a YANK TaIcK.-Ono of our pe-
culiar, slub-sided gaunt Yankees late
ly cmigrated aud settled down in the
West. He was the picture of mean
man, but os be put him,c to work in
good earnest to get his house to rights,
the neighbors lent Linn hand. Az
ter he had got everything fixed to his
notion, thought struck him that he
had no chickens, and ho was powerfully
fond of sucking raw eggs. He wa,
too honest to steal them, and too
mean to buy them. At last a thought
struck him he could borrow. Ho
wei + to n neighbor and thus accosted
him:
"Wal, [ reckon you hoin't no old
hen nor nothin' you'd lend mo few
weeks, have you ncighborW
81 will lond you one with pleas
ure," replied tho gentleman, picking
out the very finest in che coop.
Tho Yankee took the hen home.
and then won't to another neighbor
and borrowed dozen eggs. Ic then
set Che hon, and in due course of time
she hatchod out dozen chickens.
The Yankee was again puzzled.
lie could return tho hen but how was
no to return the eggs 7 Another idea
and who ever suw q live Yankee
without one --hc would keep the
hon until she had laid dozen eggs.
This ho did, and then returned the
hen and eggs to their respective own
ers, remarking, as lie did so, oval, l.
reckon I've got as fine dozen of
chickens as you ever laid your eyes
on, and thoy didn't cost we cent,
nuther."

PILLsBuRY AND HIS COUNCIL DOOM
En.-CoLuMpIA, January Tn tho
House to-day, DeLarge gave notice Of
a bill-which, by unanimous consent,
received its first reading-to oxtond
the limits of tho City Of Charleston,
and to provide for the election of mu
nicipal officers therein. The bill pro.
poses to extend tho city limits to the
Six-mile house and to Goose Creek
Parish line, which, it is calculated,
will bring in q large majority of Re-
publican voters. 1t also provides for
q Git! slectio' when the general cloo.
tions occurs. nest Oo,ooer. 1t is al.
Iegeu truor rtto OF ;FsoU-vr sG.oys.prv.. -,
ers of the bill Is to get rid Of tho
present Mayor and Aldermen. Thoy
urge that by change they may get
bettor officials, but cannot get worse.
The bill will pass with hardly a dis
|senting vote, and will receive its Sec
ond reading tomorrow.
The members Of the Legislature
express unqualified disapproval Of she
new license bill passed by Council.
They say that it is unrepublican in
split, placing a monopoly in the
hands Of the rich, because tho poor
cannot afford to take out licenses. III
is further objected, that lawyers liv-
ing out Of Cbarleston can 60 there to
practice and pay no tax, while those
who live there have to pay it. But
the chief cause of disgust with Coun-
Gil is because it refused to allow col
ored people equal rights at places Of

lt'needs no great financial wisdom to
see that the way to high credit is for
tho Treasury to prepare itself to pay
all its debts, as we'll its legal teudor
promises as its bonds; that high
credit is tho condition precedent to a
lowor rate of interest on government
loans, that lowering the rate of inter
est on tho loans will afford great
relief to the people; and that no relief
either to Treasury or people can be
expected from what tends to derangc.
mont or stagnation in the business of
the country.
EARLY RETURN TO SPECIE PAYMENTS
DESIRABLE.
The earliest practicable return to
tho hard money of tho constitution is,
therefore, desirable, as being. in every
way, for the interest of tho people
but this return should be made wisely,
by q process which will not cost need.
less suffering under declared and
fixed policy, intolligiblo to tho whole

the change, whom it comes, shall be
permanent. A rash attempt would,
by it's failure, make our condition worse
than it is now. But no >time should
bo lost in adopting measures which
shall lead by prudent steps to the at
tainment, ut no very distant day,
of result to which sooner or later We
must come.
If tho federal government does not
try to accomplish an earlier return to
the use of gold and silver, without
spreading ruin among The people, it
fails in its duty /; if with its abundant
revenue it cannot devise o method of
doing so, 1t fails in wisdom.

So, 900, and four savings banks, with an ag-
gfegate deposit of about s., 900, principally
savings of operatives.
OF the entire products of the United States
exported to foreign countries, the South has at
times contributed as high as 55 per cent.
Double and treble the value of our pruducts by
manufacturing before expectation, and we cause
a flow of wealth from the North and from
abroad that must produce almost unparalleled
prosperity,
If we desire to fully participate in that pros.
perity and hasten its consummation there must
be no folding of the arms on our part: We
cannot afford to stand idly by while foreign
capital and energy, attracted as it will be-an-
deed as it is-by the wonderful advantages we
possess, gradually occupy the field to our ex-
clusion. Then, indeed, would the sceptre have
departed from Israel. But rather let us, while
heartily welcoming the Northern business man
and capitalist, Join in generous rivalry In the
great work of developing our resources.
A new era is upon us. The policies atten-
ding the institutions of the past no longer con-
troll our actions The industrial pursuits to
which we were wont to devote our energies no
longer claim our undirided attention.
No COUNTRY EXCLUSIVELY AGRICULTURAL
EVER GREW PERMANENTLY RICH.
We have shown the world that we could per-
form the full measure of our duty to our coun-
try during long, bloody and disastrous war.
Property and life were freely Surrendered. No
sacrifice was too great to be cheerfully. offered;
Partners and sons, mothers and daughters wed
with each other early. and late, In season and
out of season, in acts of self-abnegation., Let
the same spirit actuate us now. Let each one
of us rise to the mission before us. Let there
be no idlers in our streets. Let honest, manly
labor be clothed with its proper dignity. Let
agriculture, manufacturing, mining and COM
merce alike command our efforts. Let energy
method and careful close management, attend
us in our various pursuits
: In building up our waste places, and in secu-
ring that prosperity benifcent Providence has
placed within our reach, we are firmly convinc-
ed that the cotton manufacturer will perform a
prominent part, and we express the hope that
the Southern people will give this matter their
serious attention and do what they can to tos-
ter and advance this branch of industry.
We append detailed statements in support OF
the propositions advanced.
Respectfully submitted.
