THE LOUISVILLE ROT.

The Louisville Journal, in reviewing the
recent deplorable riots in that city, says:
.sThat grave butrages and helnOus wrongs
were perpetrated BY Americans, when they
took the law in their own hands and sought
TO punish the murdcrers Of their countrymen
and ayengc those who had been killed and
wounded without provocation, no one viii
deny but it is useless for organs OF the An
Ii. American party to seek any longer to con-
ccal the fact that those Outrages were cont
menced BY the foreign population, that the N 81
wrongs committed We're committed By lnrelSh.
ers, that the first bloo,Isfed was the work u
foreigners, that the first murders perpetra ted
were perpetrated by foreigners. That these
foreigners were maudened and excited and
instigated to those deeds of whence by the
insidious, incendiary appeals of the organs Of
the foreign party and the demagogues and
leaders, who have for weeks past been seek
ing to arouse the passions and pfejudices oil
this class Of citizens against Americans, can
scarcely for a moment be doubted. That
these attacks upon Americans were premed,-
tated and done by concert and agreement
among the perpetrators can be and VIII be
established. An intelligent public will not,
when these facts are known, attribute these
riots to the American party, but IN spite 81
all protestations Of lamb-iike innocence, and
al attempts To misrepresent facts, the re-
sponsibilitv and the blame will be surely and
Justly brought home to its real authors. the
incendiary demagogues of the foreign, anti
American party.
I'VE will in due time present the sworn
statements Of respectable men and women
who Witnessed the while affair from tn
commencement 10 the emil, both III the FRS
and Eighth wards. Wewil then abundant
show, not only that no viulenre was perpe
tlated by Americans except IN retaliation To

tolls and bludgenns. and BY other Foreigners
Shouting out Of doors and gateways and win
duws and behind walls and fences, upon un
suspecting Americans passing upon the pub
lie streets. but that no sufficient proyocatlo
or excuse has been given BY Americans i
anv portion Of the city for any OF the ontrag
es which were committed by the Irish an
Germans. aud which really began and pro
duced the riotous excuses which We 50 muc

GOVERNOR REEDER.

The Administration has been long time in
deciding upon the expediency of removing Gov.
Reeder. That he would be Ousted we have
never had any doubt since it became evident
that he could not be used by Atchison, String
fellow & Co. in their designs to make Kansas a
Slave State. He is different man from what
he was taken to be when he was appointed. If
not in favor of making Kansas Free State, it
is very evident that he thinks the people of that
Territory should do their own voting. He does
not believe they ought to be controlled by the
slave-driyers Of Missouri. He understands pop
ular sovereignty to be that sort of sovereignty
where the people govern themselyes-not where
they are governed by others.
Such is not the idea of StringfelOw & Co.
They are willing the people of Kansas should
make their own laws, provided they make them
in manner favorable to Slavery; otherwise they
wish to have hand in the manner. They intend
that Kansas shall be open to Slavery, and they
will not hesitate to employ any means in their
power to effect their object.
The President is their tool at least he has no
mind Of bis own, and can be made to do their
bidding. lie has sided with Slavery and against
Freedom ever since he went into the Presden.
tial chair: why should it be expected that he
would do otherwise now! Why should it be
expected that he would sustain Gov. Reeder ;
We have said the latter has shown himself a
different man from what he was supposed to be.
We believe this is true. He was considered a
Pro-slavery Democrat. No one would have
been disappointed in him if he had been 70 md
using his whole influence in favor of the intro
Guction of Slavery into Kansas.
Nor can il be doubted that if he had thus de-
ported himself lie would have been sustained
by the Administration. If he hal played into
the hands of Stringfellow and his infamous asso-
ciates-if he had wnked at the proceedings of
the Missouri mob-we should never have heard
anything of the complaints that have been mad ,
against him. We should never have heard Of
his unlawful speculations. There would have
been no talk of his removal; he would be
perfe city secure in his office while Gen. Pierce
could continue him there.
We presume, however, that he is 10 be re-
moved 1t has taken the President while to
bring his courage up to the sticking point.
There have been obstacles In the way Of his
dismissal. Though possibly guilty of miscon-
duet, it does not appear that he is the only
guilty party. The judges aud District-At-
torney seem to be in the same category. Il

KNow-NoTUING MASS MEETING.

BALTIMORE, wednesday, juno =, 1879.
The Mass Meeting 10 ratify the doings of the Ma

came of this evening. The vast square was densely
crowded The meeting was called TO order by john
Dukehart, Chairman Of the Committee of Arrange
uents who made a brief eddross-speeking OF tbs
first appe of the great party in public TO openly
ratfy and confirm the great republican principle mat

A good deal Of talk was carried on in town
yesterday BY the news that Mr.. Greeley had been
arrested and put in prison at Paris. At first the
natural supposition was that the event had po-
litical character and that the Imperial Govern
ment had been paying him of for some excessive
frankness of Democratic nature of which he OF
we had been guilty. Such however was not the
case. His Imperial Majesty limits his repres-
siye measures toward US to the frequent sup
preston of copies of TIE TRIBUNE sent to our
subscribers in France, and has not yet laid his
heavy hand on the person of any member of our
establishment in his dominions. The history OF
Mr.. Greeley's adventure is narrated by himself
in another part of this paper, in manner which
renders any detailed exposition of the facts here
quite superfuous. Briefly, the arrest was made
at the suit of Lechesne the sculptor, who had
claim against the Crystal Palace for statue
full-length Bacchante We believe, which still lies
safe and sound in one of the courts of the Pal
ace-and who thought TO hold Mr.. Greeley Pc
cuniarily responsible as Director of the Asso-
ISOLATION. The Court however refused to adopt
NJ. Lechesne's view OF the matter and dis
charged the defendant.

THE EFFICIENCY OF SLAVERY.

Our friend of The Charleston Standard contin-
ues bis defenses of Slavery with the pertinacity
of one animated by "ixed idea," rather than
by rational convictions. He condescends to
glance, in the midst Of thousand generalities,
at one or two facts propounded in the replies Of
TIE TRIBUNE but cautiously avoids direct en-
counter. 1t is wiser, he thinks, to remain in
the misty regions of abstraction than to come
down to the daylight and open ground of actual
results.
The only instance in which he has degned to
resort to practical test as to the comparative
social efficiency of Slavery or Freedom is in the
publication of table, taken from the Reports
ON Commerce and Navigation for 1854, and
which shows that while the exports of the in
elusive products Of the Southern States have
been Sill, 277, 900, those of the inclusive pro-
duets of the Free States have only been
$33, PIE, COO Does not that show that Slavery
is the most eficient-he asks-dOes not the
fact that with only half the population we excel
you so much in exports prove the superiority
of our industry Why then boast of your
greater wealth, comfort, variety of occupation,
and general intelligence
We will tell The Standard why. 1. is because
neither the industrial nor social advance
ment Of nation is to be measured by the
amoun. Of its exports alone. The foreign trade
is often the most inconsider .ble part of the
trade of people who are highly prosperous,
while it may be, and generally ia, the most c,n-
siderable part of the trade of people who are
not prosperous. 1t is the variety and magnitude
Of the internal trade, or in other words the
efficiency Of their whole productive labor-nOt
single branch of (which measure their in
dusirisl development.
1t happens TO the South that her climate and
soil give her almost monopoly of two or three
articles which are in universal demand over the
globe; such as cotton, tobacco and rice, arti-
elcs which cannot be all consumed at home, and
which must be exchanged for foreign commodi-
ties. Her exports therefore are largely in ex.
cess OF other branches Of trade. But does it
follow from this that the South is moro flourish
ing than other countries whose trade consists
Of products consumed at home, or exchanged

There was another slight decline in the price
of beef cattle at the great market, Forty fourth
street, yesterday. On an average it was equal
to half cent pound for the meat. The best
quality of cattle, however, was not SO much
affected. They sold at prices equal to II cents
pound, nett; but the supply of common and
lower grades was fully equal to the demand and
prices gave way. Very good bullocks, suitable
for market retailing, sold at prices equal to 10
cents ponnd for the meat in the quarters
There were over 1900 head of cattle in the
pens, nearly all of which passed into the hands
of butchers before night. We understand the
number would have been much larger if dro-
yers had not held them out of market. Over
ten thousand sheep were sold in the last week
to butchers in this city, and the supply is
abundant.

Our Correspondent at Council Bluffs gives an
account Of vertically reported massacre of an
emigrant party of men, supposed to be Nor
mons, and the capture of their wives and chill
dren, beside two negro women. He states too
that the Sioux Indians who made the attack
were aware of the warlike preparations of our
Government and thus hurl defiance at it. This
Is the first episode in the war, as it must now
be considered, which was needessay provoked
by our own people, as we have shown again and
again. Steamers with troops are reported as

Louis state that Fort Laramie 10 in the

pect of a good fat Indian war, to last Heaven

Here we find in respect to these few articles
alone that the industry engaged in the homo
production amounts to nearly 100000, 600,
which is about double the amount Of our entire
exports; yet exports alone, according ~ lac
Standard, are to be estimsted as the criterion
of national wealth! The argument is too pre-
posterous to waste time upon, and we are sur
prised that The Standard should parade it as
something pertinent and forcible.
Our whole amount Of imports, as given by
The Standard, was S252, 047 900; and because
the South produces nine-tenths of these, 1t Is
argued that the Southern system of labor 10 the
most effective. But what in that case becomes
Of the prodigious mass of products which
scarcely appear in tables Of exports at all
What of Ss45, 1870, 1913 of manufactures and me-
cbanical products produced by the Free States,
or even of the Sl67, 9O6, OBS by the Slave States
themselves What becomes of SIS, 3oo,79O OF
hay, which is seldom or never exported what
Of the $544, 1sO, sic of live stock, scarcely any
Of which goes abroad What of the Sill ,'O5, l42
of slaughtered animals, which are mostly eaten
where they are killed. In short, the total
annual agricultural product OF the United states
is about Sixteen Hundred Millions of Dollars;
its total manufacturing, mining and mechanical
product is about Ten Hundred Millions more;
and yet-saying nothing of its fisheries and its
commerce-we must estimate it's prosperity by
it's Two Hundred and Fifty Millions OF exports
The fact is that the South is so entirely de-
pendent upon its cotton and tobacco that 1T for
gets that there is anything else in the world.
1t imognes that all the industry OF mankind is
absorbed in their cultivation, or in the cultivation
of that which will exchange for them, and there
fore it graduates its social science, its pollti-
cal economy, its legislation and its morals
according to the value of cotton. "Cotton is
"Kiug," excams one of its recent writers,
and he might have added BY the same logic
which brought him to that conclusion, that Cot
ten is Pope-nay, that Cotton is God.
