there are no more mischievous politicians
in the United States than those who are
now endeavouring TO divert attention from
It's social hehring, and 10 make it a sub
ject of political agitation. The negro
was an essential element in the old
Southern industry, and by his sudden
and violent emancipation that industry is
at once d~isorganized, and two great class
es of The Southern people deprived of
their customary occupation. The plan
tiers are reduced TO comparative poverty,
and see no Immediate opening for their
energy. The negro has become q free
man, and interprels his freedom to be
the privilege of not working unless he
likes. There is no hope of order or pros
perIty for the country until the industry
OF both these classes is resumed. The
negro, above all, will be nothing but q
burden 10 The nation until he can be made,
as q freeman, a not less Industrious and
useful member of society than he was
when a slave. While this question is yet
unSolved, 10 waste time in discussing his
political position is mere child's play, or
something worsa. Such difficulties may
wa '"1AN II NOFC1 uilICIll, dui We liz
far from judging ii harshIy for not seeing
IFS way clearly at once. But it is evident
that nothing can be done while the spirit
Of lawIessnesS we have noticed is abroad
and is encouraged by public example.
When the North gives confidence to the
South by adopting a generous policy,
when it takes every possible means of
restoring the ordinary operation of law,
and when it employs its capital in repair
ing the wholesale devastation which the
war has wrought, there will then be
some hope of the nation recovering its
old prosperity. There will be no hope
whatever so long as these social remedies
are neglected, and everything is slaked
upon the violent operation of political
panaceas.-I6id, August 81.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. IA.

Whether the sudden close of the war
made minor sensations seem of greater
importance, or " neither il left this coun~
trv more depraved and reckless Of life
and property, is hard to tell but it is
certain that ut no period Of our history
have there been more shocking accidents
and terrible crimes. A new chapter of
murder, fraud, and enlightenment is un-
folded with each rising sun. 1t has been
estimated that on an average 500 persons
have been killed and wounded weekly
by accidents and ARRAYS of various kinds
since General Lees surrender, yet no one
is punished for any of these crimes, and
i: is very seldom. even, that steps are
