IN speaking of the matter of pecu-
MARY relief, Governor ORR in his Message
to the late extra session of the Legislature
of this State, says:
"It is proper here to remark, that if
Stay Law could be passed which could be
free from all constitutional objection, it
would not protect debtors from suit in the
Federal Courts. A creditor residing in the
State who had determined to enforce the
payment of his debt, could readily transfer
it to nonresident, and if the sum exceeds
five hundred dollars, such nonresident
could at once institute suit in the United
States Supreme Court, recover judgment,
issue execution and sell the debtors prop.
erty, Notwithstanding the existence of
Stay Law. Such law would not be REQ.
ognized or enforced in Federal Court"
In reference to this the Charleston News
makes the point that suit on this sort of
consignment would. not lie, and quotes, as
its authority, from the eleventh section of
the Judiciary act of 1889, thus:
"No District or Circuit Court shall have
cognizance of any suit to recover the con-
tents of any promissory note or other chose
in action, in favor of an assignee, unless a
suit might have been prosecuted in such
court to recover the said contents, if no as
signment had been made, except in cases of
foreign bills of exchange"
1t follows from the above that no assigned
monetary obligation can be sued on as
against citizen in o Federal court, unless
original suit thereon might have been
brought in such court-saving the case of
a foreign bill of exchange.
The following statement in refer
euce to the labor system at the North, and
the immense amount of work performed
there by machinery, contains hints Of vital
importance to the South, and suggests the
means by which the prosperity and great
ness of this section may be secured. 1t is
an extract from letter of the Hon. John
Forsyth to the Mobile Register, and be is
speaking of Pennsylvania:
The wealth of this country cannot be
justly measured by its population. The
improvements in machinery, especially as
applied to agriculture, almost dispense with
human hands and the sweat of the brow.
They plough, SOW and reap with machines,
and mans only occupation is to superintend
them. Hence, you ride over country
dotted with farms, in high state of cul.
ture and groaning under crops, and are
surprised at the lack of laborers, and won
der who does all this work. Capital and
science have supplied the places of our
large gangs of negroes, and the work goes
on as if by magic. Thus Pennsylvania,
with her three millions of population, en-.
joys productions equal to the labor of six
millions. The same process would make the
South a garden of fruitfulness, the abode of
great population, and the seat of power.
Let us take lessons from our neighbors, and
find compensation for the sudden destruction
of our vast labor system.
Within the last few months, there
has been great deal of speculation as to
the political affinity of Gen. GRANT. A
communication purportiug to be from Gen.
GRANT, addressed to Gen. HILLYER, at
Albany, N. Y, and dated "Head Quarters,
Armies of the q. s., Washington Septem-
Der 10, 1885," says:
I see from the papers that you have been
making speech in which you pledge me
to a political party. I am further in re-
ceipt of letter from General Gresham, of
Indiana, in which he says that bis oppo-
nent for Congress had published an extract
from letter received from you, in which
you pledge me to the support of President
johnson, and as opposed to the election of
any candidate who does not support his
policy. You, nor any man living, is author
lied to speak for me in political matters,
and l ask you to desist in the future. l
want every man to vote according to bis
own judgment, without influence from me.
Yours, ETC., U. S. GRANT.
"A letter published recently in the
Philadelphia Transcript, and addressed to
Hon. THADDEUs STEVENS, says:
"You have been yourself (meaning Ste
vens) practical miscegenist, with visible
fruits of the practical operation of your doc
trine; and, not only so, but have compound
ed the legitimate claims Of sable rival to
the object of your indulgence. This natu-
rally accounts for your overwhelming zeal
in your advocacy of negro suffrage"
The pith of this is, that STEVENS is liv.
ing with the colored wife of colored bar
ber, and that he has black-and-tan respon-
sibilities in consequence.
An exchange assigns the following,
as the cause for the recent advance of gold:
"Gold has recently gone up to l4Sa.-
The explanation of the rise is the fall of
fye-twenties abroad. These fVe.tweEties
