She drives to her office in the morning, looks after thc mul? titudinous affairs, and returns to hor elegant home at three o'clock In the afternoon. -A case came up before Internal Revenue Commissioner Delano on Monday, in which certain Western whiskey dealers had changed the dates on the stamps on about one hundred barrels of whiskey. The dealers contend that they did not do this to defraud the revenue, but with the view of making the whiskey ap? pear of greater age, and thereby enhance Us value. Tho commissioner, not deeming this an excuse sufficient to offset the law, which imposes a penalty of $200 on each package thus tampered with, ordered that the parties be prosecuted. -The New York Times says: "The fall trade is upon us with a brisk beginning and bright prospects. This is a cheery fact, and more than an offset, perhaps, for the anxiety and gloom which the Wall street storm has brought to monetary circles. Save the dry goods trade, whieh is affected through the price of j cotton by thc fluctuations of gold, no branch of business seems to have felt the financial flurry. The Southern trade Is reported as 'trebled' over 1866, and tho demand in various branches show that both the South and West are already taking a great many goods from our merchants. It rs noteworthy also that a better class of goods, In general, is called for at the South." ~ -Commentingupon Mr. Bigelow's withdraw? al from the Times, the Commercial Advertiser says: "Journalism fifteen years ago, when Mr. Bigelow waa tho master-spirit of the Post, is quite different from journalism of the present day. Newspapers were then In their small? clothes and editors were learning the journal? istic alphabet. It hos been ascertained that something beside solemn, -profound, and stately leaders are required to make a news? paper palatable to tho reader and profitable to the publisher. Mr. Bigelow is a dignified, conscientious and scholarly journalist, as every one admits, but Mr. B. has been too long out of the editorial harness and the management o? newspapers to make a successful editor-in chief." -The promise ol'a large supply of Chinese labor at no distant date makes any testimony as regards the capacities of emigrants from j the Flowery Kingdom for house service ex? ceedingly interesting. A. gentleman who re? sided for several years in Havana writes to the New Orleans Picayune a glowing account of his experience with a Chinese cook. This ser? vant not only prepared all his dishes in the most admirable manner, learning most readily everything new, and improving on almost everything he learned, but 'his peculiar care? fulness, delicacy and cleanliness made every? thing specially appetizing. He kept the house in order, attend?? to his master's clothes, and did general housework. When dinner was announced he was found at the head of the table, ready to wait upon the company, and no two wailers could have i>erformed the duties more satisfactorily. His cleanliness may be judged from the fact that he always dress-J in white down to his slippers, and no stain was ever noticed upon his clothing. But such servants must be rare even among China? men. The events of yesterday indicate that the ' truce patched np on trie ^ previous night will not secure shipmasters aud shipping agents from fresh differences and a renewal of their old embarrassments. As long as the colored longshoremen are swayed by the insidious counsels of white politicians and negro demagogues, they will not stick for long to any agreement or be bound by any bargain. We presume that the employers will now hire what hands they can obtain, without regard to the rules of the association. The wages to be paid for the work done must be arranged by the laborer and the person try whom he is engaged. No one else has anything to do with it, and we are confident that, by firmness and prudent arrangement, an end may speedily be put to what is now a very troublesome business.- The employ? ers must, however; be prepared to protect their laborers, whether white or colored, from the violence of the disappointed stri? kers. Without this nothing can be done. Tin Situation at tho South. Tiie South ought to be tolerably well known by this time. It has been very tho? roughly exploredk Its social and political condition lias been investigated and discuss? ed by Radical and Democrat, soldier and civilian, correspondent and carpet-bagger. Our States have been "guarded and regard? ed," like the famous"Matthew Byles, of revo? lution?r}' memory. They have been decom? posed and recomposed, analyzed and recon? structed. They have been subjected to every variety of military surveillance and rule, and of official manipulation. Where is the Southern country that has been untra versed by armies; the Southern plantation that has been unvisited by foragers; the Southern river that has not been blockaded and penetrated by gunboats; the Southern city that lias not been garrisoned by soldiers and despoiled by sat raps from abroad. How strange that such a region should still be a land of fable-as impenetrable to the sober light-of reality and experience as the blue mists of the Northwest Passage or the mocking mirages of Sahara. The outside world hos studied the South through a medium of prejudice. There ha3 been plenty of light; but the light itself is untrue when refracted and discolored-when seen through the ?pwfcwch? ot Mr?. Stowe or the chronic jaundice of Mr. Sumner. As to the testimony of natives-that has gone for nothing! The creations of romance, or the casual impressions of travel, have been esteemed as more trustworthy than the ob? servations of a life time. Quite recently two business men of Bos? ton, Messrs. Loring and Atkinson, have un? dertaken to obtain and disseminate authen? tic information in regard to the present status and future prospects of the South. Tiley have opened a corresi>ondence upon this subject with not less than two hun? dred Southern planters, brokers anti factors, and have published a pamphlet con? taining an abstract of this correspondence. It will be to the advantage of the South and of the country at large if evidence so unex? ceptionable, and gathered from so many sources, can secure a patient hearing. What we are to expect and what we are to do, can be decided upon with some degree of confidence so soon as the conditions of the social problem aro fairly set before us. In the midst of tiie general disturbance of the old social relations, three classes remain distinct. The first is the respectable white, tiie friend of the old order while that sur? vived, and when it perished the determined opponent of the Radicalism which sought to reconstruct society after an idea, and made the craziest experiments upon the self-re? spect of Hie people and the public prosper? ity. The second is the imported citizen, white or colored, whom personal advantage lured to a conquered and impoverished coun? try. This class consists of legislators to whom uegro equality was the engine for political advancement, or of speculators seeking profitable investments of capital, or of bona fide settlers, of adventurous spirit, who were invited southward by our fertile fields of enterprise. The third is the negro, to whom emancipation in some cases has been a benefit; bat to whom, as a race, it has been prejudicial-there being a general drift of the laboring population away from the plantations to squatter's farms, to cities and even to the woods, and also a sensible decrease of numbers through improvidence, neglect of thc young and the sick, and gen? eral irregularity of habit. The settled order of tiie new regime will arise when thc best of these last two classes combine with the first os the members or an Anti-Radical party. Thc precedent lias already been es? tablished in Virginia and Tennessee, and will be followed by theotherSouthern States. One of tiie most striking changes thal has taken place is observable in the depreciation of plantation?. Thc featest difficulties have been experienced ?.i the conduct of the pres? ent system of labor; where fields have bi on planted on shares the metayer does not look beyond thc year, but systematically neglects the repairs, drainage. &c, which prepare thc field and storehouse for the production and protection of future harvests. On the other hand, where wages are paid the hire liny: does not look beyond the week, or per? haps the day: his work is shiftless and slov? enly, and the pay received from time to time encourages desertions. Besides, there has been a diminution of laborers, arising from the withdrawal of women and boys and girls from thc field, and also from the increase in the number of squatters and loafers, who prey upon property In the cities and. stock in thc country, and devote their leisure to The Long Strike. politics in both. That so much has been dene by the Southern planter, under these disadvantages, is a most creditable and en? couraging circumstance. He lias had to ac? commodate himself to new conditions; he pays higher for provisions: he makes fewer bales to the hand; but luckily for him the hand does uot C03t so much and the bale brings more. Yet it is evident that it is advisable for the planter to contract thc range of Iiis in? dustry to smaller fields, that can bc more highly cultivated and more easily kept in order. A reduction in the number of farm laborers can also be provided for, as it is in the Valley of Virgtuiu, by a division of labor and au increase of agricultural appliances. We need in the settlements of the country a larger number of men who shall be devoted to certain specialties, and who can be employ? ed by the day or the week, as circumstances may require. We also need the introduction of a higher style of machiner}' than a single planter can command-gins, threshing ma I chines, cotton presses and thc like, which can accomplish all the work in each depart? ment which a whole community may re? quire. The extension of the system of co? operative stores into thc couutry would also be of great service. As the supplies formerly purchased in quantities at wholesale prices are more aud more distributed among the retail traders,' higher prices must be paid for food, clothing and all the necessaries of life, unless the planters by the co-operative sys? tem can renew their connections with the wholesale dealers. But ai these and the like needs revea' themselves, we have no fear but that our people can command the situation. The Glastonbury thorn whioh lias already blos? somed in the depth of winter, can endure without difficulty the milder frosts and rig? ors of the spring ! Another Ring of Carpet-Bagger*. It seems that the example of the carpet? bag government of our own State is not lost upon the Radicals who rule the roast in North Carolina. The present Governor and Treasurer of the old North State have form? ed a ring with sundry keen outsiders, und are nov.- in the New York market manipu? lating State bonds in a style that our own ring might well envy. The modus operandi is this: The ring men combine to put the bonds down as low us possible and then buy thom. As soon tis they buy them the price of the bonds is put as high as they can get it by combination, promise of pay fog the interest, ?fcc., and thou they sell out the bonds Which they bought at amere song. For example, they buy the bonds at forty cents on the dollar to-day; to-morrow or next day they manage to run the bonds up and sell out at fifty or fifty-two cents on the dollar. This margin in the sales of hun? dreds of thousands of dollars makes for? tunes for the ring. Of course the people of North Carolina have the privilege of pay? ing the piper, while the nice little game is going on. Tlteir taxes are nearly ten times what they were before the war. SOMEBODY lias suggested that Butler, bar named the Beast, instead of meddling with the Stowe-BjTon sensation, should address himself to the task of writing up "The True Story of Mre. SurrattT-a tule vi horror which he is in many respects well qualified to ventilate, aud which might prove almost as profitable a speculation as his famous operation in spoons. KNOCKING down the jailor is the standing order among the criminals in Barnwell jail. Our correspondent says that when a prison? er is tired of confinement, lie whacks "old Toby," the negro jailor, over the head and coolly makes his escape. SENATOR Sprague tells a New York Herald correspondent that he is going to Europe to investigate the subjects of labor and finance This, we suppose, is thc end of the Colum? bia canal project.
