Hard Times and the Cause.

Intc1f1goUt fri friends from the coun
try report the prevalence ofa gloo.
my feeling among planters. For
underlined reasons the value of lands
has declined very considerably from
the prices readily and cheerfllIy
paid four years ago. Planters have
been Industrious ard have rcsorted
to every known honorable means
to build their fortunes but their
crops have only paid their current
expehsc,, ind in spite of much out
lay in repairs, building and i'm
provemohls, they find their lands
worth less than in 1866 81. The
sad feeling begins to prevail that
their crops cost more than they
bring in market. When asked
their opinions about future pros.
poets they express despondshtt and
uncertainty. They do not seem to
know what their fate 10 to be, fear
ing always new distress and increas-
ed oppression. Many, in their dis
content would sell their plantations
and try to find n more FAVORABLE
field, but they are numbered with
such obligations that they cannot
conveniently get away. The vtst
quantity of lands offered for sale re-
duces the available cash value OF
property to low figures, so that men
who have held fast TO the lands on
which their fathers lived in comfort
and luxury, now feel themselves
sinking from year to year, deeper
into the mirc of poverty,
This gloomy sensation is not the
result of the change IN the system
of labor, for at fair wngcs planters
can secure as much in the aggregate
as they had in former years-as
mnch. in fact as tho need Nor is
The trouble to be found IN the pri-
cos Of their produces, which are
above those received before the war.
Their la' DIS arc not worn out -
They Arc industrious, lnboring with
tacir own hands They live frugal
Iy. cxpending scarcely II fourth part
OF the annual amount that they
used in former years. They are no
longer the generous purchasers of
luxuries who once mado the retail
business of our city so buoyant
throughout the winter and spring
months They are striving to live
within their lcsscned income and
o adapt their outlay to their chang
ed condition. But with all thrsc
efforts they feel that they are not
gaining, but rather losing.
The fact, stated generally, is that
the people of the South have not
made their expenses for the past
three years, although the seasons
have bcen propitious and the crops
have been good As we demonstra-
ted some weeks ago. tho Southern
States have produced annually cx-
ported products to the value of
three hundred millions of dollars,
besides raising for the most part,
art'clus Of subsistence of prime ne
cesity. If they had received a full
return in money, or in property
equivalent in value, they would
now be in tue full tide of prosperi-
ty.
But their products exported have
been returned incommodities which
have paid duties to the extent of
thirty, forty or fifty per cent. upon
their cost IN Europe. The effect
has been the same as if ;he exports
from the South, cotton, tobacco,

amatier OF 70 small interest," W o"'
people, We republish this ween-an,e eIno''
from the uou.,oH Union on the Southern
paci6c Rail, DAD and the reported squnb-
bles of Scott ahd Roberts over u. We have
seen, from different sources, in'ima''ohs
that there was trouble so,he how, and as
patches have been published that Roberts
was to 20 out and Scott was to go u anu
control things in his own way So 'oo'
We have noticed that the Houston Telegraph,
.upposcd nt nil times not TO he PARTICULAR
" hostile to the Central Road, Is NOT, 10
say the least, very frisRdiy to the s0t'h'
ern Pacific and many have come to believe
that the Central Railroad is combining
with Tom Scott to prevent its being built.
We are glad 10 find that ono Houston pa
per can lake an unprejudiced view Of this
great work, SO important to Texas and the
whole South. For years the South mas
been demanding this route to the Pacihc,
and Northern interests and Northern Jsal-
ousy and opposition have prevented It.
Now, when the charter has been granted
by Congress. and land donations made to
aid it-now, when the State OF Texas has
exhibited a munifcent liberality to enable
the New York Company to carry it on to
completon-now, when ell the demands
ofthe Company have bsen complied win
and all difficulties apparently removed
We are told there Is trick.ry in the matter,
shd that Tom Scott is only going to use
the Charter TO prevent composition with his
railroad interests elsewhere; tha' If the road
is built through Texas ht all, it will be mar
row giiage ID FL Paso, where the broader
guags fi6h St. Louis Will come in and 60
on to San Diego. Thus the North West and
the East are to get the benefit of the mill
route, open oil the year round to the Pa
ciho, and the South and Tevas are to be
loft odt in the cold. If this be the plan, it
has been cunnihgly devised and is quite
worthy Of the "Devil ahd Tom Walker or
Tom Scott. II is time this matter was
looked after and we call upon our members
Of Congress to keep an eye on the plotters
so far as Congress- Ii concerned. The
whole South is deeply interested in this
thing. Every Southern city should be
Wide awake about it. Are We ID be moth
