aCter, were we'll attalueQ ny tue Ouc plSoeu
last year. 1t provides for the legal ascertain
ment Of those who should vote ; it prevents
all others from doing so, and the dishonest
from voting where they ought not, and oftener
than they should it does away with the ne
cessity Of challenSers at the polls; 1t prevents
that undue excitement at voting places which
frequently ends in breaches Of the peace,
riots, atfrays and homicides it is alike fair
to all, and makes our elections what they
should be-an orderly and honest expression
Of the people in the choice Of their rulers.
But I think It can be improved by providing
for those qualified to register before the
County Clerks, and the Magistrates outside
Of county seats ; thus superseding the neces-
sity Of going before the County Commission
ers, and that ut stated periods. and with much
expense and inconvenience; also, BY provid-
ing that the Commissioners shall sit as
Boards Of Triers, say, commencing on the
first Monday in October, to hear and decide
upon all challenges made specifically, and
filed for their action. / suggest, also, that
the payment OF n poll tax be no longer a con-
dition precedent to registration. Every one
who Is able ought, Of course, to pay such tax,
to aid the Government in protecting our
lives, liberties and property (; but the Revenue
Law is ample and stringent upon that point
hence l think it unnecessary and unwise
to keep this provision in the Registry Act,
and thus throw into the arena Of politics an
illegitimate and unwholesome influence.
With this law, thus amended, I think all
good citizens will be well pleased, and con-
tinue grateful to the trainers Of our organic
law for requiring it. ..r

cure well defined establishment Of all county
boundaries, and prevent these troubles in the

In a speech having reference to
the reciprocity negotiations, it was
denied that the Legislature would be
made subordinate to the United
States. 1t was claimed that the hbe-
raj terms offered the Americans had
created public sentiment among
them favorable to the revival OF the
reciprocity treaty, and that should
the treaty not be renewed, Canada
must cultivate commercial relations

:. Fa,,en from their High Estate,

TIE Journal Of Commerce says Of
the radicals, that their prestige is
taken from them. Stevens and Sum-
ner, and such papers Us the i1'ibunes
of Chicago and New York, and espe- 4
cially the Chronicle of the dead For
ney, now utter no voice but that of n
faction-not even the voice of par
ty-and their utterances are pro-
nounced reasonable in character by
the authority which they have repre-
sented to be the Government itself.
Henceforth they cannot lead the peo-
pie astray with the idea that they
speak by virtue of any power other
than their own variable and passion
ate wills.
Indeed, the conclusion of our con-
temporary is manfully upheld by
variety of circumstances. The Com
mittee on Reconstruction reported
through Mr.. Bingham the following
amendment to the Constitutions:
''That Congress shall have power to
make all laws which shall be neces-
sary and proper to secure to the citi-
zens of each State all the privileges
and immunities of citizens of the
several States, and to all persons in
the several States equal protection
in the rights of life, liberty and pro-
perty. "
| TLo 1,&o,+ oJ,;oo, ;,f -. 49,
this amendment has also been defeat
1 ed. Its postponement to the second
Tuesday in April is thought to have
finished it, and also to have brought
to an end the Constitutional amend
ments of the Reconstruction Commit
tee. The large majority that acted
against it in the House of Represen-
tatives is to be regarded as an admis-
sion on the part of the radicals that a
direct fight with the President is not
in order. Add to this the encourag-
ing fact that the Cabinet is nearly, if
not quite, unanimous in support of
the Presidents policy.
The New York World mentions, as
striking indications that the Presi-
dent will be sustained, the speech of
MI. conway, IN Klchmond. Ih1S
gentleman was formerly Representa-
tive in Congress from Kansas, and
then the very Ajax of extreme radi-
calism. Mr.. Conway has Been in Vir-
ginia, has seen and heard for himself,
and is able to speak with authority to
his Congressional friends. Consider
able Importance is also attached to
the GREAT oatherinp of the first citi-
zens of Connecticut, to uphold the
Presidents hands, at which Senator
Doolittle, of Wisconsin, made a
strong speech; and, what is more
noteworthy. was followed in the same
vein by Rev. Leonard Bacon, D. D.,
the widely-known and beloved head
of his church, in New England, and
formerly editor of the Independent, in
New York. The work goes bravely
on.

The Republican ouandarx.

Sam. Bowles writes from Washing
ton to the Springfield Republican,
touching the efforts of the Republi-
cans to patch up q truce with the
President. He says essome of the
very best Republicans in Congress
are hopeful that matters may be ar
ranged between the high contracting
parties. The Republican dilemma is
thus stated:
That part of Congress which is not
passionate but reflective confronts
the fact that it has utterly failed in
dealing with the questions of recon.
struction. It has houndered in tech
nical and theoretical debate for three
months, but agreed upon no action,
formed no policy, established no
terms OF reconstruction. It can 90
on so no longer. It must either admit
loyal representatives from the South
ern States, or establish the terms
upon which it will admit them. The
attempt to secure negro suffrage is an
admitted failure. Between those who
are opposed to it per Sc, those who,
approving it in principle, are opposed
to it in policy, and those who shrink
from forcing any system of suffrage
upon the States, as an unjust, uncon-
itutionalinterference with the rights
of the States, the Republicans in
neither House can muster majority
for this great principle of national,
impartial suffrage The best thing
possible relating to that subject is the
Blaine amendment, which deprives
the South of political power for the
negroes, to, whom it denies suffrage.
But Mr.. Sumner, who proposed sub
stantially the same thing last winter,
now opposes this with all his might,
and boasts that its defeat in the Sc
nate is sure. That admitted, what
can Congress do? Must it not prac-
tically acce, It the Presidents policy,
and admit the loyal representatives.
A majority of them are really earnest
Republicans; early Wnancipationists,
original and thorough Union men
some OF them even negro suffrage
men. They would really strengthen
the hands of Congress against the
disloyal elements of the South; 3
portion, Senator Wilson insists,
would even side with the -adical Re.
publicans of the North against the
President. And so it may be that
the thing which Congress has refused
to do, IN order to agree with the Pre-,
sident, it will still do in order to help
itself successfully to fight him. Ger
tainly Congress feels the sharp pricks
of time and of danger. 1t slike the
boy out on rough sea in an open
boat: ''Can you pray, Jim?" ''No. y
'Can you sing Il hymn" ''No. ,
Cant you, then, repeat verse Of
the Bible ?" "Not q bit of it. ,

got to be done ID quick"

HIGHWAY ROBBERS. following
extract (says the Charleston Couriey)
from a private letter received in this
city, dated Aiken, March B, has been
handed us for publication. The state
of affairs which it represents as exist
ing in the vicinity of Aiken demands
immediate attention from the author
tiles, who, we trust, will not be back
ward in applying the proper correc-
tive, in as summary u manner as the
outrages merit. The letter reads as
follows.
''Be very careful, when you come
up, to be armed. The country is in
tested with mounted robbers. The
express wagon was robbed near Will
iston, last night, and three horses
and all the money was taken. Just's
driver was robbed of his horse, and
murdered, eight miles from here.
We were stopped coming, but on
drawing our pistols the robbers left.

cause, knocked Mr.. Cushman in the
head to-day. All is excitement about
here"

FOREIGN PRoDUCTIoN OF COTTON. -
Before the American war this coun-
try supplied 100000 bales out of
the 4, ,225, 900 delivered for consump-
ton i'll all Europe, or more than
three-quarters. The cutting off of
this supply by the war, and the very
high prices that prevailed for five
years, stimulated foreign production
to the utmost. We look to the results
for evidence of the ability of foreign
countries to compete with our pro-
duction. -Four countries were looked
to for the new supply-the East
Indies, Brazil, West Indies and the
Mediterranean country. In the East
Indies special efforts were made to
extend the culture, which increased
from a delivery in Europe of 573, 600
bales of 400 pounds in 1S6O-which
was the production under the old
order of things-to 1858, 600 in
1868; 1,6O7,0 in 1864, and declined
to 1920, 900 in 1865.
There are other signs that the in
crease in that country has eliminated,
even in the face of the high prices of
last year. In the Presidency of Ma
dras, there were, on the 31st of Octo-
Der, only 931,72 acres of cotton
under cultivation, against 1,O63, 300
acres the year before From Egypt
and Syria, the imports were $50, ,O0O
in 1860, and 33Y, 900 in 1865, with
strong symptoms Of decline in pro
duction.
Brazil has disappointed the great
expectations based on her. Her de.
livery in Europe was 1O6, 900 bales in
1860, and 149, 900 in 1865. Expecta-
tions of any supply from China
and Japan have been abandoned.
Even at the high prices of several
years past, the foreign production OF
cotton anpearc to have eliminated.
It is evident that America will still
control the marke is of the world,
even at much higher prices than pre-
vailed before the war, and that a
moderate tax on exported cottol
would collect so much from the world
at large to help our finances. Oul
idea of u moderate tax would be five
cents pound. This, on an export
of $4,000 bales-which we exceed
ed in 1S60-would give 100000 OF
revenue to apply to our war debt.

The New York Herald, of the 1st
instant, states that accounts from
Bombay show a rapid increase of the
growth of cotton in Western India.
The shipment for five months alone
during last year over the Great In
dian Peninsular Railway, amounted
to 2O9,7 bales-three times the
amount for the same period in the
preceding year. It gives interesting
facts relative to the quality of Indian
cotton, and showsits great inferiority
to that grown in this country The
French fresh-water canal at Suez now
empties into the Gulf of Suez; but
the maritime canal, which is the great
commercial work, shows no SIGNS Of

Friday Morning, March 9, 1885.
Labor.

The great question now before the
Southern people is that of labor.
There can be no doubt but that the
introduction of white labor, not only
agricultural, but in the department
OF mechanics and the useful crafts
generally, is most imperatiyely de
manded, not only to retrieve our
broken fortunes, but to develop our
vast resources in every department.
We cannot perceive any hope for
the full development of all that the
South can do, from the negro. The
sudden transition from their former
state to that of freedom has COM
pletely upset their former ideas of
work; and whilst tho Freedman's Bu-
reau, in the person of its officers, has
been doing all in its power to disa-
buse this class of the notion that free
dom is not license to live idle, and be
supported in some way; yet, in the
vicinity of towns and cities, the bane-
full effects of the sudden emancipa-
ton is clearly visible. On plantations
and farms remote from the influences
natural to large communities, they
may do tolerablyw well; but even there,
from what we can learn, they accom-
plish only about half the labor they
were accustomed to perform, and are
very difficult of management at that
The remedy for all this is only to
be found in the introduction of white
labor. Our large plantations must be
carved up into respectable farms; our
water power must be made available
in the erection Of manufactures and
machine shops; our young men must
learn to aoork:;; our first families must
realize that to labor is honorable; and
thus, by each putting his shoulder to
the wheel, the Southern States can
assume their rightful position in the
material contribution to the wealth
and prosperity of the whole country.
With climate and soil unparalleled
for the production of the egreat staples,
with which the world cannot dispense
with, it is the first duty of the people
of the South, in the condition into
which they have been thrown by the
results of the war, to use every effort
and strain every nerve to make every
dollar that her agricultu-
raj, manufacturing. mining and me-
chanical-can yield to the willing and
working hand and heart.
One year has passed since the eman-
cipation OF the slaves. The expert
ment of freed labor in that class does
not justify any reasonable hope that
the great resources of the South can
not be fully developed by that instru.
mentality. The only hope, therefore,
for our future progress and prosperity
is to be found in the introduction o1
reliable white labor, and the deter
mination of ou, orm people to go II
,cOrh..

The Baltimore Sun mentions that
some of the newspapers are discuss
ing the number of native and foreign
born citizens who served in the army
during the late war. The Rev. DR..
Bellows, in alluding to the number of
foreigners who were in the Federal
army i'll the war, lately remarked,
that ninety per cent. of the army
were ''purely American" The sta
tistics compiled for the United States
Sanitary Commission, by Mr.. E. B.
Elliott, hardly warrant these state
ments, as in 1861, out of 200 regi-
ments, taken at random from each
division of the army in the field, and
then examined, 761a per cent. were
composed of little more than half of
native-born, and 61s pes cent. show
ed majority of Germans, and 513
per cent. q majority of Irish, and 81,
of the native and foreign were about
equal, and the report says that it was

the public would be glad to get at the
exact facts.
