WAsHINGToN, d. c., February a. 1877.
Messrs Eddors.-'Tke political situation for the
week has been in such Il chaotic state that it has
been very difficult to foreshadow events twelve
hours ahead. Yesterday decision in the Oregon
case, however, carries away the last democratic
hope, and Cronin's nose no longer illumnes the
pathway to the White House Governor Hayes
inauguration is assured by the progress made to-
day and by the decided
RouT OF THE FILIBusTERs
which took place on the motion for n delay of the
count until Monday BY final vote of one hun
dred and seventy-fiye to seventy-fou it was de-
cided to proceed, and Mr. David Dudley Field and
his revolutionary followers were obliged to ac-
knowledge their final defeat Meanwhile the
people, who frock and unfrock Congressman, are
being heard from From the East the voice is of
no uncertain sound 1t is that the decision must
be acquiesced in. The West sends a plaintiv
howl for delay. The sentiment of the South is
acquiscence. The real mal-contents are the Ohio
democrats with small following from New York
and other middle and western states
The evidences are fast multiplying that divi-
sion in the democratic party is inevitable The
Southern men are growing FESTIVE under the i'm
erats. They refuse longer to abide by the crack
Of the democratic whip and If they are forced out
of the party they prefer quietly to withdraw them
selves rather than to be placed in false position

is very kind and painstaking on the part of these
gentlemen, but it is believed by those who are at
quainted with the incoming President that he will
prefer to do that little job in his own way and

enough have been put forward to fill hundred
Cabinets In fact, it almost pity that there
are no more offices to fill when we have so many
good men TO fill them. The question of the new
Presidents policy toward the South is one of the
most important just now, and that has some ei-

The Origin OF Prairies.

In paper in the American Natur.
alist, Prof. j. ID. Whitney, after show
Ing the insufliciency of the ordinary
theories to explain why prairies are pot
encroached upon by bordering woods,
offers the following explanation of his
own:
Let us turn at present to the geo
logical side of the investigation. The
whole of New England and New York.
and large part of Ohio and indiana,
together with the whole Of Michigan
and of Northern Wisconsin, constitute
aregion over which the northern drift
phenomena have been displayed on a
grand scale. Consequently almost the
whole of this area is covered with heavy
deposits of coarse gravel and boulder
materials. These deposits, if not at the
surface are near it, and the finer ma
terials deposited on them, by alluvian
and other agencies, generally form only
a thin covering for the coarse deposits
beneath. But as we go south and west
from the region indicated above, we
End the underlying rock-the bedrock
as the Californian miners would call
it-deeply covered with loose materials,
it is true, but we observe also that
these are quite different in character
from what they me to the north and
east. We come to q region where the
drift agencies have been very limited
I'm their action. The bulk of the super
fetal detritus has been formed from the
decomposition of the underlying rock,
and this detritus has been but little dis
turbed or moved from its original po-
sition. If erratic deposits exist, they
are usually deeply covered with tiner
materials derived from close at hand.
A great area exists in Wisconsin and
Minnesota over which not driftpebble
has ever been found, either at the sur
face or at any depth beneath it. The
strata have become chemically disag-
gregated and dissolved by the percola-
ton of the rain through them, the cal
careous matter has been carried off m
solution, and there is left behind as a
resideum the insoluble matter which
the rock originally contained, and
which, consisting largely of silica and
silicate of alumina, forms by its aggre-
CATION silicious and clayey deposit OF
almost impalpable flneness. 1t is this
fine material which makes up the bulk
of the prairie soil; and, as the writer
conceives. it is this fineness which is
especially inimical to the growth OF
trees. Exactly as we see the desicated
lakes in the midst of the forests grad
ually filling up with finely comminuted
materials and becoming covered with a
growth of grasses or sedges, which is
not afterwards encroached upon by
trees, no matter whether the ground
becomes completely dry or whether it
remains more or less swampy, so we
] have the prairies, which have certainly
never at any time been oyerspread with

The Dairy Interest,".

The country has $45O, ,0OO, 900 invested
in l0, ,O0O, 900 milch cows whose annual
product is worth S275, ,l42, ,5s5, while the
last cotton crop was worth only $780,
600.
The enormous sum Of this dairy in
terest-which includes nothing of oxen
hides or meat-will surprise every one
who has paid no attention to it. The
fallacy which destroyed the hay argu
ment is partially wanting here too. For,
while our expectation of hay amounts to
nothing, and hardly equals consumption
there is a great and rapidly growing
export of butter, cheese, salt and fresh
beef and live animals. The sum can
not be accurately computed, and carries
the particular valuations into the same
classification with cotton. For in all
these interests the final appreciation
does not rest upon the amount, how
considerable soeyer that may be, which
Is consumed at home and 50 lost to
wealth, but upon the amount beyond
consumption, which is exported and
enriches the land by its equivalent in
gold or other needs and permanent
worths.
The gross value OF cattle for labor,
manure, milk, cheese, butter, leather
and other ends, is susceptible of vast
addition and must necessarily expand
with western settlement and increase
the returns shown in our foreign trade,
while sustaining labor at home more
abundantly and cheaply, and so enabl-
ing every industry to flourish in COM
petition with less favored countries,
and greater comforts and luxuries to be
enjoyed by all. 1t will not hold the
