A CONTEMPORARY has dived into the
statistics of pauperism and crime as
exhibited bv the census report OF 1870,
and finds "That the native white Grim
inals number 1917, or one in TIA,
while the negro criminals number SO56,
or one in COG, showing that there are
proportionately three times as many
criminal blacks as whites. In the
South one white in every 2l09 is a
criminal and one negro in every $50 is
a criminal, and while the negroes in
that section furnish in round numbers
three times az many criminals az the
whites, they also number four times as
many paupers as the whites, though
the whole colered population OF the
South is a million lees than the white.
II, it is urged, that this unfavorable
showing is due to tbs fact that the ne
or, has Just emerged from slavery and
is still denied fair show in the former
slave States, we turn to the North and
fluid the colored man still worse off in
that section. In the Old free States
there are 364.00l negroes, and OF these
i746 are criminals, and 1894 psupers,
or one criminal in every POS and one
psuper in every l40, or four times as
many criminals and FIVE times as many
peupers in proportion among Northern
az there are among Southern negroes ~

The Last EDITORIAL.

Abiding the Issue" was the heading
of the last editorial written by Mr..
Greeley for the New York Tribune, of
which the following is portion. 1t
betrays some OF that bitterness OF phrase
and severity Of judgment that too often
characterized even his most forcble
articles. Under keen sense of disap-
pointment at his own defeat, he felt as
if the nation had refused kindly usage
to the South. 1t is quite evident that
he had no charity for or confidence IN
the trio mentioned at the close of the
quotation. His denunciations were
merciless where his prejudices were
aroused. He said:
The South, we are told, has decided
for Grant by small majority where
fore, those OF the South who were not
for Grant should conform to the jTdg-
ment and set to work to build up their
sections industrial and commercial
prosperity. We heartily second the
motion. Let the South, like the North,
accept the situation. + Il The
South must live; and she cannot live
on sterile agitation. She has appealed
TOR kindlier usage. and it has been
fatty denied her. Now, we are well
assured that the chief victors in our
late struggle are inclined to correct
abuses and satisfy just complaints to
the extent OF their power. We urge
the Just overborne whites of the South
to meet every kindly overture with cor
diality and trust. y \
The late canvass has enlightened the
North with respect to Southern local
rule, its causes and its perils. No one
longer pretends that things are as they
should be at the South, even IN States
like South Carolina, where Republican
rule meets no serious opposition. 1t is
quite generally understood that uni-
versal suffrage is not all that is required;
there must be hearty accord between the
educated and the better class of manual
laborers. Where these vote with the
roughs and pluuderers, from apprehen-
sion OF wrongs from the gentlemen and
land-holders, the present is hopeless.
We have said that the renewed admin
istration must be impelled by it's very
strength, if by no higher consideration
to rour oil upon the wounds OF the
South. 1t has no longer any need of
Moses or Clayton or Spencer it has
only to hint what these must do and it
will be done We shall be sorely dis
appointed if General Grant does not
soon, in his own way, let it be known
at the South that thieves may no longer
hope for immunity from just retribution
by shouting themselves hoarse in his
praise and stigmatizng those opposed
to them as rebels.

ELECTORAL REFORM.

The death Of HORACE GREELEY has
had the effect OF drawing popular at
ter ton 10 the defects OF our electoral
system aud several plans are proposed
Tor the election OF Presidents and Vice
Presidents OF the United States. In
the House Of Representatives last Mon
day a constitutional amendment was
offered by General BANKS providing for
a direct election by the people on the
same day in all the States and that
members OF Congress should be chosen
at the same time, the details Of the
election TO be regulated by local law.
1t provides also that the President and
Vice President shall hold office
for six years and be ineligible to
reelection. Another amendment in re
lation to the same subject was offered
by Mr.. LYNCH, OF Maine. 1t
makes no change in the length OF term
or eligibility OF the President and Vice
President, but merely provides for a
direct popular vote, leaving to the
House OF Representatives the choice OF
the President in case neither of the
candidates before the people receives a
majority Of the votes cast.
r. as seems probable, the central
izing tendency Of Federal affairs is to
continue, we believe that the constitu-
tional amendment proposed by General
BANKS will meet with most approval.
Whether Congress will consent 10 the
adoption OF "the one term principle,
and whether the smaller States will
consent to the diminution Of the power
they have in the Electoral College as at
present constituted, remains to be seen.

THE STATE PeNITENTIaRY.

The seventh annual report OF the
Board OF Directors of the West Vir'
sinia Peuitentiary, at Mourdsville, has
been sent to US from Charleston. 1t Is
in many respects, an interesting docu'
ment and will be carefully read by a
msiority of those into whose hands II
NAV come. The Board recommends
appropriations for the present year
amounting in the aggregate to s69' IT,
to Ofthis $4,000 is for the compile
,,on OF the Warden's house, which is
suffering much damage in its present
unfinished condition; $4,000 is for the
completion of the wall; 7742 &c is for
deficiencies in past appropriations, and
the remainder, $4,000, is for the sup
port Of convicts and the pay Of guards.
There was expended during the past
wear $40, 1SS 43 for the support OF con-
yicts and 81, 7O2.60 for guard hire.
An epidemic in September last caused
the death of six prisoners. The d.
rectors attribute it mainly to bad sup
ply of water and the location Of the
prison. Recommendations for an inn
provemeut in sewerage are made, whose
estimated cost is $4,000
