Independent Movements.

Webster has a peculiar, particular
and significant definition for those
who propose to assume the role Of an
dependent candidates under the ex'
listing status of affairs. For once IN
the history of Louisiana, since the
close Of the war, under a sea Of tro"'
bles, difficulties, dangers and oppres-
sions, the control Of affairs is passing
into the hands of those to whom it
properly belongs-the 'ohite citizens
of the State, those who represents it's
intelligence. wealth and integrity.
Yet there are those who prate of an
Independent movement, who d'sap'
pointed in some individual scheme
for personal aggraudizement, declai"
against the nominations recently
made by the Democratic convention
and propose to oppose their success
full election. Msyhap they belong to
that class of our citizens who can
sleep calmly amid "our sea OF diff
culties" and after the danger is past
arouse out of their refreshing slum-
bers and make light Of the evils which
have threatened their homes and
families. Independent candidates,
at this particular and peculiar time
smacks ofopposition to the announced
choice of the people. 1t proclaims
emphatically, that these men-luke'
warm at best-are ready to oppose
the mass of our citizens in their at"
tempts not only at self-government,
but at self.preservation. The victory
is almost won, the slogan that has ap-
pealed in warning notes for long
years to keep bright and burning the
watch fires of constitutional liberty

ONE GOOD EFFECT.

The hard times lave had one good effect
which should lave been produced long ago
the removal of a great many people from
the towns n cities, always overcrowded,
to the broad, unoccupied lands of the far
West. The sales of land by the government
and the railways in that region have been
much larger during the last year than for
years previous. In Dakota alone the
government sold, last year, over 800, 900
acres, seven times Us much as the previous
year. In Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska,
Wyoming, and Colorado, the sales have been
rem arka bl.. heav. boil by governm EN-. and
the railways 1t is estimated that o 1000
900 to 5000, 0UJ more acres have been dis.
posed Of there in the past thar in the pre-
ceding twelvemonth, and the demand for
lar continues active. When the hosts OF
unemployed laborers who cling to the cities,
despite their enforced idleness, shall have
gone to tilling the soil, one of the serious
troubles of the day will have been natur-
ally and permanently adjusted. Necessity
teaches what argument and illustration
never can. Political economists and news.
paper scribes might advise the poor and un.
employed to go West until they had grown
grey, and all to no purpose. Four or five
years of n-on-occupation and need nave set
the tide Of humanity flowing in that most
wholesome and desirable direction. -Ne,o

THE FIVE LARGEST STATES.

Tie five largest states in 1870 showed an
aggregate population of IA, S49, 600, scat
tered over an area of territory containing
$4,000 square miles, or over 161, 300, 900
acres, or more than double the area Of Great
Britain and one-ifth larger than France.
Eighty years g the territory, where over
1000, 600 Of these intelligent people now live,
was occupied by rowing tribes of savages.
In 1880 the five largest states will probably
as follows New York, Pennsylyania
Illinois, Ohio, md Iowa. Perhaps Missouri
hold her position as the fifth over Iowa,
but it is somewhat doubtful. 1t will be
several decades before New York and Penn
sylvania will surrender their political posi-
as first and second rank, but it is only
a question of time, for we believe in the
