GHThe discomfort, the murmur-

citizen and he should trace it to its
cause. While it is difficult to enact
laws that will establish the proper re-

citizen can think for himself and by
acting according to the dictates OF
reason and conscience, the knotty
problem will soon be solved.

VERY SERIOUS, If TRUE!

The recent disturbances in the
United States have forced to the sur
face many importent questions affect
ing the condition of the working
classes, and the probable future of
the country. Among these foremost
place must be accorded to that which
concerns itself with the disposal of the
surplus population ofthe country, 1t
has been roughly estimated that there
are at least three millions of working
people in the United States at the
present time without employment,
and without any certain prospect of
obtaining it. If this statement be
true, it suggests large amount of
privation and suffering, which must
eventually tell painfully upon the peace
and prosperity of the country.
What may be the primary superin-
ducing causes of this melancholy state
ofthngs it is not at present our purpose
to consider. The question of perhaps
still greater moment is how can this
vast aggregate of human beings be
scattered over the country to the
greatest advantage? or how may en-
ployment be found for them, so as to
diminish the amount of public dis
tress actually experienced, and lessen
the extent of danger which threatens
the peace of the Union from starva-
ton, on the one hand, and unbridled
passion on the other? This brings
forward very grave view of the sub
ject recently presented, and which, if
true, is nothing less than alarming.

Precept vs.. Practice.

The Times has been calling loudly
upon Gov. Stone to violate his oath of
office by usurpng the functions of the
judicial department and indicting, trying
and furnishing the Kemper people, but
the editor of that journal, while censur-
ing others for not performing extra
official labors, does not seem to have
been anxious for the United States Mar
shall to have engaged in that sort of
equivocal service, judging from the fol
lowing statement by correspondent OF
the Pilot. We will preface it by remark
ing that if the Marshal had undertaken
the removal of ChisoIm from the county,
he would have encountered the writ in
the Sherif''s hands for his arrest and
confinement on the charge of completely
in the murder of J. w. Gully, which
would have complicated matters.
If the Times was not willing for the
u. S. Marshal to assume a doubtful
responsibility, why is it bounding Gov.
Stone for not exercising powers confded
by the Constitution which he is sworn to
obey, to another department?

from the Senatorial contest, and express

to do all in his power to accomplish that

letter, sent telegram TO member of

EVERYBODY takes hand in governing
the South. She is assaiied With admoni
ton and reproof on every hand, within
and especially without. Two men who
advertise that they are related to the
black people not by what the bard of
Avon calls the "touch of nature" but by
''ties of consanguinity, and that they
are named Williams and Anderson, resi-
dents of Ohio, have sent to the CLARION,
in order that they may have notoriety, a
copy of circular, which they have
addressed ito the colored voters of the
South, on President Hayes Southern
policy" These self-consttuted guides,
after the customary hourishes about sla-
very. begin by announcing to them what
would seem the astounding intelligence
that the ''organic life of the just (Repub-
q lican) party to which they have chung,
" is crushed" and that the hour Of their
$ dire calamity" has coAe. The colored
Republicans will receive this as curious
news in the face of the fact that they
were assured before the election that if
Hayes was made President they would
be supremely blessed. Yet here in the
first bloom of his Administration this
woful lamentation is heard in the land.
The cause, however, is not attributed to
the detection of Mr.. Hayes. 1t is ex-
planned as follows:
The Republican Governors of South Car
DINA and Louisiana confessed, in official
documents TO the Executive, that their
gubernatOrial chairs were tOtterlug; and
that without the interference of the baYnntt
they would certainly fall. 4 uojce lo,d and

principle of ''non-intervention" should

. both races. Peace and good will have
been established between the races. The
colored people have unlearned their
mistake that the Democrats, if in power,
would deprive them of their rights. and
are reposing under the vine and fig tree
of their newly acquired privileges per-
fectly contented, and only asking that
outsiders and busybodies will cease from
troubling them.

LAST week we mentioned the ship
ment by the Messrs. Stackhouse Of
Strawberries from Crystal Springs to
Chicago. We have since learned that
Mr.. +. +. Stackhouse has already
shipped from one acre ofland 600 quarts
with a prospect Of shipping at least as
much more. They We're sold at 80 TO
- certs quart. The cost of transpor-
tation and preparing them for market
amounted to about = cents a quart
making the gross proceeds about $500.
From this deduct say 500 for purchase
of plants, cultivation, etc, and there re-
mains net profit of $3.50 for the pro-
duet of one acre of ground. What in
