Idleness. jg .
There is too much idleness in this
country, lt is breeding vice und rru
ruoralit}'. It is filling our jails with
criminals. Crime bas been on the
gradual increase for six months.
This comes of idleness; and idleness
comes in a great measure of that
abominable idea that a white man
cannot be a gentleman and work.
He must get money, for that is indis?
pensable. But haw? That's it Young
men have not the disposition to work,
.nd by patient economy secure a
basia "for business operations. They
must have it now. This suggests ex?
pedients. These lead to temptation ;
and temptation leads to crime. Hence,
we have murders, horse thefts and
breaches of trust.
Why should a young mau consider
it degrading or even undignified to
work? President Johnson purchased
his present residence in East Ten?
nessee with the proceeds of his labor
as a tailor. One of the wealthiest
bankers in New York commenced the
-world as a gardener, selling to the
huckster the products of his own
labor. Gen. Pat. Cleburn, at ono
time the head of the Arkansas bur,
subsequently the ruling spirit in a
powerful army, began life as a day
laborer. Judge Reagan, Postmaster
General of the late Confederate
States, was once a wood-chopper on
the banks of the Mississippi. The
world is full of such examples. But
where can we point to a successful
man who spent his early youth in
hunting business which he considered
to be more genteel than manual labor?
Who has ever heard of a man suc?
ceeding who spent his early manhood
"waiting for something to turn up?"
Young man, if you would succeed,
go to work. If you cannot obtaiu a
clerkship, take something else. You
had better be rolling barrels, or plow?
ing, or building fence, or chopping
cord-wood, or carrying the hod, than
doiug nothing. Quit depending upon
your friends. Strike out for yourself.
Learn at onco the greatest of all les?
sons, that of self-reliance. Have a
head, a will, a purpose of your own.
Go to work and watch your opportu?
nity. The soil upon which you have
been reared never refuses a compe
tence to those who are willing to dig.
Then, if ycu can do no better, dig. Il
will pay to dig. Nor is there any?
thing undignified or vulgar in it. Il
is honorable, if you Aoose to make
it so. Thou dig aud watch your op
portunity. But don't stand idle, an?
"wait for something to turn np."
Condensation, says a contempc ry
is the new order of the day in new*
paper literature. The history wind
the world is making speaks to us b}
the hour in brief and pithy sentence;
aloug thc telegraph wire, whethei
through the air or nuder the almost
fathomless waters, and no old-fash
ioned modes of conducting news
papers can resist such a renovatioi
as this.
ROBBERY OF' DELEGATES AT PIULA
DEJLPUIA.-We regret to learn, sayi
the Charleston News, that his Hono
Judge Wardlaw was robbed of abou
8500, while getting on the train a
Philadelphia. Hon. J. B. Campbel
was also robbed, at the same time, o
a fine diamond breast-pin.
The famous province of Venetin
lately ceded by Austria to France, i
very well known to the world, bu
the space which it occupies on th
map of Europe is not so well known
Venetia contains 3,870,500 acres <
ground, and 2,493,968 inhabitants f

i Their Majesties,' the Emperor-of

Thcoppononts of tho Philadelphia
Convention continue to harp on the
exclusion of Messrs. Yallandigham
and Wood, as evidence that the South
ought net to have participated iu the
proceedings <>f that body. The fol?
lowing extract of a letter published
in the New York News, from John
Forsyth, delegate at large from Ala?
bama, throws sonic light on thc sub?
ject:
"I take the occasion to deny, with j
emphasis, the statement iu this '
morning's Herald, that Mr. Yallan?
digham was notified by the Southern j
delegations that if he did not quietly j
withdraw they would vole him out.
lt is impossible to conceive a more
odious and damaging imputation
upon Southern delegations than thia.
What! turn upon a man who had !
suffered imprisonment, persecution !
and exile, for sympathizing with our ?
sufferings and trials! If there was
one wretch so hearties', from the
South, I am happy to say I did not
and ueycr wish to know him. My
own views and sense of duty were
very eleni1, ami 1 believe they were
those, of every Southern gentleman !
in the Convention. It was, that wc j
could not, in personal honor or con- t
science, and with a due regard to the j
honor and conscience of our consti
tuents, vote to unseat a gentleman
whose right to ;i seat was patented to
him In the gallant Democracy of
Ohio, was as good as our own. and
whose only disability was that he was '
our friend iu trouble. Under thc
call for the Convention he had a clear I
right, for its theory was amnesty for |
the past and fidelity to a common
patriotic object in the future. Jt, was
upon this theory that we of thc
South were there, and it was foreign
to thc objects and fatal to the effects j
expected to be produced, to begin
thc work of peace and harmony by j
persecuting und punishing for past
political differences. I would not,
and could not, have remained an in
ahmt in that Convention if any
Northern delegate like Messrs. Yal?
landigham or Wood, properly ac
credited, had been unseated by vote. ;
lt was not the banquet to which we :
were invited, and we should have
gone home with the reflection that
the North is not yet ready for peace
and restoration. lint happily and
nobly, on their part, these gentle?
men saw thc rock and removed it out
of the path of harmonious action.
Thu Convention became a great suc?
cess, and Northern gentlemen tell inc :
it is doing groat good and working
well for the cause of re-union. 1
trust so for the common weal, for this :
has become a Northern ?us well as
Southern question. There is danger
that the disunion malady may become
chronic, aye and infections, and it
would be a singular spectacle to be?
hold thc North lay down its thousands
of millions cd' treasure and pour out
its blood in rivers to prevent tin
seceding South from breaking up the
empire of States, und then, being
victorious, to turn round and detuve
and perpetuate thc event they took
up arms to avoid. In truth, in thc
late war. both belligerents have so
far failed of their objects. The
South struck tor independence and
failed to attain it. The North armed
I and invoked her nationality to save
the Union, and, up to this time
fifteen months after every Confede?
rate arm has been grounded-she has
! failed in its attainment. The oppo
! nen ts of the Union in the South arti
beaten, sincerely accept the armed
; political solution and arc ready and
anxious to gather around the old
hearth, and. when permitted, to
. 'rally around the dag.' Al! we ask is
! fair play, fidelity to the principles
I upon which thc North appealed to
j arms h. the fact? of the world, and
I upon which we laid our - down, ?ind
I that when we d > conic in, wc enter
, by the broad stairway rind the front
! door to the temple of the Union,
\ with heads erect, in the consciousness
! Hutt wc have done nothing in all our
struggle, on land or water, to bring a
[ blush to thc cheek of American inan
! lc ?od. This done, and Von will
sundy find thc liest Confederate
lighters thc truest and braves! np
I holders of thc Constitution and the
i Union of the Slates. i Jut you had
I best In; wary of those who skulked,
j and now claim loyalty, when war

Since thc publication of the origi?

Secretary McCulloch, being ou a
recont visit to his native New Eng?
land, was invited to dine with the
solid men of Boston. The loiter fail?
ed to reach him till after his return
to Washington ; but on the 18th in?
stant he responded, showing why ho
could not accept, and speaking of thc
national finances as follows:
"Although it was hoped that ere
this tho currency of the country
yvould have been brought n?sarer to
the speeio standard, I am sure the
people have cause for congratulation
that our finances are in so healthy a
Condition as thev are.
"Since March, 1?G5, the war hat
been brought to a successful conclu?
sion ; immense armies have been dis
banded: every soldier has been paie
before being mustered out of th<
service; all maturing obligations ex
tho Government have been satisfae
torilv provided for, while tho na
tiona! debt is nearly $250,OOO,OUI
less than it was estimated it would bi
at the present time, and thc rcductioi
of it has averaged, for tho past vear
more than $10,000,000 per month
If no other-nation tiver rolled up :
debt so rapidly, none certainly eve
commenced the reduction of its del)
so soon after its creation. If our eui
roney is depreciated, wo have so fa
escaped tho financial troubles thu
usually occur among nations at th
close of expensive wara) and whic
there was reason to apprehend woul
happen to us at the termination c
thc great war in which wo have boo
engaged. If the business of th
country is conducted upon a chan j
ing and uncertain basis, it has bee
subjected to no severe revulsion:
Cf our Laxes are heavy, our resource
are almost, unlimited, while the di:
position of the people to bear checi
fully their burdens, is a surprise eve
to those who have tho greatest coal
dence in the honor and good faith (
a free people. In my opinion, tl
people of thc United States aro 1
make republicanism illustrious amor,
the nations by establishing tho fn
that thc securities of a republics
Government aro thc safest of all s
curitics, and that the people who ii:
pose taxes upon themselves are tl
most jealous ol'their national credi
1 do not, however, disguise the fa
that groat financial difficulties are st
to be overe?me; that our present pr.
perity is rather apparent than rei
that we are measuring values by
false standard; that we are, in fat
exposed to all the dangers which :
tend an i u tia ted and irredeemal
currency, which diminishes labor
the true source of national wealth
and stimulates speculations and ?
travaganee, which lead invariably
thrift lessness and dcmoralizutio
Before thc country becomes aga
really prosp?rons, the specie standa
must bc restored, prices reduced, i

the country increased, the balance

That thc country will bc again tl

Good New? for Uk? Hungry,
The Now York Journal of Com?
merce, of Monday, tho 20th instant,
publishes the following, which will
givo our readers some idea of the. in?
exhaustible fertility of the Western
country:
Within six weeks-that is to say,
by the 1st of October-will be har?
vested ono of tho largest corn crops
ever produced in the United States.
Nothing can look more luxuriant than
the fields of growing corn that cover
thousands of acre? in the vallie? of
tho Ohio and Missouri Rivers, where
one-half of the entire crop in thc
United States is produced. A writer
in ono of the Western papers calcu?
lates that, as a bushel of corn cou
tains sixty solid }>ounds of grain, the
crop of the current year, even if it
should not exceed 80,000 bushels, will
amount to 4,800,000,000 pounds of
grain, besides an equal weight in fod?
der. The value to the country of
such an aggregate of agricultural
wealth, springing from a single crop,
is not easily conceived. Though
wheat realizes a higher price pei
bushel in the market, its positiv?
I value as a life-sustaining product it
' much inferior to that of maize, since
! the former averages but little mon
? than one-third as much to the acre ir
I the quantity grown. The statistics o
tho production of com in tho Unitec
States for tho lust twenty-five yean
are as follows, viz:
Bushels.
? In 1840, total crop. 377,581,87
In 1830, total crop.. 5i)2,671,lO
I In lsflo, total crop .. .. 830,451,717
j lu 1SG?, total ? rup, (catim'ed). l,0:>:*,M?u,ou
The writer, whose calculations v><
have noticed, remarks upon titi
i showing us follows: "Tho increas
j being at the rate of four per cent, pe
annum, the aggregate crop of 1Kb
I will be over nue thousand million* rj
i bushels! Estimate this ?it sixty cent
' per bushel, and conceive, if you can
I the feeding power of this enormou
quantity of Indian corn."
No wonder that the farmers of th
West exult iu the prospects afforde
' by their luxuriant fields. They luiv
snreiy been disappointed, us no st;
plc of agriculture seems so we
adapted to resist the changes of on
climate, 'i nking the last twenty yeal
together, the average yield per act
in the "Buckeye State" is not ii
from thirty-three bushels. Com is
commodity which should not be di
spised.

TUE PRESIDENT'S POWE? OP RE?
MOVAL,.- "It is fortunate," writes
James Madison, "when disputed
theories can be decided by undisputed
facts." This sound and sensible
maxim was exactly followed anti ap?
plied by the late Chancellor Kent,
when Daniel Webster applied to him
for au opinion in regard to the Pre?
sident's power of removal from oflieo
without the consent of the Senate.
"It is too late," wrote the great
Chancellor, "to call the President's
power in question after a declaratory ^
Act of Congress and an acquiescence
of lialf a century. Wo shuuld hurt
the reputation of oin- country, and
ir--, are accused already of (he Repub
, Hean tendency of reducing all Execu?
tive j>ower tutu the legislative^ and
making Congress- a national Conven?
tion. These were the words of wis?
dom thirty years ago. Are they less
wise to-day, and in the face of the
open, undisguised efforts of the ra?
dical majority at Washington during
tho last session, to ruin tho reputation
of our country by making Congress
st! absolute and despotic "national
Convention?" There is not the
slightest roason for regarding the
President's control of his Executive
subordinates as a matter open to
question, and the audacious attempt
of a petty official at Philadelphia to
defy the Chief Magistrate should be
settled at once by a squad of police?
men. Any person pretending to ex?
ercise the fnnctions of an Executive
officer in defiance of tho orders of
the Exeeutive-in-Chief, is simply an
intruder upon thc office which he oc?
cupies, and to be thrust out of doors
as summarily as he would be from
the cashier's desk of a hunk which
he should usurp, or from tho box of
a stage-coach w hich he should under?
take to drive, after being ordered
down by the lawful proprietors.
