Northern journals have been prating considerably of late of the insignificant showing which they suppose the South will make amoriff the ' sisterhood of States after the next census. In fact, the Northern people have so universal ly made up their minds that the South is to be after the next re-apportionment of representation in Congress a small section comparatively that they will be wOf ully disappointed when they see the actual returns, although these may be cooked" by incompetent officials. Even a journal of the liberality and intelli gence of the New York Herald falls in with the unthinking stalwarts and sets forth that the South will make but a poor show after 1880 in the matter of population and consequent representa tion in Congress. It is alleged that the North has increased much more rapidly in population since the war than the South. This will bear investigation. It is much to be doubted. The Richmond Dispatch does not believe a word of it, and speaking of the matter, a few days ago, expressed the opinion that the facts would be found just the other way if the other States east of the Alleghany mountains only be counted. It says that the proportionate increase in Vir ginia is at least double what it has been in Massachusetts in the last ten years. The increase in the Southern States east of the Mississippi, it says, will off sett the increase in all the Northern States east of the Alleghanies. Then Texas alone will offset a half dozen small States, say Oregon, Nebraska, Ne vada, and Colorado. Pit Arkansas and Louisiana against Kansas, and Missou ri against all the Northwest west of the Mississippi. All the increase that the North will have over that in the South may thus be safely calculated not to exceed what the increase has been in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. Now, these five States con stitute, it is true, more than one-fifth of the whole Union at present. They have sixty-nine members of the National House of Representatives. If they have increased 25 per cent, they will (on the same basis) be entitled to, say, eigh teen additional Representatives. These are all that the Northern States will gain under any fair census; and yet the Herald makes these assertions: At present it requires only forty seven electoral votes in addition to those of the united South to elect a president, but after the next apportion ment it will require at least a hundred. If the presidential election of 1880 were to be on the basis of the census of 1880 the Republicans would be able to carry it without the State of New York. But the South claims Delaware, Ma ryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Flor ida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas, Louisiona, Missouri, and Arkansas. These constitute about three-eighths of the Union at present. Therefore a gain of 18 in the North would be offset relatively by a gain of 11 in the South. In commenting upon its well-digested . theories on the subject, the Dispatch Bays, by way of conclusion : If the Northern mind be not divested of this hastily formed opinion that the South is to be shorn of its relative strength after 1880 it will be next to impossible for our section to secure its rights when the next re-apportionment is to be made. The South, it must be recollected, may lose absolutely with out losing relatively. She will still constitute three-eighths of the Union after the next re-apportionment if she is not cheated out of her due proportion of representatives. Our Virginia cotemporary is quite right about all that it says on the sub ject, and it may be said further that if the South, tegardless of what it has at stake, concedes all that the North al leges, the facts will be as the other sec tion alleges, and notfas they would be if perfect squareness is to prevail all 'round. SEl'.TiOUH AND HENDRICKS. It has been alleged that lion. Horatio Seymour would consent to run for the Presidency on the Democratic ticket next year, with the understanding that, if elected, he could resign immediately ; and it is further alleged that Hon. Thos. A. Hendricks, while still declining the second place to Mr. Tilden's first, would not be wholly averse to standing for Vice-President on a ticket with Mr. Seymour. It is probable that when Mr. Hendricks made up"his mind to this, he had just heard of Mr. Seymour's ex pression of a determination to resign if he should run and be elected, and those who accept this theory will see at a glance how timely is the following ad vice of the Augusta Chronicle.- If Mr. Hendricks contemplates tak ing the second place on the ticket with Horatio Seymour UDder the belief that the latter will resign soon after his in auguration, he will do well to put the contract in writing and have the forfeit money put up. Three Presidents Tay lur S3011 and Lincoln came out of the White House feet foremost, but no President ever left those snug quarters voluntarily. , Lies, LiBSTelegTahis sent through the' Associated Press last Thursday night, announcing horrible barbarities committed by Louisiana Democrats upon innocent Republicans, are now pronounced to be lies out of the whole cloth. An Associated. Purees rfyoxt from Vicksburg, says ; " - R. II. Brown, the man reported hang ed, was at home at Tallalulah, La., this evening well and heartv. Th cases reported are on a par with thatrof .Drown, xne election passed on more quietly than has been known for years. Itis from 'Republican quarters that the attempt to , cripple or destroy the army now comes.' Senator Plumb, of Kansas, proposes to abolish draw poker in the. army, and, expects it to be done by act of Congress. The magnitude' '6t the consequences considered, the with holding of appropriations is not to be compared with this blow at the perpe tuity pf, ;ihe military arm of the gov- ment. A RECENT U.IILBOAD PURCHASE. The statement made by the Associa ted Press a few days ago that the Lou iaville and Nashvill and Qreat South em Railroad "Companyfrom Louisville to Montgomery, have purchased. coti troling interest in the Montgomery and Mobile Railroad has been confirmed By this arrangement a direct line is se cured to Mobile, and also to Pensacola This-line has not been idle while the others have been at work, and it is the first of all the rival trunk lines south ward from Ohio to reach the seacoast by a direct line of its own. gTh'e state ment is that ninety-six was paid for the stock of the American bondholders', which amounts to about $1,530,000, and the representatives of the English bondholders with some $1,450,000, have consented. The entire route from Lou isville to the Gulf is now under one management. This will render it nec essary for the Cincinnati Southern to seek a new avenue to the coast, and it may be that this road will look anew to the railroads building across the moun tains of North Carolina fora connec tion which will lead it to tide-water. It could And this in the Western North Carolina Railroad when it is completed to Paint Rock, and be thus put in easy communication with Wilmington, Nor folk and Richmond, or the Spartanburg and Asheville which, when finished to Asheville would lead to Charleston, a convenient port. By this change an important influ ence will most probably be wrought upon one of the railroads leading into Charlotte the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line. This road has heretofore con trolled the Montgomery and Mobile, and this was a part of its line from New York to New Orleans. Maj. W. J. Houston, general passenger agent of the Air Line, has confessed te a report er of the Atlanta Constitution, that the effects of the recent purchase may be very visible upon Atlanta and her railroad business, for it may make Montgomery the distributing point for sleepers from New York, and the Louisville and Asheville will enter in to active competition with the Pied mont and Kenesaw routes for the through New York and New Orleans business. Tins Year's Cotton Crop. Wm B. Forwood, president of the cotton ex- change of Liverpool, England, was ln Cincinnati, last week, and being intro duced on 'change, Friday, made a short address in which he said he had made an extensive tour of the Cotton States, and though it Was somewhat a hazardous attempt t estimate on the crop of this country, he was satisfied that the increase this year would.be be tween two and three hundred thousand bales. lie was glad to say it had been produced cheaper than usual, and was grown, gathered, packed and shipped in much better order than ever before. This opinion a3 to the size of next year s crop, and me recent figures of agricultural bureau showing a proba ble falling off this year as compared with last, do not "consist" by a -large majority. -I .' Lawyers do not seem to attach a great deal of importance to the recent decis ion of the Supreme Court of the United States upon the subject of trade marks. One of these writes to the New York Evening Post that nobody should be excited over it. He cites many English cases to show that trade-marks are and always have been property under the common law. CHEAT STORM AT ASPINWAI.L. Villaffetj and Hone Overflowed, and People Reduced to Want. New York. December 8. Further particulars of the great storm and flood at Aspinwall state that about thirty miles of the Panama Railroad had been submerged, and that the freshet was the most destructive that had been known therefor years.
