future of this country We also urged upon
capitalists and philanthropists, as ready ana
practicable way of helping unemployed men
and of safely investing their capital, the
purchase # large tracts of virgin forest IN the
Southern border States, and colonizing them Dy
draining of into them the surplusage OF the
large cities Many colonies have been piante u
in these waste lands of the older States since
that time; and all are now in successful
operation. The one which Mr.. Hughes comes
to superintcnd is composed of capitalists III
New England who combined for the PIT. pose
of planting such colony, and fixed upon a
tract in East Tennessee as most suitable ior
their purpose. Fifty thousand acres OF goou
farming and mineral land in that elevated
region have been bought, laid ont in towns
lots. small fruit and larger cereal farms
Certain English rcformers, of whom Mt.
Hughes is one of the most active, are ebeageu
in this scheme for removing the hat-starveo
mechanics and labOreTs of both Old and Ne"
England to this land and giving them ne"
and wider chance for life, comfort, and nap
piness.
The plan ought to work well. The ground
chosen lies in the most healthful region OF
the Middle States, where the soil is rich, iuei
cheap, water pure, and the very air succulent
for man or beast the design is, we under
stand. to sell in small tracts at long credit
| Mr.. Hughes proposes to go about on DIS
arrival lecturing on cooperation, from when
| we infer that the colonies are to be indoc-
| trinated with the latest refOrmatory leaven.
| Cooperation is a good thing, and wise rules
and drilling for cooperative colonies are good
| things when they are adopted voluntarily Oy
| the members of community. But our friends
| the capitalists, even with Mr.. Thomas Hughes
at their head. must be careful not to direct
their colonists too much, nor to force WISDOM
morality and temperance on them with one
| hand while they sell them cheap land with
the other. No man likes to pick ont his own
WAY so much rs the American workman; no
man Is capable of more plg-headed
| resistance to direction than the British work
man. The best that can be done for them Is
TO put them on the right way, and let them
work out their own salvation slowly. Another
difficulty to be avoided is the interpOsltion OF
too many middle-men between the capitalists
and the colonists. Agents and clerks IN these
cases are apt to gobbie up the biggest share
| of the profits from both sides, and leave botl
sides out of temper and out Of cash. Any man
who has had anything to do with these SEMI
charitable organizations, either as donor OF
recipient, can testify as to this difficulty. Let
our English aud Boston friends look out for It,
! and beware in time.

of them can pay dividends, while working on
the present monopoly system, If seriously en-
tertained anywhere except for speculative
purposes, will be dispeled by candid exam
iraton of the business, or by the final returns

the ablest managers frankly admit that the
situation Is a false and hurtful one, but the
fear of series losses, If the traffic Is once

Now General Hancock sends around copies
of this letter to the Democratic papers OF the

Mr.. William II. English must be recognized
by this time as a great disappointment to his
narty He was nominated simply because he
was the one Indiana candidate who had
bo0shead of money. At the same time the
Democracy Rugged the delusiOn that he was
,tatesnan as well, a man whose character and
record would appeal to the people of the East.
No sooner had they fairly nominated him than
they discovered that his barln was firmly
headed IN. The Democratic press sadly re-
corded the fact that Mr.. English had an iron
door on his house, and had been seen on cold
winter nights, presumably with his bare
legs trembling in the blast, guarding his
boarded wealth with revolver This was
not the sort of man to pour out his money
like water to carry Indiana, and the men who
should ask him to do 1t were evidently In
danger Of being welcomed with bloody hands
10 hospitable graves Meanwhile Mr.. English
went about, in the manner of an itInerant
pedler, adiuripg every one to "help us in
the advance skirmish in Indiana" every one
whom he addressed knowing that he was nom
mated simply to buy up Indiana, if possible.
Thus one sweet illusion faded. But he was
still suspected of being statesman. until his
letter of acceptance dashed that hope to the
ground. The Washington dispatches give a
no;nted intimation that the letter would have
been even more vulgar and foolish than 1t
was, if Mr.. English had not been held back
by main force. He looms up. then, as the
worst failure in recent Democratic annals.
He is detested in his own State, and Is not
capable of making a good reputation outside
of it. He cannot write a respectable political
document. He will not even buy mules
