to-day the report of the Committee on For
eign Relations upon the rights Of natural
lied citizens abroad. He refers to the fact
that the treaty between Great Britain and
the United States at the close of the War Of
Independence left unsettled the subjects of
the impressment of seamen and the right
of search, and the question Of expatriation-
the latter the most important Of all.

ARE THE BLACKS DYING Our :-Th'
Houston Telegraph (Texas), commenting OF
the returns from the registration Of voters il
the Southwest, says:
The result will put an end to the opinion
generally prevalent throughout the country
that the negro population has been largely
reduced through the war. In 1850, the
blacks of Louisiana were $50. 1873; which.
estimating that there is one voter to every
FIVE of population, would yield q crop Of
| 70,074 voters. The returns of the registra-
ton Just completed show the negro voters
now to be S2,907, or about $4,000 more than
there would have been in 1860, had negroes
then been entitled to vote. So far, therefore,
from the blacks of louisiana having dimin-
ished during the eventful period of the war,
they must have increased by something like
100000.
1t will be recollected that it was in this
State that heavy decrease Of blacks was
expected to be shown. Even General Banks,
at the close of the war. in an official commu-
nication to the Government, stated that it
had fallen off at least one-tourth.
The same thing is shown by the registra-
ton returns in Alabama, where the negroes
appear to have considerably swelled their
numbers since 1S60.-Ielegraph.
like the whites, rather more than held their
own during the war, in spite of very serious
losses in field and camp, mainly to the lat
ter. Many slaves who ran away from the
plantations to find protection under the Fed
eral flag in New Orleans, Nashville, Mem
phis, Washington, &C., budding in rude
novels which they overcrowded, suffering
every privation and tempted by every vice,
fell sick and died; and their deaths, occur
ring in the most thronged localities, and
confined to particular classes, were mis-
takenly supposed to evidence general NOR
tality of negroes. The blacks probably lost
BY the war fewer in proportion Of their num-
beers than the whites; but the latter gained
at least million by immigration, while the
former gained nothing from that source. We
Judge, therefore, that the blacks of our whole
country were just about one to seven whites,
alike at the beginning and at the close OF the
war. Owing to immigration, we predict that
thew will be less than an eighth in 1870, and
a good deal less in 1900. If immigration
should average 1000 per day throughout, as
it has since the close of the war, the United
States should have one hundred millions Of
inhabitants in 1900, whereof the blacks can
hardly exceed ten millions, and are likely to
fall below that number
In the Southwest nearly every black who
could register has done SO; and, as the ages
Of MANY of them are not accurately known,
we presume some have registered who are
not vet twenty-one. But the old slave
Maryland, Virginia, the
Carolinas, Kentucky, Tennessee. and Mis-
souri-have probably lost blacks to the Gulf
States; so that returns from the latter DO
not fairly indicate their number generally

which has uttered some very broad hints
of its purpose, under certain contingen-
cies, of becoming an open opponent, in
stead of an unkind critic of the Union
party.
We not only disagree with the Tres
pass in preferring the aims and ends OF
Radicalism over the trimming policy of
the Conservatives, but we have an IN
questioning belief that we are with the
majority, and that it is with very
noisy minority, of the Union men OF
Nevada. Not only do we believe this,
but we are very certain that in the
loyal States east of the Rocky Noun
tains, there is majority such as seven
to eight in the Republican party who
sympathize with and act with the
/" Radical Radicals of Congress.
This, we are sure is clearly demons
trable by figures. Moreover, there
might be greater degree of consistency
maintained by the Trespass and the
APPEAL, if the former would support
Grant, whose views upon the powers of
Congress over the suffrage question in
the States are not known, and the latter
should advocate Chase, who is relied
upon, very implicitly, by the 90 Radical
Radicals" to sustain their views con-
corning that matter.
But to address ourself more directly
to the question at issue, we will say
that ia our view of the case, the major
ity of the Chicago Convention will be
men who think and talk about the great
questions of the day just as Stevens,
Wilson, Wade, Drake, Sumner, Howe,
Nye, Stewart and the other radicals
in Congress think and talk. We be-
lieve this; and we hope and trust that
the delegation which Nevada shall send
to the Convention will be fully in accord
with its majority, and not appear there
as an officious, conservative attempt at
the dilution of the earnest and princi |
pie founded intentions of tina: body.
We hope the delegation may go there
to assist in framing a platform, the
chief plank of which shall be The Right,
and then to ask General Grant to stand
upon it. We also hope that there may
be nobody to" get off" from duty in the
Union ranks when the campaign shall |
have begun but that the loyal men of
Nevada, dropping minor differences, ig
noring personal preferences and individ-
1al grievances, may once more rally, as
one man, under the banner of the Union.
