Six counties were not included. ‘Lhey would have made the mpjority over 00,000, ‘Tue same State gave the Hancack Electors 82,514 majority.

It woula be fy keeping with Gen, Selo- * fleld’s conduct jn this business for him to be the person who furnished a copy of this re port to the press, ynder, the mistaken Im- pression that-it would be dumnging to some- body besides himself, The publication of the * report must yesult jn his rempva} from the command of the Academy, and transfer toa Jess pleasant post of duty, Tire New Orleang’ Piyics desires to know whether the North-will send persons to turn tho rich Jands of tho South into cultl- vated fields.” Tlic’ North will think twlee about It, Tho sone” of the North have becn South since the War, and instead of turning tho “rich Innds” of that sectjon Into “cultivated flelds,” thoy turned their own pockets Inglde out, risked thelr Jives, and in. many instances lust them. . The Northern men who haya been South and returned slice the War can be found in- every town, but no Arkansas traveler fins yet been discovered who brought back with, him more of any- thlag thon he started with,—oxcept ox- perience. : Ea) Senator BAyann is reported In the Phila-. delphia Press as haying sald that thero will bo no attempt to nullify the vote of Now York, and that Garfletd will be inaugurated without opposition, « Mr, Garfield, fn his opinion, isa muti worthy of tho honor ha hag recelyed and will make a good Republje- an President. Mr. Bayard has done hime solf and hs party honor by expressing those wntinents, Mr. Gartleld and the Republic- an party do not need them, but the Dpmo- sratlo party does very ‘much require some indication of its claiin-te ordinary common sonse, It is a notoworthy fact that no man with a political future betore him has In- forscd Barnum’s Insano plan of contesting the election; and the New York World is the ply newspaper that hay countenaneed JL— Foun Kelly's mouthplece no} being a news- paper except in the dictlonary sense, One fenture of the two recounts of popu. Intion In St. Louis has jot been sufilelently hottved, While thoy have noj glyen the city the population which it claiined, they have added from 15,000 to 20,900 to the original re- turns. A large percentage ot these puilitions was unquestionably due te the liberality of the cnuinerators in taking names, and to the {Intense anxiety of the people to swell the totals as much as possible, The St Louls Republican of the 15th shows to what longths this partisanship has gone, and how flexible the consclenca of the- average St Toulsan has become. It prints tha follow- ing statement: rn A largo number of people have left the clty inca June, eatinated by Prof, Woodward ut 3,000, Although full intormuctan upon those paves cannot @ obtubned Hy all cases, It le stHy piportuut that they should bo counted, The Washlnyton census exports object to the inders gon of any pume ‘in the blank returns, whou not complete ja informuuon, but prof. Woad- ward bua tuken a dueljod stand upon this ques Yon, und will buve thei countod jn any event. So tt seems that Prof.” Woodward, who ever he may be, has regolved to supersede the United States Jaws relating to the cape gus, Jf the same extraordinary means that were aijopted |) Bt, Louls had been employed tg |neregey the census in othor elties they would baye been credited with many thous sands mure jnlabjtqnts than they were.’ St. Lauls igs had the advantage yer all other eitles of & double-pressure "count, result. ing in tho alleged discovery of some 20,000 more Inhabitants than sho possessed before. If now this ndditton should give Missouri a fraction of tho ratio of upportionment large enotgh to entite the State to an additional Congressman, 0 manifest wrong would bo done to every other Stato in the Union, Whatever may be the Issne of this ease, It is to be hopeil that there will be no recounts of the population of large eittes In the future, ——- Two xewsrarens In Old Virginia and one fn West Virginia have urged the adoption of a polley of commercial non-intercourse with the North on tho part of the: Solid South. These enterprising journals are the Alex- ahdria (Vn.) Gazette, the Rtehmond (Va) Dispatch, and the Greenbrier (W. Va.) Inde- pendent. The last-menttoned organ of tho ostrich policy declares that It would, if adopted, “ stop nearly every aptindie In the Nort.” It would do nothing of the kind, But if it dtd the South would linve to bear the heaylest part of the suifering and loss that followed. When spindles stop clothes stop, and tho Soild South, barbaric as a few of its misrepresentatlves are, does not yet care to go without clothes, They must be bought at the North, or imported from Eu- rope with n tarlif-duty added, or made in the South, The jast is fmpussible winless cap- {tal can be tempted to visit the South, ns it would tot be by commeretal non-inter= course, We have heard about commercial non-Intereourse before, It was tried, and It did not work, The threat of It did not hava tho tremendous effect that was promised in 1860, and it will not seara anybody now. Ilnpptly for. the reputation of the Southern press, few niembers of it have shown the least disposition to take up or extend this silly ery. Cart, Eans, aceompanted by his wife and daughter and several elvil engineers, salted from New Orleans for Vera Craz Sunday morning Inst. lle will proceed dlrectly to tho City of Mexico, and then to tho Isthmus of Tehuantepec, to survey a route for his proposed shlp-raltway, ‘Tho ‘Tehuantepee routy ig much longer than eliherof the others, Int the grades are easier, and good harbors ean be assured. A ship-ratlway at this polut wonld, Capt. Ends asserts, cut off about 700 milles of the eccan voyage. ‘Ihe concession will be obtained from the Mexican Govern- ment without difficulty, Then Eads will Importunc Congress to gitarantes the cost of the enterprise, on condition that no money shall be pald until the job 1s completed. The plan is speelous and plausible. It will, need close watehing in Con 8. The United States Government has nevor before been asked to appropriate moncy for o pubile work outside of its awn domam. ‘The fnet that Ends’ will not demand his money till the rallway Is done does not serlously affect the question. But there is danget also at this point. It fs the first step that costs. Tho ratlway might be 9 partial or temporary success but 0 practical failur asitis suspected the jetty system may yet prove to be; but Jong before that fact could be cellnitly ascertained, Capt.

Itis now curtain that every pound of sur- plus grain raised In tho United States. tha past senson will finda ready market in Eu- vope, We boljeve it equally cortain that the prices American breadstuits will bring next winter In European markets. will not only be high, but probably higher than at any pre- yious time, In few of the graln-growing districts of Europe has the present crop been such as to furnish an excess aboye the wants of thelr own people, Fow have produced suillclent oven to meet thelr own domestic demunds, and In miany Jarge purchases from abroad will be absolutely required to pre- yent want, or to save thelr peovle from tm- pendbyy famine, We recall no previous year In which European crops, asa wholo, have been more inadequate for tho neeess|- tles of its population, er In which tho pros- pect of good prices for American grain has been more Nattering, In reaching this conelusion, wo lenve out of sight any chances of war now existing, Athostilitles should oceur during the next year, the demand for our graln and the prices we shall rece}y¥e will of course be largely ine creased, and this inerease wijl be In propor- tlon to the extent the wor may assuine, St ig not probable, however, that thore will be hostile disturbances of pny serious magni- tude. ‘Tho chronic troubles of the Balkan Peninsula will no doubt continue, ‘They may cyen bo more serious than usual, but, unger any clrcunstances Hable to happen, thelr influence ju ralsing the prices of grain will be so small Chat ‘it need not be consid. ered, ‘Tho best Information at our disposal, notwithstanding the ¢untlicting opinions wiilel reach us from Enrape, loads us to be- lieve that the Sultan, after hig usual dilatory action, will yJeld to the demunds of the grent Powers, and cede to Greeee tho territory which the Berlin Conference exacted, 1f we are cosrect ln this, the positive prediction may be made that thers will be no war in Enropo during the ensuing twelve months, No other country segjres war, or will, !¢ it ean be avoided, give any pretext for war, We base our opluton as to the future demand for our grain tn Europe, and the prices wo shall realize, solely upon the fact that its crops are Jnsuflclent to meot the imperntiye necessltles of ity own peapte, ‘Tables which jiave been prepared by es- perts of the snternutlonal grain murket of Vienna show that, taking 100 as a number equal to the amount required for home con- sinnptlon, the harvests of the prinelpal grain growlng Buropean countrics fdr the present year may be represented as follows: For Italy, 115; for Rowmunia, 125; for Prussia, the wheat harvest, 100, but rye, the prinelpal eropin the Bultic Provinces, shows a du ciency of 40 per cent below what fs re- [The third and, though prospective, the moro quired. Bavaria and Austria slightly pass 100, France has less than 100, En- gland %, while Russin, heretofore called tho granary of rope, only reaches 9. Ifthe Iinited areas of Italy and Non- mania be considered, It can ensily be under- stovi that their excess of xralu beyond their own wants will go but a small way towards wneeting the demauls of other .countrics, We alone are able to supply what ta reatired, No other country possesses tho grain or ty able to enter into competition with us, Before Russia can agaly beeume our rival she must find soma means to destroy the in- svets whieh ruin her crops, and. which have required a permanent habitatlon in her fields, So far, the efforts she has made to find a remedy for these pests has been with- out suecess. Ilis due to their ravages that Russian crops this year are so “Inadequate, and that the peices of bread in many parts of Russia are even now almost beyond the ree sources of her laboring people. By the latest advices at hand the cost of rye-bread In S! Petersburg has advanced 100 percent. In Moscow and other large eities of the Emptre , the price of this staple necessity is rapidly rising In the same proportion. ‘Mie popula- tion of many of tho most productive prov- inces are now so destitute that the Govern- ment has been forced to take measures to supply seed grain for the next crop, while in soine of these It has atready: expended large sums for feeding the people, The Russian Measnger Ofictet has just published a statement showtig that bad har- vests are to be found throtihout tho entire provinces of Catherlnoslay, Srmara, and Sherson, and that thy same calamity hag oc- curred in the greater portlons of ‘Taurus, Saratof, Shnblrak, 'ehernigof, ‘lombof, Koursk, Penza, and Voltaya, These cover nearly the entlre southern and suutheastern portions of Kussia, ‘They form the birger part of the region which has heretofore sup- plied the grain exported from Odessa. ‘Lhe same. deficlency ‘exists In the Western provinces of Novgorod. Pskot, Smotonsk, and St. Petersburg, ‘The provinces, with some exceptions, In whiclf harvests have been good are thoso producing ortinarlly [ittle more than sufielent for thelr own local cneeds,‘and they haye not this year passed thelr usual average, There is a surplus in Bessarabia, Volllinia, Esthonla, Kief, Kowno, Klelee, Lonza, Radow, and Sledlee, but in most of these provinces thls surplus ts small, and wholly inadequate to meet the necessitles of ‘other .por- tions of the umpire, It has been, recommended» by some Russian author- Iles that tho Government prohibit the ex- portation of -grain during the present. year, ‘This has so far been refused, Whether such prohibition is attempted or not is of minor importance. The fact exists that there Is 0 large defielency in breadstuits In Europe, and that ours Is the only country which can supply It. So longns tho insect pestto which wo have referrettis to by fond In Rnsslashe cannot expect to raise grain in future for ex- port, and ready sale at remunerative prices forthe surplus we may, hereafter produce can bo confidently expeetod. Russia out of the question, the remainder of Envope will bo foreed to buy from us, ‘These fiets are now well reeoguized In Russia, where tho destruction of the insects so rufious to the crops of the country is almost despalred of, It's probably due to. this condition of atfalrs that the concession of a railway from Catherinenberg to ‘Tnmene, in West ern Siberia, was recently signed by the Emperor, and tliat preparations for building: the rond are being rapidly pushed forward. ‘Che project for’ its eon- struction had been urged for years by Rus- sian statesmon, but It had been! repeatedty rejected by the Czar on account of tho con- dition of the finances of the Empire. ‘Tho experience of the pnst agricultural season was necessary to show that the selieme could no longer be postponed, and to induce tho Emperor to ylelt fils assent, notwithstundiag the present depleted state of the Russian ‘Trensury, The road 1s eventually to run the entire length of Slberla, It will untte the valleys of the Volga and Amoor Rivers, and thus open to market one of the largest nn richest wheat-growhig districts of the world, Until the larger part of this rond Is fntshed, and the country through whieh it passes Is fully settled and developed, our good fortune of the Inst and the present years Jn tht sile of all the grain we can produce Will more thin probably be annually repeated. NAVIGATION OF THE I416SISSIPPI. Wo have repeatedly pointed ont the deop Interest which this city has In haylag the navigution of tho Mississippi.

Some months ogo the so-called * Lib- eral League” held a convention in Chicago which terminated ina row, after degenerat- ing luto a defense of the rightto etreulate ob- seene Hterature; and within a day or two an- other association with Natlonal pretensions hus been formed here with the avowed pur- pose of divorelng the State from the Church, ‘The initlal meeting. of the naw Association developed the same capacity for dissension and confilet whieh usually pertains to trans- ecndental reformers, Nevertheless a plat- form was adopted, committees were ap- pointed, and worl: was Infd ont that might bo utilized to better advantage. ‘he American people 1m mass are wotully ignorant of the Impending evil which is so acutely apprehended by the “seeuturizers,” ‘There are no signs anywhero of Church ag- gression that create alarm in the mind of the wayfaring man. Most persons ure able to go to sleep undisturbed by the thought that the next Legislature will probably be opened wlth prayer, or that Congress has a Chaplain who enjoys. little distinetion and less pay for a modicum of service, No vision of Inqulst- torial proceedings disturbs the average American, nor is there any keen apprehen- sion of. clerteal cneronchiments upon clvil Ilberty, It fs not generally belleved that ree Iisious services In penltentiaries are going to do nny injery te the bodies or souls of tho convicts who assist at them merely as a part of the routine i prison life. The army chap- {nin has neyor yet evinced any Inellnatlon to direct the moyetnent of the troops on the bat- Uefiell, nor is there, as n rule, any evidence of a predominating religlous splrit in the legislation of the country. In fuct, one of tho least troubles of common people is that whieh uppears to distress this smiull coteric of reformers the most, ‘Tho following was submitted as a defini- tlon of the meaning and scope of “seculari- zatlon ?s 1. ‘That acta of religious worship onforcod as acts of worship, inoltiding Uible-reading. hull guage in Legislugures, pricons, aud public éelivals patitutions sustalned by tuxauon. ‘That no property shall “bo exempted from taxation, and no. porsongs: from contributing tholr just shure to'tho burdens of tho Stnte, on necount of tholr being used or engaged In'ro- Nglous etfort, .

Many people will agrea that the reading of the Bible ts forelgn to the purpose of the public-school system, and that it might be omitted without detriment to the usefulness of tho schuols, purtly because it has excited some sectlonal protest, but chiefly hecause It Js dono in parrot-fashion and is far beyond the understanding of those who Heten to It, Even this question, however, Is not calculated to harrow up the souls of practical people, and it can be safely trusted to tho decision of local sentiment wherever it Is given the dig- nity of an issue, Thero are econonilo reny fons Why the practice of exempting church propesty from taxation should be abandoned, and a reforin in this respect might be urged to advantuge if It were based upon such grounds andj separated from the other hobbies to which the Liberalists are committed. It ts not to be doubled that much Injustico and some fraud is practiced under the pro- yalling system of exemption, and progress tins been made toward reform In. communitics whera the issuu has bean properly presented, To put it upon an avowed antl-religious basis, however, 18 to court the special and combined opposition of all church denon. natlons, aul fo alienate tho sympathies of inany poysons who would otherwise take an econumle view of the matter, ‘Tho other suggestions of * secularization" are elthor puerile oroffenslye, ‘The extent of religious survices ju tho Legislatures and public institutions is not Ikely to “‘contaml- nate” anypody,—which Is the way te secys Jurlzers would put tho case, ‘The religious elemont In tho judicial oaths which aro ad- ministered could not be abandoned without forfeiting a very dealrable restraint which it exercises over a large proportion of the people, There sra no laws now jn any part'of this country which exclude the eltl- Zen from guy of bis clyit rights or privileges because of “a lack of religloys bellet!* And to withdraw all legal recognition of Sunday ag aday of rest, slaply because it fg Sunday rather thau Monday or Tuesday, would soon Jead ta the elimination of all perlodic respit from work, and that would bo fmtal to the health as well asthe morals of any people, Thore js no feature of the statutory provisions about any of these mat tera which embarrasses the individual opluions or practices of non-conforutists be- yond tho proper subordination of Individual Meensa to the gencral order and well-being of the comitnity. ‘Tho mistake which the aggressive anti- religious people seam to make Is, that thoy give an undue prominence to thelr own theorles of negation, ‘Ihe basis of xovern- ment jn this country is that the majority shall rate. Whits tho majority of our peo- plo are unquestionably opposed to an ale Nance of Church and State in any tangible form, there ean be no reasonable doubt that tho great bulk of the American peo- plo have a genuine respect for retigtous influences, and are uncompromising]y hostile toany movement hich looks to tha destruc- tlon thereof, Reverence for sincere religious devotion ond confidence In the mission of religious socletles as an whole may be sald to be characteristic of the American people, Of those who do not go to church, probably alarge mojfority believa Ut church-golng 1s agood hablt, Not one man among a thou- sandean be found who condemns the inof- fenslye recoguition of religious Iniluences whieh is given by tho lnws of the Nation and the various States, ‘The sectlarizing in- fluences at work among the churches them- selves, which are seeking to substitute moral precept for mere dogina, promoted aud ex- pounded by men like Swing and ‘Thomas, ara doing more to bring intolerance and super- -stitution Into contempt than can bo ac complished by any organized attacks on religion whieh display equal Intolerance, if notso mitch superstition.

It is positively refreshing to encounter any expression of opinion from a Demoeratle source that fs not dictated by obtuse ant selfish partyism. Senator Bayard, of Dela- ware, {g credited with some remarks, in an Interview printed within a day or two, which would indicate that some Ilttle sensu and dis- eretion are possible to « Democrat inulvidu- ally, if not to the party of which he is a membor. In generalizations Senator Bayard Is as partisan as anybody; he thinks that ‘defense of the Constitution" Is tho special nission of the Demoerntic party, and de- elures that the principles of that organiza- tton inny survive “disastrous defeats’; nt the sume thie he fs willing to confess that much has been done in the course of the late campaign by tho party wanagers which he cannot approve. ‘The point may be fatrly made upon Senstor Bayard, perhaps, that he should have talcen occasion to protest aga nt the excesses, abuses, and slanders of tho Democratic campaign management before the people had condemned it at the polls, but perhaps an honest afterthought is as much ng can be reasonably expected from the most Impartial Democrat, The following extract from the interview will show that Mr. Bay- ard was alinost startled at tho provalling tone of the campaign: “Aro we to haven cessatton of political ox- citement during tho coming four years?” “Who ean J thought ‘when tao nominas tong wero made this thine that we would have a quiet canvags, whieh would not greutiy disturb thy country, bit It his been she bitterest ein palgn T over suv, and atter these evidences Lum utat loss to Know what may hot be done fy tho future by politicians who seem to care more for party success or the loaves und tlshes than for tho ‘good of the country, If Grant hid been nominated Tghould haye oxpeeted Just snoh a envi is we have hid, but, with the two can didutes who wero ruling, L must say that Twas pat prepared for any such exhibition of fecl- i ‘ Sail Ra ralie ait ‘ chatlenging te E +f On not By ol ‘Thy any straining of constitutional methods in the decision of a Presidential election. ‘Things aro protijgute enough in New York, but 1 should ag goon think of my voting to confirm any such action if it ehould be taken, as to thinks that any serious attempt woutd he made to interfere with the counting of the vote of New York for Gurficld, ng if tues beon cast. ‘Cho elcetion hits been hold and the yerdict of tho peoplorcenrded, and tho Democratic party will nover tolerate ver again bo any tam ering with the will of the people. Gur- Geld wil be inaugurated without opposition,” Why fs It that, feeling In this way, Mr. Bayard dil not make a public and vigorous protest against the mud-throwlg of Bar- num's Conmilttes? Why did he not de- nounce the Morey forgery, and the partisan use made thereof to injure Gen. Gartield, from the moment the fraud beeane apparent tohim? Why was he stent during the sev- er] days when certain New York yolltielans endeavored to alarm the country by threat- ening to contest the Electoral yote of that State?. ‘Chose omlssions of duty may be for- given, however, lf Senator Bayard shall uso his tnftuence atthe coming session of Con- gress to choke down partisan legislation and to prepare the way for tho naw Administra- tion to bogin its oficial existence in a free und umembarrassed manner, Tle expressed considerable admiration of Gen.
