a CARD.

Mr.. EDITOR: Recognizing the wisdom of
Gov. Hampton's advise, that "the people
should select their best men for the Legis-
lature, and require them to serve" we pre-
sent Hon. H. r. Vandiyer to the Democ-
racy Of the County for reelection to the
House of Representatives. If high charac-
ter long experience, mind capable Of ap-
preciating tie wants OF the people, and o
steadfast devotion to their interest, consti-
tute claim to their confidence and suffer-
age, then his friends, confident of success,
ask him to go before the people at their pri-
mary election.
Can't. Vandiver's character and record are
too we'll known TO the people of tie County
to need any extended notice here. We be.
lieve he has served longer in the Legislature
than any man in the County now available
for the position, and during the many years
of this service, both before and since the
war, the record will show as close attention
to the duties of his position on his part aa
that of any Representative who served du-
ring the samo terms. The .firmness and
courage with which he stood by his Demo
cratic brethren in the. dark and perilous
days : November, 49, is sufficient guaran.
; Is. ii,a' II by any misfortune thcss ssll days
should return, he will not be found want.
ing in those qualities which saved the State
in that hour of her extremest deed.
| In the Legislature, Capt. Yandiver is emf.
nently ,rorkin9 member. His friends dc
not claim that he is great speaker, and
they are not SO sure hufthat this Is In some
measure recommenl lation, for it is feared
that the extreme lngth of the legislative
sessions of late yes4s is owing 20 too much
"Buncombc spt4king" and not enough
work.

An Extraordinary Case.

From the Manchester tEngland) Guardian.
A certain peasant 10 the vicinity
of Toulouse, bought COW from one
of his neighbors for the sum of ego
The bargain having been made, tie
two spectators retired to a quiet
nook to complete the transaction
the one to give the money and re,
ceive the COW. the other 70 give he
COW and receive the monet. The
buyer with an amount Of caution
that would argue Scottish descent,
held his new purchase by rope,
while he carefully counted down up
on wooden log or stump twenty
pieces of 20 francs GOLD and bank
note Of 100 francs. At this point
the cow being ofan enterprising and
speculative turn of mind, suddenly.
interfered in the matter, and. TO use
diplomatic phrase good deal used
of late, altered the situation by
making totally unexpected dive
at the stump and swallowed the
bank-note. Naturally, row at once
got up between buyer and seller, the
one maintaining that he had paid for.
the COW, and the other as stoutlv as.
sorting that he had not received the
price of her, oiinching his argument
with the crushing statement that, as
the COW now belonged to the buyer,
and had pocketed the note in her
way, the said document was still in
possession of the purchaser. The un-
fortunate Judge to whom they have
appealed has asked for time to think
the matter ont, and do bis best to
cut out the Gordlsn knot. As our
contemporary remarks, the learned
Judge will find it even more difficult
to decide than the dialecticians of
the Middle Ages-or, as gentle
man OF our acquaintance was once
heard TO call them, the mlddle-aged
dialecticians-found the celebrated
dispute of porous ct saccns. The
question was this: A sack contain
ing a pig was carried to market by
peasant, and it was sought to know
whether the sack or the man carried
the pig. For fifty years at least, the
schoastics wrote numerous folios on
the subject without being able to
settle the problem. And yet that
was trifing matter compared with
the present cow and bank-note case.

Valuable Opinion

A hitherto unpublished letter from
John Stuart Mill, on the subject OF
combination and wages, has been
printed In England. 1t is dated
Avignon, Oct. 4, 1868, and is as fol-
lows: "The workingmen at present
find, or think they find, that their at
temps to obtain higher wages by
combination are thwarted through
their being undersold by foreigners
and they are now trying whether, by
including the foreign operatives 10
the combination, they can remove
this obstacle. This seems to me a
natural experiment for them to try,
and the last experiment of combina-
ton for wages which remains for
them to make and desire that they
may try it to the utmost, so that they
may be convinced that whatever they
cannot accomplish in that way they
cannot hope to accomplish at oil. To
the particular question you ask, the
following is my answer: II combina-
ton to raise wages is confined to a
few branches of industry, or is only
successful in a few, the masters in
those branches are able 10 indemnify
themselves by raising their prices.
But if there were a Universal trades
union, extending to all industries this
could not happen. The masters would
not then be able to raise their prices.
What enables them to do so now is
not their own will to do it, but the
tact that they can remove their capt.
tai to other employments in which
wages have not risen, and in which,
therefore, profits are higher; and
this transfer of capital, diminishing
supply, raises prices in the businesses
which capital is leaving. But if the
rise of wages affected all employ
ments equally, no capitalist could
benefit himself by changing the en-
ployment of his capital, and he would
ee obliged, instead, to submit to
to lower profits. Nor do | see
any limit to .this, except that if
profits fall SO low as not to afford suf
ficient motive for saving, and for ex-
posing savings to the risks of bust
ness, people will cease to save, and
wages will again fall.
