THE souTHs OPPORTUNITY

There never was so propitious a

people to move in the matter of inn
migration. There is commotion
amongst. the people of the older coun-

There is a movement of the nations
that is one of the most striking fea-
lures of the times. Whether we look
to Europe or to Asia, we see the
upturning of tho old systems and the
looking for the newer and more ag-
gressive civilization. On the one
hand we find an agent of the Brazil
liam government negotiating for the
colonization of tho thousand English
men annually in Southern BAIL on
the other we hear Japanese digni-
tary makinga speech from the bal
colony of hotel in San Francisco,
advocating closer and more intimate
commercial relations with a country
that has been shut out from the
world for thousand years. Verify,
many are already running to and
fro, and knowledge is being in
creased. England has just annexed

THE DISPERSION OF THE JEWS


THE DISPERSION OF THE JEWS.
The Algameinc Ztctang gives some
interesting particulars as to the dis
persion of the Jews over the world.
In Palestine they have long since
been reduced to a very small pro
portion Of their former numbers
They are now most numerous in the
northern part Of Africa, between Mo
rocco and Egypt, (wherc, especially
in the Barbary States, they form the
chief element Of the populatou,) and
10 that strip of Europe which ex-
tends from the lower Danube to the
Baltic. In the latter region there
are about 100000 Jews, most of
whom arc Of the middle class among
the ScIavonic nationalities, while in
the whole Of western Europe there
are not 100000 of them. In consc-
quenco of European migrations, de-
scendants Of these Jews have settled
in America and Australia, where
they arc already multiplying in the
largo commercial towns in the same
manner as in Europe, and much more
rapidly than the Christian popula-
ton. Tho Jewish settlers in north
ern Africa are also increasing SO
much, that they constantly spread
farther to the South. Timbucto has,
since 1858, been inhabited by Jew
ish colony of traders. The other
Jews in Africa are the Falaschas, or
Abyssinian black Jews, and few
European Jews at the Cape of Good
Hope. There are numerous Jewish
colonies in Yemen and Nedschran,
in western Arabia.
1t has long been known that there
are Jews in Persia and the countries
on the Euphrates; in the Turkoman
countries they inhabit the four for
tresscs of Scherisebs, Kitab, Scham-
atan and Urta Kurgan, and thirty
small villages, residing in separate
quarter, but treated on an equal foot
ing with the other inhabitants, though
they have to pay higher taxes. There
are also Jews in China, and in Cochin
China there are both white and black
Jews. The white Jews have ira
ditionr according to which, in the
year 70, A. d., their ancestors were
10000 Jews who settled at Cransa-
more, on the coast Of Malabar, after
the destruction of the Temple of Jer-
usalem. The Jews remained at Gran
ganoro until 1865, when they were
driven into the interior by the Por-
tuguese. The black settlers are sup
posed to be native proselytes, and
havo special synagogue of their
own.

PASSAGE OF THE SOUTHERN RAIL
ROAD BILL.-The passage of the
=" Southern Railroad Bill" by the
Kentucky Senate, on Saturday, was
a cause of rejoicing, not only in Gin
cinnati, where capitalists are partic-
ularly interested, but in all parts of
central and eastern Kentucky and
East Tennessee. The efforts to over
come the opposition to this road in
western Kentucky, including that of
the Louisville interest, have been
long and bitter. AS long as wealthy
men were anxious to invest money
in the enterprise, the repeated re-
fusal of the Legislature TO grant a
charter was evidently unjust, and
came from a jealousy unworthy OF
the citizens of Louisville and others
whom they controlled. The road is
needed for the local improvement OF
eastern Kentucky, as well as for the
through traffic from southern Ohio
TO Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and
South Carolina, by way OF Chatta-
nooga.

a CHANCE FOR TIE DEMOCRACY

1t was wise counsel which sug-
gested the postponement to a very
late day OF the convention of the
National democratic party. It will
be remembered that in 1850 the
democracy ran two candidates for
the Presidency and thus secured
the election of Lincoln. There is
every probability that the Rcpubli-
cans will have two candidates for
1872. Possibly it may be deemed
advisable that the democratic party
cast its vote for enc Of these +; per-
haps it may see the opportunity Of
fered to declare its own platform
and to nominate and elect its own
candidate. Let us bide our own
time.
