The last number Of the Army ani Navy
Journal has an interesting article emtody-
ing some satisfies that illustrate the com
parative endurance, etlicicncy, anI general
capabilities of white and black troops. 1t
appears from these official statistics that
the former are, in every particular supc-
rior to the latter.
The total lmber oftroops in tie Union
service from April, 1861, to May, 1868,
is set down at ; coo 533 the total number
OF negro troops to July 10, 1868 at but
1856, 03T-givin- the proportion of about.
one negro to fifteen whites. The greatest
number Of negro troops III service at any
one time was IN the uidsulnmer OF 1863,
after the fighting was over, being ..!3,-
1876. Many sof these troops saw no tight
ing at ALL The journal admits that the
neggo troops displayed great aptitude for
drill and discipline. bat contends that the
experience Of the war demonstrated the
IN .rk.d superiority of the white OOPS IN
the power Of resisting the dis, ,ases and
hard>nips in, slcnt TO service, and clalns
that they are 4 much more economical
force thar negro troops. The facts cited
Oh this head arc convincing.
Atthe end OF October. lNb5-aftcr one

troops, - o. had been retained in ser

There were few dcsertuns among them;
they had passed through comparatively
little d-htinG, and the loss is mainly attri-
bltcd to thcr inferior pAWfYHc a Il ccnsc-

The report Of the Medical Department
for the past year shows that the ratio of
deaths among Whit troops 10 that oi' cases
of sickness treated was one to hfry-two.
while among negro troops it was as one to
twenty nine. The proportion of sick, too,

ease where one died of wounds; five white
soldiers diel of disease whore three die, of
wounds, 1t thus appears that the negro

Suppose al. the ncgroc. vote one way
and all the whites the other, the white
majority Of the South would be 900, 600
equal to her present total vote. Thus
she would control her own State lcgisla-
ton. Meanwhile, her influence in the
councils Of the na,ion will be greater than
ever before, because her emancipated
Saves will be counted in the basis Of repre-
sentaton, instead Of as formerly, in the
ratio Of FIVE for three.
But the propriety Of the South making
the proposal lies deeper than any Gems d-rs-
ton Of sectional e1pcdiency. If she must
try the Republican experiment, let her try
it fully and fairly IF she is to share the
future government Of her States with q race
she deems naturally and hopelessly inferi-
or. s~ert the social choas, which seems to
her 50 imminent by utilizing the iptelli-
gre, ard "a rio;ism Of the wives and
daughters Of the South.
The etfcc, upon the North would be t.

protected agaiu-t oppression by possessing
the ballot, would cease to be the prominent
object Of phdan.hroPie interest Northern
IIstrust, disarmed by southern, magnan.-
nifty, would give place to the livellcat sen
timcnts of confidence and regard. The
great political dcsidera'um would be at
tanned. Tie regro question would be for
ever removed from the political arena
National parties woald again crystalline
upon legitimate questions of national inter
est-quc5tions of tariff, finance and foreign
relations. The disastrous conflict between
Federal and State jurisdiction would cease,
North and South, no longer hammer and
anvil, would forge and forgive the past.
Would the Northern Republicans ac-
ccpt such proposition? They could moi
avoid it.
Let, then, Southern Legislatures extenc
suffrage on equal terms 10 'alt the iphab-

The irregular reception Of Baltimore

existed for some weeks, 1T is about

should be hunted up. The fact, that our
missing mail matter from Baltimore sub

WASHINGTON, February 24.-Mr. Coop.
er's minority report Of the "South Caro-
lima murders" says it istrue that Generals
Thomas, Sickles, Woods, and Baird, in
their testimony, state that the State courts
don't administer full and impartial justice
where Union soldiers and freedmen are
litigsnts but in answer to direct questions,
they furnished but one case in Tennessee,
one in Mississippi, at Grenada; and one in
Louisiana, reported; and one in Virginia
the DR.. Watson case. e a"
They all testify explicitly that they find
no fault with the Governors of the respec-
tive States, nor to high official, judges Of
the Supreme Courts, or intelligent citizens.
General Schofeld testifes that negroes ar
raigned for crime are dealt with leniently
rather than harshly. The general feeling
among the respectable citizens of Virginia
is pity for the freedmen. The court takes
strong ground against the unconstitution-
atty of the proposed military govern
ments.
Hale, Sanford, Murphy, and Morris deny
the truth of McKraken's charge that they,
while consuls abroad, never permitted an
opportunity to pass to villify the President.

Why THE RADICALS OBJECT TO THE
RECONSTRUCTION BILL.-The Alexandria
Sirte journal says:
1--WE cannot subscribe to this bill as an
exhaustive or complete remedy for the at
tainmeut of the end proposed, which was
new States on loyal basis. 1t must be
very apparent that the number disfran-
chised by section OF the amendment Is
o very small minority Of the rebel hosts.
!. leaves the vast bulk qualified voting
body, and qualified for Office. The local.
ties will be exceptional where they will not
cutnumber the loyalists, and run the rebel
machine as heretofore. Section of the
bill, as we have before said, in the matter
Of disqualification, is too loose and indis-
criminate TO mean anything. A rebel
election Judge and register would drive q
t4udum team through it with merry whis-
lie at lis frailty.
Again, the bill does not provide, ex-
cept in a military way, for deliyerance
from the abasement of submission 10 ex-
listing rebel oiiice-holders."
