Hays the Han Francisco Call:
“Doubtless a lurgo portion of the

rived from it Is concerned. It has
been created to pay subsidies to rail
roads, and on pretence of carrying
on some system of Internal improve

gone into the pockets of a ring of
contractors. Now the States repu
diates; the family of State is dis
graced, and American credit injured
abroad. Yet we hear of none of
these plunderers being brought to
punishment.
The New York Saw revives “The
History of the Army of tho Cumber
land” ‘‘written by Rev. Thos. Van-
Horue, U. 8. A.” The said Van
Horne proposes to carry out Gen. Geo.
H. Thomas’ instructions viz, “write
nothing but the truth.” Hut the
review alluded to nhove containing
oopious extrats of the volume, loads
us to think that Lord Orford was
right when he said “Quote we not
history for that I know to be a lie.”
The important tact well known to
all who were opposed to that
‘■Army of tho Cumberland” during
the time mentioned in the above his
tory-.that at no time the Army of
the Cumberland numbered less than
six times that of the Confederate
Army opposed to it has been pur
posely omitted. Home day both
Shannon and Van Horne will be prop

r A Tiers Party ImislMe.
Tho*per!msnt of* third pdlitioal
party would he excwdlngly unfortu
nate just now. There Is no possibili
ty of sMOLe^jiattending the yent'tge.
In limes of such great political ex
uilenient, as tile present, there is no
room for but two great, parties. The
experiment was fully tried and with
most Jimislreim results wilOU Gi'Culy
was supported by a party composed
of the dlsaffiicrted of both {lolllieal
parties. Tho Houtb in that issuo was
impelled more by tho desire to exhib
it a conoiUatoiy disposition and to ac
knowledge the results of tiio war
Rian from any conviction as to its
wisdom. The most recent proof of
tho impolicy of attempting “le joule
milieu";the middle course) in polities
is tho crushing defeat of the Indc
pendents jn California. That issue
proved that there is no room for an
independent organization in the next
oleotioo.
Tho Democratic party received a
bare majority over both Republicans
and Independents, leading a majority
over both oomblned of 30,000. There
must boa fusion of the dissatisfied of
each of (tie great parties, but this
“fusion” will amount to determined
allegiance to one of those parties.
People must now throw aside all mi
nor objections and east their lot eith
er with Democrats or Republicans.
In the South, It is hardly necessary
to say, the whites will not only act as
a unit with the Democracy, but will
strive.to break up the blind allegi
ance of the colored people to the Rad
ical party uod brltjg them in the
Democratic fold.
The Interests of the two races are
identical, tho results of the war have
been universally accepted by tho
whites, and no one would deprive tho
negroes of one partlcl oof their legal
rights if lioeould. The colored man
has his share of common sense, and
will ultimately find out that his con
dition is much better in tho States
under Democratic rule, than in those
where Northern Radicals, or South
ern renegades hold power that they
may defraud the people, and, like
Bullock, carry Northward their ill
gotten gains.
. ♦ .
The UmlaloiiH Census.
The result of the Louisiana census
places the population of the State
at 859,345, an increase of 127,475. We
do not believe that this census is ac
curate. If it is, it is discretable to
that of Saturday. The N. Y, World
says of it:
“Serious fruud or serious blunders
must almost, inevitably exist in the
census of 1870 or 1875 to explain an
increase of one-seAeneth in a State
where lleonsed plunder lias made
property insecure and too often
worthless.
“The inerease of the colored popu
lation in the lust, live years is placed
at 85,814. and that of the wtiite at
42.209. In the decade from 1820 to
1830, to take opposite extremes, the
negro increase, free ami slave,
W 0845,768, and the white 18,058, while
In tho decade from lsrsi to 1850 the
white increase was 101,1105, and the
negro, free and slave, but 88,002. In
most of tho Intervals between one
snd another it has been found,
however, that the negro race, which
began in 181 c with a majority in
its favor of 7.934 in a total popula
tion of 78,556, has Increased more rap
idly than the white.”
Tho reason why there was always
a greater increase of negroes than of
whites before the war in the
South-western states was this : A
planter in Georgia or Alabama, after
working his plantation until the soil
became impoverished moved West to
buy richer land. The individual
planter thus carried a soore or more
of negroes. Hut for these rich Wes
tern lands slavery would have been
abolished sooner and more peacefully
than It was.
Cotton in Texas.—A correspondent
of the Hhreveport Timer thus de
scribes the crop alongside the Texas
Pacific Railroad:
The pleasure of the ride on a rail
was only marred by the appearance
of tho crops along tho lino of the road
from Shreveport to, say, Will’s Point.
If there was a passably respectable
crop of corn or cotton on the route
we failed to see it, and had not tho
subject been too solemn to provoke
mirth, one could have laughed hys
terically at corn three feet high and
not a semblance of a shoot, and cot
ton from tour to six iuohcs high, in
some instances without a loaf, and
crowned with a single o;>ou boll, it
looked like absolute starvation to the
planters who hud been laboring to ac
complish such a miserable result.
The hard-money organ, tho New
York World, has this facetious thrust
at the in Hat ion organ, the Cincinnati
J lnquirer:
Since the death of that little jack
ass which defeated the lioness in a
pitched battle, the Cincinnati Enquir
er hn* undertaken to rule Cincinnati—
“AffncU tho bay.
Assam**to bray.
Ami fipouiH to Ut't it* lu oln' 1
against all that does not sort with its
sense of Impropriety.
The Now York World speaking of
the great Fair at Nijni Novgorod,
Russia, says:
An event which annually attracts
1,000,000 people to one town and for
six busy weeks swells its population
from 20,000 to 150,000, beside bringing
to its doors a trade of $20,000,000 a
week duriug that period, deserves at
tention.
A eoRKKsroNDENT, in the Register,
thus pictures Mobile:
So long, then, as the cotton crop is
our only support, it is evident that if
more than one-half of that which for
merly came to us goes elsewhere,
Ymsiuess must languish and all classes
of our people suffer in consequence.
Tima it is that we find buildings of
every sort in all parts of the city un
occupied, rents declining, and the
taxable value of ali kinds of property
largely reduced.
Between September, 1873, aud Sep
tember, 1875, in less than two years,
over one thousand millions of rail
road bonds in the United States have
been deelared "failed,” whioh means
that the interest due to their owners
has not been paid. .V. Y. Herald.

THE TIMES: TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 2H, 1875.
Tew York Uwropuiilraee.
SABatooa, N. Y., Sept. 22,1875.
Contrary to my expectations, when
leaving homo, I am here again, after
lan interval of -a twelve-month. The
| season is a late one for Saratoga; for
!as long as tho weather continues
: warm the guests are loth to leave Its
! dry and bracing climate. Its healing
! waters, Its grand holds aniTsumptu-'
lons fare; ita beautifully shaded
! streets, its gorgeous equipages, Its
drives and lakes; besides, delicious
. melody is dispensed gratuitously by
; the finest bands in America. All
agree iu testifying that it lias been
j the best season Saratoga has ever
known. They will uot allow Sarato
ga to be called a city; yet, to-day, it
numbers twelve thousand jieoplo.
The Grand Central Hotel burnt
down a lew mouths ago will be still
more majestic in its proportions; its
cost is to be million dollars. The
Grand Union, already palatial in Us
apiKiintmeiits—erected at a cost of
$1,250,000—is to bo udded to ami ex
tended over tho remaining surface of
the block, at an additional cost of a
million dollars; provided, ot course,
the proprietor, A. T. Stewart, can buy
an Episcopal church that stands in
the way. Mr. Stewart, lias offered the
members a big price lor it, or to build
them a much better one on a larger
and moro eligible site. But they are
holding out for a still higher price.
Various other improvements in
volving an outlay of largo Sums of
cuslt are already projected and under
way. Tho United States Hotel looks
“spick and span now,” and is really
colossal lu sloe, having the largest aft
pacity of all. Tho capacity of the
United States, Grand Union, and
Congress, being respectively 1,500,
1,350 and 1,300.
But to return to the Grand Union;
tills Is owned and run by A. T. Stew
art, in the name of Breslin & Cos.,
whom he pays a salary of sls,list per
season of throe months. He says lie
intends it shall bo the hotel of the
place, and for him to will is to do.
Speaking of Mr. Stewart, I saw him
frequently day and night, and sur
veyed him critically, aud I perceived
neither in the expression of his eyes
or in his tout ensemble anything
that would Indicate the latent,
but gigantic force of the man.
He is seventy-six years of age,
about five feet and eleven.
incites high, weighing 165 pounds,
erect as a West, Pointer, ltair and
whiskers a beautiful brown -ap
proaching auburn -entirely free of
gray hairs, and presents the picture
of bouyancy and vigor of a man of
forty-five; his step is remarkable for
its elasticity and firmness.
Hitting with u party in tho grand
parlor of tho Grand Union, and dis
cussing Mr. Stewart at tile time, he
walked in, but at once retreated from
a battery of a thousand eyes that was
immediately iqiened upon him, and
withdrew to one of the smaller par
lors. Ho we made a flank movement
by the front gallery and packed our
selves by and in a window command
ing a good view of hint.
We noticed several other groups at
tracted by a similar curiosity, admir
ing theonco boy podalor and present
merchant prince.
"And still tht*y gxxm!, and retill the wander gr.-w.
That om* small head could carry *ll he ku*w.
The most notable features of so
ciety here is the extreme over dress
ing Of the old ladles aud children.
We saw a child of seven summers
wearing solataire earrings valued at
$500,000 the pair, tho rest of her
toilet of the costliest continental fab
ric an unlimited exchequer could
command. But of over-dressed mar
ried women. The ladies will par
don me for paying my respects to a
distinguished matron distinguished
chiefly for her known immense
wealth -immense to a degree of giv
ing her a matronly reputation in that
way. It was evening—confessing to
a cringing admiration for all wornon
in Iter exalted position, I can not
say she comes up to the standard of
my youthful dream of the goddess
of beauty. Her hair was puffed and
rolled ami frizzed, and crimped ; in
tended doubtless, to relieve the un
dulations of high cheek bone, ami
painfully well defined crow’s feet,
and us we were lost in tho arithmetic
Involved in tbo furrows of her cheek,
and the wrinkles upon her brow, she
turned tier face and gave me tho bene
fit of a profile view, just then it struck
me that to a sitnillar fortunate cir
cumstance was Beecher indebted for
the inspiration of his expression,
“the ragged edge of anxiety.”
Hhe was decked in glittering dia
monds of fabulous value, to say uoth
i ingot the regulation cable-chain eu-,
circling her neck, and the mosaic
locket suspended thereto; of the!
silk wore en train, knife plaited and ;
of a color I would dub a compromise I
between a lavendar and a purple, &e. j
Wo are pleased to meet here the j
elegant Miss L ,of Macon, who is, i
in appearance, quite distingue, even j
at the American Hpa, and, ns you
know, Georgia claims as one of her,
deservedly polular belles.
We also met Oapt. W. D. Grant and !
wife, of Atlanta, the former one of j
the ristng young men of Georgia, al-!
ready holding a high rank among j
railroad magnates, and tho prospect
of a handsome fortune, the fruits of
his own energy and enterprise. His
wjfe many of you will recognize as
Miss Snllie Fannie Reed, formerly of
LaGmnge a reigning belle “in her
day.”
In New York we had a call, soon af- j
ter registering at our hotel, from j
Oapt. Chipley. It will be particularly j
gratifying to his many friends in Co- j
1 lint bus to henr that his praise as a
railroad man is upon all lips; notably
so of his superior officers uud eo-la
tiorers of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road. His office is now in New York,
and he is charged with the manage
ment of the Southern business of this |
great, corporation, and, we uuder
' stand, they say he is the best man
1 for the respective positions given him
i they have ever had. Jo reroir.

the bonds of friendship formed'

Law. but Nl equity—'Taxation ut Kall
rimd lands.
The New York llerahl has this to
say on the above subject:
The Supreme Coart of the United
States delivered its decision, on the
2lst inst., in the eases whioh came up
on an appeal from the Circuit Court
relating to the right of a State to tax
railway lands granted as a subsidy
toward building railroads. The Su
preme Court has decided that the
railroad lands become subject to lo
cal taxation as soon as the patent is
sues vesting the title to the lands in
the railroad company. But when the
(latent has been withheld in conse
quence of t lie neglect of the company
to pay the expense* of survey or non
fulnlinont of other conditions the
lands are not taxable. This is. doubt
less, law, because the Supreme Court
so declare*. But. it would seem to
operate as a premium to the railroad
for postponing the fulfilment of its
obligations, and deferring the issue of
the patent. It may be law, but it is
not equity, to make the failure of an
obligation to the Federal Govern
ment a reason for escaping a duty to
the Htate.
