MiailATIOKvS OF SOUTHERN I'OrULA-
TION.
Frew the A. Y. Tribune.
An army officer who Las for Home years
bold chief command in one of the Gulf
HtatoH has Irwn engaged in making obnerra
tioim nr.d collecting facts regarding certain
noteworthy movements of the elements of
population that Lave latterly been going on
in tLe South. It appears from the notes of
the General that both the whites and the
blacks of tho Southern States have begun
shifting very extensively their localitieH
the movement of the two races not being
in the name direction, but towards different
regions.
The white emigration from the old slave
States lying on the Atlantic coast, and stretch
ing to the Mississippi, has attracted the at
tention of the General. There is a great
stream of laboring whites moving from these
regions to the West, to the Arkansas and lied
rivers and to Texas. At many points on the
Mississippi tho boats have not been able to
put them across fast enough. It Las seemed
of late as though South Carolina, Georgia,
and Alabama would be depopulated of that
clement which formed the only link between
the dominant white and the laboring black.
The General Bays that, a short while ago, he
travelled through Eastern Alabama witn a
largo body of white emigrants; and he has
come to tho conclusion, after careful observa
tion, that not less than 20,000 whites have left
Georgia and Alabama within the year for
Arkansas and Texas. The General accounts
for these movements thus: The white man,
having at last discovered that he must work,
is going, with all Lis household gods, where
land is cheap and grain plenty, and where
he can own the soil.
In regard to the f reedmen of the Southern
States, the General Las observed that there is
a Tery extensive movement of the colored
population to the "black belt" that belt of
counties reaching from the Sea Islands ia
South Carolina, westward through Middle
Georgia, Middle and Southern Alabama, Mis
sissippi, and Louisiana. lie says that the
place of the whites departing from that region
will be filled by the blacks who are moving in
that direction, and whom he regards as the
"only real emigrants" thither. He believes
that if the colored poople were educated so
that they could write to their friends and re
present matters to them, there would be
an exodus of these people much greater than
what Las yet been seen from the more
northerly ports of the Southern States to
'what he alternately designates as the "cotton
belt" and the "black belt." As it is, the
exodus is as yet limited, though it is none the
less certain and definite. By reason of these
movements now in progress the movement
of the laboring white westward and the colored
freedman southward the General believes
that there will be a great change in the ele
ments of population in certain parts of the
Southern States. It appears to him assured
that the status will be this: tho old slave
master will be face to face with bis old slave,
now a freeman; and the negro will inhabit
the black belt, and control it.
In so far as the observations of the General
indicate facts that have come under his own
notice, we recognize their value and import
ance. In so far as he indulges in speculation,
it is not necessary that we should assent to
them all to admit their interest. Some of the
statements Lave been confirmed in a remark1
able manner by advices we Lave received and
news we have published, from time to time,
from other sources. We have had corres
pondence from the far South alluding to the
westward emigration of the poorer classes of
whites; and the reason generally assigned for
this emigration has been the same the diffi
culty which poor men find in becoming
idndtoldcrs in the older States of the South,
and the facility with which they can
acquire land in the newer States of the
southwest.' The southward movement of
the colored population has also been fre
quently referred to in our letters from tho
more northerly parts of the old slave States.
Only a few days ago our Washington corre
spondent sent as Bone interesting news from
Virginia on this subject. By this it appears
that the active demand lor negro labor in the
far South is showing itself by the extraordi
nary efforts that are being made to secure
colored emigration from Virginia. There are
labor agents there representing whole com
munities of planters in the Gulf States. In
the principal cities of Virginia they are doing
an active business in hiring hands for the
cotton and cane plantations of Mississippi,
Louisiana, and Alabama. One of these agents
advertises for negroes by thousands at from
ifc'l.r to $22r0 per month; and in some cases
additional inducements are offered, such as
separate houses, rations, garden-patches,
privilege to raise pigs, fowls, etc., and free
transportation by rail. It certainly is not
wonderful if,J with such attractions, there
should be a rapid growth of the colored
population of the Gulf States, and a rapid
decreatie in Virginia and other border States.
The subject, in all its incidents and bear
ings, is one of very great importance. We
hope to obtain such additional information
about it as will enlighten us concerning its
consequences. Particular pains, we hope,
may be taken by the superintendent of the
forthcoming Census to gather all possible
facts on the various feature of these move
ments of population.
ANOTHER GREAT STATESMAN AGAINST
CUBA.
jPreiN the X. T. Sun,
Mr. Mark Twain favors the publio with his
views concerning the Cuban revolution. They
seem to be of about the same tenor and value
as those which Mr. Secretary Fish has occa
sionally avowed. We quote the summing up
of Mr. Twain's opinions:
In his seir-sacrlUciriK struggles for his country's
freedom the C'nt)u patriot makes valorous usb of
every ineitiod ami every contrivance that can aid
the good cause. Murder, theft, ourglttry, arson,
asMatHinaliou, rape, poison, treachery, mendai.itv,
fratricide, matricide, Inmlcldo, paiTioldo, and ull
oldev hut Biili'idu are instruments in his hands for
the salvation or his native land; and the same are
liistruuietts In the hands of tile 'oppressor' for the
damnation of the name. Both parties, patriots ami
Government servants alike, stand ready at an?
moment, apparently, to seh out body, soul, and
boots, polhk'H, religion, and principles, to uuy'oody
that will buy ; and iney deem equally ready to give
tue came away for nothing wuenever tlielr lives
stand in pen'. HcaIi sides iuawtac.ru thair prisoners;
both hlden are as proud of burning a deserted plan
tation, or conquering, rapturing, scalping, aud Kkin
ldug a crippled, blind l'Uot. as any civilized army
would he of taking a fortlud city ; both sides make
a grand school-boy pow-vow over it every time jliey
light all day long, and kill a couple of sick women,
and dlHublo a juokuns; both shU-H I'e, and brag, ami
betray, and rob, and destroy; a happy majority of
boih bides are fauta3tlc in costume, grotesque in
manner, half-rtvilUci, unwashed, Ignorant, bigoted,
MeillHh, base, i.rnei, brutal, swaggering, pluututlou
burning semi-devils, and it l nevoutly to be hopl
that an all-wise Providence will penult them to go
on eating earn other up until th"e Isn't enojgU
led of the UKt ragamuffin of ths lot to hold an iu
juet on. Aiueu."
TLe spirit of tlm fbHcryftUpng is identical
with that of : tho Tharisee who "stood and
prayed thus with himself: God, I thank
Thee that I am not as other men." Mr.
Twain's self-conceit and self-glorification to
say nothing of his indifference' to right and
wrong nre Mimething miraculous. Nothing
enceeds them but his falsehood.
It is false that the Cubans have conducted
their war with barbarity They are net a
base, a cruel, nor a treacherous race of jpflf. J
pie; end no instance can be demonstrated in '
which they have gone beyond the bounds of
legitimate civilized warfare.
It is fultio that they have committed mur
der, assassination, rape, matricide, or tho
other crimes which this literary mountebank
alleges.
It is false that they Lave been ready to
sell their principles or their cause, or are
now ready to do so. If they could have been
bribed, tho revolution would have been ended
long ago. If they could bo bought up now,
it would not last a week longer.
It is false that they massacre their pri
soners. It is false that they mutilate the blind and
helpless Spaniards who fall into their hands.
It is false that the Cubans are half-civilized,
ignorant, brutal, swaggering semi
devils. We Lave known them long and well;
and gentlemen of better principles, higher
honor, more genuine cultivation, more civil
ized and refined manners, cannot be found in
any country. We have never had the plea
sure of beholding Mr. Twain, either in his
ordinary costume or when dressed to appear
as a clown in the ring; but he must be much
more of a man than he Las ever shown any
sign of being, to bear comparison with those
he 10 recklessly belies.
We are happy, however, to say that in one
respect Mr. Twain does not depart from the
fact. lie says that the Cubans are ''fantastic
in costume," and this is true. Without organi
zation, military education, experience, or re
sources, they have been waging war for fifteen
months against an organized enemy possess
ing all these things, able to supply arms, am
munition, and clothing in abundance to all his
soldiers, and with a numerous fleet, which the
United States Lave just trebled, to guard the
Cuban- coasts and keep tho patriots from re
ceiving supplies. Under these circumstances
tho Cubans have necessarily fallen off very
much in tho completeness of their wardrobes.
For instnncc, most of them have no shoes;
most of them have very poor hats, if they
Lave any at all; most of them are in rags;
most of them are without medicines when
sick or wounded; and this interferes with
their personal appearance. In short, they are
in as bad a condition as was Washington's
army at Valley Forge. But they do not com
plain of these inconveniences, for they possess
what is of more value than fine clothing an
honest hatred of the intolerable oppression of
Spain, and a firm resolution to make their
country free and independent. If their cos
tume is fantastic, their hearts are right, their
purpose deserves the sympathy and applause
of all good men, and their cause is sure to
triumph in the end.
We say their cause is sure to triumph, and
our confidence is based not merely on its
justice, but on one of the reasons for which
both Mr. Fish and Mr. Mark Twain honor it
with their disapprobation. We refer to the
fact that the Cubans have not fought nor at
tempted to fight a great and decisive battle.
Such battles are no doubt more showy than
the guerilla warfare which they have adopted;
but with their small forces they have only
40,000 men armed w ith guns to cover all their
vast territory and with their limited and
precarious resources, they are not sure of
being able to get any more guns or ammuni
tion it would be criminal folly, insanity, for
their leaders to peril all upon the issue of any
single conilict. Their only safe policy is to
wear out their enemy by constant alerts and
Larassments, and not attempt to crush Liui
by any grand operations.
They cannot afford to run any risks, and
we aro glad to be able to report now, as we
reported a year ago, that their windom is
equal to the exigency of their situation.
Spain sends a new army of 20,000 men to
make good the losses of the last campaign,
and there is but one proper way to deal with
them. If the Cubans could obtain an un
limited supply of arms and other material of
war, if they could arm a hundred thousand
men for active campaigning, they could make
Bhorter work of it; but that is out of the
question. They must proceed cautiously,
taking no chances that they can avoid, and
keeping always in view as their object, to
use up their opponents without ever giving
them a chance to use up the revolution.
This is a tedious method, and not satisfac
tory to soldiers on tho grand scale like Mr.
Twain and Mr. Fish; but it is eminently satis
factory to all who wish for the emancipation
of Cuba, because it is the only way that is
sure to win.
BOnEMIA AND IRELAND.
.From the London Saturday Heviete.
Great Britain is not tho only country in
Europe with an Ireland. Every race except
the Italian Las made the effort to assimilate
some population different from itself under
more or less favorable conditions, and every
race, except, indeed, tho French, Las failed.
The exception is no doubt an extremely
noteworthy one. The Frenchman, who can
not colonize, who never sympathizes with
another race, and who has never been able to
conciliate dependent peoples, can and does
absorb men of many races, languages, and
creeds so perfectly that in a generation their
descendants talk and act as ardent French
men. There has not, since the Revolution,
been a serious insurrection in France based
on a desire for independence, and Napoleon
can rely on a Strasburgher or Savoyard as
fully as on a Parisian or Norman. The Dane,
however, with every advanluge of title, of
position, and of race, failed utterly to reconcile
the Holsteiners; Prussia has rather supers'- led
than conciliated the Poles of Posen; Russia
has been defied by Poles when defiance was
so hopeless as to resemble lnnaoy; and Aus
tria in vain endeavors to conciliate or even
to negotiate with races who have obeyed her
implicitly for centuries. The speech deli--vered
by tho Kaiser fo tho Reiebsralh is full
of half-concealed fear lest the populations of
the German side of the Leitha should asx
tems inconsistent with the existence of the
constitutional empire, and it ia thoroughly
understood that these fears are not tho pro
duct of his own imagination; Everybody in
Austria is demanding repeal at once. The
Hungarians have actually go it, and might,
one would think, be content, but they are
carrying nationality to lengths which make
even alliance an almost impossible arrange
ment. Thoy ere bound to assist the empire
in all wars, and they Lave not violated
the obligation, but their assistance iu
Dalmatia iu neither liberal nor cor
dial. They say Dalmatia is thoirs,
which may or may not be right, and
they do not want to reconquer it except for
tnembcives, wiiicn must be wrong on any
view of their imperial obligations. TLe atti
tude of the Bohemians, or rather of the
Czech population of Bohemia, is, however,
tLe ww extraordinary, iroiu the geographi
cal position of their country, an almost com
plete enclave iu Germany, it is nearly impos
sible that they should ever form an inde
pendent people. If Austria abandoned them,
North Germany would swallow them up; and
if Russia protected them against both, their
country would be but a province ruled from
St. Petersburg. Moreover, the Bohemians
re not five millions iu all, and among the
wires millions of Czechs reside two millions
of Germans, who, in the event of an insur
rection, would to a man side with their coun
trymen against a race whom they regard as
radically inferior. Tho Czechs are admitted
to all political privileges, send up their full
complement of members to the ltcichsrath,
are taxed as all other Austrians nre
taxed, have, in fact, but a sin
gle grievance common to them, and all
German, Spanish, and Italian-speaking people
within France, that no effort is made to keep
up, far less to cultivate, their language.
Their nationality, they say, as tho Welsh say,
is dying slowly out. Nevertheless, so little
have the Germans, with all their resources,
and their culture, and their belief in them
selves, succeeded in subduing or conciliating
the Czechs, that they are agitating for "re
peal," that is, for the concession of further
powers to the local Diet; and they press for a
revision ot the electoral law, in order that
they may send up only Czechs, and so influ
ence the Reichsrath on behalf of federalism.
The old difficulty of the empire, the struggle
between the unitarian and the federal princi
ples, appeased for a moment by the conces
sion of dualism, Las revived again, this time
within one of the co-ordinate powers.
The success or failure of this movement in.
Bohemia, and in many places similarly situ
ated, will depend upon a very curious ques
tion, which the most thoughtful politicians
will be the most reluctant to answer prema
turely. There can bo little doubt, in spite of
tLe American war, of Sadowo, and of a very
diffused tendency towards the agglomeration
of great States, that civilization does exer
cise a certain seperating influence among
races. As they advance, they perceive the
differences between them more keenly, re
cognize more clearly the breaks in their in
terests, their habits, and their civilizations.
Ireland is not nearer in sympathy to Britain,
Poland to Russia, Naples to North Italy, Bo
hemia to Germany, Hungary to Austria, the
Turkish States to Constantinople, than
they were a century or two ago;
but if anything, rather less near, rather
more conscious of separate existence. Is that
consciousness a temporary or a permanent
feature iu modern politics ? If it is tempo
rary, tho world may go on without immense
changes in tho existing distribution of politi
cal power; the nations, as we call them, may
last intact for ccntnries; but if it is permanent,
they must sooner or later fly to pieces, and
the world be recast as regards its foreign
politics. On the whole, and with extreme
diffidence, we incline to believe that the
movement is not permanent, but it is the
result, first, of the temporary disuse of one
centralizing influence, physical force; and,
secondly, of the immense increase in the appa
rent volume, as distinguished from the mo
mentum, of all political movements whatso
ever. Nations rebel more than they used,
because rebellion is very much safer. If a
nationality propounded claims of its own as
against Rome, Rome swept it out of existence,
and the sovereigns of modern Europe, till
lately, have not been much more merciful.
If Ireland had wanted a now tenure or Bo
hemia cried for autonomy a century ago,
both would have been Leld down by
force, tLeir cities fired, their people
slaughtered ii heaps, until they had either
abandoned those indiscreet wishes, or post
poned their realization to the day when all
things will come right. Now the highest
penalty which falls upon them is a solemn
lecture on the impropriety of tLeir conduct,
or, in extreme cases, an increase of a garrison
whih attacks nobody and nobody need at
tack. Supposing tiie disposition to sepa
ratism to be no stronger than before, this
new facility of expression would make it seem
stronger; and tho seeming strength is indefi-
kitely increased by the multitude of voices,
r i.l- - c i. tsa
unco iiicapnuio ui cpeecn, now jubi biuii
ciently developed to join in chorus. The
Irish kerne hated us just us much as the Tip
perary Fenian, but he had not the power to
send up a political prisoner as Lis chosen
representative. The Bohemian serf fought
far more desperately against Austria than the
Bohemian peasant, but he Lad not the same
idea of swelling the cry proceeding from a
few isolated leaders. The armies of disaffec
tion were always there. They are, we be
lieve, no stronger, but they have a power of
combined shouting which does not increoso
the difficulty either of negotiation or coercion,
but only compels tho General Government to
negotiate with the people instead of a class,
or to coerce through popular armies instead
of a small trained force.
MEXICO DURING GRANT'S ADMINIS
TRATION. From the N. Y. Herald.
In reviewing the history of Mexico since
tLe restoration of President Juarez to power,
and more especially the history of Ler
finances, it cannot foil to be observed that
notwithstanding the labored and unsuccessful
effort of Mr. Payno, Ler eminent statistician
and ex-Secretary of tho Treasury, to prove,
in an immense volume published by the re-
Eublicnn authorities in lCH, that Maximilian
ad left an unfortunate and disastrous finan
cial record, still the present administration
in that bedridden country is doing sadly
worse tban the executed Emperor apparently
oblivious of the fact that there is a condition
which a people may reach more destructive
than bankruptcy. With reference to the
policy of l'resident Juarez or Mr. Romero in
failing to' pay for the arms and munitions
furnished to the republic of Mexico in her
late struggle against imperial intervention,
it may at least be said in its favor that
while it strikes a blow at the national credit,
it yet Las tho single redeeming feature
of rendering it difficult for any revolutionary
party to purchase material of war with which
to overthrow tho Government. Tho revenues
which Lave accrued to the nation, as shown
by tLe reports of Mr. Romero for tho fiscal
years ending June :$0, 18GS, and June oO,
18b!), Lave furnished barely sufficient funds
for the mcagro support of the civil employes
of the nation and of a standing army of
twenty-five thousand men the latter being
absolutely necessary for tho existence of any
semblance of a government in Mexico for a
single hour. Native and foreign creditors of
the nation see no prospect of a speedy or dis
tant payment of principal er interest, and
foreign capital has been leaving tho country
for investment within more hospitable shores.
With such a condition of commerce and
publio credit, tho revenues, which in 1KI8
reached only about twenty millions of dollars
and in lti!i eleven millions of dollars, pro
mise in the year ending June i!0, lb 70, not to
exceed eight or ten millions scarcely suffi
cient to sustain the Government, and with
the English and Spanish creditors clamorous
for their interest money, now wnpaid for
about three Yture, to suy nothing of tit
holders of the American loan of three millions
of dollars, and a further obligation of magni
tude which promises to become a national
debt, with tho United States as the creditor,
resulting from the labors of the Mexican com
mission now in session at Washington.
While these complications are accumulating
and becoming more or less aggregated, the in
dications are that the intornal and political
disease of the country is becoming most alarm
ing and perhaps fatal. The desperation of
that portion of the liberal party which is not
in accord with President Juarez is becoming
marked, and there are rumors that it threat
ens a fusion with the old Church party, with
tho view of overturning the Government be
fore tho end of this Presidential terra. Pre
texts for such a measure will be abundant.
The ambition of Mr. Lordo, l'resident Juarez's
Secretary of State, it is believed, is driving
the former to grasp after the Presidency, aud,
although professedly less talented than Lis
brother Miguel, ho desires to Land his name
down to posterity by having his portrait hung
among those of tho Presidents of Mexico.
The positivencss with which this Mexican
statesman assumed the front on the occasion
of tho recent banquets given to Mr. Seward in
the halls of the Montezumas, thus sparing Mr.
Romero from the attacks of his enemies and
the vituperations of an opposition press, is
characteristic of the man; and that act and the
comparative quietness of Mr. Romero con
firmed tho fact that Mr. Seward was a guest
of the nation, and not of Mr. Romero. Mr.
Lerdo is fearless as well as ambitious. He
will most Lkely find pitted against him for
tho Presidency General Portirio Diaz, and
should the contest wage too warmly, it is not
unlikely that l'resident Juarez may consent
to bo nominated as a third candidate, and
Eossibly may bo elected. This election is to
e held about the time of the rising from its
session of tho "Mexican Commission," and
bids fair to be the signsl for the Bword and
the firebrand. 4 Should such a condition of
things ensue, then, or earlier, as is most
probable, the administration of General
Grant, representing anation which Las already
assumod responsibilities in the affairs of
Mexico, may have it in its power, and may
feel it to be its duty, to invite Mexico to
"have peace," through the medium of a loan
properly secured to our Treasury, by
which tho Government "on tho throne"
in Mexico may at least subdue its restive peo
ple for a while, or, if refused, through tho me
dium of "moral suasion" vigorously applied.
TOE TAXES AND THE DEBT.
F'om the 2f. Y. Time.
The cry still is, "Reduce the taxes!'' Tho
trading class is literally a unit in favor of
reduction. TLe farmers are compelled, y
falling prices, to pray for it as a measure ab
solutely necessary. TLe mechanics and la
borers, who bore the hardship of high prices
without a murmur while they were incident
to a great national struggle, protest against
that continuance of high prices which proceeds
from exorbitant taxation. On no other
subject are the people half so united or half
so decided. They complain of the taxes as
a burden beyond their strength. They know
that much of tho depression which afflicts
industry, and much of the bitterness and
peril of the trial which every branch of
trade endures, grow out of the present
system of taxation. We are sustaining the
fiscal strain of war in a period of peace. We
are paying the penalties of war years after the
necessity for their exaction ceased. Hence the
depth and universality of the demand for re
lief. East and West, North and South, insist
upon it as a measure of justice and expe
diency of justice, because this rate of taxa
tion is in excess of the legitimate require
ments of the Government; of expediency, be
cause a diminution of the load is essential to
the safety of great and varied interests, enter
ing into the sum of national prosperity. The
journal) which oppose the demand are for the
most part advocates of monopoly; they would
withhold relief from tho people for tho ag
grandizement of special interests, and the
promotion of a policy that would precipitate
resumption of specie payments at any cost.
The mistake of Mr. Boutwell's policy is
ihat it aims at concentrating effort upon tLe
reduction of debt long in advance of its ma
turity, regardless of the saffering and loss
which that effort entails upon commerce and
industry. It is persisted in, moreover, with
strange indifference to tho fact that the
nearer we approach resumption tho heavier
existing burdens become, and that if resump
tion were effected the collection of these bur
dens would be simply impossible. Values
are falling, but taxes remain the same. The
farmer receives less for his products, the
merchant less for his goods, the workman
less for his lubor, while the exactions of the
Government continue unabated. Supposing
specie payments to be restored without pre
vious reform in the matter of taxation, the
result would virtually be an increase of taxa
tion; for though tho rate remained the same,
the available means of the taxpayers would
be reduced. The effect of such a condition
of things cannot be doubted. Such taxes in
such circumstances could not be collected.
There would be a falling oft' in the revenue
at a time w hen its prompt and full collection
would be of tho highest importance to the
credit of tho Government.
It is not more certain that a return to spe
cie payments is a work of years than that its
accomplishment must be preceded by a large,
well-considered, and eminently just reduc
tion of taxes. No prudent financier dreams
of Lurrying resumption. Charlatans may
talk of its feasibility, and interested classes
will, for reasons of their own, foster the
delusion; but practical persons, who have
studied the experience of other countries,
and know the difficulties which beset the
; trade and industry of the United States, are
content to await the influence of timo upon
the national resources, and the operation of
natural laws upon all the elements of pro
ductive wealth. Theories are worthless in
such a case as this. Departmental or legis
lative declarations in favor of immediate re
sumption are mere legerdemain. The thing
cannot bo hastened without imperilling vast
interests. But it may bo facilitated by thrift
and prudence on the part of the Government,
aud the country muy be prepared for its
action by lightening tho load of taxation.
The Secretary of the Treasury fails to com
prehend the course of publio opinion if he
imagines that the story of what be is doing
with the debt will reconcile the people to the
burden ' ho would perpetuate. They are in
earnest in the cry for reduction of taxes.
And if there is not to be reduction, large and
, immediate, the country will hold a Repnbli
can administration and a Republican Con-
! gress responsible
