bring the colored question before the
people of the country. The colored II a.
ers from the South have expressed them
selves in favor Of the movement, aud it
may be expected 10 afford them the OPP
pcr:an;.y of vouti'ating the spleen which
they entertain towards the white people.
To come down to common scnse, 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 should be
scattered through IT,, different States
their political influence would be COM
pletcly destroyed forever. The negroes
are in the best place they will ever find
for home, and if the Radical politicians
will only let them alone there is no cause
to prevent them from becoming an in
dustrious, coDtented and prosperous ,eo-
pie. In the States which have boon
Democratic for several years tho colored
people are now more prosperous than
those residing in States which have suf-
fered from the misgovcrnment consequent
upon corrupt Radical governments. II
Dir. Window really wants to confer q
favor on the negro, he Can best accom-
plish his end by lo..ing the RAGS alone
1t is better able to take care Of itself
than ho il to take care Of it, for he knows
nothing about the subject.

Since the rendition of the decision of
the United Gtates Supreme Court which
sustains the act of Congress fof the cup
preston of polygamy in the territories
of the United States, the Mormons begin
to realize that their practice of having
moro than one wife is doomed to end
very speedily, and the more reasonable of
their number do not seek any legislation
looking 20 q perpetlation of The prac-
tice, bnt simply ask TINT those who have
already married more than one wife shall
be exempted from the penalties oe .he

to remain as itwas before the rendition

Emigration Is beginning to tnrn to-
wards the South as q desirable place for
settling. Our genial climate, ample and
fertile lands, and our undeveloped re-
sources are attracting their attention.
Societies to encourage Immigration
ought to be formed in every county in
the State to induce locations of capital
md steady labor In our midst. Pam
:phlets setting forth tho advantages Of
each county, describing the lands, giving
their value, varied productions and other
important information, should be pub.
liahed and distributed throughout the
United States, and every possible ster
taken to welcome desirable immigrants
in our midst.

Noses have been counted In the Lower
House of the Michigan Legislature and
majority of the members arc reported
to favor woman's suffrage, and an effort
is likely to be made to strike the word
male" ont Of the laws relating to suf-
frage. As the men of Michigan have no
better sense than to allow the State to be
run by such Radicals Ms Zach Chandler,
the country could not suffer much by any
experiment they may ch.> % to make in
regard to suffrage. Perhaps the fair
sex would have the discretion and pa
triotism to give tho State respectable
government to provo themselves worthy
of the ballot. If they want to try it the
balance of the country can sit off and
look on with the complacent assurance
that the politics of Michigan cannot be
changed for the worst by the eAprIim imeii:t.

cts. Much of the mining is done nec-

victs. Much of the mining is done nec-
esaarily with machinery, as the bulk of
the deposit of the State lie in waters OF
an average depth Of Gfteen feet at mean
low water, except in Coosaw River. In
localities where hand labor is employed
these laborers must be skilled in the use
of the implements, and for this reason
no convict labor has 80 far been employed
in mining in the waters of the State. In
the manipulation Of rock, machinery is
employed almost entirely, and Jur phoS-
phate rock constitutes only one of the
component parts of the commercial fer
tilizers, and as the quantity so used in
this country is proportionally much
smaller than in Europe, to prohibit the
expectation of rock would be to destroy
tho mining interest. Although this ex-
portation may be checked with advant-
age 10 the State by allowing q rebate of
royalty on ell rock manufactured within
the borders Of the State; although the
phosphate territory is probably more re-
stricted N limits than was at first sup
posed, there is no doubt Of the fact that
the quantity of deposits within these
limits is immense and incapable of ex-
haustion for very long time to come.
In our opinion the proper and only
remedy under existing circumstances is
to re-apportion .he entire phosphate area,
diminishing tne extent of the tracts as
provided in phosphate acts of March,
1878. Give exclusive rights to small
area for one or two years at furthest
with provision that they shall be for
feited unless the work be begun during
tho first year. The operations will thus
be confined to a comparatively small
area, and the amount of capital invested
which will always regulate itself to the
advantages of the localities, Immensely
greater, tho collection of the royalty
more certain and convenient, and the
bulk of the phosphate territory remain
under the control of the State.
This protection will of course meet
with opposition from the holders of these
exclusive grants, and especially from thai
class of holders who have no charter from
the State, as in the case of the Coosav
Mining Company and the Carolina Min
ing Company, which are joint stock com
panies. But We have never been able t.
understand why obligations induced by
Misrepresentation, if not by direct fraud
should be held more sacred and binding
than obligations knowingly entered int
by the State after considerable discussion
and much light having been thrown upor
the subject.
We do not mean to say that there viii
be no difficulties to be met with in ad
justing the areas, 6r' that they will b,
readily overcome by agents who are ut
terly ignorant of business of great in
tricacy, but we do assert that if th'
administration of this property of the
State is modelled after that of the indi
vidual owner, and the samo care, dill
gence and common sense Management
exercised &c IL private concerns, :ha
theso phho5phha.e beds viii yield u iarg,
income to tho State and afford remunera
tive employment to large number O
its now idle and suffering citizens.

Tho Louisiana Legislature has called
a Constitutional Convention to meet on
the 2lst Of April to remodel the State
Constitution. It will be authorized to
sit for sixty days at a cost not to exceed
forty thousand dollars. Thus another
State will wipe cut the unjust and inex-
pedient legislation imposed by the cor
ruption and imbecility Of Radicalism.
1t will not be long until South Carolina's

Advices from Europe report that the
Rothscbilds and other wealthy Hebrews
of England have completed arrange
ments for tho purchase of Palestine, and
thus this ancient people, who have re-
mained distinct and separate people in
all lands and at all ages, will rcpossess
the inheritance of their ancestors, and
the barriers heretofore obstructing their
re-entrance TO the Holy Land will thus
be removed. OF course, it il not likely
that there will be any very grea. cmigra-
tion 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 timo 10 be accomplished.

Senator Christiancy is said to have de-
clined the German mission on the ground
that the expenses of the mission would
be beyond his means, and the climate
would not suit him. The Peruvian mis-
sion has 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 o
salary of $17, $500. The climate of Lima
Is moro agreeable, and tie customn of
the people more simple than that of Ber-
lin, and therefore the Michigan Senator
prefers the second rate instead of the
first-class mission.

The case Of General G.. w. @. Lee, Of
Virginia, against the United States gov
ernment for the recovery of the Arling-
ton estate near Washington, which was
sold during the war for taxes due the
United States, and has since been used
as q burying ground for Federal soldiers,
has terminated in favor of General Lee.
The taxes were rendered by an agent Of
General Lee, but the government refused
10 receive the money unless it was pre-
sented by General Leo himself and, as
he was fighting on the Confederate side,
it was not altogether convenient nor pru-
dent for him to make personal tender
of the money. The Circuit Court, how
ever, very properly held that the govern
ment could not require the taxes to be
paid by any particular person, inasmuch
az it could only have an interest to the
value of The taxes, and t'ieTefoTe the a5ie
was void. This property is situated upon
the Potomac, is a beautiful location, ard
is very valuable estate. 1t was willed
General Leo by his grand father, the late
G. W. P. Custis, Of Virginia. It thas
been in the family for many years, and is
priced on this account as we'll as on ac-
count of its exchangeable value. An
appeal to the Supreme Court of the
United States has been taken, but it is
not likely that the decision of the Circuit
Court will be reversed, and therefore
General Lee is pretty certain to regain
his patrimony, which prejudice on the
part Of government officials has induced
them to seek in an unwarranted manner
to take away from him.

The ST. Paul Pioneer Press, Mime
sofa Radical paper, says: South Caro-
lima Democrats place themselves in an
awkward position in their anxiety to
show that the negroes permitted none of
their number to vote tho Democratic
ticket. Where did IIampton's majority
come from, thcn7 1t must have been the
tissue ballots. Fraud and bulldoziug are
the two horns Of the Democratic dilemma
in South Carolina" The Pioneer Press
has only read one side of the South Car
olina testimony. The negroes would not
permit 'ieir race to vote the Democratic
ticket where they could help it, but there
were great many who could not be pre-
vented from voting the ticket which all
sensible and honest men voted in this
State, and thousands Of colorcd men who
were not certain MS to tho proper ticket
TO vote Of their own will stayed away
from the polls and did not votc. It's
ignorance Of South Carolnn politics is
displayed when it wonders where Hamp-
toms majority came from. lie could not
help receiving majority, for no one ran
against him. Fifty votes in the State
would have elected him. In future We
advise the Pioneer Press to either inform
itself about South Carolina matters OF
shut up. It's show of malice and gross
ignaronce is both objectionable and un-
parallelled.
