The Republic, monthly Magazine
for October; is before US. This mum
Der has the usual variety of well
written, and for the most part care
fully matured political articles.

lection of American Citizens" Gag

The Crops in Europe" The South.
ern Rebellion.-it its extent and con-
sequences" Home Manufactures"
and kindred subjects making an in:
teresting number. F..
The leading article on '+The South
ern Situation" is especially deserv-
ing Of perusa1.: Evidently it has
been written by one who has both:
intelligent observation and expert
ence of what he writes. Instanc-
ing this, take this paragraph: "And
the first step to a just realization as
regards the Southern situation, is
to understand how completely sla-
very has debauched the great mass
of Southern whites, and how utter
ly they fail to understand even re-
notely the ideals of personal md
equal rights~-to live, to differ, to
work, to travel-for the realization
of which Republican governments
have been founded and defended"
"The Dominant Race is an ex-
ceedingly pertinent article, and at
the expense of our Mr.: Mari and
his White League colleagues, proves
the fallacy Of their assertions and
the absurdity Of their reasoning,
from their own utterances.
"The Agricultural products OF
Louisiana" in its recapitulation
says:
"The writer's SUMS up the result
of-his observations and inquiries as
follows:
"Thus, from this city to the forts,
two narrow strips of land, each
about one-haH mile: wide, will proba-
bly, make biayjlaas4abou 100000
pounds of sugar, 100 900 barrels. Of
rice, 600 .gaHonserof molasses,
Of bushels Of potatoes,
nearly 100000 worth of oranges,
boat loads of melons and garden
stuffs. and many other products
great in value. Verify, the lower
coast is the garden spot Of America."
This, as stated, may be taken, as q
fair indication of the crop prospects
throughout tie, slttataes, ana it is GER
tainly CRAFTY ing. What it would
be # !: the, Democratic opposition to
negro citizens should cease, and all
classes attended diligently to the
improvement OF their plantations
and other industrial interests;
wo leave to those more Immediately
Interested to decide. This we may
say with + safety, that Louisiana
would soon become one OF tue most
prosperous States in the Union
But there is progress and develop
ment oven now, as is indicated in
9he fact that "innumerable small
~fst1Rs hasebeen added ~ The area
already in cultivation" More
farms indicate more landowners,
and paen who have . stake in the
country have also an eye to the
peace and progress Of the State"

feature of the lectare. And what he
said about the Yosemite valley the Big

about. His judgement Of the indians
and their treatment was the mos prac-

said Of Captain Jack and his tribe, in
GLIDING his experience at their execu-

turer did not confnc himself entirely to
California but gave OF his experience
travel and impressions thereon in
Oregon, Nevada, Wyoming and Wash
territories and his comparison
of the climate, with an allusion to the
rainy and dry seasons including hisex-
perience 1.-TWO earthquakes proved
valuable information to his audience.
The lecturer throughout was heartily
applauded, and listened to with that
careful attention which demonstrated
that he had his audience chained by
the manner in which he described the
beautiful scenery, incidents of
his trip, and personal ex-

Ifthe Republicans have clear ma,
jority in the Legislature they will, Of
course, elect 4 Republican Senator,
caucus or no caucus and if, on the
other hand, they are in the minority
q caucus will not aid them.
In Massachusetts the Senator il IN:
vsriably chosen in open session, with
out the intervention ola caucus. Be-
sides, in some of the Legislative Dis
tricts tho Senatorial question was the
principal issue 1t the late election,
and the members elect are under in
structions from the people to vote for
this or that candidate for the Senate.
1t may well be doubted whether they
would be justified in allowing ! party
caucus, subject as it surely will be to
corrupt influences, to override the
positive mandate Of their constitu-
ents.
We have a slight suspicion, how.
ever, that the object of the solicitude
which the St. Paul Press manifests
is not the welfare Of the Republican
party so much as the success of some
particular candidate. And We have
also q notion that Senator Ramsey
and his drill sergeants have come to
the conclusion that unless the choice
of his successor can be settled by the
Republican caucus the probability Of
his reelection will be exceedingly
slight. ~. -. : j .. -, !:

falling at noon to-day, and turned to snow
about four o'clock, which at nine O'Clock
was four inches deep and more falling.
And that four inches of snow wa

in which Illinois shakes herself out o.

Kentucky had An all-day's heavy
snow storm; and through Missouri
and Kansas snow fell, in some local..
ties to the depth Of eighteen inches
St. Louis had four inches, and trains
were impeded in all directions.
