We have a good country, as
good as any on the Globe, and
wisdom would dictate that we
should content ourselves and
use every effort to redeem it
from the hands of it's political
destrOyers aud make it what
we can so easily do, a happy
and prosperous State. Our
lands are cheap-our facilities
great-Our markets numerous
our climate salubrious-our
soil adapted to the growth of
every production raised be-
tween the 31st and 10th Iati-
tudes-in a word, we possess
more advantages. all in all,
than any people under the sun,
and there isno goodreason why
we should spend time aud mon
ey in the hunt of a better land.
Contentment, industry, and an
adaptation of ourselves both in
habit and in the cultivation and
productions of our soil to the
changed state of affairs, will
bring us wealth and peace OF
mind.

CoTroN SpINNING-An ex-

COTTON SPINNING-An ex-
change thinks: Some of the
statements made at the recent
Charleston Industrial Oonven-
ton, point. to the fact that cot
ton spinning IS likely to be-
come exceedingly profitable at
the South. A factory in South
Carolina, sent packages of yarn
to England lastspring, and sold
them there at a profit of 44 cts.
per pound or about II per ct.
on the cost Of manufacture. 1t
appears that these yarns can be
made 5 cents per pound cheap
er than at the North, and when
sent here for sale, after paying
the usual commissions, have re-
turned a profit to the maA4lfac-
.turers OF 10 cents per pound.
1t is said that a Northern man
6ufaetufer who. had observed the
success of-the Southern factor
les during the periods of de-
preston at the North, and had
started an experimental estab-
lishment in Georgia, which
yielded $4,000 profit from only
Is frames, or $500 spindles,
while his other factories paid
mo profit, has moved his entire
manufacturing business to the
South. 1t is estimated that the
principle of manufacturing
goods in the region where the
staples are produced, if applied
to Southern cotton, would read
lily save from 100000 to So
900, 900 per annum to the South.

POLITICAL Disabilities.

The kilograms from Washington pub
Eshed in the UNION AND AMERICAN of
yesterday confirm the private intelli-
gence which We had before received rela-
tive to the improbability of the passage of
an act of General Amnesty.
The leading Radical members of Con-
gress have again and again said that they
would cordially support a bill removing
the disabilities of all who would make
application to Congress for that purpose.
That was the position of Mr.. Butler, of
Massachusetts, upon the introduction and
passage of the last amnesty bill.
Hence we have urged that it was
good policy for all prominent Confeder-
ates, laboring under disabilities, to make
the application. Whether that applics
ton be granted or rejected, those Radical
members of Congress viii be silenced,
who oppose a General Amnesty because,
as they allege, they are thus thrusting
unasked q removal of disabilities upon
those who took an active part in behalf
Of the late Confederate States. The
Fourteenth Amendment, however incorrect
in principle and injurious in operation,
must be accepted as part of the Consti
tuition of the United States, As the sur.
estmeansOf Fastening General Amnesty
We have favored special application by
those under disabilities.

SAVE IT.

Mr. Spinner, the Treasurer of the
United States, one of the most devoted
friends of the National Bank system, in a
secret letter admits that the denial of the
right to issuspaper money by the National
Bank, and iKlieu thereof the issuance of
the paper currency by the Government
itself, would save to the people gin inter
est from twenty to thirty millions of dol
lars in interest annually" Twenty to
thirty millions of dollars in interest
annuaIIg ---is-za s-a-~s-s-7- large Nrnotint
to save to the people of this
heavily taxed country. 1t is the last
feather that breaks the camcl's back. So
every feather that is removed from the
-burdened camel WILDE of more relief
to him than the same number of pounds
when he is not suffering from an unusual
weight But it is not Inc this respect
alone that the change from National
Bank currency to greenbacks will be a
relief to the people. The National Banks,
the railroads and bond holders have the
nation by the throat, and everything that
can be said or done 10 loosen the grip
win be a public benefit. They to-day
control the legislation of Congress, vote
away the Public lands and the public
funds regardless of the interests OF the
taxpayers, disturb the popular repose
like night mare, make trade, commerce,
agriculture, and manufactures, feverish
and uncertain. Hence for more than
one reason, we insist that the twenty to
thirty millions of dollars in interest
spoken of by Mr.. Spinner should be saved
10 the people.

Tennessee out of one hundred thousand
dollars, and which they have attempted
to consummate by sdbornation of perjury,
if not in fact guilty themselves of per
jury, and that the Representatives of the
people would be guilty of gross derelic-
ton of duty if they do not by all legal
means endeayor to protect the tax payers
of the State from loss because of such
illegal and fraudulent proceedings.
The committee are of the opinion, and
so report, that the State of Tennessee,
having now, for the first time, through
its legislative department, discovered and
exposed the fraud by which the wrong
was perp ,trated, have the legal right to
annul and disaffirm, within a reasonable
time, the contract so made, and es-
pecially can the State of Tennessee be
protected by legislative acts, as against
having the bonds TO pay. Inthe opinion of
the committee, the purchasers ofsaid bonds
can, in no sense, be considered bona fide
purchasers who purchased them from The
original parties to whom said bonds were
issued, or from their agents at less than
par, because under the law, which e'l
are presumed to know, there was at
tached 10 their sale the express condition
that they should not be disposed of at
less than par.
The committee f. Ell that in the passage
of the bill, as recommended, no wrong
can be done to any one, but great good
will result to the people of the State. Ii
is not the expression of Legislative opin,
| ion; our action is not conclusive. A
party feeling dissatisfied with our decisions
can resort to the comts, and as it is 6
legal question, we wish to protect the
State against voluntary payment by it
officers and agents.
The committee also report resolution
making it the duty of the District Attor
ney to prosecute to the extent of the law
all of the parties engaged in this gross at
tempt TO swindle and defraud the State.

TIE Philadelphia Inquirer (Republi-
CAM says that "greater Generalization
has been produced in this country by the
income tax law than any other which has
been enacted to govern people," and it
"hopes that, although the committees
having charge of this subject in the Senate
and House seem disposed to force it upon
thepeople despite the manifestations of
the whole country, that the majority of
the Senate and House will have sufficient
influence to resent the high-handed dicta-
tion." We regret that our Philadelphia
contemporary has not yet learned that
manifestations of the whole country
have but little to do in shaping the action
of Congress. The army of tax gathererF,
who are scattered over the country nearly
as thick and quite as pestiferous as the
locusts of Egypt, have far more power
over Congress than the manifestation"
aforesaid.

wHATs WILL BE THE FUTURE
OF ENGLAND

This question begins to assume ~ omi-
nously definite shape. England is fast
losing the pre-eminence in manu-
factuIes she enjoyed Thirty years
ago. Then she was the great workshop
for the continent, and, to a good degree,
for the world. Now rivals and for
midable competitors are springing up in
all directions. IN Belgium and France
and Germany skilled workmen, trained N
practical mechanical schools, are surpass-
ing the English wOrkmen, who have
never enjoyed the advantages of training,
and displacing their wares. Even the
London Engineer admits that the Ger
mans understand the art of extracting
metals from the ores much better, and
are underselling the English by cheaper
ing the process. There has Teen great
alarm in England lest the coal mines
may give out, and give a death-blow to
the industry of the nation. But while
anxiety on this point has been allayei by
scientific investigations, the fears are
taking a new direction. The copper
and tin and lead mines have
been worked to so great
depth that they can no longer compete
in cheapness of production with other
na1ons. The Chairman of the Liverpool
Chamber of Commerce remarked at
recent meeting: america, France and
Germany are excelling u.s." While the
manufacturing interest languishes, paup-
erism increases. The poor laws work
badly. They fail 20 help many of the
deserving, and destroy in others the spirit
Of self-reliance. The number of depend
ents on charitable aid enlarges annually,
and neither the government provision
nor the immense sums raised by private
efforts meet the urgent demand Public
men and statesmen are alarmed at The
condition of the poor, and are organizing
q vast system of emigration to relieve
the pressure. Among those eager to
emigrate are many of the best classes of.
workmen. They despair of success at
home, and hope to improve their fortunes
abroad 1t is probable that English in
telligence and energy will contrive some
plan for meeting the present emergency
and directing the national industry into
new and productive channels. But the
present social condition is not encOurag-
ing and must excite grave apprehcnsions
in far-seeing statesman like Mr.. Gladstone
and Mr.. Bright. r-s
