THE COTTOIf STATES. '
The New York" Sun is among the
greatest of newspapers in the matter of
getting up and condensing new, but in
facts pertaining to the South, like most
NTnrHifii-n iournala it is eenerally strain
ing after a rote in,Jhfif Southern ieyflj)
without regard to theleam which dims
their own eye-sight In its daily issue
of Dec. 29th, and in a sort of a Jucid in
terval, when the status of the Southern
States is being considered, . the Sun
prints the following as a leading editori
al, which we re-tfroduce entire:
Following the deficiency of the crops
in Europe inevitably came prosperity
for American agriculturalists. Blessed
with superabundant harvests of all
grains, and having a ready market for
them at high prices, they are making
money ; and the . looked for revival of
business has taken place. AU business
is conducted on wealth created by the
producers. If the class that produces
wealth is in straitened circumstances,
all classes are straitened.
The unprecedented development of
the Northwest, the West, and the South
west, and the marvelous increase of
their population, have often been dis
cussed. Bu, with unanimity that is re
markable, our writers have overlooked
the South, or regarding that section as
unworthy the attention of Northern pa
triots, they have scorned to give1 it the
notice that should in justice be accord
ed to well deserved prosperity. It may
seem a bold statement, but the section
that has been neglected by the Ilepub
lican press of the North is to-day, and
has been for years, the most prosperous
portion of the Xnipn,andits prosperity
rests on the most stable basis.
The States of Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi
North Carolina, South Carolina, Ten
nessee, and Texas are known as the cot
ton States, since the cultivation of cot
ton absorbs the labor of i husband
man in that region of our country. The
total population of the ten States in
1870 was 8,272,228. The close of the war
found them impoverished. v Their pro
perty was destroyed. We of the North
next overran them with carpet-baggers,
who stole from them, interfered with
their State governments, and oppressed
them in many ways. The inhabitants
of the cotton States waited as patiently
as they had fought courageously, and
at last regained the control of their own
affairs. From that time the onward
march of the cotton belt toward the
most unprecedented prosperity has not
faltered for an instant. The year of
1878 was a prosperous one for them, and
they j ustly rejoiced o yet thejresult. For
the year ending on Junr30, 1879, the do
mestic exports from the United States
amount .djn value to a total of $717,
093,777. Of this vast sum the ten cot
ton States, with their scanty .popula
tion, are credited with $162,304,250 for
their cotton alone; Over twenty-two
per cent of the value of our exporta
tion was received for a crop grown by
less than twenty per cent of our popu
lation. The Republican press of the North is
so habituated to describing the people
of the South as riding up and down
their lonely roads, engaged in their only
occupation-except drinking whiskey in
low bar-rooms of shooting and tortur
ing colored Republicans, that many
thousands pf worthy men in the Jtforfch
really believe this to be tru.eIf.Wte
Republican press claims, the people of
the cotton belt did nothing but loaf in
groggeries, and organize in9xe&1
nigger uunis, mey wouia ail starve to
death. There is an old saw that by his
chips you can judge a.workm.
It 4?
also true that by tneot&n ItojJ
can judge of the work done by a people.
Last year the people of the 'eottdn belt
found time to raise over 4,000,000 bales
of cotton for export, besides supplying
the United States.- objected by th
N6rtheriTReVubii(rs!Ltimt;ithis' work?
at least the greater part of it, is done by
in -eMerea-raee.--Why not?
De-4he f
owners of the farms outride oXhe cot:
V.
them V Do not almost all of:4hefenI
ploy labor and supervise it? Because
a man happens to be black, and works
in a cotton ifieldy ha isienjtiled-tda
more credit for simply working than is
an Irish, German, or American farm
hand who works in the cornfields on
the lean soil of New. Hamnshire or the
rich prairies of KahsasV" Because thvsfs' sesstoisjincleoT
landless laboring cTassof thV South
raise cotton under the intelligent super
vision or men who own laaw, it
just to call the landownei crrje&o
pressive, ana muraerous, ana deny
them creditor the .work.dqne. T.o xeadj
some articles 'written by a Northern
Republican about the labor done on
Southern plantations, one would ibel fed j
to believe that the hiring of a man to
work was the diabolical invention of a
devilish Southern Democrat
Southerners ara inreeeaitd as hating,
the North wittfa aeMTy batrga. IflKfe:
were so, they would bay no goods from
Northern importers. The r-exnort much
cotton, and covhT import foetebandW
if they wished.: What sajr the statistics ?
There were imported into- iheJUnited
States in 1878, merchandise, coin, and
bullion to the value of $466,87246. Of
this valuation but $31,1281 CnMedi j

must be remembered, when judg
ing of the probable future of the cot
ton States, .that they constitutgthe
only extent of cotton land7in the world
where the plant fean be( profitably' culij
vated ; that where cotton clotftfis qnpe
used by apeople, it isnever abandoned ;
and that as long as the human race in
creases or trade develops, there is no such
danger of an over production of cotton
as there is of wheat All countries can
grow Dreaasxuns. jno otner country
earT grow cdtton.l'he machine re
cently invented by Mr. Clement of
Memphis must also be take into con-
that the stupid labor used in the South
can manage- itwithoufc""difficuIty. The
invention enables the planter to spin,
at small expenses khb raw cottdn ' into
threads. It is said s to ; clean the? seed,
more thoroughly than the old ginning
machines, and it is estimated, If it be'
generally introduced, that it will
enable the planter to net 25 per cent
more on his cotton, while the money
paid for spinning, instead of being paid
to English and Northern spinners, will
be paid to the laborers of the South.
This machine of Clement's will proba
bly create an industrial revolution in
the cotton States, greater in extent
even than was accomplished by the
saw gin, patented by Eli Whitney in
I79i
The people of the cotton belt have
come, out from the desolating gloom
IxestedJb; a great and - .unsuccessful
war, which overturned the previous
condition of society and the relations
of the two races. They have mainly
reconciled the colored people to the
existing condition, of affairs. They
have rednced the debts of their States
until many of their bonds are at par.
They have rebuilt tlie houses and fences
destroyed by marching armies, and
have replaced the destroyed agricul
tural capital of their country.
, -. The Northern agriculturists should
look WitM envy on a land where the
owners of the soil control the State."
In this article the Sun furnishes the
fats and figures which prove to the
world ihat our great cotton industry is
one of the most valuable in the history
of mankind, and it at the same time
takta occasion Ho pay us a tribute for
"fighting courageously, and at last
gaining control of our own affairs."
Thiivthonghv tardy, is not only appre
ciated here at the South, but marks the
beginning of that new era which will
make the South feel that she is once
more a part of our common country,
which is he envy as well as the pride
of the civilized world So mote it be.
Lotteries in the Mails. Our
readers are familjan with the efforts
made by Postmaster General "Key for
the suppression of the lottery business
as now carried on through the mails', by
the seizure of letters intended for the
agents of such lotteries. The writer of
this paragraph never invested, a dollar
in any lottery and possibly 'never will,
and while he regards the use of the
mails with unbridled license, as a very
great evil, still if the Postal Depart
ment of the Federal government is to
be allowed to refuse, at its dis
cretion, to deliver letters committed to
its care, as a com moifc. carrier, without
regard to their contents, on the pre
text that they contain matters hurtful
to private morals, where will the sur
veillance slop? In avoiding Scylla is
there not dariger of running into
rybdis?
The New York Sun thinks that the
next President, whoever he is,, will

Harder iu Duplin. ;
Between two and three vreeks ago, in
the lower part of Duplin County, near
the Lenoir county line, a difficulty oc
curred between' two brothers named
Thomas and Warren Malpass .and a
man named John Lewis Holland, dur
ing a shooting match between the- par-
, ties, .which- culminated in a fight and,
while Warren Malpass and Holland
were struggling together, Thomas Mal
pass cut Holland with a knife, inflict
ing a terrible wound, from the effects
of which the stricken man has since
died, a jury of inquest having been held
over the body last Sunday, the 21st inst.
The place of the difficulty was near one
"Windelt Davis's mill, about fifteen
miles Tfom Kenansville. Holland is
said to have been sober at the time, but
the Malpass brothers, who bear a very
bad reputation, were drinking. The
deceased leaves a wife and severalebil
dren. There had been no arrests up to
within the past two days, the Malpass
brothers having fled the country.

The trial of the Kev. Father Doven

his pupils for attending as pall bearers
the funeral of a Protestant boy, ended
to-day in a judgment against him in one
case for $13, and in another for $15, and
costs, which amount to over $300. The
case excited great interest, and so much
bitter feeling was engendered that the
venue was changed three times. The
defendant was first arrested at Morris,
Ripley county, Indiana, on November

to Batesville, from which it was again
