T World is of opinion that “the \ West ought to be in good position. It ‘ has received high prices for nearly all its lepding staples, and has purchased’ sparingly. The inference is natural that some progress has' been made in gettingout of debt. If so, it has‘enjoyed a substantial prosperity. lln the trans-Mississippi States the farmers have beert getting nearly three times as much for their corn, twice as much for their oats as in 1873, and for their wheat and swine a liberal advance on the prices ruling with them during the winter and spring that year; and such as have come to the conﬁlusimi that inte]ligonlt- direction, faitliful lahor, and a just/ economy are. the only sources of wealth, have apparently a prosperous career opened to them.” (loryeet, - : s

[+ Parson Brownlow continues’ his, gallant fight against the insolent darkeys and theiw less respectable Caucasian coadjpitors, we may yet feel impelled to forgive and forget some of his queer doings and utterances in the past.

i oty @ e 2 THE FA nl of the Arkansas usurper, would-be-Governor Brooks, will be followed by the overthrow of U, S. Sena- " tor Clayton and his gang of conspira- - tors who have been at the bottom of the late Alabama trouble. From the howls which they -have raised in ‘Washington and the threats of resist ance which they make, may be estimated the heaviness of the blow which President Grant - has reluctantly dealt them.. They will sink into obscurity and contempt with'even more rapidity than they have risen amidst the disorders and anarchy of the State whose government they have seized. Loathed and detested by the people whom they have oppressed and plundered, their power is at an end when the sustaining hand of federal power is withdrawn. The time for Clayton has come, sinee he can no longer enlist the administration in behalf of his intrigues against the mgﬂe of Arkansas. For Moses in South Carolina, Kellogg in Louisiana, and Ames in Missisgippi, nd their followers, the day of sure 3etribntiqn is fast hastening on.

THE LATEST INIQUITY. It requires a first-class hypocrite to'| assert that he believes in placing him- | self upon terms of perfect equality with an inferior race. It is contemptible hypocrisy for a respectable white ‘ man to declare himself ready to become an associate of negroes, Wesay this fearlessly and boldly—not because we hate or despise a negro, but because it is an undeniable and inconk: trovertible truth. _ v

While we believe fully in meting out justiqe to all men, and sincerely desire the elevation of all human beings, we deprecate all ¢fforts on part of =leg-i islative bodies to force the idea of equality upon the masses of the peo-| ple. We deem all efforts in this direction mischievous in the extreme, ‘;md% as caleulated to produce instead of allaying feelings of zmimosi‘ty between the two races. v ; It is of little moment to us what impracticable theorists may say upon the question of soeial equality. Men of candor, of ripe judgment, men who understand human nature, agree that no decent white man can or will act knowledgd the negro a fit associate in private life. Hence, all efforts in the direction of . establishing the equality of races are in direct violation of the laws of nature, a stab at our social institutidnﬁ, and an inexcusable, despotic attempt to foree an obnoxious, mischievous and revolting theory upon an unwilling people. = v It would seem that having devoted i‘yeurs of }egisla’cio‘n_ @n the ele\';ltionqof ‘the negro, even -a radical Congress could tvell afford to allow this ebonycolored individual "to rest upon his unearned laurels—permit him to demonstrate that le can appreciate tl many favors already bestowed upgg

him by the nation. Instead of dding still more for the darkey, would At not be more appropriate for himAo give some evidences of his fitnegg to exercise the functions of citizghship? As yet, Sambo hag done sothing of the kind. Ile has conferred:no benefits upon the country which so generously made him a freeman, a voter and a legislator. He“has done nothing to develope tlie resources of the country; nothing to build up the -States in \vhich‘he_l'(*sides§a,nd some of which have been placed under his control.— On the contral‘y,,dfirectin gour remarks to the negro of the South, he has passed his time in idleness, has disgraeedfthe title of citizen, prostituted the elective franchise, bankrupted counties and commoniwealths; and given many evidenees of his absolute unfitness to make a proper and honest use of the authority ‘with which he has become invested. ' ,

What is there, then, to justify the passage of the so-called civil rights| bill, the full text of which we publish in another eolumn? ~We wish some honest, candid advocate of 01 apologist for thig® scandalous measure would furnish an answer. The arguments in its favor by the republican Senators who voted for its passage are uttetly destitute of anything that would even approach a decent apology. Indeed, there is not one among the number who advanced an idea that can not be exploded in five minutes. It is more than questionable if a half dozen of them really desired the passage of 'this moustrous bill. Political necessity: governed théir action:. The 800,000 negro votes that are used as a commrodity in the. h;:mds of the vilest political raseals 'in the country prompted these 29 Senators te. cast their votes for the degradation of white men, women and children. * The consideration for this disgraceful jobi is simply this: In order to retain the negro vote, the republican party enacts a law by which whites are obliged under penalty to comingle with negroes in hotels, public conveyances on land and water, theatres and other places of amusement, common schools and public institutions of learning and benevolence. The abselute equality of races is thus” sought to be forced upon the people that 'a;n unserupulous, reckless, and in(i(m}pa.h'ably corrupt party may be kept in power. The infamy is too greit to admit of calm discussion. ; < W— i

A COMMENDABLE PROGRAMME, | The newly elected United States Senator from Connecticut, Hon. William W. Eaton, is.credited with being a Democrat of the olden school. From all we can hear of the gentleman there seems to be no ground for doubting that he is also a very talented and thoroughly honest man. And, if we may judge from the few remarks hemade in response to a serenade aft;e}" his election, he has laid down a I‘#‘o' gramme for the government of his-ac-’ sion in the Senate which will commend itself: to the favorable opinion of all friends of good government,— Said he: “I am a hard-money man, I believe in one currency for the people and the same for the Government. I do not believe in allowing any man to stick his arms into thé people’s money up to his shoulder-blades. Ido not believe in corrupt things. I go ito Washington to stand by fair a(lminﬁstration, and Yo protect what belongs to the people of this country; to protect for the laborer whatittle land the railroad rings have not already stolen. That, in fact, is my mission. I will defend the honor of my State as I would defend the honor of my wife.—

For you I will do my whole duty. My heart will not fail, althougl my head may.” If Mr. Eaton follows this programme closely upon his entrance offjthe Senate, the people of Connecticut will have every reason to rejeice that their Legislature has exchanged Buckingham for Eaton. ]

. PENDLETON, Thurman and Hendricks are spoken of as the probable i democratic candidates—Tor the Presidency in 1876. It is rather early for the discussion of thal interesting topic, but early or late the West will furnish the candidate, and, as we vérily believe, the President.—PittsburgPost. And when nominations are once in order, we beg permission to add a name to the above list—that of a fearless, honest and patriotic statesman.

- IN THE NORTH-WEST. ; Sketches of Travel, by “Stunner.”} [NUMBER TWO.] | Minneapolis, the Chicago of the Fu- . ture. -I arrived in this city, one week ago, big with anticipations. The beauties of the city, her unparalleled growth, her wonderful commercial intesests, her unbounded manufacturing facilities, her mighty, colossal water-power, her beautiful climate, the grdndeur and picturesqueness of her surroundings, had all passed in panoramic view before the vision of my imagination. o |

My ideal of Minneapolis was immense. - Fancy had woven for me a picture of elegant 'cle:§igll, and a brightness of finish almost beyond the possibility of realization. Would the real surpass, or fall below, the ideal? I have not been disappointed, and in case the reader should be, he must aftribu_te the fact rather to my lack of descriptive powets than to the realities which I shall, humbly, attempt to present. i :

© HER WONDERFUL GROWTII. This city is situated on both sides of the Misgissippi River, at the Falls of St. Anthony (overlooking both), and in June, 1850, had 4 population of 700 inhabitants. In 1860 the United Statles census -showed a population of 5,809 ; in 1870, a population of 18,079; and in October, 1873, by actual count, the nuinber of her citizens had reached the figures, 27,284—an increase in three years of 9,205. The present population is estimated at from thirty to thirty-five thousand. - *ln all paxts of the city dwellings : business houseSwes ‘inging up like magic. Since the op¥ning of spring fully five hundred “d\yellinghouses have been erected, and df this number scores are elegant resideyices costing in the aggregate from $2,000 to $20,000 each, built of wood, Dbiick, anild stone., Many brick and sfone business-houses are also in procegs of erection. In every direction, on efyery street, in all parts of the city,\the work goes rapidly on.. The impySyements are not confined, howevgr, residences :mld business-houses uloné, for the erectiion of manufactufies of all classes keep step to the({ rapid growth and inereasing dei’e]ol €1 of the city. :

During 1873 fifteen hundred buildings of all kinds were erected, the sum total of their cost reaching the stupendous sum of $1,687,836. The estimated cost of improvements for 1874 will not fall short of that of 1873. Unquestionably this eity is one of the finest in the West. Iler wide streets and sweeping avenues, level as a floor, crossing each other at right angles, with double rows of promising shade trees of every conceivable variety lining wide sidewalks; her forty elegztxljt churches, with stately spires pointing = heavenward; her twelve large, stone and brick school-houses, scattered at regular intervals all over the city; herelegant residences, which, with their beautiful lawns, line every street and avenue, present a picture of surpassing ]oj'elilless,

SAINT ANTHONY'S FALLS —MANUFACJLURING. It is universally conceded that the Falls’ of St. Anthony 'furnish the grandest water-power in the world. Their immenseness must be scen to be fully appreciated. : - Were I possessed of the descriptive powers of a Richardson or a Bayard Taylor, it \\'duld be impossible for me to convey to your minds an adequate conception of the vastness of the mighty Father of Waters as it sweeps with the veloicty of a tornado over the rocks of St Anthony. Imagine, if you can, the grandeur and sublimity of a scene such as is here presented; the Mississippi’s broad currents rush--ing, pe]l-mell,’ov’er rocks, seething, boiling, down a deeclivity of sixty feet - within a distance of two thousand, and then inagine, or calculate if you can, the value or immensity of the power thus furnished for manufacturing purposes. The eastern and western banks of the river are lined with saw-mills, flouring-mills, and all manner of manufactories. Among them may be named the following: Sixteen immense flouring-mills, thirteen of which in 1873 manufactured 525,900 barrels of flour, in the manufacture of which 2,585,950 bushels of wheat were consumed. Three of the largest mills have been completed since Jan. Ist, 1874, the largest of which was built by Hon. C. C. Washburn, of Wisconsin, and has forty run of stone—the largest in the United States. Three mills are built of stone taken out of ‘the Mississippi river at this point.— Three large iron works, Plow Works and Harvester Works, besides many other works in this line, which manu‘facture engines, boilers, water-wheels, and mill furnishing materials; railroad machine-shops, ete,, ete; fourteen furniture and desk factories, seven barrel factories, fifteen planing-mills, several shingle-mills, two paper-mills, one cotton-mill, several woolen-mills, 11i1xé_cal'1’iage and wagon factories, one linseed oil factory, seven wholesale boot and shoe factories, five harness ‘and saddle factories (wholesale), one pork packing establishment, two extensive soap fafctories, sash, door and blind factories, machine sl;ops, foundries, etc., ete., employing 'millions, of capital and thousands of laborers. ' Minneapolis is’ tlre great ®lumber mart of the North-West, the outlet for the vast timber fields of the Superior Lake region, and demands specizyl notice. There are dozens of immense lumber factories and saw-mills here, which last year manufactured into lumber 161,880,670 feet of scaled logs. Seme of these mills | turn out daily from 80,000 to 125,000 feet of lumber: Six railroads centre here, but they furnish inadequate transportation for the manufactured products of the city. The total value of the manufactures, | industries a_n':i trades in the city. for 1873 was $13,859,689. The city econtains ten Banks (five national and five private and savings) whicli have a total capital of $925,000. The wholesale

trade of the city is very large in all branches and rapidly increasing, four large grocery houses alone doing an annual business of between three and four millions of dollars. ‘

- THE CITIZENS OF MINNEAPOLIS are made up of representatives from all parts of the United 'States, and are a live, thrifty, industrious, energetic class of people. | A large percentage are from Indiana, and, without an exception, those with whom I have conversed speak of their native State ‘with pride and emotion as a delightful State—to emigrate from! Privately, I think they are a little severe, but in the main correct.

Among others of my old friends, I have met here Mr. Wm. S. Best and lady, formerly of Ligonier, Amos Stultz and lady,-of Huntington, S. A. Harris (and his mother), Charley Harris and lady and S. E. Davis, formerly of Goshen, to all of whom I am under obligations for special favors.

i .MINNEHAHA FALLS ‘ are located four. miles south-east of Minneapolis and are all that heart could wisliin the way of the sublimély picturesque. Longfellow did a big thing for Minneapolis and posterity when he embalmed in immoi'ta]_,verse_ this charming little cataract. On Sabbath afternoon Mr. Wm, S. Best and family Kindly furnished'me conveyance to the “Land of the Dakotahs,” where the: pleasure wadafforded of a first view of the Falls of Minnehaha as they . *Flash and gleam among the oak trees,

Laugh and leap into the yalley” . sixty feet below; a very pretty sight indeed. Mr. Best, Mr. Stultz and “Stunner” further immortalized the Falls—and incidentally ‘themselves—by passing around behind the Falls, Betweop the ‘:l.zwg-hing'. leaping water” and the preeipice—a difficult, and somewhat dangerous feat, thdug‘li valiantly and brilliantly accomplished. The region all round ahout this city is dotted with beautiful likes of clear, erystal {\':lt(‘l.'—#-('l'é?'_ljll‘h(:)‘(f scenes of interest meet the eye; ‘the grand, the beautiful, and the picturesque are on all sides blended and combined to make this indeed a fit and pleasant ’mhit:\ti(m for man. '

g ST, PATL, On Monday ‘last, accompanied by my old school-mate, I' visited the abave-named city, nine miles distant, and found it a city of no mean order or insignificant appearance. It is not a beautiful city by any means, but one of large commercial importance. Being the capital of a large and rapidly growing State, and the head of navigation on the Mississippi, gives it great prestige and many commercial advantages not possessed by Minneapolis. Its location is not, however, a nice one, being situated on the bluffs ‘wliich at this point line the river. We visited the Custom ITouse, an elegant stoue building of huge proportions, the State Ilouse (where we saw Gov. Davisg a young man of thirty or thirty-five years,) the State Supreme Court (which was then in session) and many other places of interest. X few hours of St. Paul sufticed, and 'we returned to Minneapolis, fully conyiited that an unappreciating soul need only compare the two cities to be impressed beyond cavil, or the possibility of a doubt, as to the great superiority and beauty of this place over St. Paul. Minneapolis, Minn., May 21, 1874. -

Tie Dunkards. : GIRARD, ILLs., May 24 —_The National Conference of Dunkards met here to-day, and is the largest gathering that ever occurred in the countyy. It is estimated that 10,000 people were present. An enormous tent was erected for their accommodation capable of holding, 5,000 people, but was found too small, and various religious services were held in the shade of trees, in a large barn and in a church adjacent The meeting to-day was preliminary to their conference to-morrow.— About two [thousand delegates are expected to be in attendance to-morrow, of whom the majority are here now. A large dining hall has been erected capable of seating 900 persons at one time, with a kitchien for cooking attached. The brethren invite all to partake with great cordialily.

THE NEW CIVIL RIGHTS BILL. 1 The Senate’s Devise for Making the Negro Equal to the White Man. Sambo Empowered to Force Himself Into the Presence of White Men in ; Hotels, Theateirs, Schools, &. After a protracted contest, the civil rights bill was last Saturday passed by the following vote: .

Morton, Cameron, Hitchcock, Chandler, Ferry (Mich.), Sherman and Logan, who would have voted for the bill, were paired with Stevenson, Thurman, Tipton, Bayard, A Dennis, Goldthwaite and Gordon, who would | have voted against it. .

The text of the bill reads as follows: | SectloN 1. That all citizens and other persons within the jurisdiction of the United States shall be entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facili--ties, and privileges of inns, public conveyances on land, water, theaters and other places of public amusement, and also’of the common schools and public institutions of learning or benevolence supported in whole or in part by general taxation, and of cemeteries so -supported, also the institutions known as agricultural colleges, endowed by the United States, subject only to the conditions ‘and limitations established by law, and applicable alike to citizens of every race and color, regardless of any previous condition of servitude. ° SEC. 2.

e — WASHINGTON. THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK. The leading Republican managers in Congress have come to the conclusion that it will be very bad policy to go before the country in the fall elections without having passed some kind of a financial measure, and there s a disposition, therefore, shown by conversation of inflation Senators to accept the modification of the Senate substitute for the House bill, as proposed by tlie House Banking Committee. The President, it is well undezstood, looks ‘with favor upon the bifl as reported ta the House on Tuesday, though it is not claimed that he has promised to sign it, Ifthe bill should pass the House, where the doubt about it is the greatest, there is great confidence felt that it willi pass the Senate. The bill, it will be remembered, as now modified provides for free banking, with 40 per cent. of legal-tender redemption instead of 25; and coin bond resumption three years from date. Leading expansionists in the Senate declare their willingness to vote for the measure in that shape. It is of course not what they want, but it is the best they can get. : ‘

SECRETARY RICHARDSON. The House of Representitivesevidently wishes to give Sscretary Richardson angther chance to leave the Treasury before proceeding with the consideration 'of the resolution from the: Ways and Means Committee, which if passed would virtually drive him from the Treasury. For if the ‘House desired to take the decisive action in the matter whiech it clearly ought to take, such action would have been taken several days ago. The evidence of incompetence and mismanagement, if not of worse things than these, o6n the part of Richardson, and his subordinates has been in the possession of the House for weeks, and it is evidence about the truth and the ruinomﬂy damaging character of which

there can be no question. The other day the friends of Richardson, presumably speaking for the Administration, went upon the floor of the House, and with many promises for the speedy retirement of Richardson, urged upon members to omit the proposed vote of censure. This pressing and these promises are apparently just what the Hpuse desires to receive.-— But the vote of censure having been shown to be richly deserved, the House will have no excuse for omitting to pass it. ’ i

i GOOD AT MEASURING. Mr. Blickensderfer, an engineer of great experience and skill, is going through. the' measurements of the Washingtonring. He has already discovered false and fraudulent measurements on which the government was robbed of large sums, fully confirming the accusations made against the infamous gang of public plunderers.— For the work of grading Maryland avenue, as one instance of the way in which these frauds were committed, the contractors were paid $914165.— The government was charged $92.900. The correct charge according to true measurement should hayve been $62.909. The system:of fraudulent charges runs through the whole work.

: FOREIGN CRIMINALS. . The Secretary of State recently sent to the House a communication in relation to the landing of convicts and. paupers upon our shores from foreign countries. The Secretary suggests the passage of alaw empowering the President toreturn tothe countries whence they come all paupers, vagabonds and convicts who may be landed on the shores of the United States. A THUNDERCLAPP FOR CLAPP. Messrs. Rivers and Bailey have addressed a letter to Senator Howe, charging Congressional Printer Clapp with. being a defaulter to the Government to the extent of $49,000, exclusive of large overcharges for paper consumed. MR. RICHARDSON’S CASE. Secretary Richardson’s friends say that he will stick. They assert that the resolution of censure will probably be suppressed, but that if it should be introduced and passed the Secretary would not be under any obligations to resign. They say that if the IHouse wants to get the Seeretary out, the only course is impeachment, but as he has violated no law,(?) that process is unavailable. Altogether the matter 1S mieh mixedy e

“MORE MISCHIEF PROPOSED. Senator Stewart has introduced a joint resolution for an amendment to the Constitution of the United States providing for the establishment of common schools by the General Government when States Shall fail to maintain them. llis design evidently is to | prevent the failure in practical operation of the Civil Rights bill; and he has not taken account of the fact that it is an anomalous preceeding to prop up a piece of Congressional legislation by an amendment to the Constitution.

i THE CENTENNTAL., The Senate has passed the Centennial bill, with a proviso that the United States shall not be liable for any expe:lq%‘ses attending the Exposition.— Mr. Edmunds said the bill was equivalent to an invitation to dinner, with the reservation that each person should pay his own footing. So it is, and foreign nations will doubtless avail themselves of the privilege which all men énjoy of rejecting disagreeable invitations.

In the Presbyterian General Assembly, in session at St. Louis, the report of the committee appointed to draw up a basis of union with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church was read Saturday. It suggests that both confessions of faith remain as they are, and be regarded of equal authority, as the standard evan%elical of authority, and that candidates for ordination be allowed to choose between them.— Another committee was appointed to continue the consideration of the subject till next year, New developments make the Mill River disaster worse than at first supposed. One hundred and forty-seven dead bodies have been recovered, and it is quite possible there are still others buried in the ruins. It has been shown by calculation that the flood when it started from the hills consisted of a wall of water thirty-five feet high and one hundred and sventy-five feet wide. With this immense tidal wave sweeping down through a fertile and thickly populated valley, it is no wonder that the destruction was so great. Seven hundred people are now left homeless and destitue. Sixty-five thousand dollars have been contributed to relieve these people, of which about $lB,OOO has been received by the relieficommittee. e
