CIVIL RIGHTS IN BARBER SHoP.-A
Chattanooga letter to the Cincinnati CONNER
cial says: That was good reply which a
colored barber in this city gave to a delega-
ton of colored men who called upon him for
the purpose of claiming the right to be shaved
"the same as white man." "Sir," said the
spokesman of the delegation, 1--WE demand the
right to be shaved here"
"It can't be done," answered the colored
barber.
Then the spokesman came down with per-
tinent thrust, saying, "Ain't our money as
good as anybody'sF And thu colored bar
Der answered thus: eyes, just as good, but
there is not enough of it."
That covered the case exactly. 1t was al
answer worthy of a philosopher. The dar-
keys money is as good as anybody's to the
barber, but there is not enoug h of it to COM
pensate him for the loss of his white custom.
The barber, in telling me this circumstance,
said: "I am a colored man, and have to
work for living, and the minute | COM
menced shaving darkeys that minute every
one of my white customers would leave me.
The biggest Radical in town would quit me
lust like the Democrats. It's contrary to the
nature of white man to want to mix that
way with the negroes ; and, what's more, they
won't do it. You can't get white man in
this town to shave in a shop where negroes
are shaved. I wouldn't either, if was them,
and I'm not going to break up my business to
accommodate few swell-head niggers who
want to put on all the style of white men"
Now, when colored men will not admit
their colored brethren to the enjoyment of
equal rights in the barber.shop, how are we
to expect white men to do it

In 1870, when we had crop Of 4,350,OOO
bales, the acreage was only about 100000 acres
above that of this year; and last years crop
about $4,000 bales less than that Of 1870,
although about 100,0 900 acres more was planted
than in the latter year. In 1872, with $4,000
acres more planted than this year, the crop
was 3,93O,OOO bales. The average area planted
for the last four years has been S,Sa2, ,l3o
acres and the average crop tor the same Pc
riod 2,864,294 bales; the acreage is conse-
ouently about g. 900 acres below the late av-
erage; and, therefore, if the law of average
could be relied upon as governing the crop, we
might anticipate yield of about 3,o3O,Ooo
bales.
JUDGE MAcKEY AND SHERIFF YoCuM.-
The following is taken from the Winnsboro
Neaps:
An interesting correspondence has taken
place between Judge T. J. Mackey and Sher'
if Yocum, of Chester. Sheriff Yocum wrote
to Judge Mackey that he could get no money
from the County Commissioners, and that he
had strained his private credit in supplying
prisoners with food that there were two pris-
oners confined. He called his Honor's at
tention to the fact.
Judge Mackey replied that he regretted the

REcoNcIL1AT1oN.-Ith has been proposed at
West Point, says the Baltimore Gazette, to
have grand retinion of the graduates of the
Academy, Federal and ex.Confederate, next
June A resolution has been passed to that
effect. The proposition emanated from Pro-
fessor Davies, of Portland, in his address to
the Alumni of the institution. He made the
appeal as means of healing the wounds left
by the war; as he phrases it, "that from the
sunny memories Of many joys common to
them all, and from the grave of all painful
recollections, never to be disturbed by thought,
by word, or by deed, there may spring up
closer brotherhood, purer patriotism, and
more abiding love of country" Il is believed
that all, or nearly all the Alumni North and
South, are cordially i'll favor of the project.
More than this, President Grant is reported
not only heartily asserting to it, but it is init.
mated that he will be present in person on
the occasion to assist at the celebration.
The CONFEDERATE RECoRrs.-The House
of Representatives at Washington city has
amended thesundry civil appropriation bill so
as to provide for the publication of all official
records of the late war, including the Confed-
crate archives. The new section reads as fol-
lows: "To enable the Secretary of War to be-
gin the publication of the rebellion, both of
Union and Confederate armies, the sum Of
$4,000; and the Secretary of War is hereby
directed to have copied for the public printer
all reports, letters, kilograms and general Or
ders not hitherto copied or printed, and prop
erly arrange the same in chronological order"
The amendment was unanimously adopted,
and is favored by all, thus far. Senator Logan
advocates it in the Senate.

HENRY CRAFT, Eso.-Mr. Shot
well, of Memphis, not being able to
be present at the graduating exer-
cises of the Presbyterian Female
College of this city, Mr., Craft, at
the eleventh hour, was called upon
to supply the vacancy. The class
was large, Tomlin's Hall was filed
with an imposing audience, and ex-
pectation was great, but the speak
er taking for his text sentence
from an admirable essay that had
been read by one of the graduates
-"Build your own house''-made
one of the most instructive, impress
sive and beautiful addresses that
we have ever heard. Mr.. Craft is
one of our closest thinkers, and his
style of speaking is purer and high
er than that of almost any one
whose name occurs to us now. No
matter whether he is in the Su-
preme Court or before general
audience his is always impersonal.
He never offends by egotism. He
has as little use for the personal
pronoun 'I'' as any man we ever
knew, and can speak for hours
without using it. Brilliant at times,
sometimes happily humorous, and
always strong, clear and logical, we
regard him as one of the first men
of the State. 1t gives us addition
al pleasure to speak in his praise,
for the reason that we deem him
causelessly modest and retiring in
his nature.

THE CIVIL RIGHTS BuL.-The indi-
cations now are thas the advocates of
the Civil Rights bill are becoming
demoralized. If they drop the whole
matter it will be better for the Radi-
cal party, better for the blacks, and
for the peace and quiet of the whole
country. We would not like to see
the negro punished for the acts either
Of impudent knaves like Ed. Shaw.
or of such men as Hoar and Ben But
Ter, but this would be the inevitable
result. Unless the white people of the
South are permitted to extend the
blessings of education, and all other
charities, to their former servants, in
their own way, and subject to what
they consider proper conditions, thev
will withdraw all such gratuities,
and confine themselves to their own
race. When Vanderbilt endows n
Methodist University, that settles
tho character of the institution
When the people of Tennessee estab-
hsh free schools, and say that they
shall not be mixed" that settles the
character of the schools, and the Con-
gress of the United States has no
more right to interfere in the latter
case than in the former.

ED. SHAw-This Individual seems
anxioEs to bring about a conflict be-
tween the whites and blacks-of Mem
phis. The Ledgcr of that city, which
Is always calm and dispassiouate,
finds in the recent collisions and
disturbances that have taken place in
our sister city, sufficient cause for Sc
rious alarm, and speaks out III the
following determined and unmistak-
able words.
''The war has been over nine years
/ aud the negroes of Memphis have
I been FREQ since the 9th of June, 1862.
/ They have churches, schools ana eve
~ possible facility for improving
| themselves. What progress have they
made towards refinement or even civ
/ ilizatione Let the disgraceful scenes
of last Saturday, in utter disregard of
| law and decency, be the answer.
! Their conduct shows what they viii
do when in full power. A few per-
| sons, some white and some black, had
| the temerity to set up little booths in
| the vicinity Of the cemetery for the
| sale of soda water, ice cream, fruit,
tobacco, etc, and perhaps Of liquors,
| though as to the latter we are not pos
| tive. \ Mr.. Martin, a white man,
| offered articles for sale OH his own
| premises. Some of the vendors, at
least, had regular licenses from the
| government us well as from the State
| and county. \ ct the President of the
| Pole Bearers took = squad Of his men,
arm d with regulation muskets, and
starred to close their places. 4 mob
of black folks, men, women and chill
dren, at once made rush on the
booths and little stores, and stripped
them Of their contents with brutal
avidity and ferocity. Mrs. Martin
and a white man, an Italian, were
robbed Of money III their pockets,
and were compelled under duress to
submit to the vilest imprecations and
indignities. Many others whose
names We have not obtained, were
mistreated and robbed. And these
are the people who clamor for civil
and social rights, and boast that they
will now sit at the table with white
ladies. 1t happens that highway rob-
berry Is a hanging offence in this State,
and it happens that the grand jury Is
in session. We hope that some of
the perpetrators will be identified
and made an example of to teach the
rest that there is still law enough III
the land 10 punish such Outrages."

The st. Louis Republican SAYS
that the rural organs over in Illi-
nois are having a hard time of it,
while the time they are having gets
harder as the date OF their State
convention approaches. Between
their love of Logan and their fear
of Grant, these rural journalistic
appcndages to country postoffices
are about as nearly distracted as
can be imagined. The absorbing
question is, How shall we indorse
an imitation senator without repu-
dating a contraction President? or
rice Uersa. They are in the posi-
ton of the one-armed man whose
suspenders gave way just as the
wind lifted his new beaver-if he
saved his hat his pants were bound
to come down, and if he held up his
pants he was bound to lose his hat.
