/. Wednesday, Augut 6, 1873. 01 Duly in the Future. We are able now to see clearly thle initakes we made in the past, and by clearly marking anl noting thetm we 1naV be able to avoid similar onel in fature. We now know that the Refori party movement of 1870 was a mistake, though at the time it gave our best nwn hopes of a sure and speedy deliverance from almost in tolarable evils. The movement was ro.arded by the Radical party as a mere- trick of the Democratic leaders to cajole the radical masses with a cry of reforni into voting with them, and under the plea of reforming the State government, which was notoriously corrupt, to seize once.more the reus of power. . The corruption was dis regarded and the party in power only clung more tenatiously twgether, there was no division in their rauks. and the Reform moveiiient was iguo miniously defeated. Without going back to the Presi dential election of 1868, when it does seem that any good observer of the course of events ought to have known that there was no possibility for the Democratic candidate to be elected, we now know, that it was a mistake for us to take any part in the election of 1872. Yet, great as wele these mis takes and vain as have been our efforts to secure some share in the govern uicnt of the country, we can not doubt that to have followed ,the advice of Col. Orr. first given, we believe, in 1'70. would have been more fatal and in1ehievous still. That this is so,he, Ihinself, affords a most striking and illustrious example: In politics, as in everything else, the only true policy i< honesty. In all cases. as honest inea and lovers of our country, we are bound to act up' to our highest convictions of what is right; and to have thrown ourselves bodily into a party.which we knew to be only a seething mass of corruption. vith the hope of purifying it, would have been an act of madness unParalleled in the history of the world, and a. mistake infinitely greater than any which we have ever made. Of this fiie: Col. Orr, hinmself, afford.s a most striking examwple. The greatest de feat of his life and tihe most grievous wound he ever received was fronm the hands o~f that party he vainly sought to purify. Believing that our present 4Governor was a man utterly beyoad redemption, and that there was not salt et.oughi in the world to save him, he threw himself into that canvass with the hope of doing the State ser viee and of raising the moral status of the party to whose service he had devoted himself. Vain hope, vain struggle Moses was triumphantly elected, the party goes on its way,.still S spreading rotteness as it. goes, and Orr bafled and defeated, sought servicet abroad whete lie died. Policy should never be preferred -to principle. Live honestly, act honestly if you die for it. We ment.ion these things now as facts of history from which we .may derive instruction and warning. While we hold this editorial pen we do not mean to discuss the acts of any public man; the frauds on the public treasury, or the course pursued by thme gtovernmiient of the State, profoundly convinced tha:t by such discussion we could do no good. and we write with the hope of doing good. By tihe study of the past we ought to be able to dramw lessons of instruction f-.>r our conduct in the future. And the'les son thait we derive to-day front the events of the last few years is this. that it is our duty. and that we can thus do mnore service to the State, to abstain from all participation in poli tics. :iod devote out best efforts to in crea-sing our material wealth, de veht.ping~ the resources of tihe State anld aiddinig to ourf inltellcCtual and1 mmoral resources by the cultiv:tion of Art and Scien~ce ando. Religion. Here we have ample fields whose soil is always fruitful and whose fruits neCver dissappoint us. Pure airs always b~o oe these fields and the nice sense :s never offendcd by the odors of the pest house. But, it may be urged as an objectionj to~ this course, t hat by following it we aadon the State to thle spoiler and yield ourselves a pasive prey to the opplre.a.>r. he object ion is only sound ini seming,e not inl reality. There is a ma.steriy inactivity which husbands it reorcs bides its time and wiaits with thle patieneet that God uses in his d.j:dinus with the world, for that mao lIenlt when th-e clock of doom shall1 st rike. Then: the inactivity becomes anf activity which is irresistible. Such au future is before us it we are worthy. SIt in our~ p wer to succed with a lasting~ success if we keep steadily be fore our eyes that ro:dl. to which the path of in:dustry an:d v irtue always~ tClnd5. . }Lut if. after all, it should turn (out that byV this course of smasterly"' wre:t Iivr we -hould never h ale tiom r.emle th'-~ n, e from t hc hanud of thle to all ' t. t ht s'obhuati f p wt k- im:n1.10 !W1; it an-I thll S ut will eenee to exit. Tr-r;y b) preveited by our a-:nry. by increasing ou and pr-sperity, by a stern ana .diehing devotion to correct principle. In our next we may continue this subjeet, and if we do. we hope to be uble to shew more clearly that the course here pointed out is the only way to a permanent success; that we are able to go furward in it, and that, if South Carolina is dead, yet at least that we, her children, can rule and en joy the land our mother dying gave us. The New Movemeit ini Tennes see aid Mississippi. The question of the separation of Black and White and the formation of a colored State. is beginning to be agitated in Tennessee and Mississippi. Would it not be well for us to begin to think about it everywhere ? The people of this country are now endeav oring to solve, practically, the most difficult problems ever presented for solution, viz: the granting of equ:d political privileges to races of the most extreiely diverse character. G rave fears may well be entertained for the result. We are not, by any means, beyond the breakers. And if the ship of State does not yet strike upon the rocks and become a complete wreck, we are inclined to think that its salva tion will depend upon the Supreme over-ruling Providence, and not upon the skill of its pilot or officers. Is the unification of the races possi ble or desirable ? We mean such unification as will make them one peo ple in sympathies, in feelings. hopes and aspirations ? Such unification as will make the disinction between the white man and the African no greater thn that which now exists between the Englishman and the German ? Such unification as will cause them to live together as one people in one State? Is this possible or desirable ? If not what is to be done ? Are the two races to remain together alwa3s in a state of autagonism ? Are the blacks to be used forever as the dupes and tools of blatant demnagogues who despise them while they use them? These, and many other gra~ve qjuestions present themselves for solution in this coilnection. R~epublican institutions draw their very life from the intelli gence and virtue of the people. :md free institutions can never long exist in any country if the masses of the people are ignorant and depraved. The ignorant should either hav-e no political privileges or they should be taught, trainled, educatedl and elevated so as to app)reciate them. But if the black raice should ever become enlighit eneLd and intelligent so as to be worthy of freedom, evenl theni it is doubtful whether it would be well for the black ad white to live togethler, oecuptying? the same district, the same country, itizens of the same State. Would they not always tramimel each other, ?nd be a clog upon each other's pro ress ? Is it possible for them to work together so as to be a mutual hep and assistance to each other, or oust they ever be suspicious and je:d us, each seeking the upper hand, each mie determLined to rule over The other? [f the latter supp~osition be the correct >e, then they should sepalrate, :nd :rtain territories should be set al-art or thme black race, which should be erected into States, where they i.zht m:are tihe opportunity afforded them of ~elf-governmnent, and of working out heir destiny in their own way, under he protection and general superintend mece of the United States. At pres :nt we are inclined to think that such wYIl ultimamly be the a rangeement. Spain and Cub ia. The nuew.s from pamiin and Cub:u till inudicate a muost u .:ettled and-un i:pp1y coijdition of :nThirs in these two :outries. War and bloodshed seemi :o be the order of the day. Time lepublic in Spain is not a success ; he independence of Cuba is not he nowledged and the prospect 1now is or civil war to ram.e for an indefinite ime, both on the Island and Peninsula. IIow long before men will learn to eat their swords into ploughshares md their spears into pruning hooks. Lonlgstree t. Beauregard. Wi e: Howy art thou fallen from heaven, (O Lucifer, Soni of the morning. IIoimer L.. IeG{owan,. E.sq., of Lau ren,. die.d ait Cesar's llead, on the Sth Julp, at 1 o'cloek A. .3. He had been utmtering~ for a long tilme previous to his death fromt a gunm shot wound tiruUh the lungs. receiv ed during the war, which ul:imzatelv destroyed his health. and tromt the effets o'f which he died as above stated. Ile was a member of' the bar at La1uen. anld was for four years Solicitor of the Sevnth Circuit. IIe was a brother of .en. Samuel 3c(eGowan, of Able ille. IIe leave's a wife. six children and al large circle of relatives and riuds to mourn his loss. 1[1omer L. 31eGouan had many warm.'e hri,u1 :''st tr wowl many iiks v pi:asa:n t, others not-W( ouiy eachd th mU-v, hust6in-, but ifu town ot Stv ;e at twilight, imnday even.inw, seven days after leaving Newberry After passing Chester, S. C., we noticed tha finc rains had fallen, and in genera!, cropt were looking very well, quite in contrast t( thosc lower down the road, and over on th( G. C. I. 1. Tle longer we role the betci did tlhey look,--w allude especially to cott6i -cor: bin cI(on-;iL,.iYrvble!ow the average. At Chrlotte, which point was reached al iihalf-past two, was fund a pret:y fair dinner with the exceptlon that the cllickeni bone: wee ' lnot we covered with nieat, and ilor rain; vegetation was bi.utifu to bpchoid gardens and tields looking as if there had been no suffering at ill. About forty-tiv( miles of rail ovr a eli-rming!y level cointry -in which to on ,nrprise we saw fivId ol cotton of a:irger :rowth and more proiin; uppearance thn:ii many in our boasted cot:ot bel-brought us to our objee:ive point, and to which we had come to gratify the ardent desire ot- friend W.-one of Newberry's biggest men, who thinks of buying the place if our approval is given. After th is last favot we are almost inclined to think that we arc ofa most accouiniodatitig turn-tatng care of other men's nuives, minding distressed babies-the particiul., s ueed not be imnttion ed herc-be;ides a hundred other things, not to speak of the 4ear widows; aid last, this trip, which has cost a whole week, no little fatigte, and sundry groanings over the th in condition of the chicken market. But we are here, and not a little surprised to find the place an active, lively town of about one thousand iuhabitants and no less than three omnibuses! *At the depot-tie cries of "this way for the St. Charles Hotel,." "Simonton House," and other equally famous places, made quite an impression. Of course we in clined to the first named place-"the St. Charles" sounded pleasantly-and our mind was full of delightful N-isions-this should be one of the first pbces we should purchase, and after resting aud feasting, we would finish the purchase. Have been out a little, but have effected no purchases yet-all in good time. T4tc region round about here is considered the garden spot of the whole country, and not without reason, for the people are clever, the so4 rich, climate salubrious, water delightful, and sickness of rare oncurrence. One gen:tle man informs us that lie has lived here twen ty-six years, raised ten children anid ha., not in all that time paid over S100 to the doctors -and jVd:ring by onie of the unfortunlate disciples who rode by the St. C. this mornin.g, tic above statement must be trne. The good old man looked as if lees seldom lell to his share. It is a great grain country thousands of bushels of corn are stored np by farmers, alhd which can be had for 60 cents, while oat< meet no sale at 35 cen ts. Hiorses and stock of all k inds are sleek, and show signs of good and plentiful feed. Strange to say, however, butter is scarce, but little attentlon being bestowed on its making, and why? D-catise, said a farmer this morning, we can only get 12. cents per poutnd for it, and we therefore feed our milk to the hogs. Mistaken idea. Money is ex ceedhigy. scarce in th is ebarming region, and a little capital might be made to accomprlish very large results, as has been shown here recently in scerual inistanices where men of energy have settled down, and with a little money hiave secured competencie;. Bitt it is not otur pturpose to invite people to move to thtis region, while we have an abiding place elsewhere. We sitmply state f:acts. Among our observatiois is tW fact, that, the men, after one leaves Chariotte in a wvestward (our-e, generally are spilt ex tremecly long-that is have hon.; legs-have seen bitt fewv oi the other s-.x as yet, and can't speatk knowiingly. But this rein ds us of a sunbearn which darted across our visiotnyesterday afterntoont, mihvay between Charlotte anid this point-alt, whit at beauty. We looked for ito auch hpicture, an I wvhen it burst tipon our vision the effect was beiider ing. If Nohrth Caroalina canr produce many such women, for it was a woman, then we will not be surprised to heatr of some of our susceptible friends emigrating this way She was in mourning-her garb denoted that -but her fe itures were wreathed in siniles. She goes to Ilickory Tavern, 35 miles beyond this, antd we know a very intiu: ate friendI who will go there also, day after t'>-morrowv. Who knows but she may be a discontsolate widow, and looking to that end an~ effort will be madec to find out-for the benefit of the many readers of the !IEtuAL. A moment back we tmentione:l that the nahes of this country are lessed with l,ng legs-and this reminds us of one of the most singular coineijlences on record-aut a taid :ay meal recenrtly the inveritable chicken formed a part of the mid-d.ty meal. We called for some-always do that when it is >n hand-the piece served proved to he a rum-stick of such form idable diienisionis tnd doubtful age, that it wias declined wviith a respectfud reqtuest to change it for another piece, the seconid piece was theC thi.th. The sight struck us with t'rror-we had been feastinig on chicken lately-not last year's roosters-it was one' time we repudiated hicken. lIe:arin;. a groan on our right-we ooked into ou;r neighbor's plate, and saw te fellow of our east away druim-stiek. Thmis man took to it, hiowever,. with a re- ignation worthy of a better cause. Curiosity iced us to look to the ti.;h t-imnediately next laiy another formidable leg-it looked like the ne we had refused-and fhoiisht!y imagined therie were but two such, bat beyond there vas rino:hier, atnd still others, whiile opposite, the thigh contnatiotns were equally numer mns. Whatt had become of the other parts wichirl once made the w lo!e of thtose ancieim chanticleers, muy nev be revealed ini this world. And thIs is not all--after dinner thyis singtlar fact was mentioned to an acquain tance, who occupied a sdat at the far end of the table, when, strange to snay, he told us that lie too had a leg of the s.une character served on him. Visions of legless roosters have becen h-gbing up anid down before our ees ever since. Where did those legs come from, and what became of the hod ies? We (ant answer-wiil some one help us ? Trhec thought unnerves uis, and to continue writing much longer, is very nearly out of the ques ion, till that vision of loveliness again is seenl, which is set down in the programme for Tht diay. One or two items, however, be-fore closing, aid one is that North Carolina is not mu ich better of .itt some respecCts than her uinfortu nate si'ter-for instatce-we reached here ott Monnday evenitng, jutst then thtere was a squable bclig decidle. itn the Itailroad I )pot as to which of two pa:rties, one newty eect:-dl, the other deposed, should have the D)irce-oship;; of the -45 mtihes oft' oti over whichl we hadl tr:ivelled.- It was decided at tmid i:alht in favor ot the party ti rst nu:amed wheni th.e othe r s;ole the roh!inig s t-ek a::! ste:med off, sin:ce which there ha15 been to tr.imu nve-r thte ro)a.l. h{ere is tie, itn.

Duxx's RoCK, N. C., July l8b, 1873. MR. EDITou:-l read in your iss5c ot the 2d inst., some remarks sugge,tive of the propriety of the large landholders of South Carolina, selling cheaply to foreigners the greater portion of their surplus lands, that a greater area might be brought under cultiva tion, improved, population multiplied, towns grown into cities, depots, stations, and I might add liquor saloons, or Cuffee traps, by the waysides, be grown into towns, as well as the value of real estate enhanced and the jWoducts of subsis:ence and trade, increased generally. Being a landiiolder, will you permit me to suggebt sonme reasons why I conceive this policy is not tnore agitated among land owners and carried into effect. In the first plc:e, there atre but few appli cations of such purchasers for these lands at any price. Secondly, the landholder is unwilling to sell at three dollars per acre so long as he can hold land, every acre of w-ich, if pro pyrly tilled, would yield a net remunuration of se% en dollari annually. Ile prefers to let it lay idle, to grow build ing board, rail timber and fire-wood, in dispensaible essentials of prime necessity, which with the tnatutral reclamation of the soil, will increase its value sevetn hundred per ce-it. in fourteca years, in which time his surviving children, being all of .mature age, can be allotted their distributive shares, and be settled o-, valuable homes teada. Thirdly, he is distrustful of selling to, and settling neighbors around hint with whose politics, social affiintits, manners, customs, or chiaraucter, lhe ;is wholly unacquainted. Might not the dog (approptriate compiarisonl, for lie is open to all the inmpositions of a dog) in many inlstantces get infested with ileas. Whatever accutmnited -amount of money laud will yield clear of expenses, mi three years, is thought to be a fair anad reasonable pric ror thie same. Then twelve dollars pecr acre would be a reasonable price for such l:tud, ullowing one-half to be i:i condition for eultivationi, the other in pa:stiure and timber. If foreignters, with capltil, would propose such prica., I etiter:ain no doubt latndholders would wiilingly and freely make eventual sales of ai greater bortion of their surplus lands in small tr.ucts, after first leasing them, one, two and three years, aut re.nuneration to the tenant, on condition the lessee would t-ec, grade, cultivate, rotate and improve the soil in good, husband-like mnannier, and on special condition the lessee would cast his vote to the puirposi-, and not thant the organic law of the State.be altered andl based upon the pirinciple of a cun.ulative form of suffrcge, wherein the property-holder might obtain an effective co-ordinate and coequal voice, with the non -property-holder in repre senting and operating thte legielative, judicial executive departments of the gov.erniment, as well as in the filling and management of all county offices. This, I conceive, wotuklibe a wiser and better policy for both, givitg the lessor time to become acquainted with the merits or demerits ot' thte lessee, his qualification of hecoming a permanent appropriate adjunct to the neighborhood, and a useful citizen to the country. And givitng the lessce time to test the accinativeniess of himself and] fanmi ly to the latitutde of the locality, to become accustomed to, and appreciaute the diet' usauges and common interest of his fellow citizeits, learn the nature of the products and the most successful mode of tilling, improv ing atnd preserving the soil. At the gnd of such periods, aside from his earntings and savings, he would be better prepared evei-y other wvay to becomite a free holder. And couhld have aissisted tmuch in pavitng a way throutgh the hallo:-box to a restorationi to the property-holder of that vital, inestimable and intalienable princeiple of liberty-the right and power of self-preservation, wvitht the sequence -of wise and judicious laws, retgalatinmg and a<ij tsting the proper relat ion of labor to capital. especiatliy the estabulihinme of that equitiale pr-ote-ction of agricuiltural capital antd its p)roceeds, in the absetnce of which, bo0th have sered s-u vastly, and raupidly declined.
