It deals too much in generalities, and its principal defect is, that while it assails the measures of the Republicans, it fails to make out any definite policy for the Democrats, This doubtless arises from the fact that it isa great deal easier for a party ont of power to find fault with its opponents than to tell precisely what twould do if it stood in their place, The address could not well help making some capital points against Grant and his Administration, It very properly denounces the tendency of recent Congressional legislation toward the obliteration of the just rights of the States and the cen tralization of unwarranted powers in Me Federal Executive, as exemplified In the KuKlux act; and it most truthfully charges that the chief object of this measure is to enable GRANT to wield the tremendous powers conferred upon him In promoting first his renominat.oa, and then his reélection, On this subject the address speaks explicitly, but not too strongly, for never was there in the whole history of the Government a more violent stretch of consti tational provisions, under false pretences, for mere partisan ends, ‘The address utters sound truths about the extravagance, recklessness, and corruption of the Administration, and the failure of Congress since it met in December last todo anything practical and substantial to reduce the burdens under which the people groan while, on the other hand, a majority of the Republicans Lave been willing to minister Yo the vanity of Grant, and join in sehomos for his renomination to an office which they must feel that he is sure to vacate on the 4t of March, 1873, ‘The most significant paragraph in the ad areas is the complimont to Mr. Tresuunt whom it calls “the em'nent Senator of Ili noi ;” and its most important paragraph, in view of the fact that it is signed by all the Democratic Senators and Representatives, is that conjuring the South—for it can have no bearing elsewhere—"to carefully protect the rights of every citizen, to preserve kindly relations among all men, and to discounte- nance and discourage any violations of thc rights of any portion of the people secured ander the Constitution or any of its amend ments.” We counsel the Ku Klux to act upon this advice, and thus take away from Gnanr all preteat for sending a great mili ary force into the Southern States. With @ few modifications we do not see why Senator TrumBuLt could not stand Upon this address as a platform for 1872. a The Ratiroads and the People. When railroads first began to be built bm thie country, it was upon the theory that they were ouly a new variety of turnpikes ‘The laws authorizing their builders to take the land they required without the consent ot its owners were sustained purely on grounds of public policy. It was said by the sourts that the iron track was as much a public convenience as one of earth or stone, nnd that, just as any citizen could drive or walk over an ordinary road, go he could put his own car on a railroad and travel over it This was, however, before the day of wteam locomotives. As soon as these con. trivances were introduced, the whole railroad nystem had to be modified. ‘Vhe railroad com. panies, frow being mere road owners, became sarricrs of goods and passengers, and crowded other carriers off their tracks al: ‘together, ‘This was, indecd, inevitable. N Husiness could be safely trart*acted on a rail road unless one single head regulated the movement of all the trains ; and no man in his senses would now think of keeping a private locomotive and car for use on the various ra'lroads of the country, as he keeps hie carriage and horses, It is safer as well aa cheaper for him to use the vehicles pro vided for the common née of all travellers. This change in the theory of building and operating railroads, while it has yielded un expected profits to their owners, has also given rise to a quite generally received opia jon that they are nothing more than private money: making machines, like the business of amerchant or a manufacturer, During the last fow years especially, our American Tuilroad companics have gone on consolidat ing and extending their lines, and watering thoir capitols, with reference solely to their own interests Their managers assume that their only duty is to mako all the money they possibly can for themselves and their shareholders, and that the public are sheep to be shorn for their advantage, ‘Thore are judications at present of a rebel Sion against the tyranny of railroad corpora tions on the part of the people. Fortunately, legislative outhority is ati necessary for im: portant acis on the part of the railroads, and these reminders to the popular repre wmalatives of the power they possess have not been useless. By « wise foresight the rate of way passenger fares on the Cen- tral Railroad of this State has been limited to two cents per mile, and on all other roads to three cents, In Illinois a law hae lately been passed reducing the rates from five cente per mile to two and one-half cents, and limiting local treights to the lowest prices charged for through irausportation. Similar laws will doubtless be enacted in all the other Btates, and speculators in railroad stocks who calculate on an unlimited in. crease of dividends will be disappointed. The people at large have too immediate an interest in keeping down the cost of passage and transportation for their representatives to dare to vote against that interest, and Lribery will be impotent to defeat their will. Every farmer at the West secs plainly that it is he who pr the cost of carrying his whent to market; since all wheat brings the same price at Chicago or New York, no mat ter how far it has had to be brought, and every cent paid for freight isa cent out of his pocket. Every maker and consumer of manufactured goods, or raiser of cattle or agricultural products, knows that the cheaper freights are the better it is for him; and the traveller, more than all, is alive to the difference between one dollar and two in the price of a railroad ticket. To suppose that any combination or monopoly can stand against this universal pressure, is to suppose that Niagara Falls can be dammed up by human agency, and the river rolled back into Lake Erie, The time is coming when no railroad will be allowed to exact any greater compensa- tion from its customers than enough to pay its expenses and the lowest market rate of interest on its cost, The watering of capi- tals, of which we have of late had so many stupendous instances, will not only be stopped, but undone where already accom. plished, and railroads will be made to return to their original condition of instruments for the benefit of the public, and not for that of stockholders alone, pe tila Humbug. It is wonderful how long a lie will live, especially if aay number of influential per sons have an interest in it. Here is a Com mittee of the Massachusctts Legislature who declare that in their opinion the coasts of San Domingo “ might supply capacious and protected harbors, where our shipping, com mercial ond naval, might freely resort for necessary repairs and supplics.” Now the fuct is that in all the coasts of San Domingo there ts not a single good har bor. The only place which hag the appear- ance of being a harbor is the Bay of Samana ; and there no vessel drawing over ten feet of water can be got in. When the Teuneasee was there lately she had to lic outside, end f a strong easterly gale had arisen sho would have been compelled to pull up her anchors and run out to sea in order to be safe. This, we repeat it, is the only approach to a harbor in the whole Dominican Republic, and there ig not an experienced officer in our navy who will maintain the eontrary. Nevertheless, the falsehood about “ capacious and protected harbors” there is a pretty old one, and is evi- dently still destined to a long life, ——— A Bad Principle. The Democratic jouraals, especially in the West, strongly condemn Senator SUMNER’s recent declaration that he should vote for the Ku-KInx bill, notwithstanding its objection- able features. No ery of ceontralisns or im. perialism, said Mr. SumNen, “could deter him. He was for the contralism of liberty and the imperialism of equal rights. Once the nation served slavery in the interest of State rights; now it must serve liberty even to the denial of State rights.” As our contemporaries everywhero ol; serve, this involves a false and pernicious doctrine, Liberty can only be secured by law ; and if we set aside the Constitution in the name of liberty in 1871, we may over. throw it in order to make a favorite candi date President by military power and a sham election in 1872 This avowal seems to have put an end to all possibility of Mr, Sumnen’'s being nomi. nated as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency. He is not the man on whom all parties can unite an era of general good fecling. pe One of our contemporaries diseusses the question of a Democratic candidate for the Supreme Court im this city at the coming eleo- tion, and concludes that it would be just as well to leave the entire matter in the bands of the Convention, This may do in point of form; but in point of fact the Convention will have nothing to say abont it, The sucecasful nomination will be made by Perse B, Sweex and Wutsaw M Tween; and as for the unsuecessful ones, it is of little consequence who makes them, —_—$_———— It is an interesting fact that, notwithetand ing the disordered condition of the Southern States, population, industry, and wealth have been steadily on the Increase there since the close of the rebellion, In six years since the end of Uhe war, the eleven rebel States have gained eight hundred thousand in the number of their people; they have three thousand five hundred miles of railroad more than they had then; they have four cultivated farms now where they had three before the war; and their number of manu facturing establishments is more than doubled, ‘The agricultural products of these eleven States in 1869 amounted to over one thousand seven hundred and fifty millions of dollars, of which less than one-fifth was in cotton, Pigures hke these show how ineonsiderably the outrages of tne Ku-Klux have affected the general prosperity of the country, and how unnecessary is the un- constitutional law on Wat subject which bas just been passed by Congress, 3 Caceiemmeaesader Who can calculate how much reputation Brew Boruen has lost since Congress met in Do- comber?

M, J. Cuamen, the most highly favored among the Prosident’s brothers-in-law, is not well entroated by aristocratic society in 1 mark, Even the diplomatic corps use him with studied neglect, and fashionable people in general turo up their noses at him. These wn- pleasant circumstances are due to the report that the Rey, Mr, Cramun was ‘publicly flogged at Leipaic and did not resent it, and to the remarks aid to have been made about him at the time when his nomination was discussed in the Sonate at Washington. He is not only cut in public, but what is worse and more exponsive, it iw said that he receives no invitations to dinner, How trae these THE SUN, SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1871. painfal allegations may be we have no means of pecertaining; bat we trust that the Secretary of Btate will lose no time in representing to the Danish Minister at Washington the necessity that & more courteous style of manners should be ex- hibited im the capital of that little country to- ward the brother-in-law of the President, If such remoustrances should prove ineffectual, few monitors might be ordered to Copenhagen to teach the Danes what politenoss is due to Mr. Cramen’s family relationship. If the President's brother-in-law can be insulted with impunity ina forcign land, what will become of us? — The 7roy Times las an interesting articlo upon corruption at Albany, It states the case with commendable plainness. * There is aman,’ says the 7¥mea, the Legislature now who was once indicted in this county for corruption as a legislator, and fled to Canada till the indict ment could be filehed from the office of the prosecutor, There is a man in Congress from this State who gained a fortune at Albany in one winter by tho aalo of his vote." By way of curing this deplorable and dangerous condition of things, the Times recommends that a bribed man should be subjected to social ostracism, ‘ He should be voted down by every honest citizen, He should be tabooed in society as an unworthy, base person. Ile should be made to feel that he is like one amitten with a plague ; that men stand aloof from him with disgust.’’ No doubt such a punishment would bave its efficacy if society could be brought to apply it; but how can this be expected whon the Constitution and laws are such that bribery and corruption are virtually tolerated by them? Society cannot be much better than the laws which govern it. The man who sells bis vote, if he is rich, will not be in danger of suffering any fatal chastisoment from public opinion, In order to prevent bribery and corruption, the Constitution and laws of the State must be changed. In the new Constitution framed in 1807 there were some excellent and wholesome provisions on this subject, embodied in it through the wisdom and pertinacity of the Hon. Gronae Orvrxs of this city, If these pro- visions had been adopted by the people and put in force, legislative corruption would ere this have been extinguished, But they were rejected, and the crime continues and flourishes, and will be likely to flourish in spite of all the denuncia. tions and all the expositions of its wickeducss, until the people of the State shell awake to the necessity of preventing it by adequate constitu share in the proposed reorganization of the Re publican party in this city, His letter of de- clination reads as follow New You, April 9, 1971.

A single one in Santa Barbara yielded last year forty dollars’ worth of nuts, A farmer in that neighborhood has this spring planted fifty thousand almond trees, and many others have set out smaller orebards. It is very likely that within afew years California will be able to supply almonds enough for we whole Union, Re immigrant to this country from Europe is worth $800 on an average, according to Mr. Eowaun Younxo, chief of the so-called Bureau of Statistics at Washington, This is o litte lower than the estimate bitherto usually made, some authoritics placing the figures at $1,000, and some at 1,125. Mr. Youxe's com putation is based upon the assumption that the wages of laborers and unskilled persons through- ont the country average $400 a year, and that each man represents a family of four persons, The cost of maintaining this family is $240, leav- ing $160, or €40 fur each member, as the amount of its net annual earnings. At five per cent, this sun represents capital of 6800, the smount above wentioned.

L. Smith and bis wife Elizabeth were the other witnesses to the transaction. A few minutes afterward Fowler drew Op an additional paper and requested the widow to Sign it, Lo said nothing of its contents, and when the widow, already exhausted by her former effort, was held ap in bed to the paper, Fowler held his hand over the writing so that st eould not be read, ‘This paper proved to ve an order on D.
