THE NEW SOUTH.
from the A. Y. Time.
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."
