Ono of tho most uncompromising of the ‘Washington “ Inst-ditchers ” is Senator War- uacr, of Ponnsylvanin, He was violently opposed to the latest caucus dovice, Ife might roasonably have taken this position if ho had opposed tho now schomo on tho ground that it is a potty pioco of busincas, unworthy of ony great party ambitions to control the destinios of a nation, and aimod at tho subversion of law, But this was not tho reason for his opposition. Ho wanted tho Domocratio caucus to mako a final stand upon - the closing of the Courts 8 a means for coercing Exocutive assont to a ropoal of tho Election laws, Ho is roported a8 hoving stated in caucus that it had boon mutunlly agreod, ot tho boginning of tho struggle, that tho Northorn men should help the Southern mon to. seoure the reponl of tho jurors’ test-onth, and that the Southern mon in return wore to help the Northorn men secura tho repeal of the Election Inws. If this is n correct statomont of tho caso, thon the responsibility for the ravolutionary sohemo aimed at ‘tho prostitution of the ballot-box rests upon tho Northern Domo- crate. This is arevalation of interest and im- portancy to honest men in the North who hhave been noting and voting with the Demo- erntic party. ‘What Nortlorn constituency, ouisido of tho roughs, plug-uglics, and bired ropeators, isin favor of abandoning all Notional ro- straint over Congrossioual olectlone? Is Senator Waxzacy fairly representing tho Domoeracy of Pennsylvania in insisting upon tho repeal of the National Election laws, in order to furnish a freo opportunity for fraud? Aro the other Democratic politicians from tho North roflocting the sontimonts or carrying out tho wishes of their coustituonts by sympathizing with tho offorts of Soiator Wantacr? Is it a char. acteristic of the Domocratio party to seok to accomplish by fraud and violouce what it is feared cannot be accomplished by an honost ‘cffort? [tas important that oll this shonld bo definitely nodorstood, for wo believe that there aro thousands upon thonsands of alti. zons throughout the North who have yotod with the Domoeratic party during the last fow yenrs, on account of some digsalisfac- tion with the Ropublican party or in the hopo of achiovlng cortain promiaod roforma, who would not vote with that or any other party that was in favor of froo and unre. strained frands upon tho ballot-bor. If Senator Waxnaoz .told the truth in caucna when he said that the enforced ropoal or nul- lifleation of the Elcotion Inws was primarily 8 Northern suggestion, and that it has been insisted upon as a Northora Democratic moasure, then his rovelation onght to be a warning to all cousorvative and right-mindod. mon who have been inclined to voto with the Domocrats on national issues, If the schemo for tho destruction of tho National Elcotion lawa was suggested by tho Northorn politicians, and to tho oxtont that Democrats, it is dosigned to afford an oppor tunity for frauds in cortain large oltios in tha North which would probably overcomo tho honest Republican majority in cortain States. Tho carrying of New York State for tho Domoernts by means of tho repeating and ballot-box stufllug, which would be possible in Now York City in tho absonco of National supervision at the ucxt Prosidential clection, da the chief conalderation of this Northern Domocratio support of tho proposition to romoye all National rostraint over Nationul elections, If tho suggostion eamo from Mr, Tirumax, a3 ig gouorally conceded to bo the caso, it was because Mr, 'Tubmran and his friends Loliave {¢ will bo impossible for any Domocratic candidate for the Pres- idency to honcutly carry cuough torritory in tho North to soouro his clection, "Tho sup- port which Senator Waznace, as a Northern man, {s giving to the schome is founded upon a like selfiah purposo as to tho oloction of 1880 in Pennsylvania, when n Logislatura ig to bo chosen that will namo a succossor to Mr. Wanace, whose prosont tarm expires ag a now Prosidont goos in, So the advocacy of this infamous scheme by ovory Northern, Demoorat has boon based upon the belief that nothing short of unrostrained fraud will noble the Domocratio party to secure votes enough in the North to enable them to seiza tho Governmont in 3881, It may be that Senator Watzace's caucus statomont was intended to divest tho nullit- cation schomo of some of ita ‘unpopularity by crooting tho impression that tho Southern Politicians wero not making so much effort as tho Northorn Democrats to carry i¢ out; but nobody is slinplo onough to belive any- thing of thiskind, Of course the Southern Democrats do need the ropoal of the Eloution laws for their own local benofit, becauso thoy have alreudy demonstrated that thoy can carry elections by fraud and violonoo in wpite of.Government supervision and tho rostrios “tious of tho United Btatos laws, Bat they ave as lively an intercst in tho schome a4 ba Northorn politicluns, because they be. jvo it to ba essential to sécuring the num.

For yonra past tho proud city at the Golden Gate has boon tha metropolis of that vast oxtont of territory donominatod, withont special rogard to geographical limite, tho Paciflo Slope. ‘The States of California, Nevada, and Oregon, the Provinco of British Columbia, nnd the Torrilories of Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Washington, and, to a cortain extont also, Montana, have boon tributary to the bay-windowed city. Itwas thoro that they bought their morchandiso, thither that thoy sont their products, whothor of an agri- cultural or mineral obaractor, and. atrango as it may soom, Utah whoat, and oggs, and po- ‘tatoes have been rogulnrly shipped to San Francisco rather than to Enstorn points, Of course, San Francisco boing tho point of con- centration for tho moneyed intorests of the coast, being also the contro of tho gront stock-gambling oporationa of tho “slope,” and possessing ample facilities for recetving goods by noa as well as by land, the country formors, minors, speculators, and merchants would naturally rogard it ns tho focusing poiut for thelr varions intorests. This fool ing was fostered by tho Oontral Pacific Railroad Company deorooing that morchau- diso for oll points along thoir lina of route, with tho exception of Sncramohto, should first be earried to Son Francisco and thonco tosbippad to the address of tho consignco at tho lattor’s exponsop Naturally this favor- itism towards San Francisco, while accom. Plishing its object for this time baing, created no slight foelings of discontont among those forced to submit to the burdona imposed on them thereby. San Francisco merchants, recognizing tho lover that had been placed in their hands, are roputed to have used their power.to its fullest oxtont, nud, instond of that closa figuring common among Esstern businoss men, aro reported to have grasped ofter onormous profits and usurious rates of interest, So long ns tho porlod of inflation Inatad, thia was tolorated; but, whon buaincsa depression and hard times at longth reachod tho Pacific Const, bitter murmuring was heard, and, as timos grow worso, tho feoling incronsed to ono of doep hatred against San Francisco, its merchants, its institutions of credit, and tho railrond companies thera located. ‘To this fs attributable inuch of the success of tho Kxanner movomont in Culi- fornia, the majority in favor of calling tho Constitutional Conyeution Inst year, and finaly tho adoption of the new Constitution on tho 7th of May. ‘As that Constitution Inhibits tho railrosd companies from dis criminating betweon one shipper and another, or one point nnd anothor, it mny be presumed that freight for way stations will, after the ist of January next, congo to. make tho journey to San Francisco and back oro renching tho hands of consignecs,. ‘That in itself will act antagonistically to the contralizing influences of “the Bay.” But, furthor, tho march of rnilrond enterprise from the East has fos- tered tho dosira among thoso hithorto tribu- tary to San Francisco to froo themselves from hor thralldom, : ' Take, for instance, Arizona, into which’ ‘Territory tho Southern Pacific Rnilrond has now ponotrated 182 miles, Casa Grande, tho presont terminus, boing only sixty-six milow northwost of Tucson, Notwithstanding this circumstance, so grant is tho dislike of tho Tucson merchants to San Francisco whole- salo houses, and so bittor are thoy against tho classified tariff of the Pacific Railroad, that thoy profer letting their frolght come direct from tho East over tho Atehwon % Bauta Fo Road to Las Vegas, from which railroad torminus tho passungor-utagos . take sovon days, and frolght tenms as inany waeks, to roach Tucson. ‘Theso merchants maintain that, scouring as thoy do athrough freight rato of seven conta por pound from Now York, and six and throe-quartor conts from Ohicago to Tucson, thoy can do botter shipping directly from the East than if thoy passed under tha yoko of San Francisco in- tormediarics, and honco tho visitor to that town may #00, for instanco, car-londs of stoves shippod straight from Rochostor, and dry goods dircct from Boston manufactnrora. At Proscott, which is about 150 miles north of tha Southern Puolflo Railroad, the amer- chant are doing all in their power to on- courage Jax Gounp to build his Utah South. orn Railrond straight through into Arizona; and, turning to Washington Territory, tha inbobitauta of that rich - agricultural section are oqually solicitous that ho should continue tho Utah Northorn ne through Idaho into Washington and Eastern Oregon, ‘That thelr exortions in thia direction have not boon without ayail is proved by tho fact of the Jay Gousp party having just acqulrod control of the various milroads in Orugon, as wall ns a prodominat- ing intluonco in tha Oregon Steam Naviga- tion Company, It1s intondod that tho rail. road, aftcr traversing tho fertile Patouso country, should tap the Columbia River at Umatilla, and this, together with tho pro- jected Nuno from Beattle to Walla Walln, would malo Eastorn Oregon and Washington Territory entiroly indepondent of Sau Fran. cisco, while Woestorn ragon, in order to matutain somothing of the supremney of Portland, would bo compolled to agitate for tho complotion of tho Oulifornia & Orogon Railroad, Another ronson for the doolino of San Franclsco's powor ia the interest now taken in Now York in California, Nevads, and even, Arizona mining stocks, Persons living in the vicinity of the mincs, and directly or in- directly intorostod in thoir success, tind that they ore no longor to guything like tho same oxtent as formorly at the marvy of the Pine atreat manipulators, Ifthe Now York pub- lio ix antisflod n stock is good, it matntains its valuo ou Wall stroct, regardless of tho paw. ings of 'I'risco boars, Hence persons in tho mining -regiona ‘are Rradually looking with canfidenco to tho East to protect the value of their proporty, aud many such Proportics pro at onco incorporated under tho laws of New York rathor than uudor thogo of California, Ps ‘Cho provisions of the new California Gon- stitution, which: affect vory wolorially tho taxation of miuing corporations, aro likely to Jead to mavy moro companics taking thiy samo wtop, and thus it mny easily happon that, in a yoar or two from now, Now York way by the headquarters of moro inining companies than Bin Francisco, ‘Thus the people of the States and 'Torritorica wo havo named are being gradually drawn more aud mora away from the city at the Goldon Gate. and the denression thora jn oll branches ‘ F nea ate af buainess fn readily oxplnined, It now re- | the mon who lufd down thole arma nt Riel niains for the peaplo of Chiengo to take nd. yaulago of this stnte of things, and take measures to secure n good alicp of tho bual- nons of stich Torritorles as Idaho, Arizona, New Moxico, aud Utah.

ANCES, ‘The Domocrata in 1874 olooted a largo ma- Jority of tho mombors of the House of Rop- sentatives in Congroas, owing to the disgust of ‘the people concorning the back-pay aud other blundors and wenknossos of the Ro- publican majority, ond bocauso of the Ioud protestations that the Democrats would inake such reforms and changos in the logis- lation of Congross 8 wore soriously noeded, ‘The Democrats entered office in Decembor, 1876, but’ during tho two years ending in March, 1877, nover iuougurated any moasuro of reform, ‘Tho party confiuod its offorts to wenken the Government, In'1876 tho Dom- ocrats, by the nid of the Solid South, again elooted a majority of Represontatives, which bedy devoted the two years of official ex- istenco to doing nothing of a genoral or no- tional charactor beyond such acts as woro in- tended to renter tho solidity of the South more solid, Its oxcuso and apology was, that, tho South being Republican, the Demoofatic Houso was unable to accomplish anything. ‘Tho-rosult of tho olections of 1878 was to placo the Democrats in a mojor- ity in both Housos of Congress after tha 4th of March, 1879, and it was bocnuso of this known fact that the Democrats forced an extra session after that date, On tho 18th of March Congrnss mot, with a Democratic majority in the Sonate and Houso, and hor, ‘on tho 28th of June, nearly four months Inter, Congrers {x still in sos. alon, What hos,tho Domocratio party dono or attempted to do in all theso months sinco it “capturod the Ospitol”? With a clear majority in both Houses, with the completo control of the wholo ‘machinery of logis- Hon, what has it dono? Tho Democrats for ton yonra havo boon promising re- Hof “to tho oountry by na modifen- tion of the notorious and vonfessodly most oppressive tariff that was over imposed upon and ondured by a freo pooplo, At last tho Domocrata wera in power; had control of all legislation ; could force any bill through ; bat what did it do with tho tariff? Tho so-called Commitice of Safety, or moro Properly speak. ing the ‘‘ Jacobin Club,” refused to have that subject touched, From all parts of the land Oongross was potitioned by a suffering poo plo to romove tho infamous punishmont on human suffering by repealing tho tax on qui- nino, bnt the Democratio party, in its boasted anpromacy and power, with full knowledge that tho President woutd gladly approve auch a moroiful measure, rofused even to consider the bil. That would havo beon a recognition of tho nationality of the Govern. mont, and natfonality was tho Inst thing tho Domocratle party was disposed to recognize, ‘Cho provious Congress had only partially romonatized silver, and tho Demo- critts declared that thoy only waited for 5 juajonty in both Houses in ordor to complete that logislation, But for ovor 100 days the Democratic House and tho Democratio Son- ato havo toiled industriously to establial. the right of States to nullify the laws and to sc. cdo from the Union, but had not the powor ortho purvosa to rostoro tho right of the poople to have thelr silyor colnod at tho mint, During tho yenrs of reconstruction Gon- reas had found it necossary to proteat tha people against fraud ond yiotenco in the olections of mombors of tho National Houso of Ropresontatives, aud this thoy did by inaking provision for tho appointment, by the-dourts, of porsons to suporvise the aluc- tions ond tho returns of the elections of mombors of Congress, Undor this law the facilities for dishounst voting, the violent exclusion of honest votora from tho polls, and of fabricated and forged roturns of tho elections wore roducod, aud the voters wore secnrud komo protection at the polls and in having the actual voting honoutly returned, ‘Tho return of tho Damocratic party to power dn both brauches of Congress, nnd the “ capt. ure of Washington" by tho Confederate Drigadiors, was oslebrated by the Demo. eratlo party in forcing an oxtra soysion of four months’ duration davoted to tho ropoal +of that lew providing for honest elections, Tho emancipated onergiea of the Doinoorntic party, tho hopos and aspirations of oightcon years of oxelusion from oflea and of power, the “claims” of a halt. score of aspirants for tho Prosidency, tho hates and revongos of a long ond bailed re- bollion and civil war, tho momories of a long. chorishod slavery remorsolessly oxtirpated by the Union bayousts,—all theua ware concen- trated in this momont of rostoration to powor to tho solo purpose of abolishing at Appomattox, dosplto thoir windy protents and, their Fohemnopt novor-glye-ups! havo ogain Inia down tholr.arms, havo again sur. ronderod nnoonditionally, and have again gono home to bo reconstructed undor tho ohastoning powor, the liboral spirit, but dee termined rulo, of the Amoricah pooplo, who domand hotiost elections, nud who aro pre- Parod to matutain the Nation by tho oxorolse of all nocessary National authority. SOUTHERN SCHOOLBOOKS, The acknowlddged teat of 4 good text. book is that it shall furnish youth with com. prehensive information a4 to the subject which it treats, and that it’ shall reprosont tho beat idens and Intest discovorton of those who aro reooguizad ag exporta iu tha knowl. edge of that subject, without roforence to any particular locality or tho viows of any Porson or ligne, In ono of his rocent speeches, Sonator Braty# charged that tha schoolbooks {n the South did not answer such 9 purpose, but that thoy wore com. pilod with the view of glorifying ono soc. tion of tho country and villifying tho othor, and thorefora instilling into tho minds of tho Southorn youth s hatrod of thoir Goy- ernmont and thotr country, Tho Southern Brigadlera furiously donounced Sunator Bran for moking this charge, and donied ita truth, claiming that no such book had over boon published. In tho Inst iusno of Harper's Weekly, Br. Cuntrs, its editor, has dono good sorvico by confirming SonatorBratz's charge, and gly- ing a sketch of a text-book now used in’ tho Southern schools called “Tho Southern Stndent’s Handbook of Selootions for Toni. ing and Oratory." Tho indox of this book givos tho names of the outhors and tho States whore thoy reside. They aro all Southorn anthors, rosiding in Southern States. Nota Northorn man or Northern Stato can bo found in this list, and not ovon a Southern orator who has over mado uso of his eloquence to defend his Governmont. Of tho long list of Southern orators, senreely ouo is known outside tho limita %of his Stato. In a handbook of oratory ono would naturally oxpoct to find oxtrasts from tho notable spocohes of famous Amor- fcans like Winsren, Apass, aud Evenerr, which havo passed into tho litorature of tho cotutry and become standard. Not even Henny Guay, a Southerner, is roprosonted in this collection, He was too patriotic. Ho hnd spoken too frequently and oloquontly in dofonso of his Government and his flog, Tho Sonthorn Brigadiors in Congress and tho Southern stump-spenkers and ire-enting editors who have over and over again spokon and written thoir hatrod of tho Union aro plentifully reprosonted. Thero might boa shadow of apology for such a book if the themos treated by these sponkers wero of a goncral charactor; but uvon these are South. ero dn their nature, ‘intended to nrouso Southern emotions and kindle ‘Southern hatred against the Union. Ono soloction froma specch by Wurraast Parston Jony- son will fairly illustrate tho character.of tho entire buok.
