NORTHUMBERLAND.

The disposition of the present rulers
of the country, to grasp all power re-
gsrhess of the wishes or interests of the
people, has become SO glazing and un-
mistakeahle, that it is no longer treated
by the rejecting as disposition, but
rather as determination. The cry of
Ku Klux and Rebel has been skillfully
raised and repeated, so as to inducs the
misinformed of the Northern masses to
believe that Capitalization, consolidation
of power in the hands of Congress and
the President, was essential to save the
republic. In other words that in
order to save our republican govern
ment it was necessary to give our gov
ernors unrepublican, aye, imperial pow
ers. That which makes the crisis the
more alarming, is the fact that the Su-
preme Court of the United States has
become 50 completely the tool of Con-
gress and the President, that it seems
only to re register their edicts, and an
nounce that laws having been passed by
Congress and approved by the President,
it is disloyslty amounting almost to trea-
son to question the binding effects of
those acts.
What is most astonishing to US of the
South, who know from every day OBJ
servstion the complete falsity of these
Radical charges against our people, is the
ease with which sensible Northern people
permit themselves to bedeceivei By these
practical political jokes, and in their i'm
sginstions sup full with horrors. 1t is
strange, it is passing strange, that they
cannot see the political trickery in all this
cutlery about Ku Klux, treason and ram
pant rebellion in the South. They are
listening TO syren songs which will lure
them to political destruction. The people
of the North are far more numerous and
more wealthy than the people of the
South. If the former can submit to the
evils in store for them from a continue
ton of Radical rule, we will with our
best grace share their fate.

ministraiion must still retain some hopes
of carrying Kentucky and Tennessee by
the aid of the bay onet election bill, for
in those perfectly quiet and orderly States
it has stationed three companies of cav
airy and eighteen of infantry. The hope
less condition of Radiealism in Missouri
is acknowledged by the withdrawal of all
troops from within her borders, not sim
gle company of any arm being stationed
In our State. The reserves, however, for
the common benefit of the South (and
perhaps also for ourselves) are judlciously
placed. The Indian territory of peace
able, civilized Cherokees, Choctaws, etc.,
holds eleven companies of cavalry and
nine of infantry. Radical Kansas en-
tertains five companies of the former arm
and seventeen of the latter-all very con-
venient to Texas, and entirely disposable,
as they have nofghting or poll reg ulating
TO do where they are nominally stationed.
To sum up, of the one hundred and
twenty companies of csvalryin the United
States army, forty eight, and of its two
hundred and fifty companies of infantry,
one hundred and seventeen are stationed
in the Southern States or in Kentucky,
Kansas or the Indian Territory. In addi-
ton to these, eleven companies of cavalry
and two of infantry are in Nebraska, and
eleven companies of cavalry are assigned
generally to the military departments of
the South and of Missouri. Thus over
orse-hG!f of the entire cavalry force and
nearly one-half of the entire infantry
of the United States army is idling in the
South, or at convenient striking distance
of it, on the pretext of Ku-
Klux Outrsges, but really in pre-
paration for bayoneting free suf
frage. Meanwhile the commanders in
our exposed frontier settlements are clam.
oring in vain for reinforcements to pro-
ttct our pioneers and their wives and
children from the raids of inhuman saw
ages. In all Montana, threatened with a
Sioux war, which Gen. Sheridan says is
but short question of short time, there
are only three companies of cavalry and
twelve of infantry. The wide expanse
of New Mexico, Arizona and Utah, the
homes of the Csmanches, Apaches and
other imrlacsble enemies of civilized
M an, is protected by but twenty five COM
panies of cavalry and twenty six of
infantry, absolutely less force than that
which, with no Indians to fight or watch,
hangs like threatening storm cloud over
Texas. rg I'D

KING OnTINN


In 1860, the sum paid to India for cot
ton was about 81, 500, 900; but in 1864
it had increased TO $3.50, 900, 900; and the
average annual amour: RENTED from
England for cotton during the past eight
yerrs is stated at $115, 900, 900 showing
an aggregate increase in the value of the
India cotton trade during this period, Of
about $3.50, 900, 900. This astonishing
growth has been followed by cores
ponding development of the cotton-pro-
ducing districts of Turkey, Egypt, and
Australia. Since 1852, the pre- .eminence
of Egypt has been notable fact in the
history of cotton culture. Dir.
Watts writes that in tina. year
cotton began to be 80 much in favor
that cereals were almost neglected, and
the enormous profits derived from lts cul-
tivation during the American war led 10
the abandonment of the ordinary success.
zion of Crops-s result which the late
Viceroy, Said Pscha, beheld with sppre-
hension and alarm" The present Khe-
dive, however, has encouraged the new
industry, and during his visit to London,
in 1867, gave much attention to the selec-
ton of cotton seed, and to the measures
best calculated to render the crops ex
cellent and abundant. Cotton culture is
now firmly established In Egypt, and both
the government and the people are alive
TO its Importance.
These facts, remarks the New York
Commercial Advertiser, indicate the
character of the change which is gradual
ly coming 10 our Southern States
change which will deprive the cotton
fields of their fsncied advantages, and
lead the planters to cultivate cereals for
home consumption. The altered oondi-
tons of labor, the partition of old c.
tates, the loss of fortune, the necessity of
giving larger areas of land to the cultiva-
ton of corn and grain, are some of the
causes which must produce marked
changes in the South; and with the COM
plete explosion of the fallacy that cotton
is king, will come better system of agri-
cultural development sounder financial
basis, and the encouragement of the
working classes, who are the real rulers
in q republic. Certain districts of the
South, fitted for little else than the cul-
ture of cotton, will continue to furnish
supplies for the home and foreign de-
mand, but the extraordinary develop.
ments of ten years in other fields show
that in the grsnary, rather than in the
cotton bale, the elements of future pros
perity will exist.
If not from these and similar facts and
Figures, we hope that the people of Ten
ri =, .ess will soon learn that which the ex-
n, srience of every year teaches, to wit,
tteu success and our prosperity does not

We find the following dispatch going

RADICAL PERSUADERs.

The st. Louis Republican gives us
the location of large portion of the
army. 1t is straw tina! tells which way
the Radical wind blows: In all New
England there are ten companies of Uni
ted States troops, all artillery, and barely
enough to take care eff the numerous forts
on her coast. New York is favored with
twelve companies of artillery and thirteen
of infantry, chiefly at the forts in the
single harbor of New York, convenient
not only for an election campaign in that
Democratic State, but also for q raid into
the doubtful States of Connecticut ard
New Jersey. Pennsylvania has none
doubtless Cameron is thought capable
of taking care of her, and in case of need
the city of New York is within few
hours by railway. Maryland and
Virginia are so hopelessly Democratic
that it would be waste of material to
use troops in either of them; therefore,
eleven companies, all of artillery, are sta
toned within their limits, merely TO keep
the forts in proper trim. On entering
North Carolina, the Cloyen foot of the
bayonet election act is first seen in the
semblance of one company of cavalry,
while five companies of artillery are held
in readiness in the forts to be brought out
against the Ku-Klux should the Cavalry
succeed in unearthing any. The carpet
Dagger State government of South Caro-
lima is encouraged by the.presence, aid
and comfort of no less than four compa-
MES of cavalry and five of il fantry; that
of Georgia by like force of infantry,
and that Of Florida by three companies
of the same arm, while eleven companies
of artillery take csre of the forts in those
three States and form a reserve for cleo
ton purposes. Alabama, without even a
company of artillery for Mobile harbor,
has six companies Of infantry, which,
should 3 chance arise, can ope-
rate at tie proper polls within
that State to decide any close con
test. The good Radical State of Mississippi
gets along with three companies of in
fantry, Arkansas with but one, aud the
foresight of the administration in provid-
ing against the possible consequences of
q split in the Radical party in Louisiana
is evinced by the presence in that State
of ten companies of infantry. But the
great prospective political battle ground
in the South being Texas, and the Demo
Gratis having determined to make q siren
uous effort to carry it in the next canvass,
the bayonet election devil there shows
not merely his hoof, but mis- horns, tail,
pitchfork and all. A Radical purity of
elections in that State is secured by the
presence of no less than twenty. four
companies of infantry. Artillery not be-
ing of great utility at elections in the
Gulf States, not a single company of
that arm is stationed in any of
them west of Florida. The sd-
