It 1ms been officially ascertained that no new steps have been taken in the negotiation for settling the Alabama claims. Ex-Minuter Webb testified again before the House Committeo of Foreign Affairs to-day in regard to the tho Paraguayan difficulties, and thought that tho Allied Powers and Lopez had both committed outrages.

Radicalism everywhere, and especially in thoso Commonwealths of the South, has been the symbol of misrule and oppression. The result is tho combination of all true men who two in tuvor 01 gooa government on iehalf iof* Bomo degroe of protection i'or life, liberty and property. The better c*la?8 of the Republicans in the South cannot forget the fact that tiiay are citizens, apd have interests $t ^tuHe; and lienor the developments for a rule undor which there can bo safety and prosperity. The reaction in the South has, of neoeusity, been great. It could not be otherwise. Wo do not dodbt, therelore, that both Texas and Mississippi will follow ifho load of Tennessee aud Virginia, and placo themselves aide by side in sufypt/A, pf/antf*Ra<^l?l??m. And this seems to bo not orHy tho growing sentiment, but conviction of tKij wh?l? -' t-.-te on a general vote, and electei' ' that period two of its Governor?ilomtio Seymour iti 18G2, aud IIoll nnn in 18G8, I>111 the Republicans have hud the real power in the intera flairs of the State, becausothey have had the majority iu the State Le^jisla1 u re. This is certainly one cf the si^ns of the times. In Ohio, at the election in 1868, for President, Grant received the vote of the State by a majority of 40.G17 votes. At the recent election for Governor, Mr JTaycs, Republican, was elected by a majority of only 7,500 ! \ Ull'O. This of itself attests tlio change in public opinion. And so wo might cite from tho other States. The country is fast drifting away from the old issues. The cry of disqualification and of evasion of the Constitution, i under tho plea of party necessity, and under the cloak of patriotism, is ascertained to be false and hollow. mi. ? i - - - - - a uu |ii-ui>iu mo rising 10 a iiMie, una therefore to a higher conception of; right, justice and the common weal. And ti?us they have discovered that there can bo no true unity or welfare an long as Radicalism lias the sway. This is tho source of al' the woes and dissensions which this land has been called upou to undergo since the war. All its promises of peace | have been like the Dead Sea fruits,! lull of bitterness and ashes. And now everywhere there if a; demand for peace, and a demand for decent mid honest government* which no arts can allay and no nub-1 terlutc prevent. Mr. Parker I'illshnry, certainly not prediai"?sed to the Sou'h, has Imr.ie his testimony that wherever K.idiealism bears th<* sway, there the rule has been "against all the dictates , ! a get mine statesmanship, as well as the rc(|nircnicnts of jns | tire and humanity." What the country need-*, is the obliteration of nil distinctions on aocount of the past, tlic withdrawal of all political manacles on the part ot Congress, or of the Administration, the restoration of the people to the free and unbiassed control of their own States and internal governments, and the full and real voice of their people. This attained, prosperity will once more ensue, ami the whole land will be oiKi in-fact, as it is now one in name. The recent elections proclaim the coming morn. For the full day we must have union of all men who thus aspire, liadicalism needs no comment. Its history is written in the servitude of she past and the misrule of the present. With its overthrow will come peace and ttmfly. As the Washington Jnldligccer ami Express well say-*: "If without ! any sacrifice of principle upon the ( living isssues of the day, the path can hu smoothed for a union of all good men, to reform the Government, restore the Constitution, and cleans the augean stable, then what j is necessary should bo done to effect j it.

Alluding to th? fact that there is a growing disposition on thopart. of the young to leave llie "puternul acres" in t he hope of bettering their fortune in citiuH. and to the fact that the nronor tio? of agriculturalist lu the whole body of the population is not as largo as it should, the Time* says: ''Now, there can be no more fixed axiom in political economy than that agriculture must form the basis of the proapcrit}' and power of the American people. It is the great foundation of our national wealth aud consequence?the primury source of all our prosperity. It feeds us. To a degree it clothes us. Without it wo could not have manufactures, and should not have commerce. It furnirtlirtfti ntit* >*t/tfiou ?v i t K f ltuii* ? ??%* material and it fills oar ships with their cargoes. Social industry depends upon it; individual lifo depends upon it. There is no man in the country who is so wealthy as to he independent of the successor this gr.-at interest, nor any so poor as not to beuffeeted by its prosperity or its decline. This corn-try has peculiar facilities for advantageously prosecuting this great department of human labor. | i lie variety ol its climate, the ahun dauco and cheapness of its fertile soil, are such as no other nation oh the surface of the globe can boast. It is no credit to our vaunted enterprise that we have never yet made adequate use of these signal advantages?thai the time has never yet been when the proportion of our farmers to the whole population was as lar^e as it should I have been? when the number of those I engaged in profession * and trades ! were not, at the very least, twice as greut as the actual necessities of society required. There is reason to apprehend that this disproportion will increase.
