An Outrageous Insult to Oar Oolored
g r.. Soldiers,

| We are Informed by the daily press
that "the Indians of the plains will
not take scalps from the heads of ne.
| gro soldiers killed in battle"
Is not this fragrant violation of
tho spirit of the civil rights bill, of
the new amendments to the Constitu-
tion, and Of the reconstruction policy
of Congress ?
This is the browning insult to our
colored citizens.
| Shall the redskins be allowed thus
to make distinctions on account Of
race or color :
When the colored troops fight
hrayely, may those untaxed Indians
seorh their scalps, as being no trophy
worth the taking off /?
This oontemptuous treatment Of the
black man by tho red man is not to
be borne.
Senator Summer must attend to this.
tie must prepare resolutions.
Hc must illuminate speeches against
the noble red man of the forest, who
when on the path, dares to show q
savage disrespect to wool
He has abolished tho word "white"
in the District of Columbia, lot him
at olish the word "black" on the
plains.
Let him cause it to be enacted that
when the untaxed red skin says
"Ugh, big Indian no scalp niggcr!'
somebody shall shoot him on the spot.
1t is not because of the difficulty Of
taking off the colored mans scalp.
No such thing.
Indians scalp very short-headed
white soldiers.
It is their contempt fer the negro as
an inferior race.
They must be taught better.
Here is missionary work to do.
And a new stipulation should be
made 10 all Indian treaties, that no
distinction of race or color shall be
made with the scalping knife.
The insult is too cutting. Boston

The Negro Majority in South Carolina.

.The Negro Majority in South Carolina.
| To-day there are 100000 more, ne.
graes than whltes in South Carolina,
In ten years the two races will be
equal in numbers. .,~,.
1t is notorious fact that the ne.
gro race does not increase. 40 fast as
the white and we shall assume that
this deficiency of increase by births is
as three to four. Should this assump-
tion appear excessive, we will throw
IN the greater immigration of whites.
The mortuary reports Of 1868 in
Charleston show that out of popula-
of 10000, equally divided between
the two races, there we're 1908 deaths
$40 whites and 8l8 negroes. That
is one white in avery Aftr-one dies ner
annum, and one negro in every twen-
ty.four; which ia less than tao per
cent. of whites and more than four
per cent of negroes, there being co.
600 Of each in the city. Municipal
regulations and public hospitals make
the mortality among the negroes
probably less in the city than it is in
the country; but we reckon it the
same. 1t is about the same with
whites.
Now, there are 700, 900 in this State
of which 100000 are neRroes and
100000 whites. This is the differ
ence, as already stated, is 100000.
Two per cent. (the death ratio of
the whites) of 100000 is 6,Ooo--the
number of whites that die each year
in the State. Four per cent. (the
death rate of the negroes) of 400, 900
is l6,OO0-the number of Degroes that
die each year in the State.
The difference between the negro
dead of each year (l6,O0O) and the
white dead (6,0oo) is just 10000.
That is, .here are 10000 more NO.
gro deaths than white death every
year.
The numerical majority of the ne
groes to-day is 100000. Divide that
number by the annual difference of
decrease (l0,oO0) and the result is
ten. That is to say, it will take ten
years to remove the present majority
and make tho numbers of the two
races equal.
The estimate of 100000 divided as
above, was made for 1866. If the
above calculation is true ct ell, it
will date from that year and 1876 is
the end of tho ten years. For con-
Senienoe and brevity we have spoken
of the majority as being that of to-
day, instead of four years ago..

ENGLAND REFUSES TO RELEASE
HALrINE.-,The State Department b as
received two dispatches from Reverb y
johnson in regard to the course the
English Government Intends to pur-
sue regarding Fehian prisoners. It
will be remembered that the case of
j. G. ualpine and others was submit
ted to President G:qnt tL:ough Judge
Carter, of Cincinl,"'j, acting on be-
half of mass meeting there. The
President at once sent dispatches to
Minister johnson, and directed him
to try to secure the release of The
prisoners. Mr.. johnson immediately
laid the matter before tho English
Government. After considerable de.
lay he received in reply ccmmuni-
cation containing list of about twcn-
ty prisoners whom it did not propose
to release under any circumstances.
Among these were Halpine, Caflerty,
Shaw and Burke. Subsequently Mr..
johnson made a second attempt, and
received a second answer reitcratine
the determination of the English Gov
ernment to make no moro releases Of
Eenians: In closing his dispatch to
MIR. Fish conveying this last informa-
tion, Mr.. johnson expressed the hope
that this sotion would BE reversed at
nossdistant day, and at least part of the
prisoners be released. For the pres
ent, however, the State Department
sees no ground to expect that any of
the Fenian prisoners whose cases have
been under consideration will be set
at liberty Washington dispatch to

Learn to wait-hope's slow fruition;

Constant sunshine, howc'er welcome,

To the scathing tcmpest's power.

The State Board of Equalization
met on Tuesday last in Columbia
The valuations returned from the sew.
eral counties are surprisingly low. In
Orangeburg County, for Instance, the
average value of land was returned
at 81 per acre. The real property of
the city of Charleston is returned at
$l7,0o0,0O0. The average value of
stores and dwellings at this ratio is
$500. The personal property of
Charleston County is assessed at So
100000, manifest absurdity. At
least $l 100000 of city stock is frau
dulently held back by owners. The
merchant stock Of the city is returned
at $2,5O0,000. Is this bare swim
die If not, what is it2 A thorough
reorganization will be ordered.
1t is useless to try to shirk taxation
by known undervaluation falsely
sworn to. The assessments of wears
past are at hand, and comparison with
them gives general indications to the
Board of Equalization, and if the to-
tai is low the rate Of tan on the assess.
ment will be higher. That is all.
In the present cate the total of the
State is $ll5,000,000. The realrvalue
Is not less than $25O,0O0,oOO. ?,
The Board of Equalization raised
the Orangeburg return 800 per cent.
That of Darlington County, on the
other hand, was we'll done and stands
as it is. The valuation for, Charles
ton is raised from $l7,OOO,O0O to
soniething over $2l, 100000. The
State total, as fixed by the Board of
Equalization, is $l65,O0O,00O. On
this low valuation the tax will be
about7 mills on the dollar. At q
fair Valuation it would be less than 5
mills.IS. G. Republican.

brought also au account of most SO.

sault consisted of slap in the face
