THE NEW YORK PRESS.

A correspondent of the Charleston Cou-
rier writing from New York: ''Never
before until now have the New York
papers published knowingly so many lies
as they do to-day, never before have they
worked up" cases to such an extent
simply to make a sensation, as they do
nowadays. They say it pays. So says
the man who sells his obscene books and
is imprisoned for it. But in legitimate
journalism, in recording all the events and
truly and faithfully of the previous day
they have made many steps backward.
And that is what is called progressive
journalism" by men who cannot conceive
that the daily journal is not made for the
inmates of a brOthel but for the intelli-
gent masses, who desire to know the pro-
gress of events, more or less important,
all the world over. Still like in our can
can balls and Opera BOufTe performances
last year, where sufficient rope was given
to the mans gers, they all succeeded
in hanging themselves. To-day a
public ball is at a discount, and
Opera BOuffe performances cannot
be made TO pay. So will it be with
our sensational journalism. 1t has only
lived year. II may so on prospecting
for another year, until some one or two
of the editors will either be punished by
the courts, or shot dead by some father or
brother who is outraged by the words of
levity put in the mouth of his daughter
OF sister That will be a terrible lesson,
but it will come TO that unless those who
now manage two or three of our leading
New York papers haul off their dogs of
war, and cease to consider the whole of
New York society fish for their nets.

WHERE ARE THE NEGROESl

A travelling correspondent of the Ma
con (Ga.) Telegraph asks:
What has become of the negro is q
question often asked. In travelling from
one extreme of the country to the other,
and after much inquiry, l am safe in say
ing that there is not One-thTd of the
planters. in Jefferson county who have
their complement of labOrers. Many are
riding TO and fro in search of hands daily.
The general demand is for two, or three,
or four to make up the deficiency, but on
one plantation there was a demand fol
forty. The larger plantations are gen
orally better supplied than the medium OF
smaller ones. They love to ''huddle" to-
gether in large numbers. From the meagel
Information that / can gather, there will
be at least one-sixth less negroes in the
field this year than were engaged last yeal
within the limits of this county. Where

melancholy feature in the census of 1870.
They are disappearing from our midst,
and no one can account for the fearful
fatality among them. The increase Of
the race is nothing in comparison witt
what it was under the reign of slavery

allowing his colleague on the committee
Beck to offer a substitute, Mr.. Beck
thereupon offered his substitute, declaring
Mississippi entitled to representation with
out preamble or condition.
Mr. Brooks of New York, and another
member of the Committee, said on his
part of the House, they acquiesced in this
measure they did not willingly acquiesce
This case, in their Judgment, differed
essentially from that of Virginia, in that

commander of Mississippi, had used mill

to-day, from Camp Supply, Indian Terri
tory, dated January %, says that Bull
Bear, prominent Chief of the Cheyennes,
came to that post with important news
from several hostile tribes thereabouts.
He states that the Kiowas, Comanches
and Apaches, who are very numerous and
formidable, are making active preparations
for war upon the whites, and had urged
the Cheyennes to join them. No little aP-
prehension was excited among the white
settlers of the Territory who heard this

with the treacherous redskins is in store
