1His,universal pdisinblihation to marry
and take upon himself the cares of a
family is apparent in every Southern
State. The fearful mortality That lis
deeimatihg ;bis race has already attracted
the attention Of thinking men, and is
ominous of its, early, extinction. This
loss cannot be supplied to the negro, for
he has no ste6h of immigrants. ON, which
to rely ifoE ,replenishipgIits - Besides. the
negro women have learned from the New
England scho ool-marns ani effectuaI way
OF escaping the p6inst OF maternity, and
according to most authentio aceounts
they, are not slow to profit by the lesson.
The Eati9 Of mortality among the negroes
may be learned from an official report Of
deaths in the city'6f Charleston for the
year 1858. The population of That. city
is about! 900, equally divided between
l,2Os persons, who died last year, S2S
thirds). will hold good for the whole
Southern country. In fact, from NOR
tality alone, leaving out the increase of
the whites by birth, and immigration
from the North and from Europe, az
the failure to increase on the part of the
negroes-an equality of the two races
will be brought about in South Carolina
in decade of years. The vote of the
State is'now about 400, 1000, Of which ag-
gregate the negro vote is about 90, 900,
giving that race majority Of 10000.
But of late the blacks have crowded the
aeaboafd, leaving the upper and midland
Counties, already in the hands of the
whites. It is not, indeed. improbable
that. in 1870, the whites will have q ma
jofity in the State Senate, Which Consists
of one member from eachrC County. 1.-The
aggregation of the negroes on the sea-
board will only add to their mortality;

Gains article is addressed to the City
Council, and concludes as follows:
All honest men are now at loss to un-
derstand certain actions relative to the
schism in the ranks of your body. Had
you been divided into two parties, the
people ,wonld haye readily understood
your relationships, Had there been
Democrats composing the Council, men
could have solved this my stery. But
when it is remembered that the contend.
ing parties, are all ..Republicans-wilen it
is remembeted that you were engaged in
contending for six months to reach the
place where yon are now doing SO much
mischief, both to the party nnd to every
citizen. it reflects the greatest dishonor
on w.. Men are now beginning to be-
lieve that you have falsified yoiir profess
sions and betrayed The trust reposed in
you, Men, by hnhdreds, who formerly
would have trusted you with their ali,
will now direct their blows against you,
as If you were q, cursed serpent. The
persistency with which you have kept up
this war after iplunder, has entitled you
to the name 81 the '..'Rump." Men now
walk the streets in dread silence With one
hand on their purses and the other ON
pistols. Your examples in the Council
Chamber, has emboidened the midnight
pad and the citizens to go armed with
impnnity- having the living examples of
their city tfstepfathers." You should at
once resign, and let the people chose
those who viii adhere to principles OF
equal Justice. BY your action, already
wall is going up from the novel of the
poor; already, the grim monster death
has entered the door Of many who have
been deprived Of honest labor by and
through, your non action for the general
welfare. II, therefore, you would re.
serve theremainder OF respect, which the
community have for you, relinquish this
Improbable work Of quarreling, and re-
tire to Cuba, or Texas, or Central Amer
leo, or to Hades-anywhere SO this city is
at rest. ''Let us have peace"
Another radical view of the matter is
contained in the following paragraph:
The only possible line Of arrangement
is now clearly indicated. The Mayor de.
clares himself ready to make any sacrifice
of personal feeling, and to give assurance
OF q fair distribution of patronage among
his friends and his opponents elike,
within the lines Of the Republican party.
Further than this he says that his own
self respect, and the Difference due the
feelings Of those who have stood by him,
will not permit him to go. And, prelimi-
nary to any mutual arrangement, he in
sists on the withdrawal Of all obnoxious
legislation. The Mayor is thoroughly
convinced that he is right. he has taken
his position deliberately, and will hold it.

Judicial Independence and Dignity.

In the Court of General Sessions yesterday
City Judge Bedford sentenced John Howard, a
sailor, who was jointly indicted with Thomas
Brennan and William Marley, alias ''Reddy
the Blacksmith" for participation in the rob-
berry perpetrated in the liquor saloon of Var
ley, in Chatham square, some time since.
Brennan has been sent TO the State Prison
for term of fifteen years, but Varley, as IL
known, has not been made amenable to
the law. Strict but discriminating in his
administration Of justice Judge Bed
ford drew carefully marked line of
distinction between the case of Howard and
that of Brennan-the one seaman in drink
ing frolic, and the other an ex-convict, and, as
described by the District Attorney, "a notori-
Gus thief and the associate Of cutthroats"-
in consequence ordered Howard to the State
prison for term Of five years, the lowest
known to the statute in such a case. at the
same time reviewing his case fully, giving him
some excellent advice and announcing that be
would himself intercede with the Gov
ernor for his pardon. The Assistant
District Attorney supported the Court. For
such action the radical press of New York
assals Judge Bedford with its usual bray
mouthed violence, attributing political motives
and considerations, and criticising his decision
like party hacks who acknowledge no law.

Our Three Ex.Presidents on Matters and
Things Political.

Through a HERALD commissioner, in each
case, the opinions at the present day ON our
political affairs of ex-Presdent Fillmore, ex-
President Pierce and ex-President johnson
have been made known to the world. Mr..
Fillmore, almost unknown to the public, has
quietly passed from the glittering generalities
of Know Nothingism to the thirty mine articles
OF the democratic creed, and he may probably
turn up next time as the most available demo-
cratic candidate for Governor of New York.
We can't tell. We don't know what may hap
pen in these days from one day to another in
the ups and downs and ms and outs of our
fluctuating politicians and shifting political
parties. We are sorry to learn, however, that
Mr.. Fillmore thinks there is ''danger that the
government will become an oligarchy Of polti :
clans" Anything but that, If you love us !;
anything but az oligarchy of politicians, though
we are not sure that the government has ever
been anything else.
Ex-Presdent Pierce has become demo-
cratic philosopher. Having nothing any longer
to do in the business of party politics he has but
little to say. He has settled down into

The Tehunntepec Railroad.

The growth of the commercial interests on
our Pacific shore, stimulated as it is by the
opening of the Pacific Railroad, is awakening
attention everywhere to the need of increased
facilities for transit and the carriage of goods
across the isthmus. Besides the canal project
across the Darien route French capitalists are
pushing the Nicaragua Canal question, English
interests are stimulating the construction of
the Honduras Railroad, and American capital
lists have turned their attention to the Tehuan-
tepec route. Valuable concessions have re-
Gently been added by the Mexican Congress
to the original grant for the Tehuantepec Rail-
road, and we learn that the operations of the
company will soon be pushed with activity.
This route is the nearest of all the isthmus
routes to our own territory, and, therefore,
merits attentive consideration at our hands.
The eastern terminus lies in the Gulf of Mex
leo, within easy sail of our shores, and there is
no reason why goods from New York should
not be placed, by the Tehuantepec route, in
seven days on the shore of the Pacific. All
that we need to enable our city to attain it's
due share in the rising commerce of that great
ocean is an increase of the facilities of access.
Let the Tehuantepec Railroad be built at once.
1t cannot be opened a day too soon.

lucky resolutions of '98 and 80. And one is

please with him in the petty party squabbes
Of the hour. We are glad to report that he
does not despair of the republic, and has
nothing to say against either of his successors
in the White HOuse-Buchanan, Lincoln, john
son or Grant. A philosopher and courteous
and amiabe gentleman is ex-President Pierce
Ex-President Johnson is sorrel horse Of
and he has not yet had his satisfaction out of
the radicals, or Congress or General Grant.
And so he has given us his opinion Of General
Grant without mincing or wincing. We say,
as Tennessee doctor once said to patient,
"You have been very sick, my friend; but
now, with oil that villanous bile off your
stomach, you are sure to feel better" We
regret none the less the opinion of Mr.. john
son that we are drifting to an imperial despot-
ism, which, though not quite so contemplate,
is almost as bad as Mr.. Fillmores ''olgarchy
of politicians" Our ex-Presidents who still
live are three, thank God-Fillmore, Pierce
and Johnson. We have certain liking for
Fillmore; we cannot help but admire certain
of man, we haze special weakness for Andy
johnson. There are nine stout men in that
one chunky tailor.

PROPOSED ASSASSINATION OF THE CUBAN
MNIsTER.-One of the city morning papers
has a special from Washington to the effect
that the Spanish volunteers in Havana pro-
pose to open subscription to pay for the
assassination of Senior Morales Lemus, the
envoy of President Cespedes in the United
States. The idea is good one on the part of
the volunteers If it is their wish to help Cess
pedes and the Cuban cause; but we hardly
think that was their intention. We suggest to
them that they can do great deal better with
their money by offering reward for the cap
ture of the Cuban ENJOYS papers. Some of
our smart detectives could soon put up such
job and make good showing for the Spanish
gold.

except it coincide with their rule of fanatic
organization. Like the tyrant Procrustes the
radicals would fit every man to their bed OF
torture, innocent or guilty, tall or short,
and thus again assail the constitution by
striking at its grand safeguard, the indepen-
dence of the judiciary. Their rebuke is to be
found in English history, in the case of Chief
Justice Gascoigne in committing 'Prince
Hal" to jail, and the words Of Lord Chancellor
Denman to the partisans of the Irish bench -
IF such practices are continued the trial by
jury will become a deusion, mockery and
snare Prince Hal reformed. So may
the radicals under the lessons of the fearless
Judge Bedford.
