In small German town an innkeep-
er, to get rid of q book-peddler's impor-
tunites, bought an almanac from him,
and putting it in his pocket left the inn,
his wife just then coming in to take his
place. The woman was then persuad-
de to buy an almanac, not knowing
that her husband had one already.
The husband shortly returning and dis
covering the trick, sent his porter to
the railway station after the peddler,
with a message that he wished to see
the latter on business. "Oh yes" said
the peddler, 81 know, he wants one of
my almanacs, but really can't miss
my train for that. You can give me a
quarter and take the almanac to him. "
The porter paid the money and car
ried third almanac to the inn-keeper.

Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1882-06-13

Mr.. Blount, of the Sixth Georgia dis
trict, has been endeavoring to uneartl
the bottom facts about the salary OF Mr..
Prescott, the recently returned special
Minister from Peru, Chill and Bolivia.
1t seems that there has been no regular
provision for paying Mr.. Prescott his
salary, yet he has evidently received
ample remuneration from some source.
Discussing this subject recently, Mr..
Blount said:
Il understand that after the return of
Mr.. Trescott from China he was in the
employ of the State Department, and
was paid for his services out Of two
funds, one for the contingent expenses
and the other the neutrality fund of the
State Department. Now. should like
to know whether the gentleman has any
information of that sort, and if so,
whether that does not account for a de-
ficiency in the contingent fund of the
State Department.
No wonder a Radical Congress is so
anxious to dispense with the services of
Southern Congressman. for they are
terrible thorns in the sides of Northern
schemers and jObbers, whose only end in
life is to make raids upon the Treasury.
How happy our Radical friends would
be if there were no Southern watch dogs
of the Treasury like Mr. Blount to pro-
tect the peoples purse. The palmy days
of Grantism can never return while such
troublesome Representatives are allowed
seats in Congress.

The New York EUening Post, discuss
ing the financial and commercial situa
ton, thinks that one of the most notice.
able features Of the present situation is
railroad building in the West The field
Of greatest activity in this respect seems
TO be the State of Iowa. where the sew
eral trunk lines leading vest from Chi
cago are struggling with each other for
the most advantageous connections in
three great general directions in which
emigration and improvement are now
projecting themselves-viz. the West.
the Northwest, and the Southwest. The
State Of Iowa is about the furthest west
crn focus where the railroad traffic of the
Territories and the Pacific coast-from
Oregon TO Mexico-can be concentrated
over the existing trunk lines to the At
lantic sesbOsrd. The result of this I'M
derstanding is that more miles Of new
road are now in progress in that State
than in any other in the Union.

The New York Globe is, we believe,
the only journal published in the great
commercial metropolis of America edited
by colOred man, and its conservative
utterances are in marked contrast to the
incorporate e5ullitions of its Southern
colored contemporaries. In a recent
issue its editor discourses thus sensibly:
eff the colored people can obtain Just
laws, equitable school provision, honest
representation, fair returns for labor,
and protection of life and property by
cOalescing with the local and State De-
mocracy there is nothing in such action
which shocks our idea of the 'immuni-
ties of colored suffrage On the con.
trary, we are disposed to look with ap-
proYal on any course that can be adopted
by the intelligent whites and the intelli-
gent blacks which shall tend to the con-
servation of an honest, intelligent and
equitable administration of the govern
ment.

Western and Southern ReciprOeitY.

Our able Western contemporary, the
st. Louis Republican. which takes an
abiding interest in affairs in this section
of the country, concludes that the peo-
ple of the cotton States are fast reach
ing. if they have not already reached,
the valuable conclusion that cotton is
not king, and that, in fact, nothing is
king in this country, inssmuch as
there is no commodity which
could not be dispensed with entirely
without making life intolerable. There
are. however, commodities of great
value and consequence, and cotton is one
of them. As our contemporary truly
saws. it is now realized more fully than
formerly that cotton as it affects the
comfort of the great body of the people
must be converted into fabrics. That
this great staple should WELD its just
and possible powers it must be woven
into the cloths, yarns, twInes and ropes,
articles of use and even prime
necessity, in every household, even
the humblest. These facts are not new
to the people of the South, for
no people have been more given to pur-
suing economical questions to the basis
of ultimate truth, but till recently they
have not been acted upon. There were
many reasons why they were neglected
in practice. but these reasons are losing
their forge or are giving way entirely.
Henoeforth cotton will leave the States
OF its production, much Of it after fab
rication. with its value multiplied. No
industrial truth has been more clearly
proven than that the most favorable
sites for cotton manufacturing in the
United States, or, for that matter, in the
world, arc in close proximity to the fields
of its growth. Hence the unprecedented
multiplication of spindles and looms in
the cotton States.
The Republican thinks, further, that
this development is suspicious and i'm
portant to the West, as that land OF
stock, corn, hogs ana grain must always
find field of profitable exchange in the
cotton States, whose growth and enrich
ment will be reflected in the intercourse
which will follow il growing volume.
This is doubtless true in the main.
The West and South have, in many re
spects, a community of interest, and
are commercially and politically natural
allies. Yet the South is capable not
only of producing and manufacturing its
great staple, but, being essentially an
agricultural section, is also capable OF
producing its own stock, COIN, hogs and
grain, if not in sufficient quantities to
supply all its wants, at least to the ex
tent of its absolute necessity. While,
therefore, it is to be hoped that the West
and South. may ENJOY all tns dement's tc
be derived from reciprocity of interests,
the South should never lose sight of the
fact that only reproducing her home
supplies. a. vel. as her cotton, can she
ever hope to attain 10 true wealth and
independence.
