IN BEHALF OF JENKINS. -Tm
tht N. T. World. (
If ingratitudo enn properly he predicated of
republic, with etill grunter propriety can it
be attributed to the public. Thona whonerve
the publio faithfully and well, who minister
to it pronperity wid it plcnHiir, are repaid
with suspicion and nom. . Of thin the hard
and thankless- lot of Jenkins f m'nUheH a fami
liar illustration. Jenkins exists but to satisfy
the curious craving of the public. He fulfils
the mission of Lis life with a laborious and
aelf -abnegating thoroughness and he wins
the sneers and sarcasms of those for whom be
toiln. Since the ingratitudo of the vegetables
to II. G., and their refusal to make remune
rative the farm of the philosopher who for
years bad been the prophet of vegetarianism
and a purely vegetable person ia bis private
diet, there has been no instance of ingrati
tude so gross and inexcusable as that of the
public to its fond and faithful Jenkins.
The eminently prosaic Jenkins, like a sort
of reversed poet, was made, not born. The
publio demanded bim, and be sprang into
being full armed with pencil And note-book.
Or be may be said to have been developed
from the ordinary reporter of a former period
by the changed conditions of the modern
Ereis. At all events he is not responsible for
is existence. The publio, whose tastes are
totally different to-day from what they were
fifty years ago, has compelled the journalism
of the period to deal with sooial topics, in
stead of questions of political philosophy or
abstract morals. It bus thus made Jenkins a
necessity. Why, then, should it deride the
patient investigator who collects the speci
mens which the editor must use in bis fre
quent lectures upon the social strata, their
origin, their upheaval, their convolutions,
and their suggestive dip ?
The press during the last half century has
undergone a change strictly analogous to that
which has modified the whole character of
English notion. Onco the novel-writers of
whom Airs, Radoliffe may be taken as an ex
amplerefused to deal with anything purely
natural or approximately probable, but
peopled the world of their creation with pre
posterous ghosts and intolerable phantoms.
To the unearthly novel succeeded the tale in
which heroes of impossible perfection went
through an inconceivable courtship with
heroines of irritating excellence. Sir Wal-
ter Scott, though his creations were aotual
men and women, still insisted upon showing
them to us only when surrounded by a halo
of romance that perceptibly removed them
from the prosaio people of everyday life. It
has been left for the modern novelist of
whom Anthony Trollope is the most perfect
type to present us with novels in which the
commonplace people whom everyone knows
rehearse their commonplace lives, without the
slightest tint of romantio heroism or of Benti
mental poetry. And Trollope is the most
popular novelist in the language !
In like manner, the press has gradually
ceased to discuss the lofty theories of politi
cal philosophy, or to teach the public morality
solely by sermons ot cnurcmy longth and
solemnity, and has become n mirror of social
life. People now read a newspaper in order
to learn what other people are doing. The
progress of Russia towards tho Himalayas in
terests tneiu less than the progress of rrinoe
Arthur towards Washington. The probable
effect of the Suez Canal does notooncorn
them as closely as the actual occurrences at
the Charity ball. We are emphatically in the
nge of sociology, and we demand that the
press shall fell us of the things which concern
us in our relations to our neighbors rather
than of the affairs of Thibet and Lapland.
Wherefore Jenkins lives and moves and
has his inquisitive being. He satisfies the
curiosity of the publio a curiosity which
may sometimes be carried to exoess, but which
is in the main strictly innocent, and is more
over a characteristic of the age in which we
live. The publio insists upon knowing bow
Mr. James Fisk looks when in the act of
thanking Gorbin for his share in the success
of the gold corner, and in what priestly robes
Mr. Horace UooKe arrays himself when he
repeats the comminated service with especial
reference to the editorial fratenity. The
rnasouline publio is interested in the tricks
and the manners of the women who con
spire to wrest the soeptre of porer from
the men, and those of the fair sex who
are yet loyal to the lords of creation
are devoured by a curiosity to know bow the
female champion of feminine rights really
look. It is Jenkins who supplies this thirst
for information. It is Jenkins who "inter
views" the financier in his opera house, the
clerical transgressor in bis cell, and the
woman who talks in the stronghold where
alio harangues her followers. The wondrous
tales which the benevolent Jenkins unfolds
are eagerly read, and then the self-sacrinoing
unf older is denounced and vilified. Surely
Jenkins is the most ill-used of men. He is
created, used, and scornfully maligned by a
publio which would be inconsolable at bis
loss, now much more creditable would the
conduct of the public be were it to form so
cieties for the prevention of oruelty to Jen
kins, and to exert itself to ameliorate the
physical and moral condition of its most in
dispensable servant!
THE NEW SOUTHERN BALANCE OF
POWER AND THE NEXT PRESIDENCY.
From tht K. Y. Uerald.
The bill passed for the restoration of Vir
ginia determined the final conditions to Mis
sissippi and Texas, the two remaining outside
mates. Within a tew weeks on the same
terms, we expect they will be reinstated in
Congress and restored to the control of their
local affairs, when the transition epoch of
Congressional edicts and bouthorn military
district commanders will be ended, and the
new Union, under the thirteenth, fourteenth,
and fifteenth amendments of tho National
Constitution will be in full operation.
We have in these amendments a greater
revolution in the structure of the Government
than that which transferred the American
people from the crown of England to their
own institutions under the original Constitu
tion of the United Statos. The framers of
that Constitution founded it upon the sove
reignty of the people; but in its details the
Government was shaped upon the English
model. The system of Afrioan slavery planted
by lOngiand, ana even tne Airican slave trade.
were engrafted upon our original Constitution
ana protected in various speoiai provisions.
while the shame involved in these concessions
was confessed in the careful exclusion of all
such words as slave, slavery, or slaveholder
from the instrument. Its framers, however,
while driven to these shameful conces
sions for the sake of union, oonsolved them
selves with the hope that negro slavery
would, sooner or later, die out; and that the
Constitution, therefore, might so be shaped,
meantime, as to disguise its recognitions of a
ruling caste and a servile race.
crmiT or inn
,1'ftnkoe Invention of the cotton I
J wonderfnl development whioh
gin, with the
it gave to the cotton oultnro, soon made negro
slavery an invaluable Southern gold mine
ana the league of cotton planters the balance
of power in the Government. Tho political
power of this Southern oligarchy wai first
made manifest on slavery in the Minsouri
Compromise of 120, and next in the annex
ation of Texas as a concession to slavery; noxt
in the Fugitive Slave law, as a sop to Cerbe
rus, in the compromise measures of 18f0;
next in the repeal of the Missouri Compro
mise (18.4) w hereby Kansas and Nebraska,
as Territories, were opened to slavery, and
Instly in the Dred Scott decision from the
Supreme Court of the United States (18'iC),
declaring that undor our Constitution a negro
had "no rights which, a white man was bound
to respect.
'J. bene suicidal pro-slavery deorees or i
and 18.1G, in a goneral and deeply set Northern,
political reaction, finished the Southern slave
holding oligarchy; for in 1800 Linooln was
elected President on the decisive platform of
"no further extensions of slavery. For sixty
years this Southern oligarchy, with remark
able skill, boldness, and tenaoity, bad, more
or less, dictated the course of every depart
ment of the Government and every adminis
tration. So imperious and exacting, too, bad
these Southern believers in King Cotton and
slavery become that, defeated at the ballot
box, they plunged headlong into an armed
Rebellion for an independent uonrederacy
upon the corner stone of negro slavery.
Hence the tremendous revolution wbion a as
followed a revolution which has made the
Constitution of the United States of 1870 as
widely different from that of I860 as that one
differed from the oolonial system of England.
Negro slavery, whioh was the ruling element,
is extinct, and all its appendages, including
the slaveholding oligarchy, State sovereignty,
and the legally degraded caste of color, are
swept away. By the thirteenth amendment
of the Constitution slavery is abolished and
interdicted; by the fourteenth equal civil
rights to all colors are established; and by the
fifteenth, neither the United States nor any
State can abridge the right of suffrage on
account of race, color, or previous condition
of servitude. To make sure these provisions,
Congress is invested with the power to enf oroe
them.
Such is the condition of things undor which
all parties will have to fight the Presidential
battle of 1872. But the issues of the battle
will be new issues growing out of the money
question in all Us branches, and out of our
foreign relations and our foreign policy.
General Grant will doubtless be the Repub
lican candidate, and upon the old issues of
1808 and 186 1 be would probably walk over
the course. Hut they are settled, and he will
have to stand upon the measures of his ad
ministration. So far he has not exhibited
that decision of character and tenaoity of pur
pose in the Cabinet which be displayed so
euectively in tho held. He appears, indeed.
singularly chanced to tho policy of taking
things quietly, trusting to luck and risking
nothing. The chances are that this "easy-go-
happy policy will result in such a fusion of
dissatisfied popular elements in 1872 as will
need only a popular Union candidate to turn
the tide ot victory,
Here we anticipate a now Southern balance
of power. How it is to take shape we have
seen in the new departure of the old lino
Democrats and ex-Rebels of Virginia. They
accept the new order of things, they frater
nize with and cultivate the negro vote; and
the same policy generally adopted by the
Southern planters and landowners will give
them, as opponents of the dominant party,
the balance of po-yer. ven in the elections
for the next Congress, tuu balance of power
in every Southern btate from Virginia to
Texas. This foothold gained, this new South
ern party will be able, as the new Southern
balance of power, to dictate its candidate and
its policy to the National Demooratio Con
vention.
The right candidate will be a Southern man
in high favor in the North as one of the
shining Union lights of the war. Such a can
didate will still be needed to confront the
military glory of General Grant; and such
candidate is at hand in that great and sterling
bouthern Union soldier, usneral ueorsre 11.
Thomas. Virginia may well be proud of
him, and it may be truly said of bim that bis
ments are only equalled by his modesty,
Such a candidate, we say, is the man for the
opposition elements South and North. We
do not mean, However, that he should be pre
maturely brought into the field; nor that we
stand committed to any party or any candi
date. We mean that Virginia ad tho South,
in being iartner advanced under tne new con
stitution than Tammany Hall, can more effec
tively take the lead for the organization of
new opposition party for the suocession. We
mean that the anti-radical elements of the
South, by conciliating the negro, can secure
bis vote; tbat this, we expeot, will be done:
and that so we may look for a new Southern
balance of power in 1872 competent to Shape
the jJemocratlo Convention to its policy and
competent to decide the election.
THE SPANISH SITUATION.
ftm tht X. r. Timts.
A traveller onoe asking Lis way in the West
was told that there were two roads, a very de
tailed aocount of the bad qualities of which
ended with the information that one was
throe or four miles longer than the other,
"Why did you not tell me that at first," said
tne traveller, "as it settles the choice?
"Why, replied the Hoobier, "I reckon the
shorter or longer makes little odds, for no
matter which of the two roads you take, you
will heartily wish you bad taken t'other."
Such has been the experience of poor Spain
ever Bince ber last revolution. Her whole
course Bince she upset her detestable throne,
has been a distracting choice between dif
ferent paths, and a quick repentance amid
overpowering mud and rocks. She is
sick to the death of all revolutions, and yet is
in a perpetual quandary between alternatives
the practical experience of which she shrinks
from as worse yet. Every reflecting Spanish
mind bas been insufferably perplexed between
no less than four makeshifts a republic, an
indefinite regency, a military dictatorship,
and a monarchical restoration, which last
itself forked off into three uncertainties,
whether it shall be a recall of the elier Bour
bon branch or of the younger; or whether,
repudiating both alike, an entirely new and
freshroyal stock should be established. 1 It
is the worst of all possible situations, with
neither rest nor movement; oondemned to
immobility, and yet to incessant straggle;
stalled and floundering amid problems whioh
can neither be solved nor got rid of.
There was a time when it really seemed as
if General Prim was to settle the whole diffi
culty by taking the track of General Monk
when England was in like manner beset,
after the disappearance of ber Stuart mo
narchy. - Wbeu everybody else was plunged
in doubt and hesitation. Monk's oourse of
action for a royal restoration was deter

to be effectually restored, should ootue by
paoifio means, naturally, as by a national
necessity, as tho last ana oniy rosouroo for
the country. In spite of the impatience and
distrust of the majority, Prim, in like man
ner, apparently, has practised reserve, dis
simulated, procrastinated, and temporized
until a path should be opened for bim, in
some sort spontaneously, and by tho mero
force of circumstances. He would have suo-
ceeded thus in Rotting back a monarchy but
for something quite beyond his control the

Prim was fatally checkmated in this, and
now it is perfectly plain that whoever is to be
the deliverer and regonerator of distracted
Spain, he is not the man. . It is still as im
possible as ever to forecast the upshot of the
turmoil. Yet we don't consider that the case
of Spain is to be despaired of. It has been
almost invariably true that whenever nations
have been stirred by great aims, they have,
sooner or later, found a man in whom such
aims were fitly concentrated, and who be
came their great instrument, prompter,

A CROP OF REVENGES.
from tht A'. 1'. THhvm.
Journals over the water marvel that Ameri
cans have shown so much feeling on the Ala
bama uiaims; but, lor our part, we are sur
prised at their wonder. Sir Charles Dilke
represented our causo correctly when be told
bis countrymen that the Amerioans were con.
scions that they could afford to wait. If
Britons are puzzled to know whether there is
more of sentiment than of calculation in this
policy of patience, we cannot help them.
Great Britain may continue to plant griev
ances, or may allow troubles to spring up by
neglect it is for us only to wait and see them
grow. Observe the way in which Nova
Hootia clamors against Confederation; think
of the New Zealanders; consider the Colum
bians; look at the fighting Winnipegs; behold
thei'enians! iiiacli of those may be a por
tion of that goneral crop of revenges which is
naturally springing up to remind our British
brethren that once upon a time a Rebel
hacked at the tree of liberty, and an English
man sharpened his ox for bim. Our griev
ances, be they sentimental oi otherwise, have
struck root uutsido of our own boundaries,
and timo is likely to bring us a crop of re
venges. Though we have not sown we shall
reap, and England will have to thank her own
folly for our harvest.
.Lord Clarendon may have convinced Eosr
lishineu that he has gloriously exculpated his

their prelude of precipitate recognition are
still an unshaken ease; and beyond thorn are

holds that their settlement would relieve the
Irish question of soma doubt. But might .
not their non-sottiement make dubious more
questions than the Irish one? The Eoho asks
whether, in the event of a revolution in
Franoe, the English Government would be as
hasty to recognize French Republicans as it
was to recognize American slaveholders.
Even if the French rebels were formi
dable enough to put in jeopardy the
French capital, and to bold Lyons, would an
English Cabinet at once declare a state of
belligerency? The world in general can give
but one answer to this question, and it is the
answer of the Echo. Lord Clarendon, who so
lately went to Paris to tender the good offices
of Lngland to keep t ranee in order in the
event of the Emperor s death, would not be,
of course, as willing to aid French Liberals as
he was to help American slave-owners. Now,
suppose the united btates were called upon
to reoognize a number of Canadian rebels
who bad set up a government within a hun
dred miles of Ottawa ? According to Lord
Clarendon's imaginable French policy, we
should be obliged to ignore them; but if we
respected bis American precedent, we should
be bound to recognize them at sight. In
deed, we should nave to give notloe of our
intention to declare their belligerency without
waiting for a Queen's proclamation, or paying
respect to an ingusn Minister, or considering
anything but the matter of bare fact exagge
rated by nara seu-interest.
Questions like the one suggested might
happen to crop out in a phenomenal state of
politics. Mr. Cobden thought that if a war
should happen between Great Britain and
Brazil, for instance, the great British skipper
end shipper would suffer in proportion to the
Alabama damages. Her adversity might
prove to be commensurate with her prosperity.
in a marine sense. It is impossible to reokon
up the future; it would be unwise to idly
count upon the decadence of so energetic and

DOWNFALL OF THE DOMINION.

state in the new Dominion. Our Canadian
