-Ecumenical councils may sit on
these recent fabulous census reveia-
tons, but men will still wonder how 43
per cent, was added to the population
Of State in ten years, during which
she received exactly l39 foreign immi-
grants, fact established without the
aid of any census.
When the war was over, had there
been hearty, manly acceptance Of the
most generous, magnanimOus terms
the world ever saw accorded by victOrs
in any case-not in any like case, be-
cause there is none like it in history !;
had politics and Thirst for power
played less part, wasted less time, and
less wrong; had industry, enterprise.
thrift, and humanity ruled the hour |;
had there been more mending, and
building, and planting, and sowing;
had there been less Ostracism and hate
to repel Northern capital, and keep
back and drive Northern men had q
fair days wages been paid for q fair
days work had there been no perse-
cutiOn or exodus of labor had repudi-
alton been lOathed and stunned and
not embraced-hOw high, i'm the fir
mament Of the Union would glitter the
constellation of the South.

This theory, as far as it ever was true.
belongs to the past. The tread OF man
in all ages has been on the lines Of lati-
tude, not on lines of longitude. Rivers
and mountains on this continent run
north and south. Men bridge and tun-
mel them, and move east and west.
This is the ordinance of q power high

The enterprise which In its youth and
helplessness fiOated the way the water
ran has changed its course. Trade has
veered from one point Of the compass
to the other, and permanently altered
its relations. The construction of rail-
ways has revOluti0niZed traffic and
transportation.
i affirm that the broad issue at this
election is, whether our colossal fabric
of commercial, industrial, and financi-
al interests shall be under the man
agement and protection of those who
chiefly created and own it, or shall be
handed over to the sway Of those
whose share in il is small and whose ex-
perience, theories, and practices do not
fit them or entitle them to assume its
control.
i repeated here, as said i'm the
Senate, when the government was ia
ken by the throat and threatened with
strangulatiOn, unless the election laws
were stricken down, that the Demo-
cratic party would have no majority in
either house of Congress, except for
elections dominated and decided by
violence and fraud.
The resolution admitting Texas to
the Union in IS45 provided for erecting
out of Texas FOUR additional States.
The AGRA and population are both suf-

territories whose traditions and preju-

also be made. Schemes exist, not in

SLICE Of Mexico Cattle-stealing on the
Rio Grande border has been and is q
fruitful occasion for incursiOns into
Mexico. Special cavalry regiments Of
unusual size have been raised and
stationed on the Texan frontier. II is
an open secret that not long ago much
exertiOn and alertness were needed to
keep us out of another Mexican war.
Without violating the Constitution or
transcending the usages of the Repub-
lie, at least seven new States could be
brought in, and in the ease of some If
them very plausible ease could be
made. The project would become
a high party measure; its success
would assure complete Democratic as
cendancy in the nation for a genera
ton at least.
The Congressional Record will in

Mr.. Manning, of Mississippi, a state
well known TO he jealously sensitive to
the pure administration of justice and
the rigorous punishment of the crimes,
especially hideOus, cowardly murder
and massacre, introduced bill to place
twelve new additional judges ON the
Supreme Bench. What an easy, effect
ual, and withal plausible disposition
this would make OF the court. Increa-
ed business would be such an innocent
excuse. The court could sit by sevens
for some purposes, and meet in ban
Quet for large purposes, when State
sovereignty and State rights amend
ments to the Constitution and cotton
taxes and the like were at stake. The
bill passed to a second reading, and
was referred to a committee, whose
chairman, q few days afterward, came
into the House and denounced the
court, and said the majority Of the
present Judges were 'hOpelessly lost
in the fog For the present ii would
be premature and bungling to pass
such bill.
