Fbaucs.—The announcement that the French government is summon ing citizens of Franco resident in foreign countries to return home and do military service is suggestive. The defeat of woman suffrage in England by only tho close vote of IK7 to 152 is a noted event of tho times.

It reaches this conclusion by the fact that Beecher tried to reflect discredit upon Mrs. Moulton because, with gontlo sympathy, she tried to com fort him in his anguish by kissing Ids forehead. We are inclined to agree with the Enterprise. Tub present difficulty experienced by borrowers in getting advances, re minds us of a remark made by the late Baron Rotachild. On boing told by a borrower that money was very source, lie replied; "Money has never been so plentiful us at present, nor securities so weak.” The broad collateral of character seems “played out” as a commodity in tliis locality. Tub spinners and the employers in the cotton factories at Lowell con tinue to be, at outs, and tho broach between them is apparently widen ing. If their (erms are not acceded to many of the spinners declare they will return to England, while the mill owners say that if they can not 1111 their places, they will close their es ments rather than yield. The Senator states that Senator Cameron expected to pay for the coal used by the steamer, and other ex penses incurred by the party. The vessel was in commission, and it would, therefore, have cost tho gov ernment no more whether tho vessel was at sea or at anchor. With duo deference to Senator Morton, wo beg leaVe to suggest that if tlie vessel was not needed for tho. public use it could have been put out of commis sion.— Washington Chronicle. Thebe is a bill before the New York Senate empowering it to remove any Secretary of State, Comptroller, Treasurer, Attorney General, State Engineer and Surveyor, Canal Com missioner, or State Prison Inspector for misconduct or malversation in of fice, giving to sueli officer a copy of the charges against him and an op portunity of being heard in his de fence before any removal shall be made. The Governor also has the power to fill the vacancies thus cre ated. The Canal Ring is working hard to defeat the measure. Gov. Tlldon is tho best Governor New York has had since the war. The flagrant disregard of all justice on the part of the Radicals is found in the Radical State of Rhode Island. That State requires a property quali fication to tlie extent of one hun dred and thirty-four dollars worth of real estate before a man can vole. Ho may boas rich as A, T. Stewart, but unless ills riches embrace that amount of real ostato he can not vote. If it is a good law for Rhode Island it is a better one for Georgia. It would either disqualify a large number of colored voters, or it would cause them to get up early, work late, and obey the divine injunction “Six days slialt thou labor.” At present they won’t work on Saturdays. The Boston Herald, in reference to the Presidential aspirations for a third term, says: The people who think it impossible for President Grant to get a nomina tion for a third term have not looked at the figures. There will bo 369 votes in the convention. Of these the sixteen Southern States will have 138. Grant could get all these to-day. and forty-eight more would give him a majority. A nomination don’t mean an elec tion. however. - -• THH llri*lNF>N OUTLOOK. The letters published by the, New York Herald from differonl part- of the country, that journal t hinks, are reassuring. We do not see why this opinion should prevail, except that it is based on the fact that it would be difficult foi* business affairs to lie in a worse condition, und must speedily improve. Agriculture lias not prospered in any of the great, sections of the country, except the Pacific slope, Since tho panic of *73. The iron industry is exceedingly flat; and cotton manufacturers assert that they have made nothing during the past year. In Virginia, it is stated that there is not enough money in the banks to carry on its ordinary trade. Tho letter from Wilmington states thut “the past year has been without profit to producers and manufactu rers of naval stores, and such specu lations as have been entered into have, as a rule, resulted in loss,” and the naval store trade, we know, Is Hie main source of wealth of Wilming ton. The handsome new stores in Boston, as in Chicago, indicate the enterprising character of the people; but. rents are lower in both cities, and large numbers of stores, and these among the finest, are not occupied. The samo thing is true in New York. “About 33 per cent, of the houses on Broadway are either partially or wholly to let,” says the World. Until good govern me lit is restored pros perity con not return. Meanwhile, business ail over the country is being conducted less oil speculative hopes than formerly, and is steadily ap proaching a sound basis. In New York city there is great dis content among the laboring classes. Painters, plumbers, cigar makers, brown stone rubbers, Longshoremen, all are striking for higher wages. Couple this statement with that of the miners’ war in Pennsylvania, ami the decline of values everywhere throughout the country, and it does not seem very promising for the business interests of the near future. A general lack of confidence pre vails everywhere. Yet all feel that there is greater safety in ail commer cial transactions now than lias existed since the war. This is due to greater caution, not to greater prosperity. • * The cost of the State government of Louisiana for 1K73, as illustrated by the State appropriations, is as fol lows : Governor's salary $ B,oofl Governor's contingent expenses.. 10,000 Private secretary 2,500 (’ierks . 8,808 Porter and messengers I.SOu Total $27,300 In 1860 the entire expense of the Ex ecutive Department, including the Governor’s salary, was 110,560, or about the same sum which Kellogg absorbs for “contingencies.” “The injunction granted restrain ing the State auditorium from allow ing forged and excessive appropria tions will save haif a million dollars to tho State." .llatiaiitu Post office Frauds. Spencer’s friend, ,L .T.

At a recent meeting in Chicago of a committee of the “Grand Army of the Republic,” which holds its next an nual session in Chicago, Gen. Stiles submitted the following resolution, which was adopted: Resolved, That a general invitation be extended to all surviving soldiers of the late war throughout the coun try, east west, north and soutli, to meet with us at our forthcoming re union, and that the committee on in vitations, be instructed to extend per sonal invitations, ns far as practicable, to such of them as in the opinion of the committee have national reputa tion as soldiers. The Oiilnlon of the Niew York Herald. Why does the telegraph give us daily tlie opinion of tile Herald, when the Herald manifestly does not know its own opinion? In proof of this assertion we give below two tele grams received concerning the pros pective European war: New York, April 10.- The Herald this morning, discusses at length editorially the war cloud in Europe, and considers that a renewal of tin war between Germany and France would involve other nations. Tin cause of this state of uproar is that the late Franco-Prussian war was an unjust war and ended in unjust peace. Germany’s attitude towards Belgium is threatening and tho Herald argues that Germany fearing to offeud civili zation by direct war on France, will precinitate a conflict with Belgium. An attack upon Belgium is an attack upon France, and that would proba bly bring to one side or the other as allies England, Russia and Italy. The next war in Europe will be a war of allies, and the Herald predicts that Germany’s next, victory will not bo easily won. New York, April 13. The Herald. commenting on the war cloud in Eu rope, after reviewing tlie situation, says: “If the power of Germany is to be*broken by war experiments of tlie present generation, it will not be of tho combination now threatened. Russia lias good reason to keep out of the quarrel with Germany. Bis marck’s menace to Belgium is signifi cant. Great Britain guarantees Bel gium’s neutrality, and any quarrel j between Prussia and Belgium would involve Great Britain in an expedi tion to Prussia. In such an event Russia would certainly be found on the side of Prussia and against Great Britain. ” The Herald concludes: “It is doubtful, however, if Germany cares for war. All the rulers of Eu rope are desirous of peace. The present cloud, probably, was raised mainly for effect, with Prussian lim its, to silence the revolutionists and anti-nationalists.” “Democrats don’t want Bastiles. I Ali they want is a little ballot-box j with a hole in the top.” So says j Gov. Allen of Ohio, and we hope the i fog-horn which that excellent gentle man’s voice is said to be like unto, will make Itself heard in nil the peo i pie’s ears. . From on of our correspondent*. The Future of the Negro as It Hears ripen thr industries of the (south. We do not deem the discussion of this subject as In any way connected with, or influenced by, that of any immigration. The results of immi gration will only develop themselves when the problem of the negro’s so journ in the Cotton States shall have lieon worked out by natural process es. No one will deny but tlint the relation of tho negro to cotton cul ture greatly altered when emancipa tion clothed him with rights and im munities which he was incapacitated to assume. And by this assertion we do not mean to infringe upon the question of free labor as applied to cotton culture. Under more favor able circumstances than the recon struction-cursed South lias labored under since the war could this have been exemplified, and its results sub mitted to the scrutiny of t he political economist. But so various have been the laws imposed upon tho South by a partisan Congress, and so fraught with agitation their operation, that society has suffered, while its most vital interests have been disturbed by causes growing out of the political elevation of tho negro. So long as the dull, plodding negro was master ed by the superior intelligence of tlie white race, iiis labor was lucra tive to the proprietor. When this relation was disturbed by the edicts of a Radical Congress, correspond ingly the entire labor system of the South subverted, and made depend ent upon the caprice and option of the negro for its perpetuation, or con tinuance. Under this condition of things does the Soutli discover that while her Northern and Western neighbors are growing rich out of her misguided efforts at recupera tion, she is gradually, but surely, lie- coming weaker and poorer, in the same proportion as the option to la bor, or not to labor, possessed by the negro, is gaining upon a formerly well-ordered system of agriculture. True, the same laws affect the North and West as operate upon us; only with the difference that the South alone is in possession of that popula tion upon whom such laws have wrought the direst political and in dustrial disturbances. In refering to the labor system of tins South some may urge the all cotton side of the question, to the neglect of tho provision crops, as most Influencing our present depress ed financial condition. Wo do not regard this ns solely tho cause. There is yet a power behind this which lias impelled the planter to his utmost efforts at cotton produc tion in order that he might save him self from a general collapse in all his interests. This system, or mode, has been but a struggle to reach a very distant goal. Prospective results are delusive; and the sanguine and help less planter is yearly impelled to attempt to regain losses, and get out of debt when ho knows he is becoming more impoverished, by such efforts. To Sum up this part of the matter til© thriftless, but ever hungry negro, has come out of the race a. little ahead of tho white spec ulator; tlw negro has been provisioned, and owes no debts, whereas the planter is in debt, and deeply mortgaged for that which has passed into consump tion on the farm account. But as to the future of the negro as it bears upon the industries of the Soutli. Historical precedents are worth nothing in this question when applied to the,South. Here tho ne gro lias imbibed, to some extent, a Southern civilization, and his future must be determined by a perpetua tion of the dominant influences of tlie white race, or by a gravitation from sucii anchorage to a status which liis natural instincts shall de termine for him. This latter can be accomplished only by granting to the negro as a race that freedom of ac tion which would determine a choice in consonance with his natural pro clivities. This choice, or option, has been assured him by tho Reconstruc tion and Civil Rights bills. These are accomplishing for the negro a destiny which is yet in embryo—that of segregation, or a gravitation to a common territory, in which t litit ideal of liberty which they seem to so much crave, can lie fully realized. Cotton culture must of necessity be vastly influenced l>y these natural combinations. Its tendency will be to shrinkage, with higher prices for the amount produced, attended with i a healthful revival of the provision ! interests of the country. When tho I negro population becomes less by emigration to tlie more Western States, then will there be less stimu lus to produce large cotton crops. This conservatism will cause an im mediate absorption by speculation of all surplus cottons on the world’s market. Cotton production alone possesses that basis for credit neces sary to feed a large negro population, j The agriculture of all white popula tions, as in Belgium, France, Germa ny, and other European countries, is always more conservative than that practiced through the manipulation ot, the inferior races. Then it follows ns a logical sequence that as those countries which are worked by con servative white labor are rich and prosperous, that a system of labor based upon speculative agriculture, with no rotation of crops, must grad ually fail on account of its own inert ness, or utter incapacity to productive results. Then in the present condi tion of things is the process inchoate ; which must determine the future of! the negro in the cotton States. In a future article we shall endeavor i to point out the means for the indus trial renovation of the South. Quii.liam. Amid the crash of matter and tlie wreck of worlds the grand old State of Rogues’ Island, which requires men to own property before they can vote; which polls fewer votes than Cincinnati,*and which is owned body and breeches by the Tariffites anil Cotton lords, stands by the Republi can party.

HOW THE GOVERNMENT OOT POSSESSION or IT-—THE CLAIM or THE LEE FAMILY , A VALID ONE. Couununiottted to It.: N. V. World.J As Mr. Ciistis died in 1857, it is I scarcely possible that even u member of tho Philadelphia Union League would endeavor to attack the suspi cion of “disloyalty” to his skirts. Mrs. M. A. It. Lee, a femme covert, thus had a life estate in this property in August, 1861, when Congress pass ed the bill imposing direct tux upon insurrectionary districts. Under that ; act Virginia was taxed $937,522, and ■ tho tax levied upon the Arlington es- i tate was put at $92, Further acts of, Congress and regulations of the Tax , Commissioners under these acts were I promulgated, and finally, in 1861, the , Arlington estate, long since in the possession of the Government, was ! sold for this tax bill of $92 07, and by order of President Lincoln, bought, t in for the Government for “war, mil- 1 itary, charitable and educational pur- ; poses,” under tlie act of February o,; 1863, which, however, was never paid ! nor even tendered to any person. Mrs. Lee, at tho time of sale, ns also at the time of advertising, was inside the Confederate lines, where her duty as femme covert constrained her to 'be. ’ Nevertheless, when the Arlington property was offered for sale in default of taxes, a tender of the amount duo was made by Mrs. Leo’s connections in Baltimore and Washington. This tender the Com missioners refused to accept, having ruled that no taxes, under the act of August 5, 1871, could be paid, unless the tender was made by the immedi ate owner of the property in person. So, that, under this preposterous rul ing, if a property belonging to an infant three weeks old, were taxed, he could not appear by guardian, but must be fetched up in his nurse’s arms, with the tax-bill and tin; money grasped in his chubby fist. In this way the Government got possession of this estate, worth $300,- UUO. It has held possession of it ever since. About two hundred acres of tho estate has been converted into a I national cemetery; the remainder' has been leased to frccdinen or other wise used by tlie government. It is a matter of record that the United States courts have set aside every sale of property and declared every title to fie worthless which was acquired under the rulings of these Virginia Tax Commissioners. It is certain, and has been so decided by the Supreme Court, that no law is operative (because no law is consti tutional), whieti requires the entire tract to bo sold for taxes when it can be divided and the taxes and the charges realized by the sale of a part of the tract. It is certain, undo, mat ter of record, that no title can be made valid where the proof is wanting that the amount of tax due was tendered and refused to be received by the Commissioners because not, tendered by the owner in person. It, is certain that any such ruling as this makes all sales under it. null and void. It is certain that tlie United States can not acquire title to land in any State and jurisdiction over it, wit bout, first obtaining the consent of that State. It is certain that, even if it were possible fortiie United States to do all these impossible, because uncon stitutional. things, Hie only thing which tlie United States could ac quire title to, because the only tiling vendible, was Mrs. Mary Ann Ran dolph Lee's life estate in Arlington. But the estate expired with Mrs. Lee’s death in November, 1873, and tlie United States is now, without law, decency or common sense, withhold lag from G. W. Custis Lue what was once his remainder of revision, but is now his absolute property for him self and heirs in the estate of his forefathers. Mr. Lee does not wish to regain the property, but. to exchange for a quit claim title,-i reasonable sum represent ing its value at t.ho time of seizure, and this the Judiciary Commit tee of the Senate, upon facts bore presented, has refused him. I say this mode, of procedure lacks the support of de cency and common sense, as well as of law, for this reason: Mr. Custis Leo, or his children or grandchildren, are certain to lie paid for this proper ty some day or other, and wlmt can now be settled for two or three hon ored thousand dollars will lie certain eventually to cost millions. Lot the New York Herald ponder on the above facts. Not a Southern State exists that has not been robbed by the great, party of "moral ideas.” Our lacerated hilt sides speak of the atrocious cotton tax, and our impov erished people still cry “peace, peace, when there is no peace.” The Miners. One of the results of the war is the miners’ strike in Pennsylvania. One of these unfortunate men, no doubt speaking tlie minds of many of his comrades, thus complains: “Only give us tlie same treatment, tlie darkies in the Soutli received pre vious to the war give us plenty to eat, a good bed place, and provide for our children anu for ourselves, when we get aged and infirm we will be satisfied. But the Philadelphia and Reading Coal ami Iron Company will not do half of this. We want to be honest, but it will not allow us leave to live. We want to work and get our wages; we do uoi, ask to be permitteii j to toil and yet have .to steal to sustain existence. How many smokers know what the brands on the cases of Havana cigars mean ?
