The Raleigh (N. c. Sentinel, in very for,
chile article on the recuperative powers OF the
South. publishes the following facts and figures
taken from the statistics, which are calculated
to inspire our people at least with ray of
comfort In 1860 the exports from South
ern ports amounted to S207 ,+5l, 262. In 1870
the exports amounted to sos, $50. $50. So
with all our manifold political vexations and
prosecutions, the South actually exported over
one million dollars more FIVE years after the
war than it did before the war. We are sur
priS:d to see that the importations in 1870
were over two millions more than in 1860
IL the latter year they were s4o,216:I5 In
1870 they reached so, 3lo4l'. This shows
thu productive energies of the people.

trade for the past week has been entirely de-

We are too far away, perhaps, to see
the wisdom Of the Louisiana democrats
mixing themselves up with the disgraceful
quarrcls of the radical factions in that
State. Can there be any difference be-.
tween them? From what we can learn, q
portion Of the democracy there are taking
sides with Carter and the Custom House
set, including Grants beloved brother in
law, the very men, who, not long ago, call,
cd n the militory from this State to con-
troll n Convention favorable to Grant
What can there bs about these man that
now attracts democrats to Their side, and
induces them TO give their support and
couutenance 10 this set Of scSmps in pref
erence to the other set of scoundrels? 1t
is minated tbs. they have been bought up
to 60 for measures of reform with the DEM
ocrats-to 60 for the repeal Of the obnOx-
ious registration and election laws, simi-
lar to those now in force in this State. Is
that true7 But, If so, what confidence can
be placed in them? Did not C9rter their
leader, approve nil these shameful laws
in Texas, and did not he come here to make
speeches for Davis just before our late
election Has he become honest so sud-
denly? What has converted him? Or
are these laws and rascalities, by which a
Clark is made me mber Of Congress and
an innocent citizen is murdered by police
men liz Groesbseck, oil right for Texas and
all wrong for Louisiana ? We have no faith
in Carriers conversion, and no confidence
in buying up radicals. They will sell out
every day, IL they can get enough offered;
so that you have no security for your mon.
ey's worth you do buy them to do good
thing. Better let them all alone to quar-.
rel il out ike the Kilkenny cats-you can

a FUNNY Business,

A Radical newspaper discussing
question of g Institutional law, or
the nature and jurisdiction ofthe So
called Federal Government, always
begins and ends with the all com
prohensivo idoa that our Forefath-
ors designed to establish a central
despotism at Washington. Altho'
the States created the Constitution
and as distinct and separately rati-
flying communities formed the I'm
ion, they insist on regarding the
States rs 30 many non-cntities.--'
Their ti.vorite theory is, that tho
States made a Central Despot be-
fore which they were to bow for all
time without doubt Of its perfect in.
fallibility, and that they practically
dccreed their own political dcstruc-
ton! In truth, to hear one ofthesc
imperious radical newspaper states
men talk their streams Of nonsence,
one cannot help thinking that an
Australian Bushman, or an African
Hottentot would do better as mu-
steal critic of some grand opera
The recent illusions on the SUBJ
ject of tho old Constitution and Un-
ion in the Ga-etteand Commercial ut
Cincinnati, are certainly tho pro.
auctions of minds apparently igno-
rant OF the faintcst conception of
tho truth. The most laughable
part of the affair is, that each accus.
es the other of sheer stupidity. and
in this both are obviously correct.
Those kind of people who have bub-
bled up to tho service of events du.
ring the past miserable ten years of
revolutionary excitement, have al
ways lived in open and resolved dis
affection and moral trsason to tho
Constitution of our Fathers. Their
whole object has been to pervort or
destroy it as lunatics would, if un-
restrained, set fire to the very build
ing over their heads. In order to
consumate their purpose, worse than
madmen, they have not hesitated to
force, more wantonly and wicked
ly than language can describe, the
terrible issue OF civil war with all
its fearful consequences upon the
country. They have derided and
abused the people, and the people
are beginning to find it OUT Mont
