The Atlanta Constitution says: "The lamented Stephens could not have a Worthier successor than Hon. H. D. McDaniel." Are there no spiritualists in Georgia to interview, Mr. Stephens and ascertain if he is satisfied to "have" Mr. McDaniel? Mullet, the national architect, occupies himself mostly, of late, in the newspapers, ex plaining as a correspondent what he has been doing as an architect, and reviving old dis putes about his way of doing it. Mullet is a mixture ot the architectural and literary drug. Edwin Booth has taken Europe as easily as his little bandy-legged father 6o years ago used to the Drury Lane pit sclireechine in Lear, with his shrill fife-like voice, "Ulow winds, and crack your checks, Hase!

He applied lately for membership of the "Federation of Laborj" but that body declined to admit him, and refused to allow him to speak. The tired pilgrim had better restore himself to Germany. There, is probably neither a rupture nor estrangement between the President and ex Senator Conkling. The longest days of the year are too short and professional duties too engrossing to afford Mr. Conkling, who has gone to work in earnest at law practice, the time to nurse his political relations. These will take care of themselves. It is character istic of Roscoe Conkling the lawyer as it was of Roscoe Conkling the statesman and poli tician to attend to what he has in hand. J. J. Jones, a broker of Boston, met J, Helle, a barker of Boston, in Chicago. The barber jailed the broker for having failed to account for a Mexican Central bond of $1000 he had entrusted to him. The broker alleged that he had made a cessio bunorum in Massa chusetts, his assets consisting of some Con federate and other bonds of equal value, left on his hands. But what we propose to notice is that the extinct Boston broker complains of Boston usuages in the Chicago prison, having suffered wanton ill treatment, licked in a dark cell from Wednesday to Sunday night, without food or water, and then fed with three buns. If this be so Masiachu setts Butler is wanted in Illinois. NKtV UNO LAND GIIIUKKN9. The New England chickens are coming home to roost. Never since -the war has the South, nor any portion of the South, regretted the destruction of slavery. Never deplored anything but the cruel sacrifices consequent upon a protracted and bloody war. Nothing could be more unfounded than the charge that the Southern people, or any portion of the Southern people, or any one in the South, would have slavery restored. But the time is at hand when New England will be sorrow ing over the abolition of slavery. The total destruction of her great industry is the price she is about to pay for that fanatacism which, amid blood and carnage, swept away slavery. Before the war the South was content to grow cotton. Not a loom or spindle ever ex isted ox was thought of on Southern soil. She supplied the mills of New England with her cotton, and its manufacture into fabrics filled the Eastern States with wealth and luxury, and has always constituted thejr chief industry. All that is rapidly changing, The South is being filled with manufactories She is no longer content lo grow her cotton, but proposes also to do the manufacturing, and to do all the manufacturing. There will soon.be no raw material sent out of the cotton States. During her 18 years of freedom 191 cotton manufactories have sprung up in the Southern States, and they are yearly increas ing with a rapidity thtt will in a few years suppress wholly the mills of New England. This number is 16 more than the whole num ber in Massachusetts, and 27 more tlion the whole number in New England, outside of Massachusetts. The " irrepressible conflict " has taken this unexpected form andwill go on until every loom and spindle in New Eng land is completely silenced. Here is a cry from the Boston Traveller: Though, however, cotton manufacturing in the South Is as yet In its Infancy, It is never theless becoming rapidly apparent that Now England must nut bo too sure of retaining 11 monopoly of this branch of manufacture. A sharp competition already exists, not only fur the trade In sheetings In the cotton States, but Southern cottons are now onturlng the mar kets of tho Southwestern States, and the New Englunder finds himself confronted In all the leading markets of the Mississippi valley with sheetings and shirtings In no way Inferior In quality to thoso manufactured by hlmsell, nnd which arc offered at a less price than he, to make his ciutomary prollt, can possibly af ford. Instead of a possible competition & years honce, tho danger which threatens tho New England manufacturer is already Im minent. It is not improbable that the freedom shriek- ers of New England would have been silenced in the days of slavery if it had been foreseen that, within 20 years, the swift destruction of her great industry would have set in, as a re sult of abolition. It was not the fanatic's nor philanthiopist's zeal that abolished slavery in the Northern States where it also existed at the beginning of the Government. It simply did not pay. That it would not pay to abol ish it in the Southern States was not thought of by New England. She was willing, at the cost of millions of lives and thousands nf mil lions of money, to wipe out the "curse of slavery." She denounced, and was willing to dissolve the Union of the States as "a cove nant with death and a league with hell." But would she have been willing to lay upon the altar of abolition her great industry had she foreseen such consequence? It is not likely. It it likely she would have been content with de nunciation and prayer and left Providence wholly to deal with the curse of slavery. But her chickens are coming home to roost and, to-day, it is not the South but the section of the William Lloyd Garrisons and Arthur Tappans that would restore slavery and bring back the condition of the country in ante bellum days.
