MECHANICS IN THE SoUTH.-The tim e
was when mechanics Of the North were de-
manded in the South. and many went there
and settled and received high wages. That
was before the government fell into the
hands ofthe "spoilers. The Delaware Repu6-
icGn used to tell us that when slavery was
abolished the land would rise to SO great
price that the value the planter had in the
negro would thus be more than repaid, and
we were left to infer that wages would in
crease proportionally. How glaringly the
fanatics deceived the people the prices
since the abolition of slavery shows. We
only remind the Radical editors of these
things 10 prove to them what fools, or
knaves, they have been in. the past, and to
caution the people against trusting their
promises in the future. They promised the
owners of lands high prices iftheir schemes
were carried out, and the mechanic high
wages likewise. How false these prom ises
have been we propose to prove from the
following article cut from the Republican, of
yesterday, one of the papers that made the
promises years ago, and the same editor
presides over its columns to-day.

Poor SOUTH CARoLINA-South Caro-

Mr.. EDIToR-If the government of
the United States at the outset of the
war, had sold its bonds for coin; put the
coin in the treasury, and on that as a
basis issued three dollars to one in green
backs, the war might have been fought
through with comparatively small in
terest bearing debt. 80
That is what any set of bank men in
this city would have doue had they been
placed il that position. ... ..
The United States should never sell
any bonds except for coin. There would
lave been no difficulty In dol 1g this, ex-
cept for the demonetization of silver.
That was mistake, and under the
circumstances wrong to the country.
The idea of taking ap the greenbacks,
by fresh issue of bonds; that is of con-
verting non-interest bearing debt, into
an interest bearing one, in the present
condition of the country is worthy Of tho
brain that conceived it. No, better sell
the bonds for coin u-til there shall be
then the greenback will be as good as
glod. go
Instead, however, of collecting and re-
tanning coin, the government has &C
tuanv been selling it.
Even after the greenback now in circula
ton, have been thus secured, the policy of
the government should be to collect coin
and issue more greenbacks, three to one
ofthe security, by taking up allbonds that
are not expressly made payable in gold
If the government should sell one
hundred millions of new bonds at four
per cent. for coin and put the coin in the
treasury, it would contract a new annual
interest of four millions of dollars. But
if on that coin as a basis, it should ex-
change three hundred millions of new
greenbacks, for that amount of bonds
that now draw six per cent interest, il
would save fourteen millions of annual
interest besides supply the the country
with abundance Of good, substantial cur
rency. w. +. QUtNBY.

ANOTHER NOVEL USE FOR PAPER
Steadily increasing are the fuses to

ventive genius of the Old World are
quite as active as ours in experiment.
ing with the article that was SO long
considered as not adapted to any other
purpose than that to which printers
and writers have for so many years
put it. Paper is coming into vogue as
a building material, and is being put
into competition with fre-proof safes,
having been endowed with properties
that defy the action of flames and the
vicissitudes of the weather. An Eng
lish sea captain of an ingenious turn
has succeeded in rendering paper a
water repeller of such potency, that
ne proposes to sheathe ships bottoms
with it in lieu of the metal hitherto
used exclusively for that purpose. The
British seaman is giving his ship
sheathing paper q practical test by.
placing it onjthe hull of an oeean-go-
ing craft at Portsmouth. Not only
does the Inventor claim impenetrabili-
ty to water for his prepared paper, but
ne further insists that seaweed will
not grow upon its surface, and that
barnacIes cannot adhere to it. Both
the latter-weeds of the deep, il, thew
may be so called-are source of AN.
noyance and expense to navigators
and ship owners. IF the paper cover
ing for the outsides of bulls of yes-
sells is all that the inventor sets forth.
an additional use for paper is assured
How it is prepared for submarine ser.
vice the progressive captain does not
tell; he would not be a shrewd man i'll
