ttIn0, CnnClnnaG EB4uD eT mas been
69ufing upon the oensns OF 1870 aud its
political results, In order TO show how
last and how far the Eastern and Middle
/ how coon the Northwest will overpower
and make them tributary Ito the giant
power arising West Of the Alleghanies
| ID iShoMs that in 1840. Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan and Missouri had
th;rty-two members OF Congress, aud
that in 1870, with Iowa, Wisconsin,
Minnesota. Kansas and Nebraska, since
added. there will be .eighty-tbree mem
bers-an increase Of fifty-two. In 1840.
the six New England States had thirty
eight members, but in 1870 will have
but twenty-two-a loss of sixteen. In
1910, the Middle States and Maryland
had eighty-one, and in 1870 will have
but sixty -four-a loss of seventeen. Ac-
cording to this exhibit, the Eastern and
Middle States in 1840 had majority of
eigthty-seven over the West, but accord
ing to the next census will have but
three majority. By adding.Kentucky to
the West, where that Journal thinks it
properly belongs. that section will have
ninety-one Representatives to pit against
the eighty-six from the Atlantic States.
After the census of 1870. the next House
of Representativ elected will contain
more than one-third from the West,
and, united to the South west, it says,
"will give US clear majority in that
body, rs we'll as of Presidential cleo
tors" Besides this, the South will
make gain of thirteen members on the
colored people-a very sensible increase
to her political strength. The next
ratio for a Congressman will be one to
l65, 900 people.
These fucts and deductions will look
quite alarming, no doubt, to the politi-
clans of the older States down East, but
it is not quite certain that the Southern
States. already taught self-support and
reliance, will join hands with the North
west upon all questions of Government
polity or even upon one. They may use
their power selfshly for their own Sec
ton, and doubtless will. Then, again,
there is q considerable power on the Pa
cific slope which is rnpidly enlerging,
and that power will not have very much
in common with either the Atlantic sea-
board or the Mississippi Valley. Besides
this, the great West and Northwest are
so large. and so diversified, one way and
another. that the complication of inte-
rests and ambitions will hardly ever per-
NIT their representatives to unite against
the welfare of the older States.

IMPORTS AND EXPORTS. of

in the eleven months ending May 3lst,
1859, $379, ,279. 245 in merchandise and

and domestic produce, showing def

Commerce, $51, 800. 353 have been sent in

other ports merely to land here and 90
out again, only $50. 205, 241 of it we're
available toward discharging the debt.
This left $84, 1856, 973 to be paid for in
our bonds, which is no payment at ALL
but merely the funding of the debt.
This is for eleven months, so that for the
year our deficiency in payments of all
kinds will be nearly or quite $94, 600, 900.
And yet one Of our contemporaries, in
the face of such exhibit, sneers at our
cautions, and boasts that the country sis
not ruined yet !" How long will it take
us to reach that goal at this rate? The
abstract for twelve months has just been
received from Washington. The total
imports of all descriptions in gold value
exceed the total exports of all descrip-
ions 500, 792, 900 by the official returns.
About SO per cent. of our imports, CT

of our re-exports, or 67 per cent. of the
aggregate, was transported by foreign
vessels.

A SUCCESSFUL CAREER.-In the early
rush to California. poor boy named
Charles Crocker, crossed the Missouri
with an OK team ct Omaha. on his toll
some overland journey to the new gold
regions. Nineteen years afterward to a
day, he arrived at Omaha on his first re-
turn visit to his old Eastern home. He
came accompanied by his family, in his
own special car, for he is now Superin-
tendent of the Central Pacific Railroad,
and every mile oft has been built under
his supervision. He may we'll feel an
honorable pride in the great work with
which ho has been so closely identified
His party were four days from Sacra-
mento to Omaha; and on arriving there
delighted the citizens with blooming
flowers, and feasted them upon berries,
oranges and luscious cherries from Cali
fornia, brought upon Alaska ice, 1900
miles, through the green valley of the
Pacific slope, and through the lingering
snow drifts of the Rocky Mountains. It
seems like story from the Arabian
nights.

The Winnsboro NeuS, of the 18th,
states that it regards this as fixed fact,
to wit: that we have now Government,
both State and national, of the majority
whose will is law, and that its efforts,
therefore, will be to make that majority
as wise and virtuous as possible. 1t pro-
poses to put the majority at once to
school, and the first lesson that it wants
to teach the Republican party, is to have
said party adopt an educational test in
the matter of suffrage. The advice Of
the Ne,cs is good, but we fear that it does
not yet command the confidence of its
new alliance sufficiently to have its coun-
sci accepted. Abiding to this new form
of government, which the Ne,cS is con-
strained to accept, it claims that said
government, "wisely and virtuously ad-
ministered, has all the advantages of an
immense concentration of power and an
Irresistible sweep of authority" The
difficulty is that it will have all this,
whether "wisely and virtuously admins
tered" or the reverse. Old Mr.. Trapier,
of Georgetown, was in the habit Of say
ing, years ago, that we would never have
things right in this country until the
Emperor should come to live in George
town. AS between the government of
the Ne,os and the empire of Mr. Trapier,
we prefer the latter.

An explorer named Cameron is conf
dent that there exists, in remote part
of Borneo, a race Of men with tails, and
he is going on an expedition to investi-
gate the matter. He also states, conf
IDENTIFY, that far away in the interior of
Africa similar race of men is known to
exist. More than twenty years ago, Du
Couret, we'll known French traveller in
Africa discovered, in central part of
that continent, the existence of race
called the Manu- Mans, or men with
tails; and the evidences laid by him be-
fore certain scientific bodies in Paris
were deemed to be conclusive on the
subject. It will be interesting to trace
the further developments of this matter,
since the discovery of tho link between
man and brute will tend to reinforce the
Darwinian theory of species, besides
throwing light on the natural history of
the negro.

The Western States are just as much
interested in the project of Chinese
emigration as the South. BY it, they
expect to make themselves independent
Of the Eastern manufacturers. and be-
come disenthralled from the tyranny OF
trade organizations. The entire radical
press ut the West, with but one or two
trihing exceptions, writes in support OF
this new industrial movement. We need
not express our qualification at this
unity, as the South and West will be
powerful enough to successfully resist
any measures adopted by the Eastern
nonopolists to throw obstacles in the
way Of the new emigration. Tits bit
ter pill for the New England radicals,
but they must swallow it.

DEATH OF MARSHAL NEIL.-A cable
despatch from Paris announces the death
of Marshal Adolphe Neil, one of the
most prominent military men and states
men of France. Marshal Neil was born
in Muret in 1902. He entered the Poly
technic School in Paris in 1921, and the
Military Academy of Metz in 1928, and
commenced his military career in 1926
as second lieutenant of engineers. In
1857 he distinguished himself in the
expedition against Constantine, in AL
geria, and was promoted October 25,
1887, to command the corps of engineers
in that province. On his return to
Franco he gained distinction as mill
tary engineer, and was appointed colonel
in 1910. In 1849 he accompanied Gen.
Valiant in an expedition to Rome. He
became general of division in 1858. COM
manded in 1864 the siege operations
against Bomarsun, and in 1866 was ap-
pointed adjutant of Napoleon Ill, and
was employed in the seige of Sebastopol.
In 1857 he became member of the
French Senate; in 1860 he took promi-
nent part in the italian campaign, and de-
cided by the skillful operation OF the
artillery under his command the victory
of Solferino, after which he was made o
Marshal of France. g."

The fire last evening was at the Stone
wall Engine House, at the corner of
George and College streets. It was,
without any shadow of doubt, the act Of
incendiarism, and began in the closet
When the alarm was given and persons
rushed to the spot, the smoke was issuing
densely from the cracks. On opening
the door the whole floor was found en-
veloped in flames. On trying to roll the
engine and hose carriage out, the wheels
of both were found tied with ropes.
Fortunately they were soon cut, and the
engine and reel saved. The company
has lost some property, and the house is
utterly ruined. Charleston Courier.

Extract from a letter from Santa Croir.
We had wandered for
many hours through tangled forests of
Tropical shrubs md trees, some of them
emitting most delicious and invigorat-
ing odor, when we suddenly came upon
q large and we'll cultivated plantation, in
the centre of which were several build
ipgs. Entering these. we found them to
be the ''press houses" stills, &c., where
the sugar cane is crushed for the manu-
facture of st. Croix Rum. Over 100
coolies were at work, and the smell from
the fermenting vats was very exhilarating
and pleasant We were shown through
the entire establishment, and learned
that all the Rum here produced was
shipped to Messrs. P. 81. Drake &c Co.,
New York, to be made into their cele-
brated PLANTATION BrTTERs. The pecu-
liar good effects of this Rum-whioh is
the purest and best in the world-are
we'll known. Not single case of Dys-
pepsia, Fever and Ague, Consumption,
or any such disease can be found on this
Island, Except of invalids, who come
here for their health, and they are almost
always cured.} Combined with Calisaya
Bark, Cascarilla, and other important
ingredients, this Rum becomes PLANrA-
AAoS DAf1InS, ahu surely no unsr Ionic
and general Family Remedy was ever
seen. The combination of these Bitters
was first discovered here many years
ago, and all the Natives swear by PLAN
TATIoN BIrTERs, and say 'there is no
thing like it," Judging by the robust
health of the witnesses. am certain
their testimony is true. r. s. T.

Pon1cn INrE111aENoK Richard john
son. (colored,) who resided in Columbia
about six months ago. but has recently
been travelling about the Southern
States, was overhauled by Policeman
Gurley, a day or two since, at the re-
quest OF Mr.. r. Mayrant. Cause-John-
son was discovered with pair CT pants
which had been stolen from Mr.. May
rants residence. After little genae
persuasion, tLe- prisoner was carried to
the lookup. Chief Radcliffe took him
in tow, and after considerable cross
questioning, succeeded in obtaining a
partial confession from johnson. Upon
searching his place of abode, articles
were found which had been stolen from
the residences of Messrs. Waring, Alex
ander. Mayrant, Guignard and Mrs.
LOOMS. In one of tho dwellings visited,
the robber lit FIRE and made prepara-
tions for cooking supper, but was dis
turbed and frightened away by colored
woman. johnson says he has no assist
ants-doesn't want any partners; and
circumstances tend to the belief that his
statement is true.
The colored boy who was arrested on
the charge of r~bbing the money drawer
of Mr.. Volger, has made an affidavit
that he was not the robber-but that
he received share of the profits.
WHAT CAN DE Done IN SOUTH CARO-
L1NA.-We paid visit, yesterday, to the
model farm of Mr.. James NJ. Crawford,
in Cotton Town, near Columbia, and in
speoted his cotton feld-which, in size
and quantity of the bolls, far exceeds
anything we have ever seen or heard of
the famous Georgia brag acre, of
which we published an account, day or
two ago. not excepted. An old and ex-
perienced Mississippi cotton planter
made ON examination and calculation of
the crop on one acre as it stands in the
field-the "brag" lot--with the follow
ing result: He counted three stalks,
taken indiscriminately from this patch,
which averaged 800 bolls to the stalk;
SO rows to the acre; 70 stalks to tho row;
allowing 100 bolls to the pound, shows
1O,920 pounds to the acre-provided, of
course, that it natures. Some of the
stalks had over 500 bolls. Mr.. Crawford
has another most excellent lot of four
acres, the smallest stalk counted in it
containing Sc bolls; another 156, and
still another 358-an average of 200
bolls to the stalk. The entire crop was
grown from the well-known Dixon seed.
Doubters can examine this cotton at any
time. The ordinary stable manure was
principally used, and the soil is far from
being the best in hisvicinity. Thorough
tillage did the business. Mr.. Crawford
declares that a man who cannot make
good crops in Richland, had better lay
aside agricultural implements.
