A froKh and brilliant cireer of roatnoHH is
open to tho South, if nl can but sen her truo
and lasting intcruNt. To buy land and la
borers has been her traditional policy, her
hereditary passion. Laborers nlie cannot now
purchase: of land she has too much for tha
wisent tillnjjn. Her territory is so pierced
with navifabIo streams that tho call for moro
railroads is not imperative. Tho most s.i.i-
ious of her public men are duly alive to tho
importance of establishing manufactures, but
all arc not informed as to what manufactures
re just now tho best for the South. This we
propose to consider. No part of tho K.irth'rt
Miriace run compete with our cotton belt iu
the ease and certainty with which cottons of
long, tine, even staple can bo raised. This
.'rand advantage springs from our peculiar
climate, and this is determined by geographi
cal facts.
Other regions, ns India. Egypt, Dni.il, and
the African coast, can supply to tho clamor
ous looms of Lancashire sull'u-ient cotton for
lower grades of cloth, and lor the coarser
yarns used in filling, Hut for the long, tine
threads rcpiired iu the muslins, lawns, lino
prints, and highest grades of shirtings nil. I
Bhcetiugs, American thread cannot bo re
placed. Cotton thread, tine, strong, nnd even,
is the precise article which Kngland most
needs from us, and sue must continue to re
quire it as long as she has lh.it immense sur
plus population beseeching work th;lt they
may live, requiring additional looms tr keep
them from the pour loaf aud thin sjup of
pauperism. These cotton yarns can be spun
at tho South at le-;s cu-t, wiih less waste,
by as cheap labor, fed by .is cheap food, us
in any part of the world. There are im
mense pine forests to supply fuel, the weather
is so mild -that spinning ' houses would
consume but a trifle for licit, and spinning
can be done by that largo class of half hands,
the crippled, the oid ni d young, those feeble
in body and abased in spirit, with whom the
South abounds. For manufactures of tho
highest class, arts which require vigilance and
fckill, a trained eye and a nice touch at every
tage of an operation, the South docs not no"
furnish a full supply of the grade of labor re
quired, lint to tend tho cylinders, cards,
jack frames, and ring traveller frames, by
which cotton lint is converted into cotton
yarns, numbering from L'O to 40, does not re
quire a better operative than the plantations
and the pine woods of tho cotton belt can
turn out in abundance. A spinning-house,
fully equipped with every wheel aud spindle
required for converting annually a thonsaud
bales into yarn, with comfortable cabins for
spinners, can bo put up for ., I0(. The
net profits of such a mill may bo
about $20,000 a year. Think of tho immenso
increase of wealth and power to a community
to be gained by supplying such an empire as
the British with an article of prime necessity
and pocketing twenty dollars a bale gain over
and above the profit of growing the cotton !
The South thinks she needs more agricultural
laborers, more Africans or Asiatics. Tint is
her error. She needs more of the de
scendants of Japheth, not Normans with
hereditary pride of blood and of acres, but
the patient, skilful, industrious artisan, tho
artificer in brass and copper, the man w ho
thinks in iron. Upon this class depends the
world-wide vigor aud grasp of tho Jiritisk i
empire this class it was that gave the North
her victory. The South does not lack the
foresight and the thrift to see that her future
power and an unchallenged equality in na
tional affairs depend not on a plough-beam
but on a cog-wheel.
THE COAL STRIKE.
From the X Y. Times.
The scene has changed again at Scrautou.
Eccentric as the movements of the miners
generally are, their last turnabout has been
unusually sudden. On Monday a riot was
imminent. A thousand men and more had
assembled from tho surrounding coal fields to
overawe those miners who were disposed to
accept the Seranton company's terms anil go
to work. Against them had gathered seven
hundred citizens enrolled as a volunteer force
under Colonel Boyce, and a largo body of
police headed by tho Mayor. On Tuesday,
however, the outsiders, or "iuvaders,' as the
despatches call them, broke camp aud aban
doned the field.
The strike sprang from the efforts of the
miners to establish tho '"basis" system of
payment throughout the anthracite field.
And its long continuance may bo charged to
the existence of that basis in a part of this
field. With coid at the rates to which it has
been forced, tho men working on tho basis
ronld afford to aid their brethren on strike,
and these latter wore themselves able, even
on the other system.Jto work half the season,
and lie idle on strike the other half, without
trouble.
But the injustice of the strike culminated
when these men who have worked all summer
on the basis declarod, the other day, to those
who had been holding out, that they should
only go to work again on their terms. By
taking that position, they have hitherto pre
vented the Delaware aud Hudson men and
the Delaware and Lackawanna men from
working to any extent, although the latter
were offered an advance amounting to forty
seven per cent, over tho spring wages.
The original rejection of this proposition
showed that what the miners were aiming at,
was not an increase of wages, but the buxi;
and their real 'basis" amounted, apparently,
to the plan of doing pretty much as they
pleased, without- regard to the value of coal
properties. The basis substantially proposes
to turn over the control of the mines from
the companies that now own them to the
Miners' Union, in direct injury to the public
outside of the anthracite field. For, takinor
eoal at tidewater at 5 as a basis, which is
only a fair price for tho producer, the Union
thereupon fixes an arbitrary price for mining,
adding the stipulation that if the price shall
advance above .r. it shall have ten per ceut.
of the advance on prices at the mines; but if
That in somewhat one-wded proposition.
Again, it declares to the operators fchat they
shall employ no workmen except such an be
long to t no Union, nor exchange a jnan ex
cept by its consent.
There were but two companies, the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation Company and the Wilkes
barre Coal and Iron Company, that submitted
to the basis. They have been working all
summer, and, of course, with a great profit,
as the other companies refused to submit, and
lay idle. As soon, however, as they shall have
become strong enough to resist tho basis,
their interest also will be to control their own
affairs, in which case new and worse trouble
may come.
The consequence of this protracted conflict
is that the public suffers and probably will
continue to suffer several millions of people
for a few thousands. On the one hand, we
observe the enormous cost of production by
the basis system, on the other hand the large
advances now made to the strikers over the
spring wages. l'cople have been holding
back everywhere from buying coal; never
theless, with the first days of autumn already
here, they will soon be 'forced to lay in the
winter's stock. But the groat mines have
long been idle, nnd tho rate of production
needful to supply tli winter s demand is, of
course, very far m arrears. The conse
quence is that a cold snap may bring tho fact
to tho pulilic muni that coal is neoded, and
that coal will probi.bly be even higher yet
before midwinter. After tho first of January
only may wo hope lor an important decline.
And for this line state of affairn, present
and prospective, i.i a commodity as im
portant us bread it ;elf, we may thank the
oners.
'Ihere hnsbeen a ' .eneral desire, in this ex
igency, to take the duties from foreign coal.
1 his oii-Mit to oe il'ine; but H will not relievo
tho present necessity, simply because bitumi
nous coal cannot be used by us for domestie
purposes, except in open grates, and hence it s
free admission, (hough desirable on all
grounds, would probably not affect the price
of anthracite twenty ctnts a ton. To illus
trate our meaniiK.' bv a single example, there
is a company running boats to Halifax, where
tlie .Nova N-otia cu.d can iio bought at less
than ! a Ion, which now carries anthracite
coid to that point at 1 n ton! Even our
Cumberland coal is fur superior to tho l'ielou;
and, in fact, this is probably ono of the best
strum coals in the world. 1 ho substitution of
the Cumberland coid, which lias never risen
in price by reason of the strikes, throughout
our manufactories, might relieve the demand
for anthracite, and Cms help to give us what
the generni public demands, namely, eiKVin
anthracite for dome-.tie, use.
THi: CHINESE Til EAT V.
'J litre has been a degree of mystery about
the ministry to i: na ever si;:ce Mr. liiir-
lingame's resignation to accept tho lead of
the ( hinc.se Embassy. Mr. -I. lions Browne
had received the appointment of American
Minister, but was iiardly arrived out when
Hon. V. A. Howard, of Michigan, was ap
pointed by l'resideut Grant to supersede
him. Mr. Howard declined the place on the
ground of business engagements at homo.
Meantime Mr. Erow.ie returned to tho Pacific
coast, and soon uftevward we receive accounts
of bis speeches, mhI ,.f at least one letter from
his hand that tends to throw serious discredit
upon the whole character of Mr. Burlingaine's
mission, and to create tho very impression
concerning the respect duo Chineso authority
at home which best suits tho views of Eng
lish and French resident merchants. As Mr.
Brow ne is now in the country, having de
clared his unwillingness to return to l'ekin
even if requested, it is within his power to
explain the circumstances which now throw a
cloud over his diplomatic career.
That the trouble at l'ekin over tho Bur
lingome Embassy treaty is tho fruit of English
and French influence occurs to every one oa
the instant. The snociticobject of tho Bur
lingame mission to the United States, Bel
gium, Denmark, France, Great Britain, Hol
land, Italy, North Germany, Prussia, Spain,
and Sweden, wos to procure for tho central
government of China that formal recognition
from leading foreign powers which would at
once put an end to tho petty provincial com
plications which F.i .dish and Fronch mer
chants sedulously encouraged. It lm baa l
tho interested habit of the latter to bring
their complaints vinst tho Governors of the
provinces, and to seek reparation of them for
alleged wrongs, declining to recognize any
other or higher authority. They had a de
liberate motive for this; their object was to
Indiunie tho empire by comuierci illy inva
ding it by separate provinces; settling their
differences only with tho potty Governors,
and thus, by ignoring the l'ekin Government,
disintegrating the empire. The entering
wedge of this plot was a commercial, and
therefore an apparently peaceful one, but the
understanding was that their governments
were reaay to susiiun their claims as soon as
they could work up eases of alleged outrage.
AVe see almost the s line spirit operating in
the Sandwich Isl.i ids, the offspring of the
purest jealousy of I'.ie United Slates' and of a
determination to ow rruu all tho foreign coun
tries possible.
Mr. Burhncaiiie fortunately persua led I lie
Imperial Government at Pekin that if tho
Chinese Empire could onco be brought within
tlie pale ot international law, throindi Cio
establishment of r.n equal and advantageous
treaty with foreign powers, it would bo possi
ble to make a final end of this scheme of
invasion under the guise of commerce. Su di
a treaty was concluded with our, Government
nrst as beiitted the circumstances. Ho ha I
next to run the gauntlet of England and
rrance, in wtucn no manifested marked sk: I
and ability as a diplomatist, and ended with
triumphantly carrying his point. Tho rest of
his task, with such momeutuui as ho has now
secured for it in public favor, will be com
paratively easy. And just at the high tide of
his success, seeing that it is sure to devote
their own selfish schemes to destruction, it is
not singular that the English and French mer
chants in China should have mudo the most
strenuous exertions both to procure the re
jection of the treaty by the l'ekin govern
ment, and to throw discredit upon the char
acter of the embassy itself. They likewise
practised a refinement of revenge in having
u go auroaa mai u is me treaty with the
United States which is rejected, thereby seek
ing to afnx a stigma on the accredited head of
tho embassy as well as on the general autho
rity under which it acted.
In working Mr. Browne, the innnodia3
successor of Mr. Bnrliugame, into their pro
ject, they shrewdly found an instrument al
ready inclined to their own views. He left the
Faciflc coast to enter upon his duties as Miu
isterwith all the (California prejudices against
the Chinese strong upon him. If he has gone
so rcprehensibly out of his way in making a
reply to the address of British merchants at
Shanghao, as to gratuitously denounce the
poliey of Mr. Burlingaine, the reason of his
sudden recall will be at one Rnn.irnt. and
the necessity for a personal vindication of
uis cominet very urgent. For he must know
m will oh Mr. B.ulijijjamc does, uaj i-ppru.-i-
ale the fact as thoroughly as Ids own Govern
ment, that it is for the interest of tho United
States that this piratical system of English
and French merchants should be thwarted.
And it cannot have escaped his reflection that
the snrest way of. doing that is by engaging
foreign governments by treaty to recognize
and respect none but tho central government
of tho empire. If his convictions lay in the
olher direction, it belonged to him as a man
of ordinary candor to make the truth known
on being nominated as Mr. Burlingame's suc
cessor. Vfe should be glad to allow for any misap
prehension of the truth of this whole matter
which moy yet be exposed, but if that should
not occur, it will remain with Mr. Browne to
clear up the shadow that lies across his brief
career as a diplomatist. If his sentiments
are in fact an reported, and he is willing to
feocome the instrument, or tool, of foreign
merchants in China for tho disadvantage of
his own country, by assisting in dismantling
tho Chinese Imperial Government, it is sim
ply a matter for common congratulation that
his diplomatic life was brought to an end be
fore his aptness for public mischief was sup
plemented by his ability.
HEALTH OF THE EMPEHOIl NAPOLEON.
From the X. Y. WorUl.
The disquieting apprehensions respecting
the illness of the French Emperor, which
have lately filled Taris with coustornalion,
and spread anxiety through every European
capital, are allayed by an authentic statement
that his indisposition was not really serious,
and that he has so far recovered from it as to
be able to give his attention to affairs of
state. This reassuring news relioves tho fears
tif Europe for tho time being; but it cannot
efface the painful impression that fho tran
quillity of Franco, and perhaps tho peace of
(ho world, hangs by so frail a thread as tho
life of a man whose physical vigor is supposed
to bo drained almost to tho point of exhaus
tion. Tho age of the Emperor is not so ad
vanced that it should cause every transient
illness to be regarded as the forerunner
of a fatal change. He is but ono year
older than Gladstone; he is there years
younger than Disraeli; and everybody thinks
of these statesmen ns still in tho prime of a
vigorous activity. But Napoleon has been a
man of pleasure, as well as of study, labor,
and bminess; and there is an impression that
exhausting passions have supped his constitu
tion. Bo this as it may, his sagacity and in
tellectual force seem of late years to have do
sorted him. Since the Prussian war and the
ill-starred Mexican expedition, there has been
a great decline of his prestige, and the elec
tions of this year show that his influence tot
ters in all tho cities and large towns of
France. He has taken the elections to heart,
and initiated changes which hold out the hope
of a government that will express the collec
tive sense of the nation rather than the per
sonal will of an individual ruler. If ho should
be cut off in the midst of this experiment,
with his former system a confessed failure
nnd the neiv system not yet established, it is
probable that France would flounder through
a terrible period of revolution and anarchy,
of which no man is wise enough to predict liie
issue.
The alarm which has attended the recent
illness of the Emperor supplies one of the
strongest arguments which this ago has fur
nished against what is called personal govern
ment. There have been low instances in
modern history of the government of a nation
by the will of a single individual, so success
ful, and on tho whole so beneficial, as the
government of France by Napoleon tho Third,
during the first twelve years of his reign. The
first twelve years of his illustrious uncle as
Fiist Consul and Emperor were indeed more
splendid and dazzling; but tho material
prosperity of France has never been mora
remarkable than under the present Emperor.
But a brief period of prosperity, lo be fol
lowed by an era of confusion and calamity,
does not realize the ideal of good govern
ment. Prosperity that cannot propagate
itself, that makes no provision for its own
perpetuity, seems rather an accident in the
life of a nation than the legitimate fruit of a
settled system. But the prosperity that at
tends personal government is genendly of this
transient, accidental character. The two
most splendid reigns in the French annals
that of Charlemagne and that of the first Na
poleon were followed by periods of distrac
tion and humiliation. Great men at tho head
of a nation are exceptions in the world's his
tory; and even great men succeed in govern
ment only by embodying tho spirit of the age
and giving effect to the wishes of the nation
over which they rule. The essence of political
greatness consists in a quick and intuitive
perception of the wants and aspirations of
tho people, and in tho ability to de
vise measures for satisfying the na
tional cravings. A man of great genius
may sometimes govern a people moro
wisely than they could have governed them
selves, because ho sees with clearness what
they only grope after vaguely, and is able to
reach at onco, by a stroke of ready sagacity,
conclusions which they would have arrived at
iLperfttly, after much hesitation and de
bate But the misfortune is, that a nation
which, has a ruler to think for it loses by dis
uso tho faculty of thinking and planning for
itself; and if that ruler has not an equally
ablo successor, the capacity for good govern
ment becomes extinct on his death. Genius
is tho rare gift of Providence; and the
habits and training which fit a people for
self-government are not the gift of a sud
den emergency but the slow growth of
time. It is better that the business of
government should be somewhat rudely per
formed under a system that secures its
owu perpetuity, thiui that a nation should
enjoy transient flashes of prosperity to be
succeeded by periods of imbecility or tur
l ulence.
There has never been a time, since the first
French Revolution, when the sudden death
of any man in England or tho United States
would have endangered tho safety, or even
the tranquillity, of either nation. Pitt had a
greater ascendancy over England than any
other statesman of his time; but he was out
of office for several years before his death,
and it was after his death and without his aid
that England made the colossal exertions by
which Napoleon was dethroned and sent into
exile. Even Washington was never necessary
to the success of our great experiment of free
government. He was not active in originat
ing our Constitution, and was drawn by tho
persuasion of others to consent to be a mem
ber of (he convention that framed it. In
that body he merely acted the dumb part of
presiding officer, contributing not an idea
nor a suggestion. He was a wise but not a
brilliant President, and was so far from
being fertile in ideas or measures that he
originated nothing duriug his eight years
administration, and made no other contribu
tion to the success of the Government than
tho prestige of his great uuine. England and
the United States have lost mauy statesmen
who were deeply and sincere) mourned; but
the legret bus always been merely roverential
Jiul iXvcUiiiuttf, und licwr i-i uny ono iu-
stsnrs accompanied with mlfrivlngs that th
country would not be as well governed as
before. This well-grounded feeling of per
manence and security i one of the chief ad- ;
vantages of representative government, which
trains political capacity in such abundance,
and affords such ready channels for pnblio
opinion to act upon rulers, that the national
roiperity is never felt to be staked upon tho
ife of one man.
Personal government seldom operates well
during the whole life even of an ablo and sa
gacious mler. The early part of such a reign
is generally better than its latter end. Such
a ruler, at the outset of his reign, establishes
his ascendancy by representing the spirit and
carrying out the real wishes of his nation;
but he is apt to bo intoxicated by success,
filled with overweening confidence in him
self, and tempted Into undertakings
which aro promoted merely by tho aspira
tions of personal vanity or thirst lor glory,
and not by the felt wants of his people
Yhon he posses into this stage, he bo
comes as dangerous as he had previously
been useful; tho overbearing ascendancy
acquired by his past career exempting him
from every check but that which comes too
Into by disaster and mortification. It was by
such overweening egotism, spurning all ad
vice, that tho first Napoleon was hurried into
his fatal Russian campaign. It was by obey
ing the aspirations of hU own vanity, unsup
ported by tho public sentiment of France,
that tho present Emperor mode his great mis
take of tho Mexican expedition. There is
no safety for any people, even with tho ablest
rulers, unless there is soma regular ma
chinery for bringing tho public intelligence
to act upon tho government ond restraining
the vagaries to which statesmen are subject
when a successful career has inspired them
with a foolish belief in their personal infalli
bility or omnipotence.
Louis Napoleon has at length discovered
but, unless his life is still prolonged for a few
years, has discovered too late that tho only
security for the permanence of his dynasty
consists in political institutions which will
bring the Government under tho control of
the national will. If ho should bo taken away
now, while tho change is merely initiated but
not established, and his son a mere boy re
quiring the tutelage of a regency, his influ
ence probably would not survive him for
three months. It needs his strong hand and
his experience to steady the now institutions
until time and uso shall render them self-acting.
If ho is sparod for this work, and ac
complishes it in a sagacious, liberal spirit, ho
limy transmit his authority, greatly retrenched
and curtailed, to his son. Tho tranquillity of
France is staked upon his success in this post
poned and belated task.
