ship.
The determination Of President Grant to
leave the name of Attorney General Williams
for the Chief Justiceship before the Senate
until the nominee shall be rejected or con-
frmed is repeated from Washington. It is
natural enough that the President should take
this position. He probably regards Mr. VIII
liams as . lawyer Of respectable ability; he
certainly knows him to be o serviceabie pohh-
cal friend. Looking upon the Supreme Court
Of the United States only as one of the most
valuable sources of reward at his command,
the President does not understand why he
should be prescribed from bestowing its rich
est position upon one of his most faithful
servitors. But Senators Of the United States
at present owe allegiance to the people, not to
the President. 1t is their duty to reject all
improper nominees for public offices. Espe-
cially is it their duty to prevent the degrada-
ton Of the Supreme Court. While they may
excuse the obs6nacy with which the soldier
President adheres to his unfortunate selection,
they could not justify their own confirmation
of Chief Justice whose elevation to the i'm
portant Office would be disgrace and peril
to the nation.

WHERE Is THE DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENCE
on the virginius affair, and why is it not given
to the public? The pretence for its suppress

desire to compare the cable messages on sub

before laying them before the country. That
excuse no longer holds good. The "settle-
ment" as Mr.. Fish's miserable patchwork is
called, has been completed. Time enough

government Now let the people see the cor.

An Unveiled Mystery OF Marine Dis
asters.

A most startling inquiry has recently been
raised in England regarding new theory of
the cause of deviation in the mariners CON-
pass. Not long since writer in the
Nautical Magazine, very high authority on
marine matters, advanced some remarkable
facts, going to show that in iron steamships
one hitherto unsupported source of magnetic
deviation arises from the effects of unequal
and varying distribution of heat over the
metallic hull. He illustrated his meaning by
citing the case of an iron steamship going up
the Red Sea, which had the rays Of blazing
sun impinging on one side of her hull in the
morning and on the other side in the evening,
the effect being a very marked difference in
the morning and evening deviation. Again
is cited the case of an iron steamship making
q passage from Liverpool to New York. and,
when in the alternate bands Of tepid Gulf
Stream and frigid Polar water, between
Georges and Nantucket, with about thirty
fathoms of shoal water, the master found
compass alteration of ten degrees. A
similar deviation has been observed on board
shining powerfully on one side of the ship
and the other has been shaded. An expert
ment in thermal electricity shows that if
different parts of a metallic bar be un-
equally heated, or if one part be cooled
by application of ice and the other
heated by spirit lamp, the electric current is
set up; and the quantity of electricity excited
is proportionate, not to the absolute heat COM
municated, but to the difference of tempera-
ture in different parts of the body. But, as
yet, no experiments have been conducted to
test the correctness of this novel view, and to
determine how far, if at ALL under the condi-
tions named, the magnetic guide of the sea-
man may lead him ruinously astray
Not strange to say, the writer of the article,
who modestly suggested merely putting his
views and deductions to crucial test, has
been sharply overhauled for his presumption
in proposing such magnetic inquiry The
venerable head Of the Admiralty Compass De-
partment severely crihcises him on the ground
that his own observations have brought no
such result to light and disInisses the theory
as not holding water. But, despite the weight
of such high authority, the facts stated and
their consonance with known law Of thermo-
electricity, as well as the difficulty Of explain
ing many compass deviations in iron ships
upon any principle heretofore propounded by
scientists, warrant and demand some satisfac-
tory, if not exhaustive, experiments TO decide
the question at issue.

SOUTHERN Trade REvIvING. Charles
ton Neaos remarks that its issue of the 10Th
inst. contained the largest list of vessels in
port that has been seen at any one time since
1865, and in amount Of tonnage probably the
heaviest that has ever occupied the harbor.
These vessels have been attracted thither from
all points by the liberal offerings of cotton,
rice, naval stores, phosphates, DC. In cotton
receipts alone Charleston shows gain of
twenty thousand bales over those of last year.
These are auspicious indications of the revival
of trade and commerce in the Southern marts
and, with the completion of the works of in
ternal improvement already in progress, the
future prosperity Of the South may be safely
assured.

THE SoUTH, TILE WEST AND THE REpUBLI-
CAN PARTY We are informed from Washing
ton that the republicans of the South are
indignant at the milk and water course
of the administration in the Virginius affair;
that they are moving for q new organiza-
ton looking ont for the dominant party Of
the future, and that they will probably
unite with the grangers on new depar-
ture that wide-awake and progressive re-
publicans are freely discussing the short
cornings and the blunderseof the admnistra-
ton party and its bungling in the State elec-
tons Of last October and November and that
the plain men of the party from the rural dis
tricts are disgusted with the silly working Of
civil service reform. In q word, the cohesive
power of the republican party as the party Of
the administration, is broken, the work of
disintegration in the party has commenced,
and from all the signs Of the times the party
of the future that will next come to the front
will begin to crop out boldly in the West and
South in the elections Of 1874 for the next
Congress.

PhEssunE. All the surface indications are
that there is no pressure. There never were
so many splendid shops in this city, and
they never did in any season SO swarm with
busy buyers; never were the shops better sup
piled with temptingly displayed commodities,
and never apparently was money more readily
forthcoming. Recovery from the consequences
of financial trouble seems to be general, and
while the vail of the wounded by the great
catastrophe fingers in the air the public at
large has crept out of the extensive ruin and
is so busy with new endeayors that IL has for
| gotten all about the late collapse.

Affairs IN spain-Thc Cariists Still I'm

Spanish affairs do not indicate many en-
couraging signs OF Improvement Cartagena
still holds out; and, although we are now told
that General Dominguez is making active pre-
parations for an assault it is not impossible
that the rebel city may defy the national gov
ernment for months to come. In almost any
other country the town would have been taken
by storm long ago. But there seems to be no
soul in the Spanish armies. The soldiers
will not fight This is just as apparent in
the Army Of the North as in the Army of the
Southeast According to one of our latest
dispatches the republican forces under the
command Of General Moriones are surrounded
By thirty thousand Carlists, and oil way Of
escape except by sea is cut off, Steamers, it
is said, have been sent to San Sebastian to
take on board the retreating troops. 1t is
quite possible that this news is a little too
highly colored; but that there is some good
foundation for the report we have no justi-
fable reason to doubt. For some time past
we have heard but little Of the Carlists. The
silence has been almost ominous. If there be
any truth in the above report, it is quite clear
that the Carlists during these weeks of quiet
have not been idle. The presumption is that
while we were led to believe that they were
broken up and dispersed they were concen-
trating their strength. With thirty thousand
soldiers at his back Don Carlos ought not to
have much difficulty in forcing his way to the
Spanish capital

in the spring, will bring the revenue up to the
needs of the government. In connection with
this subject we may notice that the Commits
account of the returns from the various collec-
ton districts and that the income from GUS
toms duties is improving. Another favorable
indication that we shall get out Of the present
difficulty without more taxation is, that tho
several executive departments are about to
estimates in detail. 1t will be necessary,
however, to keep the pressure upon
them, for no executive officer likes to
cut down expenses in his department. They
all like to handle as much money
as possible, believing that necessary
to make their branch of the public service
specially efficient We have, heretofore,
pointed out where the expenditures could be
reduced, and need not repeat what was said.
There was report that the Secretary of War
had said he could not reduce the estimates of
his department. but now we are informed
from Washington that he can and is willing to
cut them down. He proposes even to revise
the estimates for the military service proper,
though he thought he had calculated them
closely, and he thinks the sums put down for
Notifications, armaments and rivers and
harbors can be reduced considerably. And
why not !? Surely thirty-four millions-half
as much as the whole government cost at
the commencement of the late warts larger
sum than necessary The army is not large
and we do not need large one in time of
peace. Indeed. from the peculiar geographical
position of the country and the nature of
our institutions, we shall never want more
than an efficient nucleus in the regular
army for war purposes. 1t is different
with the navy. AS great maritime and
commercial nation we require q respect
able navy. With regard to the War Depart
ment, public works, the Indians, public
printing, the Internal Revenue Service and
other branches of the service particularly in
the large and ambiguous estimate of ''mis-
cellaneous" great reduction can be made
Thirty to forty millions can very we'll be
saved, and there is no necessity for additional
taxation.

The Emigrant Exodus from England.
In q recent issue the London Times men
tions the prospective large exodus of emigrants
from England and comments upon it in the
most dissuasive and deprecating terms. No
wonder the English journalist is excited by
the announcement that single emigration
agent will next spring send out 10000 labor
irg families to a selected field in which to seek
their fortunes. Since the Times made this
announcement, in ignorance of the destination
of these families, it has been reported that q
large number of emigrants, under the auspices
of some English management, will be sent to
Virginia. However this may be, it is evident
that the tide of population setting westward to
our shores is on the rise, and not on the ebb.
The English emigrant arrivals at New York
for the quarter ending September 80 alone
amounted to 1899, exclusive of the Scotch
and Irish, who swelled the number immensely.
The remarkable fact to be observed is that
the 10000 to leave England in the spring
of 1874 (under the auspices of two English
agents, Messrs. Arch and Clayden,) are in fami-
hes. The early colonists of America and Aus
tralia were mostly single adventurers, impelled
by necessity to cross the ocean; but the
exodus of so many English families argues a
social movement OF an organized and extern
sive kind impelled not so much by necessity
as by the attractive and ascertained benefits to
be derived from the transfer of home.
1t the destination of these families be the
''Old Dominion the promise for the invest
ment of their labor and capital will be most
encouraging both to that State and to the
emigrant families. The people of the South
have thoroughly recovered from the demorali-
zation of the war, and its peaceful but labor
prostrated society earnestly desires emigration
of the kind mentioned
The extreme South may not be a congenial
climate for the Englishman; but the climate
of the border States is unsurpassed. There
never was time when the emigrants' capital
could be more judiciously and proftably in
vested in lands than it can now be in Virginia;
and, no doubt, the tide Of new settlers will
soon be largely diverted from the remote
regions of the West in o southern direction.
The Times strongly urges upon the outgoing
families to wait year and see how tho expert
ment works with those who have gone, citing
the sufferings of the first settlers Of America
But such dissuasive will not be likely to
have much effect for the United States is not
now what it was century ago. and the Euro
pean coming hither is not making "a leap in
the dark"
