The practical effect Of this section is: ~
To prohibit alter July lst.uext the deposit

bonds other than three per cent. Bonds
now deposited can remain. (9). To re-
quire that when any OF the existing five
and six per cents now on deposit as So

ing them must replace with three per cent
bonds (it after July lsn, under penalty Of
being put in liquidation and in the
hands OF receiver (S), The repeal OIL
Section 4, Of June 20, 1874, which takes
effect upon the signature Of the bill by the
President, prevents from that date the
withdrawal Of bank note circulation on
deposit OF legal tender notes and
compels the bank wanting to withdraw ita
note circulation itsslfto collect ita notes
and deposit them. This provision, as said,

The moment the bill Is signed, requires
each national bank to make up Its deposit
Of United States bonds TO o minimum oil
onethird OF it's share OF capital, This will
affect only limited number OF banks, and
chiefly those in the large cities, as the
county banks very generally hold United

many OF them having their entire capital

and coming along very fast In point ol

tice the scarcity Of white children and the
multiplicity OF black childIen-not mulat-
toes (aa in old tlmes) but regular ebonies'
There IL good feeling between the races,

Tee sight OF vast amounts OF land IN

Some Of 1t was formerly cultivated, but
now it is abandoned and left to grow up
in sage patches or sCrubbyl pine timber
No wonder the country is spRrsely settled
Mr.. Bell thinks that the average imml'
grant could do better to 90 South now
than to 60 West. He thinks that the OPP
portunitiea are better. There is great
future for that section, and now that pol
tiles are settled Northern people will soou
commence setting their faces in that direc
ton. The South is the coming section o.

We invite the thoughtful atten-
ton of our readers to the admir-
able essay OF Ben Lane Posey, on
the question, "Why are We Poor ?'
1t is a pointed interrogatory, and
somewhat personal to most Of Us, but
we wish to record our hearty agree
ment with him in his solution Of It.
The attentive reader Of THE COMET
will have long since discovered its
paramount anxiety to draw the agri-
cultural community Of the State away
from the all-absorbing all-cotton idea
We welcome in Capt. Posey an able
advocate Of the practical "hog and
hominy" policy which we endesvored
to inaugurate more than ten years ago,
and have been trying to hammer into
the heads Of MississIppians ever since.

us at once conquer our pride, look In thu
mirror of truth, and "see ourselves NJ
others see u.s."
But If our proposition is accepted as de-
monstrated and true, the question comes
up, what can the South dor Can we, OF
cottons We answer, Of course not. A
great evil and bad system cannot be alb
ruptly changed or violently uprooted. We
cannot, at once, pull out of the deep, bad
rut or groove In which we have so long
run. But the effort, and the beginning,
| should be made at once. Efforts ut deliv-
erance should be made energetically and
resolutely, but cautiously and tentatively
The results Of the experiment canpOt be
doubted. They must be successful. We
must diversity pursuits, and industries,
and productions. We must turn our bot
toms into meadows of clover and grasses,
and we must cover our hills with cattle
and sheep. We can grow wool at a cost OF
two cents a pound and sell it at twenty
five cents a pound, while cotton grown ut
cost of nine cents pound barely brings
ten cents u pound. We must manufacture
both cotton and wool, not, as now, In u
small way, but in large way We must
also cultivate sugar and rice all over South
ern Mississippi. North Mississippi, espc-
cially, must make ''hOg and hominy."
hope that have avoided in this essay
the humdrum of the ordinary homily. My
object is to present, in the form of indis-
putable truth, the startling and shameful
facts, that while every State and Territory
that does not cultivate cotton has grown
rich, and is growing richer, yet every State
that has cultivated cotton, has been and is
poor and stationary; that all the boosted
array Of cotton figures, when sifted, show
that the cultivation of cotton, in the best
cotton State, produces less than $43 per
capita to the people of that State, and out
of this miserable pittancc they are to buy
all of their clothing, the larger part OF
them their food, and nearly all of their
household needs and farming tools. just
let them ponder these figures until they re-
alize the folly and poverty of cotton cul-
ture, and they will surely have learned
the first lesson towards their deliverance.
1 have pointed out the great curse Of the
South. OF course, do not mean that this
alone stands in the way Of Southern recu-
peration. 1t is the chiefest OF our evils,
but there are many minor evils which we
must reform before we can move up to the
front in the onward sweep of national pro-
gress.
Our people must awake from their Rip
Van Wrinkle sleep. They must study facts
and figures, cost and profit. When they |
shall do this, then will be born the 'New |
South" the fairest and richest region in |
the world. These truths must be ham |
mered into the people, and they must be
reused up by the trumpet tongue of the re-
surrectionist. And the best medium for
sounding this call is through our own
press, and therefore l invoke the aid of
THE COMET in sounding this first note.

The Banks Want Their Money Again.

At the last Cabinet meeting Mr..
French, who represented the Treasu'
ry department, stated that the Nation
al banks which had been contracting
the currency were DESTROYS of putting
in their bonds again and taking out
the legal tenders which they had sent
on to withdraw the bonds.
This means that, having bullied,
frightened or otherwise influenced
Mr.. Hayes to veto the Funding bill,
these bullying banks are anxious to
resume their former status.
These creatures of legislation, hav-
ing shown themselves superior to
legislative control, are satisfied with
the result Of their demonstration and
want to get their circulation sback
again.
The National banking system has
some millions less friends than 1t had
a month ago. The attempt TO get up
a panic baffied by Mr.. Sherman, has
aroused deep and strong feeling Of
resentment. We must not have any
of the creatures Of our Government
bullying and brow-beating the creative
power. II corporations will not sub
NIT to laws that are necessary to pro-
tect the people against sudden and
dangerous attacks on the finances, we
must enforce submission.
There are many features Of our
banking system that are popular.
The country is disposed to treat the
banks fairly. But they must not be
permitted to bully Congress or induce
the Executive authority to change
front as suddenly as Mr.. Hayes
changed week before last.-Washing-
ton Post.
