raw corn like horse he will become a

ragement and liberal rewards" to
change the nature of the negro, and
you will find that after all, he neces-
sarily remains no more, no less, than
the being he was before you fed him
beautifully on the sweet-meats OF the
White Mans civilization. These sweet
meats are pleasant to take, easy Of di-
gestion, but utterly powerless to re
surrect capital in an ex-slave
or his offspring, for any per-
manent benefit of others.
What the freedman and his posterity

see. Sixty years ago one might see
thousands of colored people farm Ia
borers in the valley of the Mohawk and
that of the Hudson in the State of New
York They were manumitted, and
their children had the benefit Of free
schools. many of them mixed at that;
but not one negro in ten thousand has
resurrected dime of capital '.from the
same stock pruned by the same hus-,
bandman." For fifty years in New
York. and fifty hundred years in ARR
ca facts have contradicted this prun-
ing, this grating, this cross-breeding
negro-husbandry. If you are free and
need a man get a white man; if you
want mule, take one with four legs
rather than with two.

STEAM ON CANALS.

The City Of New York, the first
steam canal boat, has just completed a
voyage from Albany to Buffalo, having
accomplished the journey in manner
perfectly satisfactory to the advocates
of steam on the canals. MIR. Baxter,
the inventor, has received one-third of
the preniuni offered by the State. He
will build twenty-of these boats during
the season, and viii have at least ten
of them OH the canal before the 18th of
July. It is intended that these boats
shall make the trip from Buffalo to
New York in six days, which is four or
five days less than is now made by the
horse boats. A company for carrying
this out is already organized, and
CLAIMS to have capital of s1,000,00O.
We rejoice at the success of this ad-
vance in canal transportation, as it will
promote needed improvements in our
Southern and Western rivers and aid
in making canals that will serve the
double purpose of cheap transportation
and profitable irrigation. The time is
coming when successful agriculture
will demand the full utilization of the
water that falls on the vast area
drained by the Mississippi and its afhu-
ents. The people will greatly improve
all natural streams and construct many
artificial rivers large enough for
steamers. -.
The annual precipitation from the
clouds which gives existence to such
magnificent lakes of fresh water as
Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and
Ontario, is more than equaled in our
Southern region. The possibilities of
such climate, with indefinite square
miles of rain water having a depth
running from thirty to fifty inches per
annum, with fertile soil below, pre-
sents commercial problems of endless
variety and of inestimable moment.
There is a positive disadvantage in
having so many thousands of square
miles of soil covered with water the
year round, as in the icy North, as
there is in having vegetation locked in
cOngelation long enough for the growth
of an average crop every year. These
facts are mentioned not to disparage
the natural advantages of our neigh
bors, but to call attention to our own.

SOUTHERN TRADE WITH EUROPE

At meeting of the Charleston, S.
c., Chamber Of Commerce, last week,
Mr.. J. Adger Smyth submitted a
lengthy report of the result of his re-
cent visits to Augusta, Atlanta, Knox
vile, Nashville, st. Louis, Louisville
and Cincinnati, in the interest of direct
trade with Europe by line of Liver
pool and Charleston steamships. He
states that the greatest interest was
manifested in the project by the COM
mercial bodies Of the cities named, and
that the leading railroads not only.
promise through bills of lading to the
interior as far as St. Louis, but also
such freight tariffs as may be found
necessary to SECURE the business. He
obtained written promises from mer-
chants at various points, including
Nashville, guaranteeing the direct i'm
portation of foreign goods the first year
to the extent of Isl, 100000. Many 9TH
ers were unable to state the amount,
but promised to order their foreign
merchandise by the proposed line. All
expressed hearty sympathy and a de-
termination to patronize the Charles
ton steamers, if they give facilities
equal to the present. Mr.. Smith con-
cludes:
If regular steamships were running
between Charleston and Liverpool, with
proper and punctual dispatch and rea-
sonable rates of freight, the foreign
goods imported by these interior cities
Would amount to several millions of
dollars within one year from the date
of their establishment. There can be
no ouestion that the entire West Is In
earnest in their desire to open new
channel for their imports and exports
free from all the embarrassments and
DELAYS that now annoy and harass
them and their attention is certainly
very strongly attracted to our South
Atlantic coast, and the peculiar ad-
vantaces and inducements 1t offers for
the great highway of their trattlc with
Europe, the West Indies and South
America.
Charleston must strikewhile the IRON
is hot. for Savannah also is moving IN
this matter, and, between the two, we
are pretty certain to become CONNER
cially independent of Northern ports
within few years. !

WHY WE NEED A COTTON EX-
CHANGE

The crop report of the Memphis Cot
ton Exchange has been published and
the cotton interest of that city is ju-
bilant over it as an achievement. Here
is what the appeal has to say, in the
fullness of its satisfaction:
1t is a production to be proud of, and
shows what great benefits can be Sc
cured by concerted action, such as is
secured by the existence of a cotton
exchange The intelligence this report
includes viii be widely spread, and will
attract great attention from its value
and Importance A summary of its re-
suits viii appear in the Nelv York
Chronicle, and newspaper business
columns everywhere viii chronicle
its main facts. There never was
a document issued from Memphis
more calculated to make our city and
its business known than this. We have
here no string of high-fedged asser-
tions, only facts, plainly detailed, and
those facts proclaim the magnificent
possibilities of Memphis, and show the
rich agricultural area of which she is
the business centre. with a power of
bringing conviction ali the oratory IN
the world could not rival.
We hope we are not mistaken in the
belief that the cotton men of Nashville
evince, by the quiet and transformations
action which they have already taken
in providing for a delegation to the
Augusta convention, a determination
to establish an exchange in this city at
no distant day. Our cotton trade has
grown so rapidly and assumed such
important proportions that an exchange
is not to be regarded only as possible
expedient; it has become an absolute

WHY WE NEED A GRAIN ELEVATOR

The building of the first grain eleva-
tor IN Nashville will hasten the inaug-
uration of a new commercial era in this
section. The project of steam lines to
Europe from Charleston and Savannah
does not merely contemplate the i'm
portaIion of foreign goods, but also the
expectation of our own produce. St.
Louis is one of the large granaries of
the West, and its railroad distance
from the sea at Charleston is much
shorter than at New York. The estab-
ishment of these steamers is therefore
liable to attract large amount of grain
In this direction. Such a movement
will relieve the pressure on Northern
railroads, and give our own such an
increase of business as Will enable them
to reduce their local rates. 1t Will help
to remove the complaints of the West,
and at the same time benefit the South.

McMahon a stupid soldier, for the
reason that the Marshal failed to put
an end to the Comnaunard when in his
power. Rochefort's idea of interna-

abolish nationalties and melt all hu-
