IN speaking of the South the New York
Tribune of Tuesday remarks that "the gav-
Ell that fell yesterday at noon in Washington
called again into being what was three quar-
tiers Of century the dominating influence
in the Union," and then goes on to give the
following statistics of former Southern influ-
ence:
Up to 1860 the South proudly wore two-thrds
at least of the highest honors of the Republic;
Of Southern Presidents there were 90 years.
of Northern, "a; of Southern Judges of the
Supreme Court there were 18; of Northern,
IL; of Southern Presidents pro tenn, of the
Senate there were "a; of Northern, IL; of
Southern Speakers of the House. 80; of North
ern, -; OF Southern Attorney Generals there
were IA; of Northern; 5. The South furnished
SO foreign ministers, the North 81. The same
proportion held In the higher positions in the
army and navy; the North furnished most of the
men who did the fighting and dying, while the
South was given great majority of the more i'm
portant officers. The South had two.thirds of the
clerks employed under the Government, though
having only One-third of the white population
Of the Union. A single citation of the ex-
penditures of the Government during the time
the North was province of the South will
show which bore the burdens and which the
honors. During the last year of the old Union,
1860, the expenses of mail transportation in the
free states were $13OOO,OOO; the receipts, 49,
900, 900; in the slave states the expenses were
$l4,0OOOO0, the receipts $S,000,000. So that
the deficit in the one devoured the suplus in
the other. This curious disproportion seemed
to hold throughout, the South running the gov
ernment and the North paying the cost. Two
thirds of the Supreme Court judges came from
the South. though four-ffths of the business of
the courts arose IN the North. Three-fourths
of the business of our diplomatic represen-
tatives came from the North, yet two-thrds
of the foreign ministers, and nearly all
the most important of them were from
the South. Three-fourths of the revenues
of the Government were collected from the
North. But these mere statistics of govern
nent do not convey an adequate idea of the
overwhelming political influence of the South.
1t was this influence that compelled twenty
years extension of the slave trade; that ex-
acted a three-ffths representation for slaves,
but refused to allow them to vote; that de-
m anded the enactment os the Fugitive Slave
law, and in its greed for greater dominion ap-
proprated Louisiana, Florida, and Texas to
the extension and Strengthening of the slave
power. BY one of the strange turns of for
tune, Alexander HI. Stephens, the very man
who exhibited these facts to his State as rea-
sons why it was better off in the Union than
outside, witnesses, as member of the present
Congress, the partial reparation of the ruin
which he tried in vain to prevent.

ELSEWHERE will be found note from a
gentleman in York county presenting the
name of Col. Edwin Ilsley for the office of
Adjutant General. We are aware that there
are several very worthy gentlemen spoken Of
in connection with the Office and several
who are more widely known in the state
but we do no one of them any injustice by
stating that no one is better qualified than
Col. Ilsley.

JUDGING from the droll leader on the
Presidents message in yesterdays Argus
that document did not receive careful peru
sal in the Argus Office. The Argus finds in
the message no recommendation of retrench-
ment in expenditures, and says that if there
be any such recommendation cit has entirely
escaped our notice." So it has. BY con.
suiting the PRESS report of the message the
argus man will find under the head ''Re-
sumption Measures Suggested" the follow
ing: II recommend that reduction of ex-
penditures be made wherever it can be done
without imparing government obligations OF
crippling the due execution thereof" Re-
sumption is a distasteful topic to the Argus
man, and so he probably didn't read that
passage

The discussion of the school question in
the message causes much comment at Wash
ington, and the prediction is freely made that
it will be one of the most exciting questions
OF the session. 1t is understood that the is
sue will be forced upon the Democrats by the
introduction of MI. B!aine's proposed amend
ment to the constitution. The Democrats
will plant themselves upon their state rights
doctrine in opposition to it.

HOLMAN of Indiana is quoted as saying,
in regard to the action of Wood and Lamar
on the Louisiana question, that if the radical
Democrats attempted to follow up that
policy the majority in the House would soon
be disorganized. Quarrelling among the VIC
tors appears to have begun early.

THE Democratic House has been guilty of
an act of discourtesy to the President, which
is said to be without precedent in the annals
of Congress. His messenger, bearing the
message, was kept waiting at the door until
after the seats were drawn.

Mrs. Sartoris, formerly Hiss Nellie Grant. The

and ut tha gateway Wss nursema1d With BABY
carriage, III which lay the Presidents grandson.
The chubby little fellow waa trying to swallow
! one OF his lists. as is the habit Of reckless in
fants, and was closely scrutinzing lta feet,
which were sticking out in sight. 1t seemed to
have known nothing about feet before rlAs, and
to bs amazed by the knowledge Of their exist
euce. Women hold that there really is differ
ence in the faces Of babies under mouth old
but 1 believe that the wisest pa1enLe would
only know their own, should al accident
al mixture occur. by the co}ors Of RIB
bona, eyes. and stockings. This one Was fat
in the middle OF his face Ills eyes were eraYisn
blue, and rogui.hiy wide open. Hair Vas scalce
on his head what there was Of it being yellow
ah fuz. Seriously consde4ed. those who a1e
| interested in the subject may think ct him as
healthy, large, handsome baby, with indications
that be is going to look like his mother, except
that his hair and eyes will be like his fathers.
On this occasion he was dainiily dressed IN
white, the lace trimming being WORTH by aladys
estimate based on description, not less than
$500 or $500. He wss in rollicking good
humor, kicking up his new-found feet aud pok-
ing his fist half out Of sigLt in lis mouth. Tne
sun was just high enough to slant its rays into
the carriage, making SHINY spots on hls clothea
and pare arms, and his wonderment ,was great 1T
this experience. Mrs. sartor1s sat Ut " a low

her baby as it was trundled to and fro On the
