COOPERATrVK STORKS UT 5BTV YORK.
Wo have, from time to time, lately spoken of
the great cooperative movement now in procreas
among the laboring class?e of Europe. In the
Northom part of the United States also considera?
ble attention has been given to the subject of late.
Every papor almost that comes to us from tho
large cities of the North contains notices relative
to the practical working of the system. Thus in
the New York fferaW of Sunday, August 25, we find
an account of several cooperativo stores that have
been established in that city within the past
month, and are now in working order. Besides
these, Bays tho Herald, many other kindred but
private associations of a similar nature have been
formed, and aro progressing ealtefactorily.
? Foremost among*'theee fresiUnorganized insu?
lations, may be described
'THE FIRST MANHATTAN COOPERATIVE GROCERY
STORE
lias been established under the act-of the Legisla?
ture to regulate such institutions, and' starts .with
a capital of $5000, divided into shares of $5 each.
The principles of this atore arc o supply its mem?
bers with groceries, provisions, wood and coal of
good quality and of just weight and measure at a
fair advance oh first cost, and from the profits of
tho business to pay a quarterly dividend in propor?
tion to each members trade with the store. It
will bo suen from this preamble that apart
from all other considerations-such as the small?
er cost of goods, by getting them nearly at
wholesale rates-each, member of the association
receives profit in direct proportion to his pur?
chases, and thus bis very expenses ve might say,
redound to his credit Besides' this, the directors
agree to allow eight per cent per* annum interest
on overv fully paid up share, to commence fifteen
days after the store - opens tot business. 1 ?The
officers of tho Finit ' Manhattan-co-operative gro?
cery store are a president, vice president, secre?
tary, treasurer, three trustees, nine directors, a
superintendent and a buyer. All these officers
have furnished bonds to the amount of $14,000, in
order that tho society can have claim on them
should they abuse the trust reposed in them; and,
judging by the details of tho working of the store,
tho buyer has the most, onerous position, as ho
has to make all the pur oh ases of goods required
for keeping the store supplied, and has to guard
ojgainst all the innumerable chicanery and "tricks
of trade," so that the members shall have bona
fide good articles tar their 'mosey, }f '\
The preliminary meeting for the organization of
this movement vus held on the 4th of June last,
and now it may bs said to be firmly established.
The capital wanted to commence business on
($2500} has been fully paid UD and ^posited in
banx7 whue the second instalment' of $2500 re?
quired under the articles'of association has also
boon nearly completed.* The officers are all ap?
pointed, apd appear to bo well selected. The tato
of the store bas alreaqV been fixed-between the
Sixteenth and t went.eth Wards, adjacent to Sev?
enth and Ninth avenues, and located in Twenty
sixth street. All appears, therefore, to be well
with tho First Manhattan Cooperative Grocery
Store, and it is to be hoped, for the furtherance
of the cooperativo principle anti .pohey among
our mechanics . and artisans, that it will have a
pro sp rous career.
THE MANHATTAN COOPERATIVE MJSDJXD BUILDING
. j - ASBO?ATIO? . f'i A
is another of these irstitutions, which goos on a
more extensive scale than the former, involving a
greater amount of capital and intending to allow
and enable.each of its members to "bsooiae hifc
own landlord. " ' Instead of haviag A ' c?rtate Sied
number pf shares, as tho former association, the
funds of this bunding society can be increased at
the will of the members or shareholders, until a'
large amount of capital anal J. hayo accumulated..
Each member mis to pay an ?ntranos fep of dft*
cents"on every share taken by bim, and in addi?
tion a weekly subscription of fifty cents per
share. As soon AS the funds of the society shall
have accumulated to the amount of $1000 there
mall be an appropriation made for that sum to
the member who shall either have bought
mob right of appropriation or shall bo en?
titled to it in his regular turu, according to
the time and order of rotation of his standing on
the books ct the society. Por instance, the work?
ing of the co-operators1 plan can bo thus explain?
ed : John Brown is one of the first members that
joins the building association; hie has paid an enr
trance fee of fifty cantB, and ? weekly subscription
of fifty cents ever since hs joined the society,
which is composed say of twoTjuxidrod members,
at the end of nine weeks it will be found, by the
^cumulation of the entrance fees and weekly pay*
menta of these two hundred members, that the
building society possesses $1000, and then John
Brown, by reason of his being the first member,
jr on account of hie paving twenty douais for the
privilege, is voted au ?appropriation ' f $1000 to
mable nim ie purchase tr build "a and this
Lmount pf itlOOO and intercut ia occured tv Uip

POLITICS IS?THE MIL TH.
$?r. SWINTON, of the New'York ZYmes, lately ro
urned fron? an extensive tour through the South,
pres the JDilowiqg summary pf pubbc opinion in
hese States :
The Southern wb it CB may be divided on tho
]ucstion of reconstruction into three classes :
1. Those who reject reconstruction on prinoipie.
2. Thoso who accopt reconstruction on principle.
3. Thoe#J who eather accept or,reject raconstrac?
ion sans principle.
The first class embraces a large part of the ablest
nen of the South, including many politicians, law?
lers and old-time " aristocrats.* They were State
?overeignty men and believers in the right of se
sessiqn. Any number of them were not in favor
>f secession, and, on the "contrary, thought it a
iront political blunder ; but, .nevertheless, be
ieved m tbs right of secession.
They now wish restoration on the old basis, with
.he exception, of course, of Slavery. While
Jae States are exohided, they are HU willing to con?
sider any conditions. Tbev rejected the Constitu
.ional Amendment. They hold the doctrine that,
vithout the limitations imposed on tho Central
jovornment by State rights, it runs inevitably
n.to despotism. Those ot thom who register
md most of thom thal can"will-will do so for the
Durpose of voting ?gain?t a Cou ve nt ion.
Thar say that should tho Southern whites vote
?or a Convention, that, wculd.be to Acquiesce in
vhat is done, and that no m a'ter what might be
-ho result they would be powerless-the very doc
;rine of State rights would bo quoted against
?hem, but if t hoy .stand aloof, fix c-y, the "body
DO)i tic propor," pnt themselves m sn attitude of
Hotest against this thing, and when the ruin of
;he present system comes about, legislation may
innul what legislation has enacted. They Bay
hat even if in other respects they could accept
he terms of Congress, their honor engages them
?o stand by their feUow^citizens whom Congress
iss deprived of their political privileges-they will
mt, to benefit themselves, aid in proscribing men
Tho were no worse rob?is than they.
Many of them declaro they are willing to see the
3resent system have? fair and generous trial, but
ney are perfectly convinced it must break down.
They ali anticipate a war of rapes-a oonfliot in
ivhich whites and blacks will end bv invoking Bomo
:nilitory mt? tu como in and save them from each
ether's fury.'. - 'I hoy believe that already liberty in
the United States is dead.
The sojond class is a very interesting one. They
ire much more numerous than the casual observer
would conceive. In the main, they held, before
the war the game political creed as the first-class ;
but the war educated them. They havo come to
accept the American idea, They illustrate the doc?
trine of political regeneration, and whereas, before
they were blind, now they Bee. Their very adhe?
sion in former times to tho doctrine of secession
and State sovereignty inclines them to tho position
that their States are ic the condition of conquered
territories, subject to treatment under international
law and the ? ul of tho conqueror. A good many
think Congress is rather bard on thom ; but tuey
are willing to take the best they eau get. Some of
them, since the final rigorous definition of the
??lutary Bill by Congress, waver a little, but they
viii end by accepting the situation.
lu this elans we are to include hundrods ot
thousands of soldiers, sensible, practical men, tho
hope of tho South, It also numbers a good many
whom the little experiment of tho Contederacv
(whose real history, when written, will astonish
the world,) first taught a realizing sonso of tho
benefits of the Union.
Thc only drawback to the efficiency of this class
is a certain amount of social and conventional
timidity, which causes them to withhold the
thought that js in them. But this is for the mo?
ment merely. They aro essentially men of inde?
pendence, and will make themselves felt at the
proper time.
Tho third class is of course by fir the most
numerous. It includes most of tho nineteen
twentietjhs of tho Southern population who never
owned a slave. A large proportion of thom can
neither read nor write.
These people, whether they favor reconstruction
or reject it, do so without principle. Whore, from
ono circumstance or another, they still como under
tho influence of their old political leaders, they
reject reconstruction. Otherwise, thoy acquiesce,
as do most men in what they regard as tho in?
evitable. But as in tho mass of mankind the sell
regarding principle rules supreme, this class tonds
to become more and more detached from its old
political leaders, for they per?oive that these can
now do nothing for them, whereas they believe
they have something to gain by siding with the
republicans. Many fancy that the triumph of the
Radicals will secure land to thc landless.
This class, notwithstanding life-long bitter pre?
judices against the bLeks. seems to affiliate readily
enough politically with tue negro element.
IS THIS CONTROVERSY TO BE
ENDLESS ?
A recent number of the Richmond Whig hap the
following common sense admonition :
It is the nature of man to acquire as much
power aa possible, and to part with none that he
can retain. He disputes every inch of ground,
and only surrenders when superior foroe is brought
to bear upon him. In civil society his recourse is
to courts, and a litigous man will spend his last
shilling to fee his lawyer and defray the expenses
of litigation. When he gets his blood up he will
carry ins case from the lowest to the highest
court, no matter how small the amount involved
may be, and when he reaches the court of last re?
sort and hears the decision pronounced against
him. he is even more discontented than he was in
the beginning. The case has but one side in his
eyes, and that is his side. In nine cases out of
ten he is animated by the desire to have his own
way, which' Bettles down in an inappeasable spite,
which he persuaden himself is principle. He
would, if allowed, go bock to the beginning and
have it L'A over again, neglecting his business and
spending his life in ite prosecution. But the law
interposes and protects him from his own folly and
bis blind passion by bringing to bear upon him
that old and benign maxim, "There must bo on
end of strife." Ho hos got to tho end of hie tether,
and must, of necessity, Bubmit,
It is this Barne disposition to enforce their will
j and to dominate others that impels men to engage
1 in war- that ultima ratio region. There can be
but one of two results from resort to this, the su?
preme court of nations-victory or defeat. Vic?
tory carries with it dominant)-, defeat imposes
submission. Here, too, in this high court of na?
tions the maxim is that "there must be an end of
strife.''
We of the South, after yes-rs of angry controver?
sy, chose to submit the questions between us
and the North to the arbitrament of arms, and
we lost our canse. The decision was pronounced
against us. Shall we refuse to submit in gool
faith ? Sholl there be an end of strife ? Or
sholl we endeavor to keep open the question that
has been settled against us, and thus perpet?ate
strife ?
If we decide to do tho latter let us be candid
abd manly enough to acquit the Government of
all obligations to exhibit clemency and kindness
toward us. Let us renounce all claim to protec?
tion, -to property, to franchises and privileges,
and. like desperate men,jwooloim ourselves in ..?.?
condition of outlawry. The only claim we con
have must arise out. of obedience, submission and
?orderly deportment. We may frome all sorts
subtle arguments in our attempts to evade' the
incidente of our defeat, but they will tail to con?
vince those who defeated us, It is an easy thing to
convince ourselves, because we wont to be so con?
vinced, but what good con that do ? The party
to bo convinced and satisfied is the porty that has
the power-our conqueror. Our defeat and sur?
render were, both military and political, And, for
our port, we hove resolved to fulfill the terms of
that surrender, os expressed and os implied, in
letter and in spirit. We ore for reconstruction,
peace and the Union, Those who ore not, and who
desperately resolve that they will be o low unto
themselves, witt hove to toke the consequences of
their own imprudence.

crops ol' thia section have boen materially injured
by the late heavy rains. Many large planters com?
plain that thev will not make more than half crops.
Tho citetpillars havo only made their appearance
in a few places and ie 'small numbers; but the
fleldp, which only a fow wooka ago promised obun
daiit yields, oro red and dying with rust.
[Maaison (Fla,) Messenger, 23d inst.
Messrs, Brigham, Holst 4 Co, have received a
halo of new cotton. It was grown on tho planta?
tion of L. It. Bostick, Esq,, Farachuola, S. C., and
ia f.f very good quality, and clean.
Three bales of cotton of this yoar's crop have
bacn rocoivo 1 from Quitman, No. 16, Brooks
county, from E. W. Stephens and H. Pad?ett, con?
signed to A, Dutonhotf-T & Co., and Clark, Jones
& Co., tho first new cotton recoived from the line
of tho Atlantic and Gulf Railroad.
cavannah News, 28?/?.
A gontleman from Forsyth, Ga., who tra roled
tho wagon road throngh the counties of Houston,
Dooly, Worth, Mitchell and Decatur, gives us a
very gloomy report of tho cotton crop in the two
first named cquntics. Ho says the cotton fields be
saw wero flooded by thc recoat incessant raina, and
the cotton destroyed. Many of the streams were
impassable, compelling him to seek a route around
them.
The crops in the other three counties wore not so
much affected by the rains-thoso in Mitchell and
Decatur especially. Wo have made dilligent in?
quiries about tho'crops in tliiscounty, audit seems
to be generally conceded that the rains, caterpillar
and boll-worm will surely cut off tho cotton viold
one-half. This, from the b*st information wo have
b^en ablo to gather, is o reliable statement. Sugar
cano, field peas and potatoes are very fine.-Bain?
bridge Georgi tn, Aug. Mik,
Thc caterpillar, of whioh so much apprehension
esistod, is notv in almost every portion of the
conn* rv, but, BO far, has done but little damage to
the cotton. However, it is foared by many thot
the early and general appearance of this destruc?
tive insect will shorten our already slim prospects
tor an ordinary crop ol' this staple.
