Geography as 1t is Going to BE.

AS certainly as terrestrial revolutions
continue, in the course of 10000 years,
says writer in the Popular Science
Monthly for April, there must come an en-
tire reversal of polar conditions. Tho
Southern waters must be drained off TO
make the oceans of an opposite hemis-
pherc. New lands, enriched with the
sediment of hundred centuries, will rise
up to extend the borders of the old South
continents, and islands joining together
will expand into mainlands. AT the same
time the Northern continents must be in
great part submerged, and their SUBMITS
and ranges become the bleak islands and
the bold headlands of a tempestuous
ocean. Central Asia, with its broad table
lands, may still retain the name of CON
tinent; but beyond few outlying islands
there will be no Europe and but little Of
North America left. The Atlantic waters
will stand 800 feet over Lake Superior,
and will wash the base of the Rocky
Mountains in all their length A new
Gulf Stream may again, as 1t must often
have done before, flow to the Valley of
the Mississippi, returning the deltas 10
the prairies, and remsking the beds of the
garden Of the world. These are no idle
or impossible fancies. Not only are they
the results of rigorous calculation. but
they accord perfectly with the unmistaka-
BILE evidences which the ocean has left all
over our land, of its recent work and
presence.

of civilization. The Acknowledgement of
the negroes is a startling illustration of the
great ce Of our American political system,
the divorce Of political privileges from pO-
litical duties. The real reason why those
who are tlled upon to undertake great po-
litical duties without corresponding privi-
leges have declined to accede to the de-
mand. The suffrage was conferred upon
the blacks as if it had been merely an idle
instrument applicable to one purpose or an
other, instead of being what it is, the gr at
est of our political institutions, freighted
with all our civil interests. For fear lest
the negroes should suffer oppression from
the civil power, civil power was put in
their hands. They are responsible if they
use it for oppression. They have abused
the power Of taxation, have loaded the com
muniIy with debt, have made legislation a
farce and the adminIstr alton OF Justice a
mockery. The civil rights which govern,
ment is meant to conserve they have tram
pied under foot.
Mr. w. G. Sumner says that negro suf-
frage WAS AN experiment. No sober man
ever thought otherwise Lii every expert
ment, it must be judged by its results. The
| question of the color of the skin ought not
to decide the right to the franchise any
more than the color of the eyes or the hair,
but TO take II mass # newly-enfranchised
slaves being numerical ma ority of the
population III many districts, and to endow
them every one with the franchise under the
majority rule, was to push certain practical
polIsical expedients to absurd extremes
under which they break to pieces. If any
one thinks that it is the prerO1atiUe CT the
ma 0rity TO rule, will he say that maj IrItv
| which wants to do mi. chief has right to
do il?
The arguments used in this connect N

have not republican government-the an
swer is, so much the worse for republican

NOW AND THEN-CHE DIFFERENCE,

In 1872 the effect Of the conquest of In
diana and Ohio by Radicalsm was the in
slant confession everywhere that Greeley
was beaten and Grant elected hu now
when the tables are TUNED and Ohio gives
a bare Republican majority, and Indiana
pronnunces against Hayes, we are gravely
told that these facts have lost significance
and that in the presidential election the
question is shall the united s nth triumph
over the united North. The North, we
are assured, will never suffer the South to
give the country President, and therefore
there can he no possibility of Tilden's elcc
ton. 1t should not be forgotten that this
was the very is ue made and the fact that
was discussed di HuuSedm is the recent
struggle in Indiana and Ohio. 1t was the
bloody shirt that was held up hourly before
each excited throng that was marshaled
before popular orators in these two States.
There are no new questions to be raised
ami no new issues to be decided or prcju-
truth, as the contest progresses, will reach
the people of the North. Misrepresenta-
tions will steadily lose credibility and force.
They were thrust forth too violently and
termined. There are limits defining the
capaciousness of human creduliiy. These
have been overleaped by the Inter Oceans
and Bob Ingersolls of the North, and from
this time forth the ferocity of Radical party
leaders and newspapers must be Modified.
When passion cools reason reigns, and the
necessity for reform and honesty in the
administration of public affairs must be con-
fessed by every taxpayer. Greeley's defeat
was not only accomplished by the elections
in Ohio and Indiana, terminating very
differently from those of last week, but
everywhere in the United States, just be
tore the election of four years age, the
whole body of bankers AK merchants were
seriously and earnestly alarmed hecaHHseo OF
apprehended hnancial-Fevufsions and in
flute commercial disasters if the queer old
| philosopher were placed at the helm of
State. Bankers and merchants even of the
| south became lnlmlCal TO Horace Greeley,
and men of this class in every city and vii
lage of the North became compact force
everywhere toiling for Graut. 1t happens,
however, that the uncalculable misfortunes,
sought to be evaded by the election of
Grant, were aggravated by that event, and
there have occurred greater commercial dis
asters or mhre numerous among the rich
and among the poor than were ever
known before. Tildens pr ctical wisdom
is unqutstioned; his fitness for high off, e
is admitted; his hatred of rogues confessed.
He has shown how he can serve the Union
by his distinguished wisdom and ii mness
aud moderation in shaping public events in
New York, and if the North can only be
Invested of the absurd idea that the South
proposes to rule the country through the ln-
PREVENTION of Tilden, the bloody banner of
Morton and Ingersoll will he lowered and
that of common country uphfted in its
| stead.

NORTHERN TEXAS grows In wealth and
population more rapidly even than the coun-
try about Austin, and for the confessed
reason, as stated by the Express, that North
ern Texas has shown infinite energy in in
viting immigrants. She has advertised her
lands and their advantages throughout the
country. No doubt. her natural position
has much to do with her success, it being
the great gateway to T,xts through which
all must pass. But it Is a confessed fact
that that portion of the State is known

A SIMPLE EXPOSITION OF GREAT
TRUTH.

We would gladly impress upon the hearts
simple truth, that there is right far more
fundamental to civil liberty than the right
to vote or the right of the majority to rule,
and this is the right to hdps good government
This IL the RICH, of every human being,
white or black, aud this We do concede. 1t
appertains, an able writer says, to minori-
ties, to women, to minors and to any class
winch does not possess the franchise, 1t is a
right which begins when government be-
gins, and which Is good against sutocrats,
aristocrats or democratic majorities. Ii is
the principle that government should exist
for the governed, not for the government.
Il Is the doctrine that government is of,
for and by the people in its strioter aad
more correct expression. 1t is the justif-
cation of all criticism, accusation and con-
domination OF government, and, in the last
resort, il is the justification Of revolution.
-Hrss,- rexolntion in history which can be
justified at all, is justified On the ground
that those who held the power did not give
the governed good government, security
for life, liberty, justice and property.
The indictment now against the blacks
Of the South is that, in proportion as their
numbers have given them an approximate
or an actual majority, good government has
been lost. They cannot evade this respon-
sibility. They have been put IN position
where the gravsst responsibilities Of civil
ned life have been put in their control,
snd they have abused the power 10 over

IT would be u happy cUnsummation If the
North could be made to understand that
the South, in the pending comet, Is not

peace, order, security and self-government.

US and in favor of ignorance, misrule and
corruption3 In the present temper Of the
South the movement which is going on will
not cease with the presidential campaign.
1t will go on until the government is in the
hands of those who know something about
how to use it. The suffrage once given is
irrevUcable, and some adjust ment or re-
striction will have to be found under it.
The question for the Northern people is
Whether they will allow the adjustment to
be made by the parties directly interested,
so that the social equilibrium may be re-
stored, or Will they try to dictate
the course to be adopted l.

THE AMERICAN Staple.

A specimen stalk of prolific cotton
brought to the STATESMAN office yesterday
leads US to comment upon the subject of
staples. The fact is we'll known that for "a
been losing character, and it is reasonab' e
t. believe this decline in quality is attribu
table to the increased growth of prolific
cottons. II is well known that all the
give small yield The largest crop OBJ
tanned from sea island cotton, on lands
best adapted to its growth, is three to five
hundred pounds of seed cotton. The silk
duce double this amount, while the gulf
and other similar varieties yield, in the
strongest soils, from 1900 to 1000 pounds to
the acre. The gulf varieties verge upon
the prolitics, but they established aud fully
maintain the character of American cottOns,
though they fall very far behind the sea
island and silk varieties in quality of staple.
And so goes the ratio; "a quantity increases
quality decreases. The prolitics have reached
in production 5000 pounds to the acre.
and even more rs sometimes stated, The
question with the planter is a simple one.
The prolific pays the best, as it both re
euires less labor to produce it and gives
more return in money, but the manufac'
turer will be called on to decide in the end
whether it be best to enter into the whole
sale production of prolific cottoRs or to cor
tnue the production of the old varieties
1t depends upon discrimination and de-
mand, and becomes a commercial problem
for future settlement.
