THE FCTCRE OF THE SbtTn.
When the credulous heathen opened
the box of Pandora and allowed all the
evils that afflict mankind to estape,
hope remained at the bottom to cheer
and animate us in our conflicts with
them. Just now would seem an inau
spicioui timets harard a prophecy in
regard to the future grcalness of the
South. But in jnst such an hour ns
this hope comes welling up from the
bottom of our hearts and points us to a
brighter side of the picture. It is said
the darkest lionr of night Is that which
precedes the dawn. Surely our night,
has been a long one, and wemust have
reached its darkest hour. Our people
hare passed through a terrible and
« trying ordeal, and although they did
not come forth unscathed they exhibit
a depth of strength and resolution,
backed by a superior knowledge drawn
from the school of their sad experi
ence that eminently fits them for the
onward march and the glorious desti
ny that awaits them. It is the hard
usages of fortune that make great men,
and even great nations. The world
could not have boasted the prow css of
Philip or his son Alexander, or Mace
don hardly been known in history had
not a petty neighboring state disturbed
Philip and Ills subjects. Napoleon’s
early lot was a hard one; so with the
greattnajorily of all the learned men
and philosophers of the world; so it
is in every day life. The young man
born to wealth and an easy path sel
dom accomplishes anything, while of
ten the poor hoy, who*has to struggle
•with and bravo every difficulty, profits
bv the roueh traininar and makes for
himself ft name and destiny better than
the inheritance of the more favored
youth. The last few years have taught
the South a bitter but valuable lesson.
Actual necessity lia9 driven her
into the right path, and all the vicissi
tudes and ■experiences of the nations
of the world and their teachings in his
tory would not have done it one-tenth
as efl'ectualiy as has her own lesson.
Our people have cast off their effemi
nacy and put on the garments of men.
A new inode of life is followed that
will bring health and prosperity—in
creasing physical and mental strength.
The N. Y. Times in an article on (lie
relative condition of the North and
South indulges in some very just re
marks, which we think apposito here,
itsays: The tortoise mny rgain out
strip the hare. In the race for solid
wealth, it seems not improbable that
the Soutli may, after all, pass the North.
The former is in several respects belter
fitted for (lie trial. It has graduated
in the school of adversity, and come
out spare indeed in flesh, but witii
wind, and nerve, and muscle in capital
(rim. The North, on the contrary, has
revelled in the delights of dissipation,
and shows all the signs of revelry and
sumptuous living. It is sleek and finely
clad, but with nerves unstrung, and
predisposed to short breathing.
The Southern planter was precipita
ted roughly to the bottom. lie lost
everything. The labor he had relied
upon was taken from him. The com
fort in which ho had been reared sud
denly vanished. lie suffered the pangs
of poverty and despair. Compelled to
struggle for his bread, lie began life
anew under its mos't dispiriting aspects.
Necessity made him thrifty, temper
ate and industrious^ Having neither
money nor credit, lie was compelled to
train his appetite to simple fare, and to
adapt his ways to circumstances of the
hardest kind. The lesson was an un
pleasant one, but it has yielded good
results. Tlio planter of to-day is not
the planter of ten years ago. He has
he can pay for and to confine bis wants
within comparatively narrow limits.
Hurd times have lost their terrors for
him. They have taught him to regu
late his expenditure by bis means, and
with this lesson learned he lias little
to fear. If iio has not wealth lie has
none of the drawbacks incident to its
possession. An inflated currency does
not demoralize Urn; and all the habits
growing out of the war tend toward
simplicity of tusto in food and dress.”
This being the situation our people
have nothing to do hut to show the
same indomitable energy and exhibit j
tho same frugality—which necessity :
demanded then—that lias character- j
ited them for the Inst few years, and!
they will create capital of their own |
that will draw other capital from the I
North and Europe. It may he safely
set down as a sound political maxim
that, just in proportion to the relative
wealth and capital of-the different sec
tions of a country, so will be their in
fluence upon its legislation. The
South only needs to increase her
wealth to increase her influence, and
sho is now laboring successfully in
that direction. She is already possess
ed o( a capital that it beginning to be
felt again In its influence. We menu
the adaptability of her soil to the
gwwtli of superior cotton aud its great
productiveness. We hope to learn of
three million bale* ol this product be
ing raised iu the Southern States this
year. We believe its cultivation ought
to be pushed a* far as the raising of
grain and meats for homo consumption
will admit. Not that we would advise
our people to plant cotton exclusively,
but, after having planted a sufficiency
of graft for their own use devote tho
remainder <0 their capital to the rai*
lug of cotton. A great uyjny attempt
♦o dissuade from planting ■largely on the
ground that a inuuti erop will tiring as

think this i* ridiculous nonsense. The
crop is larger this season than Inst, anti
still bears a higher price ami lest fluc
tuating. A large crop in America will
cripple llie coinpotlon of other coun
tries. Our cotton is king yet, now as
serting his dominion, and is ihc best
friend and ally the South has got.

The rourteenth Akueasdment
and llie Congress of the United
Mates.
Wasiiin*otoh, D. C., Jan. 17, 11-163.
A bill was introduced in the House
day before yesterday, by Mr. Boutwell,
to enforce the provisions of the 14th
amendment to the Constitution, the
first section of which -confers the right
of sntl'ragc on all persons without dis
tinction of race <«• color or former con
dition of slavery. Tne second denoun
ces a penalty against officers of election
wire shall refuse to take the vote of any
person to whom tho right to vote is
given by the first section. Tho third
section punishes by fine or imprison
ment all persons who, after the passage
of the .act, shall continue to Itold or
exercise the functions of any office in
violation of tlie 3d section of the 14tli
amendment. The bill was hjfcrrcd
without debate to the committee on
Judiciary, where it will doubtless re
main till the adjournment ofCongrcss,
Without the 3a section the bill might
pass this Congress. There Is a strong
desire among leading Republicans to
pass some act conferring the right of
sufferage on the negro, and an equally
strong desire to relievo all disabilities
imposed by the 14th amendment.
Judge Bingham favors renioveing the
disabilities of all who apply for their
removal. Senator Ifcrr, of Connecti
cut, favors the removal of all disabili
ties and Introduced a bill in the Senate
to that effect several days ago. Banks,
Logan, Garfield, Schenck, Butler,
Washburne, Wilson. Colfax, and most
of tiie leading members of the House,
and almost the entire Scnnte, say that
for the present Congress should be
governed by the merits of each particu
lar case, and this is the rule that will
doubtless govern both houses of the
present Congress. The next Congress
will for a while be governed by the
same rule, but, mark me, it will not be
six months after llie assembling of tho
next CongrcsB till all arc relieved. It
has leaked out in (lie last few days (lint
Grant favors this policy, and it is gain
ing ground every day. Gen. Bnrbridge
wrote a letter to a friend in Kentucky,
a few days ego, in which he takes
.i.- ~r )
amnesty. There are quite a number of
Kentuckians here, among whom arc
•fudges Goodloe and Burton, Generals
Croxton. Frv and ilnrlan, Colonels
Miiward. Gili, Kelley, Burns, Bristow,
Messrs. Cobb, Kong- and Barkhousc,
nud Colonel Dick Wintersmith.
A bill relieving certain Kentuckians
of political disabilities is pending be
fore the Reconstruction committee.nud
will doubtless be passed by the 1st of
next month.
A Young Mari led Man Shot and
Killed by 111m Fatlier-ln-l.uw,
In 8ell-Uerense.
We learn from Colonel Pryor that a
tragedy of a peculiar character took
place at old Spring Dale, live miles
from Water Valley, last Friday evening
just after dark. A young man, twenty
two years of age, named Frank Wilson,
was killed by his father-in-law, Mr.
Isaiah Goodwin, a respectable and
well-to-do citizen. The circumstances
were briefly as follows: Mr. Wilson
having been (o Water Valley to sell
some colton, Friday, returned home to
his father-in-law s, about dark, in a
slate of intoxication. At such times he
has always been noted for violence of
I speech and actions. lie had remarked
I on his way lu.mc that when lie got
back there would be h—1 to pay. After
putting away his team lie went out of
liis little house, a mere office in Mr.
Goodwin's yard, and called on the old
gentleman tocomo out and see him kill
that hog, at the same time flourshing
his revolver in the air and facing the
house.
Mr. Goodwin knew there was no
hog about, and being aware of threats
against his life by his son-in-law, took
down liis gun, to bo ready to defend
himscif. Wilson advanced toward tho
entry, and when ho got sight of Mr.
Goodwin, tired at him. The bullet
grazed Mr. Goodwin's head He re
turned the Are from a double-barreled
yhot-gun. and a full load of buckshot
took effect in Wilson’s breast, killing
him instantly.
An examination was held the follow
ing day before a magistrate, when Mrs.
Wilson testified that her husband told
her several days before that he inten
ded to ‘-kill her old daddy,” and simi
lar threats it was proven had been
made by him at various times and
places, especially when ho was drink
ing. Mr. Goodwin was discharged, of
course, as it was a clear enss of Bclf
defense. Wilson and his father-in-law
had had some iit’le difficulty a few
weeks ago, but what it was did not ap
pear on the examination. Wilson had
been manied one vuar onlv. and lie
side* his wife left a child.—Memphis

Proposed Division or Texas.
The Washington correspondent of
the Boston Post telegraphs tiie fol
lowing:
The Constitutional Convention of
Texas, now in session at Austin, lias
been engaged in a bitter contest over
the question of dividing the State.
Those opposing tiie division, however,
are likely to come off conquerors thro’
tiie direct interference of Geu. Grant,

CAnby instructing him to uotify the
convention that it had assembled under
the provision of the reconstruction
laws lo frame a constitution for the
Slate, uot to divide it, Geu. Grant i

for the present, and. from reports, lie !

We take the following frotn the:
Memphis Appeal of the 2Cth ult:
The remains of Mnj. H*s%cy, brought
to this city as related in the Appeal
yesterday niornititr, were interred ves-i
ierday afternoon ki Elmwood Come-!
tcry. A large crowd followed them to j
their final resting place, and many a
refugee swote over Ins cold and inani-1
mate corpse a long and deep hatred and j
revenge to nnd upon his murderers. ;
We arc Informed that when the mili
tia law first went into operation and
Crittenden county was nmong those j
put under martial law, two companies .
of militia were raised nnd officered by ;
three or four carpet-baggers from Con- j
nccticut, who had settled llierc during
the war.
These “sweet scented” individuals
bclieviug in miscegenation thoroughly,
took unto themselves wives from the
sons of Ham, and settled here, each
with a couple or so of dusky aspnsins
as helpmates, from whom they have
raised families of molasses-cotorcd
children.
When tho ‘war’ broke out a few
weeks ngo, they moved their dear char
ges over to this side,.and they are now
living down in Fort Pickering in
clover. Every day or two tiiese offi
cers come over to see their harems, and
eaeli time they come loaded witli spoils
of one sort and another. Ojie of these [
gentry is named Payne, and was in
town Sunday, and brought over plun
der to tho amount of $200. He went
back yesterday, nnd promised one of
his negro wives to bring her.any quan
tity of “traps” when he comes again.
We hope that some of those who know
this fellow by sight may keep an eye
on him.
The steamer Dos Arc from White
river, arrived last night about, half past
ten o’clock. She brought Clayton, his
staff, and an army of detectives around,
and they nre now in the city. We are
informed by passengers that at Helena
the Sheriff of Woodson and Drew
counties came on hoard and arrested a
man named Bray, put him in irons and
hurried him on shore. In reply to all
inquires the same answer was given—
“ it was hv order of the Governor.”
Besides the Governor, there were on
the boat Judge Bennett, Lewis Com
missioner of Immigration, Asa Hodge,
Representative of Crittenden county,
and Newell, Representative of Desha
county.
The whole party remained on hoard •
last night, and will take the first ferry- '
boat up to Marion this morning—it is!
said for tho purpose of investigal iug j
the affairs in that unhappy region.

Wife Triiding.i
A late numberof the Effingham (111.)
Democrat speaks of a couple of fellows
in that county that have been swapping
women. We have heard of instances
before where husbands have traded j
wives, hut this is tlie first instance that j
we ever noticed where a father traded j
a daughter to a husband for his wife.
This gross barbarism was developed in :
the courts of that county last week, i
It appers, says the Democrat, that at or ;
near Mason, a preacher named Deitz— !
heaven save the mark!—traded his:
daughter to his neighbor, named'
Burns, for his wife, agreeing to give as
boot between the daughter and wife
$5,000.
In accordance witli Ibis trade the |
husband left the wife and took the:
daughter oft' to St. Louis and the wile ;
placed herself under the care ot the '
trading preacher.
Alter Burns had frolicked around
St. Louis awhile with the daughter, he
returned to Mason anil demanded itis
boot money, which the Rev. old scoun- i
drel refused to pay, and then Burns
had him arrested for sediteiug his wife,
and the trial developed the above facts.

Brownlow, of dirty stocking fame,
who has organized such a first-class
hell in Tciiuesseo, has a dangerous ri-!
val in the supposed Governor of Ark

condition of war, riot and outlawry!
