COLUMBIA. Wednesday Morning, October 8.1887 "Impedimenta" ml the Sooth. We were talking with some friends, tho other day, concerning tho merits ol a now loom, which professes to weave all kinda of fabrics, from a silk dress to a rag carpet, and was not very much surprised when one of them said, "It'snil a humbug," "Yan? kee invention," &o. Wo have so long heard those phrases used against every new and useful invention ?ought to be introduced at the South, that it ocoasioned bnt little surprise . when we heard them repeated in the conversation alluded to. We have been on plantations, where we saw the looms in general use-rough, hard-working machines, entirely ignorant of any higher grade cf car? penter's tools than a jack-plane; and yet we ventnre to say, that if one of these smooth-working, perfect ma? chines had been brought into tba weaving room, Aunts Dinah and Boee would have tamed up their noses and jumped off their rude, unpinned board, and left indignantly. In Gen. Sheridan's former Military District, where he plied his high vo? cation and privilege of removing civil officers, from the highest to the lowest, the invariable pretext was that they were "impediments" to reconstruction. The New Orleans Picayune, in an amusing article, takes np the subject of "impedi? ments," and maintains that the labor? saving machines which are beginning to be introduced from the North are regarded by the freedmen "as cop? per-heads with steel arms, and as natural enemies of the colored man." AB a consequence, they will have nothing to do with them. The Pica? yune says that the freed people see in these devices only the effort of the "rebel" to make himself or herself independent of African muscle, and are determined, so long as they re? main on the place, these dreaded simplifiers and economizers of force shall not be employed. The Pica? yune relates some amusing instances of this inbred antipathy to the new-1 fangled machines, one or two of which we quote. Speaking of a friend in the country, it sajs: "He provided himself with a full set of the most modern and best approved agricultural implements, and having selected out of a hundred the ten best, most willing and trusty bauds, for a full, hearty and fair trial of emancipated labor, he went cheer? fully to work to arrange for making cotton and corn. But, to his dismay, his favorite and picked negroes, who believe him to be both 'good and smart,' were, nevertheless, utterly opposed to using these new-fangled instruments. They knew how to plough with the hull tongue and the turning plow *. in the black? smith shop; th. were handy with the hoe; they pr -red to work thus. When he urged tnem to try the new implements, insisting upon it, they promptly declared that they would not; it was a new scheme to avoid paying the black man, and they would have none of it. What was their surprise the next day, to see their young and slenderly built mas? ter with a pair of mules hitched to Satterly's gang plow, tearing over the field and turning over a sod they had never been able to reach before, and to find by night that he had dis? pensed with the labor of several of them. But, during the entire year, he has never been able to get one of them to touch one of these imple? ments, though he had often demon? strated their use and usefulness." Speaking of a friend in the c y, the Picayune says: "He procured early this year a washing machino. He was satisfied of its vast saving of time and its im? proving tho cleanliness and saving the wear of his family's Unen ; so was his wife. But the servant was not so well pleased. Many criticisms were made upon it, and uncommon awkwardness displayed in using it. Finally, the servant found herself too delicate in health to do the washing. Another was hired to do it, and 'Bridget,' for such was the name given the machine, was exhibited to her, and its use practically demon? strated. She, however, also looked on with suspicion and dislike. 'Dat was no way to do. White folks gettin' smart! Bimc-by dey'll have no use for niggers! Do old way's de bess. If I'm ?wino to do de washing, I's gwine to do it de ole way!' So she went on the old way. The mistress of the house had many cares, and was in somewhat impaired health; but having got strong and hearty again of late, she concluded to see that Bridget was no longer neglected. So, tho other day, she had it brought out just as thoy were getting ready for the washing. 'What for?' 'To do the washing. It must bo done -- ?.. ? ? . ? with th? machine.' But Aunt Palay ahrunk from the contamination. Support oopper-heads and rebels? Yee; but never allow this dispenser with the trade of, washerwoman to touch her hands. Sbe orept away. The lady waited long, and then looked for her. She was not to be soon. But this did not balk the ii rm resolve. The fire was Btirred, the Boiled linen was put in tho machine, the boiling ands poured over, and the maohine put to work. Just as she was about to put them through the wringor, Aunt Patsy, who had been bid away, peeping at the process so successfully carried on, re-appeared on the scene and prayed to be allow? ed to hang them Up. AU that is wanting to remove these * 'impediments" to practical recon? struction, under our new regime of labor, is tho determination evinced in the two cases named above. It will not do to fold our hands and quietly submit to the whims anti pre? judices of our former slovos. They have, under the former system, kept the white master or mistress com? pletely at their mercy, and rendered them entirely dependent upon their servants for all the household and plantation labor required. Now is a good opportunity for the white house? keepers and farmers to release them? selves from tliis thraldom. If they have to dispenee with colored labor altogether, it would be much better to send to the North for such addi? tional aid as is indispensable for mode? rate farming, and for a housekeeper to do her own washing, until tho colored laborers and servauts learn to know that all labor-saving machines are as much for their benefit as for that of their employers. With such determination, made and carried out generally, the reconstruction of the South would be certain, early and complete, although politically it should go irretrievably to tho dogs. At a meeting of the "Ladies* So? ciety in aid of the Suffering and Desti? tute Poor of the Soutb," it was de? termined to extend the time of the grand entertainment and distribution of awards of the Society, to Satur? day, December 28, 1867. Tho books of registration of tickets will rosi Trvjiiiy close on that date, and tho Committee of Associate Gentlemen of Honorary Members will commence the distribution of awards. The Charleston News, ot yester? day, contains the valedictory of Geo. R. Cathcart, Esq., who, as managing editor and co-partner, has been con? nected with tho paper since its incep? tion. Difference of opinion as to the political course of the pa_ier is as? signed as the cause of the withdrawal of Mr. Cathcart. Wo wish him ample success iu whatever business he may embark.

Bonnets, after being driven forward on the head by the advanc? ing chignon until there was danger of j those fearfully and wonderfully made ] head pieces falling over the nose, have thrown up a rampart as a bar? rier against the encroaching chignon. This rampart the modistes call a dia? dem. Tue crowns are somewhat larger than tho microscopic affairs of the summer. The fall cloaks will be adorned with trimmings or figures that look like hieroglyphics, propo? sitions in Euclid and Japanese official documenta. Altogether, the fall styles aro very original and striking, and the ladies will have plenty of oc? cupation to select the most becoming for themselves.

JACK AND THE BEAN STALK.-This fairy tale of the good old times has heretofore been regarded a myth; but we confess that our faith as to its truthfulness was considerably shaken, yesterday, on receiving from Colonel John T. Sloan a monster specimen of the vegetable kingdom, grown in his garden, in this city-a stalk of okra, thirteen feet high, and nine inches in circumference-on which are several pods and blossoms of proportionate size. That an axe was necessary to remove this monstrosity, it is needless to say. The Colonel informs us that this stalk is ono of several which grew in a spot near where the family washing is done, and the soap-suds are thrown on the okra bed; and he attributes their extraordinary size to this fact. Wo shall keep this stalk for Dan. Castello, and suggest to him tho propriety of placing it upright in the ring, and while one of his best riders is traveling around the circle, heels up, to request him to remove one of tho pods with his toes. Tho feat would certainly be a new one. Tho stalk is on exhibition at the Phoenix office. The seed was pur? chased from Dr. Miot. Read Udolpho Wolfe's advertise? ments in to-day's paper.
