AnYIslNa CEN. GRANE

It has not seemed to us advisable to proiier
any counsel whatever TO the President eiect as
to the formation of his Cabinet we nave sew
eral excellent reasons for this reticence, only
one of which need be mentiOned-tbls, namely
that he has not asked our advice in the prem
ises.s The others may or may not be equally
good, but it cannot be necessary 70 adouee
them. @ 81.
y For, while we do not question the night oil
any citizen to volunteer suggestions In the
premises aud would by no means iHcite the
President to disregard and defy the wishes OF ms
friends, we do insist that his own personal judg-
ment and wishes should have very great
weight in the selection Of these high functlon-
aries who are to be his confidential official adj
visers, probably throughout his term OF service.
They are to be his familiar daily associates,
his intimate, trusted counselors; he must rely
implicitly on their integrity and their fidelity I;
he must, TO a great extent, see through their
eyes, remove and appoint on the strength OF
their recommendations, and be honored or dis
graced in the public estimation as they shall
do we'll or i'll. 1t may be too much to
call them his personal or civil stan
vet it is simple truth to say that they stand
70 him in a confidential relation OF intimacy and
trust which imperatiyely demands that they
shall be emphatically the men of his choice,
and not imposed upon him by political combi-
nations or personal pressure. The Adminstra-
tion will be known in history as his; he must
and will be judged and measured by its sue
cess OF failure and posterity will not admit
as valid the plea in his behalf" He would
have succeeded had he been surrounded
"by the right men :" for the ready,
unanswerable retort will be-" 1t was his
"duty as well as privilege 10 be thus sur
grounded he had no moral right to surround
"himself with others; and, If he succumbed to
"dictation and accepted as Heads Of Depart
"ments, men whom he did not deem fittest for
"such grave responsibilities, he therein proved
"himself unfit for his own high position"
In saying this, we indicate no opinion on our
part that those whom the new President
may call into hs councils are ADLER or worthcr
than others whom his choice will exclude. but
only that his personal preference is entitled TO
peculinr and even paramount weight III the
choice of Cabinet officers.

EYTGR1TTON TO THE SOUTH

We receive almost every day inquiries about
Southern lands from Northern farmers who
want to emigrate. 1t is impossible for us to
advise all these correspondents as TO particular
localities, for q country that would suit one
would not suit all. We are glad TO perceive
that tho Southern railroad companies have
combined 20 facilitate the diffusion of inforna-
tion respecting these millions of rich acres
which await the hand Of industry, and to diff
fuse it, too, in the only way which can be of
much practical use, namely by enabling farmers
to go and spy out the land for themselves. A
convention of officers, representing between
thirty and forty roads, met in Atlanta on the
4th of January, and adopted system OF ex-
cursion tickets, at greatly reduced rates, for
actual settlers, or for persons who, wish TO
examine the country with view to
settlement or investment There Is
a vast extent Of country between the Potomac,
Ohio, and Mississippi rivers where skilled labor
is badly wanted, land cheap, and nature prodi-
gal of her gifts to those who have the industry
to gather them. The regeneration of this re-
gion we believe is to be effected by the sturdy
formers of the North. But it has been difficult
for them TO select homes in the South. The
Instances are great huu IdItS Ou tuo OOuNuoin
roads are very high. This new arrangement
will remove the difficulty. Holders of excursion
certificates will be taken at the rate of two cents
a mile over any of the thirty-odd roads which
have joined in the agreement and actual set
tiers at the rate of one cent mile. great
number Of leading hotels in Kentucky, Tennes-
see, Alabama. Mississippi. North Carolina, South
Carolina, Virginia and Georgia will deduct
one third from their usual charges in favor of
the same persons. Most of the roads in ques-
ton are in the Southwest, forming complete
network from Louisville to ew0rleans, Mo-
bile, and Charleston; but there are some also
in Virginia and North Carolina.

and the conditions on which excursion certii-
Gates are granted, can be obtained of G.. NJ

The arrangement is to remain in force until the

"FREg TRADE ARG UMEHTa

WE present TO our readers, in another part
of our paper, an article on the question of
Protection and Free Trade which is suggested
by an argument in Mr.. Weiss recent repoit.
According TO Mr. Wells, high-tanf legislation
brings this result in America "1hs rich be-
"come richer, and the poor poorer" Now, if
high tariffs lead to this dreadful consequence
in the United States, then Free Trade must
bring countless blessings to any country that
adopts it The policy of England to-day is q
free-trade policy. Its influence champions
freedom of trade with every part Of the world
Ii is therefore fair in the course of the
argument TO step aside from the theories OF
Mr. Wells, and. looking at tho real condition
of English society to-day see the practical
effects Of Free Trade upon its people.
This narrative is condensation from the
daily Press, and, therefore, an expression of
the present condition of English feeling. Lon
don, we are told is covered with murrain of
beggars. English people are as much distressed
by these lazzaroni ~ travellers in Italy. In the
first and third week in December 1868, 114603
persons were fed by public charity in the city
Of London alone. Here, in the Metropolis of
Free Trade, zoe find a population as large as
w ~,
pauperism "Thcse figures" says the London
journalist, "plead with an eloquence which
"no tongue of man can surpass. They
"tdrnsk all the glory Of our country, and
"make our boasts Of extended commerce and
"Udst poWer falter on the lip" In
the third week of January, 1869, the Poor
Law Board returns 140,sS5 paupers. This is
10000 less than it was in the same week of
last year, which may be accounted for probably
by the exceeding mildness of the present Win
ter all over the world. The Parliamentary Re-
port shows that this poverty is not limited to
London. The total number of paupers relieved
in England and Wales on the last day of tho
first week in October, 1S0S was 92s64l, being
an increase of 63,793, or 7 4-lO per cent over tho
corresponding week Of the year preceding, and
during the month of October every week showed
an increase of from five TO seven per cent?
This exhibit only presents one side OF the
question. The best efforts of tho Government,
and the high rate Of taxation borne 10y tho
people, fail to meet the demand. The London
newspapers have no story more common than
the dreadful one Of starvation. Here is a narra-
tive from the Police Reports, telling of the
death, from absolute want. of Catherine Spence,
a woman aged 81 years, and her child. The
Jury found them in stop back room. mis-
"erably furnished. The bed was composed of
"rags, aud there wereno bedelothes upon Il. Tho
"onfy article of food in the room was q piece
"of salt, of which the deceased woman had
"eaten a portion before she died. Upon the
table lay Q srAct entitled, The Goodness OF
"God.H We learn from the evidence that this
woman's husband could fad no Work that
she had pledged all her clothes to buy food
that her furniture had been seized by the
brokers for rent; that sho had pawned her
