The majority OF one vote, there

OF the whole Senate; that Is, had all
the potency of 50 members,
But there are 20 Senators, from

The majority Of one in caucus

In brici, 10 Senators have dispos.
ed Of the consolidated vote Of y,
on the most momentous question
which ever occurred in the civil
history OF this country; being no
less question than this: Whether
ten States and eight millions of
ircc-born Inhabitants shall DO out
lawcd by u Government calling itscf
republican.
This majority Of one, fifteen to
fourteen, has not only the power
Ola majority to carry with it n
majority Of the whole number Of
the Senate, but has the fun Their
power Of everything the Executive
veto, aud thus debating to two
branches of the Government, The
fifteen, carrying the minority four,
toen with them, make up two
third vote; so that if the measure
should come back with the Prcsi-
dents veto, there is, without change
Of vote, still two-thirds with which
to overrulc him.
Was there ever more fragrant
exercise, of the despotism of party
a more fagitious example Of the
facility with which an active fac.
ton, having the control of u par
tisan organization, can contrive to
govern ~, great country with n
minority of the actual votes? Here
is a glaring case in which party
caucus, composed Of barely two
fitths of a full Senate, is enabled
by a majority of single vote to
dictate to congress, the Executive
and the country, cruel, revolving
and unconstitutional policy-N. o.

ately, and says packages containing
such samples may be sent, addressed
to the Commissioner Of Agriculture,
at Washington, from any post office
in the United States free of postage.
The packages should weigh about
two pounds or less, and each must
be distinctly marked with name,
donor, local name, and county and
State in which it is grown. lfTex-

sumo she could at least send some
fine samples of wheat, considering
that they would represent simply
the growth Of the native soil, rath-

manure. 1t might be some service
if some such packages were sent
from this State.-GNl. Ners.
THE FUTURE or THE SoUTH.-We
uttcr but tritc sentiment when we
say that the future OF the South is in
the hands of its young men. How
many Of them are qualifying them
selves to manage its factories, con
troll its railroads, mine it's ore, work
it's own shops and cultivate its own
plantations? Professional men it has
in abundance-able lawyers accom-
plished physicians, eloquent speak
ors. These have their uses, but the
growth Of State depends less on
them than on the character of the
men who manage its industrial en-
terprisos. What is most needed in
the South to-day il that the young
blood who fought for it so CALAMITY
should work it as determinedly.-
On the plantation, inthe shop, in the
factory, there the South is to effect
its true restoration. The young men
who dug trenches and fed On hominy
and pork, who went clad in home
spun gray and slept in colder rain or
shine under the canopy ofthe heav-
ems to further the fortunes, as they
beliveed oftheir native land can now
do noble service by laying hold ofits
plow handles, turning It's lathes,
guiding it's spindlos, handling its To-
comotives. But there iswant ofcap-
ital. No matter. They have youth,
help hope, ambition, and good abil-
ities. They have every incentive
for which TO work. Begin with
will and success, will crown their ef-
forts.-Ndtion0L Intciigencer.
