Tho njeasngo o? Frestdont Graut o?n taina few pointa of striking in tore ot, Tho" President, in his easy mood and his constitutional tepathy^ is disposed to think that we "oro getting on in ? na? tional way rather pleasantly than other? wise, j Aa Boon aa tho whole country aim'1 shoe/ forth a disposition to pay the pub lie debi, and to let every ban vote as he may, tben^^aedordidg to tho President all will ho. woll, and ?ha country may go 6n:. its-((tray tf?joloing. We regret that wo oonoot share in the President's rono-colorp'd Views pf the present and futuro of this cou airy. It may be well for ? io oso Who' are tn?, to think as the President thinks, but those who are POW#? desire a change. We do not con oar with the President in his views as to tho satisfactory condition of the coun? try. One portion, at least, of it, could be greatly improved. Fraud, corruption and mis-rule prevail in many sections of tho South, and we bold that everywhere a reform is greatly needed as to the way in wliioh tho publie affairs are managed, and tho military ig encroaching upon the oivildepartments of the Government. We hold that the situation might be greatly ohauged for the better. OUR TERRITORIAL AREA.-The area of the organized territories of the United States, including Alaska, is greater than that of all the States which have been admitted into the Union. There are nearly 1,000,000,000 aores of land in these territories, Bnd not over 50,000 white inhabitants. In natural resources, this territorial .domain is richer than the area included in the States. The latter contain cay 40,000,000 settlers, and even these would hardly be near enongh for neighborhood purposes. Railroads will op?ii tip/' the country end bring popula? tion. What a magnificent country to oarvo ihtb homesteads for 40,000,000 landlose people 1 " 8??S-???'? ? ? T?a NiOTH Oar?TJs.-Though the re? sults of tho census of 1870 ore not fully col?Bot?d, enough' hos been ascertained to: establish ' that the population of the United'States Id' ?bout 39,000,000. The NeW York Post estimates that the princi? pal change in the proportionate political power of the country will be the transfer of nearly one-third of that now held by ?New England to the States bordering on the Mississippi valley. The Southern States are saved from the loss of political power by the act of emancipation. COLORED RADICALS REBUKED.-The negroes have nominated one of their own color os candidate for a vacant Senatorship in Pennsylvania; whereupon the Philadelphia Press reminds the colored people that the Republican party have "again and again risked much for the colored man, and often the risk has culminated in loss." It adds: "There is no justice now in asking that the Re? publican party should in any case assume any special risk, by any nomination turning on the question of color-a question now happily sunken and out of sight." It gently hints that this colored candi? date should get out of the way, that his running will jeopardize the election, and that "a defeat of the Republicans in the special election, through any mistaken action of the colored voters, would go far towards rendering it impossible to eleot colored men to official positions hereafter. " The "Am I not a mau and brother?" theory receives a severe blow from the hands of Dr. Bird, an eminent English physician, now resident in Italy, who has been making a series of experiments upon the blood of various races. He affirms, ns the result of his investiga? tions, a marked difference in its condi? tion; the blood of the Bengalcso con? taining fewer red corpuscles than tho European, and that of tho negro still less. He argues from this, different grades in physical organization, and proves the Caucasian to be altogether a higher and entirely different typo of mankind from the inhabitants of African jungles. ? . ? REDUCTION OF THE Altair.-The Wash? ington Patriot says: "Ono of the first duties of the Democrats, after tho meet? ing of Congress, should bo to demand an immediate reduction of tho army. If national troops arc only to seivo aa n political police, and to bo transported from place to place at tho people's ex? pense to promote tho bobcats of party, th?n the time has come when the army should bo cut down to tho actual wonts of proper military service, or be dis? banded. This is the doy aud tho hour to strike down usurpation, before it be comesiormidableby habit and dangerous by abuse." A lotter from Paris, by balloon, an? nounces that Oscar and Edmund LaFay ette-tho grand-sons of tho General, have re-entered the Frenoh military ser? vice. Both were educated for tho army, but resigned in 1848, when they begot to take an activo part in politics Another grand-son of LaFayette, Mon aieur Jules Laster ie, and bia son, Louii Lasterie, have entered the Garde Mo bile, and are among the defenders ol Paris.
