REASONS FOR THE DEFENSE or RICHMOND.

Among the reasons which have induced Gen.
Lee 10 determine 10 hold Richmond are the fol
lowing: Because OF the moral effect Of success
iu defense of their capital in Europe Because
Of the vast extent and great strength OF tho de
lenses of the place, Because no other point
could be selected shere lie conisderste armies
could have so favorable an opportunity OF hold
ing At bsv and battling greatly superior federal
force Because of the loss of prestige that
would result, both in the southern states and IN
Europe. from an Abandonment Of their capital
Because Richmond IL absolutely inaccessible BY
water. and attack On lhe place cannot be aid
ed. therefore. by naval force. Because il can
not be completely invested. and means al
Ways be found 10 procure supplies for is garri-
son. Because great bitte must be fought,
sooner or later. between the main armies OF the
north and the south. and no more favorable
place can be found for that purpose than she
lines of defense around Richmond.

SMALL BEER.

Never does a great calamity occur but some
small politician will be seen roofing among its
ruins for stuff that can be twisted into party
capital. Thus when Ketchum, Son q Co. ex-
ploded, one or two of our journals paraded the
assertion that theirs was an eminently loyal"
house, and had had large dealings with the
Treasury. Whereupon, another has letter
from Chicago which asserts that
"The young man KetchuIn, whose swindiing trans
actions have so excited the financial world during the
session of the National Democratic Convention IN TINS
city, last August was present as leading friend OF
Mcclellan. lie kept open house at one OF our leading
hotels scattered his money like prince, and made
big splurge generally"
All which may or may not be so. for aught
we know or care. We have never heard OF an
inyeterate and daring stock-gambler whose
politics were not held in docile subordination to
his bptS

COyERNrENT CREDIT.

There is one point that does not seem to re-
ceve sufficient emphasis from the press, and
that is the wonderful frmness Of Government
securities during the recent panic. II stands to
reason that, during times Of momentary excite
mcnt. with distrust ard anxiety in the money
market, those securities most generally held
would be most generally deprecated. The first
effect of a panic is to send every timid holder to
the Stock Board. The moment shade of mis-
trust passes over any security, it becomes the
interest of the holder to get it ont of his posses
sion so soon as possible, end there can be no
better test of the value Of an investment than
its behavior in times Of dangcr. When the
frauds of young ketchum were first mentioned,
and people did not know the extent of his depre-
dations. there was a general rush to the brokers
by all who held securities. The sales largely
increased. The day before the announcement
of the defilcation, il3i shares of leading stocks
were sold The day after the announcement,
33.3l5 shares of the same stocks were sold. The
panic was not confined to any particular Sc
curty. II ran along the whole list. Erie sui
fered most, the decline being 81. The Others
had their share. The New-York Central fell
a; Hudson River, e: Reading, e, and so on
down to - the fall of the Michigan
Central, and the lightest fall of the day. There
was no particular reason why these railroad
shares should depreciate. The defalcations OF
Ketchum and Others did not affect them. Not
a dollar was lost to their earnings; not penny
taken from their capital stock. But the law Of
panics, or, as might be said, the law ofanarchy,
spares nothing. When men lose their wits and
find themselves possessed with the sudden sense
Of danger, they are only controlled by the IN
stinct of safety, and in cases like this the in
stinct is to rush to the Stock Board and sell all
they have for as much as can be got.
How has it been with National securities ?
In time of panic, we should imagine that a
loan so generally held would be the first to suf-
fer, and particularly loans that have been so
dreadfulIy abused and denounced as those is
sued by the Government. When frightened
money-dealers were,rushing hther and thithcr
with Erie and Hudson and New-Nork Central,
and willingly submitting to heavy losses, the
holders of Government securities stood firm.
The storm passed over them unheeded, and in
the darkest moments Of these anxious days, the
Five-Twcnty and Seyen-Thrty and Ten-Forty
held their own. Here are the figures of the
New York market

THE CENSUS AND TIE .n
T7ONMENT..

Whatever may be the result of an ipves,;..
ton into the Census which has lust bee, ,,l
it is at least certain that the number Of ROM.
sentatives in the State Legislature towb;oh u,
Counties Of New-forll aud Kings will no o~

largely over-estimated. In all the cslcuI.,ioa'
which have been made, the very plain nrori.'a~
of our State Constitution article Ill soo,;oH
81, excluding aliens and persons of cola, -.
taxed, has been entirely overlooked. As tbe's
classes are more numerous in the souther, No.
ton Of the State than in all the roc, oe;.
together it is clear that Uur share in the ron..
sentation is proportionably diminished II III.
City really contained 100000 inhabitants =,
has been claimed, it would nevertheless mo %,
titled to not more than 90 or q mpmho,,
of the Assembly, instead Of 90, as has heo,
reckoned.
1t will be observed that representation !,
this State, is substantially based upon IN.
electors, rather than upon the mass Of the mo-.
plea wise rule, which might with great aa.
vantage be introduced into our National Con.
stituton. This fact makes it easy to computs
the number Of members Of the Legislature IA
which each county is entitled, as the compara
lively full vote OF a Presidential election give,
a fair basis for calculation.
The total vote of this State for Governor last
Fall was 13i,0l0. This would give basis Of
5,7l1 votes for each Assemblyman, and .. "a
for each Senator. The total vote Of New.York
City for President was llO,39O, and of Kin,,
| County, 46. 564. New-York will therefore be
entitled to not more than five Senators at Ina
most, and Kings County to two. Albany. Erie
Oneida and Onondaga will have one each
while Monroe and Rensselaer, are each 50 nearly
entitled to one that their claims will probably
be allowed.

So that we find that in the aggregate the
sales were less on Wcdnesday--the day of the
panic-than on Monday, the day before it-and
in every security, with one exception, there
was an advance. The advance was slight, but
noticeable as showing confidence.
This suggests a natural comment. We see
that, after all, the great security is the security
of the people Nothing but National calamity

worthless Petroleum companies explode; banks
may be robbed: but all these causes affect ind-
vidual credit, and only strengthen that of the
Government. Great is Wall-st., but greater
even than that mighty Rialto is the National
Exchange. At last, VIC have found something
above the reach of fraud and panic. The
lesson should DO learned. This great argument
in favor of the National credit should be taken
up by the press and proclaimed aloud. Here,
at last, is something free from the eddy, the
whirlpool. the current--the uncertain, shifting
changes of money and credit. Trust-guaTdians'

Peace" proposed an offer Of that sum to be
rid Of Slavery and Rebellion cvermorc-which
is not exactly the same thing. l proposed to
pay this amount in bonds to all the Slave States,
loyal and Rebel alike, as compensation to their
loyal citizens for their slaves, on condition that
the Rebellion should be given up, Slavery
forever abolished, and the Union declared
perpetual, thus precluding all future
Secession or Civil War. This may have been ..
bad suggestion; but Mr. Lincoln surely did not
so consider it, or he would not have sent me to
Niagara as he did. Had it been proposed and
accepted, the South would have been firmly
pledged not only to the Union, to Emancipa-
ton, but to the payment Of the National Debt,
which Debt would have been far less than it
now is, while We should have saved many
thousands of precious lives, and have
set the whole regeneratcd South fairly
on its feet. The $500, 900, 600 would have
largely come back to us for the purchase OF
Food, Clothing, Implements, Animals, &C.,
By means of which the South would have grown
immense crops of Cotton Sugar, Rice, &C., to
be sold at high prices. Let those who will rail
at my suggestion; it was made in confidence,
with no idea that it would ever become public;
but do not regret nor apologize for it.
Some matters of more local and personal
nature must be left over. They shall be as
frankly dealt with tomorrow. II. G.

We predict, with confidence, that these fs-
ures will be found to vary very little, i AL,
from the apportiolment that will be actually
made, though there should be half dozen new

will be seen that the river and island COUNTIES
