Especially 1 ( is this the case as regards New York, the in- j( tention being to annoy the Democratic Legis- i,! ture there, for repealing the ratification of the amendment. In that State negro suffrage is 1 ^ now restricted by a property qualification. n A new party was organized in New' c York on Wednesday last, under the name of; li "New Democracy." The founders base the, a party on the fundamental principle of requiring the reference to the people of all laws ' passed by their legislative representatives, as ' ^ is done in sevend of the Swiss cantons. A 1" shrewd bid is made in the platform for the ! votes of the women. The New Democrats ! favor the running of all the railroads and 1 telegraphs by tho government, and the em-1 v ployment of everybody who wants work by 1 T the national and local authorities. * a ??The negro members of the Georgia r Legislature are putting on extraordinary style t in the way of clothing. The most of them j wear plug hats and tight breeches, and all sport gloves and walking canes. Several of f them have made desperate attempts to part their hair in the middle, but very few have t yet accomplished the feat. It is npw the style ( among the white dandies to comb their hair i as far down into their eyes as possible, and , r some of the colored gentlemen have tried to ;| make their wool do the same way, so as to be fashionable, but the result so far has been c discouraging. The report from the Pacific Railroad f s for the 20th of January is that the track is 11 clear, through to San Francisco, ^o snow on fi the great plains, nor in the Black Hills, nor in the passes of the Rocky Mountains, nor in the lofty chain of the Sierra Nevada, to obstruct the trains, but a clear track from ocean to ocean. At the same time the record shows the Hudson River open from New York to Albany, and the same is reported of all the European rivers emptying into the North Sea and the Lower Baltic, which are usually fast locked in ice in midwinter. It is certainly an extraordinary winter so far, over the tvhole face of the civilized world.

Congress has decided this vexed question, y making no decision at all, although it was cussed" and discussed for several hours. The louse was unable to swallow the majority eport of the committee, which declared Mr. Vallace entitled to the seat, and unwilling to 3t Mr. Simpson have it. It was therefore reDived that neither contestant was entitled to Uq oqq + and fho nusp u'?5 referred hack to the I UV/ OVWVj UUU VUV VMW ? vw - ?- ? ? , ?, _ _, ommittee on contested elections. The effect f this will be to deprive this district of epresentation in Congress, probably till anther Congress is elected next fall. The disosition of this case is a fair specimen of Radial justice. Although Mr. Sitopson was clearjr the choice of his constituents, and it was roposed to remove his disabilities, the House ssolved to set him asi^e and exclude him by on-action. "Well, small favors ought to be. lankfully received, and, for our part, we refer no representative to a mw-representative ^ STANTON" versus BUCHANAN. President Buchanan was severely censured y both sides, for his uncertain attitude toards the seceding States. But Hon. Jereliah S. Black, Attorney General under Mr. iuehanan, has recently written a letter to deind liimself and the other members of that abinet from certain slanderous imputations f treason, made by over-zealous friends of le late Mr. Stanton, which letter proves very learly that the President could not lawfully ave done any more than he did. He was in le dilemma, on the one hand, of having either authority nor means to make war upon le South. Gen. Scott having officially reported mt five companies constituted the entire mailable force of the United States' army at mt time. On the other hand, he could make o compromise with the South, which would e binding upon the succeeding administraon. All he could do was to preserve peace ntil the inauguration of Mr. Lincoln, leavig the new President and his advisers free to loose between war and compromise. This character, of peacemaker, brought a reat deal of obloquy on Mr. Buchanan, as Dth the North and the South were at fever eat; but both very soon found other objects >r animosity, and the "timidity" of the resident, as it was called, was forgotten, iut certain of the ultra loyal have seen prop: to select Mr. Stanton as the great man of le North during the war, and in order to lake out their case, find it necessary to belite everybody else. Even that i^ol of the truly loyal" heart, the "late lamented" him;lf, now figures in reminiscences and anecotes of the war as a good-natured fool, too eak to resist popular clamor, mortally afraid f Stanton and yet running to him for help in * -"Tl Xl J li critical exigencies. >? neu iiiej umu su^u ictures of their pets, their- enemies of course iay expect much worse. Mr. Buchanan and lost of his Cabinet are accused of plotting eason against the Union, and Mr. Stanton ets the credit of having bullied, terrified, exoeed and out-geueralled them. Mr. Black effectually silences these, falseoods. He proves conclusively that Mr. Stan>n fully endorsed all the views of the Cabinet t the time, and took a sombre view of the robable results of war. More than this, he aid that war could end only in disunion, or he subjugation of some States to the despotic ill of the others. But his views changed in 862, and he afterwards became notorious for is utter disregard of all restraints, constituional or otherwise, to his authority. Why ie veered around so completely, is for his adairers to explain ; but that he did completely ace about, is now an established fact. A grateful nation" must seek other grounds han those of early and consistent support of he war, for worshipping Mr. Stanton?that 3, until some other eminent country-saver lies. It is remarkable how many Radicals have ieen the great man of the war. At one time t was Mr. Lincoln's unsurpassed administrate ability, which alone carried the North hroue:h. Then it was Mr. Stevens' wondrous egislative power, then General Grant's briliant genius, and now it is Stanton's iron will. Vhen Seward dies, it will be discovered that lOthing but his skilful diplomacy "saved the nimfrv " nnd when Mr. Chase dies.it will be ? J , lis masterly financiering. History will probibly divide the honor among these, allowing ome share to their two million soldiers; but 11 the meantime, with due respect be it said, every dog will have his day." MERE-MENTION. The house of the city sheriff of Charleston ras robbed of several articles of value last reek. A Charleston detective had Manger Ford before the Mayor, because he was efused admittance into the Theatre without a ieket. A drunken man recently wen' uto the store of a lady in Camden, and made ise of some indecent language, for which ofence she administered to him a thorough hrashing with her own fair hands. The Charlotte Observer says the jail of that city iow has eleven inmates, three charged with uurder, four serving out sentences and four iwaiting the action of the grand jury on harges of larceny. The Charlotte, Colimbia and Augusta railroad company arc elling mileage tickets, good for one thousand uiles of travel on the road, at $30. Tickets i?r five hundred miles are SIS. It is iv ported that Gen. Beauregard is soon to marry again, his betrothed being a very beautiful and wealthy New Orleans widow. "An old gentleman, of great experience, says he is never satisfied that a lady understands a kiss, unless he has it from her own mouth. ""It is said that there is a lot of Bohemians in "Washington who make their living by writing speeches for illiterate Congressmen. One was employed the other'day to write a reply to a speech he had ftirnished another member. THE SOUTHERN GUARDIAN. This well-known paper, which was suspended when Sherman dest^yed Columbia, has been revived under the auspices of Messrs. Wm. H. McCaw & Co., publishers. Mr. Charles P. Pelham is the editor, and Mr. Wm. H. McCaw associate editor. It will be published daily and tri-weekly at Columbia, S. C., its former place of publication. We tender the Guardian our best wishes for its sunces3 and -permanent establishment among I the journals of the State. . . CONGRESSIONAL. On the 25th, the committee on finance reported to the Senate a substitute for the House bill for the income tax for 1870. The substitute provides that the revenue laws shall be so amended as to continue the taxes on in-. \ wuiesJ, dividends'and salaries during the year, .1870, nnd . '1 ?l??iin. H in II II ri taxes as are not paid or payable in 1870, shall be paid in 1871. The Senate discussed the bill to increase the national banking currency. The Western and Southern members seem to I favor a slight increase of the circulation, and a more equitable distribution of banking capital. New England Senators desire no chaDge in the present distribution, but propose to equalize it by largely increasing the issue of national currency. * \ In the House, the contested election case of Wallace vs. Simpson, from the fourth district of South Carolina, was taken up. The committee made two reports, that of the majority declaring Wallace entitled to the seat, and that of the minority, declaring neither, elected and the seat vacant. The House passed a resolution adopting the report of the minority, as an amendment to the report of the committee, by a vote of 103 to 731 A motion to adopt the report as amended was, after some filibustering, laid on the table, and the case goes back to the committee, TW.:? fVio naan rvprmtlipfl fivP TinilTfl. I illlQ lllUUlg HilU WAAV VUOV VWM|/*VM.M.? On the 26th, the Senate continued the debate on the currency bill. The House took up the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill. Mr. Butler replied to Mr. Dawes' late speech, which charged the government with wasteful and inexcusable extravagance. Mr. Butler denied Mr. Dawes' charges* accused him of making unfair and unfounded statements, and undertook to read him out of the Republican party. Mr. Dawes thereupon re-iterated his charges, refused to be read out of the party, and went into Mr. Butler's record since that gentleman's conversion from Democracy, in 1861. On the 27th, the Vice-President officially announced the signing of the bill to admit Virginia into the Union, and John F. Lewis, one of the Senators from that State, who was present, was sworn in and took his seat. The currency debate was continued until adjournment. In the House only four members from Virginia were sworn in, the others being in the care of the committee on contested elections. "The appropriation bill'was taken up, and Mr. Dawes made a lengthy and formal reply to Mr. Butler's remarks the day before. On the 28th, the Senate was engaged all day on a bill to appropriate 830,000 for the relief of the poor of the District of Columbia, which was finally passed. In the House, bills were introduced to reduce the army; to provide for the collection of debts due by southern railroads; and to establish a territorial government in the District of Columbia. The legislative appropriation bill was discussed in committee of the whole, until adjournment. On the 29th, the Senate was not in session. The House met f<5r general debate, and several gentlemen made speeches for buncombe, on repudiation, the finances, &c. On the 31st, in the Senate, a postal telegraph bill was-reported by the postal committee, with a recommendation that it be passed. Two bills for the admission of Mississippi were introduced, imposing about the same conditions as in the case of Virginia. It was resolved that a vote be taken on the currency bill on the next day. In the House, a resolution ordering the banking and currency committee to report a currency bill similar to that of the Senate, was defeated by a large majority. A resolution declaring five-twenties payable in greenbacks, and censuring the administration for buying them at a premium, was laid on the j table by a vote of 122 to 41. EDITORIAL INKLINGS. Very True. C. P. Leslie, of land commission fathe, sometimes takes a very eorrect view of things. In the course of a few remarks in the Senate last week, he said that there is not a colored man in the South fit to be an associate justice of the Supreme Court, and that the election of Hoge to Congress is a disgrace to the bench and to the Radical party. Mr. Leslie was not strictly accurate in speaking of the "election" of Hoge. As that gentleman was most decidedly defeated, the Radical party is ,not responsible for his election, but for his being in Congress instead of the gentleman who was elected. With this slight, and perhaps unimportant, correction, l we cordially approve of Mr. Leslie's remarks. | No More Presents for Officials. The New York Sun says that the Senate Committee on retrenchment have a bill before them, providing that no official or employee shall be allowed to receive presents from persons employed in inferior position to himself, or receiving smaller salaries than his. The object of the bill is a good one ; but it will be up-hill business to get it through Congress, where gifts are not looked upon with any very burning scorn. Even if Congress were to surprise the country by passing such a bill, what would the President do with it? How could General Grant have the face to j sign his approval of it, when nearly everyI ii.i? ^,?na io "mft" nf snnip adrnirpr tiling ucunuo IO Viiv fc,"- " in search of office? One Hundred Guns for Old Virginia. The people of Richmond, in their joy at the prospect of getting through Butler's reconstruction mill, made preparations for firing 1 a salute of one hundred guns, as soon as the j passage of the Virginia bill should be an! nounced. But long before this happened, the [ conditions fixed to the bill had dampened I their enthusiasm, and when the salute was j fired, two-thirds of the crowd present were col; ored. It was arranged to run up a specimen | of the old flag on the capitol, and with the : first gun ; but the flag wouldn't rise just then, and it was not until two or three cannons called for it, that it responded and majestically soared to its elevated roost. This was regarded as an ill omen ; but the evil was succeeded by an omen of more hopeful interpretation. The day was dark, and just as th( flag roched the top of the staff, the sun buBt fortfc, his first rays kissing the beloved fla;, as thcugli glad to hail once more so well knwn an emqlem of liberty. -Truly the pSopl?ef Virginia should rejoice, especially when tey consider how carefiilly they are guarded fenaJi^tTng themselves in their new born-fredom. South Carolina Agricultural So^ety. The Executive Committed this society met in Columbia last week. Tie premiums for the best five acres and the bet Bingle acre of cotton were awarded to Mr. J.tf. Crawford, of Columbia. A premium list j1 $7,000 was authorized for the next fair, with, is $3,000 larger than last year's list. design for medals, offered by Messrs. W. Whilden & Co., of Charleston, was adopted^nd tfte-committee authorized the making- oh large number. The medals will be aboutthe size of a Mexican dollar, with the desigipf a palmetto tree, sheaf of grain, barrel of tipentine, bale of cotton, agricultural implemets, and other owmKf\lo nf narienltnrfi and nichanics: but "J"""" ? r we forbear further description, ljping that by next fall thesO medals will bM^nttion in York that description wilJtf^H^Hra.

At the last term of the Edgefiell Court, the case of Grice vs. Mobley was taed, in which the defendant was accused of oticing away four laborers, hired by the plahtiff, ir 1867. The jury gave a verdict in avor oi the plaintiff for $300. The Edgefield corres pondent of the Augusta Constitvtionaist sayf that a similar case was begun there to 1868 but the defendant compromised by. paying damages before the ensuing term of Cou*t Ii Barnwell, a jury gave a verdict for $730 dam ages, in 1868, for the same offence.' Leslie the Land Commissioner, tried to have he ver diet set aside at the term, in February 1869 but failed. , The verdict of the juries in these ernes wil probably be endorsed by ninety-nine oit of i hundred of our citizens. Although th? labor er who breaks the contract is, in law, the chie offender and liable to a suit forjja^ggg^jhi remedy does not meet the evil. The great irmj oritv of laborers are bevond the reach of dam " "1/ "* V ages, because they have no property. It is bu just that the parties who persuade tlem t break contracts, should be made responsibl in their stead. The " Gentleman from Mississippi." . Hiram R. Revel, the negro eleeted t the U. S. Senate from the State of Mississippi has only been living in that State since th ! war, having made his entry into Jacksan wit1 die Federal army. He was born free in Norti Carolina, in 1822, and went to school in In j diana, where he became a Methodist preachei teacher and lecturer. He wandered tfrroug the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and "Mi* souri, in the capacity of a general enlightene of the colored race, until the breaking out c the war, when he turned up in Baltimore a a. Union-saver, and assisted in the orgftnizf tion of the first colored regiment in Marylant He then went to Missouri and performed L-siiuiiai?piifcri'jru 1i.aV~TTWr?,-"?rio. taught school till 1864, when he drifted t Vicksburg, and got into the FreedraerFs Bi reau. He spent the next two years in J?ansa and Missouri, and then returned to Missisaipp where he was made presiding elder of th southern part of the State, councilman < Natchez, member of the Legislature and I S. Senator. Mississippi has elected three U.S. Senator but is entitled to only two. This excess < representation furnishes a good plea for tl exclusion of Revel, and the other two Sent tors elect will probably work for this resul The Wilmington Star suggests that, as thei are but two seats in the Senate for Mississipp | Revel should beseated in Sumner's lap, whic would be an excellent idea, if it would kee Charles off* of the floor. Inscription for.the Grant Monument. The friends and admirers of the Pres dent have raised a fund for a monument i his honor. It is a statue of the Genijjfcf o horseback, in full uniform, but, ,we-?keliev without his usual cigar. Don Piatt, the sa castic correspondent of the Cincinnati Cot, mercial, volunteers the following inscfiptic for the monument: Erected to the Honor Of Ulysses S. Grant, General, And President. Of obsoure origin and questionable training, Ho held himself aloof from parties, And patriotically Had no principles. Entering the army, kiHinnln oni^ vnn rAnnwn By making the road to Richmond ?

Equal Rights. 4 A Washington correspondent tells tl following good story: A negro member of Council recently offt ed and secured the passage of an ordiuanc denying license to any restaurant or place amusement that refused to treat negro custor ers on a perfect equality with whites. Tl father of that measure is the owner of tl principal barber-shop in the city. While 01 of his workmen was scraping my chin the ot er day, I asked him if he ever had any cc ored customers. "No, sah; we don't sha1 no niggas in dis shop/' was the prompt repl "But," said I, "suppose a colored maq we to come in and sit down in one of the cliai like I do, what would you do?" "Put hi out, sah. Some shops shave niggas, but d is too 'spectable for dat." "You wouldi refuse to shave the colored Congressmen fro Louisiana, would you ?" "Yes, sah. Wouldi shave no niggas, no how, even if doy w President. One o' General Grant's came here one day, but he didn't get no shav | no, Scan, we got an we can ao 10 smivu < : white folks, and don't want no niggas." j Prince Pierre Bonaparte. j The life of Prince Pierre Bonapart j whose killing of Victor Noir was the occasii | of the recent excitement in France, has be< rather vagrant and turbulent. He was bo j at Rome on the 12th of September, 1815, 1 ! father being Lucien Bonaparte, uncle of t ! present Emperor. In 1832 he visited his u ( cle Joseph, who was living in the Unit j States. After a brief stay here he went the Spanish provinces in South Americ|, th fighting for their independence, and entered the Columbian army as Major of cavalry. He soon tired of this and returned to Italy, where he got into difficulty with the Papal , authorities, and in 1836 was ordered to r leave the country. Failing to obey, he was one day attacked by a troop of Roman constables, and a desperate conflict ensued. The Prince killed one of his assailants and wounded two, but was himself severely wounded and captured. After a long imprisonment, he revisited this.country, returned to Europe, and while in Albania, got into a bloody affray with some Greeks. At the intercession of the English government, he was released, on condition of leaving Greece and Italy entirely. At the beginning of the French Revolution of 1848, he returned to Paris, and got into the Assembly from Corsica. In 1849, he went to Algeria with the French army, but on the eve of battle returned to Paris without leave, for which he was dismissed from the service, fought a duel and subsided into private life. Since the coup d'etat by which Louis Napoleon made himself Emperor, Prince Pierre has led an uneventful life, spent mdstly at his country house. He contracted a left-handed marriage with a woman of doubtful reputation, hut refused or neglected to support her.

For the Yorkvllle Enquirer. FROM KING'S MOUNTAIN TOWN8HIP. ' Mr. Editor:?Our neighborhood was surprised a fow days ago, by the sudden and unexpected appearance in their midst, of a party 1 of State Constables, who have made their | headquarters at Mr. Henry Hullender's, near i the old "Wear muster-ground." , It appears that a short time ago, a party of the so-called "Ku Klux," from some quarter, : made their appearance at Hollender's, and ' enquired for one Billy Wright, colored, who [ was living with a white woman as his wife, on j Hullender's lands. Wright succeeded ir ^s, caping from the "Ku Klux," but they fired i and burned down his house, and made some demonstrations about Hullender's which ex" cited his fears to such a degree that a military 3 guard has been placed there. They come, ostensibly, to preserve peace ?n<I nnipt.inlfi. and to Drotect persons and 1 > 1 * 1 property. We understand they have brought l several boxes of "Winchester rifles," or other - improved style of arms, and are rapidly ree cruiting. On Wednesday last, the fourth day j after their arrival, they organized thirty-two j strong, by electing John R. Faris, Captain, i. and H. K. Roberts, Esq., Lieutenant. Seve eral persons of color have enlisted, some of a whom had made contracts for the present year, thus embarrassing, to some extent, their r former employers. With regard to the number to be enlisted, j_ or the length of time they are to remain in r our midst, the writer has not been informed; t- but a little calculation will show that they r will cost this county one thousand dollars or >=-111 'J i i i*I. i i ? 1 ?*r'" ?? * ?! i J. ?1' in * e every good citizen will use his best efforts to P render it unnecessary?if, indeed, the neces[j sity does exist?for them to remain, r It may be, however, that these demonstra - tions are made chiefly for political purposes. l* Our State elections will come off next fall, r and if something is not done to prevent it, the upper counties, at least, will elect Democratj ic members to the Legislature, and county ir officers generally. But be this as it may, every d true patriot should stand firm at his post?re>f cognizing the "powers that be," rendering obedience to the existing laws of otir country ^ and, we trust, the day is not far distant, when all such evils will be matters entirely of the ie past. H. ie Antioch, January 28, 1870. g 10 * Foj the Yorkville Enquirer. ls THE TIDIES. ie A great many men spend their time in abus ing Yankees and cursing Radicals, and it has ie about as much effect as the barking of .a dog ^ at the moon. Just so long as our people con n tinue thus to act, they will be the servants oi ,d the Yankees and be ruled over by negroes h But humble and degraded as our condition is ie there is a plan by which we can ri3e. itif not by talking, but by working. If we wil 1 all go to work, we will not have time to brooc over our past wrongs, and we will thus giv< the Yankee and Radical no time to wrong ui ^ in the future. A great change has taken place in oui t; country. Before the war, the negro could tx in made to work. Now he will not, and canno' j he made to work any more than suits him | Before the war it was degrading for a whiti ^ | man to be seen at the anvil pr work-bench,- oj d ' holding the plow handles. Now it is work | starve or steal. The privilege of being i i- "gentleman" of leisure in our country, wai ^ j wrested from us when General Lee surren ^ dered. * j Now if every white man in our country wil jg go to work in earnest, a radical change wil rs | take place that will astonish everybody. Then i-1 are enough of idlers and loafers in the SoutI to make several thousand bales of ootton. W< )r do not mean negroes, but white men ptfc 11, grown-up boys. If these white men and .boy; )r'! could be induced to go to work and stop loaf ; ing, what an infinite blessing it would be t< a themselves and to the whole community I Ii e,! this way they would show more independence n> and exhibit more manly spirit, than by lam 13 i pooning carpet baggers. Q_; Right or wrong, we think there would b m ! very little ha "d in trying the work plan du in ring the present year. Many of us have triec ie I the loafing plan, and things are not gettinj , better fust. It will be very hard for some o us to take hold of the plow handles, but w i must do that or worse. The crisis is on us The inevitable consequence with the white mai 1 nnd negro, is work, starve or steal.1 PETER PINDAR. 2 e id , The Lunatic Assy lum.?It is generally re s-; ported and believed that Dr. Parker, superiu j nf Sfata liiinarift Asvlum. is to h IU : icnucuv v* ?j r of removed, and Dr. J.

We learn, in addition, that ? company now numbers seventy men. f It is a source of deep regret, if any of e citizens of York, knowing how eagerly an i. i cuse for military interference is snatched a! have given so plausible an occasion as i bnminnr of a house. There is some doi I o ? -1 about their participation in the affair; for j hear that Hullender, who made the compla I to Governor Scott, told his Excellency ti g j he believed the party of so-called Ku-K] ! came from North Carolina. Be this af > ; may, we know that the public opinion of t s ! county is totally opposed to mob law in t a j shape, and we hope it will make itself hei f i on this occasion. The spirit of law and or * is nowhere more prevalent than in York, t a comparison may be challenged with f 3 part of this broad land, as to the scarcity i crime and the safety of person and propei r j both of which are chiefly due to the gene 11 morality and good sense of our people. Hoi e! burning is not justifiable in their eyes, f j they always have, and always will, by < 3 course of law, punish and suppress it. 31 We have, therefore, a word of censure j the Governor, who is responsible for inflict upon us the insult that the laws cannot be enforced, or property protected here, without B the aid of a military force. He has acted without the authority of law in this case; for a the law allows him to use military force, only , when he knows thai the civil officers are unable M or untinlling to afford protection to aiiy citizen asking it Our sheriff and, as for as we can learn, our magistrates were not called upon at B all, but left in ignorance of the fact that a . crime had been committed, until the arrival of their unexpected allies in the work of pre- I serving the peace. Under these circumstan- * M ces, the Governor is bound, in honor, to ex- fl plain to our citizens why he has interfered in the matter. In the absence of any reason for I believing that life and property are unsafe here, he is further bound to remove his State * constables and disband his volunteer force, who are merely living at the expense of the 4 onri in no ?nrt of wav "nrotecting" M UUUUtJ, ? -- ? anybody or anything. We call upon the ^ Governor for his evidence in the case, in order that our people may know when to consider ? themselves, or ratter, when he considers them, M \ in danger. . . ' M 5 .

V Mrs. Carroll, the lady to whom the build- | ^ ing belonged where the fire first originated, j ? having lost everything, has been made the |0^ happy recipient of much substantial aid from >ecj many of our citizens.

The burglars 'must be adepts at4he business, as we are informed that tbey deliberately opened boxes of oysters and eat'them from the counter, and that, too, almost under the noses of those booupying the store for a bed-room with t^ue view of protection.. J^pund sleepers or. $Qte burglars, we can't/ leH which. This makes the seventh robbery Mr. Simpson has suffered within a oa' short time. njL It is no unusual thing, here, of late, to get up in the morning and hear of somebody ta| being robbed, and the skillfol manner in which M it is sometimes done, leaves hilt little room to } doubt that the parties ftilly understand their business, and are not without organization.
