THE NRV SOUTH,

"Happy is that people" says a philosopher
"whose annals are dull" He was right; and
we hence conclude that the South, in the large
view. is doing well. Though afflicted with many
thousands of inhabitants who owe more than
they can pay, and Of course complain of hard
times-with thousands who can do nothing that
is of any use, and thus can find nothing to do
by thousands more who, vaibly bemoaning
an irrecoverable past refuse to adapt themselves
to the living present, and naturally find it ntoler
able-the South wears q more cheerful aspect
in 1870 than she did in either of tho last FIVE
years. Though idlers White and Black, still
throng her cities and crowd ner cabins, she
has more people at work to-day than she had
at this time in any previous year since 1860 ;
though she has still an immense area of arabic
land thrown out of cultivation, she will, with
fair season, grow and manufacture for moro
in 1870 than in any recent year. Her soil Is
still cheap, but not so utterly unstable M most
of it for years has been; her Railroads might
be better, but they are more servlceable than
of late, and are growing better month by
month. II the South can simply go on MS she
is going for ten years Longer, she will be richer
and more prosperous than she ever yet has been.

4 NEK US-CONSULTUlf.

Prince Bonaparte's acquittal is followed by M.
Ollivier's project Of a Senatus .Consultum comma
nicated to the Senate of France, in accordance
with a recent and well known letter of instruc-
tons from Napoleon. The curious result Of the
trial will go far to explain the appearance Of
one of the greatest projects of reform ever
made out at dictation of the Emperor. The
conjecture is inevitable that when so astute
o man, without any forewarning of his inten-
ton, instructed his premier to draw up o
scheme of reform the largest in scope yet pro-
posed by him, he foresaw the verdict
of Tours. The scheme is drafted almost
at the moment when the world learns that %
member of the imperial family has escaped
scot free from the penalty of q crime which is
punishable with death. What WONDER then, if
the world imagines the Emperor saying to
France: Forget this wretched scandal, and
I" only remember that l have endeavored to
atone for it with the greatest of concessions
Let oblivion be the price Of REFORM
What is this reform7 IL conceived in good
faith and fairly administered, it il the greatest
yet proposed to France. Our speculations as
TO its nature have been more abundantly yeri-
fed than we could venture to expect, inasmuch
| as the new project takes from the Senate
the power to tinker tho Constitution
and provides that it can only be changed by
the voice Of tho people on proposal of
the Emperor. We need scarcely explain
the breadth and depth of this measure
the effect of which, as a new part of the French
Constitution. must be to give to the Corps Leg
islatif a representative power which it has not
hitherto known, and to divest the Senate of
its absolute character. Napoleon will, for very
obvious imperial reasons, keep to himself the
tight to propose changes in the Constitution !;
he must either do this or cease to be. But it
is evident that in granting to frenchmen the
right to vote upon their Constitution he has
made an extraordinary concession, and given

The proceedings in the Erie-VanderbIt suit

Mr. Mungen has rendered himself so notori-
GUS by the introduction of foolish schemes into
Congress, that there Will be some suspicion at
tached to the resolution he introduced yester-
day, calling on the President for information
relating to the San Domingo treaty, giving the
names of persons and companies to whom
lands mines, franchises and privileges of all
kinds have been given by the Dominican Gov
eminent with the amount paid by the United
States Government preliminary to and concern
ing the negotiations Of such treaty. But the
resolution was very properly adopted, and we
doubt not the State Department will furnish
such information on the subject as may be in
its possession. 1t is well that Congress should
understand the details of this Dominican busl-
ness, before action is taken upon it that may
be irreversibe. Thus far but little official light
has been thrown upon it, and the country Is
still in the dark about many points upon which
full knowledge is necessary to proper Judg-

If the passage of a Congressional resolution
declaring chat the Christian religion is part
"of the common law of the land" could have
any legal or moral force, we would give our
opinion on the resolution introduced to the
House yesterday by Mr. Arnell. But even II
the declaration were true valid, and binding,
we would not be able to see the logic of Mr.
Arnell's deduction, that therefore the use OF
:" the Bible in the public schools in the coun-
"try is emnently wise and proper as tending
/" to encourage and foster virtue and morality"
In fact, Mr. Arnell's resolution is exceedingly
confused, and shows that he has studied
neither Aristotle nor the schoolmen-to say
nothing of the Constitution. the powers OF
Congress, State rights, and the educational sys-
tens Of the various States. We often wonder
that Congressman who take the trouble to
draw up resolutions on great questions OF pol
icy and administration do not at the same time
take the trouble to make their resolutions con-
form to the defnitive laws of the human I'M
derstanding

We give on the second page report Of tho
meeting at Steinway Hall, yesterday morning
of the Woman's Education Association, with
the address in full of Miss Catherine ?
Beecher, the founder of the Society. The sim.
pie theory on which the Association proceed,
is that to elevate woman she must first he
made independent. The :mode of doing hi,
which il advocates differs much from that
of the "noisy minority" who demand the suf
frage. The Educational Association contem.
plates the establishment and encouragement Of
industrial schools for women, wherein KNOW.
edge of the arts and manufactures open %
female labor may be acquired. The address Of
Miss Bcecher, in which this policy is elabor
ately set forth, may be studied with advantage.

The full force of the admission by the Havana
Diario, that 1000 square leagues OF Cuban
territory belong to the rebellion, will not be
ignored by sanguine observers of the persistent
and indomitable struggle of Cespedes and
Jordan. There are but 1904 square leagues in
the whole island, and taking from these the
Cnco Villas and other tracts SCARED by the
rebellion, Spanish power actually holds
less than third of Cuba. Even if
there be no intention to grant the
actual possession of more than twO-thirds
of the island to the revolutionists, the admis-
sion that they overrun two thousand square
leagues of territory is of great meaning 1t is
so much more candid than any allowance OF
the kind made by the organs of Spain In the
United States, that we gladly record it.

| The last effort at charter building was INTRO
duced in the Assembly last night by Mr. Frear.
We give an abstract of the main provisions on
another page. The leading points are much
| like those already prepared and defeated. The
! charter provides for - Aldermen chosen by
| general ticket, and an Assistant for each AS
sembly district; all to be elected in May, and
10 take Office the 1st of June Regular cleo
tons are to be held in November, with the
general State election. The powers of the Com
mon Council are considerably enlarged. The
Controller and Corporation Counsel are not
nterfered with; they are to be chosen by the
people. The Street and Croton Water De-
partments are abolished, and a Board of Public
Works is put IN their place; the Police De
partment remains substantially unchanged; the
Mayor has nothing to do with il; so with the
Fire Department, and also the Board Of Health.
There is to be Board of Public Parks, but
it does not appear that the Central Park
is interfered with. The Department of Public
Buildings is about the same as the present
superintendency. All heads Of departments
NAV appoint and dismiss subordinates at
pleasure, except that the City Chamberlain
peter B. Sweeny) must not be dis
turbed. The Common Council cannot vote
away money except by three fourths of
all elected to each Board, and in case Of
celebrations there must be q fourfifths vote
The present election regulations are preserved
so far as the city is concerned, and the
Police are, as now, to guard the
polls One remarkable provision gives power
to the Mayor and Controller to remit
assessments upon churches, religious, and char
liable houses, and the like, upon their own
judgment. The usual provision about bribery
and corruption of Common Counclmen and
city officers is kept in. 1t is reported that this
! is a compromise charter for which the Demo
Gratis of all shades will vote. We shall see.

The debate on San Domingo has been made
interesting by the speeches of Messrs Carpen-
ter and Schurz for and against the treaty. Yet
we are still in want of the light of fresh
idea on this vexed tropical question; nor do
we think that Mr.. Schurz has met the case by
a general pharasaic denunciation of Spanish
American peoples. We have duties to them as
they have to us. no matter what their color or
temperament, and our task is to know just
when and where that duty begins. Is it
possible to postpone this question foreverq

The kidnapping and enslavement of twenty
five colored Americans, now in Chihuahua, con-
stitute q crime, the enormity of which our
Government cannot too soon or too etfectually
denOunce. These captive outraged American
citizens must be surrendered instantly, for
their cases admit of no forbearance either
under Mexican laws or our own. Their
condition of Slavery is undoubtedly unknown
to the Government of Mr.. Juarez; but if We
are as slow in securing justice for these ne
groes as we were for the eight white men or less
maltreated at Monterey few years ago, they
may have to wait some time in captivity. We
have no right however, to cast the odium of the
chihuahua crime on the Mexioans. Its infamy
appears to be the special patent Of an Amer
lean citizen, and, wonderful to relate, the
Consul for the United States at chihuahua !!
As ex-Gov. Mitchell of New Mexico vOucbes
for these facts, we cannot too strongly urge
the Government to revise our present Consular
appointments IN Mexico. Are we TO be always
represented there by adventurers, swindlers,
slaye-tIaders, and the like2
