The Rev. H. NJ. Turner has written a
communication to the Savannah News
on the subject of negro emigration to
Africa. Ifhis project of negro exodus
could be carried on it would be the
fault of the race If 1t did not result in
the regeneration and colonization of
Africa. He says:
] do hold, however, that God, in per.
mittlng the slavery of the negro in
this country, intended it to rebound to
the civilization and christianization of
Africa, otherwise we would have to
charge our Maker with folly. 1 furthe
believe that we (the colored people, like
the Israelites, have ultimately to return
to our father land, and carry with us
the form of civilization and the practice
Of that Christian regligion we have
learned from the white people.
by no means advocate the emigra-
tion of the colored people in mass to
Africa; such policy would be lmprac-
ticable and ruinous to the object con.
templated. But I hold that the time
has arrived for the colored people to
begin the work Providence has assigned
us.
You may ask why I have not gone
My reply is, one, two OF three is not sufi-
cient; we want the foundation of colo
nv. Give me q few shipe, few years
Of subsistence. and some old arms to
protect ourselves, and will raise the
men, and in five years from to-day I will
show you negro nationality somewhere
on the continent of Africa that will be
an everlasting monument of honor to the
whites, of this country, and result in
the salvation ofthousands Of benighted
Africans. I have already written to
three millionaires asking them to aid me
with means to start the work. but up to
this time they have not responded. But
1t will be done sooner or later.

influence felt so as to enforce an honest
administration of public affairs. He ex-
pressed great confidence in the future
prosperity of South Carolina, and init
mated very plainly that hor mountain
region was the source to which we must
look for the leaven Of honesty and re-
form. The masses of the people were
honest, and that they were entitled to
have their wishes respected in preference
to the wishes of politicians and tiicksters.
The entire address was in good taste; its
diction was elegant, and its delivery was
constantly interrupted with applause.

Governor Chamberlain's law firm are
the attorneys for T. G. Dunn, receiver of
Hardy Solomon's broken bank. The
retainer was no doubt handsome. 1t is
just as well to keep everything within
control of those who know all about the
working Of the bank, as many things
that would interest the public can thus
be kept secret, and, as q certain senator
remarked, the goose can be kept iu hand
until 1t is plucked of fevery feather as has
been the case with the Bank of the State
Mr.. Csrdozo is the thorn In their flesh at
present and no doubt great efforts will
Oe made to concillate him. The Union
Herald of last Friday says:
"THE report Of the receiver of the
South Carolina bank and trust company
was read yesterday in court. No new
facts are presented In it, and will not
help to satisfy public curiosity. The dis
counted paper has not realized much in
the three months which have elapsed
since the failure, but we hope the receiver
will be able to collect the sixty or seventy
thousand dollars, as he anticipates. That
will he more than has generally been sup.
posed would accure to the creditors. It
is unfortunate that the loan to the Peo-
pies bank could not have been provided
for without the sale of the securities. The
$61 ,735 in bills of the bank of the state is
a debt against the state, and will eventu-
ally have to lie paid in full. They would
have gone long way toward naking
good the loss on the deposits ii they could
have been used as a set-off in the adjust
ment of..the accounts. We take it for
granted that the proposition to judlcially
investigate the absence of vouchers for
the Legislative expenses paid will meet
the views Of the court. The retirement
Of the stock Of the bank when the con-
cern was iusolvent was clearly illegal,
and cannot protect the seller from liabil.
ity to the creditors of the bank.

Everything, says the New York Natio,

Everything, says the New York Nation,
points now to cotton crop ofsome four
and half million bales, the largest ever
raised; and when we reflect upon the an
noying circumstances which have sur
rounded its planting and cultivation, we
cannot but feel that the croakers and
cynics who are always predicting evil to
our country know little about her Iesour-
ces or capabilities. At the. north we are
accustomed to Interruptions of industrial
or agricultural operations from strikes,
lock-outs, and other difficulties between
employers and employed, but we can
prob .bly form from theae but slight es-
innate of the embarrassment attending
the production of large cotton crop.

THE VOTER, AND THE CURRENCY
QUESTION.

The position of the American voter is
not very diRnified one. theoretically "
he has something to say and do in the
selection Of the man vino is to rule over
him. Practically, he has nothing to do
but to endorse or condemn the man
selected by q circle of politicians. Theo-
retically, q democratic government aff.rds
a fine opportunity for the selection of the
best man for the highest office, by the
voice OF grateful, trusting, and admir-.
ing people. In fact, the best man never
gets the highest Office, aud would never
stoop to the low tricks and disgraceful
compromises of personal dignity and pol
itical principle by which alone, under the
present condition of things, the highest
Office can be secured. Instead of having
government of the people, we have a
government of rings. The rings may not
ALWAYS be fagrantly corrupt; but they
are rings nevertheless, and Tweed's ring
in its day, was no more real or vital
than the rings which are now erdeavoring
to get the control of the country.
Still, the voters have the privilege of
scolding, Of warning, of protesting. 1t
does not amount to much in practical re-
suit, but it helps to work off indignant
feeling, and carries the semblance of in.
dependence. And now, CON behalf of
many voters" and with no man end No
party to serve, there is one word that we
take the privilege of saying to the poli.-
icians, viz, that there is single question
which, in making up their platforms.
and selecting their man, they will do well
TO consider very carefully, and handle
very wisely. 1t relates to the currency
of the country, and 1t has but one right
side. "Much may be said on both sides"
undoubtedly, by the office-seekers and
politicians; but sound policy lies with the
truth. No party in the next Presiden.
tial election can make itself responsible
for the continuance of our present ano-
malous system Of currcncy-much less for
IN exaggeration of it-without running
itself, to say nothing of ruining the coun.
Try. A nation, In the exceptional cir
cumstances Of q war, may live through
its crisis on paper lies; but the moment
the necessity retires, as peas comes in, 1.
must take Its lie along with it, for it can
only remain as Q curse. No nation can
thrive permanently on IrredeemabIe
paper money. We can never have good
times again until we do our business
with truths, and not with falsehoods.
We are living. not only in defiance Of all
sound financial policy, but in discord
with the whole business world. Every
dollar that we handle is practically
protested note, and has no value save rs
It rests upon another promise, not matur
ed, and sure to be inefnitely renewed.
The system is rotten. root and branch,
and, IL the nation cares for its life, the
quicker It gets "out from under" the

The Charleston Neps of late has con :
tained some very able editorials on the
short courings of Attorney General Mel
toa and Comptroller General Dunn, call
ing them to account for wearing the
livery Of Reform in which they seem to
be out Of place. Such articles will no doubt
have q beneficial effect, and make the
men squirm who are so justly hau led over
the Goals. At time when these two
svorthies are hoping for the Republican
nomination for Governor such an expo
sition of their dread of Investigating the
Bank swindle, the Land Commission and
the Republican printing Company is IA
tai to their hopes, as the truth of the Neps
editorials cannot be questioned. If the
Nstcs will only continue the attack it
can accomplish much good and carry
siismay to the ranks OF the bogus reform

A unmbcr of the leading colUred citi-
zens of Philadelphia have issued an ad.
dress recounting the IndignIties which
they have been subjected to by the Union
League of that city. They say the COL
Ored voter is voiceless in the primary
selection of Lawmakers; he is unbeckon
ed by the leaders save when votes are
wanted; hls brethren of culture are ostra-
cized; those who have won positions in
the respectable professions are unnoticed,
and even property owners and heavy
taxpayers are assigned by the League
to places in the rear, as hewers of wood
and drawers of water for the leaders,
who appropriate the honors and emolu-
ments. "Here and there Is thrown a
messengership, or bilI-poeter's commits
sion, or some menIaI place, but when he
aspires to to the Council chair, or to the
Legislature, or to q seat In q State con.
vention, he Is Knocked with contempt for
his pretensions." The signers of ,he ad-
dress declare: Though conscious of
being ina sad minority, we feel 1t to be
our duty to aid Id effecting the defeat
and overthrow of the dictatorial band OF
men, nominally Of both p arties,. but with.
ont true allegiance to either, which noe

SOUND VIEws.-Hon. Reverdy johnson,
OF Md, who ought to be regarded with Dem
ocrats as good authority, has addressed long
letter to the New York Tribune on the curren-
cy question, in which he comes to the fol-
lowing sound conclusions. We commend
them to the Conservative party of Virginia.
First. That the only currency known to the
constitution is gold and silver, OF paper con-
vertible into it on demand.
Second. That nothing but gold and silver
can be made legal-tender.
Third. The government now being perfectly
safe, no danger threatening it, or being appre-
hended, Congress has no power to authorize
the issue OF an irredeemable currency and to
make it a legal-tender.
Fourth. That the credit of the nation, the
true, permanent prosperity of every class of
our citizens, and the arrest of the demoraliza-
ton consequent upon the present state Of
thing demand as speedy a return as practica.
BILE to specie currency.

JUDGE A. B. CoBHRAN.-Although we de-
cidedly differ with Judge Cochran in our party
relations and may not agree with him in some
Of his views of state policy, we take pleasure in
laying before our readers the following evil
dence of the high esteem with which he is
regarded by so able journal as the Richmond
Whig:
JUDGE COCHRAN, OF AUGUSTA. It is
doubtless gratifying to the numerous friends of
this distinguished gentleman in all portions of
the State, to learn that he will be pressed into
senatorial service again by his appreciative
constituency. Virginia will want the abilities
and experience Of such men as Judge Cochran
in her next legislature. He has a big, broad
brain, liberal and progressive spirit, and
heart always true to the best interests of his
State. Ills course in the Legislature has been
marked by clear-headed comprehensiveness,h his
power as a strong reasoner and impressive
speaker has been recognized on all occasions
both by those who agreed with him and those
who dissented from his views, and the high es-
TEEN in which he has ever been held in the
General Assembly has always given him addi-
tional influence in his labors as LEGISLATOR
Such men as Judge Cochran cannot now be
spared from the councils OF the Common
wealth.

The Richmond Whig declares that the fore
ing the question Of constitutional convention
on the people of North Carolina was hazard
Gus experiment for the Conservatives, tending
to repel the generous cooperation which the
better classes of the West and North are offer
ing the South.
1t was certainly more manly than the policy
of the Virginia Conservatives. Here they are
tearing the constitution to pieces stealthily, the
people not really knowing what they are doing
when they vote for the amendments proposed
by the Legislature. OF the two methods, that
of North Carolina was the drawer and more
honest.

Talking with red-hot granger the other

house. We didn't understand him, and
thought he wanted to know how they were
getting on with the ceiling and other improve
ments in progress. But his mind was dis
turbed about bigger things-matters Of State
He meant to be understood as asking lis who
were being talked for the Of Legislature. We
told him we didn't know-that we were more
interested in moral reforms and camp meetings,
temperance societies and base ball clubs, than
the filthy slosh of politics, but we presumed
the old members would be returned. ''Oh,
no!' said he, "Stuart can't 90, and Hanger
can't 90, and neither can Cochran Shocked
at this rebellious temper, we asked him who
could? swell, we are going to send good,
honest farmers, such as this one,' slapping his
hand on the shoulder of a good, honest Ger
man, who would as soon buy ticket to the
realms of Pluto, as to allow himself to dabble
in the cess-pool of legislative corruption.

ly allude to the subject Of his remarks, to
