OF A “OHANGE." Atno period in tho history of the country liye tho American people tn the aggregate enjoyed such prosperity as now. ‘he near est approach to a Ike kenuino prosperity was during the year or two preceding tha Ite- belllon, .‘Lhon, In tho very madness or wan- tonnuss of pence, progreya, and uecnmulating Wealth, the people of the South insisted upon a “change. They insisted that tho wholo country was sufiiclently prosperous to cu- able the South te set up a separate and hos- {ilo estublishinent, whose corner-stane should be Slavery. ‘Theso infatuated Dem- ovrats, for the sake of “change,” thought It fo be good palivy to peril all things in the In- banc purpose of haying all the prosperity to thamnselves, Jn the madness of thelr well doing they tried the experiment of change, for tho suke of ‘change, ant — that experiment plunged the country into a protracted civil war, sacrificed a half-million of Ives, caused an oxponditure of six thou- sand millions of doliars by tne National Government, loft an enormous legacy of debt, 9 pension roll of forty miliions of dol- Jars and annually Sncreasing, wearly wiped out our ocean shipping, and for several years reduced the country to a conditlonof bankruptcy. ‘That was the result of the Dowocratic ex- eriment—'a change” In 1800—of the at- jempt to escape the general prosporlty then prevailing, Shall the American people now ropeat the experiment of “a change"? Shall they hand over tha restored and retstablished Re public to those who twenty years ago de manded a change from a sluglo to a double Govern ment? : 5 Never, we repeat, was this or any other Ration so progperous ag the American people Bre at this time, Never wera the productions ot tnpor 6o abundant, so valuable, or 60 profitable, Never was Jabor so yutyersully eutployed or go well compensated. Nover Was every form of mechanical industry so actively engaged und at such ree muneratlve wages. Never were there such = gigantic = productlogs from dhe .® long conversation after a THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE work: pand the furnace; nover such pro- ductions of fron, of metals, and of coal. Never was 80 mich machinery employed, or so many Willions of men engaged tn operat mgit. Never fn the history of this ér any other nation were there wages lists or pay-rolls of lnvor of such magni. tude as now In this country. Nover wero the Inborors of the mines, of tho forests, and of tho farms so abundantly re- warded as at this timo in this country. Nover Was Money so abundant and cheap, and never was tho National currency of gold, of silver, and of paper of sttch eqtial and Intor- changeable value as at this time in thiscoun- try. Never was tho blessing of. free govern- inent so wisely, so fairly, and so equitably distributed and enjoyed as at this time in this country. Aro tho American people prepared to take tho risk that, in changing tho Government and policy which have produced out of all the horrors, disturbances, distress, and bank- tupley of a elvit war the present unexam- pled condition of prosperity, this condition of affairs inay be destroyed or reversed ? Aro we such strangers to financlal suffering that we aro willing to risk a repetition of ib? Is prosperity so abiding that there is no danger of its taking wings? The pantie of 1873 ts but of recent occurrence, and Its con- sequences lasted too Jong, and were too sweeping, to have been forgotten, Is any one prepared by rash experfinents. especially for the mere sake of change, to provoke even a more disnstrouscalamity bya revolution of tho entire policy nnd administration of the Gav- ernment? Ifnchange of the men holding ofiice be deemed advisable, who are the men who are to be Invited to replace those now in? . Is it desirable to recall the men who so- ceded In 1860, who declarod the Union dis- solved, whoerected hostile State Goverments anda hostile Natlonal Government,who levied armies, who warred agalnst the Union and sought Its overthrow, anc who now deny even the Nationality of the Union, and {nsist that {tis but partnorship to be dissolved nt any monient by the officers of the State Gov- ernments? Are the people prepared to give up the present condition of unexampled prosperity to try tho uxperiment of aclinnge which fs almost certain to produce ncommereial, fnan- elal, and industrial derangement, ultimately: leading to a political struggle to end In an- other war ornn abandonment of the Union and tho separation of the States into two or mrore hostile confederacies ? Is the expert went of change worth the perils of such a result? Isthe sacritice of the material and political prosperity of the people worth such a calamity as is involved in all this? eas GRANT'S REVELATIONS ADOUT HANCOOK. When Dr. Fowler's tnterviow with Gen, Grant was first published, the Democratic Newspapers and oracles, consctous of the destructive force the revelation would exert over tho campaign, undertook to discredit its authentletty by abusing and bellttling Dr. Fowler. But Gen. Grant himself, with the purpose of correcting some slight inaccura- eles in the reeltal, has since confirmed every essential fact in tho printed Interview,. The mistakes which Gen. Grant notes in Dr. Fowler's recollections of the conversation are only of a kind that would naturally occur to the best of. memories in writing out lapse of sone time. For fnstanee, the amount of tho levee bonds voted by the Loutsl- ann -Legisintura was $4,000,000, Instead Of $7,000,000 as roporterd! by Dr. Fowler, and the fee to be pall! Reverdy Johnson and other Jawyers for securing the reinatatement of the corrupt Levoe Commissioners whom Sheridan had removerdt was $25,000, instead of “$250,000 ns the types first made {t read, But the aub- stance of the orlginal statement remuina, strengthened by a confirmation from Gen, Grant of Its truth, Indeed, it appears that Gan. Grant intended of his own motion, and RA Rinntter of justice to the American ‘peo- ple, to bring the clroumstances of Hancock's New Orleans appointment before tho public, for he says that he only asked Dr. Fowler to withhold the statement because It had been given toa public speaker (probably Conkling) to verify and complete from the records and to formulate In an effective manner, ‘The substance of this statement Is, that a corrupt ring of Louisiana Democrats had been formed In New Orleans to robthe State; that Gen. Sheridan had exerclsed his power, as head of the Military Departinent by virtue of the power conferred on his office by Con-’ ress, to remove the guilty ofticlals who wero engaged In the scheine of robhery; that An- drew Johnson, Acting President, then re- moved Sherldan fordoing It; that Gen. Grant fully explained to Johnson the motives that governed Sheridan in his course; that, never- theless, Johnson selectea Hancock to send to New Orleans to do his bidding and play Into the lands of the leaves thieves; that Hancock anbsequently endeavored to restora the cot- rupt ring to power; that Gen. Grant, oxorcls- ing an authority which Congress had con- ferred upon him, prohibited Hancock from restoring the robber ring to office; and that, thoreupon, Hancock applied tobo " rolleved' from tho command, giving as a reason that his “ usefulness was destroyed,” All ofthis teport of Dr, Fowlor Gen, Grant doos not, dony, but indeed oxplicitly reafirms, Gen, Grant's statement gives a now slanif- cance to Hancack’s Administration at New Orleans! Jt has been supposed horotofore that Andy Johnson sent Hancock to Now Orleans mercly with the general design to accure a “my polley” facile doughface agent in countoraeting and nullifying the Reconstruction acts, It uow appears that there was not merely a pro-slavery political Purpose Jn the removal of Sheridan and the appointment of the doughface Hancock, but 8 desire to sustain and factiitate a fraudulent and corrupt scheme for plundering the State of Louisiana, If it docs not yet appear in the evidence that Hancock had direct por- sonal knowledge of this schome, it does ap bear that President Johnson was Informed of It; that he seleoted Hancock and senthim to New Orleans to restore tho corruptionista; that Hancock endeavored ta do proolyety what Johnson and the corruptlonists wanted dono; that the triumph of the ring was only defeated by tho personal Interference of Gen, Grant; and that failure to serve John: yon and the ring Induced flancock to ask to bo “relieved.” ‘There {sw logical connection between Gen, Hancock and the New Orleans kcheme of plunder which cannot be obliter- ated nor oxplained away, ‘Tho riug of officeholders whom Shoridan removed had $4,000,000 of State bonds to inanioulate, ‘hoy wore restrained by the Act of the Legislature, which required that the bonds should not be sold at tess than 80 cents on the dollar, They dovised a scheme to evade tho law, and proposed to “hypothe: cate” or spout these bonds at 35 cents on the dollar, They would thus hayo swindled the people of Loulsiqna aut of $1,800,000, racelvs (ng that much less for the bonds than the law authorized, und they would have seoured Possession of $1,400,000 of pubils money sub- Ject to thelr own control and to be expended and ‘divided as they pleased. It was clear robbery, Gen, Sheridan bounced those Dem> ooratic publi thieves bofore they could se cure and dispose of their plunder, For-this he was removed by the traitorous scoundrel thon acting as President, Tho agents of the ring hired a lobby lawyer who was at that thno neurest to ils Acclduncy, and agreed to pay him sn enormous feo If he could secura tho relustatement of theremoved plunderers, : Johnson undertook to bring this about. Ho selected Gen, Hancock to do tho business, and refused to recode when Gon. Grant ox+ plained tho frauct and: protested against lis consummation. Gen, Hancock proceeded in the line of Johnson's desire, which was tho desire of the lobby attorneys of the Now Orleans ring. Gen, Grant then Interfered ofiicially, and sat down on the scheme by for- bidding Hancock to restora the thioves to power, “oven for an hour, which would have given them sufficient timo to spout the bonds and carry out their villainy, It w then that Hancock asked: to be relloved, be- cause his uscfulness—that Is, lils ability to serve the pro-slavory ring in whose inter- est ho wont to New Orleans—was at au ond. Such appear to be thd naked, nnvarnished facts, or, a8 Beecher would call It, the true inwardness, of thls Ifancockinn pleco of business, It fa possibly that a good many honest people who have been booming for the “superb hero’ will revise and correct thotr opinions of the ian, ; THE CENSUS OF THE EARTH FOR 1680, Messrs.

While not as fascinating asa novel, they aro abundant in interest, and: this year more than ordinarily so, because great changes have been made In the areas of countries; and also becnuse their computations go to disprove the old theory that for overy purson Who comes into the world one goes uut, which would keep the population stationary, On the othor hand, tho balancing of the books shows: that the number coming in exceeds those gomg to the Innd where censuses are never taken, and that in nine teen months the population has incrensed 16,778,200. ‘The aggregate populations of the great divisions of the earth are as follows: Europe, 315,020,000; Asta, 834,707,000; Africa, 205,670,000; America, and Polynesin, 4,051,000; Polar Regions, 8,- 000; total, 1,485,025,500. ‘Thu vast density of the population of Asin is shown by the fact that It exceeds the population of the rest of the globe by 313,480,500 according to these figures.
