The recent exposition of textile fabrics at Cincinnati revealed an unexpected develop ment of inanufctnrin industry throughout the AVest and South. Of its growth in tho Vest, in forms as tv.ultifuriou.s as tho wants f tho community, tho eouutiy generally has not been uninformed. The occasion of sur prise is the degree of excellence to which tho production of textile fabrics has been carried, and the amount of c.ipit.il invested in manu facturing enterprises in n section which, ac cording to vulgar belief, nutters from a chro nic scarcity of money. The wonder would bo increased if an opportunity were all'orded for the display of 'Western manufacturing indus try fs a whole. Its diversity and extent would show that a vast and ever-growing market is becoming less and less dependent upon East ern sources of supply. The progress of tho South in tho same direction is more remarkable because effected under most disadvantageous circumstances. It is but just emerging from a condition which has been marked by many dillicultics r.nd almost unparalleled depression. Tho war loft the people almost universally poor; their poverty in many districts reached tho verge of destitution. Their labor system was dis organized, their land devastated, their avail able lironcrty destroyed. It is creditable to Hum that, amidst strong political excitement, find in the presence of many causes of discouragement, they have addressed themselves with rare energy and perseverance to the reconstruction of their shattered fortunes. Applying themselves to hard work, they have won more than bread; they have realized an independence to which they were previously strangers, aud are mani festing an enterprise which assures to them a prosperous future. They are, as they never were before the war, out of debt. They are nlive to the importance of turning to account the varied resources which niako t heir region, naturally, the richest- in the world. And for the first time in their history they propose systematically to supplement the culture of cotton with its conversion into manufactured goods. The immediate result was seen at Cincin nati. The association under whose auspices the exposition in that city was conducted, in its reported resolutions, spoke of "the unex pected and varied excellence of the goods sent from the South." A tabular statement published in the same connection shows that Georgia already has 21 cotton mills and North Carolina 17; Virginia and Tennessee have each 10; and Alabama, South Carolina, Mis sissippi, Texas, and Arkansas all have more or less. Tho total is considerable. And it is only the beginning of a movement the growth of which will be coextensive with tho wealth acquired from tho crops. Before the war, the planters' surplus was invested in slaves. Now, it finds its way into manufactures, which promise henceforward to be the popu lar form of investment. The Southern people propose to bo their own manufacturers. A not unreasonable despondency has been suc ceeded by an equally reasonable confidence, And they are on the road to real indepen dence. The trading politicians by whom the South is afflicted are no longer able to repress its hopeful, buoyant spirit. It talks cheerfully, and through channels not favorable to rose colored views. Even South Carolina, on which the few remaining fire-eaters of tho press lavish their sympathies, protests that the darkest days are over. "It is not true," the Charleston Karx declares, "that there is any prospect that tho lower sections of tho State will be abandoned to the negroes." "Throughout the State the people are confident ami cheerful. We have more hard money than we had in lstio, and, in every sense of the word, South Caro lina has made as much progress since lstia as has been made by any one of her sister States." The New Orleans Picayune, glancing over the South generally, is yet more emphatic: "Men everywhere throughout the South are look ing hopefully Into the future, aud see In the teeming ileitis and prospective harvrsts salvation from the ominous clouds that have lump? above them since the demon of war swept from them all save their lands." The philosophy of the gratifying change is expounded with unwonted candor by tho Mo bile JlegMcr a journal which was rash enough the other day to threaten a new war unless Democrats bo allowed to coutrol the elections. "The excitement of two trying elections,"' it now confosses, "has been passed through; the farmers have become settled, and the freedmen are, as a very general thing, working pretty steadily." Again, we are in formed by the same authority that "tho planter is now better paid for his crops and ,i i . . .? 1.;., f ,, l , IS mole 1 ucit-.liuiiuci.il' un iuciui iunu uvci ' before." These are important facts. Now : for tho .philosophy : "The-old system of advance leaving in many cases the cop In debt to t he actor, not the actor to the crop Is a thiiif? of tin: putit. The planter now . not only feels, but uses, Ins Independence, and the money received comes Into his own hands for his i own disposition. Moreover, the great expenditure, against his running account, is no longer made for lengthened trips to Noil hern watering-places, aud for acquisition of numiieriess articles of luxury. The money received lor t ie cotton crop to-day stays at home.;, -uud the planter, taught wisdom by the bitter lessons of the 1 iM four ye trs, can subsist tiliu- : sel( and family on necessaries only. Ju most cases, , too, these actual wants aid Nupplled at home, and the vast plantation system that culled for importa tion of every pound of bacon and every bushel of grain has been suporsediid by a universal farm tin lft that has made the man of few acres not onlv r self-supporting and Independent, but practically richer than he ol many used to be." This is encouraging testimony because it is tho testimony of men bitterly hostile to the order of things in which tho regeneration . of the South had its birth. There is a new South, then, and tho mis rhief makers are not its masters It is a Houth which has freo labor for its corner stone, and which rests its hopes, its influence and prosperity upon thrift, enterprise and or ganized industry. And it is a South which is destined to play a conspicuous part in tho future commercial arrangements of tho Con tinent. FRENCH REFORM. From the X. Y. Tribune. The imperial plan of reform, as given by the French mess, does not materially vary from niir teleiranm. The Emperor and his Corps may initiate laws a legislative right hitherto devoured by tho Government His ministers may be legislators, and in any case have parliamentary hearing, anil though, as hitherto, impeachable only by the Senate, are responsible. Theso provisions would tend to make the French administration as represent idive as that of Great Britain, were it not for n suspicion of the Emperor s stipulation that Lis ministers depend only from himself. Se natorial sittings tiro to be made public, but a request from five members may estaonsu secrecy, as was formerly the case with the Legislative body, so that tho Senate will still be in effect on imperial cabinet, with the jk(,v in the hands of Napo- THE DAILr EVENING polcon. The Senate send them back to may amend laws, and I the Corps, and in nil ' cases may, by resolve, oppose tho promulga tion of a law. Evory Senator and legislator may address interpellations, or questions, to the Government, whereas, by the present rule, nn interpellation must bo signed by five mem bers, and bo sent to tho Minister of State, who consigns it to tho commit teca, where, if i ndorsed by two Senatorial or four Legisla tive Committees, tho question may be placed before the Senate a tort nous and odious pro cess, without a single redeeming feature. Orders of tho day may bo adopted in future, subject to being returned by the Govern ment. Amendments may be moved and sub mitted to committee, without intervention of Council of State, and after being reported to and from Government, may bo passed upon finally by tho Logisl ituro. Of all concessions of tho empiro, this is perhaps tho most liberal, since it assimilates tho legislative process of Francs to that of tho United States, saving tint amendments in tho French body nroiimde liable to delay and defeat by passing through Government hands. The provision for cim Mdering tho budget in detail is another ap preciable reform, and ono of tho inot im portant of the list provides that future modi licnfions of customs or postal tariffs, by means of international treaty, can bo made obligatory only by virtuo of a law passe 1 to that cll'ect. This imperial renunciation of (tifoicing, without legislative sanction, changes in fho larilf, condemns tho Emperor's revenue policy in tho last ten years, and is parently a good blow at French and English free trade. Here ends tho imperial plait of refoim. We sec it reported, however, that the positions of Secretary-General and Director General of tho Ministries, General of tho Army, and Vicc-Admiral of tho Navy, Presi dent of tho Court of Appeal, Procurator Gcnernl. and member of the Court of Cassa tion, will bo made consistent with a scat in tho Chamber. It has been proposed, likewise, that Senators shall be disabled from holding other ofticcs in the State besides their legis lative posts, but we have littlo hopo that such will prove the case. The rumor of an impe rial disposition to increase tho membership of tho Senate is significant only of a desire to add to tho number of tho manufactured friends and champions of tho empire. Al ready the Senate has rejected the proposition that Senators shall bo chosen by the Councils General in faint imitation of our Senatorial elections by State Legislatures. An amend ment to the imperial plan, providing for con ference committees between tho Senate and Corps, hns been wisely introduced, and will in all probability pass. Thus stands French reform in the present year of grace. Impelled to all the conces sions ho has made by the regenerative wave of French opinion surging up from the ro sults of the late elections, we can only credit the Emperor with the mathematical merit of having calculated shrewdly the amount of carpenter-work which will save his throne for the time being. M. Thiers declares that per sonal government is at an end, and so it ap pears. M. Glais-Bizoin fears that the Em peror will artfully take back tho liberties he has granted. M. Favro desires to believe that France, which has no sovereign but liberty, can march to reform without revolu tion. M. Honker is of opinion that the empire is sufficiently popular to go hand in hand with liberty. MM, ltochefort and ltas pail believe in tho revolutionary spirit, and bide the revolutionary occasion. M. Louis Napoleon Bonapurte has, if wo heard him aright, made his last tangible concession, but we doubt if tho Emperor of a growing coun try can put an unalterable limit to the French capacity for interpellation or the imperial convenience of response. Altogether the auguries are not extremely hostile to his Majesty, and Franco may go into training again for another crisis. A PERAMBULATING CAPITAL. From the X. Y. Sun. The citizens of St. Louis desiro the removal of the national capital from "Washington to tho Mississippi valley. They held a meeting to consider the question on the 10th of this month, nnd resolutions were passed in favor of calling a convention composed of delegates from all tho States, to consider tho whole subject, and secure if possible tho desired removal. A committee was appointed with authority to arrange for the holding of the convention contemplated in the resolutions. The meeting was enthusiastic, and was ad dressed by tho most prominent citizens of St. Louis. There can be no doubt that the ob ject in view is to make St. Louis tho national capital, although this was not expressly avowed in the resolutions. This proposal to move the capital seems to us unnecessary and untimely. There are few countries in the world in which tho capital occupies a central geographical position. Theretore it cannot be said that precedents are against the situation of Washington. It is true that in Europe the capitals of States are usually the largest and most important cities; but, following tho analogy, the capital of the United States should be, not a city in llio Mississippi alley, but the city of New York, the metropolis of tho country to-dav. and destined to remain so as long as our his tory sliall endure. The Government has spent enormous sums of money at Washington, which have been only wasted if tho capital is to be removed. Similar buildings would have to be erected elsewhere, at an expenso far exceeding that of those at Washington ; for none which are suitable for tho purposes of tho Government exist in any other city in the Union. What advantage can be found in a change ? vasmngton is ireo Irom very niany of the corrupt political lnnuences wiiien almost in evitnbly make themselves felt in a great city. There is corruption there, it is true, but only that which surrounds tho National Govern ment. Tho political wickedness of a great city is not added to this. The increased facility and rapidity of travel consequent upon the increase in tho number of railroads and other means of communica tion throughout the land, render it of very littlo importance that tho national capital should bo situated at the geographical centre. The argument to tho contrary loses all its force when we remember that tho journey from Mm rraneiseo to JNew seven days. York oecnnins W If the capital of the Unite ! States is ever to be removed from Washington, it should not bo now. Tho country is in a condition of perpetual progression, which renders it im possible to foresee its future wants. A course of action which may seem best now would bo likely to seem very different when the great Western country is densely populated. We favor every kind of change which soems likely to prove beneficial; but this proposal with reference to tho national capital does not seem so to us. ! TENDLETON'S PROSPECTS. From thr X. Y. World. ' Republican papers which felicitate thoui selves upon tho probablo defeat of Mr. Pen dleton, on account of supposed djiTorouces TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, among the Pomocrats of -Oliio with regard to their candidate's financial policy and other issues, are over-hasty in jumping nt conclu sions. Thcso papers, by-the-by, are mainly at the East; tho Western papers are bolter informed, and tho Cincinnati Commerrinl, tho shrewdest and ablest Republican journal at the West and it ha few, if any. superiors in any section confesses that Mr. Pendleton is a very strong candidate, and that it will bo difficult to defeat him. This view of the matter is just, for tho fol lowing reasons: Mr. Pendleton has a per sonal prestige which attaches to no other candidate whom the Democrats in that Kta'e could have nominated. No man at tho West has more or warmer personal friends. This largo personal following will make tho cam paign an interesting and exciting ono, for many prominent men in Ohio will feel and take a strong aud immediate interest in tho. success of their candidate. In the next place, Mr. Pendleton is a confessed candidate for tho Presidency; and this fact, which really introduces a Presidential issue in this Slate canvass, will bring out all tho energy, vigor, nnil hearty good-will of tho whole Democratic party, as well ns of Mr. Pendleton's immediate lriends. It is a fact which will fuse the dif ferences if there are any in tho party in Ohio into a solid and substantial settlement. A Presidential issuo in a State election always brings out the whole strength of the party; anil, as Mr. Pendleton's success in this election will put him in the very front rank of candidates before the next Democratic Convention to nominate a successor to Mr. Grant, the Ohio Democrats, with this cud in view, will work with unusual will. On the other hand, Mr. Hayes, tho Repub lican candidate, has nothing beyond his Re publicanism to commend him to his party, lie has no personal popularity to speak of. lie lias displayed no executive ability, lie is running upon the smallest amount of political capital. The Republicans in Ohio, as in other States, are suffering from tho reaction of tho late Presidential election. They are disgusted with Grant, and they may let the election go by default for the sake of rebuking their Pre sident. The same motive, too, which will prompt tho Democrats to put forth their strongest efforts to wit: tho prominence which Mr. Pendleton's success will give him in tho next Democratic Presidential Conven tion will unquestionably influenco many Republicans who would like to see Mr. Pen dleton foremost among the candidates, in tho hopo of creating dissensions in that same con vention. They will consider this a bit of strategy worth sacrificing Hayes for. All these things considered, the probabili ties highly favor tho election of Mr. Pendleton, and every Democrat in tho country will re joice in his success. SICKLES. From the X. Y. World. "We take the liberty of doubting the statement that Senator Sumner has taken pains to write a let ter to a irit-ud of (ieneral blckles, guaranteeing the continuation of that person as Minister to Spain, when the matter should come before tho Senate. Sir. Sumner is not In the habit of doing sitcn things, ami lie ought to Know the true character of Sickles too well even to vote lor ins cimiii uminiii, much more to undertake to carry it through tne Senate, it was bad enough in (ieneral Grant to nominate him; but It will lie far worse to nave the Semite confirm him. bet lum come home and go to some place where his past reputation will be less In the way, anil ins taienis, wiucii are uoi, biuu.ii, inny Vie more useful." Hjininjjield lieiubUcan. We have littlo hope for the virtuo of the Radical Senate. If it rejects Sickles it will take advantage of the Kilpatrick law, and put that rejection upon a technicality which should bo grounded on the country s honor. e have never denied tlie services of Sick les to his party, nor objected to their requital in some decent manner, r ew men liavo done the Radical party more effectual service than ho. When dirty work was to bo done, ho has performed his nllotted task with congenial facility. Certainly, the Radical party is under the most weighty obligations to lum, but it was not necessary that those obligations should be requited, by General Grant, with a foreign mission which imposes his presence upon the refined and pure society of a foreign apitaf, and inflicts an lnsutt upon every honest man and every virtuous woman in tho society which ho is assigned to ropresent. It is an insult to the army and a degrada tion of its exi.rit de rorjm that he should bo in it; but is there no office of profit, but not of honor, to which he can be assigned, where his unquestioned talents may have play, whore his opportunities lor stealing would be small, and where his life might be obscure and his past forgotten ? or will tho pious Dodge aud tho honest Greoley insist upon eminence for this object of their "friendship, respect, aud esteem c THE KEYSTONE STATE AND THE QUEEN OF THE ANTILLES. From the X. Y. Herald. Philadelphia lawyers, with tho United States authorities and naval officers serving in and off that city, have been in the enjoy ment of a sensation. It relates to Cuba; and filibusters, woodpiles, revolvers, with shotted guns, and "heaving to" at sea make up the exciting causes and conseo nonces. The steamer Hornet left tho port of Philadelphia last Saturday. It was immediately rumored that she was bound for Cuba, having a band of terrible fellows on board. As very few steamers leave the port of Philadelphia, tho novelty of the occasion of her sailing may have given rise to tno report. A public luss on sued, United States Marshal Gregory, United States army captain, with a United States naval officer, participating. They con suited about tho neutrality laws, and then started a Lmted States steamer in pursuit, tho army officer having, it is to bo presumed given nuvice as to tho. treatment, of any tlli blistering recruit of tho "horse marine" corps who should bo found on board. Tho com mander of the United States vessel, as wo are told, overhauled fho Hornet, "let fly" at her Witn a iJianii cai'trnlye, aud then stood on with a "shotted gun," just as in tho fine ol days of the war. The Hornet "came to. She was boarded, and the articles, such as we nave enumerated above, were found. Twenty live men were also seized. The Hornet has been turned over by the United States Mar shal nnd laid under the iruns of tho Govern ment steamer. It is gallant work and good for l'hiladelnhia. ns tho event will not start! i (be Quaker not mint ion overmuch. President I Grant's men are "around."
