EGYPT WANTS 1sDEpEsDsscE

The land of the Pharoahs is in sore trou-
bic. The native Egyptian of former days
has long ago disappeared. leaving behind as
the representatives of the old nationality the
humble copt and the eloquent though
specifies mummies of the tomb. As among
the people now occupying the American con-
tinent, 80 among these who are now LeniZans
OF Egypt, strong feeling of nationality has
sprung up. The people with Cherif Pasha
and Arab Bey their able leaders, claim
Egypt for the Egyptians. The khedive would
like to be free from impotent Turkey-and
an emancipated Egypt would suit him. He
is dominated, however, by two opponents,
both OF whom preach liberty and justice at
home and practice tyranny and extortion
abroad-England and France. England
wants to preserve Egypt under the heel of
the sultan, because she desires to preserve the
isthmus canal, her way to her Indian posses
sions, subject to the sway of the Turk, a
power that she uses as useful TOOL. France
has Algeria and is absorbing Tunis, and there
are adjacent States she will want to absorb in
their turn, and strong and independent ma
tionalitY on the shores of the Nile would not
suit with the policy she is pursuing. Egypt
objects to this way of being made to pull
nuts out of the fire for her two oppressorF.
She hates it the more because, mingled with
the canal question, England is a large holder
Of Egyptian bonds, and an emancipated
Egypt would hardly like to repay money
that had been largely used for their own en-
slavement. To add bitterness to the gall,
the British have undertaken the management
of the Egyptian reveue, and she chooses the
managers from her own subjects. Egyptians
like place, power and profit just as well as
other people do, and they are naturally in
dignant when they see foreigners enjoying
the authority and the salaries. They de-
mand to exercise the right OF governing
their own country their own way. England
and France reply by sending to the mouth
of the Nile men OF war equipped with pow
der, balls and cannon. So things stand. The
Egyptians are thoroughly aroused. Their
enemies are calmly prepared to shoot them
il they persist in resistance. How is it all
to end? That remains to be seen, but it
looks much as if the two christian nations
were going to add to the disgrace of their
mutual attack upon the Chinese forts at
Pablo, and their '1ooting" of the royal resi-
dence at Pekin. Greed and the love of
domination is giving the christian character
a blaek tinge in the East.

Mr. Henry Fort was elected in his place. Mr.
Fort is promising young man who has been
a clerk in the bank for some years, and who
is popular both with the directors and his
fellow-citizens. The Cooking Club of this
city, of which many OF our most charming
daughters are members, met last week at the
residence of Mr.. J. B. Mattison: and the
German Club gave ball last Friday night
at the residence of General A. NJ. West
Both meetings passed off TO the great enjoy
ment of all present. The Literary and Mu-
steal Circle met last Friday night
at the residence of james H. Wat
son, Esq, and In spite of the iDcIemency
of the weather, quite large number OF the
members were present. This society meets
every two weeks at the several residences OF
its members, and its proceedings are always
interesting and sometimes instructive. We
may notice them more fully hereafter. Holly
Springs will probably sell between six hun
dred to six hundred and fifty bales OF cotton
this season from first to last. Not more than
six bales were brought to this city during the
last week. The roads are very bad, and
there is very little cotton left in the country
not more tia. one thousand bales all told.
Good middling sells at eleven cents per
pound ZORAB.

HURRAaFoR THE NEW SOUTH.

The determination of the Southern people
to cease backing up the squabbles of political
hacks and to ignore mere personal disputa-
tions, to cast aside iron-bound preiudices, to
overcome nIschievous habits, to honor labor
and value intelligence, are producing their
effects. Month by month and week by week
the joyous tidings come that more land is di-
viding up into small farms; that plows are
run deeper into the soil; that crops are
varied, seed carefully selected, stock well
housed, and improved agricultural imple-
ments used in the field add the barn. The
boys and girls are going to school; the father
in the evening is looking over his agricultural
magazine and the mother is studying the
cookery book, or the book on chicken raising
and butter and cheese making. In the viii
lagos they are getting up literary societies
and book clubs, In the cities they are
putting up cotton-nnills, oil-mills, wagon and
pillow manufactures, and the young men are
studying books of travel, the laws of trade,
social science, and are absorbing eagerly the
beauties of the best writers in the language
The consequence of this movement and
effort, and inquiry and searching,
and throwing off old notions is that
every week we hear of the starting of some
new project, or the accomplishment of pro-
ject started ONE months ago. For instance,
just glancing over only two or three of the
Southern papers arrived in the last mail, we
read of thirty-fve thousand boxes OF oranges
passing for the North over one Florida rail-
road during the month of December; Char,e-
ston wants one hundred thousand barrels
to put her rice crop in; the
Albanian Great Southern road during the
last year gave the road running north eight
million pounds more freight than it received
from it; the Augusta cotton-seed oil factory
is obliged to build extra storing room on &C.
count of the increase of business, and it did
the same thing only six months ago; the
Georgia Trion cotton factory has paid seven
per cent. each six months for three or four
years, the 500 stock would bring 5000, but
none is to be had; the organization that man.
ages the factory has been in operation only
six years. Immigrants are taking Florida
lands up rapidly this winter; at Montgom-
cry, the Adams cotton factory is en- the point
Of starting, one Philadelphia capitalist has
taken $4,000 of its stock; Augusta, Georgia,
has got into such habit of building cotton
mills that the traveller never calls there |
without seeing the builders at work on one
At least. We take these facts Just as they |
come to hand in the papers, and if we went
IN could soon fill column with such details. |
Vow turn to a Southern paper of 1860 and
Jack, and compare it with what we have just
mentioned, and say whether you don't feel
ike throwing up your cap and shouting:
Hurrah for the New South

GOTwHaT HE DIDN'T WANT
A wouId-be Stakeholder Killed by a
Hotel Clerk.

ST. LOUIS, January pa dispatch from
Dallas, Texas, says that II. A. Little, who
has been guest 81 the St. George Hotel, in
that city, for several days past, went into the
Office about II o'clock last night, when no.
body was present excepting Ford Parker, the
night clerk, and colored waiter. Stepping
up to the counter Little handed Parker a
parcel and asked him to put it in the safe.
Parker turned toward the safe, when Little
sprang at him with drawn revolver and
ordered him to throw up his hands and keep
still He then attempted to rob the safe, but
Parker rushed on him, wrenched the pistol
from his hand, fred and sent ball clear
through Little's body, inAicting a mortal
wound. Parker was arrested, but he will no
doubt be released, as everybody thinks he
did right.

and the Pacific roads alone have virtually
robbed the government of 500, O00O0 1t has
given in subsidies to railway corporations
nearly three hundred million acres Of the
public lands, belonging to the people and re-
served for the use of actual Settlers total
Of nearly three hundred thousand square
miles-a territory more than six times as
large as the State of New York. 1t would
require half dozen columns OF our paper,
to give in detail the successive steps by
which corporations have been built up
By privileges, grants and concessions at the
public expense, until to-day they practically
govern this government. The fact is notori-
Gus that corporations, which are to all intents
and purposes monopolies, have the transporta-
ton interest of the country in their hands, and,
while the great agricultural States OF the
West are at their mercy, the merchants OF
the East are forced TO ask their permission
to trade, and they fix the price OF food for
the people OF our cities. They control legis-
latures by fragrant corruption; pack the
bench with their tools; compel Congress to
do their bidding; seize upon the streets OF
our cities; own the telegraph lines; subsidize
the press and hunt down every man who has
the courage and patriotism to oppose them.
Ten years more of their unrestricted aggres-
sions and their power will be supreme and
impregnable, and the United States will be
governed By syndicate of railway lords, if
not by single railway king. Here is the
practical and vital issue, which the Ameri-
can people must meet at once, or it will be
too late to meet it at all. 1t cannot be post
poned. 1t will not down. And it is quss-
ton of such gigantic dimensions and vital
importance that it throws all others into
the shade. The Democracy OF the coun-
try ought, by every consideration of his
tory, principle, tradition, precedent and
policy, to put themselves at once
on anti-monopoly ground. 1t is the only
ground they can take without suicidal
Standardization. 1t is not war on capital,
as such, nor opposition to the proper and le-
gitimate rights and operations of corporate
bodies, that is proposed. The line between
public interest and corporate aggrandize-
ment, between legitimate business and corpo-
rate robbery, between a service for privileges
granted and a asurpatioD, is too plain to
need pointing out 1t needs no miscroscope
10 see range of mountains high enough to
is the one vital issue in our State and ma
tional politics, before which all others must
yield until it is settled.

MR.. MOORE.
ApoNIs IN POLITICS.

Seriously speaking, the maiden effort of
Moore, which has subjected him to SO much
ridicule, and which it will take years of
hard work to overcome, shows how effectu-
ally a new member of Congress can injure
his career. There is not a man in the re-
porter's gallery who would not sit up all
night to burlesque any speech Moore might
make, no matter how sensible and logical it
might be. Every now and then some one
will say:

Opinion prevails that bill appropriating
couple OF millions will be passed this year
and the work be started, and then it will be
compulsory for future sessions to make ap-
propriations for its continuance. The North

provement, as they know such a turn of al

railroads to the fiatboats and do incalculable

OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW
YORK.

THE Democracy OF Ohio, Pennsylvania
and New York seem to have been on their
good behavior this year. In each OF these
great States the outlook is very bright; in
deed everything indicating clean sweep
from the Ohio to Lake Champlain. This is
not merely the enthusiastic opinion of Demo-
cratic leaders. but is known 10 be the delib
crate judgment of many Republican observ-
ers who are exceptionally well informed.
Folger's nomination in New York by means
of forgery has engendered bitterness be-
tween the Stalwarts and the anti-Stalwsrts
Of that State that nothing short of his retir-
ing from the campaign can heal, and that is
now impossible. In Pennsylvania the man
ayers of the Republican campaign frankly
admit that their utter and complete rout is
as certain as anything in politics can be, un-
less they can disintegrate and demoralize
the Democratic vote. This cannot be done.
The party was never go closely massed
and united, or so we'll managed. 1t
is under the leadership OF Pattison, who as
public officer has made as unassailable a
record as Cleveland has in New York.
Badger, in Pennsylvania, represents the cor
rupt ring of which Cameron is the head,
Just as Folger represents the corrupt ring in
New York, which does not hesitate at for
gerry and other crimes to accomplish its pur-
pose. In Ohio the contest is over the Con-
gressional districts and the Legislature.
For many years the Republican party in
that State has been playing fast and loose on
the temperance question, the purpose of its
managers being to utilize both the extreme
anti-iquor and liberal (German) elements.
Finally point was reached where this sort
of thing had to stop, and Republican Leg
islature and Republican governor submitted
to the people legislation on this subject so
extreme that it was speedily declared un-
constitutional. The party had been COM
united, however, and il made the issue in
the present campaign such that it was at
once deserted by tens of thousands OF voters
who had stood by it with unfaltering fidelity,
and who now declare their intention to &C
oept the Democratic party's pledge to deal
fairly and honestly with this question as
with all others. Gov. Foster has vainly tried
to stem the tide and Senator Sherman has
apparently abandoned the contest and gone

THE ROSARY OF my YEARS.
BY FATHER Ryan.

Some reckon their age by years,
Some measure their life by art,
But some tell their days by the flow of their tears
And their life by the means of their heart.
The dials of earth may show
The length. not the depth OF years.
Few o many they come few many they go;
But our time is best measured by tears
All! not by the silver gray
That creeps through the sunny hair,
And not o. the scenes that We pass our way
And not by the burrows the finger of care
On the forehead and face have made;
Not SO do we count our years;
Not by the sun of the earth-but by the shade
OF our soulE-and the fall of our team,
For the young are oftentimes old
Though their brow be bright and fair:
While their heart beats warm their hearts lie
cold
Der them the spring time-but the winter fl
And the old are oftentmes young,
When their hair Ii thin and white;
And they sing in age as in youth they sung,
And they laugh, for their cross WAS hgEt.
But bead by bead tell
The rosary OF my years;
From a cross to a crown they lead-'tis we'll,
And they're blessed with blessing of tears
Better day of strife
Than a century of sleep;
Give me instead of a long stream of life
The tempest and tears of the deep.
A thousand Joys may foam
On the pillows of all the years;
But never the foam brings the brave bark home
i 1t reaches the haven through tears!

THE PANAMA CANAL.

THE.money necessary 10 carry on the WORK
of building the Panama canal has beer
guaranteed by new lean made in Parii
and taken readily in the faith the French
have in DeLesseps, who is now, of course,
unpopular with the English. Besides. as.the
London Spectator states, they have lurking
dread of complications with the American
government, which no doubt watches the
progress with deeply-rooted jealousy. The
English, therefore, are far from eager for
the project. They do not, it is true, either
oppose or condemn it; but they are not
pleased by NJ. DeLessep's success in raising
money; they expressed no regret at the earth
gu axe which, on the 9TH instant, destroyed
