utes many of the evils of the.day. Men
who inherit great wealth, marry fortune,
or come suddenly into possession of a large
estate are not so well qualified to care for
it, as those who earn what they are worth.
The former grow giddy over their gain
and think they must straightway adopt
rich mems habits. They expend money
extravagantly and their bad example de-
moralizes men of less wealth who. ought to
have more sense. Domestic service in
England Mr. Hughes pronounces demon
allied. More servants and better wages are
the rule, but "a willing and faithful SER
vice" is hard to buy. Discomfort and an
undue ambition for wealth is the engross.
ing passion and evil of this class. The
tendency of population to aecum ulate in
great cities" is another evil Mr.. Hughes
strikes hard. The first generation die fast
er from disease because of the density of
population, and the second generation de-
teriorate greatly ia size. "a sound mind
and sound body" are riches that money
can not buy and they are worth more to
to the population and to the country than
the mere increase ofwealth.f
Riches, says Mr.. Hughes, to be profitable
must be I" well gotten and "well spent"
He then asks whether the wealth of Great
Britain is blessing by this rule. Their
wealth, he thinks, has been gotten by hard
work and honest trading. He admits that
he cannot say that the honest trading still
continues. He refers to the growth of the
/" STEERS :, trade. Sizing is put into cotton
cloth, and increases the profit. He looks
upon this as fraud, sapping the integrity
of the cotton trade that has made England
millions The trade in opium with the
Chinese he Characterize as fraud. In
the spending of their money, he thinks
the English not as wise as the Ameri-
cans.
After careful examination of the char
acter sketched above into the habits of
the English people, Mr.. Hughes concludes
that, on the whole, some slight progress
has been made in civilization, but he warns
his countrymen that the need for reform, is
pressing, and that, without it, they cannot
much longer maintain their present posi-
ton in the civilized world.

ENGLISH CIVILIZATION.

Mr.. Thomas Hughes, member of Par
Lament, has contributed to AfdcnaaIdn's
Magazine an article ON "Problems of Civil
Hzaion, which has attracted some atten-
ton. He defines the purpose of his article
to be to find whether our modern civiliza-
ton has improved the condition of the
people of England. It would seem to most
readers that it would not take long for the
honorable member of Parliament to prove
that it had. Most any Sophomore in Col
lege could prove that, in one page essay.
The writer defines civilization for his pur-
pose to mean "the increase of the means
and appliances of life-material, intellec-
tual, social-which the accumulation of
wealth, the progress of science and the con-
sequent growing facilities of communities
ton of all kinds have placed, and are
placing, more and more within the reach
of men and women in our time" His test
of improvement he recognizes is "the rela-
tions of persons and of classes of persons
to each other" Are these better or
worse, he asks? Have family relations
been strengthened Do employers and
employed deal more justly with each
other? From these definitions and ques-
tons it will easily be seen a vast field is
opened to the essayist. He deals trenchant
blows at the weaknesses of the rich and
poor, at the growing evils of extravagant
and fast living, and complains at the want
of independence and good sense in social
usages. He says ON the statement of
Mr.. Gladstone sthat more wealth has
in this little island of ours been
accumulated since the commencement of
the present century-that is within the.
life time,of many who are still amongst us
than in all the preceding ages, say from
the time of Julius Caesar. And again at
least as much wealth in the last twenty as
in the preceding fifty years." To this rap
i'd increase in wealth, Mr.. Hughes attrib-

THE Cincinnati Commercial is agifated
al,out business matter. 1t appears that
the saloon keepers sell beer for five cents
glass, when the editor of the Commercial
thinks they can afford to do it for three
cents. He makes it warm for the five
cents men. Here is the way he squibs at
Them: - "a HHE -
"Let every poor man who drinks glass
of beer to-day remember that he is paying
more for that one glass than the saloon
keeper pays for twice the quantity; that the
profit on every glass he drinks is to the re-
taller over three cents, and that the brewer
gets his profit besides. If five cents is the
most convenient change for glass of beer,
why not double the size of the glass ?"
Halstead evidently understands, though,
how to get the worth of his money, for he

A FALSE ALARM.

The Tiiaes-the new TimeS-the subst-
tute affair-declares that 1.-The members OF
the Legislature are numerously arriving
in town. This one Of the Times papers
means these so-called legislators who give
adherence to what was once known as the
Lyceum Hall assembly.
We desire to be thus specific, because
we desire to say the statement is false. a
careful research OF hotel. and boarding
house registers show but scant arrival OF
those who gave countenance to the War
moth McEnery conspiracy three weeks
ago, and of these the sensible portion are
committed to a recognition and participa-
ton in the legitimate government as soon
as the regular session of the Legislature
cOnvenes.
We may as well be frank at once, and
tell the Times (No. p that its game is I'M
dorstood. Violence will not win, men
dacity can not pay, and its only hope Of
gaining credit for political sagacity or
business ability must be by changing
front on the policy pursued by its prede-
cessor. And yet we desire to be under
stood as not inviting the Times (No. y

A POLITICAL DYSPEPSIA.

In discussing the old question OF lthe
fall of empires and the fatal constipation
of republics, according to the approved
rules of academic elocution, the P'coy0"e
Saws the South has been given over to the
Bosom of destruction in being surrendered
to the dominion of the negroes. Ii we
had as poor an opinion of the white folks
that constitute "this people as tne
editor has who indites such nonsense as
the above about them, we should advise
ourselves to seek country where the
Bosom of destruction was less distinctly
apparent to the naked eye. When the
people of the South quit fighting each
other, and agree to live as men should
live, this distemper concerning the "be-
som " will die out, perhaps, but until that
happy time comes the political stomach
will find itself affected with dyspepsia
of this sort that will affiict it whether

A NEW LEAE,

There are seasons of pause and retro
spect, When even the most thoughtle8s
feel impelled to examine their moral posi-
ton; to criticise their conduct; to anaIyze
their motives; to measure their progress
on the road of self-culture; to ask them
selves the important questions, cam
filter to die?' Gam l filter to live?" All
commemorative days furnish such occa-
sions, but especially birthdays, and most
especially the birthday of new year. 1t
is idle to object to such self-examinations,
and the naturally resultant resolutions of
amendment, that they are usually futile,
that our future lives are the necessary off
spring Of the past, and that no man can
be other than his past life has made
him. The history of Christianity is the
history of individual reformations. 4
single great thought earnestly received,
taken to heart, may make the reprobate of
to-day the incipient saint Of tomorrow,
separating as with a gulf the life of amall
that is, the outward, visible life, into two
distinct parts. Ii is only coming to ones
self, that is all seeing things as they are,
recognizing the morally right as the only
thing to be done, and everything else as
folly and vanity And vain indeed must
be the man who can stand on the bcunlaly
line which separates the old year from the
new without some such retrospective and
interpretive thoughts. Nor should such
reflections be confined simply to ones
private character or domestic relations.
The duties of citizenship are as important
as any that deyolye upon 4 Irresponsible
being; and lie who neglects them can not
plead in extenuadon that he is
a good father or husband son
or brother; that bis name is good con
change that he is a church member, a
contributor to numerous benevolent funds.

stand all the Affections of the prosecuted
all over the world-the burning of here
tics, the horrors of the French revolution,
the grievances of the fathers of the Ameri-
can republic, the suferings of the poor
slave, and all manner of torture, except
that of being deprived of the pleasure of
cheating the Republican party out of its
victory.
Let us assure these sufferers that it is
not the acuteness of the pangs the mar
tyrs feel that enlists our sympathy, but
the business of their cause. When bad
children receive merited punishment, and
relate the manner of it, they generally re-
ceive the unsympathizing answer Served

ern mourners. The SIZES they practiced
upon their fellow men have brought the
punishment that might have been eX-
pected.
Let these deluded people come to their
senses, reform their conduct, cease their
insulting attacks upon the negroes and
their friends, and try to live void of Of
Tense, and their troubles will soon cease.
It is by their deserts that they will receive
sympathy, not by the intensity OF their
self-imposed sufferings.

q RECOGNITION.U

This matter Of recognition is getting to
be monotonous. Only a week Or two ago,
according to the gospel of the One Hun
bred, to recognize Republican official
was contamination deserving expulsion
from heightened society Since then our
entire Democratic city administration
have gladly accepted commissions from
Governor Pinchback, and stand COM
mitted to support the government which
he represents. Democratic officers in
every parish where the vote justified it
have been found equally ready to obtain
their rights and concede reciprocity of
fair dealing, not excepting from this cate
CORY our own Democratic parish judges,
sherifs and other officials.
That estimable young gentleman, who
has been claiming in Washington, the
dignifcd and celebrated Office of Attorney
General OF Louisiana, must also have felt
yesterday that this sort of recognition was
becoming rather commonplace. 1t was
all well enough to sport plumes borrowed
from Warmoth, where there was nobody
to dispute his right thereto; but wearing
them before that upright and infexible
old Democrat, Judge Abel, proved a diff
ferent thing entirely. Our reporter tells
the story of usurping official cast out,
and upon this mere fact we have no COM
ment to make further than that the Judge
did his duty. Still, We must remark, that
recognition" is getting to be decidedly
fashionable
The same feeling-or rather conviction
of the right-prevail5 throughout the
parishes. The general sentiment is that
stable government, in full accord with the
national government, should be e8tab-
lished aud finding this promise in Kel-
logg and his associates, the people are
perfectly content. Several Democratic
legislators have returned, after brief holi-
day visits to their constituents, and for
recognizing" the legitimate government
they received unqualified commentator.
In fact, we doubt if d demonstration, re-
spectacle even in numbers only, could now
be gotten up even in the city, that would
refuse to recognize the regular Republican
government which it WAS lately 50 popu-
Iar with the mob to dcncunce.

A WITNESS FOR The DEFENSE.

We publish below, as sample of
"Southern literature, the letter Of
''Candor, in which be sets forth what he
bindly supposes to be the cause Of all the
trouble in the late rebel States. We are
perfectly willing to let this letter go forth
to the civilized world, as it shows for itself
conclusively, authoritatively and plainly
the spirit that pervades the enemies Of
RepUblicauiSm in the South. It discloses
the animus that influences those who would
build Chinese wall around the fair acres
OF this sunny land, and shut us up to
sta9nation and decay. As Mr.. Ca1dor
very truly observes, his sentiments are
not universal, but they are. nevertheless,
too prevalent for the best interests of
Southern communities.
II will be observed that there is in the
writings and sentiments Of such bogus
Southern men as Candor, an arrogant as
sumption Of superiority, 4 miserable con-
ceit of virtue AID Innocence, which ig-
nores the errors and crimes OF half a CEN
fury, and claim On behalf of the old
shareholders Of being the only injured par
ties in the great mutations created by the
war they waged against the Union. The
letter IS al outspoken avowal of the senti-
ments Of that unfortunate portion of our
people who are too blinded with selfish
ness and bigotry to recognize the fact that
the contest here is provoked IL their own
denial Of human rights to more than one
half the population Of the South. When
these rights are gracefully conceded, there

FORTITUDE IN AFFLICTION,

The fortitude with which some people
can contemplate the Affections of others
is remarkable. Yet these same heroes.
when touched ever SO lightly themselves,
roar a howl about their griefs with all the
strength of their lungs. We have q case
in point The Pjcqy11e, for instance,
gives its experience in this wise:
The aggressions on our fathers by the
British tyrant, "a recorded in the Dcclar-
alton OF Independence. were as nothing
compared with those We now endure.
Now, this is 4 very good ezampls. The
suferings Of the fathers took place 50 long
ago, and at such a 5istance from the Pic
oy,a.e Office. that all the acatcncss Of the
agony has been meIlowed and softened,
and ceases to aflict. In Ike manner, the
ou4erings OF the poor slave, who was per-
suaded to service early and late, in sun
shine and storm, by the gentle crack of
the whip, were as nothing to tie disap-
pointed whites when they could no longer
enjoy themselves in that manner. There
is fortitude enough il the ''5outh" to
