Tne Tribune on southern Relief.-r
[From the Kew York Tribune.]
"BOOT, HOG-, OH DXBlM
Thia ia not what yon would call an elegant
extract; but it is sturdy," ruggedAnglo-Baxon,
and perfectly intelligible. It is the role which,
we insist, most be applied to the relief of
Southern distress. In 18o5, the planting sea?
son was quite past in the further South when
the war closed, s? that tull crops could not be
made. In 1866, there was a pervading, terrible
drouth, which,, in connection with shallow
ploughing, ?a;k of fertilizing, and inadeqnat?
cultivation, rendered the harvest;-of cereals
especially-a sad failure. Last winter and
spring, there were devastating rams and floods
in the Atlantic, as well as the Gulf States,
which so delayed planting that the worm struck
the cotton when half matured, and reduced tho
product materially; add to which, tbe price has
fallen from forty-five to fifteen cents per pound
within a year or so. The corn crop was pretty
good in the average-that is, good for that re?
gion-ind the Sooth, is now exporting thia,
staple, whereas, she used to import largely of
it in her great planting uays.
Yet the cry of distress again rises from very
large sections of the cotton region. "The nig?
gers won't work-they aro stealing, and getting
shot therefor," say one set of advices; "The
planters can't or don't pay what they promised,
and are turning off their hands to starve," say
r another. And hereupon arise clam? rs for re?
lief-for tax remissions, loans, gratuities, etc.,
?o. Many are talking as though Congress car?
ried the purse of Fortunatas, and could pour
ont gold (or greenbacks) ad bottom.
We protest against its attempting to do any?
thing of the sort. . It cannot feed several mil?
lions of people; if it could, it would thereby do
tar less good than harm. What Congress can and
must do is to secure to every one his inalien?
able right to Uve and labor, and protect him in
the possession and enjoyment ol whatever he
produces or earns. That done, let it answer
every application for relief in the spirit of that
stern injunction-" BOOT, HOG, OB Dre I"
Doubtless, there is truth in the oomplaint
on one side that "the niggers wont work,"
and on the other that the old planting aria to?
ora ny are neither able or disposed to pay fairly
for blaok labor. For, 1. "The niggers" don't 11
like work any better than whites do-have
been taught by slavery to associate it with
degradation-are naturally indolent and im
S-ovident-and have been led (more by rebel
brication than otherwise) to expect that they
were'somehow to be subsisted even though
they did not work. We do not believe that a
majority of them have been thus misled, but i
so many have that such futile expectations are 1
a present mischief and peril Then the ex- t
slaveholders and their clan esteem paying 1
"niggers" for work an absurdity and wrong
-utterly subversive of tho "resolutions of t
"98." Payment for slaves they quite Compre- t
bend; payment for work to slaves-or those i
who would have stall been such but for "the 3
Abolition despotism" and its most nnoonstitn- (
tiona! "invasion" of and "war on the South," (
they don't begin to see through; and they c
never wilL Hence, they are always scheming ]
to reduce the wages of blacks belo,v the cost t
of their subsistence-and they always will be. (
Plainly and Simply, the plantation economy i
is breaking down. It is utterly unadapted to i
free labor. The new wine may be put into old t
bottles, but it will not stay there. The exper- i
rment has resulted in disaster.
We have conversed with many Northern men
who have, within the last three or four years,
conducted industrial operations at the Sonth
cutting timber, opening and working mines,
and growing cotton. Mot one of these, when
asked, "Had (or have) yon any difficulty in
p roc tiring all the labor you wanted when you
wanted it ?"-has failed to answer, "Not the
least, provided we had cash in hand to pay for
it." Men were working for a dollar per day
(not restricted to eight hours, by any means)
in Virginia last May, when less efficient labor
was bringing from $1.50 up to $2 and over per
day throughout the States north of the Poto?
mac and uhio. Blacks were hired at $8 per
month and rations (making the net cost of
their labor about fifty cents per day's work) to
grow vegetables on the Sea Islands of South
Carolina, when as efficient labor conld not be
obtained by our market gardeners for $1.50
per day.
Yet the planting system is nevertheless a
failure. The planters cannot promptly pay
their hands; so they fail to satisfy and retain
them. Woiking the land on shares has-partly
owing to the enormous fall of cotton-only
plunged both planter and laborer into still
deeper embarrassment. So, very few contracts
have, as yet, besn made f Dr this year's labor;
and these' at wages which will barely support
existence. We doubt whether half so much
cotton will be produced in 1868 as was in 1867.
"So the niggers steal." Yes, they do-at I i
leant some of them. Almost every slave was a | p
pilferer. He argued that he ought to enjoy
some portion of the good things produced by
his labor, so he took them whenever he sup?
posed he could escape detection. There were
slaves too pious to steal; but there were many
more who prayed and stole alternately, and
considered the stealing (from their masters) i
about as righteous as the praying. And many t
of these will steal now rattier than starve. 1
Hence, many get lynched; hunted down, shot;
while absurd bugaboos of ''negro insurrec?
tions," "negro conspirap.es," <tc., heat the
telegraphic wires. Where these have any sha?
dow of foundation, they are generally based on
lawless raids in quest of food.
We look the crisis full in the face, without
the faintest desire to belittle it. We seek not
to lay the blame wholly on one class nor an?
other. The demon of slavery is rending his
victim preparatory to going out of him. We
proclaim that the South is wretchedly poor,
and that many of her people are now or soon
will be suffering for want of food; and still we
Bay, ''Boot, Hog, or Die 1" Such is tho dictate
of experience, of common sense, of true philan?
thropy. Reconstruct the lately Bebel States so
fast as may be ; repeal the cotton tax if it can
possibly be spared; sternly enforce the reign
of equal rights and equal laws; but let there be
no attempt to mitigate tne existing or the
prospective distress by national contributions
far the relief the sufferers. That course would
only perpetuate the evils it is designed to cure.
To lend the planters oublie money-even if we
had it to lend-would only protract the sway of
a ayBtem which has survived whatever useful?
ness it ever had; while it would excite expecta?
tions winch could not possibly be realized.
Where one sufferer would be relieved by it,
forty would await relief frcin it only to be dis?
appointed, and would neglect or miss opportu?
nities to earn ut least food, because or such | ll
futile expectations. The best that the nation
can do is to say promptly, peremptorily, con?
clusively, to the South-to whites and blacks
alike-"Boot, Hog, or Die!"
A REPLY.
[Prom the Sew York Journal of Commerce.]
"The best that the nation can do is to say
promptly, peremptorily, conclusively, to th?
South-to whites and blacks alike-Root, Hog,
or Die." The nation, thus advised, has thrown
a network of military organization over the
entire South; has taken away from the people
by the strong arm nearly every vestige ol civil
government; and has interfered with armed
force in the relations or employer and work?
men, and regulated every such contract by its
own tribunals, even prescribing tho rate ot
wages and method of payment m the most ar?
bitrary fashion. However wiso all this may
have seemed at the outset, if tho result is fail?
ure and famine, it will not do to turn in such
a brutal fashion upon the suffering victims
aven though they deserved no higher freedom,'
and taunt them with results they were power?
less to avoid. Ii the brother man, thus ad?
dressed, is worthy of no more consideration
than the brute, let us at least show bim the
kindness we show to the dumb animals around
ns, and take 'Le ring from bis nose before we
turn him adrift to root or cie ! Does the Tri
bune editor realize what-wconlprehended ia
those three simple letters hh h?'ftopantij pre?
sents as the dread allernaoive of succewfiil

wealth can buy him, ? .riotronTi'a reprieve; will

A BEJIABEABLE IN ST AS CB OF YOUTHFUL DE
PBAVTTT-A BOT TWELVE YE ABS OI^MUBDEBS
HIS FATHXB.-Driring the month of April last,
one Edmund Fraser, a negro boy, while in the
woods of Clarendon Distict, killed his father
under the most aggravating circumstanoea."
He was arrested, tried-an i'sentenced to be ex?
ecuted. The jury, n'gwever,' recommended the
prisoner to Executive clenency, and in view of
his extreme youth, the Goveroor commuted
the punishment to imprif onment at hard labor
in the penitentiary for Iii 3. The following are
the reasons given by Bi.' Excellency for exer?
cising this mercy:
S tato os. Edmund Fr s ser, freedman-Mur?
der- Before Judge MOBBE - Clarendon District
-Fall Term, 1867.-Tbs prisoner, Edmund
Fraser, was a colored hov, tried at Clarendon,
Fall Term, 1867, before Judge Moses, for the
murder ot Carolina Fraser, his father. He was
convicted and sentenced to be executed e n the
fourth Priday iu January, 1868. The jury rec?
ommended the prisoner to Executive clemen?
cy. He is represented to.,be'.'a boy of good
face, between twelve aid thirteen years of
age," but tho circumstances of the case indi?
cate a depravity rarely to be met with in a per?
son of such tender years.
The prisoner and his younger brother, Fred?
erick Fraser, a boy of et)ven years of at;e, left
the home of their father. Carolina, and mother,'
Mols ey Fraser, o-i Sunday afternoon, in April
last, taking with him t, double-barrelled snot
gun, belonging to the father. They stayed at
the house of a neighbor .hat night. About sui
up the next morning, -.he father left. home,
without staling whither he was going; but as
the boys had gone off a .id taken his gun with?
out permission, it is piobable that he was in
pursuit of them. He stilted to his wife that he
would return to breakf&it. '
The younger brothel-, Frederick, in his ex?
amination, states that they had started home
on Monday morning, when they met their fath?
er. He proposed to nie prisoner that they
should run. The prisoner said "Nor" he would
not run. The father hada switch in his hand,
and when he came up vi thin about thirty feet
of the boys, the prisoner, according to the tes?
timony of bis brother, raised the gun, cocked
it, fired upon his father, and kihee) him instant?
ly. They then dragged tho body by the feet a
distance of some -fifty yards fi om the path m
which he had been murdered, and the prisoner
took some bark from aa adjoining stump and
covered the body. He chen nid the gun under
the side of a log, and the two boys went on
borne. When they reached home, the mother
inquired if they had seen their father. Both
of them declared they 1 ad not. Wben she in?
quired where tho gnu vas, they replied that "a
white man had took it from them." The gun
dad been loaded a day or two before to shoot
crows. The boys ate their meals aa usual, and
?xhibited no excitement or concern.
> Some ten days afterwards the body was found
n a state of great d .'composition. The evi
lence of the younger boy was fully confirmed
oy witnesses who went to the spot where the
uorder was committed, and traced the path
dong which the body bad been dragged. The
lark was also found ujon the body as describ?
id by tbe younger brother, and the gun was
bund under the log.
The deliberation exhibited by the prisoner,
ind the concealment and self-possession sub?
sequently, shows a depravity and hoartleusness
?arely, if ever, equalled in this country; and
ret, m consideration of the very tender years
if the boy, who is now less than "thirteen years .
>f age, and that under the law he is baroly re- I 1
iponsible for any criminal act which he might
perp?trate, I have bee i constrained, from con
liderations of humanity, to spare his life. In
loing so, however, I have felt that such au
itrocious crime should be visited by a punish
nent second only to that of death, and I have
h ere fore commuted the death pen alt: to im
irisonment for life a' hard labor in the peni
entiary. JAMES L. OBB,
