SCARCI7Y OFLABoR SOUTH.


Anew cry comes up from the South that
of scarcity Of labor. We hear it with sat
isfaction. 1t will result in impressing on the
minds of the Southern planters the value of
labor, which is the first step towards giving
to it that honor and respect which it has
been the fashion at the South to withhold.
Scarcity of labor means decent treatment,
and decent wages to the laboring class, and
respectful treatment and fair wages must III
timately introduce into the laboring class
these lounging ruifians, a coarse breed be-
tween Sasor0ni and JdndiHi, whose exist
ence has always been burden and disgrace
to the section. 1t also means IN end to ku
Kluxism and negro outrages. Under the
old regime, The death Of negro was con-
sidered great pecuniary loss the commu-
nifty will now begin for the first time to I'M
derstand that it loses as much money by the
death Of an industrious free colored man, as
it did in the past by the death of +" likely
darkey," and if the class we have spoken Of
does not go to work, 1t will be at least
taught by the administration Of law, under
the pressure of somewhat enlightened pub
lie opinion, that it must find other game to
hunt than " ringers"
| Whatever inconvenience and present loss
may be the result of the existing scarcity of
labor in the South, it cannot but ultimately
result to the advantage of the cotton grow
ing States. We shall, of course, hear anew
of the necessity of importing labor, and a
new impetus may be given to Koopmans-
chaps vile Coolle traffic, but the South will
find, after all, that is not the true remedy.
Human needs take precedence Of all others
and the necessity Of development, the
"demands of trade and all such things
shrink into nsgniilcance before the aeces.
sity Of The people cho occupy The soil
, getting a comfortable tiuiag from Il, T,
do this, they must be taught and encouraged
to labor, and not be pushed aside into idle
ness. They will have their living somehow
and if they do not get it through honorable
toll, they will get it through beggary o
a crime. immigration is no remedy for Iii
. existing evils in the South. There is bu
!, one remedy, and that is justice, that jus
:, tice which shall lead to recognition OF til
n fact that "the laborer is worthy of his hire,
b and is entitled to life, liberty, and the pun
y suits of happiness, and all other righ,
u claimed for man, as such.

Au Inc dent tm the Enr,y History OF
Greenbacks,

Texts of Scripture have often been in
scribed upon coins. One of the most re-
markable is on copper coin issued by the
papal government, on which are the words,
We p0bis djUitibus-"Woe to you who are
rich y When the greenbacks were first
issued by the United States, MIR. Chase, then
Secretary of the Treasury, consulted, among
others, the president Of one of the Phiade-
ahia banks ! i regard to placing some motto
upon Them such, for example, as has since
been impressed upon the five cent pieces

raj Scriptual texts that had occurred to him,
the Secretary asked our bankers opinion

Inc Philadelphia papers speak of an ex-
pcrinental trial At Trenton, N. j., on Thurs
day, OF an electric apparatus for switches
and drawbfidges which has been introduced
by the Camden and Amhoy Railroad Com
pany as an additional surety for the safety of
their trains, and to prevent careless or reck
less NEGLECT by their employees to whom is
entrusted the responsible, even though
humble duty Of managing the switches and
lurnouts. The North American says an ex-
animation Of the means employed shows
this new process TO BE- so simple that il sur
prises one that ii has not sooner been made
use OF. Electricity is the controlling power
which Indicates the condition of the track,
and this is dome by connecting the switch
with the signal, sufficiently distant to enable
the train 10 be stopped in ample time, no
matter how great the running speed, by a
magnetic current automatically regulating

the breaking of the wire, or any other in
completeness, the circuit is broken and the
dangersignal springs into place. 1t may
happen that the switch is all right, but some
accident interieres with the working of the
electrical apparatus, in which case red is
shown and the train is stopped--a delay Of
so little moment that it is immaterial. In
short, the invention, instead Of accounting
everything safe until il is found to be other
wise, always registers danger until safety is
proved. There can be no doubt OF its etIl-
cheney, so far MS could be seen, and the
demonstration Of lis practical working was

General Bazaine has received orders to
employ artillery if necessary to keep the
streets clear.
An Imperial manifesto has been prepared,
and is ready for publication, but the gov

A NUMBER of New England Clergy men
have inaugurated movement for the doing
away of Thanksgiving day because it has
ceased to be observed as season of humilia-
ton, fasting and prayer. They doubtless
belong to class, now happily almost ex-
tinct, which thinks that self abasement is
the most acceptable worship his creatures
can offer God. We never heard that fasting
and humiliation were any part of the duties
of thanksgiving day, but considered as an
occasion for thankfulness and joy.

SOME OF THE PAPERS are making quite a
noise about the contrast between the action
Of the American and British governments,
in regard to Cuban privateers. The Cuba,
seized by our government, is still held in
custody; the Lillian, seized by the British
government at Nassau, has been already
released. The papers ask, with an air Of
wonder, why this difference? The answer
is very simple. England is acting towards
the insurgents in Cuba just as she actet
towards our rebels during the late war. Thu
American government questions the right o
such action, and hence the Alabama claims
1t is now acting toward the Spanish Govern,
ment as it claims it was England's duty to
have acted towards us during the late
rebellion. What wonder is it then that the
two governments do not act similarly
toward Cuban privateers

SMOKE from the locomotive is one Of the
great nuisances of railway travel, but the
smoke has been sensibly lessened hereabouts
since the introduction of coal burning loco

article Of some length on the subject of this
smoke nuisance, says there is no reason why
it should exist at all, as apparatus has been
invented aud is largely used in England, by
which the smoke is consumed, the saving OF
fuel paying Tor the changes in very short
