A BLACK JOB.

4 The blacks of the Northern States have been hold
ing convention in Boston, flooding the classic hall
| Of fremont Temple with q convocation of black
spirits and grey with but slight intermingling Of
the amalgamation class of white SKINS as the move
ment was Of character so peculiarly black that by
understanding, the white bredren were to refrain
from participation in the dark deliberations of the
august body, which was nothing more nor less than
Negro Presidential Convention the first OF the
kind, and a novel, if not surprising feature o
American politics. It was composed Of delegates
representing the black folks of the different free
States, and was convened that such united and su.
thoritatiye proceedings might mark out an indepen.
dent course for negro electors in the next Presiden
tial canvass that it might decide who should be the
honored individual worthy their instrumentality in
aid Of his elevation to the chief office in the gift Of
this mighty and mixed nation. Who is the candi.
date to bid for this important contingent OF electoral
force? Don't all speak at once
To be sure, the colored sovereigns are not SO nu-
merous as they would be were their number in any
sort Of reasonable proportion to the noise they make
in the world, and hence it may not be matter of
paramount consideration who they go for in the
scrub the fairly entered, according of.
the Democratic Convention Jockey Club, race for
Presidency soon to ensue though adroit managers may
give themselves some anxiety to handicap too dan
gerous opposing candidate with the dead weight of
their support. Their number is not LARGE there be.
ing only about 100000 free negroes in the Northern
States. In New York property qualification is
necessary to entitle the gentlemen of color to the
inestimable privilege, but in New England no such
distinction is made and though we are not informed
what il any restrictions exist in other States the
negro vote may be safely calculated as being between
fifteen and twenty thousand. So it is not probable
that their numerical consequence will exercise much
influence upon the coming canvass or exert dictato
rial power in the choice of candidates, and we may
rest secure from any apprehension lest black ballots
compass our humiliation by eecting black man to
occupy the chair Of Washington which, according to
hetenets Of the Republican party is free to him as to
any if be can only get there. Ali men are born free
and equal and this Of the negros inaienable
rights" Their creed could not permit that he should
be excluded ifelectcd-for hasn't he as good right
to be voted for as to vote ?-and he would go in as
its master to shine in beautiful contrast with the
White House. Phew can ounce of ciyet, good
apothecary!"

FATAL DuEL-A private letter dated Cadiz July
Ii, says:
On Saturday last there was lying in the harbor of
Cadiz Russian frgate and Russian war steamer
and in consequence of quarrel between midshp
man of the steamer, and the first lieutenant of the
frgate, duel agreed upon between the parties,
and they proceeded to Port ST. Mary's, town the
opposite side of the harbor, fully prepared with
seconds and several other gentlemen 70 settle the
dispute at the point of the sword After the combat
had lasted half an hour with result, it was agreed
that they should then take pistols. of which had
bullet in. the other only powder, and they were to
draw lots for them and fire. standing at arms length.
The midshipman, it would appear, drew the pistol
with the ball. and shot his opponent in the forehead,
who instantly dropped dead, and was conveyed on
board ship 1t is reported that the midshipman pro-
ceeds home, under arrest, to be tried by court
martial The authorities here wish to hide the affair,
and give out that the lieutenant died suddenly of APP
poplexy. Both the steamer and the frigate sailed
from here this morning.

Bark Amy, 700 bales. 1890
Total losses from fire according to the cost of the
co ton at place Of shipment 1858, 200 We omit 22O
bales, reported as being burned on board the bark
Oakland at Charleston, and valued at $132 500, be.
cause there is an error somewhere. If it were 1920
bales at $l32500, it would approximate the market,
yet we observe that the Charleston Courier has
copied the figures like our contemporary, say 220
bales, valued at $l32,5oo.
Regarding these severe losses this season. they
were no doubt caused by the cotton being received
and slowed on shiphoard in damp and humid state.
It will not be forgotten how many thousands Of bales
Of cotton were piled on our streets through the wet
and rainy weather Of last winter owing to the want
Of sufficient room under cover. Cotton presses and
warehouses have been erected year after year for the
last ten years, yet they do not keep pace with the
great increase Of business and cotton is suffered to
be piled up in the streets and subject to all incemen.
cies, and much of it being received on shpboard in
damp and humid state, and with the constant
practice of smoking cigars allowed by all and every
one having anything to do with cotton-the roller,
the sampler, the drayman, the stevedore, as well as
the buyer is it wonderful or strange that we have so
many disasters from fire to record?
The following paragraph from the article in the
Courier and Enquirer, we do not exactly understand
as the general impression for many years past has
been that cotton and cotton shipments formed com.
paratioeu large portion Of the total commerce of the
United States, instead Of small portion but here
is what the Enquirer says on this point:
When it is considered that the cotton shipments
form but comparatively small portion of the total
commerce. and that almost all of the losses are ships
from the port Of New Orleans the magnitude of the
evil may be appreciated. The comparison is still
more forcble when we consider that the total ship
ments from New Orleans are only on the average
500, 900 bales valued at $50 600 900, making the
loss Separating the New Orleans cotton ship from
the other over three quarters per cent of the total
shipments. Our insurers cannot afford these losses!
The Enquirer says that the total shipments of cot.
ton from New Orleans are only on an average of
1900 900 bales per annum. We do not know from
what source the Enquirer obtains the information !;
but according to Custom House the average ship
ments per annum for the past four years have been
1862 IL bales, and this season they reach 900
bales. Our neighbor, the Picayune, and the Courier
and Enquirer can settle about the slush and grease
part Of the combustion. But we do not think our
Board Of Underwriters will adopt any soap or grease
clauses in their policies, they are abundany able to
withstand all losses cotton, be they ten per cent
or twenty per cent. of the yearly losses.
