SOUTHERN HAY.
try

Helper in his book, says that the hay crol
| Of the Northern States was worth as much
or brought as much, as the whole cotton GRO
Of the South. A great many people set thi
saying of Helpers down as a fb. We fea
there is at least truth enough in it to prov
chat the aforesaid hay crop has tended vastl,
to impoverish the State of Virginia heretofore
and we would like to call the attention of GU,
farmers to the subject, in order to awaken il
them sufficient interest to look at home fo1
what many of them have sent abroad fol
heretofore.
A farmer friend, WHO'S tolerably conversant
with the subject of hay raising, assures uf
that there is no better country on the face Of
She globe for hay raising than Virginia, and
that In this State pretty much all farmer
las to do In that line is to NOW his crop after
nature has raised it for him. 1t is his impress
SION that hay enough can be saved in this
state, without planting, to stock the whole
United States.
This being true, it seems to us that it will
afford fine opening for a profitable invest
ment in each Of TIE counties of Virginia and
North Carolina, to parties as hay cutters. At
ter the usual crops are saved from the ground
let them, with the improved machinery used
for that purpose, go through each farm, now
ing the hay. and after curing, press and bail
it, ready for market. BY this means the
wealth that we have heretofore thrown away
will be saved to US, and the hay will always
ind ready market in our cities, where we
have heretofore had to get our supplies from
tie North
Some such arrangement as this might be
De perfected in every county and State at
the South, with very little trouble and q
very little expense, and very great saving OF
wealth to the South.
II there was any truth whatever in Helper's
assertion, land we are inclined to believe there
"as') 1t is apparent that the North was large
y indebted 10 the South for market for her
nay and this fact ought to suggest to us at
'nce not to again be guilty of throwing away
% much wealth as "the whole cotton crop of
be South" or that portion of it that has
'srstOtose found market IN our section.

THE EXECUTION oF-THE CIVIL
RIGHTS LAW.

The civil rights law, which is about to take
effect, (says Ion, the Washington correspond
ent of the Baltimore SUM- will, as lawyers
generally state, execute itself, through the
Federsl courts, in like manner with the fugi-
tive slave law The President will have moth
ing to do with its execution except in the
appointment of the United States district
judges. Some of these are already appointed;
others will be in the course of the year. The
judges will appoint their aids, and will see
that they do not appoint improper persons.
The President must take care that he does
not select men for judges who would abuse
their power to speculate, like United States
cotton agents, upon the necessities or appre-
tensions Of the citizens of the States where
the law is to be executed.
The first section Of the law goes into effect
at once, declaring who are citizens of the Uni
ted States This law will remain in force, Of
course, until it iseither repealed or pronounced
by the United States Supreme Court to be
unconstitutional; neither of which contingen-
cies are likely to rise very soon. However
the case will be made in Indiana or Illinois
under their State laws, which prohibit the
immigration of negroes into those States, Oh
their residence there. But these State laws
will, no doubt, be SO modified as to comply
with the Federal law.

VIRGINIA BACHELORS.

The blighting influence of the war, upon
all that was held sacred in Virginia, was SO
widespread, that we hesitate to call attention
to one Of the worst results, which seems to
have been overlooked.
We allude to the alarming fact which daily
ltares lis in the face and which cannot be ig-
nored, that large numbers Of the purest and
tairest daughters Of the Old Dominion are
marrying men from the far South, whore &C.
quaintance they formed during the prevalence
Of the war.
There are two aspects in which this fact
must be viewed, either Of which is of the
most serious import.
The immediate result Of such state Of af-
fairs as we have mentioned, upon the male
portion of our State, is to largely recruit the
ranks of that pestiferous set of neutrals-the
bachelors. If, as is daily the case. large num-
bers Of our girls marry and 60 South, what is
to become of our young men
Do they intend to worry out miserable
existence in the society Of ''singls wretched-
ness" or will they boldly push out and seek
In other climes partner for life7
If the evil we have referred to should con-
tinue, and prove to be as widespread as We
anticipate. We see no h pc for the male sex in
Virginia, except by following the example Of
our felow-citizens of Washington territory
and go largely into importing from the crowd
ed markets of the Moth.
This course would not only steer Us clear Of
the shoals and quick-sands of Bachelordons
but would bring about Reconstruction In its
most pleasing and enduring form.
Before the war, the influence Of Virginia
throughout the South, was acknowledged by
all. But if one-half the daughters of the
Old Dominion are to marry in the far South
how much stronger in the future will bel
claim be as the Mother Of States aud Of States.

He breaches. prays and exhorts, draws
down his face. drops the corners Of his
mouth and undertakes to look sanctimonl-

his pulpit discourses, TO see under how thin.

swear and blaspheme. He can't offer upa
prayer In the house of God without telling
the Lord what an, internal scoundrel,
damned thief, or cursed vagabond, this,
that or the other neighbor Is. From his
youth up 10 his old age he has had no per-
sonal controversies without attacking the
wives, fathers, mothers, grandfathers,
