The Negroes.
10 tho Editor ofthe Nc,os

1t was through the courtesy of +,
friend that got tho opportunity O,
reading your comments upon my cal
culations on the decrease of the negro
majority in South Carolina. My i'm
preston is that your statistics of the
negro in slavery are very unsafe
to rely upon, in drawing differences as
to the negro in freedom. My idea is
that the negro needs some decided
personal control in order to save him
from his own Incidence and improyi.
dcnce; and that needing this now in
his freedom ond whilo in contact with
n superior race, he is destined to re-
trograde and in time to die out.
This result will come about through a
variety ofcausos all operating in tho
same direction. Twill montion few
Of these.
lst. Tho greater mortality of ne
groos than of whites. According to
tho last census tho mortality of blacks
is ono in sixty-six and that of Whites.
ono in scventy.six.
"a. The less increase of negroes
shan of whites. According to tho
census of 1860, tho ratio of increase IN
the colorod population of the United
states was % per cent. (among slaves
nearly twice as great as among free
negroes) while tho rate of increase of
tho whites was 81 per cent. Havo
the Kindness to observe that thero was
difference of nearly double in favor
OF tho slave over tho free man. There
arc reasons for this-(l) the young
freedman is not in suoh a hurry to
take upon himself the expense of
family of children, when no can live
quite as comfortable without it (2)
Vico is increased by the new life the
negroes are permitted to load (seo tho
criminal reoords); (s) idleness and
sloth are unfavorablo conditions to
fertility; (4) so is overorowding and
(o) so is underfcoding;o and (6) that
dependency that comes even to Cuf.

talent Of the present Concert Club to
assist, I should think our energetic
friend might undertake any thing.
Tho vostibule Of the Presbyterian
Church wants flashing. The Orphan
Association wants funds. The Episco-
pal Church wants good Melodian or
small Organ. A word to the wise.
Give us Concert every four or five
weeks three good reasons can be
given for tho request. First, 1t givos
lito to the village. Secondly, It orc
ates sociability. Thirdly, it keops
the money so expended at home, for
benevolent purposes.
The littlo dance gotten up by the
club, is quite exhilarating, but ladies

thus excluding visitors, who might

EXECUTION OF A Memo MURDER.

last, Cyrus Coachman, negro, con.
vioted Of the murder Of merchant,
Robert p. Suggs, near Florence, on
the 10th of January last, suffered the
extreme penalty of the law. This
criminal confidently anticipated that
he would be rescued by his brethren
of the Union League, saying, early in
the morning, 81 do moi think, I'll be
hung, as [ belong to league the
members Of which are sworn to pro-
tect each other, and do not believe
they will let me be hung" There
was great excitement among the ne.
groes Of the neighborhood, and fears
were entertained that an effort would

or, but no interference was tempted
The sheriff and most of the officials
who acted on tho. occasion were ne.
groes. The criminal was attended to
the gallows by a guard of seventy
men, all armed with guns and pistols
thirty of whom we're negroes. In his
last speech the criminal denied com.
mitting the murder, and expressed
hopes of better world.--Constitu
