STEALING COTTON.
JGdEe HorrIgaH Takes a BUIl by the
Horns.

There exists in Tennessee Law against
the sale Of loose cotton between sunset and
suarise, the object being TO protect planters
from the theft OF their cotton at night. The
Aanss at work upon a plantation, II dis
posed to steal, can get aWsy With a good
deal Of cotton when the shades of even
70 nave fallen, ard this is Just
VIVA: they have been doing in
the neighborhood OF White Station. Infer
nation was brought 10 Judge Horrigan a
short time ago that number Of parties were
dealing in loose cotton after sunset in the
vicinity OF White Station, and dozen or
named to his honor as knowing some
thing about what was going 90. These
witnesses were summoned before the grand
jury yesterday ~ order Of the judge.
About half a deem negroes sxore Kat
they knew nothing whatever about these
transactions; that tn knew nobody thst
had bought or cold cotton after sunset; nor
had they ever heard OF any cotton being 50
disposed OF. Judge HorTigan ordered these
colored men to be brought into court, and
they swore positively as they had done be-
lore. The judge then ordered he white
witnesses 10 be examined. The first was
young man named s. amps who Is a clerk
with g. \. Trust, at White Station. In an
swer TO questions from the court, he stated
liu5t had been buying cotton OF various
parties at night.
Judge Horrigsn asked him to look at the
SIX negroes who had Just testified and see if
any OF them we're among the guilty parties.
One colored citizen ducked his head at this,
aud Stamps Immediately picked him out,
and said he recognized him as one of the
men who had sold cotton to Trust. Judge
Horrig.n ordered shat thirty Indictments be
brought against Trust and ak bench war
rants issued against the negro, and that he
be also indicted for perjury.
GAS for the rest of you colored men," said
the judge to the trembling darkies, Il APP
point you committee to watch this cotton
business out there. want you to take care
of it."
I'VE Will, boss" said the chorus.
"And you," said the judge 10 an old darby,
al make you foreman; and whenever you
see or hear of any stealing I want you 10
come right to me, AID tell me about it; and
don't you wait"
81 won't wait" said the foreman

The Coming Men
Race the Southern states are now Rear

The typical Southern man is no
longer a free handed fox hunter whose
Inherited fortune is lavished lis long
Is it lists upon his friends, his horses
and his hounds; he is no longer the
gay society man studying etiquette as
the finest Of the fine arts, and cultiva-
ting his capacity for conversation as
the most valuable OF all intellectual
gifts; he is no longer believer in "a
classical education us the first reQuis-
lie Of gentleman and an indispensa
Die groundwork for celebrity in life.-
The typical Southern man Of other
days has learned new lessons in new
>chooI, aud he IS protiting by them =
tie is taking more practical views of
life. He is graphing more with the
robust realities of life. He is apply
ing his muscle more to accomplishing
the substantial things Of life. He is
| developing himself more as a man Of
actual, useful affairs. He is training
his spirit and his energies more in the
direction of realistic results and less in
the mere accomplishments, ornament
atoms and elegancies of life. 1t is al
ways wise as we'll as brave to look facts
in the face. lntrospection of ourselves
is not always agreeable, but it is essen
tlal to self understanding, and is Won
derfully contributive not only to IA
generous construction of the conduct
of others, but to an unprecedented esti-
mate of all changes that may be offer
ed to us for our advantage. And how
ever the people Of the South may look
back with tender emotions upon their
usages and associations OF other days,
as candid and intelligent men they
must admit that, industrially regarded,
there are in the new order of things
many Improvements upon the old
During the existence of the institution
Of slavery we had noble race Of
splendid gentlemen in the South ; but
ut the same time there were splendid
gentlemen in the North too ; and both
here and there the race may be main
tanned to the end, not only without
deterioration, but with an increased
and ever increasing development Of all
the great manly capacities and virtues,
under the agencies of honest labor OF
every description and the influences
of that bold and chivalrous spirit OF
enterprise characteristic of the Anglo
Saxon With free institutions around
him.
The Southern man has the moral
the mental and the physical forces
adequate to the attainment of anything
and everything within the compass OF
mans capacity to reach, and now that
he is no longer enslaved by his own
institution of negro slavery he is 8
sturdier worker in the rugged fields Of
industry his enterprise is expanding
his inventive genius is awakening
Ere two more decades shall have gone
by, the wealth OF the South will be the
wonder of the world and we think we
may safely say that the coming men o
the South, the men who are to guide
us in council and direct us in energy
are the men who shall have most turn
ed their thoughts to practical affairs
. involving the industrial interests o
their section.
