PROSPECTS AHEAD.

Some time ago we referred to move
ment then said to be on foot in England,
looking to an association of capitalists for
the promotion of direct trade with the
Southern and Western states, and more
particularly the introduction of capital, at
low rates of interest, for The development
of the vast agricultural and mineral re-
sources of our own and other states in
the South and the great Mississippi VAL
ley. The organization of the society is
now completed, and il is announced that
early the next season a deputation of
heavy capitalists will visit the sections
named, with view to personally inspecting
the great fields of mineral and agricultural
wealth which offer such grand inducements
to capital and labor. The delegation will
be composed of some of the leading bust
ness men of Great Britain, France and Ger
many. The beneficial results of such a
visit, carried out on comprehensive plan,
can hardly fail to be 1.-The most important
character.
Several causes are said to have stimu-
lated to this movement in the three leading
governments named. Every year demon
strates more conclusively the fact of their
growing dependence on this country for
breadstulfs, and ultimately no doubt for
much Of its mineral wealth. Professor
Anstead, Of London, who, we believe, is
President of the Geological Society of Eng
land, is now in this state, in the interest
of heavy English capitalists, looking to
the development of our coal and iron re-
sources. lie lately appeared before the
Senate Committee on Transportation, at
Charleston, West Virginia, and there
testified to the Importance Of the James
River aud Kanawna Canal, to the great
and growing interests, agricultural and
mineral, Of the West. He is reported as
saying that one of the most powerful
claims of this route for development lies
in the fact, that were cheap transportation
opened up from our coal fields OF
the kanawha river to Norfolk har-
bor--one Of the finest in the world
it would ere long become the greatest coal
station on the globe. 1t would forbid COM
petition from any other mart in the world
for supplying the Eastern cities, South
America, West Indies, and many of the
English colonies.
He is further reported as saying: "The
drain now made upon England would be
released, and fleets from three quarters OF
the globe would come and go out thence,
carrying the best qualities of coal to the
different naval stations. Cheapness,
quality and proximity would all
combine to make trade in coal
follow this, its legitimate and natural
channel. This route, far from being one
of sectional interest and benefit, would
become not only national undertaking,
but one from which benefits would pour
out over more than half the known world.
AS has been well said, 1T is a mighty
enterprise, beneftting mighty people such
as we are,' and in its perfection and re-
suits will be the grandest national work
ever undertaken by people,"

THE financial skies continue to brighten.
The New York banks gain largely every
day in legal tenders, the aggregate amount
at present on deposit being nearly or
quite thirty millions of dollars. The late
hoarders are, apparently, beginning to
realize the actual situation, and are putting
their greenbacks "where they will do the
most good" to themselves and to the COM
munity. Shrewd and experienced Gnan.
cers anticipate that by the first Of jam

election will not take place until next year,

Colonel Forney is mentioned in this con-

If we are to accept the assurances of the
Democratic press of the country, the col
ored population of the Southern states are
altogether idle, shiftless, aud unwilling to
work. But the facts given US in the crop
returns of the South would show that thew
were really more industrious than ever.
Just before the war the cotton crop had
reached its height at about 1000 900 of
bales, though that was reached only three
81 times, in what was called the most pros
porous periods of the South. After the
war the crop was for time comparatively
small; but this year the crop is A 900 900
bales! Six years ago it was 1000. 900 of
bales ! Moreover, Louisiana has fallen off
very much in her sugar crop; but now, the
accounts from there say that this crop is
large, and the planters prosperous. Thus
the colored race has indicated itself in the
only way possible to those whom the pre-
JUDGES of unthinking people and the malice
of politicians continually malipn.

York for 1874, is s3s,5lO,299, an increase
over the present year Of 1881, 532. This
enormous amount is but poor compli.

down at $3.50, 100000. 1t was thought

THE discussion of the taxation of church
property, which can hardly, however, as
yet be said to have become an issue before
the people, has led to the following esti-
mate of the value of such property among
the leading denominations of New York
city. The schedule of valuation falls but
little short of fifty millions of dollars, a
one per cent. tax upon which would yield
an annual increase to the public revenue of
$500. 900.

IT is said that Senator Carpenter, Of
Wisconsin, has resolved to advocate the
repeal Of the salary-grab law, so called.
Not but that the senator thinks the law
just and advisable, but inasmuch as the
people are unwilling to raise Congressional
wages, he is content to accept the old rates.
We think the former schedule of compen-
sation may be readopted without the least
apprehension of Congressional strike.
