Negro Soldiers.

has the following on General HuNrER's expert
ment Of organizing a negro brigade:
The first experiment in srming the pegroes
has proved p failure General Hunter has FINAL
ly disbanded his negro regiment. probably by
orders from Washington. l. seems, however,
that apart from governmental interference there
were agencies at work which would have rem
dered sbOrtive this well-meant, but i'll Judged,
experiment of General Hunter. The negroes
themselves did not relish the prospect of fight

that the eight hundred or ginalIy enrolled dwind.
led down TO four hundred and fifty at the time
they we're disbanded, The white soldier also
contributed to demoralize the command By the
uDfriendly feeling they manifested toward their
would-be companions in arms. All this might
have been foreseeD, but itIis doubt ull " heiber
the lesson it teaches will be needed by the peo-
pie who are embarked in this negro arming

OF the same kind before the war is over, in
which the same results will follow as u matter

dition Of England
We are actually spending more than our in
come; we have used up every extraordinary re-
source, every additional windfall; we have 70
duced our balances at the national bankers; we
have increased our debt in time Of peace; in
one word, NO "are drifting into state Of chronic
deficit" We are in financial straits; We are
enduring cruel pressure Of taxation, made un.
necessarily painful by proRigate fnsncier,
whose policy 1t has been to subordinate the pub.
lie interest to the greed of clique and the con-
venience Of Cabinet. And all this while our
revenue has lost lie much bOssted recuperative
power. Receipts are waning, trade Is falling
OF, the country suffers from deep and wide
spread commercial distress. II, under such cir.
cumstances, an extravagsnt expenditure is still
to go on in conjunction with rotten and ruin
ous financial policy, much more than the repu-
tation of minister already self discredited
much more than the stability OF a government
already tottering, will be jeopardlzed.
