Ho. For Liberia.

The American Colonization Society be-
gan its sixty-eighth annual meeting at
Washington Sunday, and the report of
its proceedings will, 10 doubt, tend to
revive interest in the scheme to return
the negroes to Africa, and in the cOndi-
ton Of the Republic of Liberia. The
number Of emigrants sent to Liberia from
the United States by the society since its
organization is 5,736, Of which number
3, 13s have been sent since the close Of the
war.
The condition of the colony is reported
to be better than it has been since it was
established. Its trade is increasing and
It's revenue greater than ever before. The
society reports the number of applicants
for passage to Liberia az unprecedented,
Occupations and letters coming from
almost every State in the Union.
The Secretary, in his report, dwells on
the riches and resources Of the country,
and expresses fears that the cupidity of
European nations has already been ex-
cited by its great mineral wealth. 1t IS
not probable, however, that the autonomy
OfLiberia will be interfered with, although
encroachments have already been made
on territory claimed by it, for many years.
It doubtless stands on as firm basis as
anv OF the minor States Of the old or new
world, and should its nationality be
DESTROYED it will be the fault of the
LiberIans themselves.
Those negroes who have determined, or
NAV hereafter determine, to emigrate
should eudeavor to get fully posted about
Liberia before going West or elsewhere.
1t is probably true that in the near future
extraordinary inducements viii be offered
TO them to return to the continent Of their
ancestors.
The society does not seem to be very
active, as its total receipts during the year
were only $l0,673, while its expendi-
lures were sl2,12l; but the demands
being made on it viii most prOba-
bly, cause it TO renew its zeal
to assist in building up the republic it
founded on the other SIDE Of the Atlantic.
It might be greatly TO Its advantage to
establish subordinate societies among the
negroes Of the South, many Of whom
would sympsthize with its objects and
aid in sustaining it. To do much in the
way Of African colonization the society
needs hundreds Of thousands Of dollars,
and If it makes proper efforts there is
scarcely a doubt that it can get the
money.

A novel plan Of restricting the number
ST saloons without reducing the revenue
received from licenses is suggested by
the New York Tunes. 1t is proposed that
the city be divided into districts and only
ore saloon be licensed in each district,
the privilege being put up for sale to the
highest bidder who can produce evidence
Of good character and make the neces-
sary bond such a scheme would hardly
work well in large cities. If it were
adopted there would doubtless soon be
hundreds Of unlicensed liquor shops in
operation, and many ways would be
found to evade the law.

The impression is getting abroad that
the eulogy business in Congress is being
overdone. Last week was funeral week,
and it has set people to wondering
whether something cannot be done to
mitigate the nations anguish when a
statesman dies. There seems 10 be too
much grief Monday there were thirteen
obituaries delivered in the Senate over
Senator Anthony; Tuesday about a.
many in the House over Congressman
Evins; Wednesday the House took turn
at Senator Anthony, and Thursday the
House grew eloquent in the case or Con-
gresham Duncan. -Four days out Of the
week were consumed. Besides the time
the expense in money is something i'm
mense. 1t cost SD, 900 a day to eulOglzs
Congresamen, and if they have previously
been taken home for burial and the cost of
the Journey is included, the total becomes
appalling. A member Of Congress speak
ing Of this matter a day or two ago said:
.'Its all right to commemorate the
virtues Of the dead, but why have forty
eulogies over three individuals? Why
not appoint a panegyrist, give him carte
blanche. and turn him loose: Everybody
can't make an obituary speech; the thing
is getting to be nuisance. All the
crushed orators who can't catch the
Speakers eye, and who are yearning to
paralyze their constituents with burst
of eloquence, seize this opportunity to
unload. Nobody listens; the galleries are
deserted; the correspondents fee in terror,
and il any members retain their seats, il
Is only TO yawn or write letters. grace

would command respect, bat this whole
sale eulOgy is absurd"

some OF the Republican papers are very
much exercised because the Legislature
of North Carolina Is about to pass bill
to appropriate $4,000 to ex-COnfederate
soldiers who lost limbs in the war. The
usual howl about ''pensiOning rebel sol
diers" is being raised. There Is not much
alanger Of the appeal Of humanity being
drowned by these bowls. Il is hardly
possible that they will excite anything
but contempt among the better classes
even at the North.

The Direction of Immigration.

The immigration which is expected to
develop the South, especially the portions
known as the 'sblack belt" must come
from the Middle an4 Western States.
The current must be from the mountains
towards the seabOard. Years ago the
people in search Of cheap and fertile
lands left the then crowded coast
counties and settled the hill country
and beyond. They poured over the Blue
Ridge from Georgia and South Carolina.
The conditions are reversed. The cheap
lands are the old homes Of the early set
tiers. and the seekers after new homes
will now turn their faces this way. Mil
lions Of acres Of land, which when prop
erly cultivated is as good as the best, are
to be had at nominal prices.
A great deal Of this land is cleared, it
once having been occupied, and much Of
it is covered with timber that is rapidly
growing il value. Cleared and timbered
land can be obtained together in quauti-
ties to suit almost any purchaser. The
cleared land is. Of course. ready for the
pillow at any time. This is great advant-
age 10 the immigrant who. as a rule, is so
situated as to need a speedy return fer
his labor.
Experiments prove that even the sandy
lands under an intelligent system Of farm
ing under which the soil is stimulated
with home made fertilizers, such as are
used in the North and West, will yield
abundantly. The time cannot be distant
when this part Of the South. with its great
and varied advantages, VIII find favor in
1 the ewes Of those who are seeking cheap
I lands FOR permanent homes.
Our section viii then enjoy prosperity
7 such as it has never yet known. The
+ changes that viii take place will be both
astonishing and gratifying. Even those
7 who are now Indifferent about immigra-
I ton will be forced to acknowledge that
/ they did not understand what was best
! for their own interest.
These remarks are suggested by the in
/ quiries that are constantly being received
at the office Of the MORNING News with
respect to land in this part Of the South.
The spirit OF inquiry is abroad, and in
quirv is certain TO elicit information
that will bring among Us those WHO will
turn our abandoned plantations into pro-
/ ductiye farms and gardens and vastly
I increase our wealth. There are thousands
who live where there are ice and snow
i've or six months eve~y year who want
to get homes where they will have sun
shine and soft Southern breezes the yeaI
round.
