rRoPHECY MADE HISTORY.


IL is the custom Of the shallow-minded to
depreciate the craftsmanship Of CALHOUN,
and Of 'loyalists' to defame his memory.
Il is the contamination Of political wisdom
70 foresee events, and so order the affairs Of
government As to provide against mischief.
There may be some who now feel what he
forcsaw and predicted, who doubt the prae-
tioability or the prOprieiy Of the policy he
urged 10 prevent It, but none can read the
following from one Of his speeches made in
1887, and question his neutrality-suspicious.;
Emancipation itself wonld not satisfy
these fanatics; that gained, the next step
would be 20 raise the negroes 70 social and
political equality with the whites, and that
being effected, we should find the present
condition Of the two races reversed. They
and their Northern masters would be the
masters. and we tlse slaves the condition OF
the white race in the British West India
Islands As bad as il Is, would be happiness
10 ours there the mother country is in
tereated il sustaining the supremacy Of the
European race.

I.ErIIISTORY TEACH us.


The Radical idea that the negro is quite
as civilized and qualified for high places and
great duties as the white man, is pressed up
on public attention, and, we sometimes fear,
will be, until we run the race which have
befallen all the Republics which have gone
before US. We may not, like them, pass
away, but there is great danger that like
other races, we shall lose our liberties and
our boosted civilization. The Cincinnati
Enguirer, in reply to the Cincinnati Gazeite,
well says:
People survive after they become incapa-
bic Of material progress, and have lost their
political vitality. IL is probable that the
Indians, which inhabited this country when
it was discovered, were the descendants of
the mound-builders. They had lost all
traditions Of their former greatness, in the
lapse Of perhaps hundreds Of centuries, and
yet they had not passed away. The process
Of extinction was following slowly after that
Of degradation, and would, perhaps, eventu-
ally have depopulated the land. Nations
and civilization do grow up, eliminate and
expire. The glorious days Of Greece were
included in period Of two or three centu-
ries those of Rome in seven or eight. Asia
Minor was once the richest and most popu.
lOus country inthe world; now it is a de -eri,
with a few degenerate inhabitants The
strongest nation and the highest civiliza-
ton is-if the teachings Of the past are to
be believed-destined to work out its mission
and dissolve. Nations are like fruits, some
hang on and ripen, and some are scarcely
formed before they drop of and decay.
Mexico, In 1920, was pronounced by an i'm
partial observer, Baron HuNRoLDT, 10 be
equal in wealth, activity, population and
prospects, 70 the United States. Where
and what is che now, with her fresh Tevolu-
ton and new Constitution every two years;
a mere beggar in the family of Nations? Is
there not at least, some danger that this
boosted Republic viii rot before il Is ripe,
and iall, leaving for its legacy only an ex-
ample 70 be summed, and precedent to be
avoided?

New York, Nov. THE Jumel will
case, which has occupied 50 much Of the
public attention for the past few months, was
fairly started on its legal road this morning,
before Judge Barnard, in the Supreme Court.
This case is brought to set aside a will made
by the late Madame Jumel. The tsstatrix
bequeathed the bulk Of her property to va
rious charitable societies, and made the de-
iendant residuary legatee, besides richly
endowing his church, and making him a
handsome legacy. The plaintiff, as attorney
of the deceased, claims that she was induced
TO make this will through fraud and by I'M
due influence Of thedesendani; il also claims
that the lady, owing 70 inebriety and dotage,
was incapable OF making valid and legal
instrument. The array Of counsel is one Of
he most powerful ever engaged in this city.
The heir-atlaw is represented BY Charles
OConner, sx-Judge Pierpont A. J. Van
deTpOol, Charles f. Whitehead, james c.
Garter, and Attorney B, F. Dunning. The
validity Of tie will was maintained BY ex-
Surrogate Bndford, f. w. Stoughton, II. T.
Clinton, Geoge buckingham, and Attorney
Martin Smith, The court being occupied in
hearing excuses aud arranging the Jury panel,
the case was aid over till 70 morrow.

WHAT MAKES GREAT CITIES :

Upon this important and eminently prac-
teal subject, a valued contemporary very
wisely says: Great cities are made by en-
terprising men. Natural advantages may
do much, but energy and skillfully applied
capital will do far more Salem, Massachu-
sets, has as fine an harbor as Boston, and
in the last century had a monopoly Of the
East India traffic; but her easy-going mer-
chants we're no match for the energy and
saracity ever on the alert Of the wide-awake
traders of "the HUB" and ere long Boston
absorbed both the trade and the merchants
Newport has, if anything, superior harbor
to New York, and in former years rivalled
the great commercial metropolis; but DE
WITT CLINTON poured a stream of gold into
Manhattan through his "big ditch," in which
he was freely backed by its far-seeing citi-
zens, and Newport was thoroughly eclipsed
Want Of enterprise condemns Norfolk, Nir-
GINA, to a tenth-rate place among American
cities, though its magnificent port and the
fertile country around and behind ought
long ago to have placed it in the front rank.
A quarter of a century ago, and no one
would have dreamed that Indianapolis
would ever become place of much conse-
uuence; yet few sagacious men, foreseeing
the importance that railways were destined
to have in the future development of this
country, determined 10 make the State capt.
tai a railroad centre. 1t was done. The
great Central depot resounds constantly with
the uproar Of coming and departing trains,
and the isolated town, with no single other
reason why it should grow more than any
one Of thousands of spots no more advan-
tageously situated, has taken high rank
amongst the most thriving cities OF the
West.
Two elements make a city-busy COM
merce and thriving manufactures. The day
was when it was Necessary to be located
along some noble stream or around some
eligible port to secure the first and in mod
orn times, until Of late years, water power
was regarded as indispensable to the latter.
But interesting railroads may create a
great city over widespread plain or in
the heart Of the mountains, while coal
laughs at all natural obstacles, and rears
alike on river bank or hillside slope the vast
factories which resound with the spindle
and the saw, the lathe aud the loom.
Before the era Of steam there were certain
natural lines Of traffic, following the course
Of streams, or, as in Eastern deserts, the
location Of the GASES. SOLOMON availed
himself of these, and planted Baalbec and
Palmyra on the routes Of the great Eastern
caravans. and thus controlled the opulent
trade Of the East, which, from immemorial
time, has enriched every nation which held
il in its grasp. But in this age we make our
lines Of travel, and the locomotive fitting
back and forth between otherwise inaccessible
points, faster thar ever weaver dreamed,
binds together the warp and wool Of our
modern civilization in resistless ties Of feel
ing and Of interest.
