A Storm IL Brewing.

We have been thinking for several days
what terrible castIgntlon there Is 10 store
for Ar. Senator Trumbull, chairman of the
Judiciary Committee of the Senate; for he
had the temerity on Tuesday last to move
that his committee be discharged from the
further consideration of all petitions for the
extension Of suffrage to women. He GER
tainly could not have had the fear Of Miss
Anthony and Mrs. Cady Stanton before his
eyes.
Mr.. Trumbull is altogether too practical,
and besides, he is II very ungraclous iudi-
yIdual of the masculine gender, and mayhap,
therefore, he does not think that women
ought to vote. But he will catch 1t. We
look for the next number of the RevolutioH
with some degree of anxiety. We don't be-
ueye that Mise Susan Anthony will ever
hken Mr.. Trumbuu to Achilles, or call him
the handsomcst man In the Senate as she
once called Mr.. Conkllngi neither will Mrs.
Stanton give him credit for possessing a
'very large heart" such as she said Senator
Pomeroy had.
Iu all seriousness, though, Notwithstanding
this motion of Mr.. Trumbull, We advise the
women rights women to possess their souls
in patience. II their cause be right and Just
Il will ultimately prevail. It took forty
years of agitation to abolish slavery, and it
would have take five times that number ot
years, in all probability, had not the war
power struck of tho fetters aud chains from
four millions Of human beings by a singlt
blow.

The fact or the probability that Prim, Ser
rano and Rivero viii be appointed as the
new Spanish Directory by the Cortes until
king has been chosen IL foreshsdowed. II
Is said that there is no harmony Of opinion
among these men; that all are ambitious,
Prim, the most able Of the trio, will aspire
to lead, and will not brook any interference
with his plnns; and, besides, he has the sup
port Of the army, and, through the military,
may precipitate q coup detdt which will over
throw all his rivals and place him above all
as complete master Of the situation.
serrano Is In no position with the peo-
pie or the army, and Is much weaker man
than Prim; indeed, 1t may be doubted whether
he has any strength with the army. He op-
poses Prim's plan for reorganizing the army,
and this accounts for his want Of popularity
among the officers and men.
Riyero Is regarded us weak and yacillat'
ing man, with none of the qualities or prac.
teal knowledge Of a statesman.
With such colleagues 1t may be easily de-
cided that Prim will be the Directory, and
will therefore control the destinies Of Spain.
The world will watch with solicitude the
coming Of events In that country. .

THB New wEsTERS UsIos TBLEGRAPH
orPrcH.- The Western Union Telegraph
Company have secured a long lease Of the
ground noor of the building on the corner OF
Pennsylvania avenue and Fourteenth street,
and Of the adjoining lot on Fourteenth street,
and ore now engaged in tearing down the old
building preparatory to the erection Of sub
stantial structure on Its site. That portion
Of the ground floor, soI4 feet, fronting on
the Avenue, will be devoted to the reception
of messages, while the room on Fourteenth
street, directly In the rear, 3lx45 feet, will
be assigned to the use of the delivery, record
and other clerks. The room over this will
be used exclusively as the operating room.
Each floor will be fitted up In handsome
style with all the modern improvements, In
cluding speaking tubes, dummies, &C., wash,
coat and other rooms. The third story will
contain the batteries and will be provided
with all the modern inventions Of utility In
this line. The work Is placed in the hands
Of Mr.. Thomas c. Wilson, and the office
will be removed Us soon afler the 4th OF
March as the pressure Of business will
allow. The company do not mean alto
gether to abandon the eastern portion Of the
Avenue, but will maintain an important
branch office at or near their present loca-
tion.
| Since the location Of this office ten years
ago great advance has been made In the
telegraph business. At that time there were
thirteen wires running from this city con-
Meeting with the various sections Of the
country. Now, this line alone has thirty
Ave wires connecting us with nearly all
parts OF the world. This is exclusive OF the
wires OF the two rival lines and its own
branches, which are numerous.
During this period Of ten ycars, Califor-
MIA, New Mexico, Utah and Oregon have
been brought into the telegraphlc "circuit,"
aud hundreds Of new stations added to the
list In the various States and Territories.
!, The Atlantic cable has also been brought
into successful operation, thus placing us Us
II were face to face with the old world. Is
1t improbable that before another decade
passes the Pacific ocean will be brldged, and
that the readers Of the REPUBLICAN will, as
they sip their coffee at breakfast, be able to
read what transplred in Canton and Pekin
the day previous, as they now do the news
from London, Paris aud Petersburgi When
this is done a message can be sent from
Washington and be received at Canton
twelve hours earlier than II starts; from
thence 1t can be sent to London, and six
hours more gained; and from London on to
Washington, gaining six hours more, thus
reaching Washington t'csntyJor hours be-
fore u starts.
To put it In another form, message may
be sent to Canton via St. Louis and San
Francisco, and be received there twelve
hours before starting, while one sent at the
same instant Via New York and London
will be received twelve hours AFTER starting.
We leave our readers to decipher this ap-
parent paradox.

Your readers will perceive that am bent
on helping to make the national revenues
net the hundred millions more under Grant
than they have been under johnson, that
being my scheme for getting back 10 specie
payments without financial conyulsion. I
desire to see savings made and revenue In

possible. Put Spinner In the New York

accomplished towards that so desirable end.
TIE RAMIE PLANT.
Mr.. Glover, the naturalist Of the Agricul-
tural Bureau, has done a good work for the
country In the introduction Of the Ramie
plant into the Southern States. The public
owe more TO him than TO all others for the
success which has SO far attended Its culti-
walton on this continent. Already results
prove that 1t is admirably adapted to the soil
and climate of our South; that grown there,
Its product makes a more valuable and at
the same time cheaper cloth than that
made Of cotton anywhere. 1t Is practically
q linen cloth, costing less than cotton goods
Of equal texture In its growth and manufac-
ture. 1t bids iair to create revolution, to
a very considerable extent, in the main ma
terial with which the world 10 now clothed.
II may take year or two longer before II
| begins to come Into general uBej but 80 soon
| as the plant shall be fairly disseminated
| throughout the South, the manufactured
product will surely be In the market every
| where.

ROBBERS IN DARLINGTON.

4 band of rowing robbers walked inro Dar-
lington and walked off with one hundred dol
lars. The Democrat. OF Wednesday, says:
Yesterday morning could be seen strolling
about our streets four strange negro fellows,
with apparently nothing to do. and no desire TO
do anything; but they deceived their appear
suce in the latter respect. Late in the after
noon, after l. aing around the store OF Mr.. JAS.
NJ. Staggers, Sr., until they became acquainted
with its arrangements. they all entered the
store, when three Of them engaged the old
gentleman, pretending to trade, on the opposite
side OF the store while the third one, it is sup
posed, crept around the counter on the other
side, and took from the safe which was open
one hundred dola g. There was more money
IN the safe, but 1t was not exposed to view.
MIR. Staggers did not discover the theft until
about eight o'clock at night. Search was i'm
medlately made for these negroes, but only
one of them could be found. he was arrested,
and is now in custody. The others have not
been arrested up to this time. They were
armed with pistols. The fellow in custody
saws his name ia William Jones, and that the
names of his companions are Henry Jones,
Robert Jones and John Washington; that they
are all employed on the mari works near
Charleston, but that their home Is at MIR.
John Graham's place, near Graham's Cross
Roads, in this district. This statement is no
doubt all false. They are professional band
of thieves and robbers, probably some OF Gov
ernor Scott's pet penltentlary birds that ne
has recently turned loose upon the public.
Look out tor them.

TIE CONFLICT OF RACES.
English View Of the Cninese Question.
From the Londol Times, j

From the Londol Times, July 29.l
Alone among the races OF the world they
(the Chlnese) confront rhe Englishman, and
produce as mach work with less pay. Other
laborers are often found 10 work for less wages
than the English laDorer. but they prove in
the end the dearer workmen to employ, be-
cause Of the insuficieney Of what they turn
out. The ChInaman iu large range Of en-
ployments overcomes this difficulty. and shows
balance in his own favor, and the resent
ment Of the N ,nual laborer he underblds 10 q

the Californian in effect says, ''upon that which
satisfies Chinese" and, in pursuance OF that
selt-preservation which is the frat Law OF ma
ture he proceeds 10 beat and stone him in the
sree s..
We venture to think the conflict OF races in
California will not be solved by import duties
or street outrages. IL would appear that in
California itself there are persons who find the
presence Of the Chinese useful and convenient.
The Californian sections OF the Pacific Railway
we're made with their assistance. and while the
work was thus cheaply done. il bears COMPARE
son with the sections completed by "navvise"
from another world. The same mail which
tells us Of the vigorous steps taken in Cali
fornia. informs US that convention has been
held at Memphis to devise means OF bringing
Chinese into the cotton, sugar, corn and rice
fields of the South. The Mississippi and Mis-
souri saileys, tne nlInes VI OoioIa9o, Ne.@ua
Arizona, the prairles still haunted by Indian
tribes, may b. contested between Chinese and
American immigrants. It is Impossible to
suppose that the Chinese can be KEEP Out, and
speculation may be better employed in con-
templating the functions they may hereafter
discharge in the wonderful polity in which
the States are destined to grow. Inheriting q
civilization more ancient and ecouomic meth.

Of moral fibre which supports authority, the

The Cincinnati Gazette says:
Thus has closed one of the greatest events
connected with tho business history OF the
city. It has secured the concentration OF
forces hitherto acting independently and re-
metely; the organization Of our aHtive business
talent in such manuer as to toll poroeptibly
upon the futura commerce Of the city. 1t has
brought us in contact with the people OF the
great South, with whom we are to deal. and to
whom We are TO look. to great extent. for our
futule growth and prosperity. 1t has demon
strated to us that we can provide much
more largely for ourselves than we have
ever done; it has brought many Obscure
but sklltul manufactures into the full hight
Of q great commercial centre, and laid the
foundation for them Of future trade and for

become by the dllIgent use Of the means with
which hpd Providence has abumdanLIy sup.

desire to promote the common good. and de-

work. It has stirred the business interest OF
the city to the foundation, and awakened a
spirit among our merchants that will greatly
aid us in gong in to possess the land that
shall be opeued to Us by the completion OF our

have been instrumental in bringing about these
