BEFORE the war the employment of white
laborers by farmers or planters was almost
unknown in the mountain regions of Vir-
ginia. The same fact is true to greater or
less extent of the entire South. The OBJ
servant traveller in those sections now, how
ever, will find radical change in this re-
gard. Where all of the agricultural work
was formerly done by blacks, n great deal,
if not one-half OF it, in the mountain Sec
tiOns referred to, is now done by whites.
This is step in the right direction but it
is strange fact that these white laborers
are nearly all as pliable in politics now us
they were in days gone by, when they we're
rated as poor white trash" and voted by
the hog-pen full. They are Democrats of
course, and seem to be ignorant of the fact,
wilfully ignorant, that the Republican party
is the only party which can be truthfully
accounted us the friend of the laboring

THEHUMAN SPECIES. BY a. DE QuARrREFEssEs.
Professor of Anthropology in the Museum Of Ma
tional History, Paris. New York d. Appleton
& Co. Washington, d. C.; f. b. Mohun.
This volume, which forms number of the
international scientific series, considers with
much care and attention the human species,
from its origin, through its antiquity, its ocali-
zation, its multiplication, n,acclimatzation treat
ing of physiological, intellectual, moral, aud
religious characters. 1t treats of the hypothesis
of Darwin, Haeckel, Wallace, NJ. Naudin,
Agassiz. These theories relating to the human
species are varied aud interesting, but after all
it is very difficult for man, who is "fearruly
aud wonderfully made" to comprehend his own
existence and to learn much TO his own salts
faction in regard to his origin. About all that
we know Of ourselves is from observation aud u
history, which dates soon after the dawn of
creation in the Garden of Eden. To plunge
into the mysteries that lie beyond is to get lost
in the subject.

WHENEVER the Democracy fights for
anything with earnestness and vigor it is
certain 10 fail The st. Louis Globe Demo-
crdt calls attention to this fact in n pointed
paragraph, declaring that the Democratic
party lost slavery by fighting for it, and
predicting that it will lose State sovereignty
in the same way if il is not very careful.
The only mistake about the Globe Democrats
prediction is the assumption that the Demo-
Gratis are not fighting for State sovereignty !;
they are fighting for State Rights. The differ
ence between the two is very wide-State
Rights being the twin sister Of secession
and State sovereignty being the subtle
agency for the adjustment of Il proper equi-
librium between the State and the General
Government. 1t is true that the Demo-
crafts make use Of the phrase Estate sover-
eighty" very frequently in their argu-
ments nowadays, but they pervert its mean-
ing. The sovereignty OF State is circum-
scribed to the limits of local government
and is subordinate to the sovereignty of the
United States. 1t does not confer upon the
State any right, for example, to interfere
with the supervision by the United States
of the election of officers of the General
Government

IT is fact worthy of note that inde-
pendentism, as it is called in political jour
nalsm has almost entirely disappeared in
this country. In 1872 the crop of Inde-
pendent political journals was so large that
the type-lounders were called upon to make
extra fonts of type with an unusual num-
Der of great big capital rs in them. Their
disappearance now, however, is an nssur-
ance that party lines will be drawn with
the utmost strictness in 1880. If the Green
hackers swallow the Democrats, as seems
likely, or Uice rersd there will be only
two tickets of prominence in the feld-the
Republican and the Democratic. The re-
suit will be a fair showing of the relative
strength of these two great parties, and, OF
course, the defeat of the Democracy.

the execution of the fugitive slave law that
he had enough of it then to season him, as
it were. BY strange coincidence, effected
through the ever-changing conditions of
politics, he is now subjected to the same
kind of anmadversion, and for similar rea-
sons To faithfully execute the laws, re-
gardless of sentiment and Of partisan per-
secution, seems TO be his fate; but it ap-

sec these rebel Democrats crowding Union
soldiers out of place. They see the Demo
Gratis, when they have control, dismissing
armless and legless Union soldiers to make
room for ex-rebels or Copperhead bummers
and thus see Republican Executive per-
mitting the heads of the Departments to ap-
point rebels to Office
1t is time for the soldiers TO organize to
unite for their own protection. They are
doing so with but one object, and that is to
bring the Republican party to its senses.
The soldiers are not fools enough to expect
anything from the Democratic party. They
do not propose to sell out" to it at any
price, but they do propose to let the Re-
publican leaders understand that the SOL
dier element cannot be ignored. Ex-rebels
who were soldiers and who have laid down
their arms, and are no longer fighting with
the bullet, for the political heresies they
once fought for with the bullet, will hearth
ly unite with the Union soldiers in this
effort. Their motto is: "Soldiers to the
front, all along the line" With that motto
the Democrats have no sympathy, and the
soldiers know it. The occasional nomina-
tion of q Union soldier to office is, to use
common phrase, too thin" to deceive any
one.
1t is only done when there is hope that
IL will catch soldier votes. In the Forty
fourth Congress there were several men,
bers elected from the South who were
Union soldiers, Or Union sympathizers Now,
that the South is solid, these have had to
give place to ex-Confederate soldiers or
sympathizers, the others having been merely
used as a bait to catch the votes of Union
men until they were no longer needed.
The new movement of the soldiers of
which the Bulletin speaks is good one
and should succeed. We unite with them
in saying: Soldiers to the 'front.' all along
the line"
