Ierest "A little more capacity for reading

emancipation from his early prejudices. We
are in hopes, however. that the ex-President
will succeed In securing his return to his
old place in the Senate. Could he have
been sure Of either army or people. beyond

failed, no matter how well he might have

county Officer holding bis Office BY dep

had last evening, it being a rule Of tina,

shall occur in the community without

A great many pertinent and impertinent

member, Pickwick by name, who de.
claimed himself as follows: ~ con-
slider it entirely out of place for citizens
to take an officer to task for absentiDg
himself from the business of the Office,
to which he has been elected by the SOW
ereign'y Of an enlightened people. The
laws Of our State provide that certain
officers may appoint deputies. At the
time of election there may appear no
probability of an officer leaving his
county, but such contingencies may
occur MS will draw him away, for in.
stance q county like White Pine, may
be born, mature and die in six months,
and why should not all citizens have
an equal share of it while it lasts.
Moreover, we all know that both State
and county Offices have been run almost
entirely BY deputies, and we'll run too.
l conteud, gentlemen, that just SO long
as State or county officer complies
with the law, that is, visits his county
seat once in three months, be has a
perfect right to leave all the business
of his office to his deputy. Now, gen.
tlemen, suppose the Superintendent of
Public Schools, Who, by the way, is
allowed deputy, sees fit to absent
himself from that responsible Office,
and pay to his deputy part, or even
the whole of bis quarterly salary, is
that officer to be charged with neglect
Of duty, or be blamed for disregard of

liberality Certainly not. A |

xxaaeAeA1xsr coeI1x LABOR:

1
| RentlemGa who went to South Car
olisa in 1865. and bought plantation
furpisbes the New York Times with
some information as to the relative
cost of cooiie and negro labor. He
says that the present wages of "full
hand" amounts to about 500. On the
coast and islands of South Carolina the
planters pay from $50 10 $50 per annum
with the usual rations, viz: three pounds
of bacon, one peck of meal or grist, one
quart of molasses and a pint of salt,
per week, and such quarters as The
plantations afford, a garden spot, and
from one half to one acre of land for
bis corn and potatoes. Where the
bands are employed BY the year, they
perform task-work. These tasks are
The same they performed for their old
masters, and are the only relic of the
old regime that they will recognize. The
tasks are not heavy, asd good hand
can, by going to the fields at daylight,
get through his task by noon, and do il
well. The balance of he day they de-
vote to their own corn and potato
patches.
On the other hand, the coolie costs,
for transportation to this country and
profit 10 the importer, one hundred
dollars. His wages amount to Sl2 to
81 per mouth. His ratious cost about
$40 year. Aside from the first outlay,
therefore, the coolie costs from Sls4 10
$500 a year. The only advantage the
planter has is that he can keep his
coolies in the field all day while be can
only keep his negroes at work half
day, or its equivalent. The writer
links this advantage will not offset the
additional expense, because the coolie
cannot accomplish as much, the first
year at least, as the acclimated and
experienced negro, and he adds the re
mark that 1.-The negro physically, moral
y and mentally, is by far superior to
the coolie, and if concitiated and fairly
dealt with by the planter, is the cheap
est and most Intelligent; laborer for the |
South"
In answer to those who charge the |
! gro with indleness and prof igacy,
be writer in the Times says that it was
not the coolie, not the white man, but |
the negro who raised last years crop of
500 600 bales of cotton, and who is |
raising the anticipated 5000, 900 this
eur. And be adds that if we want
600, 900 bales next year, we have only
o advance the requisite capital to
Southern planters, aud they will be
orthcomlng without the help Of the
.oOlie.
