The Significance Of the Cam.
 paign.

The republic has reached its highest point of development under existing conditions. Our people may make grand acheive
 ments in the way of commerce, but as nationals a republic--We can go no further until we over come the obstacle that now checks our progress. We are DO longer
 homogeneous people, and without homogenity we cannot grow. The authority of the general govern ment is not recognized in the solid Suuth, and the people of the North who entertain republican ideas dare not express tn hem when 1 in the South. In view Of these grave facts it is useless to strive 1 for reforms that would otherwise demand and receive immediate attention, and any serious talk about progress is absurd while this obstacle remains. The loyal people of the United States must give their whole attention to this one point until they can tru,hfulIy say that ali American citizens have practically the same rights in every section of the Union. Literal secession would be far preferable 10 the present pracii- cal secession. The condition Oi the South MeXicaniZas our gener

Election Figures from the South.

Since there are Democratic journals and speakers reckless enough to assert that there has been 20 bulldozing at the South, a few election figures from that region are in order. We will be- gin with South Carolina. In 1872 the vote Of that State WAS 72,29O Repab!icansand 33 ,S96 Democrats. The majority given to Grant was 49, ,587. In 1876 President Hayes receivedsa majority of just S90. In 1878 the Republicans dared not nominate a man against Wade Hampton, and only 36 Republi. can votes were cast in the state. The significance of these figures will be seen still more clearly when we add that by the last census the population Of South Carolina consisted of 2S9, ,667 whites and 415,8l5 colored.
 In Mississippi in 1872 Grants majority was 34,687. In 1876 this majority had not only disap- peared, but s majority of 59,578 | was given to Tilden; showing a change of nearly 95,O00 votes in four years, during which time no change of politics had occurred. Tn 1872 the Republican vote was 82,1 In 1877 1t had sunk to 1,178. The population by the last census was 392, ,996 white and 444,. POI colored.
 In Alabama Grants majority in 1872 was 1O,825. In 1876 Tilden's majority was B, 772. At the last state election the Republicans had given up the fight and did not venture to nominate a ticket The population at the last census was 52l, l,284 whites and 175, ,51( coiored.
 In Louisiana the Republican vote in 1872 was 7l,673. In 1879 i
 had dwindled down to 26,611. IL 1872 the Republicans had.a major ity of 14,634. In 1870 the Demo crats had & majority of 27, 7,333
 The population in 1870 was 362,. 0G6 whites and 364 210 co!ored. Ehese figures dc not lie. The, are the accepted statements of ac tuai facts. They prove beyon, , dispute that the Southern Demo crats have succeeded in suppress 5 ing the Republican vote of tn states in question. That suppres l sion has been effected by in

A WeIl.executed counterfeit of the standard dollar, oated 1880, aud bearing the coinage in- itials of the San Francisco Mint, has been discovered. The weight of the spurious coin is only 301a grains, while that of the genuine is 4l2a grains. A dull appearance and a soapy feeling are the other pecuiiarities of the counterfeit.

A New Phaee of the Chinese
 Question.

The new departure of the Chi nese government is subject for thought and dispassionate inves- tigatiOn. China, for the first time in history, has voluntarily enter ed into commercial competition with the maratinne nations of the earth, who are thus brought into contact with new industrial and economic conditions. It is very evident, therefore, that the Asi. atic trade must speedily pass out Of the control Of the Western na- tions, unless ti1ay conduc. their operations upon the same basis as the Chinese. This will affect labor and profits to an extent which no one can forsee. The vast population of China, their skill, capacity for sustained labor, their commercial enterprise and economic resources, render them the most formidable competitor to the Caucasian race, and. it is not to be doubted that their sud- den impact with Western civili- zation will test it's vitality to the utmost. It has been said that Western methods and ideas will be adopted by China in time. We do not doubt that the Chinese will learn how to manufacture and handle tools and machinery like Americans or Europeans; but they will never adopt Vest ern ideas. This would simply be an impossibility with them; but their great power will come by directing our labor saving ma chinery in their own way, and permitting the labor displaced by It 10 swarm out abroad, competing with the domestic Iator in other countries. h this way the Chi neae, who number about third of the human race, would con- trol the worlds production, regu. late prices and the wages of labor, and become the dominant manu. featuring and commercial people. This is the inevitable result unless the statesmanship of the West ern nations, and the energy and skill of their people, are capable of creating new conditions te countervail the strong points oI advantage which the Chinese undoubtedly possess. This coun , try, being nearest to China, has z great problem to solve requiring
 the highest order of statesman
 ship. The Chinese question has , been raised above the level of tht F stump and must be dealt witt
 by the statesmen and thinkers o 7 the nation.- Post.

"Who Gaosa Dat NsckG;e. ;"

Yesterday, while one of the clerks at the courthouse was making out the death warrants of those leading citizens who had not paid their taxes, a ddntly6ed darkey entered, and asked:

 ''What do you want?' asked the clerk.
 ''Is dis heah de place whar yer comes when you has got a private greiYance again some udder nig- gah::''

We were assured by a gentleman last
week, who was clcctionccring against
Major White, that there was an sup
rising among the people of the county
and that no high tax nan could be
elected, !" and that the country people
would let no clown man dictate 20
them But it seems that the gentle
man was mistaken the people are not
as big fools as he thought they were.
Moreover, no town man dictated or
wanted to dictate that we ever heard of.
The people 0 ftown are always found
voting for the best men, whether they
live in town or the country and any
man who would try to get up a bad
feeling between the people of town and
those OF the country districts on ac-
count ofthcir place of residence de-
serves the contempt of every honest
man.

Gen. Hancock was one of the three
corps commanders who sat il a council
of war H. Gen. Grants tent during the
six days fighting in the Wilderness In
1861. The corps commanders were ask
ed for their opinions on the military
situation on the llth of May, and Gen .
Hancock advised that the army should
he withdrawn TO the opposite side of
the Rhapidan, otherwise it would he an
initiated and the cause lost. Grant
listened, gave each of the Generals
sealed orders, which they expected
would be orders To retreat but which
on opening them, much 10 their sur-
prise, they found to he orders TO adj
vance, and they did advance-with
what good result is now a matter of
history. Yet the Democrats talk at
Hancock us the ">upcrb' soldier, the
great captain and claim for him mill
taSTy ability greater than that of Grant.

cral who was beaten in 1861, as Han
