"A fellow feeling loakee na wondvruui kind." lyroa. THE SOUTHERN KEOIW. Tho people of tho Nortliern Stiitcs liuvo only begun tomukotho acquaint ance of tlio ncero of the South. Ho has always been a study und a puxnic to those with whom ho lived, and what chance, then, had strangers to becomo acquainted with his nature and char aclcrinlics. During tho w ar he showed no (JisjxwitioD to oliKlnu t the efforts oi bislormvr owner; after the war ho was sot above tho latter by military pnwor and directed by the carpet-bagger; and only of Into lias ho been left to himself to show Tvhut bo can tlo, witb every chance of improvement in his favor. As tho negro volo is becomo so largo an element in tho government of tho country, it seems about lime that tho class that throws it be bettor understood. All citizens alike are profoundly interested to know what is tbo naturo of tbo new clement with which they are equally to share tbo franchise. All reliable information therefore, will bo eagerly welcomed that will help to make the mutter clour and intelligible. A Mansachusctts citi gen Mr. (icorgo R. Stetson has le ccntly given the public tbo result of bis personal investigation.) in a letter en titled "Tbo Southern Negro as Ho Is," which embodies answers to questions addressed by him to men of both races at tho South, many of which are given without any change whatever. In this result of bis investigations bo presents the Southern negro just as bo is, morally, socially and politically, and it is a picture from which but little en couragement or hopo is to be derived. He asserts that it is a grave mistake to suppose that tho negro is easily under stood or readily classified. Ono must know him Irom an intimate intercourse of years, and then he says nothing has boon definitely found out. Those who have lived all their lives with him con fess that hois past finding out. Natur ally religious, ho is almost wholly emotional. Ho has " very little active sense of virtue and vice as such, or as principles of action." Ho never con siders more than tho immediate conse quences of his action, and rarely the question of right and wrong. Conjugal fidelity is generally disregarded. That is not an aboriginal and general senti ment, for the lowest races do not culti vate the institution of niarriago. In regard to property ho- is oblivious ol tho doctrine of meum and fitum ; ho cannot bo made to believe that stealing is a sin. The besotting sin of tbe negro in both sexes is sensuality. His senso ol friendship and gratitudo is small, llo is held by a contract only so long as be thinks it for his advantage, attaching no sanctity to his promise. Being en tirely omotionul, ho is Intensely super stitious. But tbo race is thoroughly infected with leticbism that is native to Alrica. In the duties of practical roligion it is extremely deficient. In Georgia, of the white population, there is one Church member to cvory 2.42 persons ; of the blacks, ono to every 4.02. Tho negro does not love labor for its own sake ; he prefers the irregular and indolent habits of the Aborigines. Nor ia be fond of labor as a means lo an end. His physical capacity for it is good, but except for rude employments be is nut adapted. Ha never improves on his method of doing a thing. Ho is improvident, not working to accuniu late nor knowing how to spend what he has earned economically. In bis work he needs surveillanco, and works all the better for it. Ho is easily con trolled ; self-sustaining only by tho smullncss of bis wants ; and prefers frcquont holidays to continuous work. If bo has a desiro for education, it is based on a love of novelty and of dis play. Tho negro boy has a good mem ory, but bis desiro to learn exhausts itself at about the age of fifteen. Tbe negro does not cherish a hope of either social or mental equality with the whites. In tho towns and citiea ho displays vanity instead ol pride, bnton the plantations be bas not oven that. The rising generation of Southern blacks is pronou need to be deteriorating in every way physically, mentally, and morally. It is not so much in clined to work ol any kind as the ono that is going off tho stage. The female are withdrawing from plantation labor and demanding to bo supportod like " white folks." Insanity is frequent and increasing. The negro's memory is much better than his judgment. He is incapable of reasoning, and, there fore, must remain improvident. If he baa money be sponds it on tho first things that strikd bia fancy, without regard to the want of his family. All that he knowi about politics is " the color-lino." Ho has no concep tion of the general interests of society, Teaipg chiefly the Tongeance of his own rate. The woinon will abandon their busbanda for voting against tboir wishes. They are swayed principally by the fear of loaing their freedom, upon which designing men play, The negro is a floating voter, but always siding against properly uml Intelligence until ho feels that ho has been betrayed, as ho Is just beginning lo find out that ho bas been. Ho neither reads nor writes ; is immoral ; rcusons I in perfect ly ; remembers but confusedly what ho is lolcl ; bus no power of unalysia ; is .Tn.t-Tfri, XV.'J" ..ekiel,.,t,'",-. wu-ww.aT fa-.- . .eulnTe.; cepts a bribe, Tho dunger in conse quence of such ignoranco springs from its liuge numerical power, which it lias not in tho North. Just at this juncture, it is iinlortumiu l),jt ).o thouri i,w been deserted by tbo piolesscd philan thropist. Ho bus boeu tried as a Leg islator, a Judge, a Major General, and a Policeman, and ho will not ti Im cither one. Tho severe school of ad versity teaches him but little. Hut ho is at this time in n position where ho must stand or full. Iluving boon ru moved limn politics us an active factor, ho mnst go to work now to miiko him self a homo and necessarily renew his closo relations with his former muster Only when ho is courted by all politi cal parties uliko will he tusto bis politi cal freedom. Liberia shows what a black Government can do. It excludes all whites from the bullot. Hut it does not satisfy tbe negroes who havo been sent out there. Tbo love of homo is stronger than that of a I hoary. Noth ing but the constant application of ex ternal help can hold iiptliulcommuiiily against relupsing into burharism. It is not un encouraging picture of a racu suddenly thrust intoGovornmcnt privi leges, and ovory succeeding ycur it will compel our mora and more anxious consideration. Boston '.'.

Richmond, Va., October 31 After break fust this morning tbo Prcisdenliul party were driven in carriages to vari ous places ol interest, and at 1 1 o'clix k wcro taken to tbe Fair grounds and turned over to tba authorities of Ihe Stale Agricultural Society. The party were conducted to tbo brick building occupied as tbo headquarters of tho Agricultural Society, and from tho upper porch tbo speeches were deliv ered. The crowd that gathered around tho building was large, but not so large as it would have been bad the weather been bright. Tho officers of Ibo So ciety, members of the City Council and distinguished citizens wero stationed on the porch with tho President. Gov. James A. Kemper was selected by tho Society to welcome Mr. Hayes. Ilo relerred to Virginia's curly record and said it was hero flint declared that gov ernment was instituted for the common and equal benefit, security and protec tion ot all the people, llo continued : " Believing it is your good fortune, sir, to stand in a greut crisis on this funds mental principle ol our fathers, wo, therefore, rejoice in every assurance of your determination to recognizo nnd respect the equal integrity nnd honor, tbo equal lights ol self government and the equal liberties of tho sections, States anil people of our common country." President Hayes, in response, re turned thanks for tbo genuine Virginia welcome he bad received, and entered into a description of tho resources of the State. Secretary Kvarls followed. His speech for tbo most part was in the humorous vein, and was interrupted with frcquont laughter and nppluusc. lie closed with nn appeal for peaco und a united country, Secretary Sherman followed with a thoroughly agricul tural speech, and Attorney General Dovens, Senator Morgan, of Alabama, and Congressman Luring, of Massachu setts, made short addrosses, tbo latter introducing Mrs. Hayes lo the crowd. After making a tour of tho grounds and making an inspection of tho cxhi tion and partaking of lunch tho party rcturnod lo tho city. Tbo programmo closes to-night witb a State reception at tho residence of Governor Kemper. Parental Hkrpect. Wm. II. Vun derbilt was a great smoker in his youth. One day in 18G.1, as the family were on their wny to St. Petersburg, on board the steam yacht "Northern Hiar," tho father and son wero walking on dock. Tho latter was puffing away bio afternoon cigar. " 1 wish you would glvo up that smoking habit of yours. I'll givo you 110,000 if you do it," said the Commodore, abruptly. " You neod not givo mo tiny money ; your wish is quite sufficient," answered the son, throwing the cigar overboard. And he has never smoked since. It is reported lhat when somebody asked Mrs. Secretary McCrary if she bad Mrs. Belknap's carriage, she imme diately answered, " No, you won't find any of that ikulhtninyny around us I " Whonco Is this awful word, and what does it mean ? " (WOP POIOE," Tbo Hon. S. sTwTrahull, of Illinois, In a s pooch on Ibo floor of Congress, July 21, 1808, mentioned tbo following instance : "An Association of geiillcmt'ii (in an Eastern Klutu) ruined three hundred Iticj vtohl lu luu ullicu urtuu uvetiw.k.1 of the Treasury and exchanged tboir currency lor g'100,000 in six per cent, gold hearing bonds. They then went to tbo ofiico of the Comptroller of tbo currency, 'in the sumo building, organ ized a Nutiunul Bank, deposited their t:iOO,0(IO in bonds, and received for their bunk 8-70,000 in National Bank currency. They had It ft tho Govern ment have $.10,000 In currency more than they received for bunking pur pose, and had on deposit $'100,000, on which they received as interest from the (iovui iiment $18,(100 a year in gold (and exempt from taxation). This was pretty good financiering for these banks to roceivo $18,000 a year in gold on tbo $30,000 in currency, which Ihoy bad thus loaned lo the Government. But this is not tbo whole story. They had their bank made a Public Depos itory, They soon discovered that there was scarcly over less Ibun n million dollars ol Government money deposited within their vaults. They did not like to sco this vast sum lie idle. They, therefore, took one million dollars of this Government money und bought iino million of 5 20 bonds wilb it. In other words, they loaned ono million ot tho Government's own money to the Government, and deposited tho bonds received in tho vaults of their bunk, on which they received from the same Government $00,000 a your in gold us interest. Thus fur $30,000 in currency which they originally luuned tho Gov ernment, they received annually in all $78,000 in gold." Bcrkeym lite Monty Qucttion, I'titje 218.

Trdtle Lint. MOKTA UTYAMOSa SOUHERX XEGHOES. Tho lulu of r..ori.iily among the colored people of some of tho cities ol tho South is indeed startling, and well worthy the attention of all thoughtful men. Iu Richmond, for instance, the averugu of deal lis among tbe negroes is fully twice as great hs among tho whiles. During tho week ending Au gust 28, fourteen white persons died llicro and twentv-fivo colored, p'or the corresponding week last year tho official report shows that the toliil num ber of deaths among tbo whites was only eleven, whilo of tho colored popu lation twenty-right personsdied. Week uflor week tho mortuary reports of Charleston, New Orleans, Memphis, Savannah, Augusta, Atlanta und Mo bile tell tho same startling story. Tbe average of deaths among tbo blacks is three or four times as greut as among tbe whiles. In a recent interesting cominnnincalion on this subject, which was published in ono of tho Memphis pupers, it appcurs that the official mor tuary reports of that city show that during tho year 187(1 there) wore 662 deaths among tbo wbita population and GO among the negroes. In other words, considering tbo proportion of i white, and colored inhabitants, tho leuth rata among tbo negroes was nearly four times as great as among tbo whiles. During tbo mouths of July and August of Ibis year tho offi cial reports show that 128 whites and 148 negroes died, or considering tho proportion of the population, more than five negroes to one white. Tho caso of tho city of .Memphis is not an isolated one. As wo have already staled, re ports similar lo tbo above come from all parts of tbo South. Tho causes which lead to this terrible death rale among tho colored peoplo need not long bo sought ulter. They are only too apparent lo thoso who aro conver sant with tbo modes of lilo of tho ne groes ol the cotton Slates. They neg- led or starve their offspring, abandon their sick lo llieir own resources, in- dulgo every animal passion to excess, and, when they havo money, spend their nights in tho most disgusting and debilitating debauchery. All Ihcsu IocIb naturally lead to tho question : Aro tbo negroes going the way of the Indiana r Aro they being "civilized from off the face of the earth t " iV'tr I'orA- Timrt. O EX ERA L HOWARDS PLEA. Genera! Howard seems determined to keep himself before the country in somo form or another, and now that tho Ner. Perccs campaign Is over ho is submitting himself, wilh tears in bis eyes, to tho Interviewer and making out a pitiublo case in his own behalf. Wo doubt not that Gen. Howard hon estly thinks himself abused. But by what rule is tho country lo go in Its estimate ol a limn ? He bas been tried in a number of different positions since tbo war, und in all of them, from the management ol tho Ki ecdman's Bureau until tbo bunt for Chief Joseph, ho has mado not Indifferent successes, but signal failures. Ho bas had resources in nbundufico at his command, and successive Administrations have been very patient, apparently willing to ex. perimont Indefinitely to sco whut scr vico under the Government be bad most genius lor. That is a still un- dcmoiistrutod problem, but wo doubt not a long suffering country is willing lo glvo him another chance, though it must bo in something more bumble than what ho has thus far attempted. Wo do not think it good taste for Gen Howard to whine or accuso tbe Gov ernment lhat haa nut bread into bia mouth ol robbing him of a largo sum ol money. Ilo should not add Ingrsli tudo to his other weaknesses, and ho is not going tho right way to work' to win sympathy, even il ho deserves it. M out. urn..

O God of mercy, let there bo left no vestigo on tho earth of tbo impious Russians, tbo Hellenes, tbe Slavonians, and other Infidel Franks, allied or sympathizing witli them encompass them, O (iod, on every sido with grievous plagues ; overthrow them wilb Thy terrible wrath, wilh fires, with massacres and shipwrecks, hy strangling, by pestilence and chol- era, by lumino ana !y earthquakes ; make tboir cities empty ol inhabitants; shuko them by Thy eight avenging spirits ; as these mischievous and im pious infidels endeavor to injure us, let them, O God, suffer in tbeir own eyes, in tbeir sense, in tbeir wives, in tbeir children, and lastly, in their own lives; let Thy anger arid indighaffori, O Gbd, bo hurled uion them like hailetonos ; mako llieir goods a plunder to all those who believe In Thee and the Holy Prophet Mohammed, with whom be tho grace and blessing of Almighty (iod." This is ubaolulcly terrific, and if an swered the enemies of tbo Mussulman will have a desperately small chance ut life. THE VAC AST CHAIR. the stoby in a eo a iwto senator San- sou and Morton's chaib. . Washington, Nov. I. Senator Ran som, of North Carolina, Is annoyed by a statement recently published that be had spoken for the scat of Senator Morton, near tha centre of tbe cham ber, in case of the death of that Sena tor. It is tho custom in tbo Senato to bespeak seats sometimes a year or two in advance of Ihem becoming vacant Last spring, during tbe extra session of tho Senate, wben there woa an ex tensive chango In seals of Senators on account of the tonus of service of one- third of tho membera of that body having expired, Senator McDonald, tbe colleague of Senator Morton, secured a scat near that Senator, and shortly afterward Senators Morton, McDonald and Ransom were-in friendly conversa tion, when Mr. Morton remarked: flunsntn, it is injurious to yottr health to occupy that swat Hear tbe door, and ought to scturd a more desirablo one." Senator Ransom laughingly replied: Well, Seuutor, w e Democrats have In diana now, and J will pre-empt your cut so 1 ran have it wben your term of service expires oa tbe 4lb of March, 1879;" and turning to Senator Mclhin- uld, said: "How you must see that Morton is not re-elected." Tho Ibrco Senators laughed over the matter. The recent statement oonvoye the errone ous impression that Suuator Hansom spoke lor the seal wiinin m low oays past, .in anticipation of tbo death of Senator Morion. State Oil Wells.
