THE HELP THE SOUTH NEEDS.

AS a Nation progresses, its Government has
new duties to perform. In particular is this
true of our own Government. Craftsmanship
which thirty years ago might have been pro-
found, may be worthless to-day. One who is
not impressed, or who is incapable of being
impressed, with this idea is unfit for a states
man. The rapid increase of our population
and the great demand for fabrics, for varied
and abundant food, for good furniture,
and for comfortable dwellings, give new
energy to the farmer, the mechanic,
and artisan. The supplies of food
and clothing which we require are so large as
not to be realized by statement in figures,
and they are increasing, to-day with a rapid
ity in excess of any other period. In addition
to our own people, we are receiving each day,
through the ports of San Francisco and New
York, thousand foreigners from the two widely
distant shores of the Old World. Manufactures
are fOurishing-at least they are getting strength
in mortal conflict with foregners-and we are
fabricating and consuming more goods of all
kinds than were produced in the whole of
Europe at the time of the Revolution.
1t is important to know that less than one
fourth of the territory east of the Mississippi
furnishes our meat and bread. The Southern
States never have made their bread till this
year, and they may do so a few years longer
but if they do, it will be at the expense of the
cotton crop; nor will an accession to their
population be of advantage to them or to the
Nation. The capacity of the South to feed
their people poorly has been reached; if better
food is to be provided, they certainly do not
want more people. We know all that can be
said regarding the vast extent of ncultivated
land, and of the benefits they will receive
from capital and the establishment of manu-
factures 1t is true there is some land
left, and it is a blessed thing that there
is but the amount not subject to over
flow, OF to malarious disease, really is very
little. Long ago, wherever there was o chance
for the opening of even a second OF third class
plantation, there the planter made an entry /;
and now, only some forests attached to large
plantations, and some upland valleys, which
can be made valuable by drainage, remain.
To be sure, there are millions of acres among
hills but nobody thinks they can be turned to
the least account. When some plan shall be
adopted for restraining the waters within the
Western Levees, and making it worth while
to cultivate the plantations already made, we
can go into the jungles of cane-brake and

novolent as that of Smiths0n. But the fIesiueh'

orror Of pennsylvania. Then the Nlce-Chan-
collor held that, as Slavery had been abollSheo
{, tbo limited States, tho Blacks were alrcauy
restored to an equality OF civil rights mo"
tbe American Government would not take
charge Of the education OF colored stuaentS "a

of the Vice Chancellor; but he strangely iaiieu
TO make himself heard on the occasion, having
nrobably gone on visit to some sphere where
news from our mundane chancery arrives Dut
seldom.
OF the law of this case we have nothing 10
say. The testatOr evidently meant to be be-
neyolent, and to assist class OF Americans
who arc much minced of aid, and have just
claims upon the sympathies of the charitable
He failed, because he did not fully acqualnt
himself with the technical difficulties IN the
way of carrying out his charitable Intentions
He has afforded if it were needed, another IL
lustration of the shrewd wisdom of Mr.. George
Peabody in arranging his own charities ana
benevolences, and in leaving nothing over
which the chancery lawyers of future ages
might do desperate battle. Such an example
as that of the London banker ought not
to be disregarded. If this article should hap

who has determined to die, and has already
done something handsome in his testament Tor
any church, or society, or mission, or asylum, OF
library, or dispensary, or college, or hospital

mind the exceeding economy and safety OF

We hope that the reported movement IN
Abyssinia may, as is expected, bring England
happily out of the awkward dilemma. Inc
question Of the English captves is one that
does not concern England alone, but the whoie
civilized world. AS far as is known, the oniy
reasons which led to their imprisonment were
the failure of the English Government to reply
to a letter from the Abyssinian King TO the
Queen, regarding permission to send an Ell
bassy TO England, and the remonstrance Oh an
English missionary against the hogglng 70
death of two interpreters. 1t was merely acoie
dental that they were Englishmen; citizens OIL
any other country might have met WIN cno
some fate for the same reason. The ADySsh-
ian captiyes suffered, therefore, from oaroa-

try. and their deliverance would be hailed Dy

The setting aside of u will is about the most
melancholy of legal transactions, because the
poor tcstator is so completely helpless. There
he lies in the cool and quiet sepulcher without
one word to say for himself, while his relatives
squabble about his estate, real, personal, and
mixed; while Judges drone out decisions and
make up his mind for him; while witnesses
insiuuatc their opinion that the dear departed
was not exactly right in his upper story; while
the papers accumulate, and lawyers grow pursy,
and the property in dispute is transmogritied
into costs. All this happens because the gentle
man in the coffin foolishly undertook to do what
he pleased with his own, credul0usly believed IN
his scryener, and in an evil hour made will in
stead Of trusting to and acquiescing in the stat
utcs Of distribution. 1t has always seemedto usto
be a dubious stretch of bench authority to set
aside any will, except in clearly proven cases
of mental unsoundness, sufficiently marked to
have subjected the testator, If living, to legal
restraint. A geological or ornthological spinster
may keep and feed, while she is still in the
flesh, forty cats, or as many parrots; but there
is no mercy for the beasts or for the birds if
she happens to provide for them by her will.
Mouser must go without her meat, and Pretty
single eccentric action sends the actor to mad
house; but an odd bequest, however small,
creates (among lawyers and relatives) the gravest
doubts of the intellectual steadiness of the
bequeather. Poor man! he never seemed ex-
actly like other people. "Was he i'll your
"opinion insane7" asks the Proctor. The
memory of the witness isinstantly quickcned.
He remembers that the testator frequently did
strange things. Had no partiality, perhaps for
clean linen Always lived alone, with cats and
dogs. Refused to see his affectonate nephews
and nieces when they brought him sponge
cake and roasted partridges. Locked the door
in the witnesses face, and swore at him out OF
the window. Insane! why, Sir, he was as mad
as a brace of March hares-you really couldn't
desire to have anybody crazier than he was
But strange liberties are sometimes taken
with wills, even when there is no question OF
sanity. One c. Roberts, for instance. lately
died in England, bequeathing to the President
of the United States and the Governor OF
Pennsylvania q certain amount OF stock, which
was to accumulate until it should amount to
100000 Then the whole sum was to be ap-
piled to the endowment of a college in Penn
sylvania, in which college (among other things)
should be inculcated and advocated the nat
"ural rights Of the black people Of every cline
"and country, until they be restored to an
equality in civil rights with their white
"brethren throughout tho Union" Now here,

Major-Gen. POpe's letter to Gen. Grant is
important, as it shows the vast influence OF
such men as Mr. Il. II. Hill and Mr. Herschel
v johnson in preventing the restoration OF
the Southern States. Reconstruction is impos-
sible, in Gen. POpe's opinion, so long as these
men remain leaders of the people, and he is
convinced that their course is the fullest justi-
ficatiOn of the disfranChising acts of Congress
Yet, he comedies that among those disfran-
chsed are many worthy men, now loyal, who
might safely be trusted with the power
to vote and hold Office. We commend
to the thoughtful consideration of the
Southern people this letter. 1t is more import
ant to them than to the North, for it shows
exactly who are the men who prevent amnesty.
Gov. Perry and Mr.. Hill, and their fellows,
who continue to counsel resistance are the
worst enemies of the South in prOlOnging the
spirit of rebellion, they prevent us from remov-
ing the penalties of rebellion; in showing the
existence of danger and disloyalty, they check
the magnanimity of the American people.

The Committee upon the pardoning power
report to the Convention in favor OF leaving
that power where it has rested for forty-tive
years-in the hands of the Governor Consul
tation has been had upon the subject with Gov.
Fenton and ex-Govs. Fish, Morgan, and Sey-
mour. The convictions in Courts Of Record
during the past twenty years have been S5,572,
while the pardons have numbered 2,015, of
which number 766 were of persons charged
with petty offenses. We should like, if it were
possible, to have in this connection, complete
record of the number, names and crimes of the
scoundrels who have been permitted through
the peculiarites of certain of our judicial courts
to escape the just penalty of their evil deeds.
There are more virtual pardons issued from
an irresponsible bench than there are actual
ones from the closely-watched Executive
chamber.

MRS LANDER AND THE LEGIIIMAIE
DRAMA.

The influence of the American theater is neces-
sarily so great either for good or evil that all
thoughtful minds must take especial interest IN
every effort to raise the standard OF dramatic
performances. All of our managers and actors
are not mere seekers of popularity and wealth;
many of them understand their response
bility to art and the moral principles that
underlie all true art and strlve-not
TO restore the old stage, but-to establish
a new stage, worthy of the American
neonle. We sl,all never see in this country the
old English theater successful. We may regret
the days when n was the ambition OF ste"'
actor to play many different characters i'll ono
engagement when the ambition OF hean' anu
Booth, and Kemble was to show the Versatiity
and extent of their genius. 1t Is SAID that 'ne
attempt to run single play one huhured
nights now so often successful, forty years
ago would have created riot IN LONDON
But since then the scenic resources OF the theter
and tho number of its patrons have Deen
vastly increased Managers take pride IN pro-
ducing a single play of Shakespeare's, ana
maintaining it throughout the season. This
ambition to make prolonged runs" is ire
duently an evil and a nuisance, but 1t has
sometimes its value, as for instance, IN the
production of "Thc Merchant of Venice" III
this city last Winter. But whether we regret
or approve this tendency of the American
stage. we cannot arrest it. The universal pas
sion for scenic effect cOmpels managers to en-
ploy their resources in the production OF single
plays. and the best we can do is to sustain those
who surround with the splendor of painting
the historical accuracy of costume, dramas OF
Il, ltrffa
jefferson, John S. Clarke, Lester Wal
lack, William Warren, are some OF the
actors and managers who have earnestly
cndeayored to maintain the reputation OF the
American theater, and while yielding to the
modern demand for scenery, have recognized
the higher and nober beauty of acting itself.
Nothing is more offensive to refined taste than
n miserable picture in n splendid frame, and
we would rather see one of Shakespeare )
tragedies well acted in barn than the bad
PLAYS and worse performances which some OF
our theators so magniiicently array.
Mrs. F. W. Lander, who will tonight appear
at the French Theater, in a translation OF the
tragedy of Elizabeth" is lady whose genius
has ever been devoted to the highest range OF
art. and we welcome her popularity as proof
that the legitimate drama his only to appeal
to the public to find the fullest support. The
character of Elizabeth, made famous by
Ristori, lost something of its effect by its per-
formance in Italian. Mrs. Lander in adding it
to the list of her triumphs will Americanizc it.
We cordially welcome her reappearance, and
are glad to believe that Elizabeth" as
Mrs Lander will perform it, is one of the plays
of which the public will not easily tire, and
which the stencst advocate of variety will
rejoice to find the permanent sensation of the
season. O
