Who owns this nation ? We are stiH
fticlrnec?to think the fee simple is in
the people, and that they have
vested* right in their President, Con
gress, Governors and Lcgislatu
but every now and then something
turns up to render this theory doubt
ful.
We find, for instance, that Undo
Samuel must not run telegraph wiicj
over his estate, because the Westci n
Union will not hear of such a thing.
He must also give up carrying small
parcels for his nephews and nieces in j
the mail bags, because Adams Ex

thing so sensible and beneficial.
One Dromio lamented that lie no
longer belonged to himself, after mar
rying a fat cook, and it is to bc feared
that this great Republic, after foster
ing these great companies, no longer
belongs to itself.
These corporations can pay largely
for special legislation, and by their
monied Inffticnoe they are corrupting
legislation, and depriving thc people
of their dearest rights.
As soon as the people elect their
own represcntntives-?-sclceting men
who cannot be bought-they will have
very desirable reforms and improve
ments, but the longer the struggle
with wealthy corporations is deferred
tho more doubtful will the result be
come.

Co'.ton Factories in the South.
Wo arc glad to notice that much
attention is being paul to tba subject
bf manufacturing thc colton grown so
abundantly in thc South in the very
sections where it is produced. With
thc present price ot labor, and other
facilities now enjoyed, manufacturing
herc may readily bc made a grand
success. That it can bc done to ad
vantage, has already been clearly
demonstrated. Wo need only thc
business energy and capital lo operate
on ibis linc in this immediate vicinity
to make Orangeburg one ol' thc most
prosperous-counties in the Slate. Wi
have long been growing thc cotton,
but neglecting to usc rare facilities tc
manufacture it within our own reach
Wc cannot alford to pay others lo dc.
this business for us in connectioti
willi such heavy hills for transporta
tion. An exchange says :
tk Great changes are likely ere long
lo take place in the sites of cotton
manufacture. Facto:ins in our col
ton-growing Slates are paying excel
lent dividends, and as soon as theil
poor distracted people can insure
freedom, peace and safety, ma nu fae
turing capital and enterprise wi!
doubtless How into them with :
strong lido. The same change i:
also taking place, bul on a thucl
greater scale, in British India, where
the profits on coll?n factories ari
very high.
" The fast result of manufacturing
cotton in the countries where it grow:
will bc to cut oil' thc demand of thosi
countries from thc present manufuc
tiners, and thc next will be to com
pete with them in thc markets of th?
world."

The Soull
What a vague terni t s is ! In thi
months of slaveholders it meant thi
few hundred thousand white men win
owned slaves. Thc rme'resls of Un
. South meant their interests, and no
. those of cither the negroes or th
I poor white trash. We ap' 1 ?t
. latter are now, to some extent , iiu.it,
ed in thc term South, though i! st ii
stands for just about the same i lass ..
before thc war. This "South," i\ iib it
class-legislation and repression of cd ii
cation, has been asad drawback to t!i
real South. If thc vost numbi\alt
estates which it possessed bael al th
close of thc war been given av ty n
homesteads in small lot- I ? (IK 1 inio
soldiers and thc freedmen, upon (?bi
di lon of actual settlement, what n di
feront region thc South would li av
been hy this time ! Each plan lat io
of ten thousand acres would hnv
beat settled by some two hundre
thrifty families, who would have a
forded society and protection to cai
oilier, and thc produce of tru lan
would have been increased many-fob
Free institutions,education, and oth(
means of progress would also hnv
been secured. This waa not, hov
ever, deemed practicable-ulthoug
in accordance with thc usual laws an
and customs of nations concern!u
suppressed rebellions-and thc sam
result must now be sought by til
slow operation of peaceful means. J
all the old olave Staten would pr<
claim pefect equality of rights an
liberty of speech and ol BU f rr age t
all citi/ens, with welcome and safet
for immigrants, thc South would soo

the Union-seeing that nearly all the i

_ 1
grtects of Intemp?rance. 1
The records of city mission labors
are lilied with testimonies to the evils
of intemperance. Take this extract
from-a-recent missionary report as an ?
example: The missionary says; ?
Rum's doingS'givc direction to not a '
little of oui* i'ubor.- ?* man whom* ? I'
had set down as a lazy fraud, and' lo 1
whom T had' given the cold shoulder,
one day informed me of a sick woman
whom bc wished I-would call and see,
giving nie particular caution not to
make my errand known to any one I
should meet in the house; to make 1
no inquiry at thc door, lest her hus
band should prevent my seeing her.
I was told in what room thc sick
woman was lying, and that I should
go into thc room without waiting for
a summons. Taking my wife with
mc I went according to thc directions
given mc. I found the house quite
respectable in appearance, and opened
tho front door, without knocking, and
walked in, ami though I saw the hus
band (as 1 rigidly supposed').' at work
in thc rear yard ; at once, without
addressing him, 1 proceeded to thc
second-floor room indicated' to inc,
and entered. A very dirty, disor
dered, rubbishy room received mc
and my wife. A strange mixture ol ;
misery and comfort was apparent. A
woman, young and dying, alone and J
neglected, was lying on what had !
beeb a very nice hair clotli sofa, un- i
der tho front window, an old, worn
gray army blanket 1 brown overlier,
and lier bead resting uncomfortably
on a dirty and patched feather pillow.
A smutty, broken lamp was burning
upon a large marble-top center-table,
just at her head. There was not a
decent chair in thu room, but tlie
walla were bung with au array of
portraits and pictures in oil, with gilt
frames ; also a pier mirror. There
was no carpet on the floor, winch
looked- as though it liad not been
swept in six months ; while heaps of
dilapidated odds and ends were scat
tered about.
Altogether, tho stale of this dying
woman Wt? us d V- p?VrrwOit?- wa cOuti' .
well' lib iniagi,?eil, or found in lite
most wretched tcneVneit-i; ita the city ;
and all this tue work ot rum. Her
husband, who owns thc house in
which be lives and several others, had
totally neglected bis wife, anxious
that she should die as soon as possi
ble. Though so young, perhaps
twenty-six* years obi,-she had become
i confirmed inebriate, with no pur
p -ii ? buL io indulge her appetite
for str mg drink, utterly neglecting
home and family, tier children were
left lo run about in i'aga, a?d were
found upon thc stieels ii the icpth ;
winter with no shoes on their lcd.
Thc poor, infatuated woman La.i been
in thc habit of taking the furniture,
bedding, and wearing apparel to thc
pawn-shop to get money for thc pur
chase of liquor. When I afterward
went to the husband to inquire about
his treatment of his wife, bc showed
mc in ids shop a bolster almost emp
tied of feathers.- which she had taken
out to sell for rum ; and, to save thc
carpet from the same disposition, he
had taken it off the floor of her room.
To the poor, miserable wreck of a
woman I spoke of thc compassion of
Jesus, but could get no response. Af
terward she was taken to thc hospital,
ind everything was done that could
(ie done under thc circumstances, but
io thc last the poor woman felt she
vas so far off-too far od' from Jesus
-she could not reach out to Him.
Tho city missionaries are laboiing
constantly, not only for the reforma
tion and elevation of Hie intemperate,
but also lo prevent the formation of
those evil habits which lead the way
!o drunkenness and dissipation. Last
year they received twelve hundred
.?md fifty-live temperance pledges, and
'hey enjoy thc satisfaction of seeing
much fruit of their arduous toil.-Na
tional 'Temperance Advocate.
LABOR. Labor-honest labor-is
mighty and beautiful. Activity ia
tho ruling element of life, and its
highest relish. Luxuries and con
quests are the results of labor ; we
can imagine nothing without it. Thc
noblest man of earth is he who puts
hands cheerfully and proudly to hon
est labor. Labor is a business and
ordinance of God. Suspend labor,
and where arc thc glory aud pomp of
?iirth-Ibo fruit, fields and pnlaoes,
md the fashioning of mutter for
vhich men strive and war? Let thc
abor-seorner Jook to himself, and (
earn what are thc trophies. From
he crown of ids head to- the sole of
ns foot, he is-the debtor and! slave of
?oil; The labor which he scorns lum
.ricked him into the stature and ap
>earance of n man. Where gets he
garmenting and equipage? Let labor !
mswer. Labor-which makes music c
n the mines, and the furrow, and the
forge-oh, scorn not labor,you, man,
who never yet earned a- morsel of
bread ! Labor pifies you, proud fool,
?ind laughs*you to-seorn.- You shall
l>ass to- dhst, forgotten ; but labor
will live on forever, glorious in its
3onquests and monuments.
Remedy for Hard Time?,
The remedy recommended by a cor
respondent of the Witness is: 1. To
increase production by putting every
acre possible under good cultivation.
2. To turn much attention to fruit
growing, packing, shipping, etc., in
the best style. 3. Fanners should,
as far as practicable, raise what they
need for family use on their own
farms, and give up depending on
specialties. 41. Strict but not nig- i
gavdly economy should be practiced,
and- all supci Uuitics cut oil, especially
intoxicating drinks and tobacco. 5.
The laboring classes should' have
nothing to do with unions, clubs, so
cieties or strikes to keep up wages,
which do not and will not succeed.
The above prescription followed for
a year would assuredly rehabilitate
all the wholesome ro.terest-3 of the
country, and give us an almost un- '
paralleled prosperity. We would
only add, let our sister States iu thc
South become happy families, and
their present d?solations will blossom
as the rose.
