And so it is that first, having in contempt of law assumed to make citizens of States, the next step is to take care of them in equal contempt of law and establish a dual government—one carefully selected, to make np this charming I £or *h® ordinary citizen and another for the ex little bouquet, the choicest flowers of song from and privileged citizen-the special the writings of such popular authors is Beran- ger, Lamartine, Victor Hugo, De Musset, Girar- din, Gautier, and many others (less known in America,) liko Baudelaire, Chenier, Pamy, Nadaud, Dupont, De la Vigne, and Saint Beuve.

Yanoa is severely criticised by Demo cratic Senators for sot resigning and allowing a Democrat to be elected who will be allowed to take his seat. They are sure that his dtoMB- ties will not be removed.—Washington dUpatch to LouimUe Ledger, 25th. And he ought to be. His condnot in clutch ing after what is palpably beyond his reach— meanwhile standing in the place of another good Democrat who might reach for and grasp what Yance cannot—is in the highest degree reprehensible. It is an injury to himself, to the people he seeks to represent, and to the cause of Right in its battle with Wrong, in that it keeps one more recruit from being added to the ranks of those who fight for Right in the United States Senate. We do not believe that Gov. Vance’s course has the approval of Ms constituents, and it is certainly not in accord with the pledge he was said to have made them when they elected Mm—viz: that if he failed by January, to have his disabilities removed, he would resign and let them eleot another man. who could take his seat at onoe. We honor Governor Vanoe for what’he has been and what he has done in the past, and we do specially commend his manly utteranoes to Fomey when charged by that Hessian with dis loyalty for not being sorry for his acts as a “ rebel,” but all this neither condones his pres ept conduct nor seems sufficient reason tons why he should be spared criticism and reproof there for. We hope he will promptly resign and let the Legislature of North Carolina send some gal lant, true son, more fortunate than he In being in a position to at once reinforce the Democrats of the Senate in their pending fight against the last and most desperate scheme of the Jaoobin conspirators to destroy the Constitution, and degrade and ruin the people of the South. The New York Express says that “property to the amount of over a thousand millions of dollars passes through the New York Custom House every year.” And yet, incredible as It may seem, not more than six or eight or ten millions of it are annually stolen.—Oourier- Joumal. Planting ana Farming. A traveling correspondent of the St. Louis Republican writes a3 follows to that journal, from the city of New Orleans. His letter dated last Thursday : The South Poob.—The South is not recuper ating, as was expected, but is poorer than ever. This will be the case as long as tMs generation lives. The fame of the planter is a poor thing. It don't pay, and will be abolished in tho South when the present generation is gone aad not before. Farmers are tho only people that can do anything in tMs country. A planter is a splendid humbug, and can do more and make less than any class of men we can have. A far mer will make Ms living and have cotton to sell besides, but a planter cannot make anything except cotton and has his living to bny, wMch keeps him poor. But as I have said, there are no fanners in this country and no material to make them. The die is cast and this generation is doomed—doomed to die poor and give their places to others who will rebel against King Cotton and cultivate this fruitful land in a way that tho monied wealth of the Union will con centrate here. It would be a bad tMng, how ever, for the States in -the upper part of the valley if the people should change their old habits. As things now are, the entire value of the cotton crop, except what goe3 to the East, goes above to enrich the farmers in the States along the Ohio and Upper Mississippi rivers. By proper management^ these things, except bacon, could all ~ be produced here and the money would not go to your section but remain in the South for manufacturing the cotton into dry goods. In the course of time the thing will be done, bqt all of us will be gone before the change is made. There is much truth and force inwhattM3 writer says. It is, indeed, little else than what the Telegbaph has been constantly urging upon its readers for the past three or four yoais— when cotton was high as well as now it is low for the fact of price made no great practical difference—the balance on the year’s operations was bound to be, in most cases, an empty pocket any way. For, when planters have every tMng to bny but cotton, they will naturally buy lav ishly or sparingly, just in proportion to the means they have in hand. And it is a singular faot that tho prices of what they have to buy seem to be graduated by the price of cotton. Generally speaking, bacon ranges alongside of cotton—not far from pound for pound—and travels with it up and down the scale. Mules and com follow suit os nearly a9 they can, and so with many other articles. Con sequently, when receipts from cotton are heavy, supplies are liberally purchased at correspond ing prices, and when they are light, purchases are light at comparatively low prices. The sit uation seems to be adjusted exactly to “size the planter’s pile,” be it great or small. And that tMs has been the practical opera tion is easily shown by the faot that little or nothing better than debt is left from the pro ceeds of all past crops sold even at the highest prices, and thus, at this day, the South is poor, (as this correspondent says,) after having pro duced and marketed since the war hardly less than fifteen hundred million dollars' worth of cotton! All the profits on this enormous pro duct have, as he says, gone to enrich the traders of the East and North and “the farmers along the OMo and Upper Mississippi rivers.” In these classes might also be included the Railroads, to wMch this insane poliny has fom iehed an enormous carrying trade at Mgh rates —for when people import all they eat and wear, and send abroad all they produce from the ground, it is bound to open np a wonderful freighting bumness; and then people become so mad to swell it and avail themselves of it, that a perfect mania sets in to mortgage the public credit in order to bnild more railways at the risk of the tax-payers, that the latter may pay them still more enormous freight bills at extravagant rates. What is to become of some of these investments when we cease to supply our tables and stables from Cincinnati and St Louis ? It will be as bad a thing for them as it will be for the WeBtem fanners. And this correspondent says existing genera* tions must die out before there can be a change! We hope not Indeed, we know it cannot be true; for the planters must have either money or credit to continue this policy, and affairs have now come to that pass when cotton-grow ing will not afford either the money or the credit to enable the planter to purchase supplies from abroad. Hard and bitter neoessity is al ready stopping it We have got to raise what wo eat, for the simple reason that wo can no longer buy it, and every year’s product of cot ton will increase our poverty in a oompound ratio unless it is a concomitant of food crops wMch obviate the necessity of bnying our sup plies from the West.

They talk of running ex-Secretary Cox for Pres ident on p. basis of Free Trade and Civil Service Reform. The Cincinnati Commercial, however, suggests Charles Francis Adams and Gen. Jas. A. Garfield.

THE HAST LOriSVIIXE SENSATION. A Three Bays’ Trance—Startling; Predic tions—Stand From Under, Everybody. The Louisville Ledger, of Friday last, gives the particulars of a first class sensation now agitating the • gossip and wonder mongers of that city, wMch certainly are higHy seasoned enough to suit even the greediest hungerer after such food. It seems that, on last Monday week, a young German woman, named Carolina Kte- bert, aged nineteen, who lives on Shelby street, between Main and Market, was thrown into a trance, the second one with wMoh she has been visited; the first coming on at the age of four teen years, and lasting bat ono day. At that time she is said to have predicted the present attack, and accurately foretold the timeatwMoh it would commence, and the length of time it would last. On the ooeasion of her first attack, she also predicted a third and last visitation, to come on in exactly seven years from the pres ent ono, and to end in her death. The present trance lasted from eight in the morning till eight in tho evening, at wMch time consciousness returned, and she remained in her normal condition until Wednesday morning at eight o’clock, when she relapsed and continued insensible until five in the afternoon. At eight Thursday morning tho last of tMs series -of trances commenced, and terminated at nine that night. While in tMs trance state, she has been, to all appearances, totally unconscious of every thing transpiring around her, lying perfectly passive, and in a seeming comatose condition, with the exception of ocoasional spasms, of such violence as to require the exertions of sev eral persons to hold her. She does not appear to be in pain, and occasionally talks, but with out coherence, in English and German. Some times she would sing snatches of familiar song, bnt without paying much attention to either words or musio. Just before nine o’clook she began to sing “Home Again,” passing from that to “Sweet Home,” and closing with the well- known Methodist hymn, “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing.” It is said that during the day Mrs. Klebert, with her eyes closed, would call thenamaof each person entering the room— some of themperfect strangers to her. She also' indulged liberally in prophecy. Among other things, she predicted a wet spring, a hot, dry summer, and a dreadful epidemic of some new and fatal sickness, wMch will inevitably carry off all attacked, and cause the people to fall like autumn leaves before its dreadful walk. All attacked will die inevitably, and* in a few hours. There is to be another European war in 1872, to wMch tho recent conflicts will be a mere cir cumstance. Nothing so dreadfol as this war has ever been known on earth. She had announced that precisely at nine o’clock she would come out of the trance, and precisely at two minutes past that hour die opened her eyes, cleared her room of the re porter, and a perfeot jam of sympathetic—C e. curious—souls of the feminine gender—of course—and announced her intention to go for THE GEORGIA PRESS.

The peculiar distinctions and privileges ex< tended to the negro race under the Radical Ad ministration of the United States, inspire the Herald correspondents with a new desire to trace up a common origin and lineage with Africanus, and hence a claim to his superiol privileges, immunities, protection and so on; but we don’t see how they will do it. If they succeed in tracing the broadly divergent lines back at last to a common centre in Father Adam and Mother Eve, let them reflect that the relationsMp so established is too remote—it is not like that of the Dents—it is not entitled to political consideration. Gen. Grant would say: “Gentlemen, take any wMte pair yon ever knew or heard of and let them claim the common parentage of chil dren wMte as snow and black as the ace of spades—don’t yon see that nobody would be lieve, though they* were to swear it ? The day of miracles is past. Mrs. Eve might have owned young Zip Goon, not mentioned in Genesis, and as black as the ace of spades—the creature of what Mrs. Partington used to eall “a speshul dispensary,” but oommon sense tells us nothing of that Uni has happened since; and my rule is never to recognize officially claims of relation sMp beyond nineteenth oouslns by marriage. You can’t get into the royal family of Jets in that way.” We say, therefore, to the Herald— it is too late to set up these claims to a common origin with the negro. They are barred by the statute of limitations. Affairs in France. The morning despatches report the Revolu tionists in full possession of Paris and the red flag flying everywhere. They are organizing an army of sixty battalions qf infantry, cavalry and artillery, and have empowered their sub-oom- mittee to levy contributions on the people at will. Marseilles has also declared for the Rev olutionists. On the other hand, the Thiers government are organizing an army of assault on Paris at Versailles, and expect to be in readiness to make an assault in eight days. Moreover, a Prussian force of forty thousand men were expected at Versailles to-day, and we suppose, will co-ope rate in the effort to reduce the Reds to order.
