JMew Year in the Seuth Flowers and Orange Perfumes The Outlook in Business and Politics. Special Correspondence Istellieenxep. S. AV. Ala., Jan. 1, 1880. Editors of Intelligencer: LTappy New Year te you and yours ! May you still continue prospering in your bold advocacy of Democratic principles ! Hew is the time down Seuth ? ' Boom ing,"' te use a slang word and certainly one of the most detestable that Yankee ingenuity ever coined. Creps are geed, prices excellent:, money easily gotten ( en geed security) and net a human being in our midst, hungry, naked, or cold. Bread is cheap, meat is cheap, wages are geed and we have no paupers, no beggars and no tramps. And then the weather ! Thank Ged for this bright, sunshiny Southern land ! "Why, I am writing without a fire ; the hyacinths are blooming and the mock ing bird sings his love-song te the rose all the year round. What de you think of this, you peer snow-bound Northern pee ple : Ue t you wish you could see our flowers, listen te our mocking birds, and have your brews fanned by the sweet breezes that come from the Mexican Gulf, laden with the perfume of the orange bioem ? But "this soft climate makes you dull and lazy !" Dees it ? Wc have raised 5,000,000 bales of cotton, worth 230,000,000 of dollars ; hogs, tee many for the census taker ; corn until it is a drag en the market, and wc ship beef te New Orleans, Mobile and Philadel phia te feed the hungry Republicans. In addition te this, we send staves te the vine yards of France, live oak te the ship yards, and "square and sawed pine lumber" te all the world ! And yet mere, wc preserve peace, we enforce law and have an honest Democratic government. Thanks te Southern inventive genius, a discovery has recently been made of mere importance than the cotton gin, the spinning ginny, or "the mule" of the factories. "The Clement patent'' will enable us te convert our cotton into thread directly from the seed. It has been tested. It is no longer an ex periment. With this invention every large planter can become a manufacturer, and every half dozen peer men can setup a factory. If you don't believe this write te Cel. Frank Whitfield, at Corinth, Missis sippi, who owns the patent, for a full de scription of the wonderful "0101110111 At tachment."' But enough of bragging, which I knew my dear Northern friends will say is all Southern (or rebel) gasconade. Yeu report a conversation between Gen. Gary, of Seuth Careliua and a Herald re porter. De you knew ''Mart Gary?" I sup pose net, or you would net have given him as authority for anything, and certainly you forget your old-time fairness when you permitted anything that "Mart" may have said te cause you te sneer at "the sel fishuess of Southern politicians." I am in a geed humor this blessed, warm, sunshiny New Yearjs day, or I would give you "Hail Columbia." It is a pity Southern politicians arc net selfish. I wish they were. If I had my way I would make every one of them read llelvitius ami sturdy Jeremy Bcnthatn ! Let us get back te " Mart Gary." lie is a a geed type of "Rancy Sniffle," as de scribed in Georgia scenes. He weighs about 99 in blackberry time, has sandy hair and a freckled face. His eyes are bluish gray and dance about whenever he thinks there is a chance for mischief. He is rest less and reckless, but unquestionably, " With usquebaugh will fear no evil. With aqua vitie will face the devil." The chances of war made him a briga dier, when he was net fit for a corporal. The tumult of civil disorder gave him pol itical prominence, wh en in geed times he could hardly have aspired te the dignity of Justice Slender and, ten te one, would have played the part of " my nephew, Simple." And this is the man that Wade Hampton made important communications te ! Yeu ought te have known better. Wade Hampton might have talked te Beb Toombs, because he knows, although Toombs is crack-brained and represents no one in the Seuth, he is a man wonderful knowledge and unquestioned ability. But Hampton knows Gary and knows that it is no slander te call "Mart" what Thcrsy tes did Patreclus "a feel positier." One of two things is certain, the Herald man never had a conversation with Gen. Gary, or if he did, then "Mart" was only romancing, as he used te de when he was a college "seph." Suppose the conversation did take place, what of it? One lone sea bird, drifted far away from home, cannot by screaming raise a storm ; nor can one restless " rebel brigadier," way off at the Virginia springs, inspired by sulphur water and the Herald's champagne, turn this great country into an empire, and place the crown en the brew of Ulysses I. Nobody here wants empire nobody will vote for him for president. We are net loyal te the national government, te the nation or te the union, but we are loyal te Anglo-Saxen, liberty, te the great common law, as handed down from our ancestors, and te the con stitution ! We want a perpetual union of the states and a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, forever. We knew wc can only get this by patient waiting, by eternal vigilance, and the resto ration of the government te the Democrat ic party. This will come. It may net be next year, but come it will ; for we English-speaking people cannot be enslaved, nor for a long time deprived of our heredi tary freedom. I am tired of politics. The subject is net suited te this soft, mellow, genial sunshine. It is pleasanter te bask, in the sunlight, watch the fleecy clouds, listen te the mocking-bird, and believing that "all will be well" te let things things take their course, than te get mad, because "Mart Gary" says something foolish, or Gov. Garcelon gets into trouble, or Hayes "smiles and lies, as usual," or because Gen'l Grant may be Julius Cajsar and Na poleen combined. Lejk at CutTee as he struts up the street! Cuff is an American citizen he can vote, sit ou juries, held property, sue and be sued, and have a pri vate seal if he wants te, like any govern ment corporation or creation. What does he care for these things ? Hear him sing : 'A bully beat and a bully crew. And bound for New Orleans, Forty dollars en the trip. And damn your perk aud beans.'' And he jumps up and says, "Sixty dol lars a bale for cotton ! Whose gwine te Kansaw ? Net dis nigger, you bet." Little as he thinks it, Cuff is a fair specimen of the vast majority of Southern ers, lhey are content with material pros perity. The country ia growing wealthy, is accumulating property and content is taking the place of dissatisfaction. Ex periences teaches that we can live under any government, and there is a disposition te acquiesce te whatever may be the rul ing power, but although this is the case, you may depend upon the Southern vote for the Democratic candidate, unless felly should rule the councils of the party and Tildcn is forced upon the country. 11 tnat is uenc manv " will suck their thumbs'' and net vote a few will sup- pert " Grant and Empire," and the great mass of our people only give their ballets grudgingly te a man they despise. If any thing could give this state te the Republi cans it would be the nomination of Tilden. Independent of party, I prefer Grant te timid, stingy, rich old man of Gramercy park. But it is mere agreeable te talk of the geed things we have than te speculate about the bad things that may happen Wages have advanced fully 23 per cent. Last year the convict labor hired for about $7 per month. This year it has brought ever $12. While cotton is bring ing a fair price, the necessaries of life are very cheap A negre can live very well en ten cents a day. Why then should there be "an exodus of the colored people?" I tell you this exodus business is the hum bug of the age. The negrees have net gene and arc net going. The few va grant tramps who leave arc induced te de se by unscrupulous politicians and then their number is multiplied like FalstafFs "men in buckram." Mr. Shelley's inves tigating committee and Senater Windem's colonization scheme are equally use less. CutTee is doing well, and stupid as he is, he knows that the steady, strong and just government of the white Democrats is the very best protection for him. " But the negre race is decreasing is dying out." Net a bit of it. In recon struction times the mortality, especially anion;; tiic children, was fearful. It did leek as if the negre was going like the In dian. It was believed by many that the race would disappear after one or two gen erations, but there has been a change. I cannot account for it, but it is a fact, for six years past the negrees have been in creasing rapidly. The plantations, the cabins, the streets aud reads, are crowded with little black, shiny, fat negre children. The census, if proper ly taken, will show mere negre children under five years of age than was ever enumerated before. The mulattoes are decreasing. Strange as it may seem, emancipation has in a great measure put a step te amalgamation. This evil, which wc all feared, has net come upon us. In the future the two races will be purer and mere distinct in all the characteristics of each than was before. Intcr-racc mar riages never take place ; and with a law that makes " living together in adultery or fornication" by persons of different races a felony punished by imprisonment in the penitentiary staring them in the face, few men dare te defy it. White morals have improved since "freedom came;" but black morals ! Well, peer Cuflee never had any. Yeu cannot teach the peer, kindly hearted, geed-natured fellow that there is any harm in a little lying, a little petty stealing, and the gratification of his licen tious passions. Churches and schools seem te de no moral geed. The majority of negre criminals arc young members of the church, who have had the advantage of the free schools. Nearly every negre courtesan is a church member and can write a note te her sweet-heart, and se ar range an assignation "after preaching." Truly, the negre is an unsolved problem, and all speculations about him are only guesses. Let us hope he may grew wiser without losing any of the gentleness, kindness, and unbounded charity that new cover such a multitude of his sins. Oh, this soft, sweet, balmy Southern clime ! A deeper blue never hung ever the violet-crowned city of Minerva ! Mere glo rious golden sunsets never gave their rich coloring te the Italian sky ! And then the beauty of our native forest. What can equal it ? The dark pines, with the wind making music as it soughs through the feathery branches ; the deep, rich green of the magnolia, the crisp, glittering foliage of the mock orange, the long, drooping tendrils of the jessamine, almost ready te turn golden, with its budding blossoms, aud all this covered with the wavy, grace ful drapery of gray mess, make up the picture ! Can you blame one for feeling and enjoying the luxury of mere sensuous existence ! Though the Dacians had crossed the Danube, and the rude barbarian poured his hordes ever the nor thern frontier, the ex-emperor basked in the sunshine and laughingly said te depu ties, "See hew my cabbages grew. Let Grant be king and emperor, let Blaine thunder, let Thurman growl, let all the Stalwarts tear net only passions but the bloody shirt into tatters; what does it matter te us ? Our sun will shine, our skies will be blue, our weeds will be beau tiful, our cotton will grew, and sell, tee, and we will greet each New Year as we have done this,and believe "Our lines have fallen in pleasant places and we have a goodly heritage." .31.

Expert dinner-givers and diners out aud gastronomists and epicures will appreciate this menu at its true value ; but they can form but a feeble idea of its cxpensiveness, even when told that the strawberries cost fifteen cents apiece, and that thcie was an ample supply ler the twenty-eight guests who sat down te dinner. Each menu card cost, for the painting aud illuminating alone, $13, net te count the cost of the red gres grain satin scarfs, halfayaidin length and a quarter of a yard wide, te which each card was attached. Each card had its appropriate dcJ sign, conveying a delicate compli ment te the individual guest. The table, covered with gorgeous mounted pieces, was a glittering mass of Baccarat, glass, silver, geld, Sevres porcelain, flowers and fruits. The mind of an artist in such mat ters directed all the details and arranged the whele service. The room, a magnifi cent apartment 19 feet by 32 feet, with its walls glowing with pictures by the best artists of Europe and America, had all its windows decorated with Christmas gar lands, and in each window a white dove was suspended, apparently fluttering into the brilliantly lighted, glowing apartment. Rare exotics decorated the consoles, side boards, and ether furnitures of the room, as well as the table. Three hundred dol lars was expended with one florist alone for this part of the entertainment. The gentlemen of the party (it was only a family affair), were attired of course in the conventional black full dress suit of a man of society, but the costumes of the ladies were superb. All were full evening toilets, delicate colored silks, satins and velvets with any quantity of genuine laces, and all around the brillant circle glowed and flashed ever a million of dollars in diamonds, in earrings, necklaces, cresses, pendants, bracelets, combs and ornaments of every description, net te speak of the jeweled lingers. One pair of solitaire dia monds alone, worn by the wealthiest lady present, cost ever $30,000. But the most remarkable thing told of this remarkable dinner is that the gentle men though telling their wealth by mil lions displayed no jewelry, net even a dia mond stud, a seal ring or a geld watch chain.
