Not so, however, the rising generation, It has been well remarked that ‘the wrongs inflicted on aman are more keenly feltby his children than by himself, and more bitterly resented.” The young men of the South are bitterly hostile to the republican party. Every victory won by that organization is looked upon as an additional affront to their people—as an additional wrong to be remembered, Hence it 18 | that they are gradually abandoning the cunuous and conservative policy of their elders for a wu radical and impetuous course. _ RADICALISM BEGETTING RADICALISM, It1s acommon expression in the South that it 18 time for the young men to take control; and it 1s certain that they are rapidly taking control of attairs, A large majority of the members of the several Legislatures of the Southern States not in the power of the carpet-baggers and scalawags are them increases daily, his fact, supporting as It does the general sentiment of a very extensive cor- respondence, influences me to predict a revolution ous letter 4 wrote you that the Southern people were Fooratag Ured of the democracy, while abat- ng nothing of their hostility for the republicans. This disposition to revolt will be more apparent after the Presidential election. When it once shows itself there will inevitably be a split in the ranks of the Southern whites, Such men as Alex- ander H. Stephens will be the leaders of the “Old Guard,” while the young men will choose their own Jeaders and adopt an aggressive platform, in plain English, the continued supremacy of what is kaown as the radical party at the North will resuit in the formation of an opposing radical party at the South. A LITLE OLD LINE WHIGGISM, While the incubation of this organization 18 tak- ing place a powerlul effort is making to bring | @bout the formation of a new party, to be com- pes out of the negroes and white repub- cans of the South, with such old line whigs a8 may oe seduced into the movement. A few weeks ago Ben Hill delivered a speech in this city, in which he hinted pretty plainly at the necessity for a reorganization of parties, Immedi- ately aiter a proposition was made for celebrating the auniversary of Henry Clay's birthday, which ‘Was agreed Lo, and it is believed that at this festive gathering ap attempt will be made in the direction Indicated, Ben Hull, itis wue, denied that he had any destre to become the father of a new party, and also declared that the country was not virtuons enough for a revival of the whig party. Mr, Hill, however, 18 & man upon whose political deciara- tions nobody can place Impueit reliance, and he 13 believed to be the head and frent of the reported movement, THE GEORGIA REPUBLICANS DISBANDING. Last autumn 1 wrote you that this theory was in contemplation, whereupon the Savannah Repubil- canand Atlanta Constitution were pleased to indulge in some very uncourteous remarks. 1. doubt, how- ever, if even these papers will deny that whatI Wrote then was the trata. In this State the suspen- sion of the Atlanta New Era may be said to mark tue formal disbandment of the republican party of Georgia. Ilearn upon good authority that the prin- cipal leaders are preparing to reorganize tn benalf of the labor reform ticket. The New ra wiil prova- bly be revived as the organ of Davis and Parker, and [ should not be surprised i the Heury Clay celevrants go over, “orse, foot and dragoons,” to them. At first glapce you wil! doubtless decide that politics here must be in a decidedly chaotic condition, And so they are, ‘The republicans are demoralized, and the left-handed iriends among the Fenians, who, ‘with Jonn Mitchel at their head, will endeavor to make music for nim.” The Tennessee democracy are preparing for their primary conventions for the purpose of choosing | delegates to the Staie Convention, to be hela in Nashville on Uy of May, The Chattanooga Heraid-administration—de- ‘clares that “the chairman of the National Deme- cratic Committee, together with his bondholding Mienas, wili hurrah for the democratic nominees, whoever they may be, but take good care to vote for Grant.” Cau this be true? General E. N, Bates, of Springfield, is named by the Du Quoin (IIL) 7rivwne asa candidate for the Fepublican nomination tor Governor. General Longstreet pronounces in favor of the ree ‘lection of Grant—“all things considered.” The Carroliton (Mo.) Record—administration— gives as the opinion of the shrewdest repubitcans throughout the Siate tat its verdict for the Grant Presidential ticket will be emphatic and over- ‘wheiming. Relerring to tne liberal republican movement, the St. Louls Repuhlican—passive democrat—says It is “he habit of revolutions to start on a simple }asis, nd complete temseives by gathering aux- Miary ideas as tney go forward” It will require, we fear, a compound of many such “simples” as this liveral republican movement to constitute a medicine suifciently powerful to purse ‘the body politic of its manifold corrupuions. Genera) Allan Rutherford is said to be the first choice of the republicans of the Wilmington (N. C.) adistrict for Congress, General Morton C. Hunter, who was President of the late Republican Convention in Indiana, is a can- didate for Congress from the Sixth district im that State. The Memphis Avalanche—passive democrat— ‘thinks the democratic party cannot elect a demo- cratic Presidential ticket. Hence it advocates coali- tion with the liberal republicans. The Mobile Register—anu-passive democrat— ‘answers for itself and for the whole democracy of Ms section that, “unless the proprictics of the situ- wation are practically regarded by its many, and, apparently, differing, cooks, the Cincinnati cake ‘will prove very touch dough indeed. The Memphis Appeal—anti-passive democrat—is opposed to coalition, but says, “should the Pendle. tons, Seymours, Blairs, Brooksea, Voorheeses, Hen- @rickses, Hof'mans, Thurmans, Casseriys, Blacks and thousands of other good men and true at the North deem it expedient to strike hands with the labor Feformers and liveral republicans we shall follow their lead.” A strike like this 1s likely to be a very “long strike.” The victory in vbe Granite State was regarded as great one for the republicans; but that in the Nutmeg State is considered a grater, ‘The regular republicans have swept Evansville, Ind., over the liberals, We wish they woulda do the same to the streets of New York. ‘The democrats are picking up considerably in the charter elections in the West. The St. Louis Aepublican (passive democrat), thinks it “Is scarcely possible to over-estimate tie importance and value of the address of the New York itberal republicans, Taking ecley’s old ‘white coat and dilypidated hat as a standard valu- Mion, the vaine of that address really cannot be over-estimated, The South Carolina colored republicans tn con- vention demand that a colored man must be put in ‘the Cav by the republicans, Sambo continues %o joom up. The Mobile Register (straight democrat) says the “democratic party needs to have its eyes opened,’ It has been ina sort of blind-pup condition for a Jong time past. It is able to growl, but not compe @ent to sce What it Is growling about.

AN EMPIRE PREDICTED, « An impression which has prevailed for some months is deepening, to the effect that the establish- ment of an empire in the United States is now only a@matter of me, Absurd as this opinion may ap- ‘bear itis seriously held by mang o¥ the ablest meu ‘gn the South. Of course, in all there arguinents to nat effect Grant 1s the prospective Cwsar. His reer is pointed to as evidencing nig ambition to be something more tuan the ruler of a few years, and the beiet is general that if re-clected next November be wi become # permanent ,fixture 1p ihe White House, ‘That he will be re-elected very Wew persons doubt. In fact, If the Southerm people ; all interest in politics. democrats are walting, In a state of stupefaction, for something to turn up. SOUTHERN FEELING TOWARD JUDGE DAVIS, Some of the newspapers rate Mr, Beimont for not catling the Penocratic National Committee together, Since the democratic defeat m New Hampshire tne beef has become general that the democracy wilt abstain from nominating candidates, but will en dorse either those of the labor reformers or of the | Cincinnati Convention, Upon the principle that “half a loaf is better than no bread” the Southern people will doubtless acquiesce, but not without boreny | some terribly wry faces. The fact tat sudge Davis is a believer in the doctrine of State sovereignty las gained him many friends here; stil the platiorm of those who uormiated him 1s not altogether acceptable to the Soutnern people, THE NEGROES DROPPING POLITICS. It is worthy of remark that the negroes are losing Not long ago the radical State Senator ol tue Tenth district of Georgia re- signed, aud although the negroes are some four thousand in the majority in the district no repubit- can candidate was run at the election following for a successor. ‘Two democrats competed for the posi- tion, and the regular candidate, Colonel Carey W. Styles, a journaiist, was chosen by a large majority. This indifference on the part of the negroes is due to their having discovered that they profit novning by voting. Iu addition, they wul not pay their poll tax, and, under democratic rule, they will not be permitted to vote until the tax is patd. Some of the more influential negroes, who nave hitnerto been uctive in behalf of the republicans, are now advising tueir colored brethren to give up poliica altogether aad keep on trieadly terms witn their old masters, Should this feeling spread throughout the Sout (and I am sure tt will) it will not be long | before the negroes Will cease utterly to be an ele- ment cither of political strength or of political danger.

Ii Great Briain’ a storage equal to; 140 days’ entire demand has been kaown Iailin avery dry season. Taking 180 days’ ex- cess of tne daily demand over the jeast aaily supply for the wecessary storage capacity, we should have, applying the rule of the Croton Aqueduct, 10, 440,000,000 gallons as the requisite reservoir capa- city to Keep up the preseat supply to tue city, or more than six times tue actual. Now, In the catchmeut basin of the Croton there are a number of lakes, aggregating some 2,149 acres in area, trom which the Croton authorities were au- thorized to draw in case of emergency, under the Act Ol 1871, Which It is OW proposed Lo repeal. By, drawing three leet trom the suriace of these lakes an addition of — about — 2,193,994,687 gallons, New York standard, would be made to the storage supply, and each aaditional — foot would give in proportion, though it. is only imtended to draw as the — city’s exigencies require, ‘he act authorizing tms addi- tional supply Was passed aver a season when the city’s escape irom a water famine was simply provi- dential, the entire avaliable storage supply having been exhausied, and twice since the passage of tals act has it been necessary 10 use the waiter stored In these lakes to meet tue city’s demands, Now, all the indications point to an unusually low condition of water tuis season, one lower than tor many years previous, and that, consequently, the necessity for retaining the rigit to araw irom the lakes 13 greater than ever velore. The rainfall on the Croton drainage area for the first two months of this year 15 reported less than one-third that Jor the corresponding two months in the years When the water irom the lakes was indispensaple to the city, and the natural springs and subterra- nean reservoirs below irost are lower now than they have been for years.

Notice to Mnriners. NOTICE—SOUTH PACIFIO MALDEN AND STARBUCK ISLANDS. ‘These islands were visited in 1870, by Lieutenant Chanvi- mere, of the French transport Somme, and he describes them as follows Malden Island is of irregular ontline, 10 mi'es, lon; east and west direction; the east side, between the SE points, is. trom § to 9 miles long, while the w (nearly parallel with the east) fs only 136 miles long. flat anid iow, the highest part not exceedin 82 feet above the sea, with here and there a few tufts of vegetation. Coming trom the eastward, we could scarcely make {t out at a greater distance than 7 miles, thongh the maate of the ships at anchor were visible some time pre- viously. The reefs off the NE and SE ends appear, when viewed from distance, to stretch seaward from one to two miles, but such {# not'the case; being the windward side the sex breaks {urther ont than'to leeward; still the NE is the most dangerous point, Landing on the eaat side is rarely poasibie, owing to the heavy sea. ‘The west side is quite enfe, and the reefs off the NW and SW ends only extend to the distance of a few cables. The guano company bave laid down moorings and buoys, and run ont stages as far as possible, 80 as to give every facility tn the loading of guano. We moored 100 yaras from. the shore, the depth there being upward of 70 fathoms, bot- tom of white coral. ‘There is no fresh water; no coanuts; and but a scanty veg- etation.

The north and northwest sides are the only practicable parts for landing, It had been visited for guano, then abandoned, but subsequently revisited by the company working Malden Island. Near the northwest point, quite close to the shore, the depth is 15 fathoms, and 85 yards further ‘out the descent’ is from "15 to. 130 fathoms and upward; off the northwest aide the depth in 60 tathoms close to the shore, and deeper atili off the north side, Anchorage off the south wice is wholly impracticable, Landing 1s dangero on any part, and should on'y be attempted off the west and northwest poiuts, where there 18 @ passage through the reefs.

Currents,—The approach to these low islanas, cially from the eastward, must be made with’ great caution, owing, to much of ‘the shore being, awaah, and to’ the prolongation of the reefs in that direction. The current {s also very strong: between Maiden ani Star. buck it) ran to the westward 88 miles {n 94 hours, and in the vicinity of the latter island it has been estimated to run 43, 51, and even 56 miles to WSW in 24 boura.
