TAPPING THE HIKES.
The Committee on Gubernatorial Votes
in Maine have prepared two reports—one,
the majority, in favor of seating Plaisted,
he having a plurality of all the votes cast;
the other, the minority, in favor of re
ferring the matter to the Supreme Court to
determine whether the constitutional
amendment making a plurality vote effect
ive can be legally applied to the present
election. *
The resignation of Marshal Fitzsimons, of
Georgia, is daily expected at the Executive
Mansion. It is stated that he has voluntari
ly announced his intention of resigning, and
that Mr. Hayes has not contemplated re
moving him.
In the United States House of Represen
tatives yesterday, under the call of States,
several bills were introduced, among them
one by Mr. Speer, of Georgia, to exempt
from import duties all machinery used in
the manufacture of cotton thread and cot
ton goods. A resolution requesting Mr.
Hayes to extend to the government and
people of France an invitation to be present
at the Yorktown Centennial was passed.
The Speaker then proceeded to call com
mittees for reports, and the only important
report presented was the Indian appropria
tion bill, which was referred to the
committee of the whole. The rest of the
day was expended in discussing the bill.acd
during the discussion Mr. McMaginnis de
nied that Western men were unkind to the
Indians, and said that the ignorant inter
ference of Eistern philanthropists was the
cause of Indian wars. Finally the commit
tee rose and the House adjourned. Noth
ing of any special interest transpired in the
Senate.
The San Francisco Call publishes an in
terview with Hon. John F. Swift, one of
the Commissioners to negotiate a treaty
with China. He reports that the new treaty
contains a clause giving the United States
power to terminate the residence of Chinese
in this country at pleasure, and it is tacitly
understood ttat Chinese cannot become
naturalized in this country.
The Republicans were successful at the
recent municipal elections in France. The
successes were distinctly Gambettist and
anti-Bocial. Even in Paris no Communists
have been elected, although several receiv
ed large votes.
The canvass for the New York Senator
ship has been reopened. Considerable con
sternation was created by the report that
General Grant would be a candidate,
hut it was positively denied. A rumor
also prevailed that several Demo
crats stood ready to cast their votes for the
anti-Conklicg candidate, which caused some
heated comments. Tammany Hall, it is
said, will seek revenge in this way for the
defeat it sustained by the fusion in New
York.
In a light near Shreveport, La., yesterday,
Richard Scroggins, a olfe-legged Federal
pensioner, killed Frank Castle. Scroggins
was arrested.
There is an ice gorge in the James river,
Va. The Old Dominion, the first steamer
in two weeks, arrived at Richmond from
New York yesterday, having to break
through the ice that was five feet thick in
some places.
The World’s Fair Commission met in New
York yesterday. Rev. Dr. Newman opened
the proceedings with prayer, and Mayor
Grace delivered an address of welcome.
The report of the committee stated that the
subscription list is making great progress in
the hands of the committee, and promises
to be a success. Dr. Newman read an ad
dress to the people of the United States set
ting forth the objects of the commission.
Five members of the House of Commons,
who are traversers, will remain in Parlia
ment until the case of the prosecution
closes, and if the debate on coercion is not
concluded by that time, the defense will
proceed without their presence.
The New York stock market opened
strong yesterday and advanced sharply
under the influence of heavy purchases.
Telegraph shares were the most prominent
in the upward movement.
A heavy easterly storm caused an ice
blockade at Sandy Hook yesterday, and
some twenty or more sailing vessels were
caught in the ice.
The automatic whistling buoy off Fire
Island, New York, has disappeared. It will
be replaced as soon as possible.
Harpers’ Young People.
We have received from the publishers
several numbers of the above beautifully
illustrated periodical. Its neatly printed
pages are filled with stories, poems and
sketches from the best writers,
designed to afford innocent and
attractive recreation for the youthful
mind, to inculcate good principles, in
spire a taste for art and awaken a de
sire for knowledge. The illustrations
are profuse, and in the best style of art.
Harper's Your.g People is published
weekly, each number containing sixteen
quarto pages enveloped in a hadnsome
cover. Subscription price, $1 50 per
year, in advance. Harper Brothers,
New York.
LitieiC* Living Age entered upon
its one hundred and forty-eighth
volume this month. Foreign peri
odical literature embraces more
thoroughly every year the work of
the foremost writers in all departments
of literature, science, politics and art;
and the Living Age, which gives in con
venient form the best of this literature,
can, therefore, hardly fail to become of
more and more value every year to its
readers. The first weekly number of the
new year and new volume is a good one
with which to begin a subscription. For
fifty two numbers, of sixty-four large
pages each (or more than 3,300 pages a
year), the subscription price ($8) is low,
while for $lO 50 the publishers send any
one of the American $4 monthlies or
weeklies, with the Living Age, for a year,
both postpaid. Littell & Cos., Boston,
are the publishers.
“Secretary Scburz,” says the Wash
ington correspondent of the Hartford
(Conn.) Times, “as soon as he retires
from the Cabinet, will publish a book.
He has been engaged on it, at intervals,
for several years. It will boa sort of
politico-historical novel, in which he will
make certain of his actors say what he
thinks about some public men and public
questions. This book will be ‘Endy
mion’ liie, though it will hardly create
such a sensation as Disraeh’s. Still, if Mr.
Schurz will tell all he knows about
public matters, his novel will kick up a
terrible row in some quarters at least,
and would be very interesting reading to
many about here.”
A Handsome Gift.— Mr. Wm. H.
Vanderbilt has handed his check for
SIO,OOO to the Rev. Dr. Charles F.
Deems, of New York, as an addition to
the “Deems fund,” to be loaned to in
digent students of the University of
North Carolina. In communicating the
information of the gift to President Bat
tle, of the University, Dr. Deems says
the check came unsolicited. He further
says the design is to help indigent stu
dents, not to carry them, and that the
right kind of young men will satisfy
President Battle that they will ultimate
ly be able to return the sum borrowed,
and will find friends to stand for them.
President Garfield and the Federal
Patronage.
The New Y'ork Time* publishes a letter
from Cincinnati, which appears to have
been inspired by Mr. Garfield or by some
one near him. Referring to Governor
Foster’s withdrawal from the Senatorial
contest, the letter says: “He was asked
by General Garfield to give way for the
sake of harmony, and he complied. That
is all there is of it. Gen. Garfield wrote
that he was ‘one of the men of whom he
could ask such a favor,’ and so he asked.
In so doing, General Garfield made no
promises, suggested no call to the Cabi
net, and no doubt never thought of issu
ing such call. Governor Foster is des
tined for this coming Gubernatorial fight,
and he will remain in Ohio and make it. ”
In connection with the alleged pledge of
Federal patronage to the Grant faction,
the letter says: “Gen. Garfield goes into
the Presidential office as clear from mort
gages, promises and pledges as any Presi
dent ever elected. He asked no man for
the nomination, and he asked no man for a
vote. That the Federal appointments in
each State will be largely left to the
people of that State his letter of accept
ance directly declares. The advice of
Congressmen will be gladly received in
all cases, and when that advice seems to
be in the line of the public desire, the
Congressional recommendation will be
indorsed. If not indorsed, the Presi
dent will be able to show by proof from
the Congressman’s constituents the cause
and the defense of his action.” This is
equivalent to a repudiation of the claims
of Conkling, Cameron, Logan & Cos. to
the control of the Federal patronage in
even their several States. If the Gar
field administration lives up to that
pledge of a repudiation of the “ma
chine,” it will be in great part by reason
of Democratic support. The Grant fac
tion will not support Mr. Garfield under
such conditions.
Death Rate of Whites and Blacks.
The mortuary statistics of this coun
try show a marked difference between
the death rate in the white and colored
population in the cities North and South.
In Richmond the death rate of the
colored population in November was
32.1, and of the white people 11.1. For
the same month the colored death rate, in
Boston was 36.5 and the white only 21.6;
in Providence, colored 34.3, white only
19.9; in Keokuk, lowa, colored 40.07,
white only 5.8, a marked contrast.
Statistics from the Southern towns which
have reported do not exhibit any notable
difference in the death rate of the two
races. In Selma, Ala., the colored death
rate in November was 19.00 and the
white 19.2, while in Austin, Texas, the
death rate of both races was pre
cisely the same—6.s. If the statistics
from the country districts in the
South could be had, they would
no doubt bear out those of the Southern
towns in showing that the colored death
rate does not exceed the white. Indeed,
it is probable that in the country the
death rate of the whites exceeds that of
the colored people, and it is a well
known fact that the latter increase tar
more rapidly than the whites on the
Southern plantations and farms. The
excessive colored death rate m the cities
is no doubt due to the fact that most of
them are overcrowded with colored peo
pie; many of them are unable to get em
ployment, and especially in such severe
weather as we have had this winter, ex
posure, lack of food, fuel and clothing,
and other hardships of excessive poverty,
carry numbers to the grave.
An Important Admiralty Dcision.
In the United States Court for the
Easteru District of Pennsylvania, sitting
in admiralty, Judge Butler, on Tuesday,
rendered an important decision upon a
new point in connection with the estab
lished regulations for promoting the
safety of navigation. The case was one
of cross libels filed by the Havana steam
er Santiago de Cuba and the British
steamship Scots Greys. These vessels
came in collision in the Delaware river,
below Philadelphia, on the night of July
19, 1879. Both ships steered out of the
way to avoid one another, but confusion
arising in regard to signals yiey
came into collision while at full speed.
The Santiago de Cuba claimed
$16,300 damages, the Scots Greys
$19,500. The counsel for the
British vessel contended that a foreign
vessel, when navigating American
waters, is not bound by the signal regu
lation of the United States inspectors,
these regulations being designed by Con
gress to be local and domestic in their
operation. Judge Butler sustained this
view of the law, dismissed the libel of
the Santiago de Cuba and entered judg
ment for the full amount claimed by the
owners of the British steamship. This
decision would seem to make it a matter
of urgency for our government to co
operate with others to procure the im
mediate adoption of an international
system of signal regulations which
vessels of all nations will alike be bound
b Y-
Messrs. Garfield and Conkling, though
having served in Congress for years as
leading representatives of the Republi
can party, have never been intimate.
Before the late election, however, a bar
gain was undoubtedly consummated be
tween them. In return for the support
of the Grant faction, Garfield probably
agreed to conserve Conklißg’s interests.
In this connection the Troy Press
says: “Undoubtedly Mr. Conkling
expected that none of his political
enemies in this State, at any
rate, would be taken care of. Mr. Gar
field now gives notice that he will look
after the cosset lambs like Senator Rob
ertson. General Husted and the others
who broke the back of the Grant move
ment. It may be assumed that Senator
Conkling will get very angry over this
announcement, and it may also be as
sumed that Mr. Garfield will be gratified
because the Senator’s anger will lead him
to refuse any offices. Mr. Garfield shows
the wisdom of a serpent in precipitating
a contest. ”
The Republic in Danger.—Gover
nor Gray, in his annual message to the
Legislature of Indiana, says: “In my
judgment the republic cannot live long
in the atmosphere which now surrounds
the ballot box. Moneyed corporations,
to secure favorable legislation for them
selves, are taking an active part in elec
tions by furnishing large sums of money
to corrupt the voter and purchase
■pedal privileges from the government.
If money can control the decision at the
ballot box, it will not be long until it can
control its existence.” He recommends
the enactment of a law authorizing the
institution of a civil suit against any one
who shall offer, give or receive a bribe,
the penalty to be disfranchisement for
any determined period.
There is said to be some talk among
the friends of General Grant in favor of
makiDg him Secretary of State. If this
is true, it is probably intended to pre
vent the appointment of Senator Blaine
to that position, the Grant faction being
bitterly hostile to him.
Costly Patriotism.
There was appropriated for the pay
ment of pensions for the current fiscal
year over $56,000,000, of which large
sum nearly $27,000,000, l>eing about one
half of the amount of appropriation, was
on account of the arrearage act. It now
appears that the extraordinary sum above
named is not sufficient to meet the re
quirements for pensions for the current
fiscal year, and that at least $18,000,000
or $20,000,000 additional will have to be
appropriated at the present session of
Congress to meet the anticipated de
ficiency. The Commissioner of Pensions
has recently settled and allowed claims
for pensions aggregating $3,000,000,
and checks for that amount have been
mailed from the Treasury. The dis
bursement of this sum will nearly ex
haust the entire amount appropriated for
pensions for the current fiscal year, and
make necessary a deficiency appropiia
tion in order to provide for the quarterly
payment due in March next. The large
reduction in the annual expenditures
secured ia the interest account by rea
son of refunding the public debt into 4
per cent, bonds will be more than coun
terbalanced by the enormous increase
occasioned by the arrearage pension act;
and, large as this increase is on this
account, it has not yet reached the maxi
mum.
As loyalty seems to be regarded at
the North in the light of a com
modity to be paid for in dollars
and cents, and as there seems to be
no limit to the demands on the gov
ernment for pensions, would it not be
well for Congress to put the matter at
rest by passing a bill declaring all males
born in the loyal States prior to the year
1850 entitled to a pension of eight dol
lars a month during their natural lives,
the pension to commence with the open
ing of the war in 1861? This might not
be exactly just, but it would put an end
to back claims and the yearly crop of
new pensioners. Besides, it would render
unnecessary a vast amount of lyiog and
other species of loyal villainy.
Cost of the Census. Secretary
Schurz will send to Congress a commu
nication from the Superintendent of the
Census asking for an additional appro
priation of $500,000 for the completion
of the census work and the publication
of the results. This will make the cost
of the census $3,500,000. The Superin
tendent reviews the causes which have
necessitated expenditures iu excess of
the plans of the Census Office.
These are the great rise in prices and
wages which occurred prior to the be
ginning of the census, involving a large
increase in the cost of field work; sec
ondly, the surprising growth of popula
tion during the decade, the census dis
covering a population two millions in
excess of the highest estimate of the
office; thirdly, the unexpected wealth of
opportunities found in the work of the
various special agents of the office, es
pecially in the departments of forestry,
mining, meat production, the fisheries,
wages and machinery, the factory sys
tem, the manufactures of iron and steel
and of textile fabrics, the cultivation of
cotton, tobacco, and the several cereal
crops, the social statistics of cities and
the statistics relating to the defective, de
pendent and delinquent classes.
The harshest reflections upon colored
Cadet Whittaker may be found in Re
publican papers. If any Democratic
sheet should be but one half so severe,
the whole Democratic party would be
immediately accused of "endeavoring to
overturn the results of the war.” The
following from the St. Louis Globe, Re
publican, is a sample of the reflections
referred to: “Whittaker’sidea is that the
War Department ought to accuse him
of slitting his own ears and then try
to prove it. If it fails to prove that he
did it, he should be considered as rein
stated, and an additional year given him
to make up bis studies in. This is a very
convenient idea for Mr. Whittaker, but
it is incorrect. The country is under no
obligation to do any such absurd favor
to him, but is, on the contrary, rapidly
inclining to look on him as a national
nuisance.”
The Superintendent of the Census, by
a very easy and accmate process, applies
the results of the tenth census to ascer
taining what the population of the coun
try will be in 1890. The approximation
gives 04,500,000 souls. These figures are
arrived at by what is called the method
of “second differences,” a well under
stood principle in statistical arithmetic,
by means of which the constant elements
in the progression of a population are
eliminated from those which are occa
sional and variable. The rate of in
crease between 1870 and 1880 is com
pared with that between 1860, and this
with that between 1850 and 1860, and
the “second differences - ’ used to check
off the ratio and equalize it. The results
obtained are very different from those
which are derived from the simple
striking of an average, and they are also
much more positive and certain.
“There is going,” says the Washington
Star, "to be a break for the office of
Marshal of the District of Columbia un
der President Garfield. It is known that
no less than three patriots want the place
and will work for it. The office is one
of the softest things in the Federal pat
ronage. It is worth six thousand dollars
a year, and, there being no whisky and
but little tobacco manufactured here,
the incumbent has a very easy time of it.
Marshall Douglass’ commission expires
shortly after March 4 next, his having
been one of the first nominations sent to
the Senate by President Hayes. Doug
lass did very efficient work in the cam
paign, and his influence may be strong
enough to secure a renomination. It is
said, however, that he will most likely
be sent abroad to represent the United
States.”
Prospects of a Dead Lock in Con
gress. —A Washington special to the
New Y'ork Post says: “The Democrats
are seriously alarmed lest they shall fail
of a working majority by reason of th
persistent neglect of duty by some of
their Representatives. Their leaders are
determined to pas 9 the Morgan electoral
count joint resolution, and to do this
they must have the vote of almost every
member of their party. The screws are
to be applied, and negligent members are
to be sharply dealt with. The Republi
cans say flatly that they will not let the
resolution pass, and it is altogether likely
that the present lull and ‘era of good
feeling’ will be succeeded by a bitter and
exciting political controversy. In that
case an extra session is almost unavoida
ble.”
There is evidently a.boom in Beecher
ism, not a very large one, perhaps, but
still an unmistakable boom, the sale of
seats in Plymouth Church having realized
SI,BBB more this year than last. The
amount would be sufficient to make
many a hard-working curate tearfully
joyful, but that class of clergymen do
not preach or practice the easy morals
of Mr. Beecher. Neither do they ex
pect their reward in this world.
NORTH AND SOUTH IN CONGRESS
Some Fienring on Ibe Apportion*
meat of Representation.
The Boston Advertiser has been figur
ing out the results as they would be dis
tributed among the several States, of a
Congressional apportionment under the
present census, and sums up as follows:
“The number 180,000 would only fur
ther take away three Northern and four
Southern members, the losing States be
ing Connecticut, Florida. Illinois, New
Y'ork, Virginia, West Virginia and Wis
consin. But the quota 190,000 would
further take away nine Northern and
only six Southern members, leaving 164
to the North and 97 to the South. That
is to say, if the South is willing to lose
nine of its present members, it can de
prive the North of twenty three of its
members. It can do still better by
giving up three more and taking
ten from the North by fixing the
quota at 200,000, If that were done,
the changes from the present representa
tion would be as follows: In the North
the losses would be: Maine 2, New
Hampshire 1, Vermont 1, Massachusetts
2. Rhode Isbnd 1, Connecticut 1, New
Y'ork 8, New Jersey 1, Pennsylvania 6,
Ohio 4, Michigan 1* Indiana 3, Illinois
4, Wisconsin i, lowa 1. Minnesota and
Nebraska would gain one each, and
Kansas two. In the South the losing
States would be: Alabama 2, Florida i,
Georgia 1, Kentucky 2, Louisiana 1,
Maryland 1, Missouri 2, North Carolina
1. Tennessee 2, Virginia 1. Texas would
gain two. Under such an apportion
ment, the majority of Northern mem
bers would be but 60. instead of 81, as
at present, and yet the membership of
the House would be reduced by only 45.
Starvation in Russia.
The reports of distress and destitution
in the great grain growing sections of
Russia increase in frequency and in
tensity, and of course cannot be alto
gether ill-founded. In these provinces
the rye crop, which yields the only
bread the peasantry ever eat, has been
reported as only sixty per cent, of an
average, while the potato crop has failed
almost as signally. The peasantry of
the communes, when they had paid their
taxes, seldom have more left over than
will keep them through the year and pro
vide seed for next year’s crops. It is
still impossible, however, to receive
without some grains of allowance the
report of the liussky Yedomosti that
there are 1,750,000 peasants either starv
ing or in absolute destitution in the two
provinces of Samara and Saratov.
These provinces, which are “govern
ments” in what is called the
“Czarate of Kasan,” are adjacent
to each other in the middle Volga re
gion, the great wheat growing section of
eastern Russia, Saratov being on the
west and Samara on the east bank of the
river. Two railroads, each a branch of
the Muscow system, pass through Sara
tov to the Volga. The continued popu
lation of the two provinces is only about
3,500,000, so that if the report by cable
be correct, one half of the entire popula
tion is starving. This would exceed the
proportion in the worst famines of India
and China. Besides their staple agricul
tural products, Samara and Saratov have
considerable manufactures both of hemp
and leather. The peasantry, however,
are in a wretched condition, and it is in
these provinces that the ravages of the
diphtheria have been most frightful.
The Maine Ice Citor.— I The good
luck of the Maine ice men in selling one
million ton 9 of their product, gathered
last winter, induced them to make prepa
rations for housing au enormous quan
tity of ice this season. The Maine pa
pers state that one million five hundred
thousand tons will be cut and stored this
winter on the Kennebec and Penobscot
rivers. Maine is particularly adapted for
carrying on the ice business on a large
scale. There is an unfailing supply and
an abundance of large vessels required
for sending it to market. It goes almost
over the world—cargoes have even been
sent to the East Indies. The dealers do
not fear competition from Norway, as no
ship can afford to go to that country for
ice unless confident of selling at five or
six dollars per ton in the United States.
They state that if it be true, as rumored,
that there are ten inches of ice in Vir
ginia, the price will not go above three
or four dollars at the most, freight in
cluded.
When such au intelligent and expe
rienced statesman as Lord Dufferin de
clares that in his opinion neither fair
rents, free sales nor fixity of tenure, nor
all three together, will meet the Irish
difficulty, and that peace cannot be re
stored by anything else than the depopu
lation of the island by means of a sys
tem of wholesale emigration based upon
government aid, the country must in
deed be in a deplorable condition. It is
as though a surgeon should say of a limb
that it is so diseased as to make amputa
tion imperative. Lord Dufferin, more
over, is not content with insisting upon
expatriating the Irish people by way of
reconciling them to British rule; he fur
ther declares that they must be sent to
Manitoba, willy-nilly.
The statistics gathered from the police
and health records for 1880, in the city
of New Y'ork, show a great increase in
crime. There were more murders, sui
cides and deaths from disease than ever
before in the history of the metropolis.
The deaths in the city amounted to 31,-
841, an increase over 1879 of 3,499. Of
these deaths, 1,331 were of a violent
character, an increase of 326 over 1879.
There were 71,699 arrests for all offenses
during the year. This is a fearful show
ing. There are 4,880 drinking saloons
in the city. Of marriages, there were
9,773, and of births 27,493. The chief
eauscs of death were consumption, bron
chitis, pneumonia, Bright’s disease and
heart disease.
Robbed by Women. —William H.
Thompson, of Grand street, Williams
burgh, while passing the house at 101
Forsyth street, on the evening of the
20th ult., heard a noise in the hallway.
A woman appeared in the doorway in
what seemed to be a state of alarm. She
wrung her hands and looked back over
her shoulder. Then she extended her
arm imploringly toward Thompson and
cried, “Help! help! The woman is
dying!” Thompson followed her into
the hallway. The door was slammed
behind him, and several women seized
him and rifled his pockets, taking $26.
Then the door was* thrown open and he
was hustled into the street. Ida Berger,
who lured him into the hallway with her
feint of distress, was arrested. She was
tried yesterday in the General Sessions,
and convicted of petty larceny, Judge
Gildereleeve sentenced her to the peni
tentiary for one year, the full term.—
New York Sun, sth.
Back from Kansas.— A Dallas eorres
pondent of the Galveston News says:
“Five families of negroes, crowded in
three wagons, passed through here yes
terday, en route to their former homes
in Robertson county, from Kansas, where
they emigrated last fall during the Kan
sas fever. They were a wretched, pov
erty stricken set. Thirty eight went to
Kansas in this gang and only twenty
seven returned, the others having died
there of disease superinduced by expo
sure and hunger.”
There is a large cave on the Dry Fork
of Arrow creek, in the Belt Mountains,
Montana, which contains a mass of solid
ice half an acre in superficial area, aDd,
as yet, of uuknown depth. This cave is
a great resort for game of all kinds.
May it not be possible that the ice-form
ing nature of certain caves in prehistoric
times attracted to such caves the various
animals whose remains discovered within
this century have thrown some, though
on the whole a rather unsatisfactory and
very incomplete light, upon the state of
our globe seons ago?
THE DIVISION OF TEXAS.
A Home Prediction that It will be
Accomplished at the Next Term of
the Legislature.
Austin ( Texas) Review.
The division of the territory of Texas
into four new additional States is ex
pressly provided for by the joint resolu
tion for annexir g Texas to the United
Slates. Until Texas is divided, or until
the contracting parties concur in striking
out the stipulation for division, the di
vision will hang as a perpetual menace to
the integrity, or rather to the entirety, of
our State. Will it be stricken out? We
think not. Will a division be made? We
think it will, by the next Legislature, in
January or February next, and for the
following very obvious reasons: The
political party in power in Texas is the
Democratic party. That party brought
about the annexation of Texas and made
the division one of the conditions of the
annexation of Texas. It expressly pro
vided in the joint resolution referred to
that Texas might be divided into four
new additional States. The condition
precedent to such division as stated are
that such States shall be of “convenient
size,” that they shall have “sufficient
population,” and shall organize by the
consent of Texas—not by the consent of
the United States Government, for that
is given in advance—is contracted for
by the terms of the joint resolution,
which says that such States “shall be
entitled to admission under the Federal
Constitution.” Since a portion of New
Mexico has been relinquished, in consid
eration of $10,000,000, to the United
States, it is contended that Texas can,
by consenting to the organization thereof,
create only three new additional States.
This is a mistake. By that compromise,
we are informed, the right to make four
new States is reserved. It is the lack of
population only that restricts the number
to three at this time.
We infer that those new States will be
created at the next session of our Legis
lature for the following reasons:
1. Because the Democracy, which has
the power to do so, will not do so much
as promise to make a division impossi
ble, by acting itself, and getting Con
gress to act concurrently, as has been
suggested.
2. Because our Democratic politicians
want to get leading offices, which they
cannot get by any other mqve.
3. Because our Democratic politicians,
both at home and abroad, want to get
control of the United States Senate for
the next four years, and can only do so
by sending six new Democratic Senators
to that body from three additional States
created out of the territory of Texas.
To effect the division the United States
Government (having consented already)
has nothing to do. To defeat it, if it be
judiciously made, that government can
do nothing. The matter lies entirely in
the control of Texas, and Texas is gov
erned by the Democratic party. To ac
complish the division the Legislature of
Texas has only to lay off out of its am
ple territory three additional States, each
of which will be shown by the late cen
sus to be entitled to two Representa
tives in Congress. It can do that by a
joint resolution. A vote of the people
in the first instance is not required. To
make the measure popular, that joint
resolution would need to provide: That
each new State on organizing should have
one fourth part of the domain of Texas
and of all the funds and lands
heretofore dedicated to public uses, and
should be responsible for one-fourth of
the public debt. The people would or
ganize the new States accordingly. To
make it a certainty that they would do
so, our politicians need only to urge each
new State to adopt the Texas constitu
tion of 1845. That constitution is better
than the one Texas now has. It has
been tried for years; and has worked well
in practice. What recommends it above
all things is that it was in 1845 accepted
by Congress as being republican in form,
and hence cannot be rejected now. As
it provides for fewer offices and lower
salaries, the people of each new State
would be inclined to vote for it if it was
a measure of retrenchment and reform.
THE CLEMENT ATTACHMENT.
•
A Practical Application of it to the
Wants of the People.
Charleston yews a nd Courier.
Mr. George M. Cornelson, of Orange
burg, was in the city yesterday. He is
the proprietor of the new cotton factory
at OraDgeburg, which is now in active
operation.
The factory is worked upon the Clem
ent attachment plan, and cost about
$20,000. It is the sole property of Mr.
Cornelson, who has displayed wonderful
energy and perseverance in placing the
enterprise firmly upon its legs, in the
face of many discouragementsr
The factory has four attachments and
one thousand two hundred and twenty
four spindles, all of which are now run
ning every day. It is operated by thirty
-hands under the supervision of Mr.
Hicks, who had charge of the first fac
tory of this kind started in the State by
Mr. Stribling at Westminster. Mr. Hicks
has also had experience at the Camper
down Mills in Greenville and is
thoroughly competent to manage this
enterprise. The hands under him were
chosen with a view to their capacity,
and have had experience in spinning
at the LaDgley and Greenville Mills.
The spinners are paid fifteen cents a side
of one hundred and two spindles and
can earn about sixty cents a day; the
spoolers, reelers and carders earn from
twenty five to seventy-five cents a day.
The* machinery is operated by a sixty
horse power engine from the George
Page & Cos. Works in Baltimore. The
factory consumes two bales or about
two thousand pounds of seed cotton a
day, or six hundred bales during the
year. Mr. Cornelson pays from three
to three and one half cents per pound
for the seed cotton delivered at the
factory. The yarn is worth from twen
tv-four to twenty eight cents per pound.
The profits are estimated at fifty dollars
a day.
Mr. Cornelson is satisfied that the
factory will pay handsomely, and if the
profits warrant he will increase the
capacity of the mill. He estimates that
he will have to buy $30,000 worth of
cotton a year, and if the capacity of the
mill is increased there will of course be
a correspondingly increased consump
tion.
Y'ellow Fever at Guayaquil.—
Says a Panama dispatch : A rigid
quarantine is now maintained on the
coast of Peru of all vessels and steamers
which touch at Guayaquil on the voyage
south. This is on account of yellow
fever in Guayaquil, which some time
ago was said to have been very wide
spread and fatal there. Thirty deaths a
day were reported at one time. The
disease is now disappearing. Notwith
standing this the steamer Islay is now
anchored off Payta in quarantine. The
steamers of the company will, until
further orders, not call at Guayaquil on
the voyage south. Communication to
that important point will be restricted to
the small steamer Casme, which makes
monthly voyages to the coast of Ecua
dor.

Americau wheat hits the French farm
er as hard as the English. Maurice
Black, high French authority, says that
wheat at $5 60 for 100 kilograms, 220
pounds, leaves the French farmer no
profit, and American wheat is now sold
at Havre for somewhat less than this
price.
