The fillibustering steamer Manguay,

A gentleman who has lived in Gal-
veston since 1858 and who is thor-
oughly identified with its interests
stated to us to-day that, taking every-
thing into the estimate, that Galves-
ton has sustained a loss by the storm
of fully five millions of dollars. He
does not think that, the actual mate-
rial loss constitutes anything like the
greater portion of this loss, but that
the decrease in real estate values
and loss of trade will bring it up to
this high figure. We have no doubt
that the growth of the city will be
checked by this calamity but in a year
or two the scare will subside and
the city will renew its onward course
to commercial greatness. But there
has to be a great deal of money ex-
pended upon its harbor improve-
ments and every exertion of enter-
prise used to turn the tide which now
sets against that city. We under-
stand that there is scarcely eight feet
of water on the inner bar where
there used to be twelve, and this
must be attended to at once. If Gal-
veston would commence in earnest
to repair its losses and pro vide the
necessary defenses she will save in
trade far more than the improve-
ments will cost her. If something is J
not done at once the ultimate loss to ‘

not restrain his vision to microscopic '
investigations. He looks over the
heads of his fellows and is rarely
happy. Again he finds the country
in a bad way and predicts terrible
ruin if inflation wins the day. We
believe Mr. Schurz is honest because
he quit the radical party when his
judgment could not assent to the ex-
cesses of its leaders. But we think
his course now inexpedient when he
attempts to nterfere with a demo-
cratic triumph in Ohio. He may
reason very learnedly and very log-
ically but the immediate tendency of
it is all wrong. The triumph of soft
money in Ohio would not give us soft
money. That is a national affair.
But if the Democrats loose Ohio we
may loose the presidential election
thereby. So we think Mr Schurz
had better staid at home, and writ-
ten off his argument to be laid before
the national democratic convention
when that meets next year

The new constitutions that are be-
ing framed by the Southern States
expressly renounce the right of se-
cession from the federal union. That
is so much gained by the practice of
the Federalist theory of the central
government. But we doubt whether
it will amount to much as a binding
obligation in times of National dis-
turbance. Concessions that are ob-
tained by force may be considered
fair game for the party making the
concession when time has strength-
ened the hand of resistance. In
other words conquest does not fill the
conditions of a valid contract which
it would be considered dishonorable
to violate. What is gained by arms
may be lost by arms, and the faith
that is violated meanwhile does not
amount to much in the estimation of
the world. The South however we
believe will not now be the first to
interrupt the autonomy of the union
but rather will harden its policy of
submission to the powers that be and
leave to other sections the inaugura-
tion of the era when many small
States will take the place of the
Union which now is. That this will
come at last the history of other na-
tions plainly teaches. It is only by
military power that a large area rep-
resenting varied climes and produc-
tions, and consequently diverse in-
terests, can be kept under the control
of one government. As soon as the
pressure is removed disintegration
begins, and the circumferences of the
fractional governments are adjusted
to the various interests which had
clamored for a warmer fostering. If
any section of this union shall grow
into a greatness sufficient to cope
with the national authority and there
is a peculiar interest there not com-
mon to the other sections, which
needs separate government for its
thorough development and protec-
tion, disunion will then surely come,
notwithstanding all of the sentimen-
tal gush which we have heard about
the old flag and this “glorious union.”
The “manifest destiny” theory can
only be consummated by practical
means, such as the intermingling of
all the diverse inrerests throughout
all parts of the country. For in-
sthce if the South shall become a
manufacturing country it will desire
protection along with the east. If
the center of government and trade
shall gravitate to the west and the
Mississippi river become the grand
highway for the commerce of the na-
tions we would hear no more com-
plaints from the Mississippi vally
against the domination of the East
and the tyranny of Wall street. The
interests of the country would be
harmonised and in equilibrium, and
the national laws would bear equally
upon all sections. It matters not
what the statutes may say, secession
will be easy so long as this govern-
ment is founded upon the opiniona
and will of the masses. Although a
great wrong has been done to the
South still we believe that the
government which we now have (or
rather that which under democratic
auspices we bid fair soon to have)is
the best on the earth for the rapid
development of all material interests,
and to afford to every man the most
perfect enjoyment of his rights to
life, liberty and property.
