The Labor Question.

WILMINGTON, n. c., I'd Dec, 1867.
To DougaId NcJ[iAan, Esq, President Neac
Ha,aoeer AgyicuNurh Society,":
DEAR SIR In reply to your many in
quiries, and those Of many Of the members
of your Society, in regard to the present
situation Of our country, and of its future
prospects, | beg leave to say, ] regard the
subject Of Labor as first in magnitude, first
in Importance, and claiming our earliest
md most earnest attention, after providing
for our self-preservation. [ am free to
acknowledge that three years experience
has produced radical change of my opin-
ion on the subject of labor. At the close
of the war in 1865, our negroes seemed
well-disposed, and inclined las [ then
thought to labor and provide homes and
sustenance for themselves and families l
therefore entertained strong hopes that
they would settle down into steady habits
of industry, and make for the country a
class of useful laboring citizens. In this
have I been disappointed, very much to
my regret and sorrow.
Unfortunately for us, and Our beloved
Southern country, the government has been
unsettled to such Il degree as to lock up
capital and paralyze enterprise with q most
whitening and blighting effect.
The immediate causes which produced
the change of disposition and habit of the
freedmen in our midst is patent to all and
unnecessary to recapitulate here. 1t is
sufficient to say that, with me at least, the
hope is abandoned of moulding them into
steady, industrious and useful citizens. |
record, with pleasure, many exceptions
which have come under my observation, but
~
whole.
In this view of the subject, and under
the circumstances which now surround us,
it is one rAaI to our whole people, North
as we'll as South, and should claim the most
earnest attention and prompt action of the
best minds of our land; and why Because
| labor is the basis of agriculture; and what is
agriculture you ask. I reply, It is that
employment ordained by God himself,
when he declared that by the sweat of your
! brow shall you eat bread, by which [ I'M
derstand, that all the real, substantial tan
gible ele 8 ents for the sustenance of human
life must come from the earth, and i'll eX-
act proportion to the physical labor applied,
governed and directed by science, (which
is simply an explanation Of facts in the law
of nature will be the yield of the earth in
reward of such labor. A prosperous and
| progressive agriculture is the OASIS OF the
prosperity and greatness Of a nation
Without it, manufactures fail, commerce
lauguishes, trade. traffic, and the common
pursuits Of life wither, science and the fine
arts sicken and die, and the nation itself
is rendered e1teminate and feeble. Hence
the great necessity for preserving, foster
ing and eleyating to the highest pitch OF
perfection, the agriculture of our coun-
try.
| In my next, [ will present my views on
the subject of labor, its introduction, uses,
nc. Respectfully,
II. MUTT.

Collection of Excise Duties.

William Prescott Smith, Esq, collector
Of internal revenue for the third district of
Maryland, visited Europe during the past
summer, and while in England devoted
considerable attention to the subject of col
Letting the excise duty upon spirits in
Great Britain and Ireland. He has en-
bodied the result of his investigations in
an interesting report to Commissioner
Wells. There arc but seven distilleries in
England, and some three hundred in Scot
land and ireland together. The tax levied
upon spirits is equivalent to 50 so per wine
gallon, and the measures taken by the
Government to secure its payment are very
stringent, amounting to a complete system
of espionage and custody of the distilleries.
The character of appointing and tenure of
office are necessary elements of the success
OF this system, which Mr.. Smith adverts to
at some length, and his suggestions cannot
fail to have weight with practical men.

The Southern Judiciary.

1t would seem that the civil courts are
gradually heing practically abolished in the
South, under the operation OF the Military
Bills and the tyrannical orders of the com
manders.
In this State, two of our most able and
efficient judicial officers-Judges MEKRIMoN
and FowLE--have resigned, and their places
cannot be filled, on account of the required
oath of Office Indeed, the place of the
former was temporarily supplied, but in
firm health and advanced age has compelled
the resignation of Judge LITTLE, and we
filled by lawyers Of character and learning
who could take the test-oath, and are will
ling to assume the responsibilities of the
positions. In South Carolina, one Judge
has been removed for not obeying the mill
tary edicts, and another resigned because
he was unwilling TO do so. General POPE
has removed one in Georgia for similar
reasons. We have already announced the
resignation of Chief-Justice HANDY, of the
Supreme Court of mississippi, and We now
learn from the jackson Clarion that Judges
ELLErT and HARRIS, the remaining Judges
Of that Court, have resigned, leaving the
State without Supreme Court, with no
possible chance OF the Governor making
such temporary appointments as will be in
keeping with the dignity of the position,
or consistent with the important and re-
sponstble duties dc7olving upon such high
judicial officers.
Thus we see, day after day, the welfare
of the country-allthe conservative features

tor of RadicaIiSm

Our West Indian Purchase

The President informs Congress in his
late message that treaty has been conclu-
ded with the King of Denmark for the ces-
sion of the Islands of st. Thomas and St.
Johns to the United States. The two
islands thus proposed to be purchased from
Denmark belong to the group called the
Virgin Islands. st. Thomas contains forty
five square miles and twelve thousand
eight hundred inhabitants, and st. John
forty-two square miles and twenty-five
hundred inhabitants Neither of these
islands possess rich soil, bat they will
prove invaluable to the United States as
naya! stations and coaIing depots. for which
their purchase was intended. They pos
sess but little or no value to Denmark, as
that government can well afford to part
with its West Indian possession for the
large sum doubtless agreed upon. We
take it for granted, in face of the econorni-
cal reform which has seized many Sena-
tors, that the sum asked for will be appro-
priated and the purchase confirmed. We
hope that the mother government will treat
more kindly the new citizens of the United
States than she has some OF her old ones.

The Cotton Tax,

It is said that the action of the Commit

to postpone the reduction till after the crop
of 1867 was stimulated by the Treasury De
partment 1t was understood that they had
agreed upon reduction at their first meeting,
and the postponement was unexpected and
caused by influences subsequent to the
original agreement.
This conclusion, followed 10y the hasty
approval of the House Of this recommen-
dation is sincerely to be regretted, and
must exert baneful influence in all bust.

The Wealth and Growth of the Country
Mr.. JOSEPH S. WILSON, Commissioner Of
the General Land Office, III his just com
pleted report, states that there are now
thirty-seycn thousand miles of completed
railway in the United States, which is al
the rate of thousand miles year since
the work of constructing them was begun.
There are in the course Of construction at
the present time about eighteen thousand
miles additional. Mr.. WILSON asserts that
the domestic trade Of the United States is
now worth five billions of dollars. Speak
ing of the Pacific railroads, now in process
of construction, or projected, he claims
that the trade Of tho Indies, Of China, of
Japan, of all the Eastern world, must flow
into this country. We are now, he says,
three thousand miles ahead Of England in
our routes to China, japan and the Indies.
The command of their trade will reYolu-
tionize the commerce of the world, and
transfer the great commercial and financial
centre of christendOm from London to New
York. Mr.. WILSON estimates that there is
room enough on the great Pacific slope for
forty new States. He thinks that by the
commencement OF the next century we will
be united country of one hundred States,
with the control of all the great treasure
shipments OF the world. He says this coun-
try has commenced her grand imperial
course, with the control of the Eastern
trade in her power, and that the immigra-
ton and natural growth of the country will
place us at over one hundred millions of
people by the year 1900.
In view of these great and not extrava-
CANT calculations, how contemplate and
evanescent appear the things that now dis
turb and embarrass us SO seriously. What
an ephemera and CIPHER is the negro even
in the near future of the country, and how
silly it is in him to be using his little mo-
ment of power to make All enemy of the
great white race that is to rule this coun-
try with sway to which the negro, gen
Grafton hence, will be no greater impedi-
ment than the worm is to the progress of
the locomotive. .-1

Ex-Prosidcnt Davis and the Catholic


After the postponement of the trial of
President Davis in Richmond last week,
he spent some days with his friends of that
city before leaving for Baltimore where he
now is.
On Thursday evening in company with
Judge Ould, Mr.. Davis visited the rooms
of the Catholic Orphans Fair, on Nam

ing incident occurred. The Wing of Sat
2rday says :
Whilst he was enjoying the delicacics at
the supper table, the ladies and gentlemen
present agreed TO rattle off a most beauti-
full cigar stand with musical box attached,
which had been sent, with any other hand

winner to present it to him. The rattle oc

man from Baltimore, Mr.. -, who re-
quested that Miss NJ G.. H, the inter
esting young lady who was instrumental in
getting up the rattle, should present it il

Miss M, approaching the eX-Presidcnt,
said :
Mr.. Davis In the name and at the request Of
the gentleman who won the prize, and Of those
ladies and gentlemen who contributed, | present
you this token of our respect for you, the Prcsi-

hope you will accept it, We wish from our hearts
