An unprejudiced examination of the situation will show that the complaint of low wages by the negroes, has its foundation ratlier-in the sinister advice of designing men, than in the necessities of the nice, the lack of advalorem remuneration, orany disposition of the farmer to withhold a just compensation | of services. There are colored men in this community, working upon the same general j terms of contract, whether by the year fori wages or for part of the crop, who are prospering and even accumulating, while others are thriftless, penniless and ragged, and it Is generally from this hitter class, whose stock In] trade is thread bare politics,from whom these] complaints emanate.

Cheap Cotton and Dear Food. f AVuw and Courier.] Vc arc sure that we do not go too far when we say that there Is danger of a great Conti- j nental war, in which the whole of the princl-; pal nations of Europe will be engaged. It may not come this year, Jbut come it will, j and It is highly important that tha Southern ; people should take this into account In their 1 calculations this season. There is no way, that wo see, In which a! war In Europe of any kind can be ad van- j tagcoiis to the Southern Slates of the Arner-' lean Union. On the contrary, any and every war must and will hurt the South, In a great-1 or or less degree, according to the manner in l which the people conduct their agricultural, operations. An European war will stimulate at once j the demand for breadstuff's and provisions > and the prices of these articles will rapidly! advance. Millions of dollars will be poured 1 into the pockets of the farmers of the Northwest, who will rapidly become more prosperous than I11 the tlush times when speculation was rife because money was "plenty." But no money Troin Europe will come to the South. The South has 110 bjeadstufl or pr<?visions to sell. The war In Europe, also, will give employment to American vessels, ad-1 vmiee thn rates of freiirht. encouraire shlD buidlngand give employment ut high wages j to thousand of the workmen who ure now | poorly paid. But the South builds no ship. | owns no ships, arid will gain nothing by the prosperous condition of the Interests, unless in the profit uj?on such timber as she may be uble to furnish to those encaged In ship-building. A war In Kurope, like the war between Russia and Turkey, will give enormous con-! tracts for arms and munitions of war to the factories of New England, compelling them to work night and day to meet the demands upon them. Hut the South makes no arms or munitions of war. and has none to sell. There was a tolerably good supply In the South as late as 18tv>, but circumstances beyond our control caused our arms and munitions to pass Into the possession of the United States Government, and they have either been sold or are now or little value to scientific European combatants. The Carol In as would be benefited in a degree by a rise in i the price of nuval stores. Beyond tills, as we understand It, a war In Europe is all loss and no gain to the South. As soon as war is de- j dared the price of cotton will decline, it U in Europe that tho South finds the great mar- \ ket for tne Southern staple. W Ithout the Eu- j ropeau demand consumers could not be found for a fourth of the American crop. While, therefore, the South, by reason of war, would get a starvation price tor every pound of cotton that was sold, the Southern people, by | reason of tlio demand for provisions, would I have to pay^i famine price for every bushel of grain and ounce of meat that they were ] compelled to buy. For the Truth, a war in | Europe means Cheap Cotton and Dear Food, or Selling cheap and Buying dear. The Tax en Knowledge. [Xews end (Mirier,] Congress ought not to make any compro! mlse with the manufacturers of paper. The ; oiler to enter Into an freement that they will not advance the prioe of paper any furI thfcr. if Coneress will allow the duty on naoer and on materials used In the manufacture of paper to stand, (rives additional emphasis to the belief that the present high prices are the result of a combination among American manufacturers rather than of a natural Increase in tho demand for their manufacturers. Free trade In paper Is free trade in useful knowledge, fiee trade In brains,and free trade In education. There is as much reason In taxing sunlight or fresh air as lu taxing printing I paper. Some More "Food for Thought." Is it possible that Congressman Aiken favors the infamous system of assessments upon 1 public officers for political purposes? We cannot believe that he does. But if he does not, Why did he move to lay on the table the Anti-Assessment bill, having as his followers all the Republicans and only two Democrats, iloore, of Massachusetts, and Wells, of Missouri ??Xewa und Courier.

The average size of the farms I about four acres, but many have not mor than two In which they can put any crop Out of an entire population of 1,000, number lug ubout fifty families, nearly 4000 have go rniinf nftf.r a line Investigation into their clr cumstances, and I can say from persona knowledge that almost 100 more are suHerlni intense want. There are 200 families whosi only food weeks has been Indian meal prf pared with water in tne form of stirabout and sometimes for a variety. In the form of i cake. They would not complain even if the; had a sutticlcncy of this food. A poor woman the wife of Dan Doherry, of Altahal, came h me about a fortnight ago; she hud nine child rcn. I knew the family quite well. Tin house in which eleven of a family live i made up of a single apartment: there Is n< furniture, even of the rudest kind, except i couple of of stools ftnd nn aj>ology for a bed with a few old runs to do the place of cover ing. This woman, as I say, came to mo an< told me that tier family had nothing to-eat The only thing they possessed was a eonpt of hens which she sold to get iwllltle meal, was called to attend a man who, the docto declared, was dying of drop.-.y, brought 01 from want of nourisnment. J'h'o man wa rolled up in what once had been ft shawl This and an old sheet was the only cover! ii| he had on him. The house was destitute o every kind of furniture. The children wer literally naked, and gathered around a fev smouldering sods. If there was any demand for labor the ens would not be so very hard, but there are n< large farms, and each family is able to do th< work of their own little farm within them solves. The causes tliut brought on tho pre* cnt crl*ls have been accumulating for tin last three yearn. The Immediate cause Is th great failure of the potato crop; tho othe principal causes are the failure of the Kng llsh labor market, an<t the decrease in th( price of every kind of stock. About iioo men go annually to the harves in England; these bring home on an avcragi ?S u man; last year they did not averag above ?2 ft man.

It is surprising, yet not th< less true. that, eggs have been the chief cur rency for the past two months, J am lis .McFaddf.n, P.P. cot: nty LKirniM. The following letters describe the dlstr In two parishes of County Iieitrlm, which llei south of Donegal and Is bounded by Hllgo 01 the southwest: CARUKOAI.i.KN, February 21.?The populn tlon of Carregallen l'arish includes Sou rami lies, of whom wnj are Catholics. At presen 3u0 families arc applying for relief, and tin number increases weekly. Three acres would average the support o one cow, while the average quantity of lan< held by the farming class .may be computet at about ten acres. The 'farmers here havi ceased to cultivate their farms as heretofore preferring stock to agriculture. Ktock wa remunerative till last year, when butter ant stock went down to half tiielr former valuo hence the collapse. The people here arc sure to die of slow star vat Ion, and the average of deaths is treble tha of any other year. I could give you 1.10 names of families ii this darish whose clothes arc worse than tin greatest beggar I ever witnessed. They ar< without shoes to Iheli feet and have ho pos slhlc meansol obtaining them, and I fearncx year will be far worse than the present. The poor farmers are unable to give em ploytnent or to pay their debts at the shops Many farmers are at prescntunder electinenti from their landlords, although the latte know It Is Impossible forthelr poor tenants U pay rent and exist. The people here, and as i general rule throughout the country, are fai worse otr than In lKITand 1K18. They are like ly to prolong life for a short time only, as sisted by charity. Wholesale emigration t< America, or elsowhere, Is sure to tyke place. F. MUKltOY, P. P. Ci.oonk, February 21.?There Is no funne A>,inin/ihininv tho urmtll fnrmpr or luhnre tills year. There are -100 families In nbjec poverty in this parish. Wc reletved over 40 families this weok by clvlng thern smal quantities of Indian meal, which they wll need very week, probably until July. Ovei PKi families are In a state of perfect starvatloi I firmly believe that at least'200 families nee< on an average ?10 each and three successlv good harvests to take t"em out of their pooi wretched and deplorablo condition. Land lords can tell (hat many tenants owe thre year's rent and have no way to pay It. I could mention at. least one hundred farm ers who have no money, no cattie, no fooi and no fuel, but there arc two who, aboee all are In a wretched state?Hugh Conway am Peter Urady. The former has ei^ht in hi family and no food for them. The oilier Is li had health from starvation. Tlio pollco saj they never saw a worse ease. It Is very sad Indeed, that n young man and his family ar in so deplorable u state. There is a rumo that he Is not now with his family, but ijoln from house to house for his support. Other say his friends nave him money to leave th conntry. Hut his wife und children are 1: the crt'utest distress, Wc are relieving then as faros lies In our power. Trusting the Irisl Americans will not sutler a parish of 3,800 people to die from hunger, I bet; to be excuse for thus trespassing on your patience. J. Howkican, Catholic Curate. Scarcity of Labor.
