At the meeting held on Thanksgiving day at South Salem this principle was ably argued by letters of Senator | Benjamin Wade and Mrs. Maria Child, and speeches of Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Suean B, Authony. That Rebel lawleseness is by no means extinet in Missouri is demonstrated again in Platte City, where bushwhacking has literally taken the place of justice.

The Prosident will be more shyewd, wo hope, then to gamblo in Mexican slock, aud win, in bebalf of a foreign sharper, and out of the pockets of this people, all that ho had staked on our own destruction and lost in our trinmph. The allempt to lay & railrosd track in Pearl-st., contrary o all right, and to the obstruction of public tfavel, has been defeated by the action of tho police. Dut is tho mattor to end here?

THE DESTITUTION OF THE SOUTIL “Phe war alono is not sufficiont reason for tho ruin of Southern industry; the sudden substitution of free labor for Slavery does not explain it whally. Theso aro, unquestionably, causes of widely-extonded de- pression, but the inactivity of tho Southern peoplo Las a doepor root. In every State thero is groal suffering, cspecially in the countey districte. In Alabuma, the discontinu- ance of Government rations, ordered to lako effoct Soptember 30, was considered a proclamation of star- vation, and, at the eamest appeal of Gov. Patton, was rescinded, Gen, Swagne was authorized Lo pur- chaso supplies for distribution, to the value of §120,- 000, in three mouthe. The Commissioner for the Destituto gave it as bis opinion that Alabama his year has not raised half onough grain to food the poople of the State. In Georgia, Missiasippi, Florida and Louisinna, the crops have equally failed, and the destitution i probably greater than in Ala- bama. Ggv. Orr's messago ehows thal Soutb Carolina Lias not been mor: fortunate than the other Statos: the wholé South is threatenod with a Winter of famine, and thousands of persone, black and white, famish in this land of plenty, **Never," says Gov. O, in the history of the State, has a Legislature assembled undor less favorable anspices to provide for the wan! of an mpoverighed and disheartened constituoncy.” He tells us the grain crop is slarmingly small, the population is cmigrativg in search of bread, and the most important portion of his message is that which urgos the Legislature to form some plan for feeding the hungry people. Fven the colton crop of the South is insufficient to exchange for sufficient grain, and how can it borrow moncy when il cannol even pay its current debts ? . Itis sad that such should be the condition of the Soulh, the garden of North America, whero the fruit treos blossom whilo the frest is on our hil h Naturo is the ally and not the cnemy of the The war exhausted the South it is tre, yet her condition was better than itis now. The aboli- tion of Blavery changed the terms upon which the vnegro worked, yet it ehould not bave made material differenco in the efficienoy of his labor. Two years the South bas had to reform hor system, and tho failure of hor loaders to do this is the chiel moral reason for her prosent destitution. Gov. Orr may vainly “include the “intolerance of our con- querors " in bis catalogue of grievances, for these conguorors have fed the vanquished in every Btate, and Gov. Worth may as idly recommend the distribution of the freedmen through the North, as o univesal remedy, when it is notorious that every Southern Staic 15 dependent on the negroos for support, and when even tho Rebel Texas papers, without an exception that we have seen, ingist that the introduction of more negro labor into the Siate can alone prevent it agricultural ruin. We print to- day the fact that au effert is being made to induce the dissatisficd negroes of Souih Carolina to emigrate to Texas. The cotton worm bas done its work; but man can do more evil than the insect. “ We must stimulate our white population to go carnestly to work, and let them see that labor is b orable and idloncas reprebensible.” Theso are Gov. Orr's words, and they indicate one of the chief catsos of Southern poverty—the indolence of the whites. The curse, whioh ages Lave made a blessing, has como at last to the lords of the land, and they must learn to take their part in the unending toil of the twelve hundred millions of the world. The indolence of the frocdmen is au old story, but wo do not believe it. The megro can work, as the past prosperity of the Soutbern planters proves, and the threat of the whip is not so potent with any laborer as the assurggee of reward. This assurance the South has not given to the negroes. Sho has treated freedmen as serfs, and cannot com- plain that they wenf {0 g fruitlosy task ‘with relue- tance. We have ample facts o show that on every plantation where the laborers were paid—not prom- {sed—fuir wages, thero was no lack of workmen and good work, But the Labor Lawas of ‘he Soutbern States have crushed labor, and helped the worm and flood to do their fatal work. Whils these laws mx.n.:iu ‘."',""j"fla‘: I#f g;lllll: (0] l;l\‘m .[{.: 0 orosperity. That there ave natural and uBav dable canses of this dreadful destitution we know; but the moral and political evils ean be rem: Itis easy to blame, aud it may seem barsh to a suffering people; yot in this case it would bo unjust not to attempt to arouse the Southern people to a proper sense of their duty. In the meauwhile we hope that Congross will consider the propriety of restoring to tho Freedmen's Bureau the power to rolieve the starving wretches for whom the Southern States are.unable to provide. WHAT SHALL WE DO TO BE S.H"I,'l)f Following the depression of defeat that seized the hearts of the Rebel citizens of the South, came arro- gant and overreaching confidence, based on the old dogma that by cotton the South controlled the world. ration that ‘“the world wust have cotton, and the South alone can supply it,"” was as frequently and emphatically repeated as during the Winter of 1860 aud the Spring of 15861, when the assumption of British intervention was based on the prediction of a cotton fumine in Manchester. The rush of speculators from all parts of the world into the Southern States to gather up the cotton that had cscaped the destruction of the Rebellion, the leasing of plantations by Northern men, the influx of capital and supplies into all of the Southern citios, the offers of factors to advance means to planters to make crops, aud the anxlety of the freedmen to labor, combined to inspire the beliet that notwithstanding his poverty and defeat the cotton- plauter still ruled the nations sud commanded their finances. In the Spring of 1865, the disheartened, demoral- ized planters offered to sell plantations for from $5 to $20 per acre’ that before the war would have commanded from $50;to $120 per acre ; but in the Winter of the same year, encouraged by the events of the Summer and Fall, they advanceg their prices to $25 and $50, and many who bad been ex- ceedingly anxious to sellat any price, however low, subsequently vefused to sell for any reasonable con- sideration. .~ : ‘When the plantingseason openoed, the whole region of the cotton-growing sone was big with hopeful ef- forts, and it was confidently predioted that in de- flance of the disorganization of the labor and the poverty of the planters, nearly a full average crop of cotton would be produced, ' .imstme - . Millions of capital were invested in the purchase of stock aud supplies, laborers were employed at high rates, plantatious woro leased at prices per sunum ex- oeoding what they conld havo been purchased at ten moaths earlier, and every offort was put forth to pro- duce cotton, Every other orop and enterprise was saorifioed to ootton. The whold SBouth was devoted 1@ fun nusngse, U U G ookl it Shae Riodslion of a large cotton erop would again place them inde- pendent of the North and the world. The old rpirit of intolerance again took posseasion of the land, and no Northorn man, who did not lend money to Rebels, or damn YanKees without stint, waa tolerated in the society of “Bouthorn gentlemen.” A torriblo calamity, Which threstenod irrelrievabla ruin on all, soon foll upon the ovor-confideat planters. Tho old cotton seod that had romained in the gin- honaes since 1860 failod to germinate. A second and a third planting were made, and still no stand was ob- tained. The price of good sced advanced to $5 per bushel, and could ba obtained only in small quanitios from plantors who bad planted cotton during the war. This misfortune threw tho wholo crop fully a month late, and this made it subjoct to Iater casualties. In somo portions of the South the laads were inundated, and the entire crop was swopt away by the floods. When the wators subsided, many of the ovorflowed plantations wore replanted. In other places, the carly and long-continued drouth stinted tho plant and out short its production of fruit. Still, there was confidonce in tho vigor of the plants and the propitionsness of the later soason; and, during the month of Auguat, it was confidontly bo- lieved that noarly 3,000,000 bales of cotton would bo picked and markoted in the United States. Early in the mouth of Soptember, however, the dostructive millions of the aemy worm made their appearance, and swopt across the ontire Gul belt of tho Cotton States frgyn the Rio Grande to the Atlantic, goriously damaging the most advanced plants, and totally de- stroging the late planted and backward crops. Had the worthldss ssed, the late frosts, tho floods and the drouth not bolated the growth of the pliant, the appoarance of tho worm in Septembor would not have materially reduced the yield of cotton; butall theso eombined made it & most disaatrous year, such as is not oxperiencad once in a quarter of a contury. Planters who bad employed borrowed capital plodged their crops for its payment. Tn most cases, the proceeds will not reach, and the planter romains in dobt to bis factor, and i®without means to continuoe plaating next year, or to support himself in idloness To add to the misfortunes of the situation, but little corn waa planted, and that, too, has failed throughout the entire South. It will therofore require an imme- diate outlay to purchase forage for tho stock and food for tho laborers. In mavy cases the freedmen had contracted to labor for an interest in the crop, and during the year were credited for such articles as they chose to purchaso, 80 that the failure of the crops gives them but a pit- tance for their yoar's service, and that, with more, is swallowed up in payment of what they have already rooeived. . Morcbants, factors and capitalists, who supplied the funds to the planters, Lave received so littlo in re- turn that thay are nob in & condition to advance ad- ditional sumas noxt year. Thoro scoms thus to be a doad lock in the industrial afiniss of the South. As an oxample of the condition of merchants, we cito the case of a gentleman in Now-Orloans, strongly backed by Northern capital, who this year advanced over $600,000 to planters in the Gulf States, and now expects to receive only §$209,000 in return. In view of these cireumstances, and the political dis- couragement suffered in the defeat of Prosident John- son's poliey, the South just now is more seriously de- proesed in spirit and material resources than it was in the Spring of 1865, Again, land is offored for salo at ex- ceodingly low prices, emigration schomes aro agitated, and men and money are besought to come to their reliof, no matter from what Stato or nation it may emanate, Misfortune and poverty are often the most potent teachers of virtuc and common souse. 80 in this cass, men who swore that not one foot of Bouthern soil shiould be sold to Northorn men now pray that North- ern men, ** Aboli s and all,” shall come and buy freely and cheaply. Even from the State of Mis sipps, where Legislatures enaot wost crael laws against laborers, and Executives issue most vindictive procla- wations, and make most foolish speoches, wo have an agent and o pamphlet, u&crlug for sale to Northern men, without distinction of political creed, over one Lundred plantations. It therefors again becomes the { not the duty, of capitalists, farmers and iino how speadily tes shall be re- al NO.

These little events, our corréspondent writes to us, are “‘of com- mon oeeurren which must be unpleasant to those who do not reccive the gospel of the late Smith. We are certainly for the largest toleration; and, as a gen- eral rule, we would have nobody persocuted for con- gcience’ sake; but we would have a man who foels it to be a religious duty to shoot us, mildly restrained. Wo wonder that Mr. Young, who is &0 much under -the influence of lovely woman, does not grow more amiable; but we won- der still more, being a man of sense and in many re- speets of good judgment, that he goes not at ouce abolish all the nonsense aud wickedness of polygamy. It is only a question of time. The practice is doomed, sooner or later, to disappear; it i3 precisely what it bas been so aptly termed, *“a relic of barbarizm;" all _the sophistry in the world can make it nothing else; and, us it is not absolutely a part of the Mormon faith, but is only tolerated by that fuith, and as it is totally incompatiblo with the best forms of civilization, we do not understand why Mr. Brigham Young does not et & good example to his neighbors by putting away forty-four of his wives, and by cleaving faithfully to the forty-fifth, The ceramony would be impressive, and furnish the subject for a grand historical picture, with twenty-two repudiated ladies upon one side, an equal number upon the other, and No. Forty-five standing side by side with the Governor in the center! The day which witnessed such a spectacle as this would be the brightest in the history of Utah! Then and then only would there begin to be somethinig like social peace in that beautiful territory; and until then the Stae re- ligion, if we may call it so, will be a persecuting, in- tolerant, murdering religion, such as nobody has a right to set up and maintain in any State or Territory subjeet to the Constitution of the United States. As for the religion, such as it is, it must take its chances; if there be anything goodinit, that good will survive; whatever is bad ought not to survive another day. It is worse than folly to talk about conscionce when con solence impols to orime or to opprossion, What respeot aro we bour 1 to have for the conscience which pricks on its possessor to murder, and to murder in its most shamoful shape?

Tho forthooming Report of tho Commissioner of the Glencral Land Offico will mako a considorable oo- tavo volume, and is expected to oontain & large amount of intoresling material. Our prosent popula- tion is estimated at 35,500,000, and the ratio of our inoroase in tho past makes it probable that in 1570 the population will reach 42,250,000, and in 1900, 100,000,- 000. Soif inone generation wo are to become three timos a3 numorons, wo shall be, in two genorations, on the same ratio, nine timos a3 numerous, number- ing noarly 300,000,000 As tho total area, including inlaud water surface, of tho United States, is about 3,250,000 square miles, or about 2,000,000,000 acros. Our population would thua bo at the rate of one inhabitant to six aud two-thirds acres of land, or more thaa 100 to the square mile, corresponding with tho densost population in Kurope. The Report will contain ono chapter giving a historieal summary of our acquisitions of foreign territory, and the principles upon which the rights of its inhabitants have been serupuloualy respocted by the Governmeont. Very intercating statoments will bo given on the progress of the survoys in each Territory. The sur- veyed lands now comprise a total of 1,465,468,800 acres.

CITY NOMINATIONS—THE ELFCTION. We greatly commend the public spirit of Don Alonzo Cushman in acoepting & nomination for Alder- man, a8 we do the wisdom of the Ropublicans and indepondont citizens of the IXth District who bhave nominatod him. For over 40 yeats Mr. Cushman bas beon @ prominent morchant of this city, and is among our moat influential citizens and heaviest tax-payoers. Ho could well afford to do without offico; but his prompt willingneas to enter the field in opposition to the provalont average of dishonesty is good sign that our best citizons are not indifferent to the misgovern- mont which extracts 80 much every yoar from their pockets. Mr. Cusbman's candidacy shows a way by which fraud and ignorance in office may be overcome, if only men of undoubted respoctability will tey it. We shall not bo succossful until our worthiest men take open part in the civie crnsade against corrup- tion, and wo are glad to record that Mr. Cushinan is among the first to entor the lifls. Iis election is almost assured. The nomination of Councilman Christopher Pull- man in the XVth Distriot, aud Couneilman Wm. B. White in the VIIth District, are but small recog- nition of tho earnest honesty with which these gentle- mon have fought the profligaey of ouf city rulers. To their efforts especially is due the final defeat of the @as swindle, by which the city was to be robbed to the tune of millions. We caunot sparo thom from the city's service, and it is to be expected that good men of all parties will cordially unite in securing their election, Col. Jool W. Mason, chair manufacturer, is the Union-Republican candidate for School Commissioner in the VIIth District of this city, Seven years ago he represented the Tenth Ward in the Board of Coun- cilmen, and proved bimsolf an Ropest and efficient | officer, The distriet is strongly Democratic; bat, becanse of a division, two candidates are run by the Col. Mason may be elecled. o Samugl R, Pattorson, _Hopublioan candidate for Schoo! Commissioner 1u the IVth District, and in- | dorsed by the Democrats, is another nomination of | the same charactor as Mr, Cushman. He is President of tho Stuyvesant Fire Insurance Company, was Councilman in 1364, and at’ the last electiod Zained 4,000 votes more than his ticket, as a caudidate for School Commissioner. On Tuesday next, New-York elects a Controller for | four years. The Democratic organizations present Richard B. aud Michael Counoliy. They are both strong with their party, aud are likely toabout equally divide its ordinary adherents, The Repyblican can- didate, Ricuarp KerLy, hasonly to receive the support of his political friends to render not only possible, but probable, his success in the race. Of that support he is eminentiy deserving. Let it be given with a will, 1t will be a momentons gain for the canse of a re- formed City Government to elect & man of financial experienco so disconnected with cliques and coteries as Ricoanp Kxroy, In both party affiliations and per- sonal relations, Judge Kelly is in a position to devote his untrammeled energics to the interests of the tax- payers and people of this great city. We are satisfied that those interests will be as safo in his hands as are those of the depositors in the Savings Banks, or the stockholders in the other ihstitutions which have made bim their chief officer. MESTING OF FRUIT-GROWERS 1N SOUTHERN ILLINOIS.— A socond aunual meeting will be held at South Pass, Union County.
