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.' Governor Corncll'i little boom

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

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

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.

Ad settlements being repaired and

%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

tamied unless based on1 the fitth of
~oafe species of piopearty, pre'senit or'

permiits the mnerchant to charge exoarbi

mccessaries of life? Will a repeal of
his law stop cr'edit, or~ wiill its repeal
