VEGETABLE and Fruit Trade OF tht
South.

The South has the inside track lor d.
the early vegetable and fruit markets
and in this alone has an untold mine O
mooItb Given as elements of the pro
bIeu, of n1oney-making, the early sprint
temperature and rich productive lands
and there is no reason why an intelligen
Industry should not realize enormou
profits. The palate, wearied Of the dr..
fare of winter, eagerly welcomes the frs
efforts of vegetation, the luscious fruit
and crisp vegetables of the Sunny South
While the snow still covers the Northern
soil the Southern gardener may have al
ready started his beds, not in the confined
air of the hot house, but in the oper
genial atmosphere warmed with tropica
breath. We have hitherto been depend
ent for the frat installments of sprin.
Injuries upon the Bemudas. Our s outh
ern States, especially along the Atlanta
and Gulf coast, may Just as we'll as no
supply this lack. ... .
The difficulty still in the way of real
izing this splendid prospect is the disor
Ranized condition of labor in the South
Capital in land is still held to a great ex.
tent by men who refuse to sympathize
with the new social order. The old in
justice which enslaved tina laborer, appro-
priated bis soul and body, still insists on
denying him his proper share of wages.
OF the proceeds Of industrial enterprise
the capitalist still insists upon three
fourths, leaving to the laborer one. fourth.
Under the present distribution the plant.
CIR takes $75O,000,O00, and the negro but
$250,OOOO0O. The former determines the
price of land, the latter of wages. Let
soience aud machinery come to the assist
ance of labor, quintupling the product,
and il will gain in the relative proper ton
Of the division. When the agricultural
product of the South shall have become
$4,000, 900 the laborer's share will
rise from one fourth to two fiftbs. While
tho capitalist gets three billions the ne
gro will get two. But with the anchor
atiou of labor all departments of society
would realize its general benefit. The
agricultural product of the South may be
made greatly to surpass this estimate, and
to overbalanee that which the whole
country now presents.

THE TURF-At the June races on the
Rutland County Park Course, the Judges
decided that "Snow Flake owned by Mr..
Ballard, of White River Junction, was
not properly entered for the race and
refused TO let her start. At the time,
this decision excited muck comment,
and as there was considerable difference
of opinion in reference to its correctness,
two of our citizens requested the opinion
of Wilkes Spirit of the Times thereon.
We append tho replies. .....a '....
DIX. Rutland, VII. There was q
purse advertised to be strotted for over
our park under the new rules, for all hors-
ca, entries to close June 18th, at p. m.
Thursday morning the proprietor received
by express an entry, which the owner of
the mare clsimed to be eligible, and said
it was put into the exposes Office fifteen
minutes before the time for the closing of
the entries it had only 100 miles to come
by rail, and was not received till two days
after entries were closed, and the eligible
horses were published two days before in
our daily paper. Now the rules read that
if man telegraphs his intention to enter,
even up to the hour for closing the entries,
he is eligible; so say I. But this. was not
the case in this Instance, and the express
package bearing tive changes of time on
it for receiving the money, also in differ.
emit hand writings. The judges would
not allow the mare to start, and claimed
the entry fraud. Please give your, opin-
ion, as there is bet pending and left to
you. Answer.-1. The entry was void,
and may have been fraudulent. An en-
try sent by express is of no use unless it is
received before the race closes. So of a
telegraphic dispatch. But letter mailed
and bearing postmark prior to the clos--
ing is good. ega-, t--s BAT.

FATAL AccIDENT-At about nine
o'clock Saturday morning James Powers,
an employee of Messrs. Sheldon &
Slason, was instantly killed by falling
into the pit of the north quarry, belong
ing to that company, q distance of some
one hundred and ff1g feet. 1t seems that
he was endeavoring to attach chain to a
block of marble lying on the very edge of
the quarry, and in reaching out, in order
to attach hook which he had in his
hand to another chain, he lost his balance,
and in falling, was precipitated into the
quarry, first striking a "sheli" of marble
some fifty feet from the surface, and from
thence to the bottom of the quarry about
one hundred feet below.
p Mr.. Powers was aboutF twenty five
years of age, and leaves young wife to
whom he had been married about two
years.

BRAZILIAN SLAVERY.

The opinion which we expressed of tho
Brazilian Emancipation measure, when tho
telegraph brought us news of its adoption, is
fully confirmed by the text Of the law received
in Yesterdays mail. Not only has no appre-
ciable improvement been made in the incom-
plcte scheme originally presented to the Cham
Der, but one important provision-that which
liberated the slaves Of the religious orders
has been stricken out. The act is, as we said
before, q dclusive compromise with wrOrg, and
postpones to the next generation what ought
to be granted Immediately. Still 1T Is some
thing gained. 1t fixes upon Slavery In the
Empire the stamp of official rCprobatiOn. The
buying and selling of human beings is hence
forth declared to be o wrong which Is only
tolerated for time because it has acquired
too much strength to be suddenly abolished.
A public sentiment against it is thus fOstercd,
and an impetus given to the practice OF Volun-
tary enfranchisemcnt which has been common
in Brazil for many years.
We cannot doubt that the end OF Slavery
will be reached long before the period fixed
by the law. The example given by the Bene-
Gictine Order, which has set free all its slaves
though not required to do so by this bill, Will
be initiated, and fresh legislation will aid in
the good work. The Liberals will gam from
this partial success new strength and courage
to persevere and the forcbotings of the Slave
party, who look for general unsettling OF
society, destruction of industry, and outbreak
of disorders as the consequence of allowing
colored people to hold rights of property in
their own bodies, will meet their answer. AT
the next session Of the Legislative Body let
US have brave effort to finish what has thus
been begun.

THE FINANCES.

Mr.. Boutwell, was able to report reduction
of our National Debt by moro than Thirteen
Millions in September, and he reports fur
ther reduction of nearly Nine Millions in Octo-
ber The full amount of reduction since Gen.
Grants Inauguration is 63,755,s19, or
more than One Hundred Millions per Gnnurn.
Should we continue to pay as we have thus
far paid since the incoming of this Admins
tration, the Debt would bo utterly extin-
guished within the next twenty years. As it
is, the annual interest or burden of the Debt
is diminished by at least Fifteen Millions since
Gen. Grant became President. These are
cheerful figures.
We have often heard that the gold in the
Treasury was about to be reduced yet the
amount on the 1st inst was over Ninety-nine
Millions, beside more than Ten Millions in
paper. Happily, Mr. Boutwell, has advertised
that he will soon pay off whatever may remain
outstanding of the first issued One Hundred
Millions of Five -Twenties and, as he is a
man of his word, we will. not doubt tho as
surance If that redemption does not draw
down the coin in the Treasury below Ten
Millions, we urge him to call in more and
moro Five-Twenties till all his surplus
Coin shall have been absorbed in the
payment of his superabundant Debt. Had he
bought up and paid off at least Eighty Millions
more of interest bearing Debt during the first
six months of his Secretaryship, the discount
thus realized and the interest thus saved
would by this time have aggregated not less
than Twenty Millions. Mr.. Boutwell, is ar
economist, and cannot fail to realize that {
full treasury is an incitement to lavish anG
questionable expenditure, as also to improvi
dent reductions Of taxes, Do let US congratu
late the country on the absorption Of tht
surplus by the payment of Debt!

HEAR SENATOR BRADLEYI

Against Mr.. John j. Bradley as citizen ana
q neighbor, we utter no reproach; toward him.
we cherish no other sentiment but good WILL
AS Chamberlain (cash-keeper) of the City, wo
believe he has been faithful custodian. But
Mr.. Bradley has, for the last four years. heio
another important ofice-that of Senator-and
is now seeking reelection for further term
of two years. AS candidate, he necessarily
inv;tes-nay. challenges-a scrutiny OF his past
Legislative career; and he thus compels us to
mdee him unfit for Senator. During the four
wears of his continuous service at Albany,
most inidutous Charter has been imposed on
our City against the protest Of her most intel
ireut and dsinterested citizens, while Tax
Lew after Tax-Levy, each moro villain
GUS than its predecessor, has been fastened
upon us without allowing those whose
property was thus cOn6scated the poor
privilege of remonstrance or protest. The
Levies have uniformly been introduced at q
very late day, rushed through without decent
scrutiny under tho plea of lack of time, and
surcharged with new villainies when they were
Just on the eve of final passage, by juggles
which kept them unknown except to their
bcneficiaries until after they had become laws
During the last thrco years, while our CITY
and County Expenditures have been enor-
mously and constantly swelling, no Annual
Report of them, such as the law requires, has
been made by the Controller; md those who
so readily doubled and trebled our burdens
by passing these atrOciOus measures have
never asked for any. They "went it Blind"
i'm defiance of our earnest Temonstrances; and
we arc now confronted with tho net result-a
City and County Debt of nearly One Hundred
Millions, whereof at least one-third is rob-
berry. That is to say: This vast sum has been
paid for services never rendered, for materials
enormously overcharged or never furnished,
and on all manner of frauds and swindles sur
passing all former example.
Now, we do not know that Mr.. Bradley
pockCted dime of this money, and of course
do not charge it. But it is matter of public,
official record that Mr.. Bradley has given
ready and hearty support to every one OF tho
numerous bills whereby these robbcrics were
facilitated and rendered possible. Genet, and
Creamer, and even Norton, have sometimes
hesitated and even revolted; but Bradley has
supported every measure and scheme of Tweed
s. Co. as though they owned him, body and
soul. Hence, We rejoice to learn from tho
Tammany organ that he mado speech on
Wednesday evening to the vanguard Demo-
cratic Club of the XEIllth Ward" wherein
(says The Starr
"He defended the position Of the Democratic party In
tho most eloquent manner aud said that he only wanted

We cannot, of course, speak for the Demo-
Gratis; but, so far as the Republicans are
concerned, we have great pleasure in assuring
Mr.. Bradley that his wishes will be scrupu-
lousy respected.

BPIGH4lpS OFFER.

1t is reported, though we do not vouch for
the rumor, that the Mormon prophet has a
plan for settling his little difficulty with the
United States of America in a manner which
ought to be satisfactory to all parties. While
Young keeps out of the reach of warrants and
constables, Delegate Hooper is sent to Wash
ington as plenipotentiary to negotiate peace.
The terms proposed by Brigham are under
stood to include q prohibition of polygamy In
future, on condition that Utah shall be ad-
mitted to the Union as State, and amnesty,
we suppose, proclaimed for past offenses. There
can be little doubt Of the manner In which
such an offer will be treated II It ever come
before Congress. The Mormons give up moth
ing, and ask for everything in return. Po-
lygamy is already doomed. The recent action
