Climate and Industrial Energy.

The Missouri Republican supposes
that all the difference between the
North and the South in the industri-
al character of the people is attribu-
table to the difference in climate
call over the world temperature is
admitted to determine the industrial
character of the People" 1t is there
fore concluded that the Northern
energy down South, of which SO
much is said, will, under the influence
of climate, become Southernized and
impaired.
The solution Of this problem is, to
leave the laws of nature to work
out their own results. Sweep down
artificial barriers, and leave each
race to seek those portions of the
earth where it best thrives, and in
less than half o century we shall find
all the blacks inhabiting the hotter
portion of the Republic, and all the
whites occupying ATTITUDES more
congenial to their health and vigor.
If everybody could be brought to
earn his own living by his own per-
sonal industry, this separation OF tho
races by the force of natural law
would, be speedily effected. AS things
now are the aristocracy will keep the
negroes scattered among the whites,
acting in servile capacities, and viii ties
will continue to have large possess
ions in the climate God made for the
negroes, and thus keep the blacks as
servants to work for them, and ena-
BILE them to live luxurously in indo,
lent ease.

WooL.-The amount of wool un-
sold and stil in the hands of pro-
ducers, on the first of April, was
reckoned at nearly eleven millions
pounds. 1t is also estimated by the
National Agricultural Bureau, that
the clip of wool for the year 1869
will fall short OF tho demand for
manufacture, but that the surplus of
last year will about balance the de-
mand. So that next year, in all hui
man probability the supply will fall
short of the demand

nA-T The Washington correspond
ent of the New York Times gives a
correct version of the story reported
last week about the failure of Senator
Sumner, on recent occasion. to see
the President, and his feelings in con-
sequence. Mr.. Sumner did say to
the door-kseper, in response to the
report that General Grant was busy
and would like to know If his bust
ness was important, that he never
called unless he had business of i'm.
portance; but he added "if he il
very much occupied / will not press
an interview to-day" 1t is not true
that there is any GOODNESS between
General Grant and the Senator. The
business on which Mr.. Sumner called
was tc request the appointment of
Mr.. III. NJ. Turner as Postmaster ut
Macon, Ga, which has since been
made. Mr.. Turner is colored man.

water Power Negotiations.

Ottawa was honored on Thursday by a
visit from a couple of capitalist who came to
'aook at our water power project, and, if the
affair struck them favorably, to make prop.
osition for its Improvement. In company
with number Of our leading citizens, they
spent most Of the day in examining the
ground, and it Is at least good deal in favor
Of the project to he able to say, that men of
their evident practical knowledge and expe-
fisnce became not only satisfied that splendid
water power could DO created here at COM
parativcly small expense, but that, when i'm
proved it must pay. They.were not prepared,
however, to undertake the work without max
ing material changes in the present plans.
70 specify them would probably involve ad
ditional surveys. In q general way, however,
. proposition was submitted, under which
they would undertake the work. We pre-
sumo We violate no confidence in saying that
Che proposition is substantially as follows !:
Bonus, the land and $4,000 u city bonds
the city to take $4,000 in stock and citizens
$4,000. The work to be completed by the
LIST OF December. We learn incidentally, from
member or two of the Company, that this
proposition will hardly be accepted without
considerable modification. Whether these
notifications arc to become the subject of
further negotiation, we arc unadviscd.
We do not understand that in consuming
to receive proposition from these gentleman,
the offer of Mr. Cushman, made several weeks
ago, is to be regarded as withdrawn. Mr..
Cushman is entirely willing to let anybody
step in and take the job if he can do better
than Mr.. C. has offered to do. But in the
failure to find such man, we do not under
stand Mr.. Cushman to have "backed down.
But if We are mistaken in this, and our
water power project 10 again thrown back to
where it stood three months ago, then we
hope the people Of Ottawa will fool no longer
about it, but SO to work in tho way proposed
two months ago-that is, take her money and
build the dam, condemn what land she needs
to use the power, and let all the companies
