No Rights.

According to recent decision in one

easc.of the robbery of Chinaman by
negro the Chihaman in California has
no rights which negro is bound to re-

Chinaman, by the laws of California,
cannot testify against Il white man. and
whereas by the Civil Rights bill of Con-
gress a negro las the same civil rights
as q white man, therefore John China

tative of Ohio for nearly twenty years

not calculated, by any means, to increase
our respect for republican institutions.

Linen and Flax.

Great Britain imported so per cent.
less of linen in 1865, than in 1866, the
cause OF which is attributed to increas-
ed local production, particularly in
Ireland. Why should we not grow
flax in the United States? All it re-
quires is a temperate climate, and con-
siderable wedding. In Belgium the
crop exceeds in value the land on which
it is grown, and its cultivation has
reached the dignity Of science, the finest
product bringing from $500 to $500 per
ton. In 1851 patent for "cottoning"
flax was obtained by Chevalier Claus

ifls of the different counties in reference
to outrages by the Ku-KluX. He SAYS
that they are invested with ample au-
thority TO protect the citizens and pre-
serve order, and that if they are unable

White Labor South.

German laborers are heing largely in
troduccd into South Carolina. Anum-
ber of planters met several months ago,
conferred upon the matter, agreed that
white labor would pay, formed an as
ISOLATION, appointed al agent, paid each
hundred dollars as beginning fund,
and the work commenced. The agent
began by getting at first small numbers
six, eight, ten or q dozen at time
and from month to month, brought on a
few more; his number Of emigrant la
borers for January being just fifty. And
thus the work will go on until May or
thereabouts, when the demand for this
year will slack off, to be renewed in the
autumn for next year. Laborers al
ready in service do at least fifty per
cent. more work than negroes. The re-
suit is easy to be seen-the negroes
must give place to the Saxon and the
Teuton. lie must move nearer and
nearer to the coast, where, on account
of the malaria, the whites will be slower
to go. Those persons who expect largely
of the negro, say it will stimulate the
negro to do fifty per cent. more work.
But the stimulus (competition) that was
applied to the negro race for three thou
sand years in Egypt without eevating
him, may be applied to the same race in
Carolina cotton fields with the same re-
| suit, $40.

The White Pine district, in Nevada,
where silver is said to be lying around
loose in large Jumps, has already its
hundreds of pilgrims on the way
Some Of them are from Montana, others
from Idaho. Two years ago they were
in Oregon or in California. Next year
they may be on their way to Arizona

dred will ever accumulate money. They
live always in hope. To-day waits on
tomorrow. Yet they serve an impor-

MORE TAXES.

Increasing the sNational Indebt-
su M edness. Hsdi daY,-
"MkckY writes az follows to the Gin
cinnati Enquirer: .''''''''I ''
There is talk of increasing the taxes.
OF course, they must be increased If the
national blessing"-which, by the way,
is the most effectually disguised "bless-
ing" ever heard offs to be continu-
ed. The debt increases every month
and the revenue falls off-so we must
either have more bonds or more taxes.
That's beautiful condition Of finances
for country four years afier the close
of great war. England has reduced
her debt about fifty million dollars
year since the close of the Crimean
war. The American debt has increased
Just about that amount since the close
of the rebellion. And the finAnciers of
Congress still labor under the delusion
that the people will bear war taxes in
time of peace. Some English statesmen,
after the peace of Paris, thought SO
too. But few years of experience un-
deceived them. Lord Castlereagh be-
gan to speak contemporary of that dig
norant impatience OF taxation which he
noticed in the lower classes, but he had
to change his tune and his budget be.
fore long and look for revenue else
where than to the slower classes"
That "ignorant impatience," which
he affected to despise, became clamor-
GUS after while, and he had to bow be-
tore its dictates. Just SO it will be in
this country. Tie people are getting
heartily sick and tired Of taxes and tar
ifs which plunder the many to enrich
the few, which corrupt the halls of leg:
islation and the offices of the Govern.
ment, and yield no perceptible good to
the masses. which double prices with
out increasing incomes, and make it the
chief concern of poor man to find the
wherewithal to pay the taX-gatherer.
Unjust taxation has provoked more
than one revolution besides that Of '76,
and it is an historical fact worth notice,
that no people have ever yet resisted it
unsuccessfully who have resisted it de-
terminedly. The people of the North
west will, ere long, cease to be tickled
with the laughing gas Of "loyalty,"
which has reconciled them to so many
wrongs in the recent past; and arous-
ing them from its pleasant sensations
will realize the fact that they are bound
hand and foot to the money power Of
New England. The "Lion in Love" is
not q bad fable for illustrating the case.
The West is the lion. lie has recently
become desperately enamored Of the
Yankee damsel, who is just taking ad.
vantage Of his affectionatc disposition
TO despoil him of all the attributes of
his majesty and strength.

GRANT VS.. THE SENATE.

The New York St,lrs thinks that un-
less the friends OF General Grant de-
velop more ,trength and ipfuen in
the Senate in tbe future, than they have
in the past, he Is likely to have anything
but an easy and comfortable existence
as President. In their Jealous deter
mination TO snub President johnson,
we are reminded, the Senate and House
took extraordinary steps and passed
extraordinary measures, vesting more
absolute power in the Senate than 1t
had ever enjoyed before.
"Power to the, Senate, is like blood
to tiger. 1t has had q taste, and can't
bear to give up the tit-bit. There are
hundreds of men in office, whose official
heads ought to roll in the gntter of pri-
vate life but unless the Senate shears
off its recently grated power, Grant
cannot remove them. He is Just al
much in a corner as Mr.. johnson. To
be sure, he just now is on the best
of terms with Congress, but how long
can he be if he determines to admins
ter the duties of his Office in practical,
honest, non-partisan manner?
AS little by little the power of the
Executive is taken away, his influence
will be diminished, and his ability for
good will be cramped. If the control

.tin'W decision, rest with the Senate. to

and personal whims of men will find
full opportunity, and the disgraccful

Sweet Potatoes.

The sweet potato is one of the crops
upon sandy, loamy soils, that yield in
credibly where attention is paid them,
and return fine profit selling usually
at the beginning of the year at from 81
to 81 90 per bushel, and from 50 to So
at bedding season. Great difficulty is
encountered in keeping them, as they
must be kept at uniform temperature,
and are very sensitive to frost. The
most successful mode for keeping them
is the old pioneer "dirt bank" or hill
covered with common boards to protect
from weather and rain. tt'hh

The Seven Stages of Reputation,

The Seven Stages of Reputation.
The United States have already done
very large business in the reputation
of public indebtedness, as will be seen
from the following rather discreditable
summary, which we reproduce from
the Cincinnati Enquirer:
|. They repudiated the Continental
money which carried us through the
war of the Revolution. l...-.
2. The "French Spoliation Claims
previous to 1900, which our Govern.
lnent in a treaty which France agreed
to pay, and received from that nation
valuable consideration OH that account
3. Itlhas repudiated the three hun.
drGd dollar obligation which it made
with those Shareholders who. in the bor-
der States, emancipatcd their slaves in
reliance upon its provisions containeJ j
in Congressional law.
4. 1t has repudiated vast number OF
legal and just war claims upon it,
growing out of the wanton destruction
of private and personal property, which,
in many cases, were taken for public
uses during the late armed struggle be-
tween the States. . .. .'.
5. 1t voluntarily agreed to give a
large number of soldiers their pay in
gold, but it broke faith with them, and
paid in deprecated paper worth but
forty or fifty cents on the dollar. ~
6. The States of Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Indiana--in fact, we believe, all the
States, ,repudiated their agreement with
their creditors to pay the interest OH
their public debts in gold. Instead OF
doing so they paid in greatly deprecia-
ted paper, which was not worth more
than half as much as they had promised.
7. Before the war Mississippi repu-
dated large portion of her State debt.
and for some years Pennsylvania and
Indiana, if not other States, neglected
to pay the interest upon their indebted
ness. '. '''p'I.
In not one of the cases above men,
toned was there half the justification
which would attach to movement OF
the tax-ridden people of Tennessee in
the same direction.
