REcApIruLATIoN OF Robbery.
Total

1t is barely possible that a portion of this
stupendous sum may be saved from the
wreck, by the inability of the plunderers to
sell fraudulent bonds and other intended
spoils. But in the most favorable light,
here is positive proof, that in ten States
desolated by the horrors of civil war, and
where the actual property has deprecated
fifty per cent. as compared with 1850, an
amount of money has been stolen equal to
one-tenth part of the national debt, Su-
peradded to the immense loss of wealth
and Of life, and following i'll the very track
of fresh destruction, came this organized
villainy which Congress licensed with i'm
punity for crime, and has protected through
all it's stages, with the most Odious and
oppressive legislation. Of the two hundred
and forty millions, which have been thus
loaded upon the back of an impoverished
and suffering people, fully nine-tenths of
that enormous sum has been absolutely APP
propriated to the ''loyar' scamps for their
own uses. That is to say, they have sold
the bonds, ostensibly issued for railroad
and other Improvements, for what they
would fetch in market, and pocketed the
proceeds, without even an attempt to cover
up the barefaced frauds, by initiating these
pretended enterprises.
Gloomy and forbidding as is this picture,
it is far from exhibiting the whole truth.
A diabolical ingenuity was exercised by
the official agents of Radicalism TO crush
out the spirit of the South and to suck its
last drop Of vital energy by the most cruel
| and infamous system of cXtOriOn. Hence,
they resOrted to practices Of local taxation
and personal plumber, which were infinitely
| harder TO bear, more prosecuting in their
effect, and more inqlIisitorial in operation,
! than all the wicked devices that had been
| contrived through the debt and its intend
ing corruption. These carpet-baggers not
only robbed the States, as has been shown
but they inaugurated their reign Ct rapine
by stealing the cotton in private hands
after the proclamation Of peace, which
aggravated far more even than all the
other gigantic frauds.
When these facts ana figures are con
sidcrcd, and it is remembered that the
Radical maiorities in Congress, in order tC
degrade the South still more, did what
Rome, in her widest career of conquest
refused to do, by making the slaves the
rulers of their recent masters, the people
will understand how it is that here ant
there. in exceptional localities, American
nature has revolted at this tyranny, an'
raised its ann to defend the sanctity Of TIE
| domestic tireSide.

The Great rowns of Germany

The results Of the late census, so far as
they are already known, seem to point
even more than the preceding ones to the
rapid growth Of great towns i'll Germany.
During the War OF Liberation, Berlin,
which had then $4,000 Inhabitants, was
the only town in Prussia with a population
of more than 100000. Berlin has nov
$4,000 inhabitants, and besides the capital
Prussia has ten cities with population of
100000 in round numbers or upwards
They are Dreslan, 100000; Elberfeld-
Barmen, 100000; Cologne, 100000; ko-
nigberg. 900; Magdeburg, with its sub
UrbS, NeuStadt, Sudcnburg and Buckan,
10000: Hanover, 100000; FrankfOrt-On-
Main, with Bockenheim and Borhheim,
104, 900; Dantzic, 100000; Stettin. 81, 900:
and Altoona, $4,000. In the rest OF Germa-
ny there are four cities which have pOpu-
lation exceeding 100000, viz: Hamburger,
10000; Munich, 1870 900: Dre4hen, III
600; and Leipsic, 10000; while four
have nearly reached that figure. viz: Stutt-
gard, $4,000; Nuremberg. $1,000; Bre-
men, $4,000: and StraSburgh, $4,000
Besides the aforementioned cities, Prlis-
STA contains seventeen towns with more
than 1900 inhabitants, which, according
to the new regulations, will therefore each
form an independent administrative circle.
Among these are Aix-la-CElapclle, so 600 :
Dusseldorf. $4,000: Crefeld, 10000; Essen,
$4,000: DuisbUrg. 10000; Weisbaden,
1000: Cassol, 1900; Halle, $4,000 :;
Erfurt, $1,000: Poscn, 10000; Elbinc,
10000; Frankfurt-on-OdCr. $4,000: Pots
dam, 1900: Dortmund, 1900: and
GOTlitz, 10000. From the above it ap-
pears that Prussia contains twenty-six CT
/ ties which enjoy independent administra-
. tive rights i'll the fullest measure, and which
together include nearly 100000 inllabi-
tantS, OF about one-eightll of the entie
population of the Kingdom.

What a. PrO(Ii giOus Difference 1T MAX es
Whose Ok is GOred!

While the United States are claiming
direct, indirect and consequential damages
from England for the action of yJricdte in
diUidudIS, in alleged violation of her ncu-
trality laws, startling revelations have come
10 light to verify the old adage that those
who live in glass houses should not throw
stones"
1t appears that during the late war be-
tween France and Germany, the United
States Government not only sold arms,
knowing that they were being purchased
ny the agents of the French Government,
but also,-as these arms were not supplied
with sufficient ammunition-had all adc-
quate supply manufactured at the L. s.
Arsenal at Frankfort, Ky. How complais-
ant in Uncle Sam to sell arms and ammu-
milton to France to kill off our good friends,
the Germans, and to enable her to prolong
the war for 1T least six months. When we
said week ago that Germany had as good
Il right to claim damages from the United
States as the latter from England, we did
not know that we were hitting the nail so
exactly on the head.
But why did this government connive at
such a gross violation of the neutrality
laws? Nay, worse than this-why did it.,
itself, commit this violation? All! here
comes the ugliest feature OF it all. Fraud,
peculation, bribery and corruption are at
the bottom Of it, and can be traced clear
up 10 the White House. Yes, the United

and she must pay the damages direct, in
direct and consequential, with Interest
simple and compound. Why, don't you
see the difference 1t was the Yankee
or that was gored tle2n!
This government, at the very outset OF
this enquiry, stands convicted by its own
confession of having violated its own neil
trality laws. While it protested friendship
for Germany, it was giving aid and COM
fort to her adversary and to her aione; for
if was very evident that victorious Ger
many did not want to purchase arms or
ammunition. She had captured more than
enough from France. To admit the absurd
plea of ignorance on the part of the Presi-
dent or the Secretary of War is to suppose
that they were more verdant than a whole
wilderness of cucumbers and if they pre-
tend ignorance in this case, with how much
more piausibility may the English govern
ment plead ignorance as to the Alabama?
But the problem still remains What has
become of two million two hundred thou
sand dollars still unaccOunted for after de-
Quoting commission, &C.? This is what
the French government wish to find out
| and why they ask for an enquiry into the
! conduct of suspected American officials.
| And in this connection the question arises
how were these " strongest influences
secured? How was the difficulty Of hay
| ing the cartridges made at the Government
arsenal ''got over" as Mr.. Remington says
| The reply is not doubtful. By purchasing
the omnipotent aid Of the military ring at
| Washington--a ring just convicted OF par
ticipating in the dirty populations of the
New York Custom House, and which, if
all that is said about them is true, have
transformed the White House into den
of thieves.
Senator Schurz, the great representative
man of the Germans in America, who has
more ability, craftsmanship and honesty in
his little finger than can be found i'll the
whole administration combined, has few
facts to lay before his countrymen to open
their eyes. He viii show that while Grant
was making protestatiOns of friendship tor
Germany, he was allowing his subordinates
to sell arms to France to kill off the Ger
mans and prevent the unity OF the Ger
man Empire. For the sake of making a
million or two for certain friends and
pets of his, General Grant did this
and we have it upon the best
authority that Mr.. SchIIrz says this is the
last feather which is to break the camel:
back, and that the whole German vote @
the Northwest is hcnceforth lost TO Grant
In the debate in the Senate lie said that h'
had several times endeavOred TO stop the
sales Of arms to France, but that seeing al
his circumstances useless, he had concluded
that there was a speculation and ring a
the bottom of it. We will soon sec whethe
the Administration are prepared to NEE
the investigation which the national homo
= demands.

FOrcstrHie, v. e., Feb. 10, 1872.
DEAR JOURNAL: The thirty-ScVcnth
anniversary of the two literary societies
came Off OH Yesterday, and we never be-
fore have seen such u thrOng of visitors at
Wake Forest. Every one present partic-
pated in the pleasures OF the day. and
never were people i'll better spirits to en-
gage in the mirth and enjoyment that is 50
common on such an occasion. Here and
there bevies Of the young and gay might be
seen reclining on the rustic stools or IT,
turning to the lighted halls, all busy i'll
some whispering accents OH the pleasure
and success OF the occasion.
] shall not attempt a description Of the
noble efforts of the orators suffice it for
the present TO say that they cqualed those
of any former occasion They possess a
rich store of talent of ITO ordinary capacity,
and can but see the tempting pOrtcrcSs Of
fortune swinging wide her gates, and the
Goddess of Fame pointing her prophetic
finger up-up to the laurcl-wreathCd tenn
pie Of Honor, that will soon be their own.
The Italian String Band, fromR aIcigll WAS
in attendance, all of whom are more than
worthy Of the praise they received as Inu-
sicians. The happy song Of their voices
and harps united in one deep, deep clio
rus Of joy to make glad the heart with the
minStrefS music chant. Our Professors
went beyond themselves on this occasion.
They appeared unusually gay, with easy
care-free faces. laughing eyes and gem
eral air of healthfulness and contentment.
They attempted 70 hide Under the face OF
their popularity that ugly, commanding
look which is becoming III the recitation
room.
The number of new students for the
Spring Term has exceeded all eXpecta-
lions, and within ii short time Wake Forest
will resume her position ut the head OF the
Literary Colleges at the South.
Respectfully,
