IT HAS iEFN discovered through .an inutirance polley, dated 1824, that the late Lord Boacousfield was really born in the Parish of St. Mary Axe, popu larly known as Sytmetri Axe. This is not as aristocratic a portion of Lon don as that which he subsequently claimed as his place of nativity. But why shouldn't a great main select his .birthplace as well as his place of thurial COLoNEL JOYEIN should Investigate the charge made in the New York Herald that Parson Neuman was de prived of the chaplaincy of Castle Garden in New York because he combined ticket seliig with re ligion. If lie is notin good standing with the New York im migration Commissioners lie should not be inade the nedumY9.f any com-. municationi with the immigrants them selves. It is true the charges of mis. representation inade ty certain North Carolina immigrants against Mr. Neuman. are flatly contradicted by third parties; still It is as well to be careful. Tn FRENCH SENATR has defeated the Scrutin de liste, and thereby dealt a blow. at Gambetta. The present method of election is by the Scrutin d'arrondisenaent, or election pre cincts, similar to our Congressional - districts which elect Congressmen snparately. The Srutin de lste pro poses to have representatives chosen as our Presidential electors are chosen, by all the voters of the State. Both methods-live been in use at difterent -time in France. The latter is Gam betta's' pet scheme, but President Gi.6vy olpoed it; and it is clained that these wvorthies are at loggerh eads. Aai.Uzanswomble Argument. The -questlori Weso'nsibility for burning Columbia has never been . argued propeily by our :people. 'If the burning of that city were an Ixoclatedi ease, the question of responsmi bility would'rest'in Northern mainds upon the .comparative veracity Wf flampton and Shermau. But, taking into~ consIderation all of Shermxan's acts,.circumustantial evidence, alone, should convince the most skeptical N~orthern mind that the load is on his *shoulders. During the Confederate retreat and Shernman's advance, every ginhouso in the country was burned. Every depot and store, and the towns of Blackvilie, Lexington and Winne boro, ao well as Columbia, were all partially dest royed. Conmmon sense teaches that whoever burned theme burned Columbia too. When it is universally conceded that Sherman's army ,cid burn all these places, and when all the citizens of Columbia also unanimously testify that It burnied their city, where has hie a peg on which - to hang his denial? 8o long as the North is left to be. lleve that Columbia alone suffered, so long is it easy to persuade hter that lanipton was the incendiary. Biut when she is told of the general confla grations that attejlp4 Sherman's march all through the State, her eyes will be opened. This is tIh line of * argup~ent to pursue. IL is incontro vertible, 1olities of the Week, Last week's proceedings at Albany have done little or nothing to solve the vexed problem of the senatorships. Conklihig and Platt have lost a few Votes apiece;i and DePew, an adminis tration man and the counisel of Van. deorbii4's vailroad, leads all the comn. p)etitors with a vote of fliy-four, or twenty-seven less than the majority In a full convenition. It is predIicted that ho will niever in the goal, as lhe has to gaini votes l'om the stailwar'ts or Democrats, even) itf all the haif.breeds anpport him, The sensation of' the week was the announcement by a member tuamed Bradley that the Sena tor from his disatrict had given him two thousattd dollars to change hisa vote from Platt to DePew, The money was produced ini the joint convention, and is now in the hande of the State Comptroller awaiting the result of an investigation by a special committee. The chatge Is bitterly denied, and tihe DePoev men say that it is a con *,spiracy gotten up by .the stalwarts. Several heated slieches on eilher side have been made, though it is evident that all eldes are becoming disgusted at the deadlock ; tile more especially ~as an extra session brings no extra pay.'

Getertl Wickibain. the leader of the Republicans, hats Issed a manifesto urging all his political friends to stick to their qrgadaxtion and not support Xahone, unless lie comes over bag and baggage into the Republican camp. The administratoin has not showed*its hand yet, and XAlione sits an the anxious bench. Ohio Democrats brag that they will defeat Charles Foster In November, though they haves heavy majority to crawl over. Their catididate has not been found. Thurman could get the nomination, but he refuses to say the word. As the New Hampshire Legislature meets biennially, the State Suprene Court ha decided that the. present Legislature must elect a Senator to take his seat in March, 1883, as the next Legislature will not convene be fore May, 1883, and the State would lose its vote in the Senate. The true motive is that the present Legislature Is Republican and the next one might not be. New lamlpshire's Senators do nothing but vote, anyhow, and only the closely divided Senate makes any difference whether the vacaney is diled or not. TNR CONDITION OF FAIRFIELD. Oauses of the Existing State of Thlig&.-A A Letter Froin a Fanner. Mr. 0. H. c Afaster: DEAR SIR-As I have a few leisure moments at my disposal, I will embrace the opportunity in writing a reply to your letter of no date, and send you a summary swatemnent of soine existing remarks based thereon. To give anything like satisf: etory answers to your interogatories, I would have to assume the province of the political economist, fortify every position and substantiate every propo sition by an array of official statistics; but as I have not the ability of the for mer, and not in possession of the lat ter, I send you the Ibilowing cridely expressed opinions for what they are worth. I presume you do not intond your questions to be considered a simply to be directed to a distinctive class or to certain classes, but to be applied to the entire ettlzenship of the State as a iit. As individuals taken collectively con stitute a cla'ss, so classes are but tile component factors of the composite whole, as applied to a people or popu lation. I use the word class as applied to calling. and occupations. Some persons of a class may be prospering, and others at the same time, fair more so ;i.&dby it ls so no assijtnable reason-ean-be tciven, other thani that. the.God of nature has made Many erde ofmnyknd. It ls diflicult to glie a correct fixed ed meaning to thes word prosperous, unider all circumnstances, or rather to establish a siugle stanidard by which, at all times and under all conditions, to measure or balance the meaning wvhen applied to the status of the same class or even nation. Different stand ards are to be used in the estimate for the several nations, and a variable cr1 terion must even be the test for diR similar circumstances. One nation may be declared not prosperous and another quite so. Yet wvhen comp ed the one with the other, it is palpa bly evident that the 011e pronounced not to be prosperons is fair in advance of the other in wealthy piower, popula tion anid all that gces to contribute to the greatness ofa people, and vet (lhe averrmeitsf lair, just and correct, for they were not comnpared one with the other, but each within itself and to itself, and by a standard fixed by a reckoning up of their respectivye sur roundings and peculiar circum istances at the time and the standard of the one did not require the same niumber, and same measurement of the points to be scored. Persons may be com pared with other persons of the same class, or one class may with propriety be compared with the same class of another nationality, but good sense forbids the reverse. In all countries, and at occasional periods, an abnor mal state of things exists, and indi cates an ulcerous condition of (lie body politic. The legal (class as a whmole) is niot prospecrous wvhen a litigious spirit stalks through the land, when lawlessness is fas/aionablc, crime runis riot and the sheriff is kept busy, and barratrv can be indulged in. The M. D.'s (of all colleges) h ave their hands full whenci wide-spread epidemics pie vail, when the scapel, the bandage and the splint have frequently to be resort ed to. The merchants and store keep ers are in full blow when such a condi tion in society exists as will admit the widest margin for profit, w hen mner chandcise can be marked and sold1 at orbitant percentage, and the necessity of purchasers is such as will permit the practice of extortion. There the ac *Lumulationl of thie dollar' Is the syno nym of prosperity-casting aside as trivial such items as honor, integrity, reputation, wvear and tear of brain, and anxiety of mind. Buit tis is ai'i abnormal condition anid is only men tioned to make the point Ihat the lpros perity of one class muly be inflated by the mental distemper, the scourge, (lhe disaster and (lie calamics' of others. lunt wvhen a heathy equllibrmir exists, and all things run ini their nat aal or usual channels, whio is mor0e esatenmed than the lawyer, who by high:integr! ty, close apiplienitioni and' iniform cour tesy, has elevated himself to (lie high planme -of an enviable rep~utation, or who Is more beloved than thie 'family physician. upon the utterance of whose Sip>s have h ug (lie hopecs of an entire fntaly, and where skill and jiudgnment and care has rescued beloved ones from (lhe sick bed anid restored to their fireside circle? Who is muore respect ed than the morchant; W-hmse hnor. r.. m a~ Arliai i tW1~ h t'r U-titl0 wh68 ttJdghtbt, ^ttentiV nes, foresight and business tact have placed hian in a poseitl for solial uate tulness ald cotmtortable r 8epose? Now, to your first, questiotn. "Ar 011r, mopleporosperous?" I will estalp lish n yi n iblhd at standard lun select a stand-point, and by th 0in and t(rom the other, will sha'pe my Am. ewer. The stand-puint is JanuarV 1881-overlooking the epoch 186i fron tiat.to 1876,-then the succeedil four yeas., and recall and consider th( surrotindiligs of all clitsses of' our eo pie during fhie lapse of that time. Just a little over fifteen years ago (an in. finltessimal fraction in the life of a nar tion) ou pe6ple bad just emerged from a most disastrous war, and the conse quence of its results, we can find tn pmrallel in historv-a much cherished principle hurned'in a lost causc-for tunes destroyed, all proj>ertiee depre. elated-our people sobbing over the gravesof beloved ones-society up heaved.- energies paralyzcd, labor de moralized-inaliness ruled the uation al inlud, passion prompted and re. venge dictAted all Congressional Leg. Islation--fati"leyei years of the fifteen years, intelligence was throttled, igno. rance ruled supreme, and villainy rat ed at premium-our State govornnent In the possession of sharpers, whlosce oilly statesmanship was a skilifbil facil itv -in levying taxes upon our impover ished people, appropriating the reve nues of State to self, and squandering it in the gratiflcation of sensuousness. And this until aflor the Hampton cam paign in 1876, when in a few months the'State was regenerated into a 1)0w' Or that Is elevating her to the woutige she once had accorded her. M e now bave gentlemet of honor and ability at the head of State atieirs, the govern ment. administered with economy and integrity, taxation riot burthensome, iud publc money expended in legiti. mnate.channels, interest on the State bonds promptly paid, State credit re viving-all institutions getting Into a tealihy condition-conets regularly )penl and justice meted out to till ::onvicted criminals humanly punislied -colleges increasing their catalogwes fr-om %-ear to year-a free school uys temn practically establishied--new en terprises projected throughout the i-ate-the cash system gradiually root, oulg out "going on tiek"-onr 'county )ut of debt-all public contracts hon oitly made, and when complied With, romnptly paid-almost all able to pay .axes-waiste places being built up Ad settlements being repaired and cew buildings being erected, and an %ir of comfort aid contentment spurn ng the place of despondency. These ire clear indications that there is life n the old land yet. Now, sir, from Ihis standpoint, and smtnning up all ,hat has transpired within the first. 'level of the filteen past years, and 'emembering that it hats 'been only l'our years ago, that time dated 1877, 1 im Inclined to answer your question 5y saving we are a prospering people. And I think nio other nation or peo pie under the sun has shown such wonderful recuperative powers (not oven France) as we have done. Now, I know, we have the class "croakers" aimongst us, and we have "Alicawbers" who sit down and wait for "some thing go->d to turn up." These have been lett out of the estimate. As to the second interrogatory, "What will make then more so?" I will respond, Yankee-like-iuterroga tively. They generally ansver a ques tion by asking onme. Are our' people extravagant? As a geineral thing, do tl.ey live bevond or~ withina their it come IiIf this is so, Canl legislation correot? On~ latw reOgulaite expeinse and compel the practice of economnv? Wi'll the-c'i.arittr of our goveranment, thme spirit of the ate, and the genius of our people tolerate sumptuary laws? Is not the cultivation of good 'commaon sense, the aplilcation and practise of Its precepts, thte only reme'dy? Is not class legaslat ion. 10or o against4, dan gerous ? Woukd it be piroper, Just or wvise, to protect one class to the injuryv of' another? D~o not a good matny of our people-conlsider the 11ien ltaw' flhe Pandcrau's box, from wich leop atli our evils and its f'epeal the paneca for all our' ills? Cannot munch be said on both sides of t.his quest ion? Have all classes udvataiced to that plane that 1no credit is n'"ded?. Canm credit be ob tamied unless based on1 the fitth of ~oafe species of piopearty, pre'senit or' pruospective? Ia it not said that the ion law creates extr'avagance, and permiits the mnerchant to charge exoarbi anit prices? D~oes the lien for'ce 'a manl to buy faything beyond the actuail mccessaries of life? Will a repeal of his law stop cr'edit, or~ wiill its repeal live a -conscience to the mcant 01' Ilhop-kC~epe? Can any~ law be enacted to force credit ithotut security'? anhnot any person get credit onm thec rmotgage of' land, any good collateral ii a horse, an) OX, a mule oa' a cow anmd if cr'edit is extended under this ecur'ity, cannot the holder' of' the mortgage sell his goods at any price le sees fit, the saine as under' a lien ? Is the lien lawv any'thinmg but a condi ionally r'estr'ictedl mor'igage on a crop to be made. Canm a lawv be passed to r'egulate an'd limit per cent, or pr'ofit Onl mierchanmdise? if passed woeuld it be permitted to remalin In the statute book ? Would it be wise p~olicy to r'e peal law's respecting mortgages'? .Yours respcctfhlly, P.
