COMPARED with the great nations of Eu-
rope, the United States show greater pop
ulation than any except Russia, which con-
tains over seyenty-two millions of inhabi-
tants. Against our 50,152,559, Germany
shows ~, ,727, 800; Austria Hungary, 1881, :
APO; France, 36,905, ,7SS; Great Britain and
Ireland, 34,O6O,oOO; Italy, 27,719, ,745; Spain,
16,526,511. The total population of Europe
is given by the Almanach de Gotha as 311,-
763,713. Hence we have even now only
about one-sixth as many inhabitants, though
our area and that of Europe are as whole
nearly equal. The eight largest States in the
Union are in the order named: ~ New
York, ~ Pennsylvania, ~ Ohio, (4) Illi-
nois, (5) Missouri, (6) Indiana, (7) Massa-
chusetts, (S) Kentucky. The aggregate
population of these States in 1860 was 23,-
221, ,475. and in 1870 it was 10, 9,224, 100. They
had then just about one half the total popu-
ulatian: they now fall short of it by nearly
two millions.

The Peril of the South.
Observations of a Wide Awake North
ern Editor

Col. A. X. Mcclure in Philadelphia Times.
The one great peril to the South for which 1
do not see any immediate remedy is the now
inevitable division of the white vote of the
South, and the certain appeal of contending
factions to the blacks as the arbiter of dsput-
ing ambition. I have until recently shared
the very general belief of the North that the
division of the white vote in the South must
be fortunate for the black voters, as it would
create rivalry in extending to the blacks the
fullest protection. am now, though, roughly
convinced, against all my Wishes that the ne
cessary and now near division of the whites
will be fruitful of great Generalization to both
races and that it will be the severest test of
the wisdom of universal suffrage. There is
now nothing to demoralize the black man, or
to divert him from his industry and the educa-
tion of his children. He is rapidly becoming
the owner and lessee of lands, and is his own
farmer, and is, in many instances accumulat-
ing wealth with habits of industry; but when
the white man locks horns with his fellow in
the battle of ambition. the most artful dema-
gogue will best control the ignorant freedman,
and the degradation of both races must follow.
Malone teaches the lesson most pontedly in
Virginia, whore he has outstripped the Bour-
bonS in the devices of the demagogues, and
mas cOnS0lldateu oU,OOU pfopeftyleSS voters TO
stamp the ineffaceahle stain of reputation up
on an honored Commonwealth, and repeal the
just tax that opens the free school to the col
ored children.
The division of the whites in Georgia under
the Colquitt and Norwood flags, sent a hurri-
cane of debauchery among the colored vote of
that State, and all the thriftleSs cupidity
of ignorance has been whetted for future con-
tests. This severe trial of universal suffrage
must now come, and it will present the
problem in an unexpected phase to the
nation. The whites can do nothing
else than divide. They cannot and they
should not do otherwise. They are full of hu-
man nature; they have now no common dan
ger 10 make them forget all differences of
| opinion and all the impulses of ambition; the
repressed jealousies and longings of this peo-
pie will burst out in widespread and bitter
antagonisms, and the black man will be the
umpire between them. The seductive appeal
of the agrarian and the cry of the communist
will be heard by the courted black man, and
his prejudlces, his passions, his appetites and
his Incidence will be appealed to rath-
er than his reason and his inter
ests. | now fear this surely approaching
trial OF the black man as the sorest that he has
yet grappled with in all his many misfortunes
since his liberation, and apprehend that it
will, at no distant day, demand the searching
consideration of the whole nation, as did uni
versal suffrage in Washington before it was
effaced to cure its intolerable evils.

Cabinet Rumors.
The Story of the Indiana Difficulty.

The following is from the Washington cor
respondent of the New York Tribune and the
Boston Advertiser:
A despatch says that the Congressmen-elect
from Indiana have signed paper requesting
Gen, Garfield to remember Indiana in making
up his cabinet, and that the members of the
State central committee have gone step fur
ther and recommended the Hon. John G.
New. This is very interesting to those who
know the history of the Indiana scramble for
cabinet position under President Hayes since
it shows that the politicians of the State,
profting by their last experience, are starting
earlier on this occasion. President Hayes had
been strongly urged by friends to complete his
cabinet before leaving Columbus for Washing
ton, so as to avoid the persistence of those
pushing for place for their friends. The Pres
ident, however, thought that he could stand
the pressure, and so he left three of the posi-
tions open. When he arrived here three of
the places had been offered and accepted, and
a fourth had been rendered but no answer had
been received. Mr.. Evarts had accepted the
State Department, MIR. Sherman the Treasury
and Mr.. Schurz the Interior. Mr.. Hale of
Maine had been offered the Navy Department,
but declined it upon the Presidents arrival.
Mr. Blaine assuming that the offer to Mr..
Hale was made as a compliment to him, Mr..
Blaine, requested that Mr.. Frye might be Sc
lected, but found that the President had
appointed Mr.. Hale because ne knew him per-
Sonally while he did not know Mr. Frye. Gen.
Harlan of kentucky had received such assur-
ances that he would be Attorney General as
were regarded by him and his friends as abso-
lutte. 1t was found necessary to change this
however, on account of Mr.. Harlan's friendly
relations to Gen. Bristow. Senator Morton was
informed that there would be no appointment
from Indiana, and in long and friendly con-
versation the President gave as a reason that
The Portland daily press., 1881-01-11

honorable one of course, and lost it, and
they would only discredt themselves and
their party by asking the supreme court to
relieve them of the consequences, or other
wise trying to shirk them. The Democrats
are not in an altogether agreeable position
either. Supposing, as their opponents did,
that the amendment would work to the ad-
vantage of the latter, they contended
against its adoption, and up to the day of
election insisted that, if adopted, it could
not take effect on the election of that year.
Now they have changed sides, and there
does not appear to be Democrat in the
State who doubts that Plaisted has perfect
title to the Office under the amendment.
Great weight and force is given to'a const-
tutional argument by the discovery that it
operates in your favor

FREDERICK Won RoDENsTEDT, the Ger
man poet, has been lecturing in the Cursaal
in Wiesbaden about his visit to America.
The American, he said, loves his country,
but his patriotism is not local, his home
feeling does not cleave to the soil. That is
why his house and its adornments do not
express individual taste, and why certain
uniformity prevails in his living, and his
activity and his labor. The advance of
American population may be likened in
general to victorious army moving forward
at quick step, and straining all its powers
and faculties. And America may be GER
tain, when the time arrives, of doing some
thing great in art.
The Portland daily press., 1881-01-11

The Philadelphia American is another pa
per which is giving Maine Republicans good
advice. 1t says they are exposed to temp
tation which it is to be hoped they will be
able to resist, and adds, ''By the rejection
of imperfect ballots and the strict observance
of other technicalities, it would be possible
to overcome Mr.. Plaisted's plurality and
make Mr.. Davis the Governor Another
way of accomplishing the same purpose has
reference to the constitutional amendment
adopted at the September election, making
plurality elect. As is well known in view
of frequent strife over the matter, if no can
didate for Governor received majority of
the whole number of votes cast, the election
was thrown into the Legislature under con-
ditions which made the success Of the mi
nority candidate not only possible but prob
able. The amendment wisely provided
against any such result, and the statute un
der which it was submitted to the people
stipulated that it should be operative in the
action of adoption, the vote thereon being
simultaneous with the choice of the Cover
nor. Because it is a Democrat, Greenback-
er, or whatever he may be called, who re-
ceived the plurality, it is now proposed to
question the constitutionality of the provi-
sion that the amendment should go into eff
feet at once. These devices are unworthy
of a great party and we cannot believe that
the Maine Republicans will give them sane
ton. For similar attempts to pervert the
popular will Mr. Garcelon aud his party only
a year ago received the condemnation of the
whole country. 1t would be disgrace in
effaceable for the Maine Republicans to
pick up and wear the defed and cast-off
garments Of the Fusionists. 1t is bad, of
course, to have Mr.. Plaisted for Governor
although General Hancock considered his
election matter for national rejoicing-but
it would be unspeakably worse to rob him
Of his success, and to make successful Gar
celonism' a part of the common law of poll
| tics in Maine"

THE Worcester Spy believes that if the
Maine Republicans do not seat Gen. Plaisted
without any bubbles they will make great
mistake. AS to the plurality amendment it
says it sis a very pretty question for argu-
ment, and much can be said on each side :;
but the fact is that the amendment was pro-
posed in that shape by the Republicans be-
cause they were confident that they would
