the condition of the mass of our industrious
black population, the memorable words of
MIR. Benton, of Missouri, uttered in the Uni
ted States Senate years ago, rush with re-
doubled force upon the mind. He said:
"Tenantry is unfavorable to freedom. II
lays the foundation for separate orders in So
clety, annihilates the love of country, and
weakens the spirit of Independence. The
farming tenant has, in fact, no country, no
hearth, no domestic altar, no household god.
The freehslder, on the contrary, is the natural
supporter of free government; and it
should be the policy of republics to multi
ply their freeholders, as it Is the policy of
monarchies to multiply tenants. We are
and we wish to continue so. Then
multiply the class of freeholders pass the
public lands cheaply and easily into the
hands of the people; sell, for reasonable
price, to those who are able to pay; and
give, without price, to those who are not"
Such sentiments may ere long ring through
the pine forests of North Carolina. The loyal

arc increased in quantity and changed in quality;
they are now thick and heavy, and are hawked or
coughed Off The seeretions are offensive, caus--
ing bad breath; the voice thick and nasal; the
eyes are weak; the sense OF smell is lessened or
destroyed, deafness frequently takes place.
Another common and important symptom of
Catarrh is that the person is obliged to clear hiss
throat in the morning of slick or Shiny mu--
cous, which has fallen from the head during the
night. When this takes place, the person may
be that his disease is on its way to the lungs
and should lose no time in arresting it.
The above are but few of the many Catarrhal
symptoms. Write to our Laboratory for our
pamphlet describing fully all symptoms; it will
be sent FREE to any address. Also direction

The President of the United States has issued

shall be observed as day of National Thanks

In the presence of trials and troubles untold,
in the absence of much that makes life dear

Join in prayer and petition to the Supreme
Disposer of Events.
Our State, during the past year, has been
healthy beyond general precedent, and fever
and pestilence have spared the homes of Caro-

and, while plague of insects has passed like
a scorching fire across the low country, the
cotton crop, in the upper districts, is excellent
in quantity and kind.
Heartily, and earnestly, may we return

vouchsafed to us; and devoutly and tearfully

Brighter Times.

Business prospects are decidedly better, and
the indications are that rebound in financial
affairs has, at last, commenced. In Liverpool,
despite the failure of the Royal Bank, and the
depression caused by the convulsions in the
American cotton trade, the staple has taken an
upward turn. This has caused a similar move
ment in New York, New Orleans, and this mar
ket and, from every quarter, the reports
show cotton to be frmer, with an active de-
mand and advancing tendency. Gold has fallen
about two per cent. since this time last week
Money is easier, internal revenue is improving,
and the New York Bank statement is highly
favourable. These causes are already produc-
ing their effect There is dullness in provis-
ions and produce, and it will not be long before
there is renewed activity in every department
of trade
This was to be expected. Dullness and stag
nation cannot endure for ever. The greater
the fall, the greater the reaction; and, in the
general change. the South will have her share
of benefit.
Whatever political trouble may yet be in
Store for us. we can meet it with stout hearts
if trade is brisk and business active. Want Of
capital, want of money, has been our great
drawback All the money that could be OBJ
tanned had been spent in meeting the expense
of planting and raising produce; and, until
that expenditure produced its fruit, no grca'
ease could be looked for. The cotton season.
this year, was later than usual, and planters
however pressed, have refrained from forcing
their cotton upon o dull and declining market
Now, however, planters will be encouraged
to forward their crops. The experience of the
past will keep them from holding off for ex
treme prices, and they will be satisfied if they
can realize moderate return upon their in
vestments AS cotton moves down, the busl
ness of our railroads will improve, our ship
ping will be crowded with freight, our streets
| will be alive with bright faces, our merchants
and factors will be reimbursed the advances
that they have made, and Charleston, and
| Charleston business men, will look more like
the Charleston and Charlestonians of old thar
they have done for many a year. This is ne
exaggerated expectation; and, indeed, the
surest way of commanding fortune, lies in the
belief that the day of our success will speedily
and assuredly come.

A Black "vigrance Committee"

Two respectable merchants of Richmond,
Va, have been notified by negro vigilance
committee to leave the city within forty-eight
hours, on account of their opposition 10 the
Radical ticket for the State Convention.
In itself this menace will be of no effect. 1t
will not cause the persons who have been
threatened to leave their homes, and flee to
the North for safety; and it will not, in any
way, add to the security or safety Of the color
ed people of Virginia. There is no doubt that
Gen. ScHoFIELD, who has held the scales of
military justice with a steady hand, will
promptly put down any movement that threat
ems the peace of the District which he COM
mands; and the result will be that the colored
people will be treated with greater strictness,
and will ALLEVIATE many of the good friends
who have been anxious to advance their in
terests.
South Carolina has, happily, been free from
much of the violence and disorder which have
caused so much trouble in the "0ld Dominion. J"
With one or two exceptions, there has been no
rioting OF turbulence in this city; and, through
out the State, the conduct of the colored people
has been, upon the whole, moderate and salts
factory. Where reckless agitators have most
prevailed, there has been some idleness and
disorder; but, considering all things, the COL
ored people of the Carolinas have been quiet
and prudent.
~ Of Tho rot fivplv hannV
condition Of affairs may be found in two cir
cumstances-the confidence reposed by the
colored people in the good faith and friendship
of their former masters, and the absence of
that horde of radical speakers which swooped
upon the States nearest the Northern line, but
which has done Carolina the favor to leave her
nearly entirely alone. As long as these condi-
tions are unchanged, and there is no reason
why they should change, this State may be ex-
pected to preserve her wonted calm.
Indeed, the more far-sighted and observant
of the colored people are rapidly learning tha'
their security, and their very existence, de-
pend on the preservation of friendly relations
with the whites among whom they live. They
are beginning to understand, that neither the
United States Government nor the Northern
people, would support them in any action look
ing to negro dominion, or intended to convert
the fields of the sunny South into an African
Utopia. They may expect that their freedom
will be upheld and maintained but they must
be careful how they join in any course that
will array the prejudiccs, the passions, and the
necessities of the white race against them, and
which could have but one result, their depres-
sion and ultimate annihilation.
This, in Carolina, need not he feared. The
colored people will read the lesson that is held
out to them by their misguided brethren in
Virginia; and they may rest assured that,
while they are orderly, Industrious and faith
full, no attempt will be made to oppress them,
and that they will not be held responsible for
those things in which they had no part, and
over which they had no control.
