quarters of this city. Serious trouble is

that the troubles, difficulties and perils

solid reality, and opposition represents
an ideal He brilliantly traced the his
tory of Democracy, and declared that
death to the Republic would be the sign
Of death to liberty, and that the genera
ton would be infamous which achieved
liberty and failed to preserve it. l am a
federalist, he said, but matters divide
Spanish nationality, while the Germans
are becoming more united. He re-
viewed the public life Of NJ. Theirs,

In conclusion, Senior CASTELAR, invoked
Divine Providence to save the liberty

Writing in relation to the evacuation
Of France by the German forces, the
London Times correspondent at Belfort
saws: II have watched the exercises and
the marching of the German troops, and
have failed to perceive any of that
stolid heaviness which used formerly to
be imputed to them. | have seen them,
after four hours march under burn.
ing temperature, return with full held
equipment and marching with firm,
equal and elastic step, with heads erect
and instantly obedient to the word Of
command. A person to whom remarked
this reminded me that these men had
been here for two and half years, and
that during that time their mode Of
living had been changed; they had
drunk wine instead OF beer, and had
eaten beef instead of vegetables,
which doubtless had contributed
greatly to the change which | had
observed. | do not know how far this
explanation may be well founded, but in
any case it would prove that the German
soldier, when well fed and well trained,
is capable of enduring fatigues under
which French soldiers would break
down, unless they, too, were subjected
to long and careful training. Another
fact which the inhabitants of Belfort
have been able to ascertain is that when
once an order has been given it is OBJ
served unremittingly and with the ut
most precision ever afterward until
countermanded. Thus the Germans
held Belfort at midnight yesterday. ex-
actly in the same manner as they have
done since first taking possession. For
more than two years these troops have
remained here upon war footing. Their
sentries were posted in greater numbers
than the former French garrison en-
ployed. In the most scorching heat, IN
rain or snow, at every salient point, at
the top Of the castle, at every fort, at
every rampant the sun shone upon the
cleaning helmets Of the German SEN
tries, who, despite the risks Of sun.stroke
or frost-bite, maintained a watchful
guard over the walls which no one thought
OF attacking or Of scaling. During all
this time, too, and it will be remembered
what agitation this circumstance caused
in many French. minds, the Germans
have cOnscientiously repaired the ram
parts which they had TO guard, and also
how conscientiously and mathematl-
cally they have demolished, destroyed,
burnt or carried away everything that
belonged 10 them which they had con
structed or repaired. But they have
not been able TO carry everything away.

The Herald this morning reviews the
question which has laid dormant for
some time, regarding the selection OF q
Chief Justice to succeed Chase, and
gives the views of several eminent law
yers on the subject, whose opinions
are as diversified as they are numerous.
Theodore Gist, the Herald reporter in
terviewed, shows that among the
most prominent candidates for the ap'
pointment are Judge Pierpont, Attorney
General Williams, Caleb Gushing, VIM.
Groesbeck and William Eyarts.
The Herald also editorially refers to
the subject Of the Chief Justiceship, and
trusts that Grant in making this vital
will be led by no other than
the highest motives; that the man
chosen shall be for qualities alone that
belong to the position, and without
tinge of partisan favoritism which could
weaken the popular respect for an othce

WHY SOUTHERN PLANTERS ARE POOR,

1t has been said Of the Southern peo-
pie that they grow raw materials which
are sent North and returned, selling
from ten to one hundred times above the
first cost. They pillow with Northern
plows, hitched to Northern harness, cut
wood with Northern axes, work lumber
with Northern tools, drive Northern nails
with Northern hammers, aud paint houses
with Northern brushes dipped in North
ern paint. In short, they rock their chill
dren in Northern made cradles, clothe
them in Northern cloth and bury them
in Northern made collins, which are
lowered into their last resting places
with Northern made cord. Comment
ing upon these facts, the New York
Tribune adds: This cannot well be
helped, for the same thing may be said
of the North, since goods made in
New England factories are sold to
agents in New York, some of which
goods come back among general stocks.
Points of distribution are indispensable,
but there is no doubt that it is the duty OF
the people of the South to protect them
selves by consuming as much as possible
of their own productions and increase
the demands for farm produce, and vari-
ETY. of the fruits and vegetables, while
employment will be offered for many
young people now growing up in idleness.
