BY the Improvements in steam navigation the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans have become only
like lakes. The Pacific railroads, stretch.
ing across the Continent from one ocean
to the other and connecting with the
steamships on both, will concentrate the
trade of the world here, and New York aud
san francisco must become the greatest cities
on the globe. The magnetic telegraph, which
has put us in instant communication with
Europe, and which in a few years will do the
same with Asia, will have greater effect still
i'll centralizing the power, the commerce and
the Intellectual influence of the American
Tepnblic. With territory embracing a vast
continent, with boundless resources, with
every variety of productions, and with forty
millions of the most active and enterprising
population. what are we not capable of accom-
plishing What must we become when in
less than half century the republic will
count more than hundred millions of people?
The course Of commercial and national great
ness will culminate here in America, at its
most Western limit, after having made the
circuit of Asia and Europe.

Of majority equal to one-fourth of the entire
registration. TO accomplish the same results
in the other Southern States there needs no
very great change in the negro vote. In
Alabama, one negro in every five; in Florida,
Louisiana, and South Carolina, one in every
four brought over would so far make the negro
vote neutralize itself that the white vote would
stand forth in solid mass as the vote of the
State.

The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1868-09-04
The NCgrO Vote.


From the ". y WorLd.
1t is evident that if the Southern people
can about equally divide the negro vote, that
vote will cease to be of any appreciable i'm
portance in the decision of the approaching
Presidential election. Thus there are now
about 75O, 600 negro voters-voters, OF course,
only so lar as the Reconstruction lsws are
vslid-in the South and if 375, 900 of these
can be induced to vote for Seymour and Blair,
while the rest go for Grant, the one vote will
neutlalze the other, and the white vote alone
will decide the day. Feeling this, the Southern
people, with that peculiar alertness in political
matters that seems to distinguish them, have
gone boldly to work to make the negro vote
neutralize itself, and SO far as indications now
so, with very great success. Being most i'm
presslble creature the poor negro is ever ready
TO listen to any one who will promise him
anything, and just as the carpet-bag
men avaied themselves of this trait
in the reconstruction elections the South
ern people are doing now. To get him
to vote for conception or to ratify the con-
stitution framed by it, the carpet-bag man
promised the negro "a mule and forty acres"
and in fond hopes of this muniAcence, he did
as he was bid. Now, the conventions being
over and the constitutions ratified, it strikes
him that the mule aud land have not been fur
nished him, and, in the natural anger evoked
by this circumstance, he is very ready to
llslSn 10 lu6 VOICE OI MS ola master Wl6Q
telling him that the carpet-bag man meant
to cheat him from the start. Fortunately
for this master, the idea of a white man
cheating negro was, in the old slave
times, the abomination of desolation in the
South, and, starting from this point d'appui,
an almost irresistible appeal is made
to the disappointed black. l, is about
the address of his quondam master to
him, never cheated you. If had promised
you mule you know you would have gotten
it, and as 10 land you know you always had
as much about your cabin as you cared to cul-
tivate. Now, can't give you much, because
Pm poor but still l can give you something,
and if you choose to be my friend and vote
with me, will give you employment and you
may live on my land. Think about this and
let me know what you mean to do, and, in
nine cases out of ten, while the negro is
thinking, the white man gets him to a bar
becue, gives him a drink, makes him speech,
and with a vengeful recollection of that
missing mule, the reconstructed voter be-
comes furious supporter Of Seymour and
Blair.
OF course there are some of the recon-
structed, chiefly those about the towns, who
can resist this treatment; but as for the great
mass of the negro population, tangible bar
becue, meaning Seymour, has a far greater
political significance than an invisible mule,
meaning Grant. To vote, in the negro mind,
is to get something, and, acting on this under
standing of the ballot, the Mississippi whites,
with a negro majority of 10000 against them,
defeated the reconstructed Constitution
by reconstructed votes to the extent
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1868-09-04
Is a War Of Races Imminent /!

from We ~. Y. Times.
The World processes to be "profoundly i'm
pressed with the conviction that war OF
races, initiated by the radicals for political
effect is imminent in the South" North and
South Carolina, Georgia. Tennessee, Arkan-
sas, and Texas are specified as States in which
strong ground for apprehension exists. The
responsibility Is, of course, charged upon the
Republicans and the freedmen.
That there is danger of very serious trouble
in various parts of the South, none who has
carefully watched the progress and tendency
of events in that section can deny. We have
published evidence from several States which
leaves no room for reasonable doubt on the
subject. And it is at least probable that the
occurrence of conflict between whites and
blacks in some of the States would not long
be limited to few localities. In this way
war of races is possible, il not imminent.
When, however, the w, rid attributes the
peril to Republican policy and effort and pre-
diets its initiation for political effect, it eX-
changes the region of fact for that of partisan
invention. The truth is in the opposite di-
rection. Whatever danger exists is Demo
cratic in its origin, and if it culminate in
strife, the Democratic party will be mainly,
if not wholly responsible.
The most striking proof of this is the mode
ration with which the power organized under
the Re construction acts has been exercised by
its possessors. The new Constitutions are, as
rnle, singularly free from offensive provi-
sions. There ID rather more oath taking in
some of them than We deem just or polite;
but, generally speaking, they ars character
ised by an avoidance of prescription which, in
the circumstances, is somewhat remarkable.
There is no sweeping disfrsnchisement, and
no hagrant abuse of authority in any shape.
The political equality of the races is affirmed,
and ample provision is made for popular edu-
cation, regardless of color; but these are not
changes which justify the violent resentment
shown by the representatives OF the old slave
system.
So again, in regard to subsequent local legis
lation. Alabama has witnessed the removal
of all disfranchisement; and the composition
of the Georgia Legislature illustrates the par,
tisan forbearanoe of the colored voters. The
legislation under the new Governments has
not been uniformly wise. Want of experience
is apparent in some instances, more particu-
larly in South Carolina, and in others the
presence OF reckless leaders may be traced
Still We nowhere find an invasion OF white
