The Supreme Court at Jackson,
last Saturday, rendered a very i'm

18th Circuit. Heretoforeit has been
accepted as law, that where a pay
ment had been made upon a note,
such payment took the instrument
out of the statute of limitations.
According to the late decision, no
note can now be collected after six
years, on the ground that partial
payment has been made. The
payment is to be considered as an
acknowledgment pro tanto and
not for the entire debt.

"Hauling Sand"

The Austin Transcript, edited
by Judge HarW ood, Secretary OF
the State Senate, whose Republi-
canism is of the strictest sort, has
the following allusion to one of
the recipients of the $4,000 Con-
gressional steal:
SAND.-Some time last fall the
rs announced that Congress-
man Dunnell had secured the plans
for an elegant addition to bis resi-.
dence which was to be built next
summer at an estimated cost of
$4,000. Not few Of the gentle
mans home constituents were at
a loss to know how he was to "raise
the wind. The thing has recent
ly been made clear. A short time
snce a we'll known teamster at
Owatonna, who had previously
been in Dunnell's employ, received
a very laconic dispatch. 1t ran
thusly, Go to hauling sand. /"
The next day the scales tell from
the eyes Of innocent supporters
when they read the Congressional
news and learned that the Honora
bic p gentleman bad voted them
selves each $4,000, in addition to
their regular salary for the current
term. Those fellows must have
"thirgs" reduced to IA mathematic,
al basis to enable them to deter
mine agar in advance just how
much money each will be able to
employ in building a new house.

The Chicago Times has this
to say of a Democratic Con-
gresham Of that State:
"Hon. John NJ. Crebs, Repre-
sentative in the forty-second
Congress from the thirteenth
district of this State, is to be
added to the list of those men,
bers who after opposing the sal
airy grab by their votes, had the
honesty and consistency to re-
fuse toavil themselves of the pro-
ceeds. He is also to be added to
the shorter list of those who did
not use the swag to buy popu-
lar favor, by presenting it to
some home institution, or to
the State or municipal govern
ment, but left it where it be-
longed, in the treasury Of the
United States.
The Chicago Journal, a Re-
publican organ, refers to Mr..
Creb's action as follows:
"The fact that Mr.. Crebs is a
Democrat should influence the
Senators and Representatives
of our own party to disgorge-
that is, such of them as have not
already done So"
In his letter returning his
back pay to the Treasury De-
partment, Mr.. Crebs says: Gas

sage of the bill for increase of

ceive the money."-Union and

Federal InhumanitY.

1.-The soldiers took four scalps,
including Scar Faced Charley's."--'
from the Modoc Camp,
april IS.
We think it is high time for the
moral sense of the community to
revolt at the demoniac cry for
vengeance that breashes through
the dispatches and officers of the
Unitea States Government, when
ever they speak of the Modocs.
If the Modocs are to be punished
to the death, let it be done decent.
ly at least-iD a manner justified
by the rules of civilized warfare.
General Gillem's command has no
more right to scalp Indians or
butcher the squsws and their in
fants, than Sherman had to set fire
to Columbia and to scatter gener-
al desolation on his line OF march
through the South.
If the country adjacent to the
lava beds cannot be protected from
murderous forays until the Mo,
docs are all killed, then it may be
necessary to fight them until they
are conquered, and the civilized
nations of the world will justify
the stern necessity.
But the cry for revenge is not a
demand for justice, or right or hu.
mainly. The soldiers of the Uni
ted States army are no more iusti.
fable in mutilating the bodies of
the slain Modocs than were the
English in placing captured Sepoys
before the mouths of their cannon,
and blowing them to atoms.
While we denounce the act of
treachery by which General Can.
by lost lis life, yet the life of Can
by is no better than the life of any
private settler, and we denounce
the spirit of bloodthirstiness when
the nation has recently exhibited.
We denouDce the crime of scalp.
ing committed by United States
troops as an act Of inhumanity and
fendish atrocity.
We denounce it az relic of
barbarism.
We denounce it as stain upon
the character of the nation.
We denounce it as blot upon
the civilization of the age-against
which should be entered the indig-
uant protest of every enlightened
community.

Words Of Truth and So
berneSs.

The true secret of the fail
ure Of many Of our Southern
factors is explained in the fol-
lowing remarks of H, Hale, of
Columbus, Mississippi. He is
a practical manufacturer, and
he understands the subject full
ly that he discusses. Why will
not men of capital use their
means in improving the coun-
try, and thereby enriching them
selves. Listen to what he says:
"Unbounded forests are all a.
round rs, yet we buy buckets
made in Massachusetts,, and
brooms from Connecticut; min
erals are in our earth, vet for
want of capital, skilled labor
and commercial aid, we import
al! our nails, our plows, our AK
cs, and even the handles. We
produce the cotton, and away it

state, TO the boundaries of St.

And why do l do SO? For want
Of capital to put up the necessa-
~ machinery; first, the want
of sufficient capital to enable
me to prepare and put up the
required machinery beforehand,
20 as to take a contract and
complete it in a given time,
by collecting and concentra-
ting all that is needed to con-
plete the job. Capital must
come out literally in Inc sup
port Of our mechanical and man
ufacturing interest. Capital is,
however, sensitive and timid.
If, says the rich planter, you
can insure me twenty cents on
my capital, / will make the in
vestment? Does he do so when
he buys a farm? Does he not
take the risks Of the seasons?
Does he not take the risks of the
market? Then, why not take
some risk, where, under proper
management, he may calculate
upon as good a dividend as up
on his farming operations? One
thing is in the way, and that is,
the want of skilled labor. Ow-
ing, however, to ingenious ma
chinery now in almost every
branch of manufacture, fewer
skilled men are wanted than
formerly, the tirst-class men al
ways find employment at their
own price, and in their own
country, which in many instan-
ccs, is large one. This throws
upon the public and the South,
which is only in its infancy, a
second class, who are floating
about for misunderstanding
how eager we are to get good
men, they put extravagant pri-
ces upon their work with us,
when at home they would hard
ly have a journeyman's place in
the shop; and we, ignorant and
destitute of the requisite knowl-
edge ourselves, employ them,
nmtil too late we find out they
are not our men; another and
another are thus employed with
no better results. Thus many
of the pioneer establishments Of
our sister State of Alabama
went to the wall, and but few
survived the conflict"

tered to the Radicals the follow

"Your political party has had

made and unmade theState gov
ernments in the South at will,
and there is no element of mis-
government for which your par
ty are not responsible. The min
gled web of ignorance andfraud,
Of corruption and venality, of
rapacity and crime, in whose
meshes those unhappy communi-
ties have vainly struggled, was
woven by your hands, alone.
And when you cannot unite it,
you call in the sword to cut it.
"Such has been, since the war
closed, the history ofyour rule;
such it will continue to be until
the whole basis of your rule is
changed, and you cease to sus-
tain ignorance and vice in their
contest with the virtue and in
