The Sew Soutli. from the JV. JT. rriouie. In fell the many letters we hare received from And conversations we hare bad with Beutbern men dariug the Ust six or eight months, we hare nut had An Intimation of regret that slavery baa passed a way, nor the bint of A duel re that it should ever be restored. And, now that it is gone, we hear from no Southerner A snggestion thAt its overthrow KM not a great blt-psing to the white. There are still some who tell ns that they Apprehend the extinction of the binds as one of its oonse quencee; And tbis fear has some historic justi fication. A race signally inferior In energy, jmmbers, wealth, intelligence, persiatenoy, and AlmoBt every other quality that would ena He it to hold its own, plaoed in close oontaot with A superior, if inoapable of absorption, is In danger of gradual eztinotion. Still, the Hacks have shown moh tenacity of life under Slavery thAt we cannot doubt their enduranoe under the novel temptations and trials of freedom. We presume they will not inoreaae CO fast as they have done; we know that they tvre destined, because of our immense, inoes fant immigration of whites, to constitute A smaller and still smaller fraction of our people t CAoh successive census, so thAt the child is now born whe will see them but a twentieth where they have been An eighth of the Ameri can people; yet we believe they will be more xumerons in 1900 than they were in 18(50. If they can be induoed very generally to shun cities And buy lands, they certainly will. Next in importance and hopefulness to the general rejoioing that slavery is dead, we rank ti e improved prospeots of industry at the Scritli. On this point, there is no conflict of testimony, no diversity of judgment. Wages are higher than they have been, and labor is In more eager demand. Those who grew last year's orop generally did bo well thAt they Are panting more extensively this year. If the se3on be fair, there will be more cotton And far more sugar grown than in '08, with at loait an equal Amount of rice, tobacoo, corn and meat. Lands, though still low. Are Bell- la, faster than last spring, and at muoh Irglier prioes. Improvement is the order of the day. The most effeotive implements and machinery are largely bought. More fertilizers sre sold than ever before, and the market is Still widening. Phosphates, marl, guano, are the current topics, replacing the Freedmen's 35a eau and the Reconstruction acta. The planters are not only willing but able to buy ai .1 pay for them. Thus the profits of the Li crop are used to insure and enlarge the J' .vt. Instead of speedily wearing out one pi ut.ttion and then removing with his "force" t a t;4W one, the planter meditates enriching the r !1 and enhancing the orop of his present Lor itead to the end of his days. oourse, there is a background to this e. There are malignant, Implacable , banded in Ku-Klux and other mid ' organizations to harass, outrage, and there Are inveterate white loafers, hang bout cross-roads taverns and stores. tf,. ni, ' 3tL ct!!Li:iug bad wnURy and talking worse poll ti. ', who will never work if they can help it; a. il there are worthless, thievish, vagabond Heroes, who prowl over the oountry, skulk ing about the edges of plantations, hiding in forests, shooting pigs, robbing corn-cribs, and grumbling that they can find nothing to do. Home of these will get shot before they know n; otners win nnd tnemseives in prison; others still will persist in their wretched course, eking out a miserable subsistence by oooasionai Hunting or asking, lint "the ponooimaster is auroaa;" tne children gene rally attend sonooi wherever they oan; so vagrants Ana prodigals, white or blaos, are gradually beooming soaroer. There are lo calities in several States, especially West Ten nessee and Eastern Texas, where the bad old status of two or three years ago still continues or has been little modified; but these are but a very small proportion of the South, of 'whose oounties niue-tenths have to-day as quiet and law-abiding citizens as Iowa or Massachusetts. The influx of immigrants and of those who are proepeoting with a view to immigration Is large And increasing, and Is no longer re pelled by a generally sullen demeanor. In debted land-holders (still a numerous class) are eager to sell, even to "Yanks;" railroad managers offer to carry, and hotel-keepers to entertain, at reduced rates, those who visit with a view to purchase and settlement. ,With a good season and such peaoe And order as the general confidence in President Grant's fairness and firmness is calculated to secure, the South can hardly fail to make a large Stride towards recuperation in the year 1SGU. The Democracy and the "Suffrage Amend, ineut. from the N. T. Timet The resignation of seventeen Senators and thirty-seven Representatives in Indiana, leav ing either branch of the State Legislature with out a quorum, illustrates the recklessness with which opposition to the pending consti tutional amendment is conducted. Neoessary legislation is brwught to a stand-still. The State ia left minus appropriations for the main tenance of its government and pnblio institu tions. Essential work is unfinished. And serious inconvenience is occasioned to import ant interests by the abrupt and violent termi nation of the sesbiou. The motive of the seoeders is not concealed. They apprehended the ratification of the amendment, and resulwd upon delaying by strategy what they could not hope to defeat fcy votes. Mere absence would not have Served their purpose. They resigned, there fore, and now appeal to their constituencies in behalf of the fundamental Demooratio doc trine that this is a white man's government. iEvents which Southern States have aooepted as conclusive reasons for impartial suffrage are still resisted by the Demooratio legisla tors of Indiana. They prefer confusion and embarrassment to the toleration of "this great Iniquity." But where ia the thing to end ? The pre tense pnt forward is that tbe L-glslature Should not be asked to vote upon the amend ment until the people of the whole State Lave passed judgment upon its merits. A general election alone would meet their re quirements. And their resignations secure nothing more than a limited and partial ver dict. GoVrBOr Baker, in the proolamation fixing the dav for vie elections to ml vaoanoies, an nnn noes thAt the embarrassed condition of publio business will necessitate a special L.Jnn of the Legislature At An early period. Suppose then, as is not ImprobAble, that At the speolAl session shortly to be held tbe sur fr.D kmendment to be brought up for ratifl. cation, will tbe Demooratio Senators And Representatives agAin resign, be the injury to publio business whAt it may? Of course, their demAnd for A geaeral appeAl to the ili 1 unsatisfied. To be oonslstent, therefore, they must make np their mlnd to renew their resignations, And thus a seooni lUce break up ta Legislature, without re- gard to the effect upon the Stat. "We Are I not in fAVor, as a general thing, of snoU revo- I lutionarv measures." sav s a Louisville news paper; "but this is a case whloh would jus tify it." From whloh we infer that "revolu tion Ary measures" Are in order with the Democracy when the fifteenth amendment la in question. Ia suoh a game Indiana Demo crats properly take the lead. The Fen Hampshire Election. from the IT. T. Eerald. . Last spring the Republicans of New Hamp shire, three months and over in Advance of the Chicago Convention, fought their StAte fight under the banner of General Grant at their Presidential candidate against the field. That State campaign, therefore, was aooepted as the touchstone of Grant's popularity. The fctatehad always been closely divided and sharply contested between the two parties, and from the general drift of the eleotious Kast and West of 1867 the Demoorata were encouraged with the evidences of a popular reaction which might gtve them the initial victory of 1868. The RepnblicAns Appreciated their danger. The Democrats were inspired with the hope of a defeat of Grant in his first preliminary battle. Consequently the State canvass in New Hampshire last spring was contested foot by foot on both sides, and every accessible voter was brought out; for the re sult was to be the first gun for the Presidency under the banner of Grant. The election marked a return of the p jpular tide te the Republicans, and dissipated all doubts as to the availability of General Grant and as to the action of the Chicago Convention. Ibis year New Hampshire has been called upon to speak first among the States her opi nion of President Grant's inaugural and upon bis policy of a Cabinet of his own choosing. The result a more decisive victory than that of last March was on eleotlon night substan tially covered by the congratulatory speech of the Governor-elect, Onslow Stearns. He said. "It is a reaffirmation of New Hampshire's attachment to Republican principles, and of her determination to stand by President Grant in his declared purposes of introducing economy, retrenchment, and reform into every department of the Government. As New Hampshire was the first State to formally present tbe name of General Grant to the nation, it is fitting that her people should send as a crett rg the first endorsement of his administration." Very good, Governor: see that you stick to your text.forthe adminis tration will be fighting the Philistines of the whisky rings and other Treasury plundering rings before long, and the cries of the wounded will be apt to Btartle the radical Junta of Congress. Connecticut comes next April o. The elec tion here, as in New Hampshire, inoludes the State delegation to the lower house of the Forty-first or present Congress. New Hamp shire returns an uobroken Republican delega tion. In the last Congress, expiring the 4th of Maroh, the Democrats of Connecticut had three members to one Republican. But General Grant last November completely upset the State, carrying three out of the four Congres sional districts. What is the prospect now f The Democrats profess to have some hope of recovering the State on the negro suffrage issue embraoed in' the pending fifteenth amendment to the Constitution. They are making their fight on that question and the Democratic dry bones of State rights. We ap prehend, however, that the Demooratio party on these old Bourbonio ideas is dead and done for, and that its reconstruction will depend upon the coming events of the new adminis tration. Will General Grant "Fight It Out on this Line !" From the kV. T. World. The week whloh has elapsed siuoe the inau guration of President Grant supplies better materials for estimating his capacity than his whole previous career. The impenetrable silenoe by which he screened himself from scrutiny might, for aught tbe publio knew, cover a robuet wisdom like that of William the Silent, as it also might be the cloak of dulness and mental impotence. A prinoe who had never met his destined oonsort except in a dark apartment, would not know whether he was to wed a Cleopatra or a Witch of Endor, and when the bridal veil was lifted immediately after the marriage, the beautiful Illusions of the lover's fancy might encounter an unpleasant shock, ueneral urant has suddenly demonstrated that his obstinate taciturnity was a mask for his ignorance and imbecility. He has exposed himself to the scorn and derision of his enemies, and has incurred the pity and contempt of his friends. It was for his interest to put his best foot forward and appear to the greatest advantage at the beginning of his Administration. If a statesman of recognized eminenoe should make great blunders on entering a new office, his reputation would be impaired, but not fatally damaged; for although his last acts would make the liveliest impression, as being the freshest, tbey wonld not form the sole basis for estimating his ability. They would be regarded merely as heavy items on the debit tide of an account which had a long list of credit entries. But General Grant, iu setting up the new business of a statesman, has opened a clean set of books.aud the first page, which records the capital with which he com mences, exhibits him as hopelessly insolvent. There is nothing, in the whole course of his administration, which it so deeply oonoerns him to do well, nothing which he will have an opportunity te do with such ample forethought ana deliberation, or in which il will be so easy to avoid egregious blunders, as the selection of a Cabinet. He has had little else to think or since he was nominatea, ten months ago, with full confidence of an election. Since that time, he has been in frequent personal oho tact with all the leading men of his party. He has resided for tiie last four years iu Washington, the focus of political intelligeuoe, with advan tages of asNOoiation which must have given him constant opportunities of listening to the estimates put upon all prominent public characters by those best qualified to judge. With this amplitude of time and alllueuoe of facilities for composing his administration with deliberation and wisdom, he has blun dered as a respeotable mechanic could not have done, if suddenly caught up in the streets on the 3d, inaugurated on the 4th, and required to send li the names of his Cab'net on tbe 5 th. General Grant's blunders make a far worse impression than if perpe trated by a man unexpectedly made President without notice, as Vice-Presidents sometimes are, find compelled to choose a Cabinet on the spur of the moment. General Grant's blun ders prove that he U a man on whom experi ence and opportunities are lost; they there fore preclude the hope that his Administration will improve as it advanoes. Our laws wisely place a long interval be tween the election of a President And his induotion into office, giving him so much time for reflection And consultation, that if the impressions produced by his first officials aots are unfavorable, be oan blame nothing but his own Incapacity. This ample period for preparation has been wholly lost npon President Grant. He is like a general suddenly surprised in his camp by an enemy, And obliged to extemporize a plan of battle under every disadvantage, la the coufasloa of Ihe moment, After Laving known for rmutln that he wonld have to flht At that time aud on that ground. Oar new President is worse off than if he bad been elected, without notioe, on the day of his Inauguration. In that case, tbe country would have made generous alio w Aices; but even in thAt cab, such a flasoo as GenerAl Grant has committed would b- hardly exousable. But to have blundered so enormously after the amplest opportunities for olroumspect Aotlon, shows thAt he is a man on whom opportunities are thrown away; that be is incapable of preflting by advioe or expe rience; and it so prostrates pnblio confidence at the outset of his administration as to in cline the publio to look with doubt and mis giving upon everything he may hereafter do It is much as if the general who was so dis gracefully beaten at the first battle of Bull Run had just been invested with the fall command of our armies for four years. The chances that General Grant will im prove are slender indeed. Anlde from the in curable mental deficiencies which unfit him for enccees as a statesman, the shame of such a beginning and his reluctance to confess his blunders, will incite him to adopt some oourse whloh will not seem a total abandonment of plans which he fermed with so much delibera tion, with such arrogant self-snfficienoy. and such contemptuous rejection of advioe. When a pretender is deteoted in a ridiculous blun der, he is under a strong temptation to shield and defend it. General Grant, having as sumed to be superior to ordioary usages and independent of such assistance as b3 been sought by All his predecessors, will naturally desire to show ihat.his assumption was not a mere exhibition of empty self-conceit, And will probably act as nearly as possible in pursuance of his original ideas. His self-conceited presumption and Absurd anno tation of superiority have not only led him into mistakes which a diffilent man with access to advisers could not have oommitted, but tbey have enlisted his pride in support of an indefensible course, which might bav been easily abandoned if it had not been taken with suoh a lofty and repellant air of superiority. Modesty easily confesses its faults; but ostentatious presumption, which censures and deviates from the.common usage, commits itself to persistence in error. So that General Grant Las to enoonnter not only the intrinsio difficulties of the situation, and those which result from his incapacity and inexperience, but the embarrassments which attend a gratuitous assumption of superiority that enlUts his vanity in defense of his mis takes. He will doubtless continue his paltry affectation of aoting solely on his own judg ment. This kind of aff-ctition, instead of being a mark of capacity, proves the utter want of it. The most superior minds are always the most indebted to others; their superiority consisting, among other things, in their ability to use the faculties of others as an architect uses the rnde labors of quarrymen and the trained skill of mechanics. A soon as a man has exhibited a marked superiority to his contemporaries, he becomes a river into which all th streams of intelligence ai d oapaoity floi, as affluents, to Bwell its volume. Tbe iinpo3iug'. figure made by a treat statesmen is due to the tact that his eminenoe makes other capable men proud to give him their assistance, to supply him with facts and suggestions, and thus to gain for their ideas a ounency and importance which they could never give them by their own efforts. To be the correspondent of a great man, to be the valued ad viser of a great man, is a distinction which gives clever men consideration in their own circles. and supplies their only chance of incorporat ing their ideas into the general publio thought. Thus, one superior man becomes the conduit of numerous streams or valuable thought, as the Mississippi rolls into the Gulf the col lected rivers of half a continent. There is no plagiaiiem in this kind of assistance; what wonld be theft or robbery in a private indivi dual is the levy of a just tax by a powerful monarch who protects and gives value to the property from which be takes what is need lul for his oocasions. The recoKnition which a great statesman gives to the abilities of those from whom he borrows, is more valu able than any recognition they could have obtained by direct communication with the publio. The advantage of such an arrange ment is, that a oountry is governed by tbe collected wisdom of all its best minds. The assistance which men of the highest order of ability derive from tributary minds as a consequence of their superiority, is often within the reaoh of inferior men when acci dent or popular caprice lifts them iuto the highest official positions. When really great men are nut in great stations, they brine with them not only their own .talent?, but all the tributary talents which the recognition of their greatness has enabled them to subsidize; and this is one reason why publio affairs are so much better managed by statesmen of Afsured eminence aud wide ' connections. High office enables inferior men to command much !of the same kind of assistance, al though they are naturally less skilful in turning it to good account. An Able states man, coming into office with a wide com mand over tributary minds, was never known to cut himself loose from such connections, and aet in self-reliant isolation. An inferior man, coming into great office without this pieviouB equipment and these tributaries, sbonld acquire by bis office what he had nt acquired by his personal asoendancy, or thus gain the advantage of feeding his own mind with the wisdom of clear headed or well-in formed contemporaries who cau make them selves important only by gaining some chan Del of outflow, as small rivers can reach the ocean euly by emptying their waters into rivers of A greater bulk. General Grant, by ostentatiously disdaining f-uju assistance, slows that he is to hopelessly n.w that he does not even know that no single mind is capable of governing A great country. The ablest statesman is he who has the most con summate fckill in using the faculties of others, and thus making his administration the joiut result of all the best thinking and ripest ex perience of his age. A cull, narrow man, without experience or political connections, who affects to disdain ail advice and to act witbont assistance, and whose absurd pre snmption has stranded the ship he undertook to navigate before it is fairly out to sea, will naturally go on from one ridiculous blunder to another. General Grant bids fair to give us the weakest and most rickety administra tion we have ever had einoe the beginning of the Government. BLANK BOOKS, .STATIONERY. J AM SS O.
