- NORTHERN IMMIGRATION. !
? J k
i
A Philadelphia correspondent of 1
the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel
has addressed a letter to that paper .
one-losing extracts from the New
York Sun and Philadelphia North
?: t , i% % {
American, Tv;hiqh, he says, reflect
le sentiments .of the public mind j
f the North on the subject of im-j
migration to the South. The sum .*
aid substance of them all is, that
' (
.vhi 1st the South is willing1 enough .
O O |
.o get Northern money and services
to build up her prosperity, she is j;
not willing to extend to Northern
men a friendly hand, and invite
"ibem to a full participation in so- (
cial and political rights and privi- 1
jeges. Xhe .Swi urges .thai whilst '
he South especially needs a class' *
of thrifty and intelligent small j
farmers who do tlieir own work m- f
dustriously and economically, yet it (
is'necessary to'secure them-, that i
they be assured of perfect tolera- !
tion, and the righ't to h'okl, main- j
tain and express their opinions at ,
all proper times and places. Aud f
it further urges that whatever po- t
litical views the class may entertain, 1
- - - % . i c
they will soon become lacntineci j
with the interests of the South, j
and will become the determined \
foes of all plundering politicians. 1
'The North American complains 1
oven mbre V.tterly of social and po- '
1 jtical Ostracism which is exercised j
towards Northern men, and states ]
that the effect of this is to send the '
mighty ^ood of Northern emi- ''
grants rolling steadily Westward. !
iiathcr'than go to Virginia, where "j
they can produce no social impres-h
eion, a hundred thousand Northern f
^ . J
emigrants would sooner go to Col- 1
orado, where they encounter no
oaste and no barriers, and where j
ihey.cau buildup a great and |>ros>erous
community. Xortheni emgraticn
being once driven oft', i* t
necking other fields df enterprise,11
ind the South must now Wait their j |
coming. The North American says: j j
'/When they appear again in theij
South as settlers. it will be under J
entirely different circumstances and1
in organized communities of their jt
own. This will fre "a population j <
That will not celebrate rebel' anni-j <
versaries and birthdays,' nor plaoe!(
:'io beaten flacr above the national!"'
v.ymbol. ' It will carry all its itisti- u
N "utioiis with it, and base its eivili-J;
iiatiou on religion, education, gen-j1
^eral intelligence, libraries, newspapers,
industrial establishments and; j
-the elefation" of' labor. As the
cordon jpf national power was slowJy
but ii'Veslstibly drawn around the (
rebellion Until the monster' wasj(
pless, so the cordon of Northern i1
-'ii.'iigrants must be drawn. Mis- <
rouri tells the story of what is to be
:r hereafter. South Carolina and'Miss-j
issippi ds they now stand are but!,
ten: nc cry outposts, established to j
iiwuit the coining hosts of the! 1
!North. When the great armv of t
emigrants again seeks the South it(]
will go without invitation, and will!,
treat with contempt the social ban!'
now established against all whoi1
?.rill not exalt the rebel cause and;'
its leaders'.M In the meantime the <
North has other fish to 4ry. It has 11
to pay oft'the trar'tlefrtto')
populate the West, and to do a va
liety of other things of like magni-1'
tado, so that it does not matter}'
' iiiuoh whether ^Northern emigrants)1
a.1" the South are welcome or not."; J
The sentiments expressed by!]
r.hcse journals are doubtless honest-j
ly entertained by 'them, and they

tion as exercised towards Northern! ?
men ; vet they do very greatMnjus-^

bodV of our people. "We deny that

Et is only against the political adventurers
who come here to plunder,
to sow dissension" between the
races, and to enrich themselves by
the sacrifice of the best interests of
the South, that the just indignation
Df our people has been exercised.
They have been the authors of all
the bribery, fraud, and malfeasance
iii office which have made political
government at the South a by-word
ihd reproach, and are as much despised
at the Xorth as in the South.
' To quote the words of the Chronicle

Senator Carpenter's Speech.?
The great speech in Congress during
the past week lias been that oi'
Senator Carpenter, in support of
jisbill providing for a new election
n Louisiana. lie urges that it is
:he right and duty of Congress to
nterfere. The right of Congress
le bases upon that provision of
lie Federal Constitution which
guarantees to every State a rcpubican
form of government. The
>resent State government in Louis
^ ? 11 - *n
ana is an usurpation?mc i resilent's
interference was unaHithorzed?and
the only relief from
>resent entanglements is to order
i new election
In concluding his argument, Carpenter
said Congress was in a pre-,
licament where it cguUI not stop.
Louisiana had so-!ut one Senator
icre, and the constitution says she
ihe must have two. The Senator
"rornXew Jersey (Frelinghuysen)
lad said that he would not vote
'or Pinch back, and by that declared
there was no liepubiican
government in Louisiana. Byseating
- Piijchbaek -the ' Senate,
voukl have'to recognize Kellogg;
jy seating McMillan it would have
ecognized MeEnery: but by reusing
to seat either it declared
here had been no election. AVas
t wise to adjourn this troublesome
question to the troubles of the
Presidential election ? It was not
probable there would be the same
inanimity then that there was
:he last time; for as he scanned
[he political horison lie thought
lie could see more than one
candidate, and it was not im
probablo that the vote of Louisiana
night chnnge the whole thing,
rhe question should be settled now,,
ind put out of the way, as it \v;is
icither wise' nor prudent to ;td-|ourn
it. He had no personal i'eei-j

with which a spoke was turned to c

Adjournment of the Legisla-^
tuue.?The Legislature lias adopted
a resolution to adjourn 011 Saturday
next, with the proviso', that it
should be subject to the call of a
majority of the members. This
proviso was strenuously sustained
by Mr. Meetze, the Chairman of
the Judiciary Committee of 'ho
House, on the ground that there
was danger oi some financial em
bavrassmcnl through lit"? action ol
bondholders, who would he
" .11[iii"! to app!\ to the Supre rue
! '":f! for .'i nuntilninus to compel
I ihe ('omptrolhr-Geneial to levy a
tax to pay the interest of t'no Conversion
and other bonds, and that
j Ibis would likely necessitate further
Legislative action. It does
; not appear, however, what further
i Legislative action is needed with
!regard to the Conversion bonds
I which have already been declared
I by the Legislature to be illegal and
void; audit would seem that no
I power of the Courts could restore
them to life- Another reason is
assigned by Hurley for the proviso,
that Grant may withdraw the troops,
and then ? "Whatever be the reason,
wc arc disposed to think that the
re-assembling of the Legislature
for another session will be about as
serious an evil as any it may be
called upon to redjess. These long
and frequent sessions impose heavy
burdens 011 the people.
Lectuoe on Sunday Xiciit.?
We regret thatwc were not present
to hear the excellent sermon" to
young men delivered by the Rev.
R. X. Pratt, in the Methodist
church, to a crowded audicncc on
Sunday night. Ilis text was from
Lamentations iii: 27, and was, we
learn, a very eloquent and earnest
exposition of the subject matter of
his text?subjection to' the Divine
law. Mr. 1'ratt is one of the most
promising young ministers of the
Baptist Church, commands always
a good audience, and is always listened
to with interest. We trust
that it will not be long before lie
will be permitted to worship under
itlie shadow of his own statelv editice.
"When completed it will be a
. monument to his own industry and
zeal.

Daring Robbery. ?"We learn
that the bed-chamber of our esteemed
townsman, Mr. James A. ,
Norwood, was entered by a daring
burglar on last Sunday night, and
his wearing apparel abstracted from
his bedside, together with a valuable
gold watch, gold spectacles, audi
The whole loss!
i ' " . .
amounted to some $-00 m value ,
The robbery was so quietly ell'ectedi
that the articles were not missed
[until next morning, when, search
being iuade, the pocket book and
;sonie papers were found near at
hand. ]S o clue lias yet been had as
jto the perpetrator. \\re trust soon
jto be able to report progress.
Tjie Liquoii Tkaffic.?According
to the census of 1870, the capital
engaged in this country in the
manufacture of liquor in all its
branches amounted to ?06,058,945,
and its annual product was placed
at .$94,123,014. Of the three hundred
and ninety industries into
which the manufactures of the
United States are divided, only five
employ greater capital?only nine
produce more. The industries
which rank with it are those employed
in the great staples of life?I
cotton, and wool, and iron, and
lumber, and flour. It is an alarm
ing fact that there is tnort> money
spent in this country for liquor of
all kinds than there is for bread ami
meat and clothingt.
