question, but Mr.. Hayes seems to have
decidedly the advantage in the fight, for
if no confirmation is had of the new ap-
pointments he can make others after the
adjournment, and thus prevent Conk-
ling's friends from keeping the offices.
In addition to this the President seems
disposed to take advantage of his oppo-
nents by threatening not to make any
nomination for the German mission un-
til his New York appointments have
been acted on. Thus all Senators who
have friends applying for this appoint
ment will vote to sustain the New York
appointments. Taking everything into
consideration, we are inclined to believe
that the administration will whip Mr..
Conkling out in this fight.

senator Christiancy IS said to have de-
clined the German mission on the ground
that Tie expenses Of the mission would
he beyond his means, and the climate
would not suit him. The Peruvian mis-
sion his been rendered him and he will
accept if confirmed by the Senate, al
though the salary is only $4,000 per
annum, while the German mission has a
salary Of s17, 500. The climate of Lima
is more agreeable, and the customs of
the people more simple than that of Ber-
lin, and therefore the Michigan Senator
prefers the second rate instead of the
6rst.class mission.

Advices from Europe report that The
Rothschilds and other wealthy Hebrews
of England have completed arrange
ments for the purchase of Palestine, and
thus this ancient people, who have re-
mained distinct and separate people in
all lands and at all ages, will repossess
the inheritance of their ancestors, and
the barriers heretofore obstructing their
re-entrance to the Holy Land will thus
be removed. Of course, it is not likely
that there will be any very great emigra-
ton of the Hebrews to this cherished
land at very near day, but Providence
moves in mysterious ways, and this ru-
mored purchase may, if it be accom-
plished, form an important circumstance
in the mode by which one of the dearest
prophecies given to the Jews is at the
appointed time to be accomplished.

Emigration is beginning to turn to-
wards the South as desirable place for
settling Our genial climate, ample and
fertile lands, and our undeyeloped re-
sources are attracting their attention.
Societies to encourage immigration
ought to be formed in every county in
the Stue to induce locations of capital
and steady labor in our midst. Pam
phlets setting forth the advantages of
each county, describing the lands, giving
their value, varied productions and other
important information, should be pub
.ished and distributed throughout the
United States, and every possible step
taken to welcome desirable immigrants
in our midst.

The Louisiana Legislature has abol-
ished the charter Of the Louisiana State
Lottery Company, and thus shown q
willingness to suppress one of the great
estsBindling concerns that has ever been
Instituted. It was chartered during the
days of Rsdicalism, and will now con-
test the repeating act on the ground that
It interferes with vested rights. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether there is any
Court in Louisiana possessing such
morals as to be willing to champion. the
side Of such a swindle. 1t ought long
sgo to have been shut up under indict-
ment as public nuisance. Its object
has been to gull the credulous, and its
2esult has been to encourage species of
gambling. The sooner all institutions
likeit are clesed, the better it will be for
the country.

bring the colored question before the
people of the country. The colored lead
ers from the South have expressed them
selves in favor of the movement, and it
may be expected to afford them the op-
portunity of ventilating the spleen which
they entertain towards the white people.
To come down to common sense, how
ever, it is apparent that the negro can
not be benefited by any such scheme, for
if they are transferred to Territory it
would of necessity be upon the frontier,
where they would have few of the COM
forts of civilization, and would live in
mortal dread of being scalped by the
surrounding Indians. If they shonld be
scattered through the different States
their political influence would be COM
pletely destroyed forever. The negroes
are in the best place they will ever find
for a home, and if the Radical politicians
will only let them alone there is no cause
to prevent them from becoming an in
dustrious, contented and prosperous peo-
pie. In the States which have been
Democratic for several years the colored
people are now more prosperous than
those residing in States which have suf-
fered from the misgovernment consequent
upon corrupt Radical governments. II
Mr.. Window really wants to confer a
favor on the negro, he can best accom-
plish his end by letting the race alone.
It is better able to take care of itself
than he IS to take care of it, for he knows
nothing about the subject.

The Augusta Chronicle and ConHitu-

To pay, or not to pay, that is the question,
Whether 'tis bette. for me to refuse
To take a local paper, and deprive
My family from reading all the news,
Or pay up promptly what the printer asks,
And, by such payment, cheer him? No
pay-n0 paper
Then no more shall he poste on the news,
And local haps through the town,
And dryers topics-'tis consummalien
That long have feared. To pay, or stop?
To stop! perchance to losc-aye, there's
the rub;
For in thav stop no interest do take
In any of tn affairs which move the town,
And such shutfing off of all that's good
Must make me pause There's the respect
Which every editor maintains for those
Who come down with the cash and nc'cr
delay
To settle up that little BILL For who
would bear
The pointed squibs and pungent paragraphs
Which far too oft reflect upon the man
Who fails to settle his subscription bill?
I'll haste me now unto the editor.
And, with my purse p'elho'ic in my hand,
win settle up in full one year from date,
By paying TO him from my ready cash
The sum of ono dollar and ulalt.r in al
vance
