Politics VS.. Material Interests.

Politics Material interests.
The Nashville Union and Dispatch,
after reviewing the political condi-
ton of the South, givesthe snhjoined
advice to tho Southern people. There
are some truths in the suggestion
made, for we look for but little in
provement IN the various depart
ments OF Southern industry, until
our political equality in the Union
and our just participation in The
affairs OF Government arc fully re
stored to our people. What the
Southern p pie can DO in etfccting
this desirable SC DO not clearly
see; but, us on evious occasion,
we think it wise aud prudent for
them to keep posted on the progress
OF events as they trahspira at tho
seat of Government. They can at
least watch and wait, III the patient
trust that the right VIII ultimately
prevail, even in Congress-:
''We call attention to these gloomy
facts TO make a suggestion, which
will take issue with the advice offered
by those OF Our Southern contcmpo-
raries of the press and others, who
teach that it is the true policy OF the
people of the defeated section to de-
vote their exclusive attention to what
they call Southern nterests-which
means that they shall abandon all in
tercst in pohtical subjects, and fcrego
all desire or expectation OF partici-
pating in the conduct of Govern
ment, and rest content under what
ever form may be set above them.
The material condition will languish
is long as the people arc politically
PROSTATE. 1t was under the bencti-
cent institutions that we lost in the
fortune Of war that we prospered.
We cannot thrive until we regain
them. No amount Of energy and
industry can reinstntc u.s.. unless We
are a free people. Our resources will
be expended in the hewing OF wood
and the drawing Of water for our
political masters. We must attain
political equality in the Government
before we can resupply our lands with
laborers, whether white or black, at
living rates, before we can restore
our financial credit, befores we can
protect ourselves against the cunning
schemes of those who have undone
us. While, therefore, we do not ad-
wise that every man should quit his
Office, his counting-room, his farm
and his workshop, and turn politi-
clan, we do. think it the duty Of every
citizen to inform himself of current
events, and take an intelligent and
active interest lii measures concerted
to regain the full measure Of his po-
litical rights. It is q duty he owes to
himself, to the community suffering
in common with him, and to postcri-
ty. The re-establishmcnt Of these in
their full vigor will be the first and
great step towards the resuscitation
of our dilapidated material condition,
and with them in due time will come
ali that was wont to make us inde-
pendent, respected and proud. We
lost all when we lost political equali-
ty; we shall regain all when that is
restored"

CoEpoREA1 PUNISHMENT. A Wash
ington telegram says:

1nGton telegram says:
The bill introduced into the Senate
Il few days since by Senator Wilson,
providing for the abolition Of cor
poreal punishment in the States lately
in rebellion, contains one remarkable
feature not found in any bill or reso-
luton hitherto presented, and is in the
same spirit with the announcement
Of Mr.. Stevens in his speech day be-
fore yesterday in advocacy Of the b;ll
to provide loyal State Governments
for the South; that, although The
President was Commander-in Chicf
Of Tie Army and Navy, Congress was
his commander, and, please God. he
should be made to obey. In Mr.
Wilson'S bill the following words oc-
cur:-''And he (the Prcsident is
hereby authorized and directed to
instruct the officers Of the army and
OF the Freedmen's Bureau to prevent
the inhict;on of corporeal punish
ment in the FUTURE The custom
has been to authorize and request the
President, but it would seem ,hat
Congress was becoming fearful that
the President could not execute Laws
of this character in good faith; hence
they deem it necessary to commauG
him to enforce all such acts as may
become laws.

CoLUl1DIA.-One of the editors Of tho
Charleston Ne,cs paid :. recent visit to our
city, and he thus speaks of her condition
and future prospects:
columbia is the &C ntre of several rail-
roads, all Of which bring traffic to her
market, and although her facilities arc
no danger that she will be left behind in
the march of time. The Columbia and
Augusta Railroad, which is now in course
of construction, It is anticipated, will do
much for the city, and will add to it's re-
sources in the future. Other projects arc
also entertained which are to share tho
beneficial result of bringing increased
trade and activity to the city, and thus
afford the means OF rebuilding her ruined
streets. This is no Rip Van Winkleish age,
and Columbia is well aware that she must
exert herself in order to prosper. Her
merchants are energetic thorough business
men, and, with her future in their hands,
our capital will soon be rejuvenated, and
become once more the pride and boast Of
the people,
There is q bright future before our city,
if capital mercantile energy and industry
can be brought into full play to aid her
resuscitation. A liberal policy, especially
on The part of capitalists and merchants,
will be the great lever in raising her from
her present PROSTATE condition.

Ruskim ON Judas.

John Ruskin, in the Grown of Wild Olive,
eharacterizes in his trenchant style those who
like to make money as imitators of Judas:
We do great injustice to Iscariot, in think
ing him wicked above all common wickedness
He was only common money-loyer, and
like all money-lovers didn't understand
Christ; couldn't make out the worth of him
or meaning of him. He didn't want him to
be killed. He was horror-struck when he
found that Christ would be killed; threw his
money away instantly, and hanged himself
How many of our present money-seekers,
think you, would have the grace to hang
themselves, whoever they killed? But Judas
was common, selfish, muddle-headed, piIter-
ing fellow; his hand always in the bag of tn e
poor, not caring for them. He didn't under
stand Christ, yet believed in him much more
than most OF us do had seen him do miracles
thought he was quite strong enough to shift
for himself, and he, Judas, might as well make
his own little bye perquisites out of the affair.
Christ would come out of it well enough, and
he have thirty pieces. Now that is the money
seekers idea, all over the world. He doesn't
hate Christ, but can't understand him-sees
no good in that benevolent business; makes
his own little job of it, at all events, come
what will. And thus, out of every mass OF
men, you have certain number of bag men
your free first" men whose main object is to
make money. And they do make it--make it
In all sorts of unfair ways, chiefly by the
weight and force of money itself, or what is
called the power of capital; that is to say, the
power which money, once obtained, has over
the labor of the poor, SO that the capitalist
can take all its produce to himself except the
laborer's food. That is the modern Judas
way of carrying the bag" and "bearing what
is put therein" ..

A TELEGRAPHIC ANECDoTE.-The Buffalo
Commercial Advertiser tells the following:

NSAAASASi"i 1AuNSibAoCi tCiio IuC lUlOWlDg
Some years ago, two operators worked in an
uptown office in Buffalo, and both OF them
chewed tobacco; This latter statement Is nee
essary to the elucidation of the sequel.
One OF them who, for brevity's sake, we
VIII call A, worked East, on what was then
known as the New York, Albany and Buffalo
lines; the other, whom we will distinguish as
D., worked West as far as Cleveland, Ohio, on
the Western Union Company's lines. These
two, who were great chums were in the habit
OF constantly using each others tobacco. so
much that, one fumbling in the others pocket.
wouldfacetiously inquire, "Where do you keep
your tobacco now?" while each considered
his tobacco IS common property.
The desks of these operators were removed
from each other about thirty feet standing at
opposite corners of the room. Now,
"once upon a summer morning.

At the same time telling the Cleveland on
