THK i LAItOH QUESTION IN HOUTII
; , " ."- - CAUOLINA.
JVom fVie ChurUrton Sew.'
The Orangeburg Xcitt says emphatically
'tint where farmers do not ?ct what hand
IhoYWHtit this vear "'tis tlioir own fault,"
ftf uch land has boon noil ls colored men, who
' are bnildincr and M'Ulinff nnon ilj but this
. docs not hinder farmers from contracting
ith these very men. A jentlonian in the
' fcoonty hart rented lands to families all aronnd
him. The mon of these families are to work
i In his contract for one-third, as heretofore.
1 The women are allowed to work the land
, rented to the family, the owner having a lien
on tbeir crop for the payment or tne rent.
The owner, also, bv the terms of the contraot,
. at certain times can call on all the hands at so
much per day to work In his crop, ibis rar
mor always has as many hands as he wants.
Hy this arrangement, says our contemporary,
the colored man has his home, his family
" workingforhiniandforthemseryes. The owner
of the land has hands lor ah tne iana ne wants
, to ulnnt for himself, and the rent of it is
tented out to cood paving tenants. Now,
even suppose the land is sold, instead of
rented, to these families, the same plan can
operate, and the same seourity is given for
hands for the planter, and a lien seenres the
payment for the purchase of the land. And
this latter is better, inasmuch as the seourity
to both is permanent and not temporary, for
one year. The colored man is settled and
happy, and the planter has hands aronnd him
ready at his command. Mutual forbearance
and kindnesses on either side will seonre con
tentment and prosperity to both. The col-
- ored man is not avaricious he is satisfied
with comfort. By this means he realizes the
. ' wish of his heart to have a home. lie is
elevated as a man and a laborer. He has
" every inducement to be honest as a man and
Industrious as a laborer. He is rendered
contented and happy. It takes Tory little to
make him happy, and he has a right to be
happy. Without some such plan as this, the
same difficulty will arise each year for nandx.
And it will inorease every year, for the col
ored man is resolved to have a home and a'
start in life. '
.These calm and sensible words are well
worthy of general consideration. Colored
' labor is the only labor that we can command;
colored people have the political control of
the State. Surely, then, it is wiser to make
the colored men onr friends and fellow-labor
ers in a common causo, than to aggravate the
distrust and dislike which are already too bit-
ter and too deep for the good of our State and
people. ... .
MARS ON THE PLATFORM.
. ffWH the K'T. World.
It is onr duty to present to the attention of
the reader Major-General S. B. Roberts, and
to solicit for him major-general admiration as
. an author and an- orator. Of his feats of
arms we know little, for there is less than
little worth knowing; of his vocal range and
volume we are left to surmise; of his literary
capacity, a small green pamphlet, nine inches
. one way by six tne otner, and containing
.. nineteen pages of plunging panegyric, which
, , nas come into our possession, enables us
- to form a judgment. Its purpose is to set
. I forth the services and characteristics of
' 1 - General Grant, and the title-page informs us
'. . that it was delivered before the faculty and
students of iale College in lHOft, and that the
legislature of Connecticut, jealous of the
aoadomio monopoly of so muoh eloquence,
. by. unanimous petition, backed up by the
t tears of the speaker and by the prayers of the
chaplain and the clamerous solicitation of the
,,. local clergy, procured its repetition before
them during the year ensuing. Since then its
melodious cadences have slept in silence
unless the author may now and then have
j hummed or whistled thorn on dress-parade
until the appearance of the pamphlet we have
, . referred to. The General was not content to
live merely in the transient memories of un
dergraduates and tne muddled reminiscences
of rustio legislators. He invokes a wide an-
dience. His ambition is not unreasonable,
- ana we wiu neip mm to its realization, i
The bees, it is said, swarmed about the
mellifluous lips of Plato before he was
waddled, and their hum and honey prefigured
' the music and sweetness which in after time
mould flow from the lips aforesaid. . What
Snseots may have clustered about the infant
,. aperture oi tne jaajor-uenerai it is not easy
' ' to conjecture. . Perhaps they were blue
bottles. They make a good deal of noise of a
confused and incoherent character, and these
. ,'k qualities exactly prefigure the qualities of the.'
' and rery long, and very incomprehensible.
liike the idol-breakers of the Crusades, the
orator strews his way with broken images:
' Cracked ngures or nneecn. mutilated troDes.
; ' and all the dinjecta membra of a savage verbal
" Iconoclast, lie is the centre of a stupendous
' system of meteoric adjectives, which decline
to swing in regular rhetorioal orbits, but
llame in erratic parabolas and wide semi-
. ' circles, plunging into eaoh other now and
tnen, and issuing in general connaeTation.
' n . 'We have employed a good many figures of
' " speech in shadowing forth some of the char
acteristics of the General's style, but onr ex.
cuse must be that ordinary language is not
. , adequate to tne purpose. . . ,
The essay contemplates a general survey of
Grant's career, from the tanyard of Galena to
the Executive Mansion. The rapid traasition
from one office to the other kindles the mind
' of the orator to a pitch of volcanic fervor.
v 'Mrs. Grant," he says, referring to the Gene
ral s simple rue at ualena, "who then spread
' a frucal dinner, laid bv her willinir and helo
Ing hands, was content to appear in matronly
calicoes and dimities immaculate and fresh
from the laundry. . Now the vexation and
worry, of her life are to find appropriate
. poiit-laoe from Btns&ela looms and satins
, ' .', from Lyons mills to grace the table where
., twenty courses are spread," etc. This is col
oulated to leave upon the mind of the unwary
' tne impression that Mrs. Grant serves up
Soint-labe and Lyons to her guests in plaoe of
inde aux t runes, supreme de volaille, and
cotelettes a la Maintenon. Are such the
prandial usages at the White House? If so,
' there are probably camels-hair shawls for
' dessert ' and brocade peplnms br way of
7tor$,(f(mvrei. "Contrabands," he continues,
"in pure white kids (an unconstitutional

i steward ought to be impeached) "and Bid

. ary and mncilagenous attire) "'attend, in the
' atatelinesa f royal livery, to pour Burgundy

t , plenipotentiaries whone arms are 'quartered
with kingly crests." It Is interesting to be
Informed by authority so unquestionable that

has been winnowed from the earth and a
new divinity has been impregnated.
"There are numerous instances," he says, "of
the elevation of men from places of obscurity
to thrones and empires. But they have been
the creatures of chance;" and they have been
a number of things and not been a number of
other things. All of which the speaker re

ner consciousness, the orator finds the key of
the mystery. It is Grant's "automony
which has done the business. . No manual of
terminology with which we are acquainted
casts light upon the meaning of this mysteri
ous polysyllable, and its obscurity impels us
into labrynths of conjecture. What is it ?
An organ 7 An attribute t A new style oi
hat ? A talisman ? Grant's "automony," we
are told, is perfect, and that is why he won
the battle of bhiloh and got eieoted to tbe
Presidency. The man of genius, on the
other ' hand, has an imperfect "auto
mony," and can never become truly
great. He is a machine with a
screw loose, and he fails "when relative
homogeneity of powers succeed." Grant, he
thinks, is not a man of genius, but is made of
ttterner stuff. He prooeeds to liken him first
to a woven fabrio, tnen to a fresco, and then
to a mosaic; to which similitudes is appended
the certification that he is "dyed in the wool
If he had commanded Wellington's army in
the Peninsula, instead of lurking behind the
lines of Torras Vedras, he would have stormed
Madrid. If he had entered Moscow as Na
poleon did he would have wintered there
and had private theatricals in the Kremlin.
If -he had led a host to Egypt, he would
have snapped his fingers at the disaster of
Aboutur and rioted on rnaraoh s flesh
pots. This is high praise, and when it is
bestowed by one general upon another it
is bo very high as to be not easily dis
tinguishable from satire. In truth, the
eulogy of General Roberts throughout is of
much too robust and in'mrpnrate a charaoter,
If it were applied to Juhun Ctcsar or Alex
ander of Macedon, it would-, be preposterous
adulation. If its purpose were to bring its
subject into derision, such purpose could not
have been better subserved. Ine essay ex
hibits the peril which is apt to attend the
warrior when he takes np an nnwonted wea
pon. It is possible that General Roberts
might make a respectable figure at the head
of a regiment or brigade; out nis initial
escapade in literature is calculated to strike
more terror to the bosoms of his friends than
his sword ever Zii to the bosoms of his
foes. The soldier whom lie so indiscreetly
seeks to honor cannot feel obliged to him
for his doubtless well-meant, but clumsy and
blundering, panegyrio; and the most oour
teous wish we can indulge towards tne writer
is that his little pamphlet may never reach
the modest and worthy gentleman whom it
daubs with such merciless and preposterous
adulation.
THE WHITE MAN'S FBIEND.
Tremthell. Y. Tribvne. ,'
In that episode of the protracted debate on
tbe Virginia question in the Senate which
particularly marked the 13th of January, an
affecting incident occurred well calculated to
revive many fainting souls ana to energize
many weary znjrids of the Gaucasian persua
sion. . It has been a matter of complaint tnat
during tbe deliberations of .the banate upon
the Virginia matter, bo much should have
been said of sable . and , so little of Heater
colored Americans; and, upon the day men
tioned, Mr. Trumbull bud expressed mild
doubts of the true friendship of Mr. Sumner
for Americans of African descent, or rather
of the real value of that friendship; and Mr.
Sumner had, of course, responded, most un
necessarily, we think, however briefly. It
was just at this time that the white man.

TOE PRESIDENTIAL, ELECTION CLOSE
AT HAND WHERE STAND THE
DEMOCRACY?
From the IT. T. Sun.
We take it for granted that the Democrats
intend to make a strenuous effort to carry the
next residential election.1 It will be high
time to do so, unless they wish to pans into
history bIohu with the old Federalists, for it
will then be sixteen years since meysuoceeued
in a national contest even ty a plurality of
votes, and twenty years since tney elected a
rresident by an absolute majority. This is a
lone time in this fast age i and if the De
mocracy rail in 1S7Z, tney wui nnd it very
difficult to keep up their organization ' by
hopes that have been so oiten blasted, and b
promises that seem destined never to be f
filled.
The Democratic party, then, must triumph
in 1872, or dissolve. But while the leaders
are beginning to loos around Tor tne princi
ples and the candidates wherewith to make a
strucrcle for victorv. wo will call their atten
tion to an historio precedent or fact which
bears very closely upon the main question,
and whose consideration tney cannot longer
afford to postpone. From the year 1826 down
to the present time, the party which has
secured a majority of the House of Repre
sentatives at the election held in the middle
of a Presidential term, has invariably chosen
its candidate ior tne presidency two years
afterwards. There has not been an exception
to this rule in the last forty-four years; and
we trace it no further back, because it was in
182(, in the middle of John Quincy Adams'
. A it. ! t t J! '1.1
ierm, iuui me lines wnica nave uiviueu par
ties since the Monroe ep ch began to be
clearly traoed. i
There have been t vo or three seeming ex-
cent ions to this rule; but, when closely ex
amined, they will prove to be striking exem
plifications of it. t or example, take the case
of the House which elected Mr. Banks Speaker
in the middle of 1'ierce s administration. ; It
was composed of three parties, of which the
Democrats were - tne strongest, though still
only a minority of the whole number. The
subsequent Presidential election faithfully
reflected the state or parties in the House of
Representatives. , Three candidates rau, and
though Mr. Buchanan was chosen, he received
only a minority ot tne popular vote.
'xhere is a pniiosopny underlying this re
markable historio fact; but we pass over it,
and deal only with the fact itself. The party.
then, which shall carry the next Congress
will elect the next .resident; and nenoe, the
struggle, for the occupancy of the White
House after the close of lien. (Jrant s admin
istration will practically be carried on and de
cided, not In 1872, but in this present year;
and it will begin as early as August, when
some of the States hold Congressional elec
tions. , ' , i.
And now, gentlemen of the Democratic
party, what is the platform of principles on
which you expect to elect a majority of . tha
House of ltepresentatives this coming summer
and fall t Xs it to be the financial program
proclaimed by Mr. Mungen on the door of
Congress, or that just delivered by Governor
Hoff man to tbe New York Legislature ? Is it
to be an approval of the fifteenth amendment
according to John Quincy Adams, or its nulli
fication according to YYidiam M. Tweed r la
it to bo tbe forcible expulsion of Republican
members from the Georgia Legislature, er
tbe voluntary exodus of Democratic members
from the Indiana Legislature ? Is it to bs
free Cuba, free trade, and free voting? or is it
to be a tirade against everything bearing the
name free, including the old Democratic doc
trine of free suffrage, to be followed by a
revival of the proscriptive Enow-Nothing
creed, with a general onslaught upon all races
of men who will not bow down and worship
the wooden Indian over the portals of St.
Tammany ? ' j
We do not advise, but only suggest to ' tha
Doroocracy that time presses, and that they
wonld do well to remove the debris of their
two last platforms, and erect a new one in
tbeir stead without delay. '
