Mullet the national architect occupies

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.
