Mr.. Maynard occupies the McCastle

has bought and is fixing up G. g..

his reasons for leaving Mississippi is
not because this is better country for

because they have no show at all there.
All right, Mr.. W., you will find there's
plenty of room here.
We understand that family both

Our New York Letter.

THE CENSUS RETURNS-FOURTH OF JU-
LYNN THE HETEROGENEOUS
PUBLICATIONS MISS vANDERBILTAN AND
THE BRITISH NOBLEMAN.
New YORK, July 9, 1880.
To the Editor of the CaledOnian:
New York, at the close of the late
enumeration, did not prove to be so
populous rs some over sanguine peO-
pie expected by two hundred thousand
or more. 1t shared its disappointment
in this respect with nearly every city
in the country; for cities, like individ-
uals, are apt to overrate themselves,
and carry their valuation at high fig
ure. But nearly million and a quar-
ter of people in New York, more than
half a million in Brooklyn, and be-
tween two and three hundred thousand
in Jersey City, Hunters Point, and
other immediate environs of the me-
tropolis, swell the number, in the great
center of population, to more than two
millions. That is sufficient for a
growth which has taken place almost
entirely during the present century.
But, after all, it is material, intellect
ual and moral progress, and not popu-
lation, that should make the pride of
great cities. And how stands the rec
ord with New York in this respect ?
That we have great wealth here, an
enormous aggregation of capital, is I'M
doubtedly true; and that the educa-
tional progress of the city has kept
pace with its advancement in popula-
ton, is reasonable claim. 1t is one
of the great educational centers of the
world, in fact; city filled with insti-
buttons of learning of a very high or
der in every department of knowledge,
elementary, professional, scientific, and
technical. And in the fine arts we
have much more merit than reputation
but the want of great public galleries
for exhibition keeps our achievements
in this line in a corner. We are NOV
ing, however, and the world is begin
ming to find that Americans, too, can
paint good pictures. But, architect
urally, the city is mass of crudities
and ineongruities; and in sanitary sci

The Irish Troubles.

There is no doubt but the Irish peo-
pie are in state of ferment. That
their original troubles were real, that ar
bitIary hands have been laid upon them
sometime, and that they are deeply
sensitive regarding their wrongs, we
have not the least doubt. But to come
right down to the hard-pan, what good
does all their agitation dOq Would it
not be infinitely better for the Irish
people to calm down a little, look
things squarely in the face, and with
good sense conform to the inevitable
state of things 1t will also do no good
to make up faces at England. 1t will be
nonsense for them to threaten her. 1t
is foOlishness to organize armed resis-
lance, or to undertake to raise money
for any military purposes. If they can,
not live in Ireland, there are other
lands that will gladly receive them if
they will be peaceable, let whiskey
alone and 60 to work. They must not
expect, at present, to revolutionize pub
lie sentiment, or law, in regard to what
they denominate their wrongs. Eng
land rules the Irish people, and is go
ing to for a good while to come; and
we are not sure but it is the best thing
for them, all things considered. Our
advice to our Irish friends would be,
don't kick against the pricks, unless
you wish to get badly hurt.

Rebuke of Mr.. Downey.

We now and then see what foolish
things some of our public men would
do if they could. Congressman Dow
ney, from the west, not long since
wanted money appropriated to adorn
the walls of the Capitol with scriptural
paintings, to proue that we are very
pious nation Nothing bad about that,
of course, if it could be squarely done
but this over anxious gentleman went
into the extravaganza of making long
poem speech upon the subject, which
was printed at the public expense, and
which was SO exceedingly ridiculous,
that We give below the well merited
humorous rebuke of Senator Nye in the
DenUer Tribune:
81 will say of Col. Downey's poem,
that it certainly has great depth and
width and length, aud as you go on it
seems to broaden ont and extend further
on and cover more ground and take in
more territory, and branch out and
widen and lay hold of great tracts OF
thought, and open up new fields and
fresh pastures, and make homestead
claims and enter large desert land
tracts, and prove up under the Timber
Culture act, and the Bounty Land act,
and throw open the Indian reserva-
ton to settlement"

ing lions. No one believes that Mr..
Weaver or Neal Dow will ever be
President. But after all it may not be
prudent or wise to despise the existence
of the parties they represent, for their
influence may yet be considered of some
importance in the ultimate work of the
campaign. 1t is worse than nonsense
to say, small as these parties are, that
they are not sincere and determined.
Both believe they are contending for
principle. 1t isn't natural for MINORS
ties, on any subject, to spend their time
and money fighting against great odds,
receiving the jeers and opprobrium of
the world, without they think they
are right. We look upon these parties,
not as representing the common issues
of campaign, but special ones-a sort
of inevitable side show to the main
performance. AS such, it will be no
more than fair to expect they will re-
ceive some consideration and some fol-
lowing. 1t is even already limited, that
the Democrats are squirting toward
them for favors and may be-we can
not exactly say how-they will be in a
position to demand something that one
or the other of the great parties will
deem for their interest to concede. But
whatever may happen, we hope the Re
publican leaders will steer clear of COM
plications of which they may be asham-
ed hereafter.

CALEDONIA COUNT
Let Us Have a Statesman.

1t is one of the odd streaks of free
people, that they will be cOntented
with magistrates of second or third rate
ability, when they might just as we'll
have the first. Availability is the secret
pass word by which one enters the
sanctuary of office. Qualification has
become Old-fashiOned and rusty, and its
time honored meaning unpleasant to
the ear. The same national party has
so many subordinate parties, that in
order to have any harmony at all, con-
cessiOns must be made that often result
in injury to the main object sought.
There was time when the word states
man had great significance. 1t is as far
removed in meaning from the modern
Interpretation, as intelligence is from
i.,Laaility- Suoh mon Adams, Web
ster. Clay, Calhoun, Cass, Benton and
Sumner, understood the principles of
government they arose in the halls of
legislation with influence and power /;
they could give point and meaning to
debate they were the peers of the best
of the Old World they could give form
and character to legislation they could
conclude treaties of force, stability and
solemnity and an admiring people lis
tened to them with pleasure and profit.
They were men naturally endowed
with political foresight, and were per-
fectly at home in the intricacies of gov
ernmental science. This is the class oil
men we need now, instead of so many
political jobbers and demagogues. Now
this is Presidential year. We want g
statesman as the leader of the American
people. The Republican nominee is ac-
knowledged to be not only scholar
and thinker, but man of nearly 2(
years. experience as legislator. He
has been educated in political science
In affairs of State he will not be at 8
loss how to act. He has been close
observer of all that pertains to the va.
riOus systems of government. He is 6
statesman, tried and trusty. Let us all
work for the elevation of such a man to
the Chief Magistracy of this nation. IL
doing this we shall follow in the foot
steps of our fathers, who labOred in q
time when craftsmanship meant some
thing.
