CONDITION OF THE NEGRO IN NEW YORK.
The Tribune says: To-day black man is
not allowed license to drive his own horse
and cart and work for such as choose to en-
ploy him, right here in New York He has
had hard struggle for the right to ride in
our city horse cars, paying his fare like other
people, and has barely secured it, if it be Sc
cured, after years of insult and outrage. If a
black builder were this day to take "a contract
to erect a house or store for some one who
choose to employ him, and should employ
black carpenters and masons on tue job, we
believe they would be stoned off of it before
the weeks end. 1t is not long since hun
bred black women and children barely escaped
with (heir lives from the tobacco warehouse,
wherein they were earning living by their
honest labor, until Irish Democracy saw fit to
hunt or burn them out. It little more than
two years since black men, women, girls and
boys, were hunted through our city's streets
as though they had been mad dogs, though
they were not even suspected of anything but
their color-several OF them subjected to a
death of torture many more to the most hor-
rible outrages and indignit;es an orphan
asylum, filled with black children was burned
entirely to the ground, while Irish women stole
and carried off the orphans garments to clothe
their own children"

DOWNFALL OF THE WATERFALLs.-The
famous couture de Niagara, which broke loose
in such sluice of popularity few months
ago, and has kept cataract in the eyes of
everybody that looked at woman, has play
ed out. The latest Partisan style extinguishes
it for at least the usual period Of fashionable
rotation. We are to have now modification
of the Pompadour style, with encirculing puffs
and Greacian braids, trimmed with white ro-
ses, oak leaves, and clusters of moss. The
greatest success in this new order of things is
the Mperairice de Russo, in which there are
three braid; of three ply each, entwined at the
back of the head, surmounted by an aureola,
such as is seen around the head of tho madon-
mas The front of the hair is combed back in
the Pompadour style, and what is known as
F"spit curls," are pendant in the region of the
auricular organs. The effect is very pleasing
Day by day the fashions and styles Of hair
dressing are becoming amplifed, and after the
exhaustion of the thousand fantastic modes,
from Maintenon to Madame Stael, the natural
bent of the century is to the couture Greegue
or chaste and serene beauty of the Greeks, in
which Sappho, Aspasia and Phryne shone,
and which were :mmortalized in marbles of
Praxiteles and his disciples. Seah.

MISCELLANEOUS.
A sacred DUTY.

There is, in our judgment, one solemn and
sacred duty, which, we believe, is incumbent
on the Legislature of Virginia soon to assem-
Bile. 1t is, to declare the will of the people
that the manned and wounded and helpless
among her sons, whose prospects in life have
been blasted by a devotion of their persons 10
her service in the field, shall be sacred charge
upon their affeetionate care and bounty. This
question ought not to be embarrassed by any
consideration touching the Justice, legality or
constitutlonality OF the cause in which these
brave and chivalrouS soldiers have suffered.
Ii the late war was wrong, the State never
thelesS put them into that war. The State
called them to arms. For the State thousands
upon top OF thousands now sleep bencatlrthe
sod Of hundred battle fields Their homes
are mingled with the dust OF Georgia. the
Carolinas, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi
and every State where they were called upon
to uphold and defend the standard which Vir-
ginia placed in their hands. Shall the sur
vivors, with shattered health and armless
sleeves, who offered their lives at the call of
Virginia, be suffered to pine in want and neg
lect? The United States takes care of her
manned heroes-but the United States cali
not, perhaps, provide for technical rebels"
against her authority. This duty then de-
wolves upon the Old Dominion, and there is
not brave and true an from the Penobscott
to the Rio Grande, whatever his views about
the rebellion" who will not applaud the act
of noble justice by which Virginia shall pro-
vide for her manned and Scared sons.
We hope that Gov. Peirpoint, who has de-
meaned himself SO well and wisely in his high
office, will see his duty clear in giving this
suggestion the influence and endorsement of
his earnest and energetic recommendation
For such recommendation would eInbalm
him in the memories of thousands of as brave
and noble men as ever labored and suffered in
any cause-Richnaond Wig

A Shocking Tragedy-A Sheriff and
his Aid Killed

The Grand Jury of the county Of Cedar
having found an Indictment for murder against
two men named Stow and Earnest, Il capiag
was placed in the hands of Captain John Payn-
ter, sheriff of the county to arrest them. The
sheriff having summoned six men 10 as
sist him in making the arrest, proceeded
about twelve miles from Stockton, on the Os-
ceola road, where they came to the house in
which stow was. The sheriff and two of his
his assistants entered the house and found
Stow in bed he then went to the foot Of the
bed and, laying his hands on Stow, said II
am the sheriff of Cedar county; you are my
prisoner" At that instant Stow fired, the
ball entering Captain Payntsr's heart, killing
him instantly. Lieutenant Harvel, one of the
men summoned to assist Paynter, was stand-
ing at his back, when Stow fired second
time, killing Harvel. Mr.. Noble, another of
the aids who wasin the room at the time, fred
three times at Stow, but without effect.
party of men, supposed to be friends of
Stow, were seen approachingthe house, which
had been guarded outside by the remainder of
the aids; but owing to the excitement occa-
stoned by the killing of the sheriff and Lieuten-
ant Harvel, Stow made his escape about an
hour afterward, the house containing some
two or three doorways @
q Captain Paynter was an active business
man, and was much esteemed by his fellow
citizens. He formerly belonged to the 9th

CONDITION OF THE LEvEEs.-We publish
a highly important report on the subject of
the Louisiana levees, addressed by Mr.. j. W.
Burke, Engineer, to Gov. Wells, under whose
instructions Mr. Burke made an examination
of all the levees between this city and the
State lines of Arkansas and Mississippi. All
the necessary details are given as to the To-
cality, extent and cost of the new levees re-
quired. The cost of the total amount of work
indicated to complete levee system is esti-
mated at $685., 129. Our commercial COM
munity may well feel concerned when Mr..
Burke remarks that if the levees are not re-
constructed this season another oserhow may
make the evil almost irreparable.-N 0.

A FRIENDLY OPERA gentleman, whom
we will designate as Mr.. P, formerly owned
a negro man, who attended him faithfully du-
ring the war, followed him through the Penn
sylvania campaign, and continued to discharge
his duties until some three days previous to
the evacuation, when he was cut off by the
Union troops, and they became separated.
The negro, however, soon made his way to
Richmond, where. having become freedman,
he established himself in the mercantile line.
A short time ago. hearing that his former
master was out of business, he sent him word
that if he would come to Richmond he would
give him situation in his store Mr. P. did
not find it necessary to accept the offer, but
he tells the story with a good deal of humor

A MEcHANIcAN-Appold, the English me-
chanican, who died recently at Clifton, was so
much in favor of labor saving, that every
thing about his house that could be made so
was automatic. The doors opened as You APP
preached them, and closed after you had en-
tered; water came unbidden into the basins
when the gas was lighted the shutters closed;
a self-acting thermometer prevented the tenn
perature rising or falling above or below GER
tain fixed points, and the air supplied for ven
tilation was both washed to cool and screened
to cleanse it from blacks. Even the gates of
his stable-yard opened of themselves as he
irove through, and closed without slanming
Mr.. Appold was dresser of furs by secret
process, which he practiced successfully for
many years, and which secured him practi-
cal monopoly of the trade, and he always
maintained that his was far more ef1ectual
way Of working an invention than any
