National Polit,os.

The present condition Of political
parties in the United States, while
perplcxing to q certain extent, is no 0
the less interesting. 1t is said by
some that the tendency of the times
points 70 an approaching dissolution
Of tho two principal national political
parties now in existence, in whose
place and upon whose ruins will be
erected n national organization Of
great strength and inAuen ce, under
the leadership o { such men as Senator
Booth, Of California, and Gen.
Banks, .f Massachusetts,. Under
certain circumstances this migat
cventuatc at 10 distant day, but we
arc not yet prepared tv believe that
it Will happen in our generation.
Recent developemcnts confirm tho
belief that the great struggle in 1876
will te fought in thu main by the
same political parties that have oon>
tended for tho mastery in this country
for two or three decades past. 1t
might added that it would seem "a
if too the Presidential contest next
year might not bo altogether unlike
that in 1860, tho position of the two
parties being, however, almost wholly

certainly the public creditors will

but if Mr.. Cal doza is removed, the
stone of the public credit will have

Thanksgiving Proclamation.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 27, /;

=. WASHINGTON, Oct. q, 1875.
I'm accordance with q practice at once
wise and beautiful we have been accus-
toned, as the year is drawing to close,
10 devote an occasion to the humble ex-
preston of our thanks to Almighty God
for the ceaseless and distinguished bene-
fits bestowed upon us as nation, and for
His mercies and protection during the
closing year. Amid the rich and free
enjoyment of all our advantages we should
not forget the source from whence they
are derived and the extent of our obliga-
tions to the Father of all mercies. We
have full reason to. renew our, thanks to
Almighty God for favors bestowed upon
Ills during the past year.
By His continuing mercy civil and re-
ligious liberty have been maintained,
peace has reigned within our borders, la
Dor and enterprise have produced their
merited rewards, and to His watchful
Providence we are indebted for security
from pestilence and other national calam.
ity. Apart from the national blessings
each individual among us has occasion: to
thoughtfully recall and devoutly recog-
nize the favors and protection which he
has enjoyed. Now, therefore,
l, Ulysses S. Grant, President of the
United States, do recommend that, on
Thursday, the 25th day of November, the
people Of the United States, abstaining
from all secular pursuits and from their
accustomed avocation, do assemble in
their respective places of worship, and, in
such form as may seem most appropriate
in their own hearts, offer to Almighty
God their acknowledgements and thanks
for all His mcrcies, and their humble
prayers for continuance of His Divine
favorsi. 'i ~.
In witness whereof, I have hercuntc
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.

9th day of October, in the year Of OH

The Drift Of Industry and Capital.

/ Under this head the Baltimore San,
referring to the drift of population
and money to the South, says that in no
other section can crops be cultivated
with less labor, nor are any crops more
remunerative than such, as are peculiarly
adapted to this and the more southern
region. The great change which has
been effected by the abolition of slavery
presents the opportunity for infusing
new elements into Southern life and new
ideas Of industrial enterprise.
The landed interest is now relieved of
the necessity of supporting at its own
cost those whose labor it does not utilize,
the supply of whose wants Las now to be
borne by the class with which it is iden-
| tilted. No matter what the means by
which emancipation was accomplished
this is che effect, and the freedman may
stay or migrate as inclination or circum-
stances may suggest. But in any case he
| is not now in the way of coming white
Immigrants, and will have 10 stir himself
to compete with them when they do
come, and thus add to the proGtableness
of his labor to himself and the communi-
ty at large. He also becomes to larger
extent consumer of general commodi-
ties, making manufactures more necessa-
ry in the country of his sojcurn than ever
before.
A section which has lost none of its
resources of revenue, and which has in
creased largely the number of its prcfta,
BILE consumers, cannot be said to be in
jured in the long run by emancipation
When society and business in the South
have recovered from the temporary pa.
ralysis caused by the war, revolution ano
succeeding bad government, the value oi
the Southern lands will be so very large
ly restored as to make them most desira
Bile. But, recurring to the general ide'
with which we started, of the evident in
creasing tendency of the public mind tt
turn to industries that may be slow bu
sure, and especially agriculture, after Sc
long q season of undue trading and
speculation, we can but say that it is one
of the most healthful and encouraging
signs of the times that has been notec
since the era of war, and excessive paper
money issues came upon the country
with their demoralizing and ruinous re
suits.

to astertaiE the amount Of. crops, or the
average yield; Of very distant. times past,
but the, average yield per. acre, Of wheat
in the eleventh century was estimatcdby

So three hundred years later, in! 1890,

yield only three hundred and ,sixty-siS
bushels, and on an,average of three years,
little more than that. The actual pro-
ductive power Of Great Britain in the
article of wheat alone increased during
the half century from 1901 to 1851 to
the extent. of; supporting an additional
population of 100000, an increase
which can be ascribedi with confidence
mainly to improved cultivation. So in
every country where agriculture receives
the attention it deserves the productive
power of the soil has. largely Increased.
Even the Atlantic States of the Union
where the system of. cultivating the soil

To the People Of South Cardinals
On the 4th day of July next the first
century of our national life will be COM
| pleted, and the event will be marked by
a Centennial celebration and exhibition
in the City,of Philadelphia. 1t is now
clear that the occasion will be observed
| in manner commensurate with its sig
! nifcance to this nation and to the world
If; among the many communities COM
prising our nation, there are any. which
have stronger reasons than Others for pa
triotic interest in that occasion, they are
the original Thirteen" States which join:
ed in the Declaration of Independence.
South Carolina was not behind the fore
most in the great events Of 1776. Her
right and duty to join in our nations
Centennial celebration cannot be dis
puted.
Up to the present time almost nothing
has been done in this State towards dis
charging the duties. which this event i'm
poses. The causes of this delay need not
be discussed. No causes are sufficient
longer to excuse South Carolina from this
duty. The Central Centennial Commits
sion at Philadelphia have invited the
several States to appoint such boards of
committees as they may judge necessary
for the promotion of the object of the
Centennial celebration, in their respect
i've States. In compliance with this in
vitation have this day appointed the
following citizens of this State as a State
Board Of Centennial Commissioners, to
have in charge the perfecting Of such ar
rangements as they may adopt for pro-
noting and securing the properrepresen-
tation of South Carolina, her resources,
history and industries, at the Centennial
celebration ON July 4, 1876:

This board will have full power to,
make such organization of the State as
they may deem most effective. Irespect-
fully suggest that meeting of the board
be held at the earliest practicable day,
with a view to arrange for such local
county and city organizations as may be
advisable; and to this end I have re-
quested Prof. F. S. Holmes, of Charles
ton, to communicate with the other men,
bers of the commission, and to fix time
and place for such meeting. Time
presses, and the field should at once be
surveyed and Che plans perfected, in Or
