Grant, was not written by the Texas delegates to the Chicago Convention, nor by any one of them, ‘Tho article is n burlesave, so far as it purports te represent any Republicans In Texns; but many a true word has been spoken in jest, and if the ‘Texas delegates had sought to give expresston to the actual situation of politteal affairs in thelr State and in other Southern States, they coud tot have spoken more truthfutly nor more nertinently than does the artiefe {n question, After describing the pecullar mixture of the Texan popuiation as to race, color, and previous condition of politics, the manifesto proceeds as follows: Wo know, General, that you aro n plain, blunt man, and ‘that you lke plain, blunt dealing. Andit ts but proper that wo shall say to you, plainly and biuntly, that we can do nothing for YOu nt tho ballot-vox, We cut enst the vate of Texns for you in the Convention; and can assist to make you tho nominee of the Republican party.

In 1878 the Democrats elected their Governor by 80,000 majority over the Republicans and Greenbackers combined. What Is true of Texas {s equally true of the othor Southern States. I¢Gen, Grant should carry the Solld South for the Chicago Convention he would tecelye 276 yotes for the nomination froma section which would cast 183 Electoral votes against him. The popular majority against Hayes In tho Southern States (excluding Louisiana, South Carolina, and Florida) was more than 600,000 votes In 1876. ‘The Demo- crate majority in Louisiana last year was 97,- $33, There was no opposition to the Democrats in South Carolina In 1878, Tho political di- vision of Florida is represented In the Legis- Jnture by more than two Democrats for every Republican member. Thero is but one Re- publican among tho thirty-two United States Senators from the Southern States, ad he (Kellogg) holds over from the disputed ‘elec tion of 1876, ‘Thero aro but four Republicans among .the 106 members‘ which the South sends to the National House of Representa- tives, The ense ts hopeless. ftfstrue thot no other Republican candl- date will receive o single Electoral vote from the South; but no Southern votes are claimed for any Republican candidate. except Grant. ‘The latter’s friends are holding out a falso shope for the purpose of Influencing the nom- ‘Ination. Thatis the fact nbout the matter, When young Sr, Douglas promises Southorn Electoral votes for Grint Ina general and utterly reckless fashion, he hag no facts, no probabilities, no hopes to back up tho pre- diction, When sucha promiso Is redchoed by men like Messrs. Logan and Storrs, they must be conscious of tho palpable deception. ‘Where are the Southern yotes to come from? What recent event in tho politics of tho South warrants the promise? As tho gen- tlemen from Texas are reported as saylng to Gen. Grant, the “ Solid South ” may give him the nomination, but it 1s to the “Solid North” that he or any other Republican must Jook for an cloction. If that ty the actualsituation, asallthe facts and Indications imply, then why obscure it? If Republican success actually depends upon the Electoral votes of the North, is {t reasonable to antag- onize any part of tha Northern sentiment through the agency. of an impotent Repub- lean minority in the South ?_ What Is to be gnined by such a course? In tho ordinary affairs of fe, prudent men take a risk only with the hope and prospect of guln, When the third-termers urge the Southern vote as the most potent reason why Gen. Grant should be nominated, they ask the Repub- lean party to risk the disaffection at tho North which will grow ont: of the opposl- tion ton third term without tho smallest prospect of a recompense from any quarter. It is useless to go over again In detail the Joss of the Southern States to the Republican party under the Administration of Gen. Grant, and ata thine when all the patronage and Influence of Government, both National and local, were favorable to the Republicans, It fs sufticlent to say that every Southern Stato pnssed Into the hands of the Democrats while Gen, Grant was at the hend of the Government, except Loulsinnn, South Caro- Jinn, and Florida, and these three were saved to Hnyes by the Stato Returning Boards, which were then in the hands of the Repub- Means, Whether the actlon of these Roturn- ing Boards was honest or dishonest, falr or unfair (a question that {3 still disputed by Domvernts and Republicans), all will agree that it was thelr power which finally gave the Electoral votes to Mayes." ‘The same power remalns, with the lmportant difference that It is now in the hands of the Democrats ag completely ns {t was thon in the hands of the Republicans, The Ropublican party ia fully committed to the verdicts of the State Returning Boards as final, These Boards deelded In fnvor of the Republican candidate in 1870, and they were sustained by the Re- publican party, They will just as surely de- cide in favor of the Democratic candidate in 1880, and the Republicans will be estopped from uny effective protest. Suppose wo admit that Gen, Grant's: candidacy will in- splro the negroes with courags to goto tho polls and yoto, Suppose we admit that the white Repubileans will: take heart, organize, aid endeavor to poll the full strength of their party vote, Suppose wo adinit that Gen, Grant will attract somo following from tho ex-Confederate clement, no matter how preposterous the hypothesly maybe, Sup pose wo adinit that his presenco In the cam- palgn will work some mysterlous revolution among the bulldozers, night-riders, and nigger-kitters. Supposo we admit that tne manipulators of tlasue-Dallota and tha ballot- box stuffers will experlence n sudden and rad {eal change of heart when they know Grant fy running, without Inquiring the reason for this conversion to virtue, Tho fuct re- niolng that the local electlou ofticers Iu every county, town, and preclict will bo Demo- rats, and thut the Stato Returning Boards give, you tho forth” you 2, will do the bidding of: the active Bourbons who aroin possession of the State Govern- ments. The final count of the votes will give A majority to the Democratic Electors In every Southern State, by virtue ot the Re- turning-Bonrd power that has been estab- Ished nnd defended by Republicans, without. regard to the ballots enst or the frauds and. violence which inay bocommitted. “How can Con, Grant avertanel a resulé any more than another Republican candidate? Whnatover the Chicago Convention nay do, it will bu suleldal folly te go into tho cam- paign with any retlanea upon auy portion of the Southorn Hlectoral votes. Ifn politteal event can over be predetermined, then it 18 certain that the Soith will be sollgly Demo- eratic In the approaching sresidential elec: tion, This lias been the conyictlon of tho Republicans for four yenrs, and it {s more strongly sustained by tho facts now than ever before, 2 _——$—— TROUBLE IN ,8T.

Indeed, it louks rather absurd to contrast the onthusiastlo thaa- ries of the nddreases before the Convention with the depressing facta going on round them, but it ig no uso ignoring or evading fucts, Until we enn minago the industries we already have It would be sanguine to count on thoir fiture ex. tension, and the painful truth evidenced by tho fuct 1s that wo are not sucecssful in retaining the Industries that “ulready seek our State and that oxist heronirendy. Tho Vulcan Iron Works havo been closed for more than two years. Its managers found It more profitable to accepta pension from the Iron Association for keoping the establishment ¢losed than to attempt to do business at St. Louls, ‘fhe American Iron Association has lately withdrnwn Its pension, not considering the St. Louis establishment in any way a rival, and the attempt to revive the Industry scems to be x failure. In the meantime the manufacture of tron and steel in Chicago has assumed vast pro- portions. ‘The old works and grounds prov- ing no longer adequate, the Chicago sills linve begun the erection of a new works upon « sito which, of Itself, will equal the Ilmlts. of an ordinary Missourl town.

Thera is an outery, and the commandant summons the wholo body of cadets before him and charges thom on their honor to state whuther they knowanything of theoutrage. Eneh answers on hig honor that ho knows nothing; where- upon the conclusion {s finmediately reached that the unfortunate cadet fa guilty of having bound and mutilated himself! So general is this opinion among ofMeers and ;pupils that the poor wounded wretch is forced to ask for a Court of Ingulry. And when tho Court is convened the country is impressed with the mortifylng consclousness of an effort on tho pnrt of everybody connected with tho investigation to render the sub- ject of It forever infamous. So evidently prejudiced are the officers of the Institution that the Secretary of War fs compelled to senda civilian to the defense of Whittaker; and when, In obedience to tho request of a Cubinet officer and the officer of the Govern. ment, a yenerable and distinguished man ap- pears In tho nillitary court, ho 1s insulted by tho Recorder, and compelled, ag {t were, to fight his way to the aide of his ellont!

StI he could appeal to the oflvers of the {nstitution, his tenchers, Its moral guldes,—the sworn officers and paid servants of the great Government of tho United States. They would redress his Wrongs and punish the eravens who had stolen upon him like thieves and robbers, animated with tho spirit of assasination! But tb dla not require much time to dispel this last Hlusion, ‘Tho farce of receiving tho solemn dental “upon honor” of each endet consumed but little time.

Thestory of poor Whittaker !s 9 fit sequel to the Fool's Errand, by One of the Fools.” The fool fondly believed that the great Government of the Nation could protect him at the South as well ns at the North; he lived to sea that Government scorned, mocked, despised, and practically seized and controlled by the very men who were-whipped and enptured as prisoners at Appomattox, Whittaker never doubted that Ins school of war, established and sustained by tne Government, he would, it not nurtured and petted, atleast be pro- tected from insult and outrage; he has been soctally ostracised by all his fellow-students, treated with scorn, loathing, and contempt by most of them, and with cold elvility only by his teachers, snd finally been niade tho vietin ofa ruffanty assault and ernel mutila- tlon, followed by the: monstrous charge that it was self-inflicted.

Goy. Noyes, of Ghio, who is the United Stutes Minister to France, has beon traveling through the various European and African States on the Mediterranean, and even fur- thor East into Asia. Of course he writes horne to the Government about what he saw and heard, and particularly abont some things which he did not sce and hear, While on tho sea he traveled in n United States vessel of war, and he laments the absence of vessels nfloat bearing the American flag. Ho tells the story about how frequently in former days thot ting was scen in all the ports of Europe, and how infrequently it is now met with in the same ports. The Minister is therefore moved to represent to his Gov- -étnment: that. all‘ that. 4s, necded to re- stora the flag to ita orlginal frequency In forelgn waters is a large subsidy. by Congress to all vesacis: who will carry it. ‘The fact that this letter Is taken from tho files of the State Department and published suggests that if not originally written it Js published in the interest of the subsidy hunt- ers and seekers who throng the lobbies of Congress. Governor or Minister Noyes tallshis Govorn- ment of tho high respect which the peaple of all theso foreign lands have for tho United States; how delighted they would be to pur- chase American productions; how they pre- for and admire the works of American labor and genius; how gratified they would be to welcome American merchantmen in all their ports, and how disngrecable it Is for them to purchase American goods from France and England, and, overwhelmed with this gush- ing evidence of fraternity, the kind Minister writes home that Congress ought to yote all tho subsidies which are necessary to relstab- lish trade with all these admiring nations, Of course Minister Noyes never asked himself why the American flag; borne by American mercliantmen, {s 80 seldom seen In foreign ports, Had hedone soit might have suggested to him to ask why It was so seldom seon on vessels engaged In the for- eign trade in the ports of the United States, Why {s the American fing, on an American vessel engaged in the forelgn trade, elmost fis great a stranger in the port of New York as it fg in the ports of Sicily? The American salling-vessel engaged Inthe forelgn trade has been driven out of existence by the gen- eral adoption of steam, and by the taxation which forblds thelr building: American steamship-construction has been practicntly prohibited by taritf-taxation. “Every country in Europo and {n evory other part of tha world except the United States is at liberty to bny vessels and gall them under its own flag. Thero are many ateamers now on the ocvan owned in whole or in part by Amert- can citizens which, though’ practically American vessels, aro not allowed to carry tho American flag nor be registered as Amer- Jenn ships. We have by our strange and ox- iraordinary adherence to anted{luvinn theo- ties and prejudices prohibited the building and construction of American ships and steamers for the forelgn trade, and prohlb- ited thelr purchase and use as American yes- sels. Under these'cireumstances, the absence of ships bearing the American flagin foretzn ports ought not to havo been surprising to the American Minister, and had he, in his recommendations to his Government, advised the repeal of our restrictive and prohibitory Navigation Inws, preserved only by the United States and Spain, ho would have shown hin. self to bein sympathy with the enllghten- ment of the age. Our good Minlster sooms also to have over- looked something elaa which has on im- portant bearing upon trade with foreign countries, Tho United States cannot expect to carry-on an export trade exclusively, ‘Trade conslatsinan exchange of commodi- tles; when wo sell, we must also’ buy; when ‘wo gell goods we expect to get as much for them ag wo can; when we buy we expect to got the most wecan for our money, Forel«n countries are able to buy of us In the propor tlon that they can sell of thelr own produc- *tiong, Unless “Amorican oxporls can be sold ‘ag cheap In forelgn ports as like commodities from other countrica sre sold there, thon there is no hope of sell- ing our goods in such ports., In \iko man- ner, if the United States lovy guch dutics or faxes upon torelgn productions ad prohibis thetr importation to this country, then we of- for no market forthe productions which other nations alone have to give in exchange for ourown. If by our syetem of Revenue laws We render It fupossible to sell‘our manufact- 1880—TWELVE PAGES, utes In forelgn Ionds in compotition with ike goods obtainable clsewhore, and at the anime time prohibit tho Importation of pro- ductions of other lands, there aught to ba no difficulty, oven toa Minister, fn nnderstand- ing why we have no trade with such coun- tries. Prohibited by tho high cost of prodduc- tion fromoxporting, and prohiblted by thehigh duties from Importing, there is nuthing for us to sell or to buy, and just what business our ships would do, oven if we had them, in such a state of trade.can hardly be under stood. Now if Gov, Noyes hind suggested that all Amerienn duties on articles pro- duced or manufactured by the people In all the Mediterranean States bo reduced ton min- imum, and that the Amerienn tariff goneralty be so reduced that the cost of produving American mantifactures would be so dimin- Sshed that thoy could be sold everywhere cheaper than lika goods of French’ or En- glish make, then thers would be in time Buch an exchange of commaiitics ns would Amount ton “trade; a trade being cs- tablisheil, and the Ameriean peopte al- lowed the privilege enjoyed by nll othor peo- ple, of providing thomselyes with ships and steamers for the foreign trade, then our Min- Isters traycling abroad would not be shocked by the absence of the Aierican flag in for- elgn ports, But this natural-and rational ples to es- tablish a Natlonal trade and exchange of commodities with all parts of the workt is rejected, and the statesinanship of tha day falls back upon plaudits for the “old flag,” and begs an nppropriation to support a trade which the law prnetically prohibits, er Ma, JAmes Crort, well known as a close Toagoncron the physics of our globe, dnd tho author of “Climate and Tne,” enlis attention in Nature to the importance of obtaining a more Accurate knowledge than wo now posress In re+ gnrd to tho temperature of tho Interplanetary Bpace, Tho actual zero of henrt hna been ascor- tulned, by roferenco of the thermal expansion of gases, to be 4} Fahrenbelt dogrees botow the molting point for ice, and tho researches of Herschel and Pouiilot have lod to the conclusion that the temperature of space ts about 222 de- grees above the truozoro,.

Tho question Is really one of great acien- to interest. For inatnuec: it Js known that the North Atlantic Ocean receives from the Guif Stream aboutn quarter 1s much hent na from tho sun, but we do not know bow much this ratses the temperature of the Atlantic, Tho absolute temperature is nbout 617 degrees (66 of the scale), which la derived from three sources— namely: from tho sun, the stars, and tho Gult Stream; tut how much from olther one fs at present aimystcry. Again, the estimate of effect due to change In tho carth's distunco fran the sun with varying eccentricity of the orbit would bo comparatively easy if the temperature of space wero known, ond thia would shed much light upon tho rolation between glacial epochs and hstronomical phenomena.
