There are many reasons for thinking that

prisiug recuperAtioD over the whole eixteen
States constituting the section known as the
South. This reaction may net be so decided
in population, but in actual wealth, msnufac-
tures and agriculture it will be found unex-
peotedly great. 1t is, of course, known and
admitted that the progress of Texas and Mis-.
souri, has been very remarkable in ali material
aspects. In fact, these two States will contt ct
with Virginia the position of the leading
Southern State. Eventually it seems that
Texas will outstrip all other Southern States
unless her territory shall be divided. Bat

the Inevitable ResuIi.

Philadelphia Times 4 little while
ago the republicans in the senate
scOtched their conscience and talked
day and night to avert the catastrophe
which very nearly happened yesterday
and which they would have been pow
erless to avert had one more democratic
senator been present. Yet we think
the country could have survived the
terrible misfortune OF having Senator
Thurman instead OF Senator Ferry Ia
decide pOints of order in the senate.
This narrow escape should serve to
familiari2e us with the dangers of the
situation aud prepare us to meet the
inevitable with becoming foltitude.
Mr.. Ferry cannot always be with us;
indeed the day Is not very distant
when, in the natural order of politics,
the palace that now knows him shall
know him no more. Let us he pre-
