OF the Patriots dreary picture, say we are
to have three and half millions Of bales
OF cotton, two hundred thousand hogs
heads of sugar, fifty thousand barrels of
rice, five hundred thousand barrels of mo-
lasses, and an inexhaustible supply of
corn and fodder. Most of this will result
from negro labor, which entities them to
use some activity in politics and to sur
render themselves to proftless incidence
when they are not at work. If the Ku-
Klux Khan conld tell such tale as the
negroes can about productive industry
and increased wealth, it would be good
reading in these dull times. If the corner
groceries did not have their armies of
white men, all alive to idleness, and vir-
tuously indignant against more indus
trious people over the pictures that are
hashed up to them in the Patriot, we
might have even better report to make
of the South than that which the industry
OF the negroes allows US to make above.
There is big mote in the eyes of the
Democratic organs that allows them to see
the one idle colored man in a crowd of
forty idle white men. If this mote was
out, it would give the Patriot great relief.

SUCCESSFUL AT LAST.

We find the following in the Picdlptre
S. D. Carpenter, an editor and printer.
after eight years study and an outlay OF
S4O.000, has perfected machine which cuts.
rakes and binds grain at the rate of four
| teen acres day, with the help only of one
man and one boy. 1t was tried near Wau-
kesha, Wisconsin, July "a, in a field of oats
| with entire success.
We are sincerely glad to learn that Mr..
Carpenter has finally succeeded in one of
his many inventions. We have known
him for more than twenty years as
printer, poet, an editor, and most per-
sistent and persevering inventor. He
moved to Madison, Wisconsin. from
Freeport, Illinois, about the year 1850.
where he purchased an interest in the
Argus Office. This paper was. then the
official organ of the State of Wisconsin,
and the leading Democratic organ of the
State. But genius like Stephen Carpen-
ter's can not be circumscribed by the four
walls OF country printing Office, even
though the country be an uncommonly
fine one. To relieve the ardor of his
fretful genius, he cut out prodigious guam
titles of wooden type, some specimens of
which were highly creditabIe to his skill.
In 1852 he invented pump, over which
he made big fuss, and out of which in
Vention he made some money, and &C
quired the soubriquet of Pump Carpenter.
The next year he devoted to the invention
OF printing press. For this purpose he
went to Cincinnati, and going into one of
the machine shops there, had one of his
machines constructed under his personal
supervision. The press was finally COM
pleted, and entered in the Ohio State fair.
at Dayton. 1t received honorable men
ton, and that was about the last we ever |
heard of it. But the famous Bullock
press, now so popular at the North, is
constructed upon nearly the same princi-
pie as the humble little model of Mr.. Car
penter.
We rejoice, therefore, to learn that the
indefatigable inventor has lat last met
with success; for, while he loves and de-
serves success, he loves the products of
mis- own genius above all price, and will
feel in the commentator of his fellow
citizens more real pleasure and happiness
han all the money that the most success
I'll monopoly could bring.

THE MOTE IN HIS EYE

according to the Washington Patriot
(Which IS as nearly up to twenty years
Dehind the times as any living newspaper,
printed IN the interests of the Democ-
racy' is at present. if we except Dennett's
anfiqulty)' the colored people of the
South are making themselves busy with
politics and surrendering themselves to
prohtless idleness. This is news. We
thought the colored people were making
themselves busy raising cotton and corn,
and had surrendered themselves to labor
on the vary generous platform of fifteen
dollars per month, payable monthly. The

ON CARONDELET STREET.

The applications for loans at the banks
are greater than the previous week, owing
probably to the demands of the fall trade,
and hence the demand for loans on the
street were also shown to be greater, crea-
ting corresponding rise in the rate per
cent at which they were negotiated.
But the all absorbing question at
present is one of rents, and where houses.
| as well as stores, can be obtained during
the ensuing year. In this connection it
may be proper to state that the directory
makers will not be put to much trouble as
far as recording the change of base made
by business men, which are fewer than for
many years, leases being renewed at pretty
much the old rates, saving only those new
places where business has taken a new
direction, and where the demand being
greater the rent increases commensurate
Herewith. Leases are drawn, .ssipned,'
sealed and delivered daily. Notaries are
busy, and their representatives particu-
larry active. Nearly all the renting bust
ness is now done through the medium of
a broker, and these have their books full
Dealings in commercial sight still con-
tinue on the old basis of tiree-eighths
premium on New York, but this does not
appear to be the era of settlements. and
the transactions are not sufficient in
volume to excite attention. There ap-
pears to be brisk demand awakening for
United States securities, probably owing
to the abundance of capital standing
ready for investment. One investment of |
$4,000 in fve-twenties was reported, |
on private terms, and to be |
delivered. Previous to this |
other sales of small amounts have been |
spoken of, and the desire for investment
prevails. Money looks for the mortgage
paper instead of the mortgage paper look
ing for the money. The rate is one which
produces no hesitation, where ten months
ago it was enormous, amounting to as
much as eighteen per cent There is now
capital enough here to move anything, and
rs it will soon be employed to move the
new crop, and will be sent out Southwest
