The electoral rote of a State follow Its representation in Congress, and that is apportioned according to pop- mlation. Bt before slavery was abol ished thtte-fiflbs of th slave population was emmted Ma basis of representation ia addition to the "whole number of free pmom."Now of coure,Hthe whole num ber of free people" is by the very terms of the constitution entitled to be estimated in arriving at the congressional and electoral strength of a State. The only possible way hf witch this can be changed is by a constitutional amendment, and until that W submitted his idle to talk about any interference with this matter. But in all this the wish is m(uestion ably father to the thought, and every thing point tb the conclusion that, south of the Potomac at least, the republican campaign ajNiit commendng. It ia said the South n to have a cabU aet portifolio, aad this is heralded abroad as aa omen of peace and good-win. It is ahupry a top to Cerberus a device of the enemy.'"

BatVCATfOM Taf.lt MBOKO. Dr. J. L. M. Curry, of Virginia, ex minister to 6pala, addressed the Ala bama Legislature a few day ago oa the abject of common school education. After arging upon the Legislature the need for an iocrcaaed appropriation to extend aad maintain the common school system in Alabama, he dwelt at some length upon education as the proper solution of the negro problem in the Soath. lletaid: "When yon cross the Mason and Dixon line cosatoff South yoa eater Africa,' for oat of the seven million of negroes in the United State ix and a half million of them Hve to the Southern State. What the whit pro pi of th South have done for the negroes since the war i an im perishable monument to the generous patriotism and noMe daring of the Saxon race, At.the dos of tb war we found a race of ignorant aad inferior people, brought to thai country not by bur own voiiuoa, tut at ur saying, suddenly mad free, citisrnuwd and made voters at three separate and distinct stepa of ad vancement. Torn came the era of re-1 eonettwtttoa, which nrna ap the darkeet chapter in hssxaa history, when a cowardly and persistent effort was made by unprincipled politicians to elevate the negro to the degradation of the white men of the South. Yet, after all that, when thawkto aaDpls threw off the yoke of expression, they came forward boldly and gcnerouslv and admitted the negro to equal political ground. I do not hesi tate to say. soberly aad calmlv, that the aegm problem is tka moat dilEcult, the moat overwhelming problem that Chris tianity and civilisation have ever en countered, fiat when the picture ha beta printed ia the truest aa4 darkest , colors, I am ready to dataonaUatc that hraoraac will not saliava the aituation. Ignorance will only tend to increase and buewtfy ha- dtuVultie that gather aromd th aearo problem in the South, and obstruct th pathway of th future.

VWtWt NATION'S VriTAI fWrtru fr tha CltlMO ) The United Btntes in their relutiim to foreign powers, are a "nution;" in their internal relations, the idea of original and still Misting, though somewhat impaired, Stat sovereignity, the term nation is re pugnant to many mind a representing the success of the principle of centraliza tion and the alworjition in one head of all the powers and dignities of the constitu ent parts. Hut under any condition, whether in relation to foreign or domestic affairs, a Capital ia essential, a head to direct the helm of State in the peaceful or stormy waters of foreign intercourse, and to manage wisely the enormous domestic interests entrusted to its management. And the Capital, thus orginated as a thing of necessity, has splendidly filled its destiny, the pride of American people and the admiration of th foreign world. ' In the earlier day of th republic, the eat of government of the young nation waa, like that of North Carolina, peri patetic, sometimes in one ujace, and, at the nest session of Congress, in another, During the war of the revolution Phila delphia held eiclusively the honors of the Capital; afterwards, and until the adop tion of th constitution, the sessions of Congress were held alternately at New York, Trenton, Princeton and Annapolis After the adoption of the constitution by which the permanency of the government wa assured, there wa natural and gen eral demand that a permanent seat of government should be selected. Not only were legislative hall necessary, but public buildings adapted to the uses of the va rious departments organised fur the transaction of the various branches of the public business to be transacted, Commissioners were therefore appointed to examine and select a suitable site; and after full consideration of the claims and advantages offered by the northern inter est to a point oa the Delaware river near the falls, and which were opposed by Southern member fteennse too far north and at that period too difficult of con venient access, the offer of the cession by Maryland and Virginia of a tract ten miles square on the Potomac river was accepted, it being agreed, byway of com promise,, that th session of Congress should be held in Philadelphia with the year 1800, at which time it was presum d the public building at the new seat of government would be ready for occupa tion. Washington City was founded in 1700 by George Washington, the first I'resi dent of the United States. The plan was furnished by a French engineer, Charles Pierre I'Enfant, in whose favor General Washington was much impressed during the progress of the war. He had, like thousand of other Frenchmen, offered hi services to the cause of American lib erty. He had fought gallantly and had received seven wound; moreover, he wa an educated gentleman, and a skillful en gineer. ' To him was entrusted without qualification or restriction the prepara tion of a plan for the new born city. That plan wa unique, original, and, until it was developed and filledin, was sub jected to much complaint and ridicule. Its street radiating from common cen tree, crossed each other at sharp angles leaving for many years naked unsightly open place. In addition to this, the vast cat upon which the city wa laid out greatly exceeded the enpacitie of a email population to occupy and adorn. And for more than bnlfa century Washington City grew o lowly' that the magnifi cent public building stood alone and far apart, conspicuous in their solitude as the survivor of the splendor of some ruined and forgotten cities of the world. It was perhaps this slow growth and tardy expansion, as compared with the pltenomennlly rapid growth ofcitie in th Mississippi and Ohio valleys that stimulated their ambition to transfer the seat of government to what they claimed wa, or soon would lie, the centre of American population, A generation ago the proposition was not so wild as it would tie now. Getigruplikully, Wash- mgtoncity is on the eastern margin of the continent. When it was founded, the great west was unknown ; the valleys of the Ohio and Mississippi were unoccu pied by the .white men except the few who were contesting inch by inch with the savages for the right of uosaesaion. Even when settlements were made, when the population beenme dense, when the im mense resource oftbetransmontane re gion were developed, the dilficultiea of travel continued to be so great that the journey from Washington City to those point wa long aad arduous. The cry to removcNhe seat of government to the west did in those days fall on many will ing ear. That cry ha long since been silenced. The railroad and the telegraph have equalised conditions. Ttme and distance have been . annihilated, and W.i .iii);tiii t ii ia only m n tl.iya rr nmvfil fmiii ll Slnlrs cl tlx I'a'ln Coi.itt, anil (t I -v bouts In in aU (miiiiIs iiu Lite Atliintic akiw.

THK ITrATIONJ IN MICK. " We have liefore u the bi-monthly circu' ur of Messr. Dan Talmage's Sons, of New York, in which they present a most exhaustive review of the situation in rice. As the crop of the United State i about half-milled and the balance in eight, they revise their previous estimates and claim for such an almost exact degree of accu racy. The out-turn of the respective States is now claimed to be a follow: Georgia 45,000 bbls.; South Carolina 80,000 bbls; North Carolina 18.000 bbls.; Louisiana 326,000 bbls. the total, in comparison with that produced in 18H6 high water mark in the growth of rice in this coon. try shows a total falling away of 25 Iter cent, but an increase over last year, which was a short crop year, of about 12 per cent. Taking into consideration the fact that the opening of the crop was about two months later than usual, the ratio of movement has thus far been at alKiut the same pace as in previous year. The stock ahead in Carolina (which term includes all of the Atlantic coast States), is about 72,000 bbls ; in Louisiana 165,000 bbls. These amounts are in excess of that of last year at equal date: Carolina 22,500 bbls ; Louisiana 65,000 bbls. The increased amount is not thought to be a depressing fact, inas much as all will be required, and at a low estimate, fully 100,000 bag of for eign rice in addition thereto,- if thede mand shall approximate to that of pre vious years. The following exhibit seems to demonstrate that prices have risen and fallen in relative proportions to the amount produced, except in the present year, when they tund about Vic. per pound less than what is termed the normal line: " Pebrttarr Crop Carolina I-oataUna Itubaeq't j'r. lHU.OOO 205,000 6 OV4 1K5.000 240,000 5Vi 5 210,000 200,000 6', 5 165,000 435,000 4V, 4 205,000 410,000 3 3 153,000 205,000 5V4 5 1883 1884 18H5 1HM6 18H7 1888 -130,000 325,000 4 5 As prices are relatively cheaper than In preceeding years and also below cost of importing the foreign sorts, it is urged that the domestic is a purchaser. The well known reputation of this house will scarcely permit a challenge of their ' sta tistics, but of the outcome every mer chant will undoubtedly judge each for himself. Statistics mny be correctly pre sented, but do not necessarily prognosti cate truly as to a given future, for in the words of the old French proverb, "the unexpected always happens," yet w must say in all candor that the premises seem fairly taken and the outlook prom. ising for an enhancement of values in rice en proportion as the crop is consumed It is now authoritatively anuounced that President Cleveland will return to the State of New York to reside, on the expiration of .his term of office,' and will on March 5th, resume the practice of h profession in New York City, having as sociated himself as counsel with the law firm of Bangs, Stetson, Tracy & Mac Yengh.
