What Will be the Result.

The newspapers from the inte-
rior bring us renewedly the infor
nation that the freedmen are,
becoming more and more averse
to work, and generally declare
that they will make no contracts
to labor for the coming year.
With the present aspect of
things, political and material, it
is to be hoped that they will con
tinue to think thus and act accord
ingly. There are two classes of
persons who need to learn by such
a lesson, the freedmen themselves
and the white people.
We trust the former will in
some way make a living. They
can get work by the day to a
great extent, and can obtain land
to work if they can give sufficient
guaranty that they will act the
part Of good tenants. Such as
really desire to be useful men to
| themselves and families will dc
well to buy lands and open farms
of their own. Lands are abun
dainty cheap, and the man
who cultivates ten acres well
thoroughly and attentiyely, vii
find his hands and those of hi'
family, though half grown, album
dainty full, and his idle hour
very few.
i IF the others do not choose T.
to work for their ''old masters,

rative stores in England, On a
cold, gloomy day in November.
1S43, twelve poor weavers met in
a back room of a little inn at
Rochdale, North Lancashire, Eng
land, to devise ways and means
for raising themselves out of their
condition of wretched poverty.
AS their wages were low they hit
upon the plan of eking out their
means by cooperative effort. A
paper was drawn up and they
agreed to pay twenty pence q week
into a common stock, and under
the style and title of "The Roch-
dale Society of Equitable Pho
neers," commenced operation, for
their joint advantage, pecuniary
and otherwise. In the course of
a year they collected $135, and
with this small capital started the
first cooperative store ''for the
sale of provisions, clothing, etc.
Though Knocked andlaughed at as
''Bedlamite weavers," they perse-
vered, and at the end of twenty
two years the original society had
increased to 1926 members. Dur
ing the first quarter of 1866, the
sales from their store amounted
to S255, 800, yielding profit of
S31,540 The profits divided
among the members during the
first twenty years are put down at
S651, 800, and the working capital
has risen from $135 to over 81
100000.
If a few ignorant weavers by
economy and thrift could achieve
such magnificent results from so
small a beginning, what might not
be expected from the intelligent
sons of Louisiana if they but turn
the currents of their pride into
available channels, and with such
means as they can still command,
make an effort worthy of them
selves? We do not write thus in
order to induce our people to open
stores, or work their plantations
on the cooperative plan, but tC
stimulate them by an example Of
economy and perseverance which
the impoverished everywhere
would do well to follow New
Orleans Times.

"Industrial Reconstruction.

heading, gave some advice to our
readers which we trust will prove
neither unreasonable nor unac-
eeptable. Every day it is becom-
ing more and more apparent that
the white people of the South
must look to their own unaided
exertions, if they expect again to
work out successfully the problem
of material prosperity. Hercules,
according to the old fable, was
very strong, but he had no idea
of helping those who would not
help themselves. Our people now
find themselves impoverished; ;
they have no longer herds of SER
vile laborers to do their bidding,
and without labor their broad
acres can never become produc-
tive. When the war closed they
said to themselves ssHercules is
strong; we will invite him to do
our work" So they called across
the waters of the mighty deep
to Ireland, to Germany, to Switz-
erland. The cry was heard, but
there was no favorable response.
Brawn and muscle are neither
sympathetic, nor inclined to peril
Gus adventure. They seldom rush
into "the imminent deadly breach, !"
for the salvation of those who
wish their aid. In short, they
are selfish, and unless mastered
by brain or compelled by a resist
less force, they work only for them
selves, and then, not always to
the best advantage. They have
no fancy for making plantations,
broad as German principalities,
"blossom as the rose," for the ben
eft of a master, and the permar
nent establishment of caste. Nor
is this surprising. Has not that
profound moral philosopher and
sociologist, Thomas j. Durant, de-
clared that the control and owner
ship of one mans labor by another
constitutes the very essence oil
slavery?
Our people must recognize the
facts of the situation as they ex
ist; they must recognize the social
. and Industrial, as well as the 20
litical revolutions, which have

In South Australia the people are
paying considerable attention to iron
manufacture. 1t is said that the iron
ores of that colony are unbounded in
quantity, lie close to the surface of the
ground, and are OF extraordinary rich
ness, some of them yielding ninety per
cent. The difficulty is want of coal,
but the re are inexhaustible forests OF
wood for smelling, and even if2eoal
had TO be imported from New South
Wales, the extreme richness OF the ores
would, it is thought, more than make
amends for the extra cost of fuel.
