,t Measure our Cora in
your Bushel."
.is it on old adage, thu moral of
fa is (o caution ub ngainst ostium-
j the acta of others b) the circutn-
tuces which surround ourselves.—
t is one that our Northern friends
/rould do well to ponder upon when
(hey sit in judgment on our doings,
and estimate the moral wickedness of
ibat which we commit. A negro is
whipped for larceny in Carolina, and
the cause is at once set down to be
hatred for bis black skin, and anti-
pathy to the General Government.—
But this is not always the case.—.
The education of a Carolinian does
not teach him that the lash is the ter-
rible penalty that Massachusetts peo-
ple think it is. It may bo the mis-
fortune of Carolinians that they have
Hot been educated in the philanthro-
pic principles that prevail at the hub
*-but still if they, in their ignorance,
think they aro providing a proper
and just punishment for crime, tliny
ought neither to be taunted with
cruelty nor accused of treason. In
Maryland Sambo is sold for simi-
lar petty delinquencies, and the same
cause is assigned. But Mary landers
may argue, and with no little show
of logic, that it is much bettor, both
for the State and the individual, to
put an incipient rascal under the dis-
cipline of tho farm-yard, than to in-
carcerate him in the penitentiary.—
Now let it not pi' inferred that we are
arguing in favor of tho lash, for we
have as much «version to it as had
Sancho Panza. Neither do wo be-
lieve in the selling of criminals for
term of years. Yet if the aet was en-
titled ono "to biro out to hard labor on
plantations, persons convicted of
crime" there would be far less out cry
raised. It must be confessed that
our Northern friends have been so
jiiach troubled with slavery, they are
n little scorod at its ghost. They
think us a good deal more wedded to
our ebony idol than we are. We
have sometimes thought that in their
very pervorsenosB they imagino tliAt
wo are not ho'iest in our opposition
to negro suffrage, when wo toll that
tho old masters v/ill control tho votes.
But we nssuro them a largo number
of tho most determined opponents of
this measure know full well that they
could coutrol the negro voto with the
greatest ease.—Fluke's Bulletin.
Tho right of railroad travelers to
have first-class cars 011 first class tick-
ets is illustrated in the following in-
cident :
A Mr. W. P. Dale, of New York,
having business in the West, reached
Hamilton, Ohio, and after transacting
bis business there, got on tie Chi-
cago nnd (¡Juichináti train for a point
¿irthor up. There veré but two cars
*—a ladies' car, no-called, and a
dinoking car -into which Sir. Dale
was obliged to go, tho brakesman r
fusing him access to the ladies' car.
He appealed to the conductor, but he
sustained the aetion of the brakesman.
Mr. Dale asserted his right to a seat
in the first-class car on his first-class
ticket, and refused to give it up until
bo received what ho was entitled to,
whereupon tho conductor called the
workmen on the train to his aid, and
forcibly ejected him from the train.
Instead of going on the succeeding
train, Mr. Dale went to Cincinnati,
and, going to office of the Chicago
and Cincinnati railroad, made a state-
ment of his case. The company act-
cd promptly in the matter--discharg-
ed tho conductor and compensated
Mr Dale for hU loss of lime, and de-
cided, besides, that the holder of a
first-class ticket has the right to a
seat in a first-class car.
Mexico.—Uy vario, s means the
Picayune loams the following :
'IMie French troops are descending
rn masse to Vera Cruz, General
Castlenau remains until the last, und
will leave by English steamer on the
1st of March. Marshal lW.ninu will
leave on a fúgate somewhat sooner,
Castlenau and the French Minister.
Danios, visited the Emperor at Pue-
bla, and obtained from him a promise
of abdication in JniiU'iry, when lie
hoped to bo able to assemble a Con
gross to announce the will of the jieo
pie. Thf< answers of the Liberal
chiefs to the invitation sent them for
¿heir co-operation leave no hope that
n Congress can he had. and the Em-
peror must abdicate notwithstanding.
•This is the present impression, mean
while the Emperor is governed en
lirely by his confessor, Father Fortier,
who has assumed the reins of govern-
ment.
Tho Liberals are all around the
city, and have possession < f the road
thence to 1'iu-bla. Tho Liberals, ii
is thought, will soon be in possession
of thecapitol. There is a report that
the Emperor has abdicated, but it is
probably proinaturc.

Banks' constituents are raits
hig money to pay his ilcbts.
A correspondent of tho Rome, (Ga.)
Courier, writingfrom Crockett, Texas,
says a large number of emigrants from
Georgia are arriving in that portion
of the State. He says that the lands
on tho Brazos, Colorado and Trinity
aro the most productive in the South,
and will average a bale of five hun-
dred pounds to the acre. The best
will yield one and a half to two bales,
and corn in proportion. The uplands
will produce abale to the acre. The
health of the country is good, and
with the general use of cistern water,
would be almost perfect. There are
hardly any two cities in any other
Southern State that rival Galveston
and Houston in business. Notwith-
standing) the war, thoro has been
probably aB much money in Texas
this yearns before the war, and the
people are disposed to Bpcnd it. The
moral tono of the people is good and
improving.
Worth Knowing.—A poison of
any conceivable description and de-
gree of poteucy, which has been swal-
lowed iutentionally or by accident
may le rendered speedily harmless by
swallowing two gills of sweet oil.—
An individual with a very strong
constitution should take twice the
quantity. This oil will neutralize
every form of vegetable or mineral
poison with which phyiicians and
chcmists are acquainted.
Young men may be found about the
city hunting for employment. A
gentleman advertised for one, and two
dozen applications wero made, im-
mediately. We aro sorry to soo this
Farming is ihe only and the best
business now. Let all young men
who are not omployed to their satis
faction, go to gome little farm and
raise grain, hogs, cattle, sheep and
poultry. IIow happy they will feel
Try it for ono year, young men.—
Huston Journal.
We published n dispatch the other
day to the effect that the vote was
taken in tho lower llouao of the South
Carolina Legislature on the Constitu-
tional Amendment, and that thu re-
sult was 95 against it, to one vote
for it. This does not look liko any
backing down in tho Palmetto
State.—Newt.

Advertising.—A story related of a
merchant who made tho choice of a
husband for his daughter depend on
which of her two suitors should writ
tho best advertisement, serves to
illustrate the importance which i s at-
tached hy business men to judicious
advertising. In what "judicious'
advertising exactly consists is not,
however, so generally settled. Somt
think it is in arresting the people's at-
tention and forcing them to read the
advertisement nolens rol ens. Others
aiinjto keep certain nrticles constantly
before tho public. Steady, uniform
and persistent advertising unijuos
tionably benefits every man in busi-
ness. * * * One idea in relation
to adveitising originated with the
French—tho philosophy of which
does not seem fora long time to have
been comprehended by either tin
English or the Americans. Thu Eng-
lish, always slow in adopting new
notions, are at last beginning to "ap-
preciate itbut tho Americans car-
ry it to as great an extent as the
Parisian?. Tlio motto in Paris is,
"repeat," "repent," until, by constant
repetition, tho public are thoroughly
familiar with the article. Racinuss
in advertising is good, but repetition
id better.—X. 1'. Journal of Com-
nurcc.
