The NEGROES OF RIcHmoND.-This class OF our
population. as general thing, manifest dlsposl,,
tion to prepare themselves for the altered political
condition in which the events OF the past two years
have placed them. The sudden abolition OF
slavery did not, as most persons expected, turn
their heads They have been, in tho main. order
" and we'll behaved. They have not presumed
upon their newly acquired freedom, to commit
breaches OF the peace, or De guilty OF any acts Cal.

races. The utmost good feeling is felt by the
white people Of this city towards the negroes, and
whilst they may be amused at some Of their at
tempts at display on all occasions, whether pro

ness felt for thom. Our best citizens deplore the
,nischieyous influences that have been at work on

since the passage by Congress, Of the bill giving

ing. The further consideration of the Bill was
postponed to the I'd Tuesday in December.
The House then went into Committee on tho
Million Relief Bill. BUTLER offered his amend
ment as a substitute-that all owning 160 acres Of
land, or enjoying an income Of over $500, be taxed
by the General for the support Of the poor. The
Committee rose, after a lcng debate, without &C
ton.

In the Senate on Saturday resolutions we're pre-
sented for the improvement Of the Mississippi

The Election in Germany.

The recent elections for the North German Par
lament show that there is at least population Of
900 900 within the territory Of the new Confedera-
tion who desire above al to have their connection
with Germany severed and to be reunited with
another nationality The Parliament We are inform
ed contains eleven Poles aud two Danes, who, at the
rate Of one Deputy for 10O 900 people, represent an
aggregate population of 1900, 600, Of which the
German minority may be about 100000, leaving
1000 600 of Danes and Poles.
On account Of tho bitter conflict Of the Danish
and German nationalities in the Duchy of schlcs-
wig, the Danes are naturally jubiant at their VIC
tory in two Of the Scheswig districts. In the rst
their candidate received 15025 votes against only
37O2 given 70 his German opponent, while in the
second district the Danes poled 1927 votes, and
the Germans 9610. There has been hitherto .
great difference Of opinion among the Danish and
German writer's as to tho extent Of each nationai-
ty The result Of the recent election clearly estab-
fishes the frontier of the natonaEties, at least as
tar as the preferences Of the people are concerned
The Danes must have seen that the majority OF
the people Of Schewswig really ( refer separation
from Denmark, and tho Germans and the Prussian
Government can have no doubt that the northern
districts Of Schelswg desire incorporation with
Denmark: a partition of the Duchy of Schleswlg
in accordance with the result OF tho universal sut-
fage would forever terminate the nationality con-
Hct between Danes and Germans.

oaths, lest they enact one viii h the President or
the Senate could rot take without choking. In
1860, in the Senate of the United States, Nh Wade
declared, when aluding to the then threatened ac-
ton of the Southern States:
81 am not one of those who would ask them to
continue in such Union. We have adopted the
Old Declaration Of Independence as the basis OF
our political movements, which declares that men,
when their Government ceases to protect their
rights, when it is so subvertod from the true pur-
poses of Government as to opprcss them, have the
right to recur to fundamental principles, and, i
need be, destroy the Government under which
they live, and to erect, on ts ruins another more
conducive to their welfare. hold that they havo
this right whenever they think that this c:ntln-

q MINISTER VIcTDnzED.-We find the following
in the Richmond Enquirer of Friday: minister
Of the North Carolina Methodist Conference was
O victim OF the confidence game, on the cars be-
tween Baltimore and Annapolis Junction, on his re-
cent return from visit to the former city. person
Of gentlemanly appearance, resigning his own seat
to some ladies that came in politely asked to share
that ofthe minister Entering into conversation, he
represented himself as Charleston merchant, on
his way home with his purchases as extra baggage.
Soon after clerkly looking man appeared
with bills Of lading, and demanded pay for the
merchants extra baggage, stating the amount at
a considerable sum. The latter produced note
OF large amount, which the clerk could not change
Then came the old story. Would the clergyman
obGge him by the change? He would return it
az soon as he-could get his money broken. He
thus got seventy-fve dollars-nearly all that the
minister had. Meantime the cars reached An
napoGs Junction, and just aa they moved off again,
the merchant stepped out, and never stepped In
