Coming Down Like the Stick.
II. Y. Tribune.

One of the most notable facts al,
ready clearly set forth in the cleo
ton returns is the great Greenback
fiasco. But a little while ago, and
the new party was the subject of
deep anxiety to veteran politicians
and unholy joy to the demagogues.
1t threatened to wreck all the plans
Of the one class, and babe fair to
make the fortunes of the other. 1t
was to hold the balance of power in
Congress and in our Legislatures;
it might make the next President,
and we dare say General Butler
even did little serious thinking
about his Cabinet.
The elections have been held, and
this vision is rudely swept away.
There will be only six straight
Greenbackers in the next House Of
Representatives, and only two men,
bers who have been elected by flu
sion of the Greenbackers and Demo-
Gratis. The State delegations are
SO arranged that one Greenbacker
may have it in his power, in voting
for President, to tie the House, but
that is remote contingency. After
all the vainglorious predictions of
the soft money party, they are left
almost wholly without representa-
ton in the lower House of Con-
gress; and in this State, where they
proposed to dictate the name of Mr..
Conkling's successor, they have a
pitiful showing Of two members of
Assembly. Greenbackism has not
had half the growth of Pendleton-
ism in 1868, and it looks as if it
might die even a quicker death.

SECTIONAL ISSUES.

What IS called the Southern
policy of President Hayes has been
severely criticised by great many
Republicans, but, after all, we will
not be surprised if it turns out TO
be the policy that IS to strengthen
the Republican party and defeat the
Democracy in the next Presidential
election. There is no denying the
fact that large proportion Of the
Northern people were in favor of
putting the people of the South
upon their good behavior. The
policy Of protecting Southern Re
pubicans with Federal bayonets
had become unpopular, and a change
was demanded. Yielding to this
demand, and following his own
natural inclination, the President
resolved TO adopt a conciIiatory
policy towards the South, and did
so, as we think, at the expense of
strict justice. We are willing TO
admit, however, that under all the
circumstances, it was difficult for
him TO do otherwise.
Under this policy, the Democrats
of South Carolina, Mississippi and
Louisiana have been left perfectly
free to do just what they pleased to
10. Each of these States, if they
could have been canyassed as other
States, and tie voters left to act
freely and without restraint, would
have given large Republican major
tiles and elected not less than ten
to fourteen Congressman. This
would have changed the political
complexion of the next House. But
the election in these States was a
farce. The Republicans were not
allowed to hold political meetings
except in the presence of the red
shirt brigades, who threatened and
prosecuted and maltreated al who
differed with them.
The people Of the North are
waking up to these things. They
see that the State governments are
Republican only in name, and that
it will be dangerous to allow the
Federal Government to pass into
the hands of men who refuse to
guarantee the freedom of the bal
lot box in these States. They I'M
derstand that a "soid South" must
be met with a "solid North, and
this will be the result.
regret that our politics are in
that shape. Sectional issues are
dangerous, but the Democratic
South has set the example, and
thereby forced the people who re
side in the States which stood
true TO the Union to COM
bIne as a matter of
self preservation. We had hoped
that such state of affairs would
never be brought about. But it
appears to be coming, and the fact
that the Southern people have re~
iected the olive branch held out to
them by the President will serve to
unity the people of the North, And
now it appears as if this issue will
enter largely into the next Presi-
Dental election.

The Chinese Wall.

GMr. Unthank, an American engineer,
has been engaged lately making a survey
for a Chinese railway, during which he
took measurements in many places of the
great wall of China. He gives the highth
at IS feet, and the. width, on top. Is.
he foundation of this immense wall is
solid granite. The wall goes for 1900
mile over N FOUNTAINS, chasms and valleys.
1t was built to keep out the Tartars. Mr..
-Unthank brought back with him q brick
from this wall, which is supposed to have
been made 200 years before Christ. In
some places the wall is built smooth up
against The canyons or precipices, where
there is a sheer descent of 1000 feet
Small stereams are arched over but in the
larger streams the wall is built to the
waters edge, and a tower is built OH each
side. To calculate the time of building
or cost Of this wall is beyond human
skill. On the top Of the wall are breast
works for defences, facing in and out 50
that the defending force can pass from
one tower to the other without being ex-
posed to any enemy from either side.
So far as the magnitude of the wall is
concerned, it surpasses everything in
ancient or modern times, Of which there
is any trace. It is said that the Pyra-
mids Of Egypt are nothing compared to it.
