NICHOLSON MONDAY EVENING, AUG. 8, 1881. IN THE COUNTRY. Any one visitintTf occasionally, the country parishes, especially the cotton districts in the highlands, will mark with surprise the changes which are taking place. Of course he will not expect to find any striking degree of prosperity.

At first sight he will be inclined to think that affairs are not at all promising, and if his conclusions be formed from the statements of planters who belong to the class of pessimists, this ob server will believe that agricultural interests are in a very poor state in deed. More careful investigation, how ever, will convince him that, under lying seeming poverty and demoralization, are the foundations of a pros perity more substantial and en during than supported the showier, but really hollow, structure which was reared ob a slavery basis. It has necessarily taken a long time for the planters of the old school to order of the war. apprehend truly the new things determined by At the close of the strug gle they were in the humor to ex claim, like Francis 1'after Pa via, that all was lost save honor. The tre men dons transformations in their circumstaces produced by the war.

and the entire revolution in the an dent agricultural methods, almost paralyzed their energies, so that many made scarcely any efforts to repair then broken fortunes. Indeed, the obstacles in the way of a return to prosperity seemed well nigh in superable, and the 'assertion that more cotton would be raised after, than before the war, would have been regarded as an absurd proposition, or the singular vaticination of a too sanguine prophet. The improvement hascome go gradually that its progress has been hardly noticed. Both the planter and the laborer have been slow to themselves to the changed conditions which surround tbem: but the relations between the em ployer and the employed seem now to be fast settling down on a solid and permanent basis. The negro laborer comprehends pretty clearly what must be his relations with the whites, and the responsibilities devolved upon him by emancipation.

He realizes the vitally important fact that his future depends entirely on his own individual efforts, and that he must no longer rely on the magnificent promises made to him by persons whose interest it was to play upon his credulity. In fine, the averacre necrro eives less thought to politics now than to plans for the betterment of his material condition. With this new way of thinking has come a slight improvement on the shiftless, improvi dent habits of the race, and more consideration is given to methods of economy. We do not believe that an 7 unprejudiced observer, who trav els through the country and makes a general survey of the con dition of the colored population, can truthfully report that the aver age negro is such a miserable downtrodden wretch as Parson Conway and others of that breed represent him to be. We are absolutely certain that there is not an honest, industrious negro in this State who may not easily gain a livelihood, and that with comparatively lit tle physical exertion.

We say comparatively with reference to the same class of laborers in other countries, ana even those in the Northern and Western States. At all seasons he can readily find work and command reasonable wages, or he may farm on his own account. The tenantry system most widely adopted is exceedingly favorable to the lessee. As a rule the tenant may cultivate as much land as he is able at a merely nom inal rate of rent. In a few cases the landowner exacts a tithe of the crop raised in payment of the rent.

The number of negroes who have acquired land in fee simple is no doubt small, but has recently largely increased. As long as the proprietors of plantations can lease their estates they, naturally enough, are indisposed' to seUtheni, particularly where they can derive a revenue of from 10 to 25 per eent, on the assessed value of the land, by locating tenants upon it. This plan of cultivation has augmented: the value of real property in some of the cotton districts. It must be admitted that the negro is, in certain respects, an Tin satisfactory tenant. Possessing neither the means to improve the land, cor the foresight to understand the necessity for restoring the fer tility of the soils exhausted by the continual cultivation of cotton, he is forced to chancre about from one locality to another in search of new land.

Again, conscious of his landlord's in ability' to enforce the collection of rents against a tenant who may pos sess no attachable property the pay ments of the debts he may owe the landholder usually gives him little concern. His relations to the mer chant are different. A failure to liquidate the bills presented at the end of the year will cat of his source of supplies. The cotton planters are giving more attention to the diversification of their crops and the raising of corn, hogs and stock. They realize that it is better to produce their sup plies at home than to purchase them from the West.

The cultivation of potatoes has of late received an ex traordinary degree of attention from the fact that this crop can be raised. early in the season, and readily disposed of for cash. Many planters have also found it profitable to raise oats, millet, and various species of grasses. An illustration of what is being done in this direction is the fact that on one plantation in Rapides 600 tons of hay were made this year. In conclusion we can say that the aspect of agricultural affairs in this State is decidedly more favorable than for some time past.

Substantial improvements are to be observed in all sections. The introduction of the wire fence has rendered it prac ticable to enclose lands at a comparatively small cost. Old fields, which have remained untouched since the war, are being cultivated again. and the number of producers is every day being augmented by the division of plantations into farms. A promising indication is perceived in the circumstance that a numerous class of white farmers.

who work small places on their own account, and with the labor supplied by thesnselves and families, has lat terly become an important factor in the agricultural prosperity of the State. Louisiana. The West Baton Rouge Sugar Planter says: One of the benefits resulting from connecting Katon bv rail with New OrleanB is seen in the redaction of fare between those nomts bv steamers. ine jesse iv. lie 11 win case passengers tne rouna trip ior i frettv soon the coast packets will fall into line for tne same amount ana tnen passengers will have a choice between water and raj).

The same paper savs that in a short time a train will leave Baton Ronee at 6 a. oi. ior is ew uneans and return the a same day, giving persons a stay of five hocrs in the city. This will be a decided' improvement on tbe time table as at present adopted, leaving Baton Rouge at 1 21.. ana arriving in jvew Or leans at 8.

Statistics gathered by the Census Bureau of the cotton factories in the South show that since the war these factories nave paid an average dividend of 23 per cent. This is a larger profit than any other class of permanent investments in the country have yielded. The certain dividends these factories yield are tempting millions of dollars of Northern capital into the South. Much of this capital has been taken from the Massachusetts factories, and it was a knowledge of this fact that inspired Senator Dawes to make a bitter attack on the South in the Senate last winter, daring which he made statements that were easily proven to be false and malicious. But there is no fear of Mr.

Dawes being moved by a spirit of manliness to rise in his seat in tbe Senate next winter and acknowledge his error. Louisville Courier Journal. Ldie Saving in St. Tammany. Last Wednesday afternoon a colored boy fell into the river from the wharf at Madisonville, and his cries for help attracted the attention of Capt.

Henderson, a brave old tar," who plunged into the river and saved the boy's life. The action of Capt. Henderson was particularly heroic, owing to the fact that the water was very deep, and he did not know how to swim Ue just seized the boy in time, and managed to reach the shore with him somehow or other." On Thursday evening a little white girl by the name of Bessie Shearer, fell into the river near Mr. Gauntier's house, in Govington, but was saved from drowning by Prof. Richard, of New Orleans, who jumped into the river and rescued her, Covington Farmer, 6tk.

Families possessing slaves now are not to be deprived of their property in them, but no new slaves are to be admitted. LATEST TELEGRAPH CRITICAL. The Operation on the Presi dent.

The Mistakes of the Doctors. Great Public Anxiety. BraciAi. ro thb PioATmrm, Washington, Aug. There was a wide margin last evening between the talk of the President's physicians and the opinion of intelligent observes.

Dr. Bliss was free in his assertion that there was no reason to apprehend the ex istence of another nus cavity or any stoppage of the channel by which the pus Mows to the surface. Despite these statements the general belief of well informed persons was that the situation was grave and that another operation would have to be made very soon. This morning at 8 o'clock a medical bulletin was issued, reassuring in its general expression but not satisfactory as respects the temperature of the pa tient. immediately alter this bulletin was issued the same doctors proceeded to perform an operation on President Oar held, even more serious than that which was performed on the occasion of the President's relapse a few davs since.

It is stated that the President bore tbe operation well, but it is apparent from the guarded terms of this bulletin that it is not possible vet to estimate the full effect of the operation on his exhausted frame, or tell whether it will remove the particular mischief or cause of his recent dangerous symptoms. There has been a good deal of outside iaiK aoons cutting xor tne Dail. out in spite of assertions to the contrary, the doctors are not able to locate the ball with precision, and of course an opera tion to cut it out would be made at random. The confident statement of Messrs. Buss.

Rev burn and the other doctors that the ball passed through the liver is now abandoned by every one. and con fidence in their treatment of the case weakened. since tnelr operation ox tbis morning tne pnysicians are very guarded and re ticent, declining to answer any ques tions. Secretary Blaine was present in the White House during the operation. He went in pale and anxions, but came out looking more cheerful.

Prom which fact some persons infer that feeling oi tne pnysicians is more sanguine than oei ore tne last incisions were made. It is bevond oueotion that the Presi dent's situation is still critical, and the public aniety la naturally great. THE WHITE HOUSE. The PreeMent Passes a Camfertable Mgku Washington. Aug.

He was etherized. The incision entered downward and forward, and a counter opening was made into the track of the ball below the margin of the fourth rib, which, it is believed, will effect the desired object.

Owing to the lateness of the hour at which the excursionists arrived from Baton Rouge on Monday morning, many interesting incidents connected there with were necessarily omitted in the brief report as published in the morning papers, tne most important of wmcn was the kind and brotherly feeling that existed between the veterans who wore the blue and the veterans who wore the gray." The nrst reference was made by the representative of the latter, on bidding a nearty welcome to all present from New Orleans, in the hall of the State University, which culminated in the few kind remarks made by Col.

Joseph Collins. exDressiifg nvmnathv at the sufferings of the wounded President and hearty condemnation of the brutal and cowardly act by which he is prostrated. After the applause, which followed this reference to President Garfield, had subsided, Capt. William Wright, who so ably aud warmly replied to the good feeling now existing between the old Confederate commands and the mem bers of the Grand Army of te Republic, was again called upon to respond on the part of the Government of the United States, wherein the sentiments expressed by the Mayor, Col. Chalaron.

Capt. Wax, Marshal Bates and Gen.
