The Negroes of New York.

The New York Times contains a
long and elaborate article on the
"Dusky Race in New York." from
which we condense the following:
There are about 1900 negroes in
the city, residing chiefly in certain To-
calities where they are packed like sar-
dimes in a box, in ricketty old houses
whese ceilings, floors staircases are be-
grimed with dirt, and where decent
mode of living is almost impossible.
Their numbers have decreased during
the past six years about Is per cent
and those who remain find great diff
Guilty in procuring the necessaries Of
life, for the prejudice against them, on
account of their color, is 80 intense and
universal that it is hard for even the
best among them to obtain employ
ment. They are never hired if white
men can be procured to supply the
wants of the contractors and when
they do succeed in getting work, they
are always paid lower rate, and ex-
pected to do more labor than their
more fortunate rivals.
They cannot rent lodgings In the
same tenements with the whites, mol
are they allowed admittance to hotels,
saloons or bar-rooms, except of the
lowest order. The Theatres close Their
doors against them and even "The
Christian Convention of Ministers of al
Denominations" black ball their color
ed brethren of the pulpit.
They follow as trades-whitewash-
ing, laboring, and waiting: but thiev'
ing and gambling occupy a large pro
portion of the entire number. They
are not doing SO much nowadays il
the way of miscegenation, but indulge
fondly in glorious anticipation of "a
good time coming"

RELEASE OF THE LAST CONFEDERATE
PRISONER. Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle
and Sentinel of the 23i ult. furnishes the
following strange story:
On yesterday there was in this city a
man who claims to be Confederate States
soldier, just returning to his home. His
story, if it be true, is certainly strange
one. He gives his name as w. A. EllprsoB
and says that he was a member of Cobb's
Legion during the war He is young
looking man, apparently twenty-three or
four years old, and has lost buth his right
leg and his right eye. His story is that he
is native of Jackson county in this State,
and that he joined 0obb's Legion soon
after the breaking out OF hostiites. He
served with that command up to the battle
OF Gettysburg, in the summer of 1868,
where he lost his leg and eye and was taken
prisoner From the time of his capture up
to the surrender OF the Confederate armies.
IN 1865. he Was confined in q military
prison at Elmira, New York. Released
when the war terminated, he started home,
but stopping a few days in New York CITY.
he got himself into difficulty which post
pened his visit home for four years
Stumplng along the streets with his wooden
leg one day he was cursed by a negro f,,r a
damned rebel. Johnnies spirit was mol,
completely subdued by his long con6re-
ment, and drawing knife as Quick as
thought. he plunged the blade into the body
OF cutfy and stretched him dead in the
street. OF course he was immedatrly
arrested and iocarcerated for second time.
His trial for murder followed in a few dsys
and james I. Brady, the great New i ork
lawyer, affected by the situation of TIL,
soldier, volunteered in his defence. He
was convicted mansiaughter, but through
the exertions of his counsel and his own
peculiar situation, the court only sentenced
MN Oh to four years Imprisonment in tn,
blackwell Island peniientiary. He served
mere until few days since, when his tim,
expired and he was released. He made hi
way to this place aud was furnished by tn,
Guy authorities yesterday with free trans
poItation to Athens, which is not lar from
nus home ia Jackson county.

The Pacific Rail. DAD.
MAJORITY AND MINORITY REPORTS FROM THE
COMMISSIONERS.

e. i .
The commissioners to examine the
Pacific Railroad hav" made report. They
& ID considerable fault with the details OF
sne location of the Central Pacific Railroad,
he curvatures, the grades, etc. They ex-
press the opinion that "a careful and judici
GUS location of the line would reduce the
length from ten to twenty miles, diminish
tn. sum OF its d-h.ctions by very large
amount, very much improve the character
of the curves, avoid several thousand feet
of ascents and desc nts. and furnish road
which could be operated at ere,tly
diminished cost. 1t would materially re-
auce the time within which trains could
pass over the road in safety. permit an in
crease Of from thirty to fifty per cent, ia the
Dads which engines could haul over the
greater part of the distance, and in every
way enhance the commercial value OF the
road" They remark that this would not
involve heavy cost. They estimate it at
81 ,493 $50 tor 55l miles.
There fifteen tunnels on the road te
of them in solid rock. The remaining 6v.
should be arched with masonry. The
,racklaying, the report says, has generally
been done in a careful manner, hut there is
too little hallastiug The rails are of good

and so constructed as t. carry snow slides

Two of the commissioners dissent from
a portinn Of this report, but say there Is NJ
doubt that by an increased expenditure I,
money better ruad could have been built
in sumo cases on somewhat diffsren
location, but their opinion is that the roae
as built on the present line, after heiti
completed according to the standard pr

further declared that any member of Con-
gress who should support an applicant for
Office for a pecuniary consideration, or in
pursuance of any corrupt agreement or un-
derstanding-or that any Senator or Repre-
sentative who should receive any money or
other valuable consideration from an Office
holder whose appointment he had recon-
mended, should be guilty of misdemeanor
he would have struck at a growing evil, con-
vinoed the people of the sincerity Of his effort
to effect a reform in the abuses connected
with the administration of the Government,
and commended his proposition to the fa-
vorable consideration of the people. But
when he attempts to convert an act of duty
into misdemeanor, it will be difficult for
him to convince the people that his measure
is not absurd as we'll as unjust.
The Senator having undertaken, however,
to regulate the abuses arising out of the in
tercourse between members of Congress and
the Executive Department, and to read lee
ture on Congressional dignity and depart
mental independence--all of which we admit
was much needed-his attention may be
called to one or two additional abuses In this
connection which seem to us worthy his at
tention.
First in order, then, is the practice of men,
bers mixing in the controversies which arise
between the departments and the taxpayer.
prohibited any Senator or Representative in
Congress from acting, ''for any compensation
paid or agreed to be paid, as agent or attorney
in prosecuting any claim against the United
States" The letter of this act, strictly con.
strued, does not, perhaps prevent members
of Congress from acting as claim agents,
provided their compensation is political
support, given or to be given, rather than
"a compensation paid or to be paid" And
possibly it cannot be said to prohibit them
from defending claims which the Govern
ment may make against the citizen. But
it is very clear that the evil which Congress
sought to remedy was the exercise of Con.
gressional influence upon clerks and the sub.
ordinates of departments before whom these
claims were pending. The spirit of this
statute, if not its letter. is habitually violated
Go into the Internel Revenue Department
any morning between the hours of 8 and IL,
and you will see Representatives waiting in
the ante-room to obtain an interview with
the head of the department respecting some
controversy involving money, which has
arisen between a constituent and the Govern
ment In important controversies between
the department and great whisky or tobacco
thieves, you may be sure that in a majority
of cases the thief will either directly or in
directly be represented before the department
by his member of Congress
