10 The New York Tribune of Aua.
10th says: Death seems to be riding
his pale horse over desert. plain, sea and
city-and we trace his march from Asia
and Africa to ConstantinopIe, thence
through the countries Of the Danube,
and over the mountains to Spain-until
his advance when last heard from, was
encarnped in Manchester, England --
Whether he has time to cross the Allan
tic or not before the frosts come, We can
not say. but Manchester is pot many
days distant, and Death seems to travel
with the swiftness Of morning. We
should not be surprised to see his grim
majesty any day debarking at Castle
Garden and riding up Broadway. We
do not expect the frosts for six or eight
weeks, and he might have busy time
during that period, with time to prepare
for the coming Summer.

lay on Coolies and Portuguese The la
bor obtained from a negro, even in his
disorganized state, was found to be as
three to one, compared to that Of the
Coolie. The Portuguese could not stand
the climate. They were rapidly pros
trated, and they soon went off with lido
pathic fever. For three months Mr.. II.
was obliged to employ an overseer and
doctor to attend daily the hospitals. 1t
was necessary to give them large guam
titles of wine and nourishing food; and
for the course of these three months he
never had less than trenty ill, and SIX
died. His own son frequently acted as
hospital superintendent, and was atten-
tive and sympathizing. The Coolies were
schooner in the field than any others, and
did the least work when there. They

The Legislature and Negro Testimony.
One Of our city Journals in the excess
of his zeal against negro testimony, shows
entire ignorance of the provision of the
act on which he comments and uninten>
tionally, no doubt does gross injustice to
the members Of the House, who voted for
the bill. He states that according to the
law passed white man can prove his
case only by white tetimony, but the mes
gro can use both white and black witness
ses' The bill is not liable to such an ab-
surd and ridiculous construction, and we
hope our neighbor will read it carefully
before penning another diatribe against
the gentlemen who voted for its passage.
According to the fourth section of the
act, as it passed, negroes are competent in
all civil cases between white men and ne
groes, and, of course, can be examined
and summoned for either plaintiff or
tended to cases where white men are both
plaintiff and defendant, because this was
not necessary to protect the rights of the
negro.
THE limitation on negro testimony was
adopted by the House to satisfy the pre-
judices of the party of which our neigh
Dor is the leader, and to diminish oppo-
Eitiou to the section.
Equally unfounded and gratuitous is
the charge that this vote was obtained
through the dictation of Federal officials
We have too much respect for the
Legislature to suppose for moment that
they would sacrifice their convictions Of
duty to crafty officials or dignitaries of
any kind. They came here to legislate
for the welfare of the State and to further
its prosperity. Especially was it their
duty to aid in the work of restoring Mis-
sissippi to the Union, and relieving their
people from military government.
The question of negro testimony in
many counties had not been considered
In the canvass, and members came here
undecided. Many were prejudiced against
1t, but on a full and thorough discussion
changed their minds and supported the
measure from a conviction of its Justice
and propriety. The man who from false
pride of opinion, or for the sake of pan-
dering to al unworthy prejudice, refuses
to change hiSvote when convinced of
his error, is not only dangerous legisla-
tor, but utterly devoid of statesmans hip
or patriotism.

We never heard Of Senator Trimble

gallant state, populated by brave and
noble people, is as little amenable to al.

can be justly urged against her, which
the altered circumstances of the times

that she led the van in the recent terri
