MANNING TIMES. Ope Letter From Dr. Easterling on the Political Situation. oT my Political Friends--Gentle When, by order of President 4narew Jackson, the public money removed from the Bank of the xted States in 1833, that bank was thereby forced to contract its loans, resulted in commercial pres sure and scarcity of money. The statement proves that any sud n- interference with the fountain of must not only stagnate the ource, but also its minor streams. since a very vast amount of uthemn wealth was destroyed at one Ael swoo. by our national govern t, can any one be surprised at the unhappy pecuniary state of in the South and elsewhere? Suppose the same amount of North rn property had also been destroyed, ould not our national poverty have twice as great as it is? Let us wcol down and look at facts as they ea~y are. Suppose our confiscated roperty had been turned into good pinOMy apd- handed to us, would we iot have stood upon as solid a 'undaion as that of the North? tell me that the war, the tariff, 6 ud monopolists were the sole causes 1dthis wholesale poverty in our land. these causes acted as blighting I do not doubt for one mo I am even willing to grant the, tariff is potent enough to us just where we are, though I from admitting that it, with a6ther a96tants, could have put us or present deplorable condition. country had been through three and the North and South, de pikof wars, tariffs, and monopolists, t onlyrecovered, but they also pre seived their wealth in proportion to population. The wars alluded are the Revolutionary, that of hteen hundred and twelve; and Mexican. The public money had been removed by order of nt Jackson, having been in certain local banks, paper became so plentiful that ruin ulations were very recklessly which spread like fire turned itaprairie. This money which .been taken from the Bank of the d States and put in these local became the foundation of high cheap paper money, and spec The government, in self-de was forced to interfere in be of an honest specie circulation, 'it might wind up this expanded speculation, and also demand and silver in payment of dues on lands. The local banks of contracted their paper circula as the government -demanded and silver instead of their cheap . Another sudden disastrous pion of business followed, wnihias somewhat relieved by the atment of just such a sub-treasury -bil'as our country needs to-day. We ad een through two wars, and were ~sroned by tariffs and monopo is and yet the North recovered South having scarcely felt the )and her wealth and prosperity course of time became as gen as it formerly was. :Z2ars, tariffs, and monopolists are us foes, indeed. But when a vernment lays her hand upon the of a conquered people, and y scatters it to the four winds, nhaame of misguided philantbro wegaze with wonder and amaze - at-the catastrophe, as we point ~thy-prime cause of Southern pov I write in no spirit of comn against our government at this da ., but I am not such a slave as from using the unanswera ument against Democrats los o4g acifidence in each other. SFriendls and foes must alike admit * ther.~permanent destruction of ~will inevitably entail a more - sting poverty upon a people than Semr .suspension. With only ~and personal property left to the people, they were forced to 'esort to liens and mortgages. They ,~-logoverned by unprincipled 1rdia knaves and fools, who taxed nes of the Southern States, efitered in the presence of strife-rn hyenas. Northerd were our friends; North publicans were not our ene ies. The one rejoiced and assisted inour liberation; the other had no tears toshed- over it. Let us allow den1ats, 'uttered by the voice of reason, im:toprelaui the true cause of our pov erty. -Let us never forget tbat politi e'-al education which results in party Sspirit between Democrats, is sadly ntinig in Democratic harmony. Many have been the efforts to break s-p the Democratic party, but it will ~etierprove a fortress too strong for snesflattack Its spirit is purity -its commander is patriotism, and Sits soldiers are Democrats. We will, as did Jefferson, Calhoun, McDuffie, Kand .Hayne, defy its enemies. Let them do their worst; we will forever -act tog'ether, as a band ot political ~brothers. As a national party its great heart beats in unison with those ~of all honorable and patriotic men. Had our government gradually with Arawn the basis of Southern agricul - tare. our national poverty would be -..to-day just what it was (in proportion ~to our population) before the unhap py and, unfortunate conflict between the South and the North. But by this sudden overthrow of our agricul tural basis the South, in her utter Shelplessness, was forced to turn her attention to manufacturing and other internal pursuits. What a pity ! This ~rivalship between the two great sec tions of our country could and should have been prevented by such legisla tion alone as would have led to quite ~different pursuits on the part of each, for ithe mutual benefit of both. SThe North and the South should ~nok be arrayed as competitors against eahother in such vocations as de znaml tariff laws, because the tariff encdget will be sure to be made heav ier and stronger when the future tariff detmand of the South shall have been added to that of the North. Men are jbut men, and they will pursue their 2best~pecuniary interests just as natur taily as they breathe the vital air. No matter how much they might ht Seachu- ther because of such rivalry, -they will (from what they may regard ailecessity) agree upon a tariff law as naturally as the South abhors it to promise to protect the masses, which is known as a revenue tariff; yes, and d Lhese tariff vocations would, like an inflated cheap currency, be inundated with cheap labor at the expense of It others that would have to contract, t because not backed by a tariff law. Even where labor is scarce a tariff vo- I cation would overrule the agricultu- v ral, because the one is protected by J law and the other not. Free trade alone can make these internal iu- c provement banks contract so as to put 1 all vocations upon the same footing. t Free trade is but the pioneer of reci- d procity. Let the country sleep upon c her quiet, spotless, and undisturbed r bosom, and then so equally will labor t be distributed amongst the different 1 vocations in life that our business, symmetry would not only be beauti- i ful to behold, but our people would become so happy and contented that I they would not only worship so just r and honest a government, but they d would also bless with their happy t hearts the men who had the patriot ism to set them at liberty. Free trade would also ensure an economical gov ernment (with the addition of direct taxation), as the people would then see every dollar which is now hid by the protective tariff. Right here II would digress, and applaud that inde pendency of character which would T yield to an after conscientious con viction, rather than adhere to a for mer error. This rivalship thus commenced be- t tween the two sections within the same circle of business, is not only destined to engender strife, jealousy, envy, and enmity, but must also in crease the array of labor against cap ital in proportion as the South ad- E vances successfully on the line of in ternal improvements. The North is to-day feeling the weight. of labor against capital, because of her having pushed internal -improvements too far ahead of other vocations within her midst. Hence her people combine r against each other-labor against cap- I ital. Every man taken from any one vocation, to its injury, and added to t another that already more than doub ly preponderates, produces dissatis faction in the one instance, and jeal ousy in the other. Upon such foun dations combinations are erected against capital. Though internal improvements are at their infancy in the South, they have produced quite t dissatisfaction enough (by arraying labor against capital); for the basis of t such combinations as are alarming, indeed. Now, when the South shall N have pushed internal improvements e to the same extent that the North has i (I fear the country cannot stand 'the c pressure), these United States of i America will then feel the need of her 1 Calhoun and Clay. When labor N raises its angry head against capital, i the duty. of every patriotic man is to quiet and to soothe, rather than to add fury to the storm, that our coun- 1 try may never have cause to say of i any one of her children "Led like a victim, to my death I'll go, And dying, bless the handothat gave the blow."

Jones Killed a Yankee Soldier and Defied His Pursuers. EDITOR MANNING fD1EP':--Lieuten ant Charles H. Jones, of Sumter, who died recently, needs at our hand more than the usual notice. Charley Jones, as he was familiarly known, was rais ed in Sumter county, and lived in the town of Sumter most of his life after early manhood. He married Miss Lizzie David about the year 1852, and raised a Jarge family of children. In the early days of the late war Charley entered the service of his country by joining Capt. Webb's company of the 7th Cavalry Regiment of S. C. V., and by pluck and energy equaled by very few men of his day, won the rank of lieutenant in his company. Charley was known throughout the regiment, and was alway s desired by superior officers when any daring expedition was to be carried out. In April, 1865, Lieut. Jones, with a detachment of his company, was sent to our town to look after the raid of General Potter. Arriving here in the morning, and being tired and hun gry, he dismounted his squad, hitched his horses under the shed in the rear of the old hotel, then owned by Capt. Jos. H. Stukes, and told i; men to get something to eat as best they could. Having been told by a reliable scout that Potter was some distance away, lie and Mr. WX. A. Brunson, of Darlington county, went to the house of Mr. XW. J. Norris, and while the good lady was preparing4 for them something to eat, the alarm was made, "The Yankees are at the gate !" Instead of running to the rear, as some would have done, they ran to the front. Jacob Ballard (col'd) was seen riding in the midst of the yan kees on Jones's horse. Jones at once took in the situation and made for his horse, the yankees crying out "Surrender! surrender !" As Jake went off the horse on one side Jones mounted from the other, and said, "'ll show you how to surrender,"' and as he balanced himself on his horse he took deliberate aim at the nearest yankee to him, and shoct him dead from his horse, caught hold of the reius of the bridle, and leading the horse of the dead yankee rode off with him, turning in his saddle and firing back upon themi as they chased him in his retreat. The yankees ust d their carbines freely, and a perfect shower of shot followed Jones up) the street. After crossing the branch near Mr. Cl1ke's pla .Tone stonnpel 2 the road with his empty pistol and efied the yankees, and they werc fraid to follow him any fart'her. Not seeing his horse Brunson rai o the rear andi made his escapi brough the garden. I was on the street in front of the 'resbyterian church at the time, an( vas an eye-witness to the killing b: ones as just described. Feeling thai prudence was the better part of val r," I passed through the field to th< ranch ahead of Mr. Brunson, ani ook him up and kept him for severa ays, until the immediate trouble wa ver. Jones, after going a few miles eturned and patroled the town ani hat night discovered the number o >otter's raiders, and reported same t( umter before daylight the next morn ncy One by one of the old soldiers ar assing away. No truer or brave aan than Lieut. C. H. Jones eve rew a sword in defense of his coun ry. Peace be to his ashes. DAN'L J. BRADUAM. HOUSEHOLD NOTES. MRS. S. A. XETTLES. A DANGEROUs FoE.-Selfishness is i aore dangerous foe to family concori han even irritability. It takes, amon, arious forms, those of self-indul ence, self-assertion, love of domina ion, jealousy. Parents cannot be to< uick to see tendencies to these vice n their children, and to apply suel :ounter influences as shall preven he destruction of domestic harmony JIany children, by parental indul ence, are made selfish and exacting bat under a different regimen migh levelop self-sacrifice, generosity, ani tobility of disposition. Indulging i hild in his whims, his moods, hi! orbid desires, is not the way t< aake him a ministrant to the harmo y of the family, or a valuable mem er of. the community when he be omes an adult. There are som< exts that deserve to be framed ani ung on the walls of every bousehold ,nd to be wrought into the web an( oof of the family life.

LNNECEssARY WoRKu.-"Unnecessar vork, indeed !" I hear some reade xclaim. "Don't preach to me abou innecessary work. There is quit nough work that must be done t< vaste any time over that which cai )e left undone." And yet I am con !inced that at least one-quarter of th< vork performed by women is unnec ssary, and that the world would ge Long quite as well without it. vould be a better and stronger wo nan to-day had I confined my ener ies to strictly necessary work.

Such a womani rery apt to be a nuisance to her famn ly and friends. I once overheard onversation between two gentlemei whose wives were certainly as near t< ~odliness as cleanliness could tak< hem. They were condoling wit: ach other upon the miseries of tha rnual horror, housecleaning. The: >oth voted it, as carried on at thei: tomes, an entirely unnecessary evil )ne said that during its progress a is house everything was so wet tha .e always felt in danger of a deluge vhile his friend remarked that h< ould stand the water, it was th< mell of yelllow soap that he objeeter o, and that women scrubbed to< nuch. The wise woman will draw: learly-deined line between the stati >f cleanliness which compels her t< nake a drudge of herself instead of ompanionable wife and mother, an< .hat which betokens a really sloveni: iosekeeper. There is a knack o eeping things clean which all house eepers do not possess, but which cal >e cultivated. I have observed th< ~reatest difference in this respect il ~ervants; whereas one will get a din er and keep-her kitchen and work~ able in spotless order during the op aration, another will have every' saue pan and dish dirty at the same time md her table a medley of soiled chi a, tins, knives, forks, and dishcloths ith flour, salt, and sugar strewn fror >e end of the room to the other.
