The Usuy Law.

South Carolina is not keeping pace
with her sister States, North Carolina
and Georgia, in the rapid strides
those States arc making in the dcyel.
opment cf their resources. No d d,ubt
one drawback to her progress is the
incubus upon the free use of money
within her bounds. Those other two
States have so modified their usury
law as to open the way for capitalists
to throw in their means. It is to be
hoped that the next sessions of the
Legislature will not let the occasion
pass without making our State as ac-
cessible to Northern or European capi.
tai as any other.
There will huebe and cry raised
for the relief of debtors, but Legisla-
tors had better respond to that appeal
by opening the channels for the in
gress of money, than by any attempt
to close up absolutely those which
have been nearly dried up by the
drainage of war. re.

Cultivation Of the Peanut.

Small farms subjected to thorough
culture and made vastly productive
must now como into vogue in this
southern cline. The oft quoted Lat
in phrase, multum IN pa,vo, ("much in
little",) will hencoforth he the agricul-
tural motto in this region. Euergy,
industry and economy will develop
resources not heretofore dreamed of in
the philosophy of our rural popula-
tion.
What will pay best on an acre of
land will be the query now. Per-
haps this question may be partially
answered by the cultivation of the
groundnut or peanut, altas pinder alias
goobcr. Upon sandy lands this will
remuncratc the farmer. From Is to
Is bushels may be raised to the acre.
The cultivation is not tedious. And
so useful is the peanut that it offers an
induccment for it's cultivation. 1t
pays very well at one dollar bushel.
AS forage for cattle, the vine is ga id
to be as valuable as the b ,st Northern
hay. The,nut contains an oil which
when prepared for lubricating, or 9TH
cr purposes; does not gum. This oil
is used for burning purposes in the
preparation of medicines, and as a
condiment in salads.

A Southern Literature,

What the South has lacked, and
what will be a felt want in the future,
isa literature indigenous to herself
during her long aud brilliant career
from the foundation of the Southern
States up to the Great Revolution
which has proved so disastrous to them
all. Her social, political, agricultu-
raj, industrial and biographical histo-
rles have all been written by outsiders
who were only not Immediately inter-
ested in her glory and prosperity, but
who were not prcjudiced to an extent so
prevalent, that they actually distort-
cd and perverted the ideas of our own
youth by inuehdoos and false assertions
in our school books for which we were
dependent upon them.
Posterity and foreigners will read
our history from the pen of our avow-
cd enemies. The history of the
South for nearly one hundred ycafs
past is engraved upon the mem ories of
the reading world only as it has been
! recorded by those who would stir up
the hatred of that world against us.
The blessings and contontmcnt which
accrued to us SO long under the patri-
archal system Of master and servant,
stand upon the pages of history (such
as it ISL only as they can be family
discerned through the mirky haze Of
prejudice, hatred and jealousy. No

An Important Juncture.

The present is one of the most inn
pant epochs in tho whole history of
our State. A transition now threat
ems us with evils which ages can ncy-
er remedy. Take South Carolina in
her rcrcdit and her system of Judicial
government in the past and there is
aot State or community or corpo-
ration under the sun that could out
strip her. And if the State in her
Legislative capacity, in her Conven-
tions, in her primary meetings, in her
press, and all her citizens Individually
and collectively, had one year ago,
proclaimed in tones as Enthusiastically
audible and impressive as Heavens
artillery that come veal or woe, she
and they would not then, and never
should, even entertain a proposition
that winked in the least at the i'm
pairing of the obligation of contracts,
to-day there would have been fnan.
cial capacity so wholesome through
out the State that outside capital
would not have hcsitated TO vitalize it.
1t IS true it is not too late to restore
the invalid. But tampering with her
now is dangerous in the extreme.
Stay law tonics and the broth of the
false hope extended to insolvent debt
ors, spiced with the tincturc of repu-
diation, will do the PROSTATE patient
no good. But she mast have purga-
tlAes, and active ones too.
For citizens to cry to the State for
relief of this kind now alluded to, is to
teach the State to relieve herself.
Bills on the Bank of the State arc
held at large discount now not how
ever, because holders believe she will
never redeem, but bccacsc there is but
faint hope of an early redemption.
But holders Of those notes will yeiry
reasonably conclude, if the State i'm
pairs the obligation of contracts for
her taxpayers, that she will be likely
to do the same for herself. And the
conclusion is just one and nothing
will save the State from the threaten
cd stunning blow which will paralyzc
her credit for generations to come, but
the promptcst, most uncquivocal and
decisive Legislative action that the
representatives of the people can con-
trlre.

Eleotion Retufns.

y
Our readers will have been aware of
tho fact that elections occurred on the
9th in the States Of Massachusetts, New
York, Delaware, Maryland, New Jer.
soy, Illinois, Wisconsin,, Michigan. Mis-
souri, Kansas and Nevada; and Of the
further fact that the course of these cleo.
tions was looked to with much solicitude
in every section ofthe country. 1t was
not expected of course, that they would
change materially the relative strength
Of parties but it was considered of i'm
portance to know whether the tendency
of public feeling was to sustain the Gov.
ernment, or still further swell the over.
shadowlng power of the Republican
party.
The returns from all these States
have not been received, nor may those
which they have received be entirely
accurate, but it is reasonably certain
however, that the Republicans have
gained. There has been some diminu.
ton Of the Republican majority in New
York. Their majority in 1865 was
27s00, and it is now supposed TO be be.
tween 5000 and $4,000. 1t is supos.
ed, also, that the Democrats have gained
in Delaware and Maryland, but these
advantages have been vastly overbal.
anced by the returns already recorded
in favor Of the Republicans. In Mas.
sachusetts they have gained $4,000; in
New jersey 5000; Illinois 10 900
Wisconsin 5000; that they have gained
in Missouri is announced, though tile
amount is not stated; and in all the
other States, from which reports have
not yet come in, it is to be inferred that
their success has been more or less de.
cidcd. 1t is not to be expected that
these results will have any practical ef.
feet npon thc'coursc OF political events.
H. was not to have been expected that
they could have been otherwise. The
masses OF the North, to whom the ape
peal was made have common feeling
that they have achieved in the recent
war some greet material advantages ;
to them the restoration Of the Union
was not Of the slightest consideration,
and when the Government went before
these masses proposing that, as an act
OF Justice to the South, they should per-
NIT the restoration ofthe Union, but in
ooingso they should forego the power
to oppres it further, and was met by
the Republicans with the proposition
That they should keep the States of tie
South as provinces to be plundered at
pleasure, there could have been no
reasonable question Of the course the
masses would approve. Men love JUS
tice in the abstract, but tho most of
them believe they pay every debt to
virtue when they praise her, and few
are willing to practice this or any virtue
at what they conceive TO be their own
expense. |'H
This must have been evident to the
Government before it accepted the is.
sue, ami as is certain it has determined
to sustain its policy ofrestoration, it is
to be inferred that its course will be
independent Of these results. Carolina

Progress Of Work en- theSueS Canal.
A letter from Alexandria, of October G.,
says:
"The cutting of the Maritime Canal Of

which was the last commenced, s being
carried on with great activity This sec-
ton is divided into three paris-one that Of
the Quarantine at Suos, the other in tho
Plain of Suez. Mt distance of four miles,
and that of Chalouf, ten miles distant. The

Since the commencement Of the works 2O2,-
| 542 cubic metres have been extracted.
There consequently remain to remove 15,-

ers employed on the whole line is 2200, OF
whom 1900 are at Chalouf, 800 in the Plain
of Suoz, $50 at the Quarantine. The ex-
traction is made at Chalcuf by means of
several inclined planes with locomotives,
| which present the advantage of greatly as
sisting labor. Eighty miners and two hum
dred laborers arc occupied in blowing up
the rock, which, in this place, is in the line
of the canal. and of which the volumefs

mcnt 1886 metres have been removed, so
! that there remain 10.530. The average

some time past the recruiting of Arab la
borers has been made with facility, and tho
engineers have succeeded in inducing them

are much more convenient. If no obstacle
should arise to disturb the recruiting, the

metres wide and nearly 30 ccntimetrcs
deep, and arc designated rs Trench of Asia
and Trench Of Africa. AT the quarantine
| these trenches arc 400 metres in length,
