Peonage.

Slavery being abolished the plant
crs of the South desire as the next
best substitute a system of peon-
age, similar to that of Mexico, and
known as the system Of Mexican
slavery. 1t consists in the planters
managing to keep the laborer in his
debt-thus destroying his indepen-
dence and thus compelling him to
accept such wages as he sees fit to
prolier. The failure Of the cotton
crop, under the arrangements under
which it was raised in many parts
of the South, has left the negroes in
deb; to the planters, and they, quick
to take advantage of such a state OF
affairs, use it to bring about a state
of pconagc, The Memphis Post
says Planters meet and resolve
that they will have nothing to do
with them unless the eolorcd people
will voluntarily adopt the relation
to them Of semi-serVitude. The
low price Of cotton has broightthe
laboror out in debt. The planter
has gathered and disposed ofthe
crop, and tells him he has no fur
tber use for him, but he can remain
on the place and work out his in
lebtedness at q rate Of wages which
will take him four years to release
himself from the obligations incur
red in ono. The colored laborer is
IN distress, with q family dependent
upon him and must accept of the
terms imposed upon him, and a.
system of peonage is inaugurated.

OUR TURNPIKEs.

Whoever supposes our new turn
bike roads win stand the winterand
spring rains, under the wheels of
heavily loaded wagons, without be-
coming badly cut into ruts, is, in
our opinion, going to be badly dis
appointed. The grading Of these
roads was mado during the Summer
and Fall, and was loosely thrown
up, and the gravel put upon the
grading equally loose, neither hay!
ing had time to settle and become
compact. The water, settling down
through the gravelinto the grading,
must necessarily soften the whole
road. bed, until time and wear shall
have settled the whole compactly
together, when the water will I'LL
dOubtedly pass Immediately from
the surface Of the road to the side
bitches.
Wnen a rut gels cut in the gray
el, it will hold the water, end every
wheel that runs in it will increase
the size of the breach, until 1t will
become almost impossible, and viii
require a heavy expenditure Of
cash to repair it. This will be a
natural consequence upon a new
rond loosely thrown up.
Now it seems to us that as soon
as these roads are accepted by our
proper officers from the hands of
tho contractors, a system should be
adopted by the several township
Trustees, through whose districts
the several roads pass, to put
them in repair Immediately
when break through the gravel is
made, and thus stop o continual
wear that would otherwise result
from continual travel. 1t can be
done then at comparatively small
cost to what would be required, II
permitted to remain unadjusted un,
I'll the roads become almostimpass-
able. That trite old maxim,
"a stitch in time, saves nine,'
is appropriate in this respect.
If the Trustees in each township,
would take charge of the roads
within their respective townships,
and be prompt in making repairs,
the roads may be kept in good con
dition, and save thousands Of dol
lars to the tax payers Of the coun-
ty Keep tho wagon ruts filed with
gravel as soon as they are made,
and keep hhe water from standing
on the roads or IN the side bitches,
and you will secure good roads
After year or two, when the
gravel and the grading become
compact, and the water shall run
Off from the surface, instead Of set,
Ting down through the gravel into
the road bed, as it does now through
the loose gravel, there will not be a
great deal Of repairing necessary.
But until these new roads become
settled, great care should be taken
in making prompt repairs,
Would 1t not be well for the Le
gislatIre of our State this Winter,
to pass a law authorizing County
Commissioners to levy and collect
a tax upon the tax duplicate Of each
county, not exceeding a fixed per
cont, for keeping free turnpike
roads in repair, in Counties where
such roads have or may be con
struoted !?
Another thing. It would be.well
to get the sides Of the grading set
in sod grass, to preventive washing
Of sand and gravel into the side
bitches.
