Tiik Rochester Riot.—The ex-
vitainout iu Rochester, New York, over
tho negro Howard, contains two uug-
gestivo points worthy of note by the
of both sections. It was tui
outrage such as tlte people of the South
are constantly subjected to, au l if one
rach instance sets a whole populace in
« blase there, whore the. laws are ex*
ncuted witli mum certainty, how much
wore excusable ore such .demonstra
tions in the South, where in many dis
tricts, the laws are executed by wretches !
as ha-e as the crimimi;. uiul where jittr-
dou is almost burn to follow convic
tion. In pointing thU moral for our
Northern oppressors, who do not hen-
tate to put scores of innoceut men in
dungeons under the pretext of arrest
ing men who do just what the people
of Rochester attempted, we must also
com mend the triumph of law over mob
violence, as an example worthy of im
itation everywhere. The criminal was
■spowlily tried, and is in prison for twcu-
itv years—tho extreme penalty of the
Jaw iu that State. It was unfortunate
that innocent persons were killed in
•quelling the riot, but better so than
that mob violence should triumph. If
Rochester—the home of Fred Douglas
the centre of abolitionism, runs mad
•over a crime which is constantly occur-
■ing nt the South, may not the {teople
«»f the North learn some tolerance for
the avenging deeds of the so-called
Ku-Klux ?
Death of Fi.sk.—Janies fisk, the
notorious financial adventurer, known
•as the “ Ring of Eric,” from his con
nection with the Erie railroad, was fa
tally shot at the Grand Central Hotel a
few days ago, by a man named Stokes.
Ho liven about twelve hours, and ilied
surrounded by his family and friends.
Tho shooting grew out of his recent
law suit with Mrs. Mansfield, with
whom both Stokes and Fisk have main
tained questionable relations for some
itimo.
h isk was a most remarkable mau.
Shrewd, unscrupulous, and enterpris
ing, he hod risen, in a few years from
an obscure Vermont pedler, to a mil-
lliotutire, and a King in financial circles.
Ho was a man of rare genius, and his
•quaint sayings, and recklessly original
•strokes of business policy, will long be
remembered. He was liberal and kind,
and had very strong friends. He was
a shining type of the shoddy clement,
which the Just few years have brought
into prominence in the great business
•centres. He has “ gone where the
•woodbine twinoth,” and in obedience to
Jtho old max ju, let him rest in peace.

CrisA to he Recognized as a
Belligerent.—T!»e New York Sun
of Wednesday leads its editorial with a
Washington special announcing a com
plete revolution iu the Cuba and Spain
programme of the administration. It
says it has been determined to recog

“ Of these about half made their
debuts as devotees of poetry. The great
majority of them are comparatively
unknown, except to their personal ac
quaintances' and special' circles of ad
mirers. There are, however, many
who give unmistakable tokens of prom
ise, and we feel assured that out of
tliis fair host, who have so gallantly ral
lied trt the rescue of our Southern lit
erature, 'a large number will distin-.
guish themselves in a contest for literary
honors.
“ Not exceeding a dozen, we sup
pose, claim a position in the first rank
•i 1th the popular authors of Yashti and
Valerie .vyliuer. Tho veteran of the
fair phalanx is a venerable octogena
rian, Mrs. Sarah Brewer Thomas, of
New Orleans, author of a book of
European and Egyptian travels; and
the youngest is Miss Cora Townsend,
of the same city, a promising and tal
ented debutante, who, at the fender
age of thirteen, produced a -novel
I which was c-teemed sufficientlySicri-
pufittivcly lavish application of fertil
izers.
The truth is, it the crop of 1871 ex
ceeds three million bales, it will he
more significant of gigantic cotton crops
in the future than the 4,300,000 bales
of 1870. That year was as uncommon
ly propitious as this has been excep
tionally disastrous. We thought it fair
to estimate that the extraordinary j
length of the seasons—the remarksnly
propitious weather, and the unprece
dented expenditure in manures, swell
ed the crop more than a million bales
beyond a normal product.
Assuming, then, that about three
million Iwiles was the true productive
capacity of the -South under ordinarily
fair conditions, what ought we in rea
son to expect from years of alternate
excessive rains, scorching drouths, chill
ing blasts and dry anil blasting winds
like the last one? Upon this hypothesis
the crop of 1867 of about two million
bales, was all we had any right to ex
pect, and two and a half millions would
have been a large allowance. But the
nly question now is, how much a crop
produced in such weather as that, is
going to exceed three millions ?
Therefore, we repeat, the crop of
1871 is more significant of the almost
illimitable cotton producing power of
the South, than any event which has
happened since th*c war:. That, in con
nection with our history the past three
or four years, should open the eyes of
every cotton planter to the fact that
the march is onward and upward with
great rapidity; and if tho product of
next year ranges between four and a
half and five million bales, he has no
right to be astonished; and, ns in four
years it went np from two millions, so
in four more years it may go up from
four millions to six or seven millions,
and, therefore, the only course at all
compatible with prudence, is to dimin
ish his cash plantation expenses to as
low a point as possible. Let him plant
with the expectation of low prices, and
surely he will not l>c disappointed
hurtfully. Let him look well to his
farm and meat supplies, and improve
his lands with manures produced at
home and by turning in green crops.
In a word, farm and not plant.
A prominent Republican -Senator,
speaking of the contemplated action of
the Administration in according bellig
erent rights to the Cuban patriots, ex
pressed the opinion that the President
had become satisfied of the hopelessness
of the American ease as presented at
the Geneva Conference, and was anxi
ous by immediate interference in Cuban
affairs to afford England a pretext for
rejecting our demands, which would
appear honorable to outsiders, and
cover up the bungling of American
members of the late Joint High Com-
ti„. contest without! ,orion5 entitle her to rank as un mi-
whether waging
allies, or as a member of a coalition ?
lu answering these questions a few facts
are of more value than a volume of a
declamation.
The popular majority for Gen. Grant
in 1868 was 3011,588, Virginia, Missis
sippi and Texas not voting at all, and
Florida choosing electors by the Legis
lature. How small this seemingly
large majority really is, will lie appar
ent when we irradnate it hy a scale
which the mind can readilv enmpre-
tlmr.

The Supreme Court Vacancy.—
Mr. Stephens reiterates his views that
the Legislature can elect a Supreme
Court Judge, but at the same time he
believes the better course will be for the
Legislature to pass an act changing the
code. He says:
“ Let an act be passed changing the
existing law to this extent, that, in
stead of an election by the General As
sembly, on the contingency now pro
vided for, the vnncancy, on the meet
ing of the Legislature, shall be filled
by an Executive nomination, with a
confirmation by the Senate. This will
fully meet all the pressing necessities
of the case, and preserve due symmetry
in our system.”
The Year’s Dead.—Of the men
and women distinguised in the ranks
of science, art, literature, and public
life, who have passed away during the
year that is now hard onto its ln<t
days, there are not a few whose names
recur at this time. Science lias lost
the inestimable services of Herschcll,
Murchison, Holbrook, Becqnercl. and
De Morgan; the names of the Cary
sisters, Tuckcrman, Grote, Gcrvinus,
Dumas, Kohl and De Gasparin are in
the list of popular authors whom the
year has taken; Von Hess and Aligny
have disappeared from among the ar
tists; Prim, Omer Pasha and Scltamvl
bend. In round numl>ere, the lVo-i-! N \’'' nne ;_:f ^
dential vote in 1868 was 5,800,000,
and Grant’s majority 310,000. This,
on a reduced scale is saying that in a
vote of 580 his majority was 31. If,
for example, in that, township of Wes-
chestcr county where lies the domain
of Cliappaqua the Republicans should
after a tierce contest in whiclvA80 votes
were given, elect a Supervisorbv baru-
lv 31 majority, would not Dr. Greeley
be justified in insisting that if the Re
publicans hoped to maintain their su
premacy in that town their Supervisor
must behave himself? And this is the
precise position in which the figures of
1868 place Gen. Grant.
In the Congressional elections of
1870 each party did its utmost. The
losses of the Republicans were heavy.
Their majority in the House chosen
with Grant was 06. Their majority
in the present House is 32, showing a
falling of!'of 64 members, ami l>eing
among the greatest changes from one
Congress to the next in the history of
the country. Moreover, though the
House is nominally Republican by this
narrow majority, a few test votes have
already proven that it is anti-Grant.
How stood the popular vote in the
last Congressional elections ? In a lew
of tho Southern States the returns are
partially imperfect; but bv going over
the caiivars with care in those States
which gave Grant his 809,588 majori
ty, it will be found that the majority
;iven therein to the Republican can-
lidates for the present House over
their Democratic apponents is just
about 25,000. - We arc certain that it
does not vary 5,000 from those figures.
Here Is a sample of the two classes of
returns. We select eleven States
which fairly represent all sections ot
the Union, namely; Maine and Massa
chusetts iu the extreme East; New
York and Pennsylvania of the great
central cluster; Illinois and Iowa in
the Northwest; North Carolina of the
Atlantic rebel tier; Alabama in the
extreme South ; West Virginia, whose
history typifies every phase of enfran
chisement for slaves and rebels; Ten
nessee, whose negroes voted in the
Presidential contest; and Kentucky,
whose negroes first voted In the Con
gressional elections now under review.
The returns show that iu these eleven
States Grant received a majority over
Seymour of 200,764 votes, and that in
the Congressional contests of 1870 in
the same States the Democratic candi
dates received a majority of 14,310
votes, making a Republican loss in two
years of 215,074 in those States.—
These figures are absolutely correct,
and we know of no reason why the re
sults in these eleven States may not be
accepted as a dear demonstration of
public opinion throughout the Union.
We now come to the elections ot the
present year, which, in the estimation
of Grant’s office-holders, have reversed
the condemnatory verdict of 1870.—
This is an error. The elections of this
fall were not national, as were those of
1870; tho policy of Grant’s Adminis
tration was not now so distinctly in is
sue as it was then ; and more than all,
only about half as many States have
voted, while those which have not held
elections—we refer to nearly all the
carpet-bag States—are the very ones
where Grant would have been most
diet for her all the prosperity in the |
future which her present enterprise de
serves.—Chronicle d Sentinel.

Tlie smoke of the recent contests
having lifted from the field, we now see
that, excepting in New York' and
Pennsylvania, tlie majorities of 1871
do not vary materially from those of
1870, though the general drift is rather
against the Democracy. This general
tendency, with the special results in
the two States named, is duo to the ex
posure of the Tammany frauds. But
long ere the Presidential election arri
ves the Democratic jiartv will have
deansed its skirts of all taint of Tam

then, even though the Democracy are
compelled to encounter him single-
handed, if they will present reform
candidates whom the people can trust;

Tlie Pennsylvania ('cntral Railroad
Company is fast beoomiug one of the
largest and wealthiest corporations in
the United States, if not in the world.
For some time past it lists been making
strong elforts to secure a continuous line
of railway to the far West, and by hav
ing au almost unlimited command of
money, lias purchased a controlling in
terest in the roads connecting with its
own as far as this jsiint. It was only
a short time since that it purchased a
1 arge amount of stock in the Charlotte
Columbia and Augusta Railroad, and
thus obtained a powerful influence in
the management of tiiat line, which is
one of the connecting links between
the terminus of the Pennsylvania Cen
tral proper and the aimed for Western
point. At Augusta, however, the
Pennsylvania corporation finds it ne
cessary to make effort? toward another
step in the desired direction. Two
rumors in reference to such efforts l»e-
ing made at present were current on
the streets yesterday. One was that
the Pennsylvania Central had made
overtumes to the Georgia Road for an
alliance or combination, for mutual
benefit,' while the other was that the
Pennsylvania Central had made an
offer to the Georgia to lease the latter
for one hundred years, and pay its
stock-holders an interest of ten per cent
a year on their stock. We arc not
prepared to say whether thero is any
foundation for either of these reports.
The Georgia Road, as a matter of
course, could not be leased without the
express assent of its stockholders in
convention assembled.
Time only can tell whether eitheir of
the propositions mentioned in the prem
ises will be formally made to the
convention which meets next May.
Georgia Central Railroad stock bos
materially declined, and it is supposed
that the falling off is due the above
mentioned rumors'. A coalition be
tween the Georgia Railroad and the
Pennsylvania Central, or a lease of the
former to the latter would allect the in
terest of the Georgia Central not a little,
and tiiat corporation will, as a matter
of course, make every effort to prevent
such a result. In the meantime the
Pennsylvania Central is “ blocked” at
Augusta.
The tendency of railroads at the
present time seems to be toward consol
illation, and it is probable tiiat not
many years will elapse before tlie
main lines, or railroad arteries,, so to
speak, of the American Republic, will
be under the management of two or
three corporations. Whether tbip will
be of practical benefit to the mercan
tile and traveling public can'onlyl>e evi
denced by the result.—^Conxtitntionaluit,

• The Drummer Decision.
Tlie Society of Commercial Trav
elers publish a circular calling atten
tion to a decision rendered by tlie Su
preme Court of tue United Suites, De
cember 11, 1871, in the case of Ward
vs. /The State of Maryland, which,
according to the circular, “ makes null
and void all license laws ot any State
or city in the Union relating to com
mercial travelers.” This does not give
tlie^scojic of the decision fairly. The
Supreme Court has not decided that
while all other men may be subjected
to license laws members of the Society
or Commercial Travelers, or, to use a
sh urter style, drummers, are to be ex
empt. It has simply been laid down
as law that no State or municipality
can impose any different tax, license
fee, or charge tor the transaction of
business therein on the citizens of an
other State than it imposes ujion its
own citizens in like case. The reason
of the deci.-ioii is to lie found in that
clause of the Constitution of the United
States (art. iv., see. 2, par. I 4 ) which
reads: “ The citizens of each State
shall be entitled to all privileges and
immunities of citizens in tlie several
States.” Maryland exacted a tax from
citizens of other States other than tiiat
which she required from her own citi
zens, ami in this case the Supreme
Court could not but decide as it did
that all fee:-, licenses, charges oil busi
ness, &e., required by auy State.must
be the same for the citizens of each of
the United States. Within this limit
each State may assess such tax as it
see fit, and it is jierfectly competent for
any State to require a license for sales
by sample or otherwise, always pro
vided the resident is charged the same
as the non-resident for selling in the
same way.— H oaV.

New Yoke, January 9.—A Herald

of the press, will leave on the 2\ o’clock

meet Gov. James M. Smith, and es
cort him to Atlanta. This is a proper
and just tribute to our patriotic Gov
ernor-elect, who has, for his integrity
and known opposition to the public
plunderings of the day, been called
upon by the honest people of Georgia,
almost without a dissenting voice to
fill the gubernatorial chair. He is well
worthy ot tlie highest tribute which an
honest people can 1 -estow on an hon

An Atkinta correspondent of Iho
New York llcrold tells the following
about Gen. Toombs:
Toombs, as you are aware, is famous
for his facility of getting off some most
original and astonishing things. His
last original idea was when a gentleman
recently asked him what he thought of
President Grant’s administration.—
“ Why, sir,” replied Bob, in bis own
inimitable style, “if you were to throw
a thousand tons of ipecac into hell it
could not vomit fortli a greater mass
of corruption.”
The Sit nut iuu in Utah—A tiToomy Pic
ture.
Salt Lake City. U. T., Jan. 5.
The admission of Utah as a Stato of
tlie Union is strongly opposed on the
ground that it would'give the Mormon
Church absolute authority in tlie new
State; and it is contended that if the
suppression of polygamy should be made
a condition of admission, the law mak
ing such provision would become
dead letter. In the opinion of a large
class of influential persons there is no
f resent necessity for the admission of
Itali as a State.
The great prosjicrity and the devel
opment of the resources of Utah will
be as well, if not lietter, secured under
the territorial organization.
It is said that Baker, the principal
