A Census Of The cotton Labor.

In conversation with a Star reporter,
Re preseD tatiys Manning, of Mississippi,
said that one of the most important things
for the South is TO have the next census
show what proportion of the cotton crop is
produced by white labor. Said Mr.. Man
ming: "Our Northern friends look upon
MS in the South as a lazy, indolent people.
They think that the negro performs all the
labor in the cotton-felds; that Cuffy alone,
with his woolIy head and fat feet, can stand
the exposure to the sun. Why, the white
hands of our white men and women, and
children too, of the South, have produced
three-fifths of this years cotton crop. which
will reach a total of nearly 5000, 600 bales.
White labor raises from % to 40 per cent.
more cotton to the acre than colored labor.
That is a fact we'll known in our country.
Now, if we can only get these statistical
facts before the world in an official form, in
a non-partisan document, like the census, 1t
would be worth millions of dollars TO the
South. We have the most fertile soil on
the globe, and when the whites can be con-
WINGED that they can cultivate it more
proftably than any other kind of labor,
they will 90 there. The great reed of the
South is to induce white immigration, and
the greatest step towards that will be ac-
complished when we show the error of the
impression that the climate is only adapted
to negro labor. Washington Star.

The dress ball Of the German Club
which has been the principal centre Of
interest with our young people for weeks
past, came off on Monday night last, and, it
IL safe to say, even surpassed the high ex-
pectations it had raised. At 9 o'clock the
parlors of Judge Georges handsome resi-
dence were filled with a throng of beauty
and gallantry such as is seldom seen CON
gregated in one place-the Germans and
their invited guests. Half an hour later
the dancing commenced, and for two hours
the beautiful figures of the German were
executed with faultless grace and precision
by the accomplished dancers. At the con-
clusion of the German, quadrilles, waltzes,
promenades, ETC., rapidly succeeded each
other until late hour, when the merry
makers dispersed, the universal sentiment,
being that the evening had been one of I'M
alleged pleasure and enjoyment.
The Catholic Fair, which was in pro-
gress last Thursday, Friday and Saturday
proved an immense success financially and
in all other respects. Angeles Hall, where
it was held, was decorated with great taste
and elegance and the different tables, pre-
sided over by charming young ladies, were
in keeping with the surroundings. One of
the most interesting features Of the Fair was
the Tree of Fate, arranl ed by Mrs. Moraney,
where young ladies and gentlemen could
have their fortunes truthfully and exactly
+ told. Saturday was the childrens' day
Santa Claus being on hand with a Christ
mas Tree loaded down with handsome gifts
1 for the little ones. Some of the articles
rallied were very handsome, and the fortu-
nate ones who won them are to be envied.

THE Sun win deal with the events Of the
wear 1880 in it's own fashion, now pretty well
understood by everybody. From January
until December 81 it will be conducted as a
newspaper, written in the English language,
and printed for the people.
As newspaper, THE Sun believes in getting
all the news of the world promptly and pre-
senting it in the most Ineligible shape-the
shape that will enable its readers to keep well
abreast of the age with the least unprOductive
ex expenditure of time. The greatest interest to
the greatest number-thAt is, the law control
ling its daily makeup. 1t now has a circula-
tion very much larger than that of any other
American newspaper and enjoys an income
which it is at all times prepared TO spend
literally for the benefit Of its readers. Peo-
pie of all conditions Of life and all WAYS Of
thinking buy and read THE SUN and they all
derive satisfaction of some sort from its ooll
umns for they keep on buying and reading
it.
In its comments on men and affairs, THE
Sun believes that the only guide of policy
should be common sense, inspired by genuine
American principles and backed by honesty
of purpose. For this reason it is, and will
continue to be, absolutely independent of
party, class, clique, organization, or interest.
1t Is for all, but of none 1t will continue to
praise what is good and reprobate what is
evil, taking care that its language is to the
point and plain, beyond the possibility of
being misunderstood. 1t is uninhuenced by
motives that do not appear on the surface it
has no o1inloRS to sell, save those which may
be had by any purchaser with two cents. 1t
hates injustice and rascality even more than
1t hates unnecessary words. 1t abhors frauds,
pities fools, and deplores ninCompoops of
every species. 1t will coatinue throughout
the year 1880 to ph@stlse the frst-class instruct
the SECOND, and discountenance the third. All
honest men, with honest convictions, whether
sound or mistaken, are its friends, And The
Sun makes no bones Of telling the truth 70 its
friends and about its friends whenever ocea.
sion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which THE

The year 1880 will be one in which no patri-
Otic American can afford to close his eyes TO
public affairs, it is impossible to exaggerate

My success is owning to my Iiberality in

How can the world know a man has a
good thing unless he advertises the posses

Advertising is the oil which tradesmen
put in their lamps. They that are unwise,
put no oil in.
People are quite apt to go where their
attention is called. If they find things
as represented, they will purchase in prefer
ence to spending their time elsewhere.
