why the South Is Opposed to Another
We are not surprised, says the De-
,tfoit Adoerssser, to see that some d
The more intensely sectional Southern
members Of Congress are opposed to
another census being taken by Con-
gress. They see that under the blight
ing influence of slavery the Southern
States are gradually retrograding in
everything utslaves and thatwith every
new apportionmenta portion of theii
political power is slipping from them.
Every new census serves to show them
how rapidly the Free States are out
stripping them in wealth, population,
improvements, intelligence, and all the
evidences of civilization and progress.
1t helps to strip off the flimsy covering
with which they have tried to hide
their nakedness, and to expose their
real deformity to the world. The AL
bany Jouwnalthus graphically specifies
their objections to the prying inquisi-
tiveness of the general government,
and the substantial reasons they have
for resisting a process which will do SO
much to expose the presumption of their
lofty pretensions:3d .bi8s glao f
"The census is not a gratifying doc
ument to the Shareholder. He reads
there that Free States are thrifty and
prosperous. He reads that his own
acres are barren. His harbors desert
ed. His churches of stunted growth.
His schools decaying. His colleges
feeble. His factories scanty and poor.
His shipping nowhere. His paupers
abundant. He reads how the finest
tropical regions coming under his sway
remain swamps and wilderness, while
under the magic hands of free industry
rugged Northern "deserts blossom like
the rose" He reads unpleasant con-
trasts under the head of 'sbushels OF
acres" and inhabitants to the square
mile" He reads ugly facts under the
head Of "persons unable to read or
WRITE" He reads there, in short, how
he is shifting his own land with curse
while his neighbors are browning theirs
with blessing. And what is worse,
all the world reads it there as well as
he. He has good reason for not want
ing another census printed!"

Whoever portrays in true eolors, the
Administration of James Buchanan,
finds his work as plain and straight
forward as was that Of the Artist in
painting the ninth plague of Egypt.
Being employed to represent the
plaques Of Egypt by means of sepa-
rate pictures, the ninth was completed
at single setting. Nothing could be
more simple than to daub the canvass
with black, as a faithful picture Of total
darkness. In delineating the policy of
a President, of the United States, it
would be, a relief to find here and there
a glimmering of light to relieve the
succession Of dark scenes which so
uniformly meet the eye whenever the
curtain is raised. There are few who
look for any good from an administra-
ton which has shown itself subservient
to a sectional interest which counte-
nances and encourages fragrant frauds
on the ballot box, which is in open and
avowed sympathy with disorganizers
and disunionists. A 'sI7
But there are certain kinds of dark
ness which are. felt by all classes of the
community. The proposition to raise
the price of letter postage, if success
full, would be felt in the pocket of every
person with intelligence enough to
write letters or to read newspapers and
periodicals. Itwould be the decisive
ounce that would break the back of
that long. suffering camel, public pa
thence. Looking only to the prospects
of parties in the next presidential con-
test, we should be glad to see the Bu-
chanan democracy staggering under
this new load of popular odium. But
we.hope the experiment willnot be tried.
1t is not necessary to the defeat of the
present democratic party, and it would
be unpleasant to see our own govern
ment take a step backward while all
the other governments of the world
are improving and cheapening the IA
cilities Of intercourse.

Beaten in Fact.

The Chicago Press Dc Tribune has a
carefully compiled statement of the
comparative vote cast at the late cleo
ton in that State for each member
of the Legislature. This statement
shows the aggregate Republican vote to
be l24, 1893, and the aggregate Demo
cratic vote l21, 100 showing Rcpub-
lican majority of 3,5Os votes cast for
the members of that body which has
just elected Mr.. Douglas to the United
States Senate. These figures, it is pro-
per to say, are compiled from the of
fetal canvass, and are entirely eliable.
The fact shows that, although Mr..
Douglas is Senator elect, the people
of Illinois voted to have Abram Lincoln
in the seat now occupied by him. We
should think this would be rather an
unwelcome fact to intrude upon Mr..
Douglas orations of selfglorifcation,
triumphal entries and sercnades.

Elopement Extraordinary and Arrest.
The Pittsburg- papers announce the
arrest in that city of man named
Anderson, under the following circum-
stances: ~ liz asas 4ossi -
About two years ago he lived in
Washington city, and was in Govern
ment employ. He had a wife and four
children, who, it would appear, were
devoted to him, and with whom he
might have been happy. But, unfor.
tunately for his happiness and that OF
his family, he had become acquainted
with lady who was then the matron
of the Government Asylum at Wash.

intimacy, and at length to something
worse. The conduct of the matron

~ The I2ibune's Washington cor
respondent, writing on the 18th, says
"the movement looking to the acquis-
ition of Cuba is regarded by all parties
as mere electioneering dodge. 1t is
a desperate attempt by Democratic
leaders to raise a new issue with which
to divert public attention from their
wretched mislnanagement of the ma
tional finances and from the embarras-
sing question attending the revival of
the African slave trade. They have
not the slightest hope of. acquiring Gu
ba, either by purchase or force, and
laugh openly at the folly of expecting
Spain to relinquish her most, valuable
province. The movement is q hum
bug: transparent trick-the last de-
vice of bafiled and despairing politi-
clans. They wish to get up a popular
agitation for the acquisition of Cuba,
and then charge upon the Republicans
the inevitable failure OF the attempt to
acquire"

The Tariff Question.

The President seems to be in right ear
nest for change in the tariff, but yet
keeps Secretary Of the treasury who
opposes his policy. The weakness of
the democratic party is illustrated by
this fact. Mr.. Buchanan makes point
of more protective tariff and speci-
fic duties and Mr.. Cobb argues and
works against both, and is still permit
ted to remain in the Cabinet, and thus
given power to thwart his chief. Only
upon slavery sitinsisted that the admin
istration and the party shall be a unit
Support of that and its interests are
demanded at the peril of instant expur-
cation and everlasting political annihil-
alton.
There is no agreement among au-
thorities as to prospects Of tariff revis-
ion; but we anticipate seeing a strong
coalition between the iron interests of
Pennsylvania and the free trade revenue,
tariff elementsof the democratic party,
which iron shall receive specific. and
abundant protection. New England,
and New York being ignored, and the
tariff in all else adjusted upon the pu-
rest revenue principles. The exception
to Pennsylvania will be proffer for
her return TO the democratic fold and to
the plantation seIvice-but is it not too
late?

Inc slave Irdue...A Test Movement
Mr.. Stewards new bill for the sup
preston of the African slave trade
gives the government an opportunity
to show the sincerity of its professions
as to that matter. The bill proposes
to increase the naval force in that SER
vice, by employing as many steam
vessels as the President considers nec-
essary, and to add such commercial
restrictions as will tend to prev mt any
American vessel from visiting the coast
of Africa, except for legitimate trade.
There can be no objection made to the
provisions of this bill with any person
who desires to see something effectual
done for the suppression of the slave
trade. The slow sailing vessels of our
American squadron are beyond dispute
quite incompetent to the service, and
the waters of our own southern coast
and of Cuba needs watching quite as
much as the coast of Africa. If the
administration desires to suppress the
slave trade it will favor Mr.. Stewards
bill, and Congress will pass it. If not,
the southern slave traders may Justly
infer that they have nothing to fear,
and may repeat their late successful
experiment of the Wanderer without
limit. 1t is test measure. Let the
people watch its progress.

Michigan LEGISLATURE.

During the last week, the two Houses
have been hard at work, and have
passed large number of important
local bills. The session was half closed
on Tuesday night, January 25th, and
for three days previous more than
seventy different bills had passed both
Houses. The Gratiot County Relief
Bill has finally passed the House, and
received the signature of the Governor.
The House has also passed the bill
giving the Superintendent of Public
Instruction Deputy. TIE Governor
has withheld his signature from the
bill donating $40 acres of land to Mrs
III. d. Rogers. The bill organizing the
new county of Muskegon has passed
the House by close majority. The
Democrats voted in solid body against
it.
Mr.. Muzzy, of Niles, has introduced
bill into the Senate to lay out certain
State roads in the county of Bcrrien ;
also, bill to prevent drawing seins in
Berrien Lake, Cass county.
A bill has been introduced into the
Senate to provide for the publication OF
the official statement of votes cast at
the several elections of this State.
This bill makes itimperative on Boards
of County Canvassers to publish their
official statement in at least two papers
in each county where there are two
published. At present it is entirely
optional to publish it even in one.
The Senate has passed bill appro-
priating So, 900 from the public treasury,
to encourage the organization of new
uniform volunteer companies, and to
aid those already organized. This APP
preparation is for the ensuing year,
after which tax of one-tenth of a mill
is to be assessed upon the people, in lieu
of further direct appropriations.
A bill to provide for Registry Law
was introduced into the House on the
25th instant, which is looked upon as
one of the most important measures of
this session. No measure has been so
loudly and generally called for by men
of all parties and from every section OF
the State. Democrats have united
with Republicans in calling for it,
deeming that there is pressing need OF
some further safeguards to preserve
the purity of the ballot box. For no
measure has there been half so many
names found upon the peoples petitions.
The number of these names amount to
several thousand-from ten to twenty.
The main provisions of the bill we
shall give next week. Whether it will
become a law during the present ses-
sion, of course we have no means oil
knowing, but that such law is des
tined, sooner or later to be enacted,
we think there can be no doubt.

THE GOLD PRODUCT. 1t is esti-
mated from tolerably correct dates that
the product of gold from the mines of
the United States for the last 20 years
has been 5000, 100000. 1t is estimated
in the future, taking the recent gold
discoveries into account, that the gold
crop for years to come, is likely to be at
the rate of a million and half Per
week, or seventy-eight millions per
annum, making for the next twenty
years, fifteen hundred million Of
dollars.

ing of the petition, and also makes sew
eral other changes in the existing law.
