Horn the & 1'. Times. '
The Democrats may t parJoue.l for tho
-.Louts of exultation witli which they gret
the tidings from California. They are bo ac
customed to defeat that tie first glimmering
Of success, however obtained, throws theua
Into ecsta ies. In . their hurry to proclaim a
triumph, they forget that the result they wl
come so entLusia.tically is attributable less
to their own strength than to accidental
causes of weakness in the ranks of the Re
publicans; that it is, in fact, not so much a
tribute to the Democratic party as a rrotost
on the part of Republicans against political
franA and corruption. . . .
That California, on a straight political issue,
la" overwhelmingly radical, there can be no
Reasonable doubt. Its majorities in successive
contests have been too decisive to be misre
presented; and we anticipate further proof i at
the State Judicial election next month, inai
will be a fair party fight, and until that be
over, we recommend the Democrats to sus
pend their shouting.
As to the election Just held, it is only ne
cessary to keep in mind a few facts concerning
the candidates and the manner in which the
Union nomination for Governor was procured.
t .imiMBd that John Bidwell was the
nearly unanimous choice of the Unionists for ,
that office; tuny two-tnirua ui wo unc6-
the State Convention having been instructed
to vote for him. He was defeated, however,
l)y a corrupt cmbination tetween the friends
Of George C. Gorham and of Senator Conne3S,
aided by the money and influence of certain
powerful corporations, who de3ired a Legisla
ture and an Executive Bubservient to their
Selfish purposes. By gross trickery this com
Mnation got oontrol of the Convention, threw
Oveiboard Bidwell and nominated Gorham.
The fraud and the agencies with which it
Was effected disgusted the Unionists through
Out the State, drove the leading Union jour
nals of San Francisco and elsewhere into op
position to the nominee of the Convention,
created a split in the party ranks, and gave
rise to a widespread feeling of indifference.
The personal unpopularity of Gorham added
weight to all these considerations. It was
notorious that he had been chief of the Legis
lative lobby and the special advocate and
promoter of measures which, if successful,
would have saddled millions of debt upon
the State, and so increased the burdens of
taxation, for the benefit of the private inte
rests which had succeeded in controlling the
Convention, lie was regarded by many thou
sands only as a nominee of unscrupulous
operators, anxious for the attainment of sinis
ter objects.
On the other hand, Haight, the Democratio
Candidate, bore a well-known loyal record
as a Unionist, having voted and acted with
the Republicans during the war. Ue enjoys
publio confidence as an able and houest
man; one who, whatever his party alliances,
will not surrender public interests to the
lobby or to leagued corruption in the Legis
lature. The apathy and disgust occasioned by the
causes of Gorham's nomination reaoted on
the whole ticket, and occasioned the not im
probable defeat of the Republican party in
the Legislature. The personal unpopularity
Of Senator Conness and his known partici
pation in the intrigues which led to Gorham's
nomination, alienated support from candi
dates who were believed to be identified
with either. Hence the unprecedented num
ber of voters who refused to appear at the
polls. The vote of San Francisco, for instance,
fell 6000 short of the number of registered
Voters a circumstance which enables us to
Bee why the Democracy boast of a majority
In a city which has for years shown Union
majorities. To this failure to vote of C000
registered Unionists, in the chief city of the
State may be ascribed the reported defeat of
Phelps, the Union candidate for Congress.
Evidently, then, the election possesses no
epeoial political significance. Its results are
mortifying, unquestionably, because honast
party management would have obviated them.
J3ut to claim them as indications of a reaction,
as our Democratio contemporaries do, is sim
ply absurd. They are the products of what
the San Francisco Bulletin characterizes as
"an immoral system of party management,"
and their prime value consists in the warning
they read to political manipulators in other
Btateu.
Th Politicians and the' Presidency la
Vhere to Be an Impeachment
JYom the JV. Y. Herald.
If we were to accept the ravings of the radi
cal party leaders and their organs as a faithful
indication of publio sentiment, we might ex
pect a violent convulsion in the nation, ending
In the overthrow ef the constitutional Govern
ment and the institution of a reign of anarchy.
Jit the best, we could but hope for the post
ponement of a revolutionary outbreak until
the assembling of Congress in November, to
le preoipitated then by the swift impeach
ment of Andrew Johnson and the seizure of
Lis office by the President of the Senate, pend
ing his trial by that body. But, fortunately,
experience teaches us that the boldness of
political agitators displays itself more freely in
words than in action; and when we recall the
lmpotenoy of the angry threats of impeach
ment and confiscation so loudly uttered on the
eve of the commencement of the three last
eessious of Congress, wo are inclined to be
lieve that the present rag of the radicals will
expeuu itseu iu --sonna and fury," and so far
aa practical results are concerned, will Bonify
nothing. ' i
There is, indeed, a shrewd suspicion abroad
that the politicians of the party are very well
satisfied with the situation as it is, and that
while their wrath against President Johnson is
vehemently uttered, it is only for the purpose
of keeping alive a popular excitement aud
diverting the attention of the people from
other issues. Their main object in the legiala-
tion of last winter was to dispose of all those
military officers whose popularity threatened
to render them dangerous competitors for the
prize of the next Presidency. In their effort
to this end they displayed a great amount of
politioal sagacity ; but thev would never have
succeeded so effectually if Andrew Johnson
had not by his recent polioy afforded them
material aid. The Supplemental Reconstruc
tion bill might have been fatal to Grant, but
bin appointment to Stanton's office by the
President drove the nails into his politioal cof
fin. . Sheridan might have been troublesome
as a military martyr, but with Sickles and
Pope to share Lh) crown he sinks into insignifi
cance. What more effective assistance could
the radicals have desired than Johnson has
afforded them In clearing the Presidential field
for their iavorite candidate, Chans f
THE DAILY" EVENING TIJJiGKArilrillLADELriHA, MONDAY,
Nor is this tlie only instaiiee in which Jolm
Kon has plnyed Hie gnnie of the radicals. The
obstructions lie has thrown fn the way of re
count ruction bnve aloue enabled them to carry
out their settled denign of keeping the South
ern States out of the Union until al'tur the next
Presidential elwtitu, and at the same time to
evade direct responsibility for the continued
distraction of the country. They point now
to tho President aud his acts, and cry, "We
are anxious for reconstruction; behold the
power that impedes and obstructs it." Why,
then, should they impeach Andrew Johnson,
or seek to seizo upon the Government by au
unconstitutional and violent a;t? By leaving
him where he is they keep up the excitement
in the minds of their followers, and go into
the next campaign with Chase as their standard-bearer
upon the issue of opposition to the
existing Administration. They .will seok to
fasten upon the anti-Republican candidate,
whoever he may be, the odium of Johuson's
Administration, and will represent him as the
successor of Johnson's policy. In this regard
Andrew Johnson will be too useful to them in
the Presidential chair to render them desirous
of depriving him of its oocupaucy for a few
brief months.
There are other obstacles in the way of an
Impeachment of the President. Ben Wade is
shrewd and ambitious, aud is already a caudi
nate not to be despised by the aspirants for
the succession. The friend's of Mr. Chase in
the House and the Senate are well oontented
with matters as they stand at present; and the
less prominent candidates will not be willing
to give Ben Wade the advantage whioh the
actual occupancy of the White House would
not i ail to seoure to him in the Republican
nominating convention. Under these circum
stances, it seems probable that the loud cry of
impeaenment wm die away as sottly in the
next session of Congress as it did in those
that preceded it, and that the next Presidential
battle will be fought out peaceably, with John
son in the White House, Grant attending to his
military duties, Sheridan hunting wild Indians
on the plains, and Chase in the political field
at the head of the combined forces of the
national banks, the PuritanB, the negroes, and
the radical rank and file in general.
Registration at the South Louisiana
and Alabama.
5Yom the JV. Y. Timet.
Probably the best indication o. the direction
and force of the current of publij opinion in
the South, may be found in the registration '
lists of the States in which the Registrars have
completed their work. The elections in Ten
nessee, Kentucky, Vermont, or California do
not throw so much light upon the future as
the returns from Louisiana and Alabama.
These returns have disappointed politicians
of both parties, and falsified many of their
predictions.
Taking the census of 18G0 as a basis, and
making allowances for changes wrought by
the war, it was estimated that Louisiana con
tained at present 47,000 whites and 23,000
blacks over twenty-one years of age. This
was the estimate made previous to registra
tion. But the returns show that only 44,723
whites have registered, while 82,807 blacks
have registered. This is a falling off in the
anticipated white vote of about 2000, and an
increase in the anticipated black vote of nearly
60,000. This fact has been a disagreeable sur
prise to the late Rebels and their friends, and
it far exceeds the highest hopes of the most
sanguine Republicans. The latter predicted a
few weeks ago that the negroes would have a
majority of 37,000 in Louisiana; and tho ma
jority actually exceeds 38,000. Add to this a
white vote of about 20,000 Republicans, and
there will be a majority of about 75,000 iu
Louisiana for reconstruction.
In Alabama the number of white votes in
1807, estimated upon the basi3 of the census
of 18G0, and making allowances for the war,
should be 81,000 whites and 55,000 blacks.
But the registration returns overturn com
pletely this estimate. Instead of the whites
having a majority of 20,000, they are in a
minority over 15,000. There are 5000 more
negro voters than any one expected. The
official figures are 72,748 whi es and 88,243
blacks, it is supposed that the vote in Ala
bama against the Convention for amending
the State Constitution will not exceed 25,000,
leaving a majority of over 100,000 for recon
struction. Out of a voting white population of 12S.000
in Louisiana and Alabama, about 10,000 have
not registered, either because they are dis
qualified by act of Congress or do not wish to
vote. This is not a large percentage. A rainy
election day would keep more voters away
from the polls in New York State. Hence
there is no foundation for any sweeping charge
against the Southern whites on the ground
that they are sullen or indifferent in regard to
national affairs. The number of "soreheads"
among them is remarkably few, considering
their circumstances. In fact, they take more
interest in political movements than the peo
ple of this State take in the proceedings of
our Constitutional Convention, and more than
the Republicans of Vermont took in the suc
cess ol their ticket at the late election. They
have, indeed, stronger motives to action thau
the latter, for they wish representation in
Congress. Nevertheless, their activity iu the
work of reconstruction is highly creditable to
them. Even the certain prospect of being in
a hopeless minority does not prevent a large
portion of them from doing what they con
sider to be their duty.
The negro voting population of Louisiana
and Alabama amounts to 171,108. This is
53,100 over the white voters, and 1)0,000 more
than were calculated upon when the work of
registration began. It is supposed that a con
siderable portion of this population are emi
grants, aud that States lying further north
will show a corresponding decrease in negroe3.
It is estimated that there has been a falling off
in the colored population of Virginia of about
iu,uuu; although, it la considered certain that
Virginia and other States where the negro
vote is not less than the white will give majo
rities in favor of reconstruction. Even the
men who are working against this result admit
that they will fail. Southern conservatives
base their only hopes of success upon a reac
tion in Northern opinion. The October and
November elections will most likely correct
this view; while the aspect of the registration
returns fiom the South will give new courage
and strength to the Republicans of the North.
The Situation What Move Kextl
Prom the V. Y. JYiltune.
Many of our contemporaries are advising
Grant to "do this and that." We fear that
the General has limited his usefulness by doaL
ing bo gently with the President. He represents
Congress, while the President represents the
spirit of disunion and slavery. The President
thus far Las controlled the game. Three pieces
have been captured from the chess-board-S
anion bhendan, Sickles-and three stronger
nieces do not remain upon our side. Grant
has made one or two "checks," but the Presi
dent Las avoided them and taken our pieces
The trouble with Congress aud Grant is that
Ibey have played too easy a game with his
xoelleiicy. Thy "check" him and annoy
liim, but don't get ahead. Johnson moved
nearly all of his friends into good places last
Congress, and all of his leadiug antagonists
out of place. We call this splendid play, and
lie is strong enough to do more mischief.
(J rant seems to feel that Congress did not give
him enough power, and his friends urge that
if lie is powerless it is because Congress left
Lira so. The President did not think that when
he wrote his veto, expressly complaining that
most of his autboiity had been transferred to
Grant. Congress did not think so when It
passed tho bill oi which Sheridau complained.
If Grant is in doubt, it is, we fear, because
some "astute lawyer" has been unsettling
him.
Still the responsibility is w'th Grant, and it
is so refilling to find military men submit
ting to responsibility that we perhaps ought
to be content. We feel that his heart is right,
and that he will do all he can. At the same
time a man who surrenders the powers which
Congress strove to impose upon him can do
but little. Iu the case of Sickles, for instance,
Grant permits the President to plainly over
ride him in the interpretation of the law, and
allows himself to be rebuked in the removal of
his suboidinate. Suppose the President directs
Canby to suspend General Order ro. 10, for
which Sickles was removed. What is Grant
to do ? We ma: be told that he issued an order
to the commanders to permit the orders of
their predecessors to stand. But he also
issued an order to Sheridan to report to Wash
ington to consult on publio business. The
President, afraid that some of us might cheer
"Little Phil.," orders him to the Indian coun
try. Sheiidan coes. and Grant's order falls
I ke a crisp September leaf. So it will be with
General Order No. 10, with Throckmorton and
Wells, with the whole Reconstruction move
ment. Between the haste and crudeness of
Congress, and what had better be called the
extreme amiability and conscientiousness o(
Grant, there is no law but Johnson's whim for
the Southern State?, and our champion is only
an anxious, earnest, protesting soldier, who
at best does not say much, and whose power
is limited to signing himself "by order of the
President," General of the Army. Grant will
do us good in one way. He will save the pub
lio money, and oppose the thieves. So far as
his influence is heeded it will be healthy.
But this is all.
Thus the game goes on, the President play
ing with resolution, shrewdness, energy. Con
gress is away, and we see piece after piece
removed, while the enemies of the country
shout and cheer. Thus, we fear, it will be
nntil within a week of the meeting of Congress,
wnen mr. jonnson wm suddenly become con
ciliatory, and kind, and wheedling. All the
promise, he has made and broken will be re
peated, and certain nervous peoplo's cousius,
and uncUs, and brothers will be placed in
office. We shall be asked to "trust" the Pre
sident, for he "means well," and confirm hi3
special pets,' if for nothing else, because he
will make a radical Postmaster in a rural
town. Great issues will be lost in official
horse-jockeying, unless publio opinion be
comes resolute and vigilant. Just now the
President holds the game; and loudly declares
he will play . it, Congress and country
whether or no. The hand that might make
a checkmate is powerless. We do
not imagine that any circumstance can
arise in which the President may not overrule
General Grant. A Rebel Deputy Marshal of
the United States is more powerful to-day than
the General of the army. The removal of
Sickles shows that. We think there Is one
move that would have ended tho business.
Suppose, when the President directed the
military commanders practically to disobey
Grant's order and make and unmake such
regulations as they pleased, the General had
said to the Presideut, "Hy command of the Con
gress of the United States, in law plainly writ
ten, I decline to have the powers expressly dole
gated to me in any way amended, misconstrued,
or limited, and therefore respectfully refuse to
issue an order which compels me to violate my
duty." What would have followed? Grant
would have done just what the country and
Congress want, what the law in spirit directs,
and what he can only be excused from doing
on the plea that he is a part of the Executive
a hand, finger, or foot and only amenable to
such laws as the President permitted him to
respect.
Perhaps we take a wrong view of the matter.
We write rather to state a case and suggest
inquiry without giving absolute advice. We
jespect the trying position of the General of
the army, and desire in no way to dishearten
him or limit Lis usefulness by unjust criti
cism. But we beg him to look well to his
duty. It is high aud perplexing; but God
does not place men in those positions for an
unwise purpose. Wo beseech him to stand
like a wall between the President and freedom,
and we beg him, whatever he may do, to feel
that he can make no error in the, eyes of this
nation on the side of an energetio support of
Congress and the country.
British Cotton Manufacture.
From the JV. Y. World.'
The greatntss of the cotton manufacture of
Great Britain, the immense wealth and power
which accrue to her from it, and the method
pursued by her for the attainment of such
splendid results as those that now lie before
the world in this respect, are points well de
serving the earnest study of the political
economist.
Of the extent which this branch of British
industry has reached at this day, an estimate
may be formed when we state that the three
thousand cotton factories whose busy hum
was heard all over the United Kingdom before
the war, ai d soon to be heard again, contain
thirty-three million spindles, and furnish em
ployment to nearly onrf million operatives.
It ranks first one of the five prinoipal articles
of export from that country; and necessarily
raw cotton ranks as the leading one of the
five most important articles of import. In
18.10, Great Britain paid out about eighty
eight million dollars for her raw oot
tou. In lSu'5, only 11 teen years thereafter,
she paid over three hundred and thirty mil
lions for that article, and exported manufac
tured cotton to an amount of over two hun
dred and eighty-six millions; whioh shows an
immense home consumption of cotton goods
within the . kingdom. The eighty-eight mil
lions' worth of cotton purchased in 1850 came
out of her factories advanced to a value of
more than two hundred and forty-two mil
lions; her industry, skill, and capital pro
ducing about one hundred and fifty-four mil
lions of excess above the value of the raw
article. It has been estimated that in 18U0
the increase of value produced was doubled;
from which it may be safe to conclude that the
excess in that year very closely approximated
three hundred millions. It was iu the latter
year that our magnificent crop of nearly five
million bales was gathered. Three hundred
millions of increased value is a result that
amply rewards the persevering efforts made
by Great Britain to attaiu perfection and con
trol in this direction.
Iu 18C0 England sent from her own shores
to those of other nations more than two and I
two-third billion yards of cotton goods, while
we sent forth but one hundred million yards.
But while the above named British export in
tbnt year was valued at about two hundred
and ten millions, their export in 18(14, which
was one billion yards less, was valued at about
two hundred and twenty-eight millions; the
difference Wing caused, of course, by the ex
ceedingly high prices which, prevailed iu the
latter year.
hi that year England complained of being
compelled to pay donble price for half the
quantity of cotton she required; and the com
plaint, it must be admitted, was entirely rea
sonable when we consider that she actually
paid out over three hundred and ninety-one
millions of hard money for such cotton as she
was forced to take in the absence of tho Ame
rica n staple. .,
The Brazilian cotton she could not largely
use, and even could she have done so, the
supply was limited. The Egyptian could only
be employed by altering her machinery, and
the East Indian and other growths were not
worth half as much as the American, in
quality or strength of fibre.
And all these cottons have only been ued
for special purposes in manufacture for whioh
alone they are adapted while it is the Ameri
can cotton which England has always used,
aud uses still, for the great bulk of her cotton
fabrics.
Thus, durmg the war, she not only suffered
in a heavy deficiency ot supply, but also iu
the inferiority of quality of a large portion of
the supply that she did receive.
There is every encouragement to believe
that if the increase continues, we shall have
sufficient in this country in a few years to
manufacture for export alone at least one and
a half billion of yards, of the value of one
hundred and eighty to two hundred million
dollars. The capital, skill, and ability of this
people could do it. But to accomplish this
the Government would have to lend its aid,
and repeal, as early as could wisely be done,
all taxes upon the elements which enter into
the manufacture of raw cotton.
We could export two million bale3 of the
raw staple, worth at least two hundred millions
under the prices that are destined to prevail
for some time to come. Our cotton export,
altogether, would thus approximate, it not
quite reach, or even exceed, four hundred
millions per annum. The total of cotton
manufactures exposed by Great Britain in
1863 was two hundred and thirty-seven mil
lions; in 1864, two hundred and fceventy-four
millions; and in 18G5, two hundred aud
eighty-six millions. To show her rise in this

This branch of British industry is worthy of
IT MV V - F OF -MJ- U -VUa-.A-.WU I J - U -4 VS.L
close attention on the part ot those in our own
country who have the advancement of our
cotton manufacturing interest at heart; and we
fully believe that if the impediment of taxa
tion and other obstacles are removed necessary
to its progress, the day is not far distant when
our export . of manufactured cotton, in all
forms, will much exceed in value that of our
great and successful rival in the Old, World.
But a free trade tariff is the first requisite to
successiui competition.
