ALABAMA has just taken ar - State census,
-and-reports a-total - population of 945,244,
Whereof 442 445 ire blgelcs. In 1860, she
hail 964,296, of, whom 435132 were slaves.
It is evident' that her bleak inhabitants
are just about At numerous AS in 1860. while
her - whitea are but 20,000 fewer. We infer
from this that the . Southern States have
generally nearly if not q&te as manyin
habitants now as in 1850, and will have
more in 1870. The stories that the blanks
are "dying out" seem to'be baseless. A
good many of them have migrated north-
ward or bean taken to Texas ; but they
will number at least 4,000,000 in 1870. •
• Tug question of the Sen;torial emcees
don, two years bowie, is beginning already
to agitate the minds of the politicians of
the State. Aspirants are showing their
hands in ditTerent localities,and frima what
has already been dono in bringing out
promieenf men for, this position, the con,
test foi the Senatorship will be mingled
with every political campaign until the
Legislature is elected which will choose
Mr. Buckalew's successor, it is admitted
that the successor must come either from
the Central, Western or NOrthern part of
the State. The East now lies ;the Govern
or, a, United States Senatoi,A4 Attorney-

The !natty thonsand workingmen who
by their votes last fall endorsed the pres
ent ngefigq, now have. thanks to the
policy of that holy, avonle time to reflect
on the 'wisdom of their course. It is cer
tain that at least - one-third, if indeed not
a lrirzer proportion of that class wbo en
voted, are now out of employment, and it
is equally sate that the retention of those
who have something to 'do is extremely
problematical. The explanation of the
fact that employers are dady discharging
those in their ,hire, is found in two circuse
• stancei. Eiratthe Southern States are
not admitted; to the Union on an equality
—and second, the country is in a state of
alarm owing to the revolutionary measures
of the dominant pArtv, The Southern
States, ff they were. represented in Cam
grass, would be'to-day. what they rilwayn
were, our best customers, hut it cannot be
expected that capitalists will invest mon
ernlti States whose future may be such as
will characterize that of any land governed
by narrow-minded arid unscrupulous rul
ers. Then again,—it will he readily seen
that no nation is likely to thrive where
one branch of the government is constant
ly and unconstitutionally legislating to
destroy the authorityrof the other two
governmental departments. Men of sit
z:acity and prudence fear that such at
tempted revolutions in law will result in a
revolution by force, and consequently hes
itate to expend their money. This is seen
to-day in our own land, where Congress is
continually attempting legislation where.

utive and the Supreme Court. ;I teople,do

tures. The persons, therefore, who regard
the distreis and inconveniences experi-
Pnced by those who have been eleeted

that the present financial trouble has
been caused solely by the policy of the
Radicals.
A DARK Day.
'fhe negro mania, which has played so
much havoc with the affairs of th e country,
-- 'seemed to reach its climax in the Senate
at Harrisburg on the sthinat. The Patriot,
of that city, in a digest of the proceedings,
says: ''During the discussion of thn bill
to punish by fine, any railroad company
that excludes negroea from the cars, Sen.
ator Wallace, Democrat, moved to amend

Mr. George Peabody has made still as
other of his characteristic and munificent
gifts. This time he contributes nearly two
million dollars "to the moral, educational,
"and industrial advancement of the desti
tute young of the Southwestern States,
°with no distinction other ihativ—their
"needs and opportunities for usefulness."
With graceful propriety the trustees of
this fund number, among others, such die
tin-guished citizens as General Gran!, Rob

Clifford, and William C. Rives. Not less
philauthropic than patriotic, this — timely

prostrate foe, tr mpling on him with iron

It does not give i's the world any exalted
picture of Amerh%n politics or even, of
Amerioan civilization. There' never was
an instance of more absolute submission
than that of the South. The utterly bro

The contrary treatment is cowardly. It
itadieaf,es fear. It shows want of coilfideoce
in the doctrine of self-government. It is
the conduct of a man who has fought be

to add torture and humiliation to defeat.
In the present case it is. equivalent to say
ing to the world; "We have hoasted a
great deal of free governments, but on-the
whole we do not dare to trust some mil
lions or our own people, educated in our
own system. to govern themselves," With
what show of reason can we tell the..-peo
ple of Europe thit ours is a good system
of government, when-they see such an
exhibition of want of confidence in it on
our part ? They would rightly reply to our
argument that we cannot get along our
selves without practicing the most tyranni
cal measures of their old autocracies; that
we erect an aristieracy, pretending to base
it on high moral principles or on superior
political and social views, and that aristoc
racy governs millions of non-voting, un
represented citizens. - - The whole course of
the Radicals toward the South is opposed .
to the first principles of democracy and
popular government.
BUT ONE COURSE. -
The wholesale butchery of nearly one
hundred of our soldiers near Fort Phil
Kearney. by. a body of three thousand In
dians, has aroused a general lectung
_horror and stifled the apologies which
many have heretofore been ready to otter
for Indian outrages. None, we - suppose,
will be disposed to question the feet that
these savages are sOmetimes.imposed upi4
by white men. But this circumstance
does not atone for the general insecurity
of travellers who have occasion to cross
the Plains; or who seek to built them
selves a home in the new territories. This
is a matter that cannot 1:e overlooked ;
and the spirit of the savages to seek re
dress indiscriminately for individual cases
of wrong, is feat forming a public opinion
that will be satisfied with nothing short of
Indian extermination, if only that
cure the desired end. The recent massa
cre has probably placed the match to the
magazine, which ha's long been filling with
acts calling for merciless retribution.
Unless all indications are /eceritive, we
will soon te launched into an Indian w.tr
of large dimensions. At its close a new
policrivill_donbtless be inaugurated. -In
stead of - alrowing our whole Western terri
tories to be overrun by these savages,
those that survive the coming contest will
be concentrated within restrict limits and
and forced to remain there. In ease thisis
done, the Indians will .probably prove
their own most efficient exterminators.
Nothing is more certain than that many
of the tribes, if throwri together, will have
a war of their own that will fully enlist all
their belligerent inclinations, and result
in visiting a large share of their blocid=
thirstiness - upon themselves.
RESULTS OF RADICALISM.
The tlisagerous . precedent sought to be
established 'by Congress, has resulted in
gemeral decline of business throughout
tho country, and a material decrease in
the national.revenue. A 4 the revolution
ary plot of Stevens and his associates is
being developed, the amounts received by
the various C3llectorsare growing 'small
by degrees and beautifully less." Take,
for instance, as an illustration of this fact,
the following returns of the Thirty-second
District of New York, which coMpriseialse
great commercial portion of the City. 'in
eluding thirty-two bonded warehouses,
and it will be found that since Wendell
Phillips, who was endorsed by the It Wi
est} Congtess, declared in favor of the im•
peachmeiot of Mr. Johnson, last summer,
the sums received from merchants in du
ties and tax4s on sales, have decreased
monthly, in alarming ratio :

This remarkable decrease in the reve•
nue of one of the largest districts in the
United States, shows a proportionate de
cline in . the general business of the city.
We might multiply Clots on this point,
but they are unnecessirr,_ The few sales
of every storekever dad merchant amply
attests its truth. -Shottld .the impeach.,
ment programme be continued and com
pleted, it will be doubtless followed, by a
disastrou4inic,
.The g nesel alarm at the course of the
Radical eaders in Congress is Siding ex
pressio . at last, even in the journals of
their own party. Says the Philadelphia
Northr r Atnerican : "The general depres
sion ot trade is painfully felt throughout
the Country, and there is: beginning to be
a nervous apprehension as to the future."
With a frankness which we commend,
even if it be forced from it- by the tnami T
tie \ nce of the danger to its commercial pat
rons, the,%North American points to the
r
of the evil. It says : •' lf the' ses
i n of Congress were to end on the fourth
.o Much next, as usual, we should have
a end to political excitement, and at

Lyman Smith, charged with perjury, was
next tried—the parties to the prosecution be
ing' a family=taeined Whitney. AU live in
Franklin tp., and there appears to have been
a long existing feud bet Ween the house of
Smith and the house of Whitney. The case
was one of the most trifling imaginable in its
nature. Smith was walking to church op-the
2d of September;. two of Whitney's girls - rode
by on horseback, and one nearly drove over
him. Smith brought complaint, alleging
that. it. was Emily Ann, when it turned
out- to base bein Alice— Thereupon
the Wbitney'e 'bad Smith indicted for per
jury. The close resemblance of the Whitney
girls made Smith's mistake quite natural, and
the• jury probably thought so, for they
brought in a verdict of not guilty, and sad
dled each of the parties to the suit with half
the costs.

In the case of John Rush, indicted for burg:.
tarp with intent to kill, the defendant plead
guilty. Rush is the man who broke into the
cellar of Mr. George Halt, in North East'
township. and, on being discovered. attempt
ed to kill that gentleman. He was allowed to
plead guilty, in order to secure his testimony
against Stephen Hicks, of the same township,
indicted as necessary to the burglary The
case of Rieke came next, and Ruth roe placed
I on the stanlas the main witness against him.
, An attempt had previously been made to ge

in a pitiful manner, that an important wit

could not 1e secured, and dolefully troteating
his innocence. The testimony- . of Rush is to
the -following effect : 'He was living on Hick's
farm, and in December 'accompanied him to
this city, with s load, of. goods. At Harbor
Creek, Hicks suggested to him that' he could
get an easier Tieing than working se ;laborer.
and, after some conversation, it sr agreed
that Rush should break int) thi cellar of
Mr. George, Hall, iv North East township, -to
get the butter and meat there. I told him I
had never been in. Hall's cellar, and be said I
could - get in the Elontli window the easiest. I
said, "supposing I get caught at it?" He
said "you musn't get caught shit:" I- said,
"supposing a man should get on top of me I"
He laid, "kill or get killed ;" "now." says
be, "if I can trust yen so that I can get that
kind of work done without fetching- me in it,
I'll pay you well, and I'll come down in a
week to North East; that would be the•7th of
_December ; be said I should meet him at the
corner near Hall's, and if I wasn't there with
the butter, he was to drive up to the house.
So, on the 7th of December I started from my'
house, and took my wife to a neighbor's, and
told hor I was going to a husking-bee : then I
went to Mr: Hall's, about 8 o'clock, and broke
out the clue and the: frame of the south cel

in the cellar ; I heard Mr. Hall coming'down

when I went in I heard Mr. Hall coming, and
I went out at the window, and the wind blew

there ; I- said "you have found your way in ;"
he said, "yes;' Isaid. "I've done it ;" he said
"bow?" I said, "look here, how bloody 1
am ;" fie said, "what'have you done ?" I said,

"It was then a scene occurred that beggars
description. - The mother pressed her in
