TIE sFAT oF EMPIRE.

Gy this expression is not intended the
seat Of Government Of the United States,
but the centre of population and political
power. The former WAS settled almost a
century ago by the wise suggestion of the
''Fathcr Of his Country whose birthday
We Lave just celebrated. The crazy
mOuDtebank who tried some years since TO
place the Capitol on wheels and trundle it
about from year TO year TO seek the centre of
population, has suLsided under the storm of
riGicule raised by the insane movement,
and Washington is likely 10 remain the seat
Gf legislative and executive power as long
i, the Republic cndurCs.
Not so, however, with the great centre
Of material wealth. population and power
Tbs has moved steadily towards the West
for the last fifty wears. and has become
finally located in the Mississippi valley,
the richest and gTanjCst industrial empire
rn the globe. This vast region, with pro
ductiyc capacity sufficient TO feed 4 starving
word, and mineral treasures hcyonl COM
J'i,tation, will soon hold, not merely the
balance, but the absolute prcpOndcranCe of
political pOwcr,in tic nitCd States. Would
i. not be graceful. as well a> polite and
just. for the law makers of the Eastern and
Middle States TO recheEizc this great fact
hy such acts Of liberal legislation as will
tend TO preserve unity Jy distributing even
L.aded justice TO all
Nature has given 10 that vast country
ncMly twenty thousand miles of navigable
stEGms, but many of these need substan-
tial improvement TO give TO them full
capacity as channels OF domestic commerce
But water courses alone will not suffice,
aad N ny thousand miles of railway already
extend Up and down and acros the great
valley
They have an outlet TO the Pacific, uncer
tain and expensive, and the lower halroCthc
great valley demands with an earnest and
Almost unanimous voice, another, shorter,
safer and cheaper line Of trans continental
railway. The people ask for such Govern
ment rccog milton and encouragement as
will secure the achievement of this great
work They ask for this measure not only
as one of immediate and incalculable benefit
10 that region, but one that will be of i'm,
mcnsc advantage to the whole country.
Can the representatives from east Of the
Alleghanies afford to deny the request and
ignore the claims of twelve millions of peo
pie?

THE aiG and comfort which Governor
Chamberlain has been giving the White
Liners in South Carolina has commenced
already to hear lis fruits. Hear what a
South Carolina newspaper says:
.'2irce these spccel;c- werr made by Cham
bcI!d;u, 4 terrible outrage upon a poor cOlOred
lamiiy has been committed in this county,
ucar Ridge Spring. On Friday night, the 1lth
instant, twenty-five or ;hrty masked men Wis
tied The house Of poor dcIcnceless colorcd
man, took out the man, his wife and two other
mCmlCrs of the family, and Deat them unmer-
Cifully. The mans wife was stripped, severely
whipped. and then three candles were lighted
:,ud She was tortured by the drippings of hot
scaling wax on her ierSon, held over these
burning candles. \ Young female of the fam
iiv, in trevail, was brUtIlly used, and it is
thought that death will certainly ensue. A
vOUnG man of the same family was taken out,
severely whipped, and then piece of flesh cut
out OF his arm with 4 razor. and thrown on the
ground right before his face. The old man,
the head of the family, was whipped almost
IL death. Is not this deed the result of the
teachings of those who ought TO be conscrY-
arors of the peace: These Christian gentle
men, who ought to he teaching morality and
loyalty 10 the Government, instead of eXhOrt-
ing the people to violence and blOOdshed! Ii
must be remembered that Ridge Spring is
the first place in which an outrage was COM
mi.tcd in 1874, just before the election in
that year. 1t has taken the lead again in
1876"
And yet certain Gushers will persist in
lauding Chamberlain TO the Skies and
Sscribc to him great purity of motive for
his treacherous policy in South Carolina.
