Tho people Of Georgia, Alabama, Florida, mud
other Southern States are Bcriousy alarmed at tho
tide of emigration which has set in from those
States to Texas. In Texas tho computation is
tint the arrivals Of sotilors from other States
equal to G,000 per day; this is during tue pros
ent aonson, but in tho spring 4 groator number
is expected. The reaHons for tlis exodus arc
partly political and partly social. Tho owners Of
land in Georgia, Alabama, Florida, aud otlor
Btatea aro poor; tloir ]and has, in many cases,
boen impoverished, aud thoy hare not the meanB
Of improving it. Their States arc overwhelmed
with debt; tho domination Of tic negro popua-
tion will DO felt for mnny years to come,
and taxes arc enormous. Toxins offers
them largo homoatoads Of virgin land,
capable Of producing largo crops. Thore has
been no migration Of negroes to ToxnH; TINT
Stato offers grontor facilities for commerce, and
tho whites arc overwhelming in numbers. Texas
oifora homes for the present generation, md
land and occupation for tho children who havo
no promising future in the older statea. So.
the whites who want peace, who cannot improve
their old farmB and who haye families to sup
port, arc moving of to Texas, whore there is
lnnd to bo Ind in unlimited quantities for
nothing, and whore taxation is nominal, aud tho
Government wllito. Tho papors Of Georgia and
Alabama arc endoayoring to check this migra-
tion, but it continues, and will probably be in
creasoa In tho spring.

ORdTOR PUFF.

We fear that some of the gifted gentlemen
who say things round, profound, and beauti-
ful about magnates and dignitaries and great
and glorious parties, and who are sincere and
earnest about it, and keep themselves before
the public and make comfortable living by
Il. are not fully aware Of the situation.
Events have been going forward quite rapidly
for the past twelve months. A great many
sudden and unexpected things have happened.
Some things that seemed year ago to be large
and full and of graceful proportions have be-
come shrunken and shriveled and ungainly in
form and outline. Out Of several things the
wind has gone. They have ceased to be at
tractiye or admirable. The humbugs and
shams which were the delight of mounting
orators and lickspittle organs last year have
been pricked of their initiation. and nause-
ated people. holding its nose, is endeavoring
to forget that it ever had such idols or wOr-
shipped such shams.
But Orator Puff seems blissfully ignorant of
any discoveries or changes. He sits serene in
cloud-land. and takes no note of tumbling
gods or tickle people. Called down to make
{" a speech at public dinner, he thrums the
same old tune and filings abroad the same old
rotund periods. II would be discOurteous TO
laugh, but how ridiculous it all ia to be sure
Does he not know that that's all over; that
the Great Silent Man has spoken, and spoken
too upon the subject of Finance, and that
the spell is broken; that the stage machinery
of 1872 has all fallen down; that the carpcn-
tiers have struck and the Christian statesmen
gone bowling off with their false calves leak

and honor IL Is not a mere municipal riot
between Spain and her colonies. Our own
peace is endangered by it. At every discharge
of the muskets at Santiago, American blood
painted the pavement, and the American flag
was blackened with pOwder-smoke.
We arc therefore forced to oct, but the stua-
ton must not be made worse by rash or in
considerable action. The almost unanimous
cry Yesterday was for the immediate granting
of belligerent rights to the Cubans. Nothing
could be more futile or illogical The seizure
of the Virginius was unlawful precisely be-
cause we do not recognize state OF war
between Spain and Cuba. Those ill-advlsed
friends of Cuba who ask for recognition do
not ace that the act would vastly enlarge the
privileges Of Spain upon the high seas, and
would not in the least assist the Cuban
army struggling in the mountains. The
massacre ut Santiago affords no ad-
ditional reason for recognition Of the
instruction, and such recognition would do
nothing toward ending the civil war. We
hope no such brutum Jalmen will be launched
where practical measures are required. What
they should be is indicated by the circum-
stances themselves. Our Government, we
hope. has already demanded full and imme-
date reparation and the punishment of the
leaders under whose orders the outrage has
been accomplished. If, rs we fear, the Spanish
Government cannot enforce this, we must in
future protect our own flag and our own citi-
zens in the Cuban waters If there had been
one or two iron-clads in the harbOr of San
tiago to sustain the demand of the Consular
ILL ,I,,
ers of the VirElnius would have been shot in
such hot haste.
If it be objected that such n course at this
time would endanger the Republic in Spain,
the answer is that sooner or later there must
come a death struggle between the PeniDsuars
of Cuba and the Government in Madrid. AS
we said last week, nothing can break the fatal
deadlock between the two factions in Cuba
except some shock from the outside. If Spain
cannot exert authority enough to keep down
lawlessness in her colonies by which we suffer,
we must look elsewhere for redress. The
deadliest and most dangerous enemies TO the
cause of freedom and progress In Spain are
those bloodthirsty slavers of Havana, who defy
the authority of the Republic and bring it
into disgrace before the world. We are doing
no favor To Spain in submitting to their law
less brutality. No one went before us in
welcome to the enfranchised democracy of
Spain, in appreciation of the eminent and
devoted patriots who founded the Republic
there. But we recognize the false position i'll
which they are placed by the lamentable state
of affairs in Cuba, and we conceive that we
are fighting their battle when we force them
to join issue finally and decisivcly with the
Casino Espanol.
