOOLISH BET LOST n PAID.
A clerk h was foolish enough to bet
that if Ward was elected Governor of
New Jersey, he would not receive five
hundred majority, tpaid his wager this
afternoon by wheeling the winner on a
wheelbarrow along Pennsylvania avenue.
from the Treasury to the Capitol, escorted
By a jeering crowd.
A CHANGEINTH ADMINISTRATION POLICY
The careful observer of the phenomena
on the political horizon during the last
month will have noticed a peculiar, mark
ed reaction of public opinion upon the
Executive and Eice versa. Before the DC
tober elections, all but universal distrust
of the President and m~isgiving as to the
workings of his reconstruction policy, pre-
vailed among the loyal public. This graf
flying result did not only reassure every
loyal heart, but also convey to the ears of
the President the true political tone of the
party that elected him. And that this
decided indication of popular sentiment
had a beneficial influence upon him, on
the one hand appears evident. For,
while in August and September all his
speeches and actions tended in the direc-
ton of absolute unqualified opposition to
negro suffrage, public expro5siOno have
lately been made by him indicating a will
lingnRss IN admit the negro IN political
rights upon certain conditions and under
certain restrictions. And these express
sions on the other hand, have raised the |
hopes Of the loyal public and re-
animated it with the belief that the Pres
ident after all is not so desperate a case as
he was supposed to be; that he will not
go over to the bogus Democracy, but re-
main true to those that elected him to his
exalted position, and that matters NAV vet
work right.
Whether there are well founded reasons
for this belief; whether there is really
now more promise held out by the Presi-
dent to the progressive party of the coun-
try than heretofore, 1 will not undertake
to determine. But the existence of this
belief is unquestionable-at least, if those
unfailing induces of popular feel
ing-the politicians can be relied on. All
leading men that have lately visited
Washington, reflect it in their converse
And the public opinion of Wash
ngton being but a reflection of that of
at large, it is but natural, that
much more confidence in the future is felt
lere atthis time than a month ago. While

Net $50, Coz
From the rich result the planter would
of course have still to deduct the amount
paid for the lease of his plantation or the
interest on the capital he had invested in
its purchase. Capitalists who think such
exhibits and estimates healthy, will want
answers to three questions: l. Can lands
be had at reasonable rates? 2. Can labor
be obtained with certainty 3. Is the
state of the country such as to make in
vestments safe
l. From the surrender of Lees army
down to midsummer, the best cotton lands
could be got at from ten to twelve dollars
an acre by anybody who had the cash
to pay. Sugar lands were not so much
in the market, and were held at much
higher rates. Since midsummer the
prices have advanced some what but
st is the opinion of all whom l meet
from the South, that for ayear or two vet,
the best cotton lands will still rule very
low. l knew in August of a plantation
of over 1900 acres in the midst of a splen-
did cotton growing region, which was
oHered Tor S5U, UOUf TIM Uwner wanted
to go to Brazil. The house in which he
lived had itself cost him over $40, OOOI
Large numbers of planters wish to retain
their lands, but being unable to stock and
operate them, are being sore pressed for
cash, they wish to lease for a termo of wears.
1t is noticeable, however, that leases are
much higher, in proportion, than are &C
tual sales.
2. It is not certain that Southern men
can at the outset depend upon free negro
labor. They don't believe in (which is
much in running any machine - and
which is mOre) the negroes don't believe
in them. But the negroes do believe in
the Yankees, and any Northern man who
will treat them fairly may safely rely on
an abundant supply of labor. Indeed, |
Southerners themselves, wherever they
lave given the free labor system an hon
est trial, have made it a success. l have
before me a letter from a late STAKEHOLDER,
who was among the first to abandon
and who, in the three years in
which he has paid wages to the negroes on
MS large plantation, has made over two
hundred thousand dollars net profits. He
l am satisfied in my own mind that one
American negro, of ordinary
Intelligence, is worth at least two white
migrants. He not only has the advan-
q ; e Of being acclimated, but he under
tands his business. l am therefore will
ng now to pay the negro one-third more
han the white. This may seem extrava-
amt, but you know what my experience
been.
But this is the experience of a slave
lolder, dealing with the freedmen whom
lie formerly owned. Wherever Northern
nen have eyinced a disposition to treat
he negro with common justice, they have
AIRED equally well.
g.. Whether investments in the South
re safe or not, depends very much, 1
lncy, upon the determination of the ques-
on which side whipped in the late war.
IN a memorable occasion recently, the
resident expressed his decided belief that
-e of the North had. If Congress agree
18th him, there is little danger Of trouble.

A VIndIcntlon OF treason.

The people of the South who sue for
executive clemency may be excused on the
score of necessity; but it is hard to frame
an apology fort government, claiming to
be just and m%agnanimous, which, IN the
absence of any necessity, can persist IN
demanding of a Frustrated, but brave ana
chivalrous people conditions so Degrading,
Would not n regard for decency NJ leas'
require that men should be tried ana con-
yicted of crime. before called upon to ask
for pardon Government in its strength
seems TO have forgotten that States and
individuals have their rights. Is Il gov
eminent under law, or above it, Does IT
derive all its just powers from the consent
of the governed, or is it a despotism out
right ?-Ptain 9ealer.
We doubt if any other journal, North
or South, has ever given utterance TO a
more out-spoken, i%nsolent and atrocious
vindication Of treason than is contained
in the above. Certainly, in the South,
the people are too much delighted at es-
Gaping the consequences of their guilt to
grumble at being obliged to sue for pardon.
1t is left to a newspaper published in the
loyal North, and in this hour of National
triumph and glory, to defend the rightful-
ness of subdued rebellion, and to utter
such miserable f~aafaronade as this talk
about degrading conditions" and tout
right despotism." According to this
champion of treason, there has been no re-
"
bellion in the country. 1t is all a mistake.
The people of the South are not a set of
traitors, dependent for life itself on Execu-
tive clemency, but a 'brave and chivalrous
people," whom the government is ode
grading" by %pardoning. Our government
is not a grand and triumphant one, terri
BILE in executing justice, yet swift to re-
member mercy, but a "despotism outright"
trampling upon State and individual
rights" and careless of the "consent of the
governed Andersonville and Salisbury
are myths, thestory of President Lincoln's
is an idle fancy, the blood and
loss and agony of the war exist only in
Imagination. Nobody has done anything
wrong,-nobody needs to be pardoned.
Is it possible, Mr.. Plain Dealer that
memory deceives us? We were real
under the impression that Lee surren-
Tered to Grant, not Grant to Lee, and
hat Andrew johnson, instead of Jefferson
Davis, is President of the reconstructed"
Union. Are we right or wrong?

1nls plantation contains 5000 acres, hut
less than 1000 were cultivated. 1t was
ravaged by guerEillas once, and the cotton
was nearly destroyed by the army worm.
In June of this yearI was over the planta-
ton, and the growing crops of cotton and
sugar were looking beautifully. Since
then, 1 have received a letter from the
proprietor, written after hs considered
both crops out Of danger. Counting
his cotton at only fifty cents a pound, and
his sugar at lower rates than he will re-
ceive, he showed me that his net profits
this year would be 500, 1871. As cotton is
now worth at his door five or six cents
more per pound, his net profits Will prob
ably stand at about sspsaFy thousand dol
lars,
In general, it will be safe to make esti-
mates for any operations next yeaa, on a
basis somewhat like the following. Sup
pose a plantation secured containing 1000
acres of arabic land. The planter will,
by beginning to pillow in the last week of
January, try to get 1000 acres in cotton.
Then, if he has leisure, and wants to keep
his hands buoy, no VIII put the other zoo
acres in corn. Sixty mules would proba-
be all he would absolutely need, but he
would be safer and his work would be bet
ter done with eighty, and he would be for
if he got them at $3.50 apiece. He
find corn enough for them on the
plantation. The agricultural implements
needed would prove hut a small item of
expense. One hundred hands, little and
big, would do the work well, and might
prove too many. He would pay them an
average of ten dollars a month, the good
bands more, the boys less, and might add
Xix dollars a month all around, to his esti-
nate, as the cost of their provisions. Of
his aggregate of $1,000 per month, one
lalf would be paid down from week to
week, the rest retained till after the pick
ng season. The estimates then would
tand thus:

The Pittsburg Commercial.


The Commercial comes to us this week
much enlarged, and otherwise improved in
appearance. Eighteen months ago, the
Commercial was printed on Sheet but lit
tie larger than the Journal. but its increas-
ing popularity and extensive advertising
patronage soon made its enlargement neces-
sary, and accordingly some six columns were
added TO its dimensions This increase in size
and usefulness seems to have been appreciat-
ed by the public, and the Commercial con-
tinued to increase in favor, and now the pro-
prietors have been compelled to add some
ten additional columns to Its pages, in order
to accomodate its patrons, and is now the
the largest Daily paper in the State. The
Commercial is one of the ablest conducted
papers in Pennsylvania, and although, devot-
ed especially to the interests of Pittsburg,
yet it contains all the latest news, is sound
Union paper. and warm supporter of the
present National Administration. We
would commend the Commercial to all per-
sons who desire first class daily newspa-

to argue away the test oath. and doubts

Gold In Greene County.

Considerable excitement has lately been
created in Greene county by the develop
ment of gold deposits in shaft sunk for the
purpose Of searching for oil. The discov-
cry was made on lands leased by the Amber
Coal Company. This company is boring for
oil on the farm belonging to the estate of Da-
v;d Keener, deceased in Dunkard township,
and at the depth of 675 feet struck a strata
of very hard substance which proves to be
from two and half to three feet thick. As
soon as they drilled through this hard vein,
the well was reamed to the bottom, and up
on sand pumping, fragments Of ore we're
brought to the surface resembling the gold
bearing quartz. a lump the size of hulled
hickory nat was Immediately forwarded to
Mr.. Mckinley, at Philadelphia, President
OF the company, who had it analized 1t
was found TO contain gold over twenty carets
fine. The value of 81 SO was retured to
Mr.. Long, as the product of the small lump
Of ore, besides several small quantities which
were reserved as specimens 4 committee
was appointed to visit the well and collect
all the necessary information and report
thereon. This discovery has created much
wild excitement, and very wild speculatons
are rife respecting it. We presume scien-
tifc investigation will be made preparatory
to shafting for the precious metal Ifthese are
facts, 1t is an important feature in the min
eral production of Greene county.
