DO Not Despnirl

DO Not DespnirI i,s, d.
Too many of our people take a
gleeopay view of the condition of the
.Ss55teate, in consequence OF the triumph
OF lradicalism and the results of the
war; Tbut time will rapidly cure both
Of these evils. The virtue, intelli-
gence and wealth of the people, which
remains, will be devoted to the resto-
ration of law and liberty. and ell that
is necessary for our people is to exer-
else a little patience. Let US labor
and wait, and prosperity will surely
come. The natural resources of the
State has been and is continually
being under-rated. The white people
of South Carolina before the war
were richer than those of any other
State in the Union. Any one who
viii consult the statistics of the census
OF 1860 will discover that the average
wealth. OF this State and Louisiana
was much higher than that of the
Northern States. This wealth was
produced from the soil of the State.
Let;none, therefore, be chptivated by
the, tales of the extreme fertility of
the valley Of the Mississippi. What
is there gained by superior fertility is
moro than counter-balanced by the
Enhealthiness Of the climate and un-
certainty of crops, arising from dis
cases incident to animal and vegeta-
BILE life. The wealth of South Caro-
lima lost by the war may be restored
in a few years by proper energy. We
have not a tithe of the difficulties our
fathers encountered. Every point of
the State is or will soon be accessible
by railroads. Our fields are cleared,
and there is space more than sufficient
,forGVe times the labor we can get,
and by the appliances of art and i'm
provements in agriculture, we can
make. two bales of cotton where we
formerly made only half bale. we
have thus far only considered the
State in an agricultural point of view,
because our wealth has principally
been acquired in this line. But a
grand field for enterprise is now open
Cor manufactures and commerce.
Neither of these branches of industry
could prosper before, for we lacked
the dense population, and had to rely
san the muscle of the negro chiefly for
snnr labor. Now there will come per-
sons of capital and intelligence, who
will assay those fields of industry
which have built up barren New Eng
land; and with superior climate and
greater natural advantages, we will
Boon have enterprise and energy to
develop onr resources.
There are many other considera-
Gons not here adverted to, which
should instil hope and confidence in
the future. Another cotton crop will
put our people on their feet, and with
the energy of Saxons, exercised as in
the past. we will soon recover our lost
possessions. And tnen there will be
plenty to do us reverence.

INDUSTRY STILL PAYs.-The Athens
Banner relates m instance of young
man living about twenty miles from
Athens, who leased farm contain
ing 800 or 400 acres, most of it we'll
worn. He worked four or five hands,
made over twenty bales of cotton, q
large crop of potatoes, over 400 bush
els of corn, and with the proceeds of
his crop bought the farm, few days
ago, paying 81, 100 for it. In good
times the place was worth over
$4,000. This is but an illustration of
what well directed industry will do.
anywhere in the South. IF our
young men, instead of looking
towards Honduras or Brazil, would
go to work with energy right here
ut home, they would soon find that it
would pay. Our lands are not yet
exhausted.

DIR. Thomas Sim, and not VIM. Gil
more Simms, the Southern novelist,
as stated in some quarters, is the

commended fer this position by Gen.
Sickles and many other of tho most
Influential officers of the army now

The CHANGE IN THE MAYoRALTY.-
We publish elsewhere the proceed
ings of the special meeting of the
City Council, which was held last
evening, for the purpose of installing
General W. w. Burns, the military
appointee to the Mayoralty of this
city, vice Hon. P. G. Gaillard, re-
moved by Gen. Candy.
In retiring from the executive Office
of our city, Colonel Gaillard carries
with him the sympathy of this entire
community. During his administra-
tion he has won the cordial support
of our citizens, no less by his untir-
ing vigilance over the interests, and
zeal for the prosperity of Charleston,
than by his impartial conduct in
Council and his many social virtues
as an individual.
We tender the incoming Mayor
our cordial wishes that the enjoyment
of his new honor may be character
lied by profit to our municipal affairs
and pleasure to himself. Gen. Burns,
who is native of Ohio, and gradu-
ate of the Academy of West Point,
enjoys brilliant record as q soldier,
and during his sojourn amongst us
has attracted to himself host of
friends and admirers, by his uniform
consideration and courtesy, as we'll as
by his unostentatious efforts to ad-
vance the welfare of the community
in which his lot has been cast.

rails correspondence from Sydney,
New South Wales, is dated January
/. The young prince, Duke of Edin-
burg, was still among the Victorians.
During the festivities on his account,
o ballroom was destroyed by fire,
and four young boys were killed by
an explosion of combustibles ON
board a miniature galatea. New
Zealand and Victoria advices contain
nothing of much interest. A tor
nado had passed over Melbourne and
blown down the walls OF q new town
hall. A snow storm occurred at Ho-
bart Town, in Tasmania, in the midst
of tropical summer. The mouth of
the river Roper had been discovered
by an exploring expedition on the
North coast of Australia.

The BODY OF The LATE EMPEROR
MAXIAnLIAN.-The coffin of the EN-
peror Maximilian has been again
opened to determine once more the
identity of the body. A commission
was also named to draw up protocol
giving a statement in legal form of
the Emperor's decease. Prince Ho-
henlohe, the Marshal of the Imperial
Household, the Minister President
Prince Anersperg, and the Minister
Count Festetites, Vice-Admiral Won
Tegethof, and the former physician
in ordinary to the Emperor Maximi-
lian, (Dr. Basch,) as well as the guar
dian of the Capucin Monastery and
some others were present at the cere.
mony. When the coffin was opened
they saw and expressed their convic-
tion of the authenticity of its con-
tents. The statement which was
then drawn up and signed is pub
lished in the official journal. The
reason for this seems to be to put an
end to the senseless rumors which
were in circulation here.

universally admitted to be essential
to the practical conduct Of govern
ment. they constitute what is equiva-
lent to ntne-tenthS Of the whole popu-
lation. Yet Congress in its plan of
Reconstruction not only sets them
aside as of no account, not only re-
fuses to accept as of the slightest
weight their views and opinions in
regard to the government they are
required &; obey, but IL 30 arranges
the details of reconstruction as to
reduce their influence to the lowest
possible point, and give absolute con-
troll of the State to the most igno-
rant, inexperienced and incapable
portion of its population.
"This is the radical, fatal defect in
the Congressional plan of reconstrfic-
tion; and so long as it is persisted in,
that plan will prove essentially on
utter failure. It may not always
be rejected by the popular vote.
Congress may, by adopting the Iri-
bune's suggestion, force it upon the
Southern States-may make ten
men in South Carolina, tMe State, ,
and give them absolute sway over its
destinies. But this is not reconstruc-
ton. 1t can give nothing of the
spirit of harmony-nothing of the
feeling of the community of interest
on which alone any real union can
be notwithstanding of the con-
tent, the sense of justice and of the
security of personal rights, which
are absolutely essential to perma-
nent, prosperous and beneficient
union of States. How does the Iri-
bune suppose taxes are to be collect
ed-crime punished, equality of
rights secured, the sentiment Of
national interest and national pride
cultivated and strengthened, under
such rule as it foreshadows? Sole
ly, of course, by the armed power of
the nation-by the presence of the
sword and the bayonet in every town
and every precinct of the State which
arc thus to be ruled; by plain, naked
force, just such as rules the people of
Austria, of Turkey and of Russia to :
day.
"It is rather melancholy to reflect
that our Arr erican ideas of Republi-
can Government have come to this;
and that this plan is the one spe-
cially urged by those who claim to be
the friends of progress-the ndvo-
Gates of Republican liberty and of
Democratic institutions throughout
the world"

r. An English cook book describes q
sturgeon as q rare and delicious fish,
and gives various modes Of preparing
it. Served as q fish, however, stur-
geon is regarded in this country as
less palatable than Goldfish, and in
ferior to halibut. It appears, how
ever, that sturgeon can be prepared
by skillful cook, by being we'll

eaters will detect any difference be-
tween it and an ordinary v, al outlet.

DISTRESS AMONG THE WORKING
PEOPLE OF THE NORTH. There is On
unusual amount of suffering and des-
titution among the working people of
the Northern States. It is stated
that at least $50, 900 working men and
women are out of employment in
New York city alone. OF course this
lack Of employment entails an i'm
mense amount of privation. The
New York Post states that it is con-
ceded by those best informed upon
the subject, that with the exception
of the very hard winter of 1876,
restitution was never so general in
that city as at present, and adds:
"The reports from the various mis-
sions and other benevolent societies,
as we'll as those from private indi-
viduals, speak of extraordinary pri-
vations among the poor; including an
unparalleled number of Americans
This winter, for the first time in the
experience of the police, American
mechanics nightly seek the shelter of
the station houses; and not alone for
q night, or in few numbers, but by
dozens, and accompanied in some in
stances by their wives and little chill
dren: In many cases the applicants
Tor shelter are women and children
frequently the widows and orphans
Of those who lost their lives in the
war. Some of these lodge at the
station houses many nights in sue
cession."
The Gloucester Massachusetts,
Advertiser, gives numerous instances
OF destitution among the working
people Ct that place, and makes a
strong plea for their relief. The Fall
River massachusetts, weavers have
taxed themselves two and half cents
loom per month to sustain the
Viewers Union" From the Kit
terry (Maine) navy yard there have
been discharged seventy-fve men,
ship building being full. The Win
sted (Conneoticut) Hoe Company,
manufacturers of Southern hoes.
have stopped work entirely for the
present, throwing about sixty hands
cut Of employment. The Howe Sew
ing Machine Company, at Bridge
port, Connecticut, have adopted the
system OF giving out their work to
contractors, and employ many less
workmen than before to turn ont n
larger number Of sewing machines.
