It is to be ob served that the Enquirer only claims that "the Democrats are -entitled,. ;by their populafstrength, to nine of the nineteen districts." Its friends are likely to carry out their design, but Nee agree with the Cleveland Leader that the Legislative elections of next autumn will practically remedy the intended mischief, in time for the canvass of 1870. NORTH CAROLINA has ratified the XV th Article, end her action has been duly cer tified by Governor HOLDEN. This is the eleventh state to enroll its decisive support for the new Amendment. Each branch of the Georgia Legislature has voted for ratification, but each has reconsidered its vote,' and the question is retained under consideration. The affair is very embarrassing to the' rebel• D emocracy of that State, whose' dilemma hangs between a reluctance to accept equal suffrage for themselves, and n vin dictive desire to inflict it linen the North. In 'the meantime, telegrams from their Benaton3 at Washington im plore the Legislature to ratify, as the only, way to escape a more distasteful reconstruction. The Arkansas Senate rat► Bes by a large majority. Pourzassle, like the rest of mankind, are divisible into two classes—the good and the bad. Many l of the best and the wisest men in the nation , are pOliticians. GREELEY, SIPSINK; Cnssn, WAD; Fish, BOUTWELL, may be taken as specimens of this class. Not a few poli ticians are among the wo r st .of men. Jonicson may be taken as the most promi nent sample.' . Many business men are. entitled to the highest commendation for wisdom, purity and usefulness. Some of them are so clearly of another description, that they are inmates of penitentiaries. Clergymen, as a i body, have superior training, are models of social and moral pr6priety, and do much good , in the `world. One of them was arrested last week in Missouri for getting his own, daughter with child. Need we say more to show the.folly and injustice of indiscriminate denun ciation? Let each -man stand or fall, justly according to what he is. - OIECO is a decidedly 'Republican State; but a very large majority of its citizens deemed it wise, in October '67, to reject an equal-suffrage amendment to the State Constitution, and_ suffered themselves to elect the "Democratic" Legislatilre which is still in session. The XVth A'iticlehas been sent to this body for its action, and eve regret to announce that the "unterri fled" majority have not the pluck to reject it, although their present majority is due to the local unpopularity of a kin- dred measure. Under the specious pre tense of a desire to submit the question directly to the people, atanotherelection, they seek to escape the odium inevitably to result from a square refusal to ratify the most perely Democratic proposition of the day.. They are valiant - enough, however to propose . a project for- re-dis tricting the State for Congressional pur poses, so as to secure thirteen of the nine teen members, in, the face of a popular Republican _majority of about 18,000. The partizan assurance which this ex hibits may off better understood, when we 'reflect that, under the new ,census, to be taken next year - at the latest, the regular decennial apportionteent follow. It is comfortable to know that next October. will afford the right" kind of popular cont. mentary upon this soft dr "Democracy-1! THE PEEBTDENT and Senate will trans act a very large amount of business this week, in the reformation of the Johnson ized officeholders.

No party can reasona bly expect victories in the future, that steadily neglects its representative men. AND now comes "the war-cloud in Europe" again. It is seen thistime„not half as big as one's band, in a railway quarrel between France and Belgium, but all the sensational journalists insist that every leading political qUestion of the Continent is wrapped up within its tiny folds. We recognize, once more, the same old story of SAPoLsox's ambi tion, of the humiliated and vindictive French pride, of the calm confidence of BISMARCK, the impecuniosity of Austria, the Italian disorders and the Russian plots for territorial aggrandizement. Poe sibly,it is the habit, with some of our co temporaries to keep a variety of leading articles on European politics standing always in type, for reprint each quarter day with the least possible correction. Certainly, we have heard the same story over and over again. It is .pleasant, in the meantime, to know that thlaparticu lar " war•clot}d" will be as harmless as its nine predecessors. THE COUNTY :JUDGESHIPS. Upon the promotion of Mr. HENRY W. WILLIAMS to the bench of the Supreme Court, Ms. Jon 3f. KIESPATRICK was commissioned by the Governor as his successor: in pie District Court. The place will be filled by election next Octo ber. It is understood that the friends of Mr. KIRKPATRICK will endeavor to se cure the Republican nomination for him. We have farther heard it mentioned that the friends of Mr. ',Thaw P. PENNY and Mr. Dem REED will press their claims for the nomination. Mr. MELLON IS approaching the end of his" term as one of the Judges in the Court of Common Pleas, and does 'not wish to be re-elected. As his successor, Messra. Tames EWING, R. BIDDLE RDBETITS, Was. B. NEGLEX and V. H. Cou.rEa, have been named. It may be that the some of the gentle akin mentioned as aspirants, are not so; and that other persons, not included in the above lists, really are. a EDWIN AI.STABiTON. The New York independent states that "Ex-Secretary STawrom is .in very poor health,. with only slight chanceit of .re covery." • ' . • • We were advised, last year, that the physical condition of Mr. STANTON- was such as to fill the hearts of his friends, to whom the facts were known, with the most painful apprehensions. Later, the impression has prevailed that the symp toms of his disorder were yielding to the :kindly influences of relaxation from la bor, of .repose from cares and re sponsibilities Which. would have, been fatal to. • any other man in . the country, but which .he administsr ed : faithfully to the last letter, and still, survived. We still trust that's constitu-' • tion of iron and an indomitable: will may, cinder Providence, still preserve our great War-Secretary, enjoy,' in agrea old. age, the well-earned-gratitude of his coun trymen. Living Or:: dying, the day is sure to come, nor is it far off, - . whin all partizan "asperities and 'eyed rebel-Ani mosities shall fade away, and one.Amer can people, from the the „Lakes to the Gulf,: shall honor the name of this roan.- Loy ali3% can never forget him, and thOsewho once hated the Union will yet acknowl edge ; their . great debt_ to.pne, who contri= beltedsifinttch to save thin. from'-them selves. - • THE TRUE REIREDT. The North Carolina Judge who , makes Public proclamation specifying certain -leaders of the K. K. K., by naine, coin, mending their surrender to the officers of the law, summoning the posse of their county to aid the Sheriff in their 'arrest, and notifying them that resistance will justify their death on the spot, hits the best possible method of quelling.the law less Spirit which, has made large districts of the South uninhabitable by law-abiding men. Let the parish- Judges of Arkansas, Louisiana, Tex- . as and Tennessee follow this example, - and there mould, be little if .any:occasion for callingtheir Service. Those local magistratet who know their duty, and -dare. to do-it, are always the, beatpossible ,Iconservators.'of the public , peace.

St. Paul, at the head of river naviga tion on the upper Mississippi, Is thecen tral point in ithe Northwestern system of railways, several of which are in various stages of progress towards completion. Its connections with the Southeast are al ready perfected. and it extends its Iron arms toward; the North, and Weetward to ward the Pacific- Coast. The Northern Pacific Railway starts from St. Paul as its initial point, and, before. many years . have gone by, will penetrate an --exceed ingly favorable region,and reach the shore of great Western Ocean shove the mouth of: the Columbia. o,f - this route it is claimed,•and we have reason to 'think with justice, that it presente a better alignment, easier grades, climatic condi tions morel. favorable, and ' traverses, through nearly its entire , extent, a region of larger agricultural capacity, and in every particulac more. corigenial . to the habits and Physical temperament of our ruling race,t than either of its 'southerly rivals for the trans-continental traffic of lx,th the Western and the Eastern world. The construction of this great road awaits the public decision, and it is already ap parent that the •temper of the public 'sen timent is rapidly taking a shape which ren ders its early completion inevitable. The State of Minnesota lies in the very heart of a region which constitutes to-day the.largest and most productive wheat garden of these States. The locality of the leading production of this cereal, 'which Is first and most essential of all the grains for the food of man, has been moving steadily, for two generations, to wards the West and North. The Eastern wing still rests upon Michigan and Illi nois, bat Wisconsin, and still more Min nesota, are, now the centre of a region which yields the largest and surest sup plies of this' staple, and of the most desir able quality. And still „ the wheat-belt slopes irestWardly. Within the lives of our young men, the rich plains of Deco tah, of BaSkatchewan and of the Red River of 1 the North will , control the wheat markets of this con , tinent. This remarkable movement of the wheat-growing belt is due in part to the impoierishing methods of American agriculture; which rapidly exhaust rich soils of the' elements needful for the best growth of the wheat plant, and in part to the opening up of new territories which develop the especial adaptation of their virgin soils, and the congeniality of their climate forjthe successful cultivation of this grain.f In the regions which we have specified, there extends an area broad enough for an empire, of the best wheat land on the face of the globe, and scarcely the scratch of a plow has yet been given to it by the shiftless pioneer. This region extends In the rear 'of nesota to the North and West. Its bug- , ness, intravel and the traffic in its sur- plus productions, must necessarily come by the •shertestroute 'Eastward, touching the valley of the:Missisaippi at Bt. Paul,. and thence toward the sea -board markets, by. the best route considering time and expense of carriage. This transportation must be by rail throughout the reglow of which we speak, for nature.there presents no facilities whatever fora Wat.er-carriage. But wherever this water-carriage can be made available, in bearing the bulky pro ducts of agriculture, hundreds and thou sands of miles onward to the markets ' of consamptien, the inflexible laws of trade will give to such carriage the preference over railway transportation. It is not surpkising, therefore, -that the situation already engages the attention of ` sagacious capitalists, who recognize the need for an' early and ample preparation to meet the approaching demands of a vast traiilci between the Btatei of the East, which have, ypra since, ceased to grow their own bread, and this broad granary of the Northwist, ivhich is witidneo few years to swarm with, the industry and prosperity of ' Obviously, •the eye of science and enterprise ttirnsto the mdiest and cheaPest method of On necting the preductlim •of these fertile plains *ith the consumption of the Eastern fnillions. 'Water •cairiage, by the 'great Northern Lakes4offers its ready and ample channel for • eleven hundred= miles, and so nearly in the general direction Which the traffic w ill .take, that the mileage by , water, from the, western. ,'extremity; of Lake Superior te Buffalo' very, little if any exceeds that of the shortedt railway line yet constructed' between, the' two' points Our Lakes are ali t connected by rivers - or navigable ear Mia, and would; bear the fleets of they/OM without In- , _convenience. . The grairi-laden barque which' sails from Du Luth, the western Moat port of Superior, need not,break bulk until she reaches • Ogdensburgh, within twelve hours of the eei•coast. It is ap parent, therefere: that this must be the principal Channel of the immense traffic ,which is to grow out of the present rapid develOpment of the Northwestern States, and of the States yet to be shaped out of tire turbeunded empire beyond them. It - needs only to connect the railway system •of that, region' with , the Lake Supeklor coast, to give an impetus almest without limitio the Westward riio g ieis of popu7 lation and agricultural production, and to =I secure a splendid reward for capital and enterprise. The distance from St. Paul, the centre of that raipay-system, to Du Luth, the port on Lake Superior, is but 150 miles. The "Lake Superior and Mississippi River Railroad Company" are now construct ing the entire line, of which thirty miles are finished and in use,l while the residue of the work is much inlvanced and will be completed by the Ist orJanuary next, through to the Lake. Its management is in the. most competent hands; this is evi dent enough when wt.,l.now . that J. ED GAR Tnosisotf, S. M. PELION and Iseec Hincxutv are the Eat eutive Committee of the Company: Them- gentlemen, who are recognized as of leading Influence in the railway world, see that they have a good thing, and have taken hold of it to put it through, The Company., is believed to possess the most valuable land-endowment ofany railway In , the Union. Congress has given- fitt thent 1,632,000 acres oflandi really as valuable for its tindier and. for agricultural. use_ as any in - the Union. This is alarger doinain than the State of Delaware, and, naturally, isworth a half dozen Deltiwares. Intending to build a first-class road, expressly with a view to the requirements for a business which nothing but their capacity can limit, the Company Spares no expense. Its Execu tive Committee know how to spend the money so that it will tell. They offer now a seven per cent. gold-loan of $4,500,000, secured by a first mortgage upon the fran chise and all the property of the Compa ny, including therein its valuable land grant, which would' be less 'than $3.00 per acre on the land, with one hundred and fifty miles of firet-class railway, con strueted and in operation, with all its equipinents thrown in. The bonds, prin cipal and seven -per cent. interest paya ble in gold; are offered at ninetrfivs cents in currency, by the agents, Jai Coore dt Co,, who say bier never- yet sold a bond which did not turn out a cafe, Stat eless investment. The offer certainly merits the favor of 'Opitalists, and hives fora. - This project.has our hearty good-will, since its succeed will supply the needful link to perfect the., continuously' connect ing • clugnir betamen the non‘producing States Of theEnit" and those distant but fertiletegioris from which a half of the Re public must draw its food-supply before ruaother generation passes away. The construction of this short railway link has a pOwetful bearing on one of the most vital questions in our social economy —the bread-question, to which so many others are subordinate. It is in this view that we welcome the sure success of the project, and congratulate the promo ters upon a precast as prompt as It is sagacious. Washington Items. The President had filled up to.day the nomination of Mr. Motley to be Minister to England, vice Johnson, to be removed. It will be sent in with others on Monday next. Hon.

Every train brings new additions, and if the = ratio of increase - continues the city will not hold its visitors by the- end of the month. Such crowds of office-seekers were never known here before. Ilia not likely, however, that the hordes will re main for any great length of time, forthe appointments will be disposed of during the coming week with astonishing rapid ity, and every office filled will take on an. average two dozen people from the city. The pressure for office is 'beyond con ception. It is far beyond tnat of 1865, and fully equal to the . ' pressure of 1881, when there was a radical change in the Administration from Democratic to Re publican. Members of Congress are be seiged in the most unmerciful , manner. They bar their doors against the army of comers; they approach their lodgings I through alley-ways and .by back -stair cases, to avoid the applicants. They seek refuge in out-of-the-way places, and pass sleepless nights because of the anx ious throng who beseige them at all hours and upon all occasions. What is worse! 'about itis that in the chtiotic aphdayal of things political here, it is impossible, even for members of Congress to tell, witty anything like certainty. what they may expect. Never was there a worse time for calculations for patronage based sole ly on political service.

Very little progress can be made on any subject•until this office pressure abates; it occupies three-fourths of the President's time and the time of his Secretary.
