The above table will show where
mulattoism most prevails We say to
our friends, when an Abolitionist
charges mulattoism upon the South
ern people, show them this. Point
them to the fact that in the loyal
States Of Indiana, Iowa, Illinois and
Michigan, two out Of every three Of
the negro population are mulattoes-
modern Black Republicans; while in
the States of South Carolina, Georgia
and Mississippi, where the opportuni-
ties for raising this kind Of population
is ten-fold, there is but one mongrel
to be found out of every twenty genu-
inc necroes. The census oflS60, taken
and compiled by Abolitionists, proves
this fact conclusively; and that Of
1870 will prove it more so-unless tho
negro bureau is continued in the
Southern States Tor an indefinite pc.
riod. Should the Northern agents OF
this concern be allowed to associate
with Lincoln's "pet lambs until 1870,
the mulatto scalc in the South may be
brought up to that Of loyal Iowa
or Massachusetts, at all events.

CAUGHT IN THE Acr.-Dan Rice has
written letter detailing bis observa-
tions during an extended tour in the
Southern States He says the South
crn people are sadly misrepresented,
principally by a class Of fellows noted
in the following paragraphs:
"Ihere is set of traders in some
districts who swindle the poor negroes
shamefully by selling them bogus Jew
elry and gewgaws at most exorbitant
prices. In some instances these per-
sons write for the northern papers,
and il is for their interest to have the
Sonth dominated by military force,
they will, Of course, paint horrible pic
lures Of the subdued rebels
"ln one instance that came to my
knowledge, traderhad sold a breast
pin to negro for five dollars which
was madein Waterbury, Connecticut,
for sirieeA cents, and this man was the
correspondent Of the Chicago Tribune.
a leading Radical paperin the North. A"
We willingly credit this, because a
fellow who is mean enough to cores
pond with Radical organ, is Just
about rascal enough to swindle a dar.
key. Turning around TO the other
standpoint, the fellow who would
swindle a poor negro couldn't be any,
thing else than a "loyal" correspond

TEMPERANCE IL MASSACHUSETTS, -
The Joint special committee upon the

quors, so as to grant licenses under

meeting in Boston on Tuesday. Hon.

for license law, made the opening
argument lie said:
"Ihe intesests OF temperance and
the welfare of the community require
a license law, and proceeded at some
length 10 prove this, in a historical
sketch Of the regulation Of the sale of
liquor from early Colonial times down
to the present day. In regard to the

principle in mems minds to secure ab.

that criminal laws could not be en-.
forced except so far as they reflect
public opinion, and that it is the moral
principle Of the people pressing upon
municipalities and courts and iuries
that make law effective

Judge Ludlow, in addressing the
jury at the opening Of the February
term OF Quarter Sessions, in Phila-
delphia, referred to an increase in
the business of the court during the
past few months. lie said "A most
fearful, determined struggle between
right and wrong, virtue aud vice, law
and crime, is now going on, and unless
the strong arm of the law is exercised
promptly, all that is good will be swept
from the land" lie referred to the
fact, that, for the first time in its his
tory, the Eastern pcnitentiary is so
crowded that il has become necessary
TO place two prisoners in some of the
cells; and the saddest fact of all is,
that over two-thirds of the inmates
are under twenty i've years Of age.
This may be attributed TO a want OF
proper training Of our young men
and TO the destruction of the appren-
tice system. Neither parental disci-
pline nor the firm hand of master
restrain the young of either sex. This
is truly deplorblo picture of the
moral advancement and success OF
Puritanism. The great controlling
