The Social observation-disclosures.


We doubt whether large portion of the
people of Virginia yet fully understand the
nature of the social revolution that has fallen
upon Us, and the system Of domestic eeon-
omy which we must adopt to accommodate
ourselves to it and to protect ourselves from
its consequences. We have not yet abnll-
doned the system maintained under slavery,
and have not fully cut loose from the ex-
travagance and improvidence that it incul-
Gated. "
Under the new order Of things to which
we must submit, economy should prevail in
everything. The farmer must be sure that
he not only makes support for hisfamily,
but that he makes money enough to pay
taxes and keep his place in repair. He has
no such resource as the increase OF slave
property to make up any deficit which
neglect, improper tillage, Or Wastefll ex-
trayagance may OCCASION. VI -
The first great point is to diminish the
area cultivated, that It may he titled tho

owner Of snch excess should rent or sell

The Troublesome Question.

Mr.. GREELEY, in his speech before the
American Mechanics Institute the other
dsy. referred to the immigration Of work
ing men from England, Ireland. Germany.
and Canada," but did not say anything
of immigration from "Chlna." lie III
deed said from "all parts Of the world )"
hut he did not name China, which is now
particularly prominent, owing to the I'M
portation of Chinese by greedy men TO re-
duce the price of the labor OF our own
race. The Republicans are quite retlcenf
on this subject. Congress gave the cue
when, after striking out the word "white"
from the naturalization laws, they refused
TO allow Chinese to become naturallzed cit
liens. They had no idea of shonldering the
great weight Of the Chinese importation,
notwithstanding they had gone crazy III
their reconstruction policy, and passed
laws that repudiated all distinctions, and
proclaimed human equality and "manhood
suffrage" to all mankind, without respect
to Grace, color, or previous condition of
Servitude."

civilization, and humanity, were drowned
In the defamation Of demagogues and
sanctimonious hypocGites. But, it would
not do for them to show their hands-it
would not do to rest their cause upon the
African alone, for that would he an open
confession OF the sordd nature Of their
scheme. So they took their stand upon the
broad basis Of "the equality OF races and
the super-eminent humbug of manhood
suffrage"
But when it came to the naturalization
laws the trouble Of the Chinaman arose,
like BANoUo's ghost, to disturb their plans.
They struck out "white," and up rose the
ghost of the "Heathen Chinee.' Ordering
out of sight the horrid vision, they event
back upon themselves " to shut it out alto
gethsr. And why? Because, in the first
place.. the Chinaman was unpopular, and
no party can safely take him up. In the
second place, the census told the China
mans story. There were not enough Chi
nese in this country to compensate Tor risk
ing the good will Of the white man. Inc!

could not afford to risk anything upoo'

quoting ssTruthful james," and sayin
that "for ways that are dark, and trick
that are vain, the Republicans are peel

Mn. CHAss.--A Washington letter says
{. Tho intimate friends Of Chief Justice
Chase have given up all hopes OF his 9elne
able to take his seat upon the bench of the
Supreme Court during its present session,
and it is feared that he will never recover
from the serious pai alytic paroXysms which
he has lately suffered SO severely
A Radical paper says: <. .-
"Should Chief Justice Chase resign, as
is now positively asserted, the Hon. T. b.
| Cartier, present Chief Justice of the Su.
| prcme Court Of the District Of Columbia.
| will, it is expected, become Chief Justice OF
| the United States"
Hardly. A jolly joker is CARTIER, but
scarcely likely to be Chief Justice.
Another Washington letter says:
Information has been received that
Chief Justice Chase continues to improve
in health, and expects soon to resume his
seat on the bench"
The reader can believe the story that
pleases him.

have heretofore not only involved expenol-

down as little trying, but it is certainly
easv for men to milk. If the washing be
too heavy, is it not far better to put it out
in the neighborhood than to hire woman
possibly with two or more children, thus
increasing the mouths to feed and the cost
of living much beyond the amount OF the
cost of washing!
With the surrender Of little pride, and
a full conviction of the necessities upon u.s.
there are hundreds of families which, by
adopting these ideas, may not only live bet-

hired persons and their wastefulneSs and

This is the system to multiply crops, to
retrench the cost OF living, and to maintain
personal independence. When our people
come to adopt it with energy and vigilance
they will have accepted the revolution en-
tire, in all its details. 1t involves the neces-
sity of the family putting its hands to much
that has been left to others, and there IS
plenty of the virtues Of fortitude and per-
severance in the State to meet this neces-
sity.
A grand moral effect of system of indus
try and self-independence like this is that it
will not tolerate idleness and vagabondism.
The idler and the drone cannot linger
amongst an Industrious and frugal popula-
ton like this. Such n people must increase
in wealth, and must enjoy contentment-
must swell the power and increase the dig
nifty of the State. Domestic economy Ike
this will purge the State Of useless people
and strengthen the securities of order, pro-
perry, life. and public virtue.
