y THE NEGRO NoRTH AND SoUTH-Recent statistics,
published in New York, show beyond doubt the
moral and physical decay Of the negro in that land
of socalled freedom. If anywhere in the North the
negro can get along or hold his own it ought to
be in the large commercial city of New York: We
notice that the last census gave the number of ne
groes in that city as IL ,000 The Alms-House re-
port shows that about 3,500-one-third OF the num-
ber-not including those who receive private charity
are dependent for existence on the public charl-
ties another third live by thieving, and only the
remaining third are classed respectable; these
are white-washers boot blacks, walters, &c, and
even with them the living is precarious Only
twenty are taxpayers in the whole city.
Now for the contrast. correspondent Of one OF
our Northern exchanges, writing from Charleston,
says that the number of colOred persons taxed IN
that city is $50, and of these three hundred and
four are owners of real estate while two hundred
and twenty six of them real state to the amount
of 81 900 or more-Some of them nearly S5O,OOO
WORTH the entire amount owned by the two hun
dred and twenty-six above referred to- amounted to
$717,495.
The moral condition of the negro population in
the two sections presents also great contrast we
have not the figures at hand to give the coored
membership of the Southern Methodist Church,
but we suppose that that communion has more than
any other branch Of the Church. We have some
figures however in relation to the numbers OF col
ored members connected with some of the Southern
PresbyterleS
In the Presbytery of Charleston, South Carolina,
1877 out of 1882 members considerably over
one-half are colored. In the whole Synod of South
Carolina, 1000 out OF 1904 are colored members.
The Presbyterics of Mississippi and Central Missis
sipp of Tuscaloosa and South Alabama, of Georgia,
of Concord and Fayetteville also show many chu CHI
es with large proportions of coored communicates,
from onethrd to one-Seventh of the whole. In the
above mentioned bodies, there 90T9 colored, out
of 80. Cos COMMITMENTS. Among the churches of
these Presbyteres we find twenty with an aggregate
colored membership of 5000, or an average OF 100
to each.
Physically, the race also declines at the North.
In 1858 the Day Book says that while the deaths
amounted in 1858 to 400, the births were only 81.
1t is evident therefore which however needs no new
comments, that the only true condition of the ne
gro the only condition which promotes his happi-
ness. is that of Southern slavery. But although
statistics are brought forward constantly to prove
this, anatcism and hypocritcal philanthropy close
their eyes and do their best to consign the negro
to poverty and suffering.

ThE New GALWAY STEAMERs-STILL MORE RA-
PID COMMUNICATION WITH EURoPR.-The steamship
Connaught the first Of the for new Galway steam
to be called after the four provinces of Ireland
was to have been launched yesterday and will prob
ably be soon on her way to this continent The
company has entered into a contract with the gov
ernment binding themselves to convey mails and
Geographic dispatches to and fro between Galway
and ST. Johns respectively in six days by the steam
erS of this line This is certainly bold stipulation
1t is quite an American idea, and if carried out will
bring the two continents into closer communication
than they ever were before. The distance between
the two ports is about $3.50 miles, and if i: is made
in IA hours, these vessels must run at a uniform
speed in all weathers of nearly twelve miles an hour
1t is said however, that they will be able to run
twenty miles an hour if required If they fulfill the
terms of the contract nothing can beat this rapdty
of communication except Wises balloon, or the
Atlantic telegraph-N Y Herald.

FEATs OF STRENGTH.-Mr. G. B. WinShip of Bos-
ton, has been astonishing the people of Philadel-
phia by exhibitions of his strength. He accompa.
MES them with lecture, in which he dilates on
gymnastics, &c He is described by the Bulletin as
about twenty-five years of age, of medium height
full cheStcd and rather thin anked, hands and feet
well proportioned-his countenance intelligent
though not remarkable in any way. After his lee
turc he prepared himself for his feats of strength
lie appeared without coat or collar and in his bare
arms HIS first performance was to lift 963 pounds
weight the arrangement of which is thus described:
There platform of timber twelve feet high,
from beam in the centre Of which wGs suspended
nine kegs of nails A stick was run through ring
in the chain by which the nail kegs were suspended,
and placing the stick between his legs he, with one
hand behind and the other before his body, raised
the enormous weight about three inches. 1t came
down with crash that made the platform creak.-
tenth keg being placed on the pile, Mr.. w. lifted
the entire mass, ten hundred and seventy pounds !;
having recently hurt his left shoulder, Mr.. w. did
not think it prudent to lift any His next feat
was the holding at arms length, above his head a
one hundred and eighty pound dumb-bell. Next
throwing out, six times IN succession, at arms
length, above his head, one hundred pound dumb
bell. Thirdly, he raised barrel of flour on his
shoulder, and held it there about two minutes
Next. he raised his body about two and half feet
into the air with his little finger His fifth feat
raising his entire weight five times in succession
about three feet above the floor, with the middle
finger of his right hand. In two years he expects
to be able to lift sixteen hundred pounds. " hen
he commenced his feats of strength, he could only
raise 400 or 800 pounds

SOUTHERN LADY GRIEvoUSLY WRoNGED.-
Among the passengers from New York on Saturday,
by the steamship Roanoke, were the young and in
terestng widow and two children of the late Hon.
Beverly l.. Clarke, United States Minister to Guate
mala and Honduras. Upon her voyage from As
pinwall, in the steamship Ariel, Capt Minor as we
learn from several of the passengers of the Roanoke
to whom she related the circumstances, her conf
dence in the Captain and crew basely betrayed.
The Ariel left Aspinwall on the 9th instant and
Mrs. Clarke having taken passage accepted the
courteSies extended for her protection by the Cap
tain and placed herself children and servant under
his care. lie treated her with marked respect du-
ring the voyage, the crew were also assduous in
their attentions and the coOrcd steward especially
seemed anxious to lessen the monOtony of the voy
age by his kindness. In the meantime, the colored
servant girl of Mrs. Carke-a slave highly valued
as a maternal gift and one with whom she had been
raised from early chdhood-manifeSted a remarka-
BILE disposition to carry the baby to the Captain,
several times per diem, which gave rise to certain
uncomfortable suspicious. This, however was over
looked at least nothing said of it at the time.
But when the Ariel reached her wharf in New York
on Wednesday morning last tn servant girl. under
the influence of offers Which had been made during
the trip, induced to eope with the colored ste
ward, whose wife was with him, and in the secret
for the purpose of stealing her from bondage; and
the steamer had scarcely reached the pier, when he
and the msled and deceived creature eaped shore
and disappeared Mrs Clarke, according to design.
had made arrangements for going Immediately from
the Ariel to the Roanoke, which sailed the same
evening. But there unexpected difficulty
thrown in her way, nor did the hitherto assduous
and generous Captain show his treacherous face, to
offer her assistance towards the arrest Of the fug
tive, even to procure for her the services of
substitute for her slave, to assist her from
the steamer 10 the shore. She managed, however,
to procure other assistance and having hired white

this city, as above stated, on Saturday morning
After partaking Of breakfast at the Bollingbrook
Hotel she took the eight o'clock train on the South
Side Railroad en- route for her home in Tennessee.
She appeared much detected and worn down with
sorrow. Her heart already made deSolate by DEATH
now freshly torn by the ungrateful conduct of a
cherished servant, through the peridy Of those in
whom she had confded for protection, could scarce
y have borne more, and the baScneSS of the perpe-
traitors of this outrage should be held up to the
and the reproach Of every honorable citizen

FABULOUS WEALTH.-The California mails bring
the most astounding news of the richness of the
Washoe silver mines. Potosi sinks into insignif-
canoe compared with the almost fabulous richness
of Western Utah. The recent assays in San Fran
cisco exhibit the extraordinary yield of $4,000 of
silver and gold to the ton and it is estimated that
the yield of the veins already opened will amount
to 10000 900 for the ensuing year, and no possible
conjecture can cover future developments. 90, 900
Calirornians are patiently awaiting the disappear
ance OF the SHOWS to precptate themselves upon

daughter of Mr. Meredith, who resides near
Ludlow, England, recently met her death from the
following incident: Returning from Ludlow, and
finding her lip chapped from the wind, she applied
some tallow to it which is supposed to have con-
much decomposed. Her lip shortly afterward began
to SWELL and increased every day for week, when
she expired in the greatest agony.
