OF civilization on this continent, and are equal
to y. In that development Europe will receive
a benefit as well as ourselves. In the active
civilization which is now spreading over the
world no people can develope its industrial and
commercial powers to its own sole advantage.
The republic of trade is eo-extensve with the
great living nations. Spain has part in it only
as she draws it from her contact with France !;
Cuba participates in it only through those of her
elements which she has drawn from us, and
which have created state of things there which
has nothing in common with Spain and Spa
nish-America is still almost entirely without its
influence. The old school politicians and diplo-
matists Of Europe may think they can oppose
successfully such a development on our part;
hut their labor is like the labor of Sisyphus
We shall continue to deyelope and extend, and
in our so doing lies the best interests of the in
dustrial classes who are destined ere long to
grasp the reins of power in the Old World.

The Election Yesterday. and Its Results.

The charter election yesterday resulted in the
success of Mr. Haws. the republican candidate
for Comptroller. over the candidates of the Tam
many and anti-Tammany factions Of the demo-
cratic party. Purser and Russell. Mr.. Breuning-
hansen, the republican candidate. and Mr..
Townsend. the democratic nominee. are elected
Governors of the Almshouse. and in the Common
Council the democrats have about their former
majority in the Board Of Aldermen, while the
Board Of Councilmen appear to be equally
divided between the democrats and republicans
This was in every aspect one of the most ex-
traordi ary elections that ever took place in this
city. The various political parties selected for
candi atcs the very worst men they could pick
out. and the respectable portion Of the commu-
nifty, with few exceptions, abstained from
voting altogether. IL was a contest between
a set Of corrupt Office seekers for the spols OF
the treasury. There Is now no visible hope or
expectation OF any ameliora,on in the city
government. The result Of yesterday sets that
question at rest; Tor a set of men. many Of whom
have no occupation. no home. no stake or nteres,
whatever in the well-being Of the city, have been
elected to the highest and most responsible Offices
in its government The expenses for the municipal
government for this year will be nearly nine
millions Of dollars. third part Of which. at
lea.t. will be plundered or wasted; and with the
prospect now in view, it is impossible to tell to
what amount they may be swelled next year
probably thirteen or fourteen millions. Yet we
have no doubt that New York will be then, as /,
il now. the worst governed city in the world.
The complexion of the State Legislature. NJ
far as the representation Of this city il concerned
Il no better than that 81 cur local government
tready there are all kinds Of schemes and pro.
jcc,s ON foot TO I've run through at Albany. by the
aid Of the lobby. which will impose fresh bur.
dcns upon the overtaxed people Of this metropo
lis: and similar projects, such as contracts
Broadway railroads. and other jobs, are in pre-
paration for our new Common Council with
every prospect of being carried out to a success
ful issue. Judging from the character of thai
dclcotable body. On the whole, the result o
the election Of yesterday is striking and la
mcntablc instance Of the apathy aud indifference
Of the influential portion Of our citizens, thu
consequences Of which will be felt in an increased
taxation. and more miserable government thar
before.

With regard to the entire real value Of root
and green crops, there is another and a most i'm
pOrtant question involved, which Mr.. Clark has
kept entirely out Of sight, which is the cCnpa-
rative effect on the productiveness Of the land
on farm, between growing only hay and grain
crops, or q rotation or course Of cropping, in
which green and root crops are raised along
with grain.
1t is well established fact that all grain and
other crops that iipen their seed have much
greater tendency to deteriOrate and exhaust the
soil than green CT root crops; also that root
Gro. s, generally having tap root, which strikes
deeper than grain, they receive portion oftheir
sust"nance from greater depth in the sub-sO
than grain crops; also, having brad leaves, they
inhale considerable portion Of their iood from
the atmosphere; hence It is, and experience has
proved, that root crops do not exhaust the soil
as grain crops do. Besides, il is essentially me-
cessary, In order to keep land continually in a
perfectly healthy and productive condition, that
judicious course Of cropping be adopted, EN-.
braciDg repeated changes from corn and grain to
green and root crops. ..T
