ST. LOUIS.

We never saw st. Louis, have no special in
terest in it, and few friends residing there; but
We wish to record our conviction-wth great
respect for Cincinnati Pittsburgh and Chicago
which we hare seen--that st. Louis Is destined
to have henceforth the most rapid grown
of any American city, and to be recogn'Seo
as the chief inland emporium OF our country
within the next twenty years. we bcheVe 'n'
Census of 1900 will rank the chief cities OF the
United States in this order: |. Ncw-iork;
2. Philadelphia; 3. st. Louis; 4. Chicago; D.
Cincinnat; 6. San Francisco; z. Baltimore;
:. Boston; Q. Pittsburgh; 10. Richmond.
This train Of thought is suggested by the fact
tbo, the South. West branch of the Pacific Rail
roal-wh;ch the cxigencies Of War has long
halted at Rola-is about TO be pushed on to the
border of T,ras. where it is u be met by one
from Galveston, forming direct line from the
Gulf to the Missouri. 900 miles long. Another
line, composed of different roads. will soon con-
meet ST. Louis directly with Minneapolis on
the upper Mississippi at the Falls of ST. Anthony,
supp,anting over zoo miles Of devious and often
obstructed river transportation by little oyer
400 of rail- ST. Louis will then be but days
ride from those Pals, which afford the most
valuable water-power on our continent, and
but two or three days from Galveston, thus
bringing tropic heat and arctic cold within her
grasp, and superseding navigation that now
traverses little less than 5000 miles and con-
snmes at least three weeks. Meantime, the
Union Pacific" is being pressed steadily west
ward, and will bring st. Louis within three
days ride Of Denver and the mines Of The
Rocky Mountains within the next three years.
Those mines will then employ and reward at
least a hundred times the labor that can now
be proGtably employed in them-will produce
Silver a, so per pound and Gold at 500, where
they now cost S25 and $3.50. Most dazzling
| is the immediate future that opens for our
country when our people shall have settled
down into the conviction that It Is every way
WISER uobler, and even cheaper, to hire what
ever labor you may require and pay fair pFice
for it than undertake to get it for nothing.

The Union City Convention last evening
nominated MARSHALL 0. ROBERTS for Mayor
and MURRAY IIOFFMAS for Corporation Counsel
both good men and true. Tho re
form movement inaugurated by the citizens
Association has already had the good elect ol
compelling the rival parties to present better
candidates this time than they have usually
done. Personally. we esteem Messrs. Roberts
and NJ. Hoffman. and have nothing to say to
the preiu ice of the other Hoffman, who finds
favor at Tammany Hall.
But all these nominees are set up in Opposi
ton to the Reform movement, and with intent
TO crush il between the upper aud neither null
stones fp0riy. vote for Mr.. Roberts, or iol
either Hoffman, is proclamation Of hostility
to any systematic effort for City Reform, or o.
skepticism as to the possibility o.
efeciing such Reform. 1t is vote fol
government by party and for party ends. 1t i,
a vote to go on in the mill-horse round which
has already been tried till we arc sick of it. Mr..
Roberts would make an upright, faithful Mayor,
but no better than Mr.. Opdyke did, and he had
no power even to arrest the wholesale pecula'
tons'which were carried on under his very nose.
Mr.. RobertsS election would be giving notice
that we cannot forego our party differences, but
must keep on fighting the battles of politics OF
each Charter Election, aud let the City be gov

mont of the Blacks that must be oxarciseu 'e'
fore the problem Of Reconstruction can DO per-
fectly solved. The South believes stl'i III

races, in civil and political rights iounueo vn

for the States to come back. The evidence Vi

corrress' il TO annul all laws founded on dis
tpction of race or color, and blot out inc worn
white from the statute-book. When that Is
done, the Blacks can protect themselves better
than the Supreme Court, or Congress. or the
Freedmen's Bureau, can protect them.
New-York daily tribune., 1865-11-25

Congress will not omit 10 notice that the
peopie OF the Southern States have thus far
uttered no voice in favor Of accepting the terms
Of reconstruction proposed by the Pres.dent.
Tho Conventions would not, or dared
not, submit their work to popular vote.
II was considered 30 certain that the
popular voice was against even TIE
easy conditions required Of Mississippi that
Gov. Sharkey threatened to disperso bis
Convention with negro troops if they yenturcd
to give the State at largo chance to express
is opinions. And now We find tho Georgia
Convention exhibiting the same disirust,
though it is difficult to imagine what
tho bitterest Rebel could object to in
tho work of that body. The little
game to be played is evident enough.
One member, O so-called Union man, openly
advocated the reputation of the war debt by
the Convention, and its assumption by another
Convention called or soon as the State repre-
sentatiyes shall have been admitted into Con.
gress
Unless, therefore, we are willing to sec every
Rebel State repudiate tho acts OF its Conven-
tion, Congress must require inexorably that the
people of every State shall ratiiy the work OF
tho Conventions which Congress will hereafter
authorize.

THE CHATTER CONTEXT.

Is our Municipal administration EVER 10 be
cent. on the official valuation Of our property
will not arouse the people to mako the neces-
sary effort, would four, five, or even six per
cent, have any eifect' FIVE are ever to have
City Reform, is it not high timc'
"Why," asks one, "cant we have such Re-
form effected By the Union partyl" We answer
- for this good reason, (to say nothing of
others), that The Union party oan nerer get The
por,r TO make il. We are minority here-our
adyersaries are nearly two to our one.
We might, possibly, indeed run in a
Mayor this year, Controller another
time, as We elected, first Controller
Haws, then, Mayor Opdyke; but neither, with
out Common Council at his back, could
achieve much positive good. Mayor Opdyke
did his best; but he lacked the requisite power.
And it is moral imposSbility that the Union
= party can this year elect Common Council.
But We can elect REFORM Council as well
as Mayor if we will but unto with those
Democrats who are willing to ignore party in
behalf of City Reform. As party, We cannot
succeed; by ignoring party, We may secure ouI
fair and equal voice with other reformers in
. deciding how and by whom our City shall be
governed.
Is rot the case too plain for argumenti Say
that we should support mainly Democrats q:
Reform candidates this year, the inequality, i
such there be, will surely be rcdressed at thc
next Charter Election.
But who cares whether an Alderman be 0
this or that party, provided he uses his power
not as apartisan but for the benefit Of the enir,
community What sense in chattering owe
this or that mans politics when We want him t,
serve the whole public and let politics alonel
'OHAN van Gay, iVil'iCo vi uo poiIllCS, Y
never support one who opposed the War" Blu
he who says this will any day unite with BIZ
neighbor of perverSc politics in buying selling
or anything else which is presumed for theil
mutual advantage. Why not
WHAT'S wanted is to take our Municipal affair,
ont Of politics, or to take politics out of them
so that our. City shall no more be governed by
Unionists or Democrats as such, but by suc
men as shall be judged by majority most
capable and worthy. Now, it is notorious that
quite other tests are appled-that most
Of the voters support the ticket Of
their party, and know little or nothing Of the
candidates they favor but that they are fellow
partisans. This mode of governing great cities
has been tried out, and it don't work well. 1t
must be put aside, and municipal functionaries
chosen for their proved integrity and personal
worth alone.
Men and brethren! help us to naugurate this
most righteous and needed reform!
