rRIMACULATE MASSACHUSETTS,


The Massachusetts newspapers mention
a melancholy case of insanity from over
work, which has just occurred at Wor-
cester James Preston, aged about 10,
was employed in the Quinsigamond Wire
Works. For two years he has worked
regularly eleven hours a day, and each
alternate week the same number of hours
at night He did not attend school at all,
and his employer was thus guilty of a
violation of statute law, for which we
are glad to learn he is TO be indicted.
The poor boy had parents, but they did
not interfere. The mania of the lad is
said to be. of a hopeless character; and,
altogether, a worse case of cruelty TO a
child we do not remember to have heard
of.-NetO York Tribune
The case of this lad is but a sample
of thousands of similar ones, says the
Rochester onion, that continually exist
in the factories of the wealthy and tariff
protected manufacturers of Massachu-
sets, and that donot terminate in insanity
or death, simply because the mind and
the body are strong enough 10 bear their
burden without breaking This is fact
repeatedly shown by Trustworthy news
papers, and even by official reports. True,
there is alawupOn the statute book against
such inhumanity, but Il is a dead
letter. The men who are guilty of
the crimes above depicted are the
men who make the bodies that make
and have the administration of the laws.
If the boy James Preston were only a
negro, and had been worked to a loss of
reason by some Southern planter, how the
Tribune would howl, not in brief and
tame paragraph like the above, but in
columns of special correspondence and
editorial denunciationl And how sum
ner and Wilson, the Senators from Mas
sachusettS, would weep and gnash their
teeth in Congress, and call upon the fed
cral government to raise lis heavy hand
and redress the wrongi But the poor boy
Preston has the misfortune 10 be white,
and his case receives but "a passing notice,
and is in a day forgotten. Immaculate

WHAT THE CONFEDER ATE.
LEADERS HAVE DONE.

The great Confederate leaders have
subsidized into the quiet walks of private
life. An inquiry into their present
whereabouts shows that they are gener-
ally engaged in obtaining livelihood and
in furthering enterprises for the advance
mcnt Of the industrial interests of the
South, without any apparent aspirations
beyond. This is an acknowledgment of
submission 10 the authority of govern
ment consistent with their professions.
None are more earnest than they in seek
ing to restore the country to a prosperous
and happy issue; none more devoted TO
the encouragement of productive indus
try. IN his recent address at the Georgia
State Fair, Gen Wade Hampton, inspeak-
ing of the education of the young men Of
the South, said he should recommend
thorough education in agriculture, com
merce. civil and mechanical engineering,
and mining, and applied chemistry; and
added Could such course Of instruc-
ton be generally adopted throughout the
| South, and the facilities for obtaining it
| he placed within the reach of our young
men, we should find among those who
are soon TO take our places men not
only qualified TO develop all of the re-
sources of our country, but competent to
shape lis destiny for all honorable and
| noble ends Touching the labor of the
South, Gen. Hampton stated that his
cold slaves are Cultivating the land on
which they have lived foryears, and there
has been a constant and marked improve
ment in their industry in each year since
their emancipation, though they have not
vet attained the same efficiency as laborcrs
as they formerly possessed" and that he
had promised TO put mp for them a
school house and church, and TO pay a
| portion of the salaries of their teachers; "
and argued that "such a system, if gen
orally adopted, would tend greatly to fix
the laborers 10 the soil, and would, by
adding to their content and enjoyment,
result in vast ultimate benefit to
the landlord. Commenting on these
statements, the Chicago Times says
at is not strange that Wade Hampton
should so deal with his negroes and speak
concerning the treatment the race should
receive in the South. He has been guided
by cultivated intellect and a kind and
honest heart, and his ideas of the course
which should be pursued toward the
blacks. and the friendship lac feels for
them, arc shared by the majority of those
who are generally termed CoEfe(srate
leaders In our late civil war, Hampton
was prominent among those leaders. lie
was the last to yield TO the onion armies.
He fought them with a skill, courage and
persistency which eNtorted thcir adInira
ton. He only yielded when oyerwhelm-
ing numbers, and starvation in his little
band Of followers taught him that fur
Their resistance would only result
in useless sacrifice of life.
When he surrendered, he said he
would implicitly obey the rightful
authority Of lhe federal govern
ment, and in all things conduct himself as
a true and faithful citizen He was emit

him to be an honest man. He believedin

The Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore Gazette states that there is
serious talk among Radical Senators and
Representatives of restoring the Tenure
or-Ohicc law 10 its original state II was
concocted TO hamper Andrew Johnson,
and uron the advent Of Grant some Of its
more Objectionable provisions were
stricken ont. il is now alleged that in
fine matter of officials, the bulk OF Grant ;
appointees, since the adjournment OF Con
rrcss. have been quite as Objectionable to
The leaders as those Of his predecessor.
The correspondent thinks there is no
doubt that many of the suspended civil
officers will be restored by the action OF
the Senate, under the law as it stands.
Many of these gentry are already upon
the spot, urging investigation into the
relative merits of the dismissed and ap-
pointed. A very pretty little rumpus is
on the taps.

TIE STATE F1NAruEs.

We have delayed until the last moment
the expression of an opinion upon the
question of taxation. The subject is one
of such Importance, and surrounded byso
many difficulties, that we have hesitated to
form an opinion until we felt that longer
delay would have been culpable.
From what.we have heard and read,
the discussions in the Senate have been of
a very interesting character. Il is proba-
bic that they are not yet terminated in
that body. Our own views win be diff
IDENTIFY expressed. ~
We start with a proposition which
we have hitherto announced: that
the hesviest tax does not pro-
duce the greatest amount of revenue.
That, we illustrated by the revenue tax
on whisky, which is $40, 600, 600 greater
at fifty cents on the gallon than il was at
the tax Of two dollars per gallon. The
simple reason is, disguise it as We may,
that, at the lower rate, it pays to be hon
est AT the higher rate, the re-
verse is true There is no principle
of Scripture more directly applicable
to the present age than that
teaching of the Lords prayer, we say it
with due reverence, which proclaims the
high and holy sentiment, LEAD US not
into temptation" t
We have also said in former article:
''To say we cannot pay, is one thing. To
say we win not pay, is another. But, if
driven 10 point where we cannot pay,
it win then be much easier for US to say
we win not pay"
Having these two expressions clearly
before us, and bearing constantly in
mind the facts and figures which we
have from day to day presented to our
readers, we come to determine what
shall be done to preserve the credit of the
State and pay off its just Indebtedness.
Here there are a multitude of questions,
varied and complicated, which press upon
US. There are our Railroads, School
Fund, Penitentiary, State tax on really, on
personally, on privileges, the merchants
tax, the impoycrishment of the people
and many other points of consideration,
which come rushing upon US with IA
pidity and force which bewilder and
amaze. Truly, our Legislature has be
fore it a Herculean task How best 10
perform it, we propose, perhaps to-mor-
row, respectfully To suggest.
