We learn that dispatches received
in this city state that Messsssrss Stow

convicted of the charge Of being en-
gagged i'll the murder of three United
States soldiers, in Anderson District,
and have been sentenced to be hanged,

Tho Negro In his New Condition.


We learn from the Louisville Cou-
rie,' that the report of the Board Of
Health of that city, at its last meet
ing, states that the ratio Of mortality
among the negroes of that city is
eight per cent. per annum; while that
of the whites is only two per cent.
Tho cause Of this wide difference
is very apparent. The Courier says
that it was not hitherto the case; that
when the negro was slave-when he
had the protection of beneficent mas
ters-when he was comfortably clad
and housed-whcn he was carefully
AMI kindly nursed in sickness-when
his food was abundant and whole
some-there WAS no more healthy
class in the community; but liberty
was thrust upon him-the shackles
were torn from him, to be replaced by
the fetters Of disease and death.
OF the same character is the testi-
mony Of Hon. W. L. Sharkey, Of
Mississippi, formerly Judge, and re-
Gently Provisional Governor Of that
State, before the Reconstruction Com
mittee. BE says there are now in
Mississippi very little over one-half
as many freedmen as there were for
merly slaves. There is no telling, he
says, the mortality that has prevailed
among them. They have died in i'm
mense numbers, and he concludes
his testimony by remarking, "My
expectation concerning them is that
they are destined to extinction, be-
yond doubt"
This is startling evidence, If Judge
Sharkey be correct; but there is no
question but that the new condition
of the former slave is of incalculable
disadvantage to that class in health,
morals and everything else. The
figures in relation to Mississippi are
appalling. The number of slaves in
that State, according to the last cen
sus, was 1876, 600, and hence, accord
ing to Judge Sharkey's estimate,
21S, 900 of these must have perished.
There is food for the 'sso-called"
philanthropists of New England in
these statistics.
