THE free traders met with Waterloo in
the House of Representatives Tuesday.
First, Mr.. Parker, one of the newly elect
ed members from New Hampshire, at
tempted to get vote on resolution of
his, declaring that the tariff should be SO
reformed as to be tax for revenue only,
and not for the protection Of American in
dustries. He gnominiously failed, and
his resolution was referred to the commit
tee Of ways and means by vote of ninety
eight to seventy-seven. Next came
Judge Kelly, with his resolution passed by
the Forty first Congress, declaring the true
spirit of revenue reform to mean the abol-
ition of the inquisitorial internal revenue
system. After being stigmatized by the
free-trade leaders as "pig iron PROPOSE
tion," the resolution passed the House by
vote of 1870 yeas to 81 nays. Thus the
Forty Congress reaffirms the decla :
ration of its immediate predecessor in ia
vor of the abolition of the internal revenue
system, and the free traders put themselves
on record as favoring its continuance aud
the perpetual taxation of the industry and
resources of the nation.

THE best answer to all of the assertions
made during the last fewNyears that "the
negroes won't work" is the statement going
the rounds of Southern papers to the effect
that the cotton crop of this year is the lar
gest of any since 1860.
There are paratively few white men
engaged in cultivatins cotton, and we must
conclude, therefore, that the colored laborer
Is something more than the "idle vaga-
bond" the Democratic leaders would like
to have the country believe.

The Revenue Reformers" will take nc
comfort from the action by the House in
defeating the Democratic resolution de-
claring that the tariff should be for reve-
nue. only, and the adoption of the Repub-
lcan resolution declaring ia favor of abol-
ishing internal revenue, and retaining the
tariff on spirits tobacco and malt liquors
The Performers" have constantly boosted
of their strength in Congress and of what
they meant to accomplish, but every show
of hands has revealed their weakness and
the strength of the tariff advocates. But
double defeat in one day is more than
they can endure and maintain organiza-
ton long. Another such will rout the
party.

We are not among those who believe
amnesty to be the panacea for all the ills
of the South, yet we are willing to see the
experiment tried-more, however, for its
own sake than anything else. The bill
satisfy the Southern people. A measure
more magnanimous or more sweeping
could not be passed with safety to. the
nation. Only three classes are exempted
from its provisions, and these very small
ones and constantly decreasing. These
classes are those who were members of
Congress, officers of the army and navy,
and members of State conventions that
declared in favor of the rebellion.

KEysvILLE, VA, April 18th, 1871.
To the Editor of the State journal.
The farmers are congratulating them
selves and each other upon the early add
vent offspring, and are catering upon their
crop campaign with pleasant auticipations
of a good harvest season. The wheat is
looking unusually well, and holds out
promise of rich yields The song of the
contented plough-boy may be heard on all
sides, as his share turns over the mellow
soil aud prepares it for the reception of
seed-for we are in the busy corn planting
season.
By the bye, can't you write something
practical enough toinduce those "who earn
their bread by the sweat of their brow" to
plough deeper2 There was much wisdom
in the remark that there was wealth
enough under two inches more Of our soil,
to pay off our debt, individual aud ma
tional, and enrich our inhabitants and
yet shallow tilling-surface scratching--is
the general rule. Again Can't you i'm
press upon these sons of toll that it is the
height Of folly to cultivate their land in
burrows and ridges, instead OF keeping it
as level as possible? The thrifty farmers
of the great West have long since aban-
doned this suicidal system, much to their
advantage and profit.
The ingenuity of man can devise nc
better way of destroying crop--should q
| drought occur-than by throwing up the
surface in cone-shaped hills. beds and
ridges.
We are blessed in having infused int
our midst a sprinkling of the yankees,
who have become purchasers of real estate
10 this county. Several agencies are in op'
Grafton and are doing well
Fears were at one time entertained that
the fruit was destroyed, or much injured
by the frosts, but am glad to state thai
such is not the case--the indications now
point to large yield Of fruits Of all kinds
Your paper is becoming deservedly
popular amongst the working people
and anticipate the pleasure of sending
you list of new subscribers 10 a few days
Politically, quiet reigns everywhere il
our midst, and more pleasant under
standing exists now than at any time since
| the war. Men are inclining to wisdom
and liberality, and the result is seen in
subsistence of intolerance, prescription, ant
bitterness.
| We are watching the workings of tn
free school system with great interest, ant
trust to see the most benefcent result
when the laws regulating the same shall
become more liberalized and comprehen

THE CAUSES OF THE PARIS DISORDER

THE CAUSES OF THE PARIS DISORDER.
The present condition of Paris shows
plainly that the demonac passions of the
first French revolution are not extinct.
The guillotine, if not yet set up, has been
threatened there have been imprisou-
ments Of the unoffending and helpless, per-
secutions of the religious orders, the pub
lie flaeellation of the highest minister of
the Church, under the most revolving cir
cumstances, and blasphemous utterances
which seem invented to make men stand
aghast at the impiety which could venture
on them. The substratum, however, of
the whole movement seems to be mainly
the design of public and private plumber.
Many of the leaders, no doubt, are of the
old breed of fanatics and jacobins others
are ambitious, using communism, as they
would any other ism, for their personal ag-
grandizement, and some of their followers
are honest idiots, who believe they are help
ing on the universal republic" But in
general those so fierce for the commune are
men enrolled in the National Guard du-
ring the seige, who have been living all
winter rent free, having food and clothes
gratis from the government, while theil
wives and children were fed and clothed
by regular distributions from the govern
ment and benevolent societies. The return
Of peace involves the resumption of rent
and of the laws of buyer and seller, anc
the provisional government has declared
that all useless expenses must b.
cut down in France, the National Guart
reduced, aud that all classes must share tn,
financial stress until after the war indem.
nifty is paid. Hence the idle, improvident
reckless and prohigats raise the red flag
aud the commune proclaims the right O
Paris to "govern ilself," and to fix the size
the duties and the pay Of the Natona
Guard.
