Negro YagaDondage in New York

The Southern press could do no better
work in behalf Of the unfortunate negroes,
the victims of Aboltionisn and emancipa-
tion-than to warn them Of the folly OF COM
iio North to seek livelihood. Whatever the
negroes capacity for work in condition OF
slavery, the sense OF "fresdom" makes them
lazy and indolent and degraded. Here ill.,
this city they are idlers and eyesores, doing
nothing, iriendess, and without a future. At
irst, when the services of q " contraband"
seemed to be q sort of proyidential dispensa-
ton sent to do away with the labor.of Irish
servant girls, The negroes were taken into
families in this city to perform the work oil
the household. In ninety-nino cases out oil 4
hundred, they have been found wanting, and
have been turned adrift oy their employers,
and arc now leading vagabond lives, within
one to direct them and no one to take inter-
est in their welfare. Experience has proven
that the industry OF one Irish servant girl IS
worth that Of q. dozen negroes, and in copse-
tnlence,- the latter, Notwithstanding the loud
ciamor. in their behalf by interested politt
clans land hypocritical people generally, ave
out of employment everywhere, and lind
homes, in rare cases, where Southern families,
for the. sake Of old memories, rescue them
from their squalor and give them work for
their hands. The negro's habits of. insubog-
dination, unless controlled by a master, his
insolence and his general worthlessncss,
arising from his cruel.giftof freedom" have
made him an Ishmael to-day in the North.
And if any of our Abolition friends would
wish to test this, let them advertise for the
services of sin gle negro, and they would
receive applications from thousand-all Of
whom, if.cmployed,. would be turned adrift
in a. week to resort to their life of vagaboq-
dage, which seems the chief "right" which
the negro, LETT to himself appears to care to
enjoy.-New York News.

MINI n WARD KLEUTroS.

A very animated contest took place In tho
Ninth Ward yesterday, resulting In the e1ec-
ton Of MIR. Woodard, the independent candi-
date for Alderman, BY majority Of six votes
over c. r. Jones, Esq, the regular Rcpabl1-
can nominee. This result Is to be. .attrib-
uted mainly to the zeal Of the Horse Rail
1ond tncn, wko uoskcl like beavers all day for
Mr. Jones, and drove twice MS many votes
ovcr TO Mr.. Woodland as they brought to
their own candidate. Mr. Woodland and Mr.
Jones are both Republicans. Mr. Jones had
the advantage o, the Republican nomination.
Ar. Noodard had the advantage Of mn en-
viable public record In the Common Council,
and By his perseverance and energy in be-
half OF school interests, had render
cd himself popular, moi Only In lis own
Ward but In the city generally. Under
ordinary circumstances Republican nomina-
ton in the Ninth Ward Is equivalent to an
election, and notwithstanding 3Ir. Woodard's
deserved popularity, II would probably have
been 50 in this instance but for the superser-
yiceable zeal OF the Horse Railroad gentry.
These il-omened birds lowered around the
polls all day, working for Mr.. Jones' The
result shows that they can beat Republican
nominee In Republican Ward every time,
BY the simple e1pcdient Of supportin5 him.
Nc were assured by Mr. Jones that be had no
connection Whatever with the Horse Railroad
men, and we 20 stated Ia our issue If ycster-
terday. The operations Of the officers and
employees Of this corporation, at the polls,
contradIcted the statement In the minds of
the voters most edectua1ly-as the returns
show.
