Numerical Strength OF the White and
Black Population.


LIST OF COUNTIES IN THE SOUTHERN STATES IN
WHICH THE BLACKS EXCEED THE WHITES, ETC.
The accompanying tables prepared from the Of
1860, will enable readers to judge of the effect
socially and politically upon the South in the event of
the right Of elective franchise being given the negro
without any restrictions The tables give only those
counties in which the shows the blacks
numerous than the whites. There many other
ties in which the two very nearly equal but
with slight preponderance Of whites the blacks
In the counties blacks will be able
elect negroes TO the Legislature and in three Of the
Carolina-they will have sufficient strength to
troll the Legislature and send negroes to the
United States Senate This brings the question
OF universal negro suffrage up in new aspect,
and forces upon tho consideration Of the public
that important subject in q social point OF view In
view Of these figures the Summers, Wilson's and Chand
les will be brought face to face with the admission Of and
the association WITH negroes their equals in the United
States Senate. It may be SAID the other hand that
the mortality among the blacks has been great since
the commencement of the rebellion that their number
has been materially reduced and that this preponderance
Of the does not exist. 1t must, however, BIO
borne mind that the white population has suffered
great loss by the accidents OF and disease In the
Southern army-a loss which comes directly from the
voting portion Of the whites In addition to this, large
class excluded from the right OF voting by the excep
ton OF President Johnsons amnesty proclamation This
would give the blacks still greater prepOnderance over
the whites and enable them TO control the Legislatures
of three four States in addition to those which
the census returns place in their bands had they the
right Of universal suffrage.
