In the disbanded armies they saw a most dangerous element, to pence and order, and speculated Ion;.; and earnestly, nndwith conclusions by no means jlatterin'g to ourselves, ns to the result. Tho war ended by a jrniul '"""' iinii. llnrdlvn day interposed between the most formidable show of resistance, and nono at nil The insiire'nt forces disajipearca as by iim'"ic ttir own, disbanded with almost equal promptness, returned to tho places, tho industries from which they bad been drawn. The normal condition of things was almost instantly restored: and the only evi dences remaining of the mighty sti-nlo were tho memories of great achievements, nnd the vast political and social revolutions it wrouelit. We have loin; no converted the distrust ot the forei"tier to confidence nnd admiration. The onlAhiii'; that nations respect in each cither is''"'r'-' History lias no example com parable with that put forth by ourselves. Yet this display, which has advanced ns to the front rank of great States, does ns small credit, nnd is n feeble illustration of our true character, compared with our achievements .since the war. The work of destruction is nlwavs easy: that of restoration is the dilli cult one. It is here the. real genius of our people lies. At no former period have they uindo such strides us within tho past four years. At no period have they spread them selves so rapidly over the continent, re claiming its vast wastes and planting them with communitiespossessing every method and npplianee which science nnd skill have con trived for the abridgment and utilization of labor. No sooner was the war ended than the whole force and capital of the nation were turned to repair the destruction that had been made. All wars, domestic ones particularly, jtt once overshadow nil tho ordinary operal ions of society. They draw the able-bodied from labor, nnd put the burden of sustaining them, ns well ns of supplying them with tho instru ments of destruction," upon the feeble nnd weak. Everything is sacrificed to what is esteemed the' supreme necessity. Production in n grent measure ceasing, society is forced to subsist upon the accumulations of the past; and if the war lie of long continuance, fabu lous prices, cither from a real or apprehended necessity, come to be demanded for all the necessities of life. Such was our condition nt the close of the Rebellion. Consumption had far outrun pro duction; nnd as the surplus produced for any one year exceeds, by an insignificant fraction only, the nmmnl expenditure or consumption, years of tho most unremitting toil were re quired to restore tho waste that had been suf fered. It was not till the harvest of ImIS that production fairly overtook consumption, nnd the great reservoirs from which the nation draws its supplies of food tilled to overllowing. Prices for the first time since the war began to show a marked and permanent decline, which bids fair to continue till they roach quotations which prevailed for long nnd pros perous periods previous to it. Tho rapid distribution of our surplus popu lation over agricultural districts for tho past live years, nnd the consequent, cheapening of all articles of food, is one of the most inte resting subjects that can attract attention. In such districts labor is always well employed. In crowded communities a very considerable proportion of tho whole population is always unemployed. To give tho opportunity to labor, therefore, is to create labor. England is all the richer for tho countless millions she has sent forth to other lands. Useless till they emigrated, they are the great consumers of the products of those they left behind. In social economy the great problems are distri bution nnd consumption (of manufactured articles), not production, which far outruns the capacity to consume. Within the past four years tho population of tho nine Northwestern States, from which we draw our supplies of food, has increased at tho rate of r.oii,(H)( annually. To show the rate of tho increase from lsilf to lMis, wo have prepared a tabular statement of tho number of votes enst in each State at tho Presidential elections in three years, and have estimated tho population to bo fivefold greater than such vote. One to live may be regarded as the average ratio of votes to population in the agricultural States in gene ral and excited elections: , lmU. , Yth I'ttjKllHtinil. ..4.0,.'"2 ii.UriXOll!

In 18118 there were nearly half a million of able-bodied men at work in those States more than in 18(11. Their productive capacity, from the increased facilities for transportation, in more skilfully directed labor, and in tho more extensive use of labor saving implements, has probably increased in twofold ratio to that of their numbers. There are still more striking illustrations of the rapid progress of tho new States in mate rial prosperity nnd wealth. There were opened within those named, within tho past four years, fidOO miles of railroads. These roads transport annually L'(M)t) tons of freight to each mile of line, or 10,000,000 tons in the aggregate. Tho greater portion of this ton nage consists of the products of tho soil food and is a most satisfactory evidence of tho vastly augmented supply. Tho increase of tonnage of tho roads in operation in these States previous to 1801 will equal tho total of the new linos. Tho aggregate increase of all since 1801 cannot be less than 1.1, 000, 000 tons, bavins' anat's'rei'nto value of L',000,000, It is usually estimated that a farmer living within fifteen miles of a lino of railroad can avail himself of it in sending his crops to mar ket. Every 1000 milos of lino constructed, consequently, opens up liO.OOO suunro miles of new territory nn area equal to a good sized State. Hut during tho present yenr fully 0000. mi'cs 01 new lino will lie const ructotl, opening up .riO,(HM) Biiuaro milos. tho creator portion of which was Inst year wholly beyond the reach ot commerce anil of markets. Tho B'lditiou to tho wealth of the country which is Uuo to sucti an increase 0f the means of transportation can hurdly be estimated. In tlie WCttutiuie, tho iucreafio of our population, which follows fast in the train of tho now I works, is nt. thn rate of 1,1; .10, 000, all of whom ' become efficient co-operators in a common ennsp. Such nu increase of population nnd wealth secures to us advantages possessed by no other nation. If trade or mnuufneturos bo overdone or slack, the passngo of n single venr brings l,L'V,nii() additional, consumers. With a slight pauso in our industries con sumption overtakes production. Each day Kino ndditioind persons shar.! in tho burdens of taxation. N hat is tolerable to-day becomes less onerous to-morrow, nnd with tho cer tainty of their steady reduction nnd of a full release from them at no distant day. PUZZLED PROVINCIALS. I'rum the X. Y. World. Provincial papers and by provincial papers we mean papers published in Philadelphia. Chicago, Hartford, Sangcriies, Podunk, nnd other small places which content themselves with, nnd confine themselves to, tho daily or weekly chronicling of local occurrences, varied with nn occasional 'sensation, ' such as that Deacon lewbrrry has ''laid'' an extraordina rily large egg on the editor's table, utterly fi.il to comprehend how a great metropolitan journal like the M '( can record every day not only all the doings worth noting in New York, full lay before its renders everything of importance from all quarters of the globe. Still accustomed to pretty much tLe snnio method of news-gathering that obtained twenty years ago, these country join nals cannot conceive how the II'"', by means of steam, the telegraph, special cor respondents, and wide-nwako reporters, man ages every twenty-four hours to collect, sift, nnd present all the news in tin; world worth knowing from day to day. 'What used to be considered extraordinary enterprise is now merely necessary routine. The readers of the Wei!'' demand the whole world's news every morning, and the supply is always equal to the demand. Put this mere doing of the day's duty ab solutely dazes some1 of the provincial editors. Hero conies the Hartford 7W, for instance, with nn editorial showing that the writer is utterly dumbfounded by iho amount of news and matter presented in a single issue of the World. Spreading tlio sheet before him, ho finds it, indeed, " a map of imsv life, Its lliictuations aii'l its vast concerns" nnd, recovering from his first bewilderment, lie attempts to epitomize the contents. Ho discovers in one day's doings, as recorded by tho W"iid, that '"the Senate is a nuisance and deserves to bo abolished:" that there is a dif ference, worth noting, between the stroke of the Harvard nnd Yale oarsmen: that the move ments of ( 1 rant and Sherman at Long .1! ranch are minutely reported: what is going on in the Ohio campaign: "then to England and Prance, only to come bounding back on to the Pacific coast;" how soda water is made, supplied, and sold in Now York: ''it snatches up the English grammar and revises it, show ing us how to make new words;" it "reforms fashions:" it '"rattles plastering' down on the head of Fisk, junior:" and it does all these things, nnd many more, with the samo vigor with which, "a low months ago, it entered the tea chests and sugar barrels of every groceryman, and tho fusel-oil bottles of every barkeeper.'' This maze nnd multiplicity of nintter in a simple issue prompts the Hart ford 1'n.st to exclaim that "'the most myste rious nnd wonderful newspaper extant is tho New York World." In tho same mail with the Hartford Fust, comes another puzzled, almost petrified, pro vincial the Houston (Texas; Tlun which is also overwhelmed nt the greatness, good ness, energy, and enterprise of the World. Extremes meet, and the near-by East and the remote Southwest seem to have come simul taneously to tlio conclusion that tho World is not only .the leading paper in New York, but. as the Hartford iW phrases it, the '"most wonderful newspaper extant. Put if tho Hartford editor was dazed, tho Houston jou ni'list is almost swamped in surf and breakers of surprise, nnd when ho catches breath he talks 111 this wise: "The Wi.rhi is oar favorite. It is tlio orjjan of tlio ivc, progressive U.-mocracy of tlie I'nited Slates, in conlriKlistuiction to the ilelunct Democracy. Tlio 11 ('( .s history is a short 0110. but it lias an immense one before it. It is about eijrlit years old. but in that time it has trrown into a powerful position.

UulVf T' ''V4 reiuct tha disfranchising allegiance to tho Union with their popula tes not disgraced by political death or inferiority What has happened since was the natural consequence of this now policy It was favored by a large number of re publicans everywhere, and m the three Stutef which were yel to be reeonst met oil candi dates for tho Governorship were to bo nomi nated by both wings of the Itepublieau parly who represented both sides of tlie question at issue between republicans. Put whilst tho incstion among the liopuhlieuns more nnd more assumed the character of n mere family ninrrel, tho citizens of Virginia took the thing up in good earnest., and, using tho opportu nity so generously olVered to them, free 1 themselves of tin ir oppressors together with the proposed oppressive rest net ions, ibis is tho simple history of the "attempts to divi hi the radical parly." It was evidi ie'.y inlcnde 1 by the President himself, nnd he and some of bis most devoted friends biix:l Iho whole lory of bis admiuisf ration upon this split nnd upon the subsequent establishment and predominance of n conservative republican party. W hen he was nearer to success th in ho probably knew himsell. some radical parti san bullies in his own Cabinet fris'htene.l lim, nnd now he disowns what he him self oritrinallv inaugurated. There is not the least doubt that tho watchword of 'General Grant's conciliatory policy" was ;iven to all the munagors nnd fabricators of the radical public opinion. Not onlv did we liscover the signs of this in the whole radical press of the I moil, but tlie same conciliatory views were nlso communicated bv reirtilar radi- al correspondents to foreign newspapers. We w ill translate an extract from a letter written to tho ( '''''.I Hi', of Cologne, by its regular cor respondent, which bears on its face the in junction of preparing the way in Germany, which so far was only accessible to ultra radi cal views on American politics, for the new conservative policy of (he present administra tion. Tho radical letter-writer says: The election in Virginia Is over, and It has re sulted in hir;;c iimjorit ics for the so-called conserva tives. ( ( '. ii'.kcr. a merchant, horn in the Si at f New York, was elected bv foriv thousand ma jority niniihsl Wells, the candidate of (lie radio. (Is, and the consei'viil lves will have n majority of from forty to lift.v in the Assembly, and the (.'(institution. exclusive of the disfrancliisiiuf clauses, was ad iptod by ;i majority of upwards of f;o,ooo. This is nu Im mense and important triumph of the conciliatory policy ol the present administration.'' ud then tho correspondent goes on de nouncing the carpet-baggers as a baud of ad venturers nnd reckless office hunters: con- ratulatitig Virginia upon being delivered from them and predicting the return of the Old Dominion to its former glory and rank among tho States of the I'nion. Every word of this panegyric of the present administration, nnd tho effect of its policy in Virginia undeniably true as it was for n short while, still very creditable to the President nlso is now disowned bv him: nnd what was called n triumph of his conciliatory policy is now treated ns nn attempt to split tho repub lican party, and as an attempt which its ori ginator himself denounces and deprecates. It required tullv eighteen years to show tho impossibility of establishing n so-called just medium between right nnd wrong in France. The common sense of General Lafayette, ns early ns ls.'io, discovered that "between two times two are four nnd two times two are five'' there could be no just medium, but that everything between tho two must constantly be w rong. France had either to be ruled despotically, or in accordance with a liberal constitution; nnd. whilst he was for liberty, Louis Philippo expected to rule tho French with a whip in his hand nnd the Jacobin bon net on his head. It is exactly the same thin' in regard to a conciliatory policy here. If it is really intended to reconcile, the administra tion must do right throughout, nnd not talk conciliation and act disfranchisement, and thereby please nobody. A reconciliation, by which it meant that Southern men should elect Northern carpet-baggers, or send to the I nitod States Senate politicians who would trample the rights of those who elected them in the dust, is no reconciliation nt all. It is a phantom created in tho imagination of per haps a well-meaning man, but evidently not of a man ot clear understanding. 11EVIVAL OF COPPEPJIEADISil. VY'iu the St. Ltiiii.s Democrat (Republican). The nomination of Pendleton by the Demo cratic State Committee of Ohio was n shrewd strategic operation. Not so much because Mr. Pendleton is their strongest candidate, though that may lie true, but because by any other course tho committee would have been forced to called together a convention composed argely of men hostile to Pendleton, and de termined to daiimgo his chances for future preferment. The fact is, these Ohio Demo crats still imagine that their party is alive, and that the main question is, who shall bo run for President in 17:.'. W lth a thim- blefull of brains they would see that the first thing to lie done must be to create such a party and give it such strength that a nomination in lis, -J may possibly bo worth some thing. The old Democracy on its present obsolete platform cannot nominate anybody with reasonable hope of success. Its only chance is to get rid of tho men and the ideas which have so long crushed it into tho dust, liather more conspicuously than most Demo cratic politicians, Mr. Pendleton represents day before yesterday the very ideas and methods which have mado Democracy odious and powerless. The nomination of such a man, on u new and progrsssivo platform, would have been ridiculous, certainly, and it would have severely taxed tho credulity of men to believe in tho sincerity of such a con version. Put still it would have been some improvement. With some littlo excuse, the party might have claimed that it had abandoned dead issues, and addressed itself to the living questions of tho future. Put the nomination of Pen dleton on a regular, old-style, Copperhead, anti-negro, anti-bonds platform, such as the convention litted up to balance the nomina tion of Poseerans, nnd make it more palata ble to Copperhead tastes, is as complete a de feat of tho progressive elements iu the party as can bo imagined. Under liosecraus, thty could have claimed thnt the platform meant nothing, and pointed for the true interpreta tion of the purpose of tho party to the Gene ral's brass buttons and shoulder-straps. Put with a Copperhead platform and a Copper head candidate, there is no room for decep tion. It is the old party, not even disguised in a clenu shirt. We are told that tho anti-Pendleton men were in a majority in tho convention; that they had a compact with those Now York j schemers who snuffed out "Gentleman George" at the national convention, anil that tho plan was to kill off Pendleton in Ohio, so that he should never come up again as Presidential candidate, by moving the party forward to liosecraus. Tho very nomi nation of such a man, the schemers reasoned, would be so emphatic a repudiation of Cop perhendism that Pendleton Mould bo perma nently extinguished. Prick Pomeroy and sundry others of tho "red hot" variety so re garded it, and denounced the nomination as a betrayal of tho party. When Ilosecrnns came to their relief by de cliningand it would take very littlo to make us believe that tho Pendleton clique worked tooth nnd nail to force him to doclino the State Committee had the power in its hands. It could either Belect a candidate, or recall tho convention.. Dut tho convention was hostile to Pendleton. The committee wns 1 controlled by bis friends. Hence, tho c m- inittee proceeded to nominate him, and be, I realizing how great a mistake he had made in sniveling the convention to put some oilier I man over his head ns the choice of th Ohio ! Democrats, accepted. Very likely ll will lie i ...1.1 i i. ' ..t:.. ..'.. i . ,T . . ,l ."',.,...

To permit it to prevail now, villi the old ( lender nnd th old platform, would be to ae- knowledge that it wns right and that fh"se , who stood by the tlag during the war were j wrong.
