LESSON TO BE TREASURED.

There are three, and but three, Assembly
districts in our City which the Republicans, If
united and energetic, can generally carry.
They are the With, the IXth, and the Xlth.
One week before our late election, seeing
that rival organizations had put up rival Re-
publican candidates in the With and lXth,
we conferred with some of the leading sup
porters of each, and begged them to unite on
single candidate We were told that this
would dim the prospects of Horace Greeley,
who was running for Congress in the district
mainly composed of these two Assembly dis
tricts. We replied that this did not matter
we must elect Assemblymen wherever we
could Ultimately, the rival Republican can
didates in the With district were Withdrawn,
and II. n. Twombly nominated in their stead,
and elected. If he shall be cheated out of the
return, that is not the fault of Republicans.
The IXth district feud remained unhealed to
the last land in the Xlth, James NJ. Cross was put
in nomination at the eleventh hOur-manifestly
with no expectation of accomplishing anything
but the defeat of John V. Gridley, who had
been in nomination for a fortnight. We pro-
tested against this, and urged the Republicans
not to throw away the district, but our remon-
STRANGE was disregarded The Official Canvass
makes the vote for Assembly in these districts
as follows
TX. Costa, Republican 1,57O ONe Tammany). .2,2s2
Chamberlain, do....l.255 Davdsoni Young DEM 93l
Total Republican VOTE 2s25, or 500 more than O'Nes
XII GriGey Republican, 1925 OBren (Dcml. .....2,S7s
Cross. do............. Clio United Republican 1855
O'Brien over Grdley, l52; both over O'Brien, 45s.
We do not know what is thought of this by
its engineers; but pe think them unfaithful
to the Republican causeland to their brethren
throughout the State who honestly tried to
carry the Assembly. 1t was completely within
the power Of the Republicans of these two
districts to have given us Republican Assem-
bly,, and precluded the possibility of an unfair
Apportionment Of the State for Representatives
in Congress but they chose to squander
their opportunity and put the Legislature into
the unchecked power of our adversaries. We
tried to do our full duty in the premises; we
hope to do it even more resolutcly on the
very next occasion.

principle seems to be that when friendly
neighbor asks something Of thom in an AMIGA
BILE manner, they are bound to refuse it as
rudely as possible, merely to show their indie
pendencc. We dare say this is very spirited,
and inspires mankind with becoming awe of
the majesty of the Mexican Republic; still
that unfortunate country has 80 few friends
that it does not seem prudent to throw any
Of them away. Moreover, smuggling is one of
the most demoralizing pursuits to which
community can addict itself, and the Free
Zone probably does more mischief to Mexico
socially than to the United States financially.
Keeping it up for the purpose of annoying us
is like maintaining a nuisance in ones back
yard in order to spite the people next door.

their shouts or their threats. And their as-
sumption of authority to speak for tho West
to sav what "the West" will have, or won't
stand-is of q piece with their many shams
which dupe none but themselves.
Tn the present House of representatives,
Missouri is represented by seven Republicans
and two Democrats. In the Record OF the
faction of the House on the Tariff Question:
compiled by A. w. Netsch, and published by
the Free Trade Association, these members
are classified as follows:
"Total. Free Traders Jasper, Boyd, Mccormick,
BENJAMIN Fnkenburg WELSH moderate Probationary
Dyer) 2 Protectonists, ivan Horn and Burdettp'
Now. it is not disputed that three Protectionists
have been elected by the regular Republicans
of that State to the next House 80, at the
worst. we have lost nothing. All that the bolt
has effected is the betrayal of the State into
the power of the Sham Democracy and the
election of two or three Democrats to the next
House in place of anti-Protective Republicans
And of the NEWCOMERS who will greet tho
engineers of this bolt at their $50 dinner,
at least nine-tenths will be Democrats OF
the Copperhead variety. And this is as it
should be.
We believe the recent Elections in tho West
have resulted in an increase OF Protecti0nist
strength in the House. We certainly hold our
own, if no more, in Indiana, Illinois, Missouri,
Iowa, and Nebraska; we gained one IN Min
nesota ; if we have lOst one in Michigan, 1t was
on a purely personal issue. We believe WIS
cOnsn is as strongly with us in tine next as
in the present House; and we trust ONO is
more so. Yet the Free-Trade pamphlet already
quoted Classics the Representatives OF the
Western States in the present House as

Our dispatches from Paris will be found of
unusual interest, covering period from the
Sth 10 the 10Th of November They represent
she pressure of famine as already beginning
The city remains quiet and orderly, though
there is general and somewhat violent criti-
cism of Gen. Trochu. Advices from Orleans
OF the 10Th represent Gen. D'Aurelles de Pal
adines as busily engaged preparing three lines
of ntrenchments to cover his retreat in case
of q repulse in his next attack upon Paris.
He is said to be moving northward across the
front of the Flussian army with force varl-
ousy estimated at from 100000 to 10000. The
exact whereabouts of K6ratry's army has not
been clearly indicated for several days, but 1t
is supposed to be in position to support Gen.
DePaladines's advance, if it ever arrives IN the
rear of the German investing force on the
northwest side of Paris.

What the Crispins ask and purpose, as rep
resented by their leaders and well-wishers' is
clearly set down in an important letter from
Boston, this morning. They do not declare
positively against strikes, it appears,-and they
do ask State aid,-on both of which points we
should have been glad to believe the exact
opposite With them, we look to Cooperation
as the true solution of the Labor problem pu'
it is a solution which proceeds upon the theory
Of making laborers their own capitalists not
of bolstering them up by levics upon capi'al:
With them, we believe strikes productive oi
immeasurably more evil than good; but we
hope to see the day when they will therefore
decide to rely wholly upon other agencies for
furtherng their ends.

Though the returns of the Ninth Census are
not yet complete, it is already certain that the
total population of the United States mot
counting wild Indians) will fall below Forty
Millions indeed we believe it likely to fall
below Thirty nine Millions whereas Forty
two Millions were confidently anticipated by
the more sangunc apostles of Manifest Destiny.
Two States (New-H Hampshire and virginia.
have fewer inhabitants than they had ten years
ago whereas, so far as we can recOilect, no
former Census showed decrease in any State
unless its territory had been diminished since
the last preceding enumeration. But the States
of Maine, Vermont, Delaware, North and South
Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and
even Arkansas, show an incOnsiderable per
centage of increase; while Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New York. Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, ONO,
and even Indiana, have failed to hold their
own-that is to say, their ratio OF increase Is
less than that exhibited by the whole country
so that their representation in the next House
of Representatives is likely to be less than Ill
the present. Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas, Texas, and California, are the most
thrifty States though we judge Nebraska
likely to show ~ large per centage OF IN
crease as the best of them during the next ten
years.
Should Congress decide to make no change
in the act which fixes the number OF Repre-
sentatives at pa, the next House will probably
DO apportioned nearly as follows:

Here are 40 PrOtectiOnists to 30 Free
Traders representing the West in the present
House-our adversaries alone keeping tally.
They may have done q little better In the
elections to tho next House, but we doubt it.
We submit that, in the face of their own
figures, their habitual talk of the West" as
unanimous for Free Trade and opposed to Pro-
lection as an Eastern policy, is at war with
notorious facts.
The Detroit Post formerly edited by Carl
Schurz) pertinently says:
"some aspects Of our election worthy Of note by
Revenue Reformers-who would give US Free Trade In
our staple manufactures and thus out down wages and
put high tariffs tea and coffee and other foreign prod
ucs Of life to people thus at one blow
reducing and raising the cost OF living as no
home competition would regulate prices OF such imports
"Mr Moses W. Field OF this city was tho Republican
candidate for the State Senate in the First District one
of tho most hopeless in the State Two years ago. 1t
gave Democratic majority Of nine hundred and eighty
eight and Mr. Field with but twelve days for work. re-
duced this majority two hundred and twentysix and
no doubt would have had majority In another week.
"The people Of his district farmers gardeners. and
mechanics, and his gain was from all The towns or
Greenfield and Hamtramck gave him majorty-a
change Of hundred votes, largely among farm
erswho said by the Freeraders to favor Free Trade
Field is well known earnest advocate OF Proec
ton TO Home Industry and Manufactures He fought on
hat issue, and hat only In every speech and every doc
ument through his short and busy campaign, did no
other candidate any office In State The strength
he brought to the Republican cause greater In pro
portion to the szo Of his district and tho impor-
lance OF his office, than that OF any other
candidate; that his per centage OF gain In votes was
the greatest OF any Republican candidate In the State
This ~ a striking fact, which weakened Revenue Re
formers and facing both wsyspcople should make
note Of"
We are confident that there are not ten
Congress districts in the whole Union where
a similar canvass would not insure similar
result. We shall yet elect two Representa-
tives in Congress from ST. Louis expressly as
Protectionists-sh elect them so soon as the
issue can be made controlling and the ques-
ton discussed before the People. All we ask
is opportunity and fair hearing, and these
we shall yet secure.

The speeches Of so suggestive and original
worker in American politics as Gen. Butler
always deserve attention. That delivered
last night in Boston, which we print
on our second page this morning, will
only fail Of producing sensation because
of the fact that il is in the main merely an am
pliicatiOn of the views attributed to Gen. But
Ter in q careful letter from Lowell printed some
weeks ago in The TRIBUNE. Notwithstanding
the furtive efforts at denial of the accuracy
of that letter. it will be observed that the
Generals speech in no wise conflicts with 1t,
save that on one or two points he seems TO
have taken warning from the very decided
expressions of disapprobation with which his
views were received, and has accordingly soft
ened them little. Thus THE TRIBUNE let
ter attributed to him the declaration that on
the tariff the Republican party is split IN
"two by the backbone of the Allcghanies,"
willie Gen. BHtler now makes this
assertion only on the questions OF
"Gnance." So, with regard to Great Brit
ain. the letter attributed to him the remark,
1--WE VIII take from you all your provinces
"north of u.s. while he now says he would only
require that Great Britain should leave this
Continent and abandon Canada. So, too, he
has softened the proposition to fight IN case
of refusal to suggestion of non-inter-
course rather than war, although the
concluding part of the address is occupied
with adducing reasons in favor of war. Weneed
hardly repeat our earnest dissent from some OF
bis conclusions, or our conviction that the Amer
lean people, prizing Gen. Butler highly for bis
great services, will nevertheless hesitate long
before accepting him as leader on questions
of such critical moment, which he approaches
in so truculent a fashion. The General is
careful to question in no particular the accu-
racy of our previous statement.

IMPORTING THE NEGROES.

The peculiar position of the Black Man at
the South is leading to many schemes more
or less honest, wise, and sincere, but all in
tended, either for better or for worse, to
affect the social status and the political effect
of the emancipated class. The latest project
of the kind which has attracted our attention
is that of The Louisville (KyD Courier-JOurnal,
o DemOcratic' newspaper the managers of
which have brains enough to comprehend
that altered relations have brought new dan
gers and new duties. The Courier JOurnat
does MT especially love the negro, and rather
inclines to the opinion that he must be now
and always inferior to the White Man, for the
all-sufficient reason that he has "a bigger jaw
"and q smaller BRAIN" 1t graciOusly admits,
however, that "he is probably man and ca
"pable of improvement" So much being set
tied, the problem is presented of improving
him, not so much for his own sake as for the
safety and comfort of his Caucasian fellow
citizens. The plan of the newspaper is I. To
compel him by law to labor; g. To compel him
by law to be educated. To the first
part Of this programme there is the
objection that to force the negro to work is
simply to restore an obnoxious feature OF
Slavery, unless the same urgency is brought
to bear upon lazy and improvident Whites.
We presume that Kentucky has laws, stringent
enough if they are enforced, against Migrants
already. Whoever, through Incidence, is likely
to become public charge, whoever is able to
work, can get work, needs to work and will
not work, should be set to work and obliged
to earn his daily bread. This kind of Compul-
sorry Labor we do most highly approve-any
other might lead to intOlerable abuses.
Compulsory Education is neither very new
nor very startling thing. In many of the
States such a system has been established for
several years. The first step to be taken in
Kentucky is either to give the Blacks their
share of the School Fund or admit them upon
equal terms to the White Schools. We do not
expect great deal from the education of the
adult Freedmen but it might be great dis
aster should the next generation of Blacks be
ignorant.

The Free-Tradors are ut liberty to eat all
the dinners they pay for, and whether they pay
$40 each for Them or less, or more, is nObOdy's
business but their own. They have just as
clear n right to appeal to Congress for an
Protective Tariff, and to threaten ven
gcance if their demands be not conceded.
Our preference for celebrating victories after
rather than before they arc won, is no rule for
them. But we submit that both Congress and

We are afraid THE TRIBUNE has great deal 10 an

clean daft on the subject of news. DeSpa.ring Of
