NEGRO VAGABoNDAaE IN New YORK.
The Southern press could do no bet
ter work In behalf of the unfortunate
negroes-the victims of Abolition
ism and elnancipation-than to warn
them of the folly of coming North
to seek livelihood. Whateyer tho
negroes capacity for work in con-
dition of slavery. the sense of
"freedom" makes them lazy and in
dolent and degraded. Here in this
city they are idlers and eyesores.
doing nothing, friendless, and with
out q future. At first, when the
services of ''contraband" seemed to
be sort of providential dispensation
sent to do away with the labor of
Irish servant girls, the negroes were
taken into families in this CITY To
perform the work of the household.
In ninety nine cases out of q hun
dred, they have been found wanting.
and have been turned adrift by their
employers, and are now leading vaga-
bond lives. with no one to direct them
and no one to take interest in their
welfare. Experience has proven that
the industry of one Irish servant pirl
-
Is worth that of dozen negroes, and
IN consequence, the latter, notwith-
standing the loud clamor in their be-
half by interested politicians and
hypocritical people generally, are out
OF employment everywhere, and find
homes, i'll rare cases, where Southern
families, for the sake of old memo
rles, rescue them from their saualor
and give them work for their hands.
The negro's habits of insubordina-
tlon, unless controlled by master,
his insolence, and his general worth
lessness, arising from his cruel gift of
freedom" have made him an
1shmael to-day in the North. And
If any of our Abolition friends would
wish to test this, let them advertise
for the services Of single negro, and
they would receive applications from
II thousand-all of whom, if en-
pioycd, would he turned adrift in
week to resort to their life of vara
bondage, which seems the chief
right which the negro, left to him
self, appears to care to enjoy.

HERkINa's SAFES IN THE I. ATE Potr.

HERRING s SAFES IN THE LATE POkT-
LAND CONFLAGRATIoN.- There is n
moral to be drawn from one of the
incidents of the late disastrous fire in
Portland that should be carefully con-
sidered by those who would avoid q
danger that is all the more insidious,
because we are apt to imagine our
selves secure from it. We refer to the
test that has been applied to the safes
OF different manufacturers that were
exposed to the terrible ordeal of fire
there. The word safe, which is ap-
pllcd to the iron chests or boxes that
are manufactured by all makers, is
only applicable, in reality, to such rs
have successfully stood the test. and
our advertising columns show that
the Herring Safe fairly sustains the
reputation it long ago acquired, of
beng one of the most perfect fire
proofs yet made. After seeing the
reports of the great losses Of valua-
bles contained in other safes, we were
led to inquire why people should be
80 bind to their own interests as to
trust their treasures in such insecure
repositories, when others that had
been proved and tried in hundreds of
fires, could be had, and we were in.
formed that in this, as in many other
matters, people forget the motto.
1.-The best is the cheapest, and that
one cause of the great loss in this in
stance was, that the Portland mer-
chants had purchased safes manufac-
tured IN the East that were cheaper
than Herring could afford to sell his
for. We should as soon trust our
funds to street broker, who might
o1fer large interest, than the more
cautious and well-known neighboring
banker, ms put our vAiaables in an
iron box that will not stand the test
OF fire; and having experienced the
satisfaction of owning one of Her
rings make, we the more cheerfully
recommend them to our friends.

nia$sinents OF Cen. Beaurcgard In
EhfOpe.

Tie following translation from the
Paris correspondent OF the New Or
leans Renaissance, of the 10Th inst.
gives some interesting information in
regard to this distinguished soldier:
General Beauregard has returned
to Paris, but. in few days, he goes
to Vlchey, for the benefit of the
waters. While here the illustrious
Confederate has been the object of a
sympathizing and very fiattering Gu
riosity There are few eminent per
sons, especially among those belong
ing to the army, or connected with
the Government, who have not
sought the honor of seeing and en-
tertaining him. The Emperor has
invited him to visit the camp of Cha
Ions, and General Fave, Governor of
the Polytechnic School, has volun-
teered to guide him through all the
military establishments of the capi-
tai. General Beauregard is asionish-
ed by all he sees here. At Versailles,
the battle pictures, by the great
French masters, made profound
impression on him. Before some of
them he remained more than half an
hour in contemplation. The things
which most interested him, however.
were the artillery museum and the
curious collection at the Hotel des
Invaldes of plans in relief, of the
fortified places of the world.
Tho General has likewise received
from a Government, which I am not
permitted to name. an extremely bril-
liant offer, which, however, he has
declined. He was offered the chief
command of an army of so, 600 men,
salary of 10000 francs per annum,
and donation Of land worth 81, ,OOO,-
600, with the ''grand naturalization"
of himself and his family. The Gen
eral declined, saying that his sword
belonged to his country, and he
would never draw it except for her.
There is one question which is ask
cd him almost every momcnt-''in
case there should be war between Il
European power and the United
States, would the South reyolt?"
The General always replies that he
thinks not, and this answer invariably
seems to cause astonishment-whv,
indeed, | cannot say.

The True Ground.

We see it stated in our exchanges
1i,at the venerable Thomas Ewing,
one of the few surviving statesmen
of the day of great men. has written
a letter for publication, in which he
takes the ground that the Congress
which has adjourned, being COM
posed Of representatives from only
twenty-five States, could not consti-
tutionally pass any Act over the Pre-
sident's veto, and that. therefore, the
Freedmen's Bureau bill, the civil
rights bill and the constitutional
amendment are legal nullities.
This journal has, on several occa-
sions, advanced the same opinion,
and we are glad to know that one of
the ablest and most reliable states
men of the West proposes to publish
his views in relation to this impor-
tant question. It will be remembered
that Mr.. Ewing was a member of the
United States Senate when Clay,
Webster and other towering intellects
were in that body, and was recog-
nized by the great Wing party of that
day as one of their ablest and most
conservative leaders. With his large
experience in public affairs, and at
his time of life, any opinion coming
from him on political questions must
exercise great influence
We hope that the President will
have this matter thoroughly investi-
gated by the Acknowledgement and
the Supreme Court, and if these
measures are illegal, govern himself
accordingly.

The Snvnnts on the Gable.

PARIS, August At the last sit
ting of the French Academy of Sci
cnccs, NJ. Babinct, the well-known
astron omer, delivered an opinion
upon the longevity of Atlantic
telesraphlc communication, rs at
present established, which, l hope,
is peculiar to himself, and will be
long disprovcd by experience. M.
Babnet began by declaring that the
cable would not last long, and that
he hoped that while it did last it
wond be turned to useful account in
one way ut least, and that was, by as
certaining exactly the longitude of
Newfoundland! He then went on to
say the cable of 1856, when ex-
nmlned, was found to have II break
age Mt every five yards by the effect
OF tension; and he thought the same
thing would happen to the present
one, either by tension or corrosion.
The academician next exhibited n
piece of very thick cable which had
lam for five years ut the bottom of
the channel, and which was com
pletcly eaten through by the action
OF salt water. He seemed to. con-
slider, also, that the danger of the
cable being strained was far greater
in the immense depths of the ocean
than in the shallow waters Of the
British channel, in which, as he
quantity said, if yon were to sink the
towers of Notre Dame, they would
still stand high enough for You to

creased to ZIG per month, provided

The Northern Campaign.

The Northern Campaign.
y Our Northern exchanges furnish us
abundant evidence that the conscrva-
tive element throughout the North
and West is fully aroused to the inn
portance of carrying the Congress
sional elections next fall In New
York city, we see call issued for
ratification mass meeting, which is
already signed by thousands, and
among them large number of lead
ing merchants and business men.
But, besides such popular demon
strations, tr4 people have gone to
work to p, ovi,le the sinews of war,
and already $1,000 have been sub
scribed for the purpose of paying the
expenses of circulating documents,
sending speakers into every section of
the North and for other legitimate
expenses of the campaign, and the
Herald thinks that half million can
be raised for the same purpose. The
questions at issue are so momentous,
the prosperity of the country and the
commercial and business interests,
will be so affected by the result of the
political contest, that, the Herald
says, those who have their capital in
vested in that direction, have too
much at stake to stand idly by and
allow the radicals to destroy their
future prospects by forcing on the
country their revolutionary schemes.
In Pennsylvania, even, there are
hopeful signs that the radical faction
may be beaten there, and the tone
and spirit of the conservative press
throughout the West raises the live
iest expectations of success for the
Union party. The Soldiers and Sail
ors' Convention, to meet at Cleve-
land, cannot fail to be productive of
good, and if it be half as numerously
attended as it is predicted it will be,
it will be the precursor of Waterloo
defeat of the radicals throughout the
great West. The journey of the Pre-
sident to Chicago, accompanied by
Gen. Grapt and members of the Ca
binet, will be series of ovations Mt
which, of course, the President and
other distinguished gentlemen will be
expected to speak. On the whole,
within our recollection, no party ever
opened campaign with such fair
prospects of success as does the pre-
sent conservative party of the Union.
