rH1 NEW DEPARTURE.
!, FRIDAY, JULY q. 1871

The "new departure Z" has just died
A terrible death at the hands of Gen.
roombs, In wilkes county, Georgia.
The date Of this sad event, as we learn
by Alexander Fl. Stephens Sun, was
the Fourth Of July. We are told the
people came from far and near to hear
MI. Toombs, and the town Of Wash
ington was literally packed. 10 quote
tho rhetorical and eloquent San:
The speech 10 reported to have been . thun-
s=:s..assS. q eloquent ssS !, t1 SsasSssi is sss e . Int
the new political bAntling was stripped OF It's
~swaddling clothes, and then torn Into fazzles
and tnrned loose upon the whirlwiud Of his or
atosy. And it IL now said that In all Wilkes
county there IL not . man who would Willingly
pick mp Q fragile, or even admit that ne was
ever Inclined 10 depart"
This, In Its way, Is something worse
than the awful storm just reported
from Dayton, Ohio; more damaging
than the storm which has devastated
the sJ1nrry about Syracuse; more
windy than the blow reported from
Nebraska. It will not be safe to de-
eide the coming Presidential election
until Wilkes county, in Georgia, has
been heard from. Something should
be done by the Democrats of the coun-
try to put a stop to General Toomb's
speeches. r

The Memphis Appeal calls the at
tention Of the Hon. Horace Greeley to
the following note, ain the hope that
he will do justice, though the heavens
fall :"
EDITORS ArPEAL Seeing the name
Of Horace Greeley In the columns Of
your paper, | presume he Is the same
elderly gentleman who when m Texas
would triffel with the feelings Of a lone
widow, who lost her husband In the
late war. The exact words he used
was, "he came to heal the wounds
caused by the late war, and he offered
the hand Of fellowship, that all parties
be reconciled." As q modest woman,
I did not accept his proposal, although
| intended to do so, had he pressed
suite. He has failed to do so, however,
and I have cince larned that the gay
deceiver has q wife somewhere In the
state of New York. Please pass him
around. Yours, WIDOW MALONE.

efIeot. Fourteen varieties OF howers In bloom In
the open air at Port Townshend on the 4th day OF
January last were received by Horace Greeley In
New York, on the Both day Of January, enclosed In
a letter which contained proofs OF the genuineness
of this extraordinary and conclusive testimony In
favor of the midness OF the climate Of w Washington
Territory.
"The weather Of Vancouver Island, on the testl-
meny OF the recorded observations made by Ratray,
is mder and ste a1ier than that of England; the
summer longer drler, and finer, and the winter
shorter and less rigorous The mean annual tenn
perat ure Of the former is higher by 9s deg than
that Of the latter. During the summer months the
hot weather OF Vancouver Island is not so oppres-
sive as that OF London, and the maximum tempera-
ture is less by ID deg, while in the winter the tenn
perature falls 80 low in Vancouver Island as
in London, and the annual range OF the two places
differs by 1917 deg. in favor of Esqulmalt"

7HE ALARAMA CLAIMS.


THE indications are very plain that the En-
glish are getting heartily sick of the Alabama
claims, and that they are both anxious and
willing to have them settled in such a manner
that there will be no danger of their revival
at any future time. The days of repentance
have set in, and because the repentance is
that of the thief who is caught in the act and
who wishes to escape punishment, it is proba-
bly, none the less sincere. England's Euro
pean relations at the present time are such
that sound policy dictates the necessity of
quieting as far as possible the enmities that
exist on this side of the Atlantic, for there
is wholesome fear existing in the
minds OF the ruling classes that in case
of war the United States would undertake
to settle the Alabama claims and our Esenti-
mental" damages along with them by pursu-
ing the same line of policy that England did
towards us during the Rebellion. The Lon
don Times, which generally reflects an impor-
tant order of public opinion very correctly,
after certain complimentary illusions to our
new Minister, General Schenck, expresses the
hope that he will be able to effect settle
ment, without compromising England 8 honor,
of all the legitimate claims of the United
States in respect to the Alabama and other
national irritabilities now existing. The
Times declares that England only
desires, by fair concessions and
frank allowances, to bring about
a settlement of the foolish quarrel which
alienates two great nations allied by blood
and sympathy. This is very different from
the kind of utterances the Times indulged in
some ten years ago; and the anxiety now
being displayed in England to bring the
quarrel between that country and the United
States to conclusion indicates that there is
beginning to be an appreciation of the fact
that it is not a foolish one. The payment of
the Alabama claims would only go a small
way towards pacifying the ill feeling that
exists in this country on account of the hos
tility manifested towards us in England dur
ing the progress of the Rebellion, but it
would at least have the effect of restrain
ing us from allowing such pratt
cal cruisers as the Alabama was
to leave our ports for the purpose of preying
affairs in Europe is such that England may at
any moment be drawn into conflict that will
demand all her energies, and the probabili-
ties are, therefore, that the Alabama claims
can ever be settled upon terms that will be
reasonably satisfactory to us. We sincerely
hope that they will be settled, for they have
been cause of irritation long enough, and
the American people ought to be glad to have
them finally and forever disposed of.

If we use our opportunities and improve our
connections with the country districts, and
with other centres of population, we may
surely reckon that the future growth of Phila-
delphia will be much more rapid than the
past.
The disappointment expressed with regard
to the late census of our city is not difficult
to understand. Our streets have been more
crowded with strangers for several years past
than ever before. Our hotels have been full
to overlooking. Manufactures have extended
in the suburbs, and a greater activity has
been apparent in general intercourse. The
character of our shops and stores has inn
proved. But our increased production has
not been met by corresponding facilities of
distributions; and this, above all, gives the
appearance of pressure of business aud
population. We need more railways to con-
meet with the country, and especially with
New York and Washington. Let us hope
that no narrow policy will thwart a single
meritorious move in this direction. Every
avenue out brings into subserviency to our
markets wide circumference of country,
cheapens food, and gives a fresh spring to
population.

THE SENATE.

Hon. Thomas w. Ferry, the Nominee of the
MichiRan Republican Caucus, and the Sue
cessor of Senator Howard.
A telegram from Lansing announces that the
Republican caucus of the Michigan Legislature,
on the sixth ballot, nominated Hon. Thomas w.
Ferry, at present Representative in Congress
from the Fourh Michigan district as successor
to the Hon. Jacob NJ. Howard,
whose term In the United States
Senate expires on the 4th of March next.
There has been very lively contest over the
nomination, the candidates being Senator How
ard, Ex-Governor and Representative Austia
Blair, eX-Representative William A. Howard,
and Mr. Ferry As the nomination is equivalent
to an election, ON account of the large Republi-
can majorities in both branches of the Legisla-
ture, Mr.. Ferry will enter the Senate as the
colleague of Zack Chandler, and the country
will be deprived henceforth of the efficient SER
vices of Senator Howard.
Mr.. Ferry was born in Mackinac Michigan,
on June 1, 1897. He is a self-educated man,
and has always been engaged in business pur-
suits. In 1850 he was elected to the State Legis-
lature; to the State Senate in 1855; for
eight years was an active member of
the Republican State Committee;
was q delegate at large TO the Chicago
Convention of 1860, and Vice President; was
appointed in 1868 Commissioner for Michigan
of the Soldiers National Cemetery at Gettys-
burg; and in 1864 was elected Representative
from Michigan tc the Thirty-ninth Congress,
being successfully reelected in 1866, 1868, and
1870. In the present Congress he is a member
| of the Committees on Post Offices and Post
! Roads, on Naval Affairs, and on Rules, holding
! the second position on the two former His
! standing in the House of Representatives has
been high and creditable one.
