MANUFACTURING IN THE SOUTH.
ERN STATES.

The Southern journals are addressing to
their readers arguments like the following
"The report recently published by the
State of Massachusetts, Of the manufac turing
industry of that State for the year 1865 is
an instructive document. The first report,
made in 1901, opened the eyes of the
country to the remarkable progress made in
manufactures. The product of manufacture
ing industry for that year in the single State
of Massachusetts was eighty-six millions of
dollars The report for ls45 showed pro-
duction Of one hundred and forty-fve mil
lions. In 1855 it increased to two hundred
and ninety-fve millions. By the::report for
1865 the amount of manufactures is five
hundred and nineteen millions of dollars.
Thus, in less than thirty years, the value of
the product Of manufacturing industry in
Massachusetts has been increased more than
six-fold.
This increase, says the National Intelli-
gencer, is the result Of the protective system
and of the paper currency combined. Both
of these systems are to be continued in ope-
ration, and probably carried out to greater
extent. In five years the product may be
again doubled. The Massachusetts capital
lists are erecting more machinery, and adding
10 their numbers of mills and factories Of
every kind. The national debt is the main
support of the tariff system, and Of the paper
currency. While the debt remains, the tariff
and internal taxation and the inflated cur
rency will remain. The prosperity of Massa-
chusetts under this system is enjoyed to a
like extent by other New England States,
and by portions Of the Middle States.
"Whle this state of things lasts, why may
not the South by gradual steps advance to a
degree of prosperity, equal, if not superior,
to that of the Middle and Eastern States
There can be no longer doubt that the sys-
TEN of national currency and protection has
been Fixed upon the country, past the power
Of any party to reverse the course Of affairs
during this century.
LET US then snatch the flower from the
nettle We nave the labor, the water-power
and the raw material at our doors
at only remains then to put our surplus
means in machinery for cotton factories, and
not so much in stocks OF groceries and dry.
goods. The mercantile interest is overdone.
The broad and rich field Of manufacture re-
mains with but here and there a cultivator.

the NORTHERN FIRE-EATERs.

Those terrible fellows, the Southern fire.
eaters, says the New York Times, were
swept out Of existence by the tempest of
war which they brought upon the country.
Where now are the YANcEYs, RnErrs,
TooNBsEs, and the class Of men whom they rep.
resented Where are the fierce and furious
speeches with which they used to infame
the nation, and by means of which they
finally fred the Southern heart and pre-
ciptated the Cotton States into revolution ?"
Gone-forever and wholly gone. But in
their stead we have now small and equally
terrible set of Northern fre-eaters-men Of
the same narrow and extreme cast of mind,
the same hot and uncomfortable passions,
the same fierce language, the same ambi-
tious purposes. They live by firing the
Northern heart, by playing upon the section
al feelings, and by embroiling the popular
passions. There must be check put upon
them by the common sense and reason of
the people, or they will yet bring the coun-
try into state Of turmoil equally terrible
with that from which it has just emerged.

The New York Commercial Advertiser of
Monday says:
The State Republican Convention passed
resolution providing for new enrolment
of Republican electors in this city, and for q
new city committee. The reason for this
was, that the old general committee was
mainly in the hands Of those conservatives
who have gone over to the johnson camp.
On Saturday night what was left of the old
committee held a meeting at the Broadway
and Twenty-third street Hall, and sundry
persons of the new committee, who were
members also of the old one, sought adms-
sion. There was a row. Fighting men were
present, and these varied their exploits by
picking pockets. The new men did not get
in, and went off cheering for Fenton, followed
by cheers for Hoffman. The old members
left behind passed resolutions denouncing the
State convention.

THE DEPARTM ENTS,


The law Of June 81, 1866, providing for
the disposal Of the public lands in the South
ern States for homestead settlement. is now

Alabama, Mississippi Louisiana, Arkansas
and Florida, for homestead settlement only,
according to the provisions Of the original
homestead act of May 20, 1862, and the
amendatory act Of March 81, 1864, but re-
stricts each entry to eighty acres, held at
sl.25 per acre, or half that quantity Of dou-
Bile minimum land.
This restriction as to quantity continues
until the expiration Of two years from the
date Of the act, and entries after that will be
allowed as provided for in the original law
and the act amendatory thereof, unless 9TH
erwise ordered by Congress. In lieu Of the
$40 fee required by the act Of 1862 to be paid
at the time of entry, IS must be paid when
the patent issues.
TIE benefits Of the act are extended to all
citizens Of the United States, without dis
tinction as to race or color. The above pro-
visions have special application to the States
mentioned whilst the second section Of the
act is of general application to all the States
and Territories and provides that until the
LIST of January, 1867, the applicant shall make
affidavit that he has not borne arms against
the United States or given aid and comfort
to its enemies. The law is Of further general
application in this-that the fee is reduced
to FIVE dollars when the entry shall not en-
brace more than eighty acres at sl.25 per
acre.
The provisions of the acts Of 1862 and s64,
except as modified by the act Of June 2lst,

The Panama Star and Herald of Sept. 20
has the following:
TROUBLE IN PANAMA.
A resolution has been passed by the Leg
islature of the State now in session, which we
published in full in Spanish in our last issue.
1t is nothing more nor less than setting the
General Government at defiance. Some
time since circular was issued at Bogota
by the Secretary Of Estate of the Union, point
ing out the line of conduct the Executive
should pursue in the event Of disturbances
in any Of the States, and soon after the Sec
rotary Of War and Navy addressed a letter
to the Government Of this State ordering
the disbanding of the public forces and in
structing the President Of the State that he
must abstain from keeping up any such force
in future.
To both of these documents the President
Of Panama replied, declining to acquiesce in
them and requesting their annulment and
now the Legislature has passed resolution
approving the Presidents reply, and declar-
ing null and Of no effect both the circular Of
the Secretary Of State and the note of the
Secretary Of War The mails leaving on the
oath take this highly important Information

elapse before we hear Of its reception there

The Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
decides that the recent law Of Congress cx-
empts any boot or shoemaker making boots
or shoes TO order, as custom work only,
where work does not exceed annually one
thousand dollars In order TO determine the
amount or value Of work, exclusive of ma
terials the value or cost Of the materials is
to be deducted from the sales value of the
boots or shoes manufactured. If the differ
ence between these two sums is less than, or
only equal to, one thousand dollars the boot
or shoemaker is exempt. But if it is more
than one thousand dollars, he is taxable, and
the extent Of his liability is to be determined
in the same manner as any other manuiac-
turer under the provisions Of section 80. A
boot or shoemaker claiming exemption un-
der this provision of law, as being engaged
exclusively in the manufacture of custom
work, must be required to make monthly re-
turns of products, sales and value or cost of
materials used or consumed, if in the opin-
ion Of the assessor there is probability that
he will exceed the limit Of exemption; but
no assessment is TO be made until the limit
Of one thousand dollars has been reached.

During the month Of September last the
New York agency, Col. S. L. Lee, superin-
tendent, gratuitously collected and paid to
claimants for soldiers back pay bounty,
pensions, &C., the sum of SlO.O63.57. During
the same period 2,5l3 letters were received
by the agency; 1881 written; l,52l claims
received and So settled. There seems to be
no diminution in the business of the Office,
on the contrary, it is increasing monthly
and additional clerks have been employed to
aid in the adjustment of the claims daily
pouring into the office. The necessity for
the continuance of the different State agen-
cies will doubtless continue for several
months to come.
