A New Labor-schemc.

The political economists just now arr all
aloS over the question of how to furnisl. all
adequate supply Of trustworthy labor to the
South, and SO c2pblc the planter, to crop
fuller area, and reap more abundant results.
Tho latest scheme devised 10 accomplish
this end, is copied from The practice prevail
ing in England, where bodies OF men from
Scotland and Ireland make their appear
ancc with the annual harvcsts, help To cut
and gather the same, and then return home.
The 81. Louis Republican calls attention to
the new movement, AMI says: "Our readers
''ure aware that the cotton and sugar crop
care not usually gathered and saved before
''Dccember and frequently not till Fchrua-
cry, the harvest OF these great staples COM
''mencinS only nj the timo in the full when
"lhc grain and grass crops Of The West and
Northwest arc completely gathered. Thus
''what VIC call harvest in this latitude, is en-

'bcgun, and cain-grinding is still Il month
'distant. II occurred TO Southern planters
'that the laborers who had finished the har-
''vcst in the West might be employed to

land q number Of them came to Illinois and
'Indana in October to look for hands. They
succeeded ferond their expectations, and
returned with a force ofindustrious lal orcrs
sufficient TO pick their cotton and grind their

''in some places, leave the plantations at
''thc time when they are most needed. One
''plunter went 10 Chicugo, and chose twenty
six men out Of three hundred applicants
''who offered their services They are TO re-
''nain in Louisiana all thl winter until
april, when, if they desire to, they can re-
'turn to assist i'll putting in the crop in !ili-
'nois." There seems 10 he II determination
on the part of the Southern planters and as-
riculturists to give this plan y fair trial.

Mr. Zattor:-Feeling very much
wronged by the anfuent1als of Oxford,
and very grateful to my friends in To-
ledo, l take this method to express
myself, and lay just record before the
people of Tama county, for future
record against "turn-coats." Without
advice or influence applied for the
Postmastership at Oxford, to aid me
in sustaining paper at that place.
You are all aware of the untiring zeal
which possessed the columns of tie
Southwestern Republican organ of
Tama county, and are also apprlsed Of
the difficulties under which its Editor
was laboring. Every shameful and
unfair means was resorted to by the
remonstrance party to defeat me. 1t
was accomplished; and, but recently,
while l visited that place, Mr.. Helm
took occasion to say that "it was not
me he and Stevens opposed, but those
who aided me- When the fact was
known that l did not belong to any of
their cliques, this reason is shallow
one, and Is only another proof that
there must be strong affirmation bind
ing .feo together, when they will 60
back on political principles and party
standard to defeat one, in which they
could not find real fault. l feel
greatly wronged, for there IS no one
on which the stigma of that remon-
STRANGE can rest except on me.
The conduct of the influence of that
rcmonstrance party is unworthy the
previous standing of such men; and,
although they will endeavor to cover
it ur, it should ever be kept before the
people of Tama as record against
them, and as a lasting stigma on the
ardor of cliques. There has been am
pie time for them to have cleared me
of any fault, through the columns of
their paper, had they been SO disposed,
but it seems fact that the office seek
ing gents are really glad to get rid CT
one who would have ever stood in
their road 70 popularity, and who
would have doubtless been chosen by
the people, in preference. Such mo-
tives make them still more unworthy
to represent the people.
In justice to my friends at Toledo,
l have written the above explanation.
It is due them, and will justify them
in aiding me as they have done. TO
the Grand Army of the Republic l re-
turn my thanks, of which l am mem
Der, and hope that their numbers will
SO increase that none but worthy men
may be elected to fill offices for the
people. W. NJ PATRICK,

A CORRESPONDENT, whose letter we
print elsewhere, insists that the Jews
did hang, and cites Deuteronomy, xxi,
20, %. Very we'll if they hanged, so
they stoned, burned, beheaded, suffo-
Gated. They punished witchcraft, SAX
bath breaking, idolatry, adultery, all
capitally. They executed false proph-
cts, 'ndutiful children; detiling a priests
daughter was capital offense; SO was
contradicting the consistory. If Chris
tianlty abrosated these savage re,ribu-
tons, why did it not also abrogate the
halter? It our correspondent can find
any authority in the teachings OF our
Savior for hanging, he will be more
fortunate for unfortunate than most
searchers OF Scripture. Meanwhile we

Col. John w. Rankin, one of the
most eminent lawyers OF Iowa, died
suddenly at Keokuk, on Saturday Jul
ly 10. Col. Rankin had been a citizen
OF Iowa for many years He was TEN.
porarily Judge OF his Judicial District
once, and succeeded admirably in that
capacity. He was elected to the State
Senate in his covnty-Lee-in 1857,
and served as Chairman of the Judici-
airy Committee in that Legislature
which passed the body OF laws known
as the "Revision of 1860" of which
many of the provisions were proposed
by him. He was Colonel of the 18th
infantry, Iowa Volunteers, but his law
partner, the Hon. Samuel f. Miller,
having been appointed Associate Jus.
tice OF the Supreme Cont, Colonel
Rankin resigned and returned to his
practice, entering into partnership
with the Hon. George W. McCrary,
now representing the First Iowa Dist
riot in Congress. Colonel Rankin was
not specially successful either as SOL
der or politician, but he was as sue.
cessful a lawyer as any man in the
State. He had, IN fact, a wonderful
capacity as lawyer. In social life he
was genial and warm hearted. He
was about forty-six years of age
Hosts OF friends, and bar and bench Of
his State universally will deplore with
deep sincerity the untimely death of
John w. Rankin Chicago Post.
