THE DEADLOCK.

There is significance about the
struggle in the Senate over the cleo.
ton of officers, that elevates it far
above mere struggle for patronage.
Aside from the effort the Democracy
are making to perpetnate their au-
thority, even when in minority, is
the fact they are attempting to sup
press independent action in the
South. They believe that if Malone
and his friends are encouraged by
Republican help, others may follow,
and finally the solility' of the South
be permanently broken. The bull
doing efforts of Dan Voorhees, and
Ben Hill, is the crack of the slave
drivers whip. Malone, they think,
must be destroyed, and they are put
ting forth the utmost strength of the
Bourbon hosts to accomplish that
end. The Republican Senator's be-
lieve that free thought and majority
rule should obtain in the South as
we'll as in the North, hence they sus-
tain Malone. With him they have a
majority, and must in the end
triumph, so that the Bourbon strug-
gle is their old fight against fate and
the inevitable tendencies of the times.
That they will be defeated in the end,
is most certain. Their present fight
is an evidence that the Bourbon rep
tile, true to its species, learns moth
ing, forgets nothing, and dies hard.

The Evening News, of this city,
has a theory that in twenty years the
plateau rigion of the south will have
no larger colored element than the
colored population of Ohio and In
diana. The colored people, it thinks,
"will occupy almost precisely the
country of the ancient Mobilians-
a crescent shaped slice lying round
the coast with one tip touching the
mouth of the James River on the
Atlantic coast, and the other reaching
up the Mississippi as far as Memphis,
perhaps. This, the land Of the blacks
for the future seems to be that hich
will girdle the South toward the sea
all around" This is a very pretty
theory, hut we fear the next census
will knock it higher'n kite.
