THE GERMAN PRESS.

A solid German vote throughout the
Union viii decide thu. election in favor Of
Greeley. Such will no doubt be the ac-
ton Of this class Of our foreign popula-
ton, as we see it stated that thirty Ger
man Democratic papers are advocating
the election Of Greeley and Brown.
Twenty-six Republican German papers
have pronounced for them. There are
not fifteen German papers, Democratic
or Republican, who are against them.
Most Of the latter will come over after
the Baltimore Convention. Verify the
signs Of the times are most cheering.
The Irish and the Germans, and
the great mass Of the people, are
marching to the rescue of the
country; have resolved to sweep out of
power an administration which stands
condemned in the conscience of even
its candid friends, as incompetent to the
task with which it was intrusted, and
faithless to all the engagements which
were assumed as the condition of great
confidence. The President, who came
in with the promise Of peace upon his
lips, has labored only to provoke dis
cord, and at the end Of three years the
South and the North are more alienated
than ever by the prescription of party;
plumber and profiigacy are sustained by
Federal bayonets; ten Southern States
have been converted into ~satTapies and
spoliated by thieving rulers; while the
country is fast drifting into a foreign
war by the incapacity and obstinacy of
those to whose hands its honor and in
-erests have been unwisely committed.

CONSISTENCY

There are Democrats who refuse To
aio y supporting Greeley, and thereby
help 20 cleanse the Augean stable and
to substitute civil To- military rule, be-
cause, forsooth, they wish to preserve
their consistency There is no time for
talking about consistency when the
liberties Of the people are imperiled. 1t
is inconsistent for a rebel who went into
the rebellion to secure his rights in the
Territories, to acquiesce in the three
constitutional amendments, and in view
Of the disasters and changes of the last
twelve years, men should not be pune
tiliOus about preserving their eonsisten-
cy. We should not overlook consistency
Of BtOtiUe in cur vain ~endeavors to pre-
serve a consistency in action. Since the
close Of the war the main efforts Of the
Democratic party have been 10 improve
the condition Of the South, by restoring
to that unfortunate section the invalu-
able right Of self-government. In this
effort the Democratic party has had the
sympathy and assistance Of very MANY
conservative citizens outside Of its pale,
and this sympathy, aided by the pro
LESSONS Of Democrats everywhere, has
at last resulted IN the Cincinnati move
ment. And hence the question now
comes home to every DemOcrat-what
is nv consistent duty in reference to
-,o,-o,aanT9 LEAVING ont fha issues
which the war settled, does not the pres

lev from which that condition resulted,
constitute the objective point on which
the Democracy of to-day should direct
its entire force? On the answer to this
latter question the preservation Of de-
struction Of your consistency de

PROGRESS.
The Worlds Railways in 1S71-VaIua
bic Statistics

The government statistical bureau
has published in a circular complete re-
turns of railway progress in this coun-
try during last year, with other inter-
esting details and comparisons.
The aggregate mileage December 81,
1871, is stated as sixty thousand three
hundred and eighty-three miles; being
four times that of Great Britain, and
eight and a half times that of Prussia.
Our railway growth was six thousand
and eighty-four miIes-not one thou-
sand less than the entire mileage of
Prussia at the close of 1S70-a current
increase Of two miles per hour during
every working day of ten hours in the
whole year. OF this increase five hum
bred and fifty miles was in New Eng
land, four thousand five hundred in
the Western States, and the remainder
scattered.
The circular presents the following
comparisons and table. Various aver
ages are made up from the returns of one
hundred prominent railways-embrac-
ing about half the mileage in this
try-and these are compared with state
ments furnished by the foreign bureau,
with these results. The cost of construc-
ton has not been so greatm this country
as in Great Britain, Prussia or Wurtem-
burg, and u operating expenses are
quite near theirs; our receipts are much
less than in Great Britain or Prussia,
and the number of passengers and tons
of freight much less than in any of the
three countries. We retabulate some of
the particulars upon these points, prem
that all values are given in gold,
and that the averages are per mile:

vious record or present fertility of re-
source, you cannot dodge this issue, as
the people Of the South, goaded by
actual necessity, have determined that
the issue shall be tried without further
delay, and woe to the politician or fac
ton of politicians that shall answer this
determination by An appeal to party
consistency, when they know, or ought
to know, that true consistency de-
mands the Immediate rescue Of the
South. Il, through any false motive,
the Democratic party fails to recognize
the importance of this issue, and con
sequently permits itself to be side
tracked [" on some minor issue. It viii
forfeit all claim on the Southern States,
thereby losing its last and only chance
for regaining National supremacy. The
" courage OF opinion is a grand at
tribute in any mans ~ch9racter. But
there are few men who possess this at
tribute in so eminent a degree as to en-
able them to battle long and always
with a hopeless minority, when they
are reminded, almost constantly, that
according to our theory Of government,
the people are always right" Dying
in the flast diteh@ IS grand in magma
ton, and may do to cap the climax Of a
brilliant effort but then, it is not con-
sidered sensible, and for this reason,
doubtless, many who recommend this
peculiar style of martyrdom are very
careful not to try the experiment them
selves. With the vast majority Of men
success is the true eriterian of merit, and
hence it follows, with this same ma
jority, that the absence OF success de-
notes the absence of merit. a patriot
is never inconsistent in accepting the
best attainabIe means to secure honest
and incOrruptible government. We
not care what men have BEEN
they are now is the i'm
portant question. We will CO.
operate with those who are opposed
to the reelection of Nj. Grant,
because we believe him dangerous man
to the liberties Of the country, and in
another term would be likely to subvert
them entirely! Partisan as Mr.. Greeley
has been, eccentric as he is in some par
wrong as we believe him, yet
regard him as a lover Of his country, |,
IS a man who knows and accepts the
principles Of republican government,
would resist a military despotism, and
put a stop to the stealing, the perjury,
md the general corruption Of this vile
administration. If we cannot elect a
man, and are really sincere in our
to restore peace, and to crush out A.,
Iespotism, we would be inconsistent s
With our duty and professions did We re- ,
use to support Horace Greeley. 7

The administration of Grant does not
compare ~favorabIy when c~Ontrasted
with that of the fathers of the Republic.
When Nh. Jefferson was President a
nephew of his was recommended to him
for office. Instead of appointing him,
Mr.. Jefferson wrote him a letter sug-
costing the indelicacy of the applica-
ton and declaring his purpose not to
appoint relatives to Office. In his letter
to his nephew Mr.. Jefferson said: "The
public will never be made to believe
that the appointment Of a relative is
made on the ground of merit alone, I'M
influenced by family views. Nor can
they ever see with appreciation, offices,
the disposal of which they intrust to
their President for public purposes, di-
vided out as family property" Com
pare these honorable and delicate senti-
ments and the upright and manly
course of President Jefferson with the
course of President Grant, who has
divided out public offices among his
relatives as if they were Hfamily
property" and mark the difference be-
tween the two men.

AN Englishman who does not believe
in "bloOd, descent" or any of that sort
of thing, is preparing a book, the first
part of which has been published,
wherein viii be given a brief account OF
the earlier immigrants to this coun-
try-their social position at home, and
whether that home was a castle, a
matched shed, or, as not unfrequently
happened, a penitentiary. This plan

who has set about preparing for publica-
ton these brief genealogical sketches.
The part already published contains
some account Of foreigners-English-
who came to this country between the
years 1900 and 100. The writer of the

Wet and apprentice element which was

dants many now furnish the material
for the most interesting bits of "society

The vast mileage of our roads through
sparsely settled districts naturally re-
duces the average of passengers and
their cars per mile; but when freights
are considered, the activity of our varied
industries offset this discrepancy in a
great measure. The same causes dimin-
ish the per centum of net receipts on our
roads as compared with those of Great
Britain and Prussia. But as we fill up
our population and develop resources,
the future must show, as the past has in
variably shown, a steady and sure in-
crease in this pyr centum, which at the
same time will naturally lead to a re-
duction in the tariffs of rates. Proba-
bly,, however, for some years to come,

increase as rapidly as the business upon
roads aleeady operated. New railway
facilities viii be demanded and granted,
so that taking the whole country tOgeth-
er, the average profit upon capital in
vested may not show immediate in
crease.
Taking into account the same mileage
of old, established railways only, in this
country that are operated in all Europe,
u net profits viii show a greater per
centum upon the capital invested.

Mr.. Samuel Tyler, Of the Maryland
bar, has now in preparation the memoir
Of the late Ch~ief-Justice fancy, which
is to be published from the press of John
Murphy & Co., of Baltimore, a firm
noted for the excellence of their typOg-
Eaphy. From all that we can learn this
viii be a work of unusual interest and
permanent historical and political value.
From the prospectus we learn that the
first chapter of the memoir was written
by the Chief-Justice himself, and COW
ers twenty-three years Of his life. He
describes in a very graphic manner, it is
stated, the condition Of Maryland So
ciety in which he wa born, his days of
school, college and law study, and
draws Iife-Iike portraits Of some of the
then great lawyers of the Maryland bar.
The subsequent chapters of the historya are
written by Mr.. Tyler, @ho was selected
by the Chief-Justiee ten years before
his death as his ~biographer, and in whose
hands his private papers were from time
to time placed by his executors and fam
iIy. Chief-Justice fancy was born in
M, and his life extended to 1854, en-
bracing the whole of the history of the
government, except the first year and
the last eight years, during which long
period he occupied many important
posts of honor and responsibility. Apart
from his public record, which is neces-
sarily almost as much a history of the
Federal Government as of himself, his
we are assured, diseloses i'm
private acts which may well
serve as examples to public men. Two
are appended TO the memoir-one
on the removal of the deposits, the other
on the bred Scott decision, which We're
prepared by the ChiefJ Justice as his JUS
.tiication with pOsterity. A portion of
the profits of the memoir viii be for the
benefit Of the family Of the Chief
