We gave some facts yesterday about certain
remarkable movements of population which
are in progress in the Southern States,-shOw
ing that the colored race is moving toward the
cotton growing region of the far South, while
the poorer class of whites is moving toward
the newer States west Of the Mississippi. In
connection with these facts, we may notice
some statements made in the exhibit of last
years cotton crop, just published py the De
partment of Agriculture. In Alabama, the crop
of the past year was eight per cent more than
the crop of the previous year; in Florida, it
was seven per cent more; in Louisiana, twelve
per cent more in Mississippi, fifteen per cent
more; and in Texas, twenty-five per cent
more. In the Carolnas, Georgia, and Tennes-
see, on the other hand, the crop of the past
year averaged ten per cent less than the crop
of tho previous year. These facts are Curl
ously coincident with the movement Of the
colored population in the South. 1t has been
during the last twelve or eighteen months that
the migration Of colored laborers to the Gulf
States has been in noticeable progress. If this
migration continues TO increase as 1t has done
of late. we shall soon SEQ still further and
much greater increase In the cotton crop, as
well ~ iu tho 0olored population ID the Gulf

DEBTP
The Debt of the United States is little
more than Twenty-four Hundred Millions; if
we include its Endorsements for certain Rail
roads, it will be swelled nearly to Twenty five
Hundred Millions.
This is a large Debt, but we have this to
console us--it is a reduced Debt. On the lst
of August, 1865 it stood considerably above
Twenty seven Hundred and Fifty Millions and
it was the same a month later. We have since
paid off the Volunteers who had not then
been mustered out we have paid all our Vol
unteers a musteTing-out bounty; have
paid large sums in satisfaction of State and
other War claims and we have reduced the
liouidated Debt fully Three Hundred Millions
We were paying more than seven per cent
interest on large sums our highest rate is now
six and we can reduce that by courage and
resolution. We must be willing to bear a bur-
den in the present for the sake of securing a
far greater immunity in the future. Individu-
ais who are wise do this : why should not a
wise and provident peopIef
We can fund our Debt at lower rate if we
persist in vigorously reducing its amount by
payment. 1t is this feature of our policy
which wins general admiration and inspires
confidence. Other nations are seeking TO in
crease their debts; we are bent on reducing
ouIs. Hence. though Italy's debt is far less than
ours, her Fives are selling = Paris at 90, while
ours are worth so to 80. While we are paying
of, Italy fails to hold her own. nI
Mr.. Boutwell's monthly exhibit shows that the
Debt has been reduced less than Five Millions in
December, and he only proposes to buy Six
Millions in January. At this rate, we shall
hardly be able to fund our Debt at Al per cent.
In our judgment, we should resolve On fund
ing our Debt at four per cent, and to this
end should buy up and cancel Ten Millions of
bonds monthly till the last Five-Twenty had
been converted into four per cent Consol.
We believe so rapid reduction of the prin-
cipal of our Debt would enable US soon to
fund the residue at four per cent, and thereby
save in interest not less than Thirty millions
per anEum. Thenceforward, we might lapply
barely that saving to the liquidation Of piinci-
| pal. and so pay of our Debt while bearing no
greater burden than we now sustain in payihent
of interest alone. In our view, our Secretary
of tI.a Treasury will be shorn Samson from

At the recent election in Ohio sundry Re
pubcans in Cincinnati united with the Demo
cratic party in supporting what was called a
reform ticket, which they succeeded in electing.
The nature of the reform they accomplished
may be read in our dispatch from Columbus,
which shows that the organization of the Repub-
Ican Legislature was controlled in the inter
est of the Democratic party by these Repub-
lican reformers of Hamilton County. What
ever they may have gained by their strange
ai1iia5ion, it is manifest that at any rate their
Democratic allies have not yet lost anything.

The Pennsylvania Legislature, which opens
TO day, promises to be an interesting session.
The Republicans have majority of four in
the Senate and of twenty in the House, and
having also the Governor, will be respon-
sibIe for the legislation of the year.
Among the measures that are expected
to come up are the reduction OF
State expenses, especially in printing and
petty Offices, and a stringent law for the pre-
vengion of such fearful disasters among miners
as that of Avondale. Other subjects will be a
revision of the militia, and reorganization of
schools for soldiers orphans. A State Treas
user is the most important officer 20 be chosen.

Mr. Cornell Jewett writes us in further elu-
eidation of his Cable project; but does not
affect the main question. We wish well to his
Company and his Cable, but we are opposed to
all guarantees of interest or principal for such
enterprises by the Federal Government, and
especially opposed to any such until the Ma
tional Debt shall have been funded at lower
rate of interest. 1t is useless therefore, to
discuss with us the claims or merits of this or
that Railroad, Telegraph, Darien Canal, or
whatever the scheme may be: We insist that
the Government shall fund its own Debt in a
Consol bearing lower rate of interest before
it undertakes to guarantee other folks debts.
We have taken this position on full survey Of
the ground, and intend 10 hold it,

HOMICIDE NEAR MoUNDsvILLE-WC
heard, yesterday, Of homicide commit
ted near Moundsville one day this week
Ourinformant could not give us the names
of the parties involved in the sad affair,
but gave US, substantially, the following
particulars: Sometime since q convict was
discharged from the pcnitentiary at that
place, having served out his term of i'm
prisOnment. Remaining in that neighbour
hood he paid his addresses to the daughter
of q farmer, and succeeded in winning her
affections. In due course OF time the par
tics were married-neither the bride
nor the father knowing anything Of the
groom's previous history. Not long after
the marriage, the husband grew very abu-
sive and carried his reprehcnsiblo conduct
to such an extent that his wife was com.
PEELED 10 return 10 her fathers house.
Last Monday morning the man came
where his wife was stopping, and became
violent in his demonstrations towards her
and perhaps other members Of the family.
A brother-in.law who was present, en-
dured the abuse for sometime, and, losing
his patience and temper, seized musket
charged with buckshot, and fired upon
his sisters husband. The charge took CT
lect in the body of the unfortunate man,
and proved fatal two days after.

indlscretion, Fisher was fined ono dollar
and costs, and as he declared that he had
no money, We presume he went up for
five days. Philip Eckhart, for a plain
drunk, had to come down with the usual
dollar and costs.

ATTEMPTED sUICDE.-.A citizen Of

Dor Entering a drug store he inquired
for arseniC,and when asked what he wish
ed to do with it, replied, "to kill rats"
The druggist suspected that everything
was not right, and gave him some bt.car-
Donate Of soda. The would-be suicide
no sooner received it than he swallowed
a quantity sufficient to kill forty men II it
had been the article he demanded. Protest
ingagainst being trifled with in that way,
he renewed his request for poison. The
druggist having ascertained by this time
what the man really wanted to do with
the arsenic, brought down a jar from the
sheIfin which was white powder rcsem-
bling in appearance the article asked for.
A considerable quantity Of this followed
the former potion, but as it was nothing
more than sugar Of milk, no evil conse-
quenccs could possibly result from the
dose. Tho party now became indignant

design, and with mutterings not loud but
deep, he took his departure, let us hope,
with the determination to take a brighter
