plantations used to be when they mortgaged
their expected cotton crop in the beginning
Of the year for money to purchase their sup
plies. One reason for this change was the
difficulty of borrowing, but it has proved
of great advantage. The cultiyators save
interest, save the profits of middle
men and the expense of transporta-
ton, and live in greater comfort, plenty
and independence There is but one voice
throughout the South as to the advantages
Of this change of system.
We refer again to Georgia because this is
the pattern State OF the South in enterprise
and improvement. Georgia was the first TO
enancipate herself from carpet-bag rule,
and she enjoys great advantages of position.
All the railroads which connect the
Mississippi Valley with the Southern
Atlantic coast meet at Atlanta, a
point in her territory. Her navigable
rivers and enterprising cities favor the
development Of her resources She is open
ing new railroads and the stock of some Of
her old ones is advancing prodigiously in
price. She is purchasing expensive ocean
steamers, and within a year five hundred
thousand dollars OF new capital has been
invested in new cotton factories. She is
setting an example which the neighboring
States are following with varying degrees
of success, and on the general revival of
prosperity throughout the country the
Southern States are likely to enjoy their
full proportionate share.

Whistler's Da IN u ges.

Mr.. Ruskin, critic, said OF Mr.. Whistler,
painter, that his '.ill educated conccit
nearly approached the aspect Of wilful i'm
posture and that he was q coxcomb who
asked two hundred guiueas for ''fiinging q
pot OF paint in the publics face" Hemeant
10 say that Mr.. Whistler's pictures were
bad as pictures that there was no art in
them and no artistic labor; in fact, that
they were dauls, mere siaps and dashcs of
pigment thrown at the canvas Mr.. Whist
Ter does not deny this, for he admits that
he painted his thousand dollar pictures in
q day. But he claims that though they are
daubs they are not ordinary daubs, but
that they are redeemed and gloriied and
raised to the regions OF art by o
theory in regard to color, which
theory he has expressed by terms
which sound absurd because they are not
used in pictorial art, but are appropriated
to certain conceptions in music. Mr.. Whist
Ter sued his critic, and for his pains got
from the jury verdict which implied that
|. he had received no damage-either that his
pictures had no character to lose or that
Ruskn's i'll word had ceased to be scandal
ous. But is il not little odd for Ruskin
TO object that ii il not art for men to fling
pots Of paint in the face OF the public
How about Turner, then? Mr.. Whistler
seems q little daft on color, but will ne ever
be such raving mailman as Turner was?

The Gooch Imposture.

In this days HERALD is given the re-
mander of the examination into the case
of Lady Gooch, who endeavored to foist
upon her husband false heir for the
purpose, as it was argued, of preventing
the regular descent Of an Inheritance to
the rightfnl persons. As will be seen
by the proceedings reported, the hus-
band of this lady, having exposed
the attempted swindle and thereby
performed what he conceived to be his duty
toward his own relatives, declared himself
willing to forgive his wife and sought the

the booty. They had to catch them, for
man pointed them out.


The interesting scene in the Senate
Chamber at Ottawa. which our CORE
spondent SO briefly described in yester-
days HERALD, should not have excited
his wrath. Being republican, let him be
merciiul in viewing the fexile spinal col
umns of Canada. Looked at as an Amer
lean spectacle the levee may be rs odd as it
is novel. As a Canadian entertainment it
may be regarded as an experiment. If Her
Alajesty's subjects in the New Dominion
are simply parboiled courtiers they have
been put in the pot late in 4ife and had
only little simmering. When we recog-
nize the fact that your true court lobster
has been boiled for years and years before
he has the proper hardness OF shell and
crimson Tyrian tint, the exact digniied
slowness OF advance and retreat on trying
occasions in the presence of his brother
Holsters, it is manifest injustice to expect
the soft-shelled Canadians to 50 through
the evolutions with the precision Of veter-
ans. 1t will not do to endeayor to look at
this levee from both sides Of the line at
once. We have no doubt TINT the crimson
chair is all right, and the red canopy all
right, and the hundred attendants in red
all right. The bow of the Marquis is re-
ported to be unyarying in its motions,
which is sign not TO be rejected that the
Governor General was all right. 1t was
evidently the Canadians who were all
wrong. They probably had been instructed
by twelve or fifteen different dancing mas
ters, and the result was doubtless
variety Of courtly inclinations, includ-
ing the Red River triple-bob friendly,
the Oriental salaam and the discreet
dip Of the heightened funky, as
we'll as the court bow de rigeur, which
should, we are told by authority, represent,
"O great respect, (2) humility, (3) dig
nifty" In the endeavor to pass through
these distinct phases successfully, instead
Of combining them in one inexpressible
tiexion of the muscles, the good backwoods-

then suddenly wiggling and crouching as

able, perhaps amusing, but it is nothing to
get mad about Should Canada i'll year or

The WEAIHER.--Vcry little change has taken

The past twenty-four hours. The pressure is

Missouri aud Mississippi valleys tho two centres
ofhighest pressure being connected by a narrow
strip of high barometer, everything the Lower
Mississippi Valley. The pressure il falling
slowly IN the South west, and disturbance is
evidently advancing from Northern Mexico.
Rain and snow have fallen in the lake regions

sriets except tho South Atlantic aud Eastern
