There was never a greater blunder
In the same number Of words. The
negroes that toll do not produce more
than half as much as before the war.
Any negro will confess this fact.
Women and children, when serYitude
obtained, as productive as men,
are low almost valueless. Multitudes
of negroes are idlers in cities and vii
lagos everywhere crowded with thrift.
less hsngers-on OF debased politicians.
The Iowlands are cultivated mainly
by negroes; the Uplsnds, that now pro-
ducelnine- -tenths of the cotton crop, are
occupied almost exclusively by
whites. In truth, the great good effect
ed by the war consists in
the fact that, though it i'm
poverisked many rich planters,
il has enriched very many more
that were poverty stricken. The rich
and prosperous people Of the south at
this hour are the small farmers Of the |
cotton-groving uplsnds, whose mar
row nelds are cultivated by them
selves and children. They owe the |
negro nothing and are more prosper
Gus than ever before. We would dero-
gate in nothing from the negro's claim |
TO many virtues. Misled and duped
as he has been, and made the supple !
tool Of the veriest knaves that ever
cursed country, we have little to
condemn in the Africans conduct. |
His misdeeds are not his own and his
virtues are many. The statistical /
falsehood affecting negro industry, |
above considered, is not more start
ling than that which applies to his in
telligence. The negro's labor |
is not controlled and direct
ed by his own brains." His
own" intelligence and brains are no |
more consulted now than in the days |
Of African servitude. In fact the
''hirer" does not confde in the negro
as did the "master." Negro ''intel-
Hgence," which the Nes0 Era pirates
aboutss a marvellous agency Of cotton
production, is q vague, baseless
dream Of the generous editor. Ne
groes that are doing well in the South
are those that buy little farms. There
are, perhaps, three hundred such in
this and Fsyette county. Whenever
a negro family secures and begins to
improve their modest home, the wife
and children cnltivating the garden,
an instant change is superinduced,
and political adventures and parti-
zsn leaders no longer control such
colored citizen. Now and then these
colored farmers are the most success
full in their neighborhood; but the
story told by the Nea0 Era, that the
negro population made the cotton
crop Of the South, is simply absurd.

THE FALSE prophets, who warmed
into life that political dispensation
which was to guide the Democratic
party to victory and the country to
prosperity, cannot wriggle out Of their
blunder by subteTfuge. Great as was
the recuperstive powers Of the Demo-
cratic party, it could not survive the
nOstrums with which it has been
opiated, drugged, poisoned, emascu-
lated and dishonOred. But for the
''new departure"-the swapping of
from the party, IS do sparks from the
iron to fall as cinders--tO-dsy the DEM
Ocratic party would be a source
Of Light and liberty, leading its
hosts to victory. We have re-
pestedly shown that 80 long as the
Democratic party adhered to its can
Onized principles, 1t steadily gained
strength, until, instead Of the
eighty electoral votes obtained In the
last presidential campaign, we were
In q condition TO count upon one hun
dred and fifty. Since the promulga-
fion of the atrceious theory that a
Democratic victory could be achieved
by an unqualified acceptance and
endorsement of Radical usurpa-
tion and infamy, not a single
victory has been achieved. De-
feat and disaster has been the un-
varying result. Wherever the new
departure was accepted as the infalll-
bic panacsa to cure the evils that beset
the country, and to give victory to
the Democracy, ignominious defeat
mas followed. Now, that Democracy
has been paralyzed, its adherents can
strike hands with those who would
purify the government. In the ap-
preaching contest the anti Grant party

style is old gothic, high-pitched roof
open.timbered inside, pointed windows,
with q belfry rising from the front apex,
some ten or twelve feet above. There is
very neat gothic porch, sheltering the
front entrance. The interior of the chur n
has quaint appearance, owing to its di-
minutive style, and the situation of the
pulpit high over the chanc6l. The roof
also comes down to the sidewalks, so low
as to be reached by ones head. There Is

two beautifully designed and brilliant

THE CONGREGATION
now numbers only forty members, but
was started with much less number last
June. It is now growing, and is COM

Germans In the city. The funds TO erect
the little church were collected principal
