now but fifty cents per gallon. The
Collections of revenue will be increased
in the same ratio as the disposition to

Important from Alabamn-Southern Rest0-
rntion-The Next Presidency and the
Next Conaress.
We have reports from Alabama that after
oil, the total vote cast in the late election on
the ratification Of the new constitution will be
up to the requirement Of the law OF Congress-
which is that majority Of the one hundred
and sixty-six thousand registered voters must
participate in these reconstruction elections
or that they will go for nothing. II would be
something very strange, indeed, il the radicals,
having all the machinery Of these elections in
their hands, could not contrive to make them
all right. They have not failed in any OF them
so tar, although in most Of these elections our
first reports have pronounced them failures
election will foot up the necessary majority OF
registered voters at the polls, Alabama, we
may next assume, will within q week or two
be restored to her constitutional relations in
and with the general government, with the
acceptance OF her new State constitution by
cation (six white radicals) in the House Of
Representatives.
The especially Objectionable feature to the
mass OF the Alabama whites Of this new State
constitution is the article on the elective fran
chise, providing for political equality and for
universal suffrage to males over twenty-one
years Of age, regardless Of color, but except
ing Subject TO the Legislature) those partc-
pants in the late rebellion disfranchised by the
constitutional amendment (article fourteen),
and excepting permanently those guilty Of
unusual and barbarous practices against
Union solder and sailors, together
with other criminals, and also idiots
and lunaiics. The great body Of the whites
object TO this article, because ii gives the ne
groes, in the popular voting majority, the con-
troll Of the State but II the whites, who own
oil the lands and factories, foundries &c, In the
State, only choose TO cultivates proper under
standing with the blacks around them, they 0he
whites) may within year or two, get the con-
troll OF the State completely into their own hands,
with the African balance OF power. General
Wade Hanpton's policy, which he 10 forcibly
urged In the very beginning Of this business Of
Reconstruction 10 1865, /, the true policy for the
Southern whites-the simple policy Of making
friends OF the negroes instead OF enemies. The
| cotton planters Of Alabama, now that their
mastery inactivity" agains, this reconstruc-
ton programme Of Congress has availed them
nothing, ought 10 proceed at once to win over the
blacks 70 their side--s movement for which
they possess every advantage.
The reinstatement Of Alabama in Congress
will doubtless hurry up the work in all the
other States OF the five military districts, 90 that,

! meeting at Chicago Of the Republican Presi-

body except its rich proprietors and stock
holders and the great capitalists! The mil
lions OF starving people and the poverty into
which oil the laboring classes are stepped In
Great Britain, while the country is immensely
wealthy, show there ID something radically
and frightfully wrong in its financial system.
It has been making the few rich, very rich, and
the masses very poor all along 1t eoncen-
trates all the wealth in few hands and leaves
the mass Of the population in abject poverty
The foundation Of this frightful state Of things
was laid by the bullionists-the on-to-specie
payment theorists-after the Napoleonic wars
were ended, and 1t has been perpetuated by
the iron rule Of thu Bank Of England. II has
burdened England with IN enormous debt
which can never be paid. The monetary sys-
tenn Of that country being based on this bull
Zionist idea-on specie alone-the Bank Of
England exercises absolute control over the
trade and industry Of the country. Nor does
this system secure stability. It is we'll known
that every few years terrible revulsions occur
in England. In fact, they are almost as regu-
lar every ten years or so az the seasons. After
reducing the masses of tho people to the low
est depths Of poverty the system has not even
the redeeming quality of giving stability to
trade and values When the country is in
most need Of relief, as In time of crisis, the
Bank of England puts on the screws, or, in
other words, contracts, and plunges the bust
ness community into bankruptcy and the ork-
ing classes into starvation. A few millions
sterling controlled by the bank will affect the
value Of hundreds of millions Of property and
the interests Of the whole community. Yet
this Is the state OF things our stupid so-called
fnanciers would follow. Let us rather avoid
the ruinous financial policy of England and
adopt one suited to our own institutions and
circumstances.

American staples, but Of the great staples Of
Eastern Asia also; for with . regular limo OF
steamers across the Pacific and tbs Pacific
Railroad running from San Francisco to
New York. British and French merchants
must buy their Chinese goods in this
city. Nay, it cannot yet be deter
mined but Chinese emigration, settling on
the great plains along the line Of the Pacific
Railroad, and cultivating those riverless dis
trics on the great system Of irrigation that fer
tilizes China, may make our own domain fruit
full in products hitherto deemed peculiarly
Chinese.
But this L., Of course, only . renoter posi-
bility. 1t is . great fact that We are moving In
the line to monopolizs the trade Of Eastern
Asia, and that this great development ia due
to the possession of the State of California.
California was acquired in defiance Of the
party governed by tho same ideas of national
progress as the party that rules the country
now-the party opposed to all extension Of
the area of freedom-equally opposed to the
acquisition Of Texas or Alaska. This is the
party that will keep ten States of the Union
under the heel of the negro, but will not have
Cuba, nor the West Indies, nor the vast Pacific
coast Of Russian America, though each of these
acquisitions may eventually be as advan-
tageous to our national power and position as
the possession of California now proves. 1t is
party of "great moral IDEAS" but very small
political ones.
