age rates have comparatively decreased in
that population by emigration, and those
where the gain has been greater than the
natural increase have enlarged it by lmm1-
grafton. From the geographical positions
of these respective States it is evident that
the flow of migration has been uniformly
South and partly West. If this continues
as it probably will, the negroes will mon0p
olize Florida and Southwestern Texas, and
as the white population presses on their
heels, and to their exclusion from their
present field of labor, they will eventually
pour into Mexico and Central America.
This pressure of the white race to the dis
placement of the black, will probably eYee
and at least be in proportion to the pre-
ponderance of the former over the latter,
and which in 1870 tby the census of the
above States and Territory, exclusive of
Missouri and Delawars) was 7,7609S8
whites, to 4, 398,0I7 blacks. 1t will be in
creased BY white immigration.
South Carolina would promptly throw off
the preponderance cf her negro population
but for the mass which clings to her sea
shore and rice district. She will eventually
have a white predominancy. Mississippi
and Louisiana will attain this result at an
earlier period The other Southern States
will always maintain white supremacy.

J. G. Stanton, the man of indo3nitabie
energy, and the one who built and put in
operation the Alabama and Chattanooga
railroad and was afterward denied the
privilege of running or controlling it, has
at last, after a great deal of litigation, got
the road back again, and will control it to
suit himselte The Montgomery Journal has
the following to say in regard to the roads
1t seems to be definitely understood that
the Alabama and Chattanooga railroad is
to be placed under the superinteHcy OF j.
G. Stantono The road was built under the
direct management OF Mr.. Staptono Gov.
ernor Lindsay seized the road as soon as it
was inishedo and just as Mr.. Stanton was
arranging to operate it efficiently.
The road is taken away from the Cow
ernor, placed in the hands Of receivers, and
the receivers have restored Mr.. Stanton to
his position as superintendent of the road.
The much abused Stanton has charge of
the road, and the State has lost millions of
dollars. not by anything Mr.. Stanton has
done, but solely By the bad management OF
Governor Lindsay.
Mr. Stanton will now put the road in
good condition, and operate it as it ought
to be OperatedO

shriukage Of Railroad Villages

A correspondent Of the Washington Star
on the Pacific railroad says: Another
thing which strikes Ine strangely is the fact
that none or very few of the villages or set
Elements which sprung up around the rail-
way stations shortly after the road was
opened, have increased in szeo while some
of them have disappeared altogether. 1t is
very likely that most of these had fheir
origin in the building of the road, and in
the brisk little trade which accompanied ito
1t was almost certain, therefore, that after
the cause which brought them into .exiso
tence was removed, the progress of most of
them would ceases but still one would sup
pose that few might get q sufficient start
to secure foothold, and at least maintain
their own, if they did not g0 forward very
rapidly The reverse seems to be the ease,
however. Even Cheyenne, which three
years ago was busting, thriving place.
and which expected to be much more of a
city after the completion Of the railway to
Denver has shriveIed up considerably. and
doubt whether its population is now more
than Swo-thirds what it was them The
same may be said of Laramie a most beaue
tifully located village, and one which gave
promise Of immense size and prosperityo In
fact about the only thing that keeps those
two most important points on the road from
stagnation or drying UP entirely, is the
proximity of Fort Russell to the former,
and Fort Sanders to the latter coupled
with the fact that they are each eating sta.
tons toe trains going both east and vest"

The negro population of Che seacUasf dis
trlcts is more fixed than that in the interior.
1t is very ayerse to removal. The softer
atmosphere, The albuvial and teeming nature
of the soil and the abundance of fish, oys-
tiers, wild fowl and game greatly attract it.
There too, the African race is far less liable
TO the malariOus diseases than the white
and for that reason can indulge their desire
for the gregariOus seclusion and indolent
quiet OF their kind. The negroes along the
Atlantic shore are more ignorant and prim-
tive, less self-rehant and enterprising than
those of the interior They will lose but
little by emigration; but there the natural
increase is less than elsewhere Their
character, habits and food are not liked by
the interior mass of their race, and they
gain little by immigration.
The negro population is in general
stol1dly Indifferent to any system or means
OF improved culture and to manuring or
any mode of restoring land. This, with the
slothtulness and negligence of their work,
renders their labor unsuited to much of the
comparatively exhausted soil OF parts of
the older Southern States, or to the naturally
poor portions of any or all of them. or to
districts where climate requires more
strenuous and skilled tillage. As the newer
States are more s0utherlY and westward
they add new attractions and force to the
flow of that population in their direction.
This largely GounterbaIances the induce
ments of political influence to retain the
negroes in the States where they have at
present the majority and the political con
trOl-as in South Carolina, Mississippi and
Louisiana.
The next following table shows the change
in the gain, and the relation of gain, of the
negro population of the same States for the
decade from 1860 to 1870:

The Rights of Travelling smokevs.

The New York Times thus sensibly re-
marks: A vast deal is written of the rights
Of people who do not smoke, and the way
they are infringed by smokers. While no
one defends the impudent putting of to-
bacco smoke into the faces of men, women
and children, it is nevertheless true that
the smokers, who form a majority Of the
whole population, have some rights of their
owno Yet they are treated by all railway
and steamboat companies as though they
deserved to incur penalty for every cigar
consumed. On the railway the smoking
car is usually the Oldest, dirtiest, and worst
in possession of the company, and it is uni
formly placed next to the engine or baggage
car, so that in the event of collision the
presumably worthless smoker shall have
the first opportunity to be smashed. On
most steamboats,, instead of permitting
men TO smoke on the after deck, they are
banished to the extreme bow, whence their
smoke is evenly distributed over the boat,
while they run the chances of being tram
pied upon by horses and crushed by falling
boxes. No one wishes that smokers should
be permitted to annoy those who do not
smoke, but since at least every other man
is a smoker, why should he not be decently
accommodated

Texas Pacific RnfIrnnd.

From quite lengthy article in the San
Diego Union, the following items relative
to the prospects, plans and progress of the
Texas Pacific railroad are condensed. Col
onel Scott, the energetic president of the
road, met with a committee OF citizens
representing the interests of San Diego,
relative to locating the western terminus
of the road at that point. Colonel Scott
seemed to favor the proposition, and sub
mitted several conditions, the acceptance
of which, he thought, would decide the
company in favor OF San Diego. One of
these is the purchase and clear title to all
the lands and franchises of the San Diego
andsGila railroad and another, the right
of way, one hundred feet in width, through
the city and county of San Diego. Suisse
quently the committee met with Colonel
Scott and notified him of the acceptance of
the terms proposed, and their determine
ton to extend all aid to the enterprise that
lay within their power. In reply to the
committee Colonel Scott made use of the
following language: He would do all he
could to help in the matter. "And now,"
said he, tI'have to say that l will give the
time requested. We shall go on immedi-
ately and develop our lines. That being
done, We shall go forward with this work
Immediately on the Development Of the
line. The work will go forward We
don't want to delay after beginning the
work; that would be cutting our own heads

The problem of living in apartments, and
having therein all the comforts of home.
appears to have been solved in New York
to the satisfaction of quite a large number
of families. A gentleman writing to one of
the New York papers describes hotel
built by Mr.. Slater at the corner of Tenth
street and Fifth avenue. where there is
''exclusiYeness, elegance, a home sense, and
a home atmosphere" Twenty-Five families
inhabit this house. They have their
rooms-parler bedroom and bathroom
by the year, unfinished, and furnish them
to suit their own taste. They have their
own especial table in the dining-room, or
in their own rooms if they prefer it, Each
family is as exclusive and independent as
though living under different roofs. There
is no public parlor in the building; each
family having their own parlor, there is no
necessity for one. There are, however,
small reception rooms on each side of the
hall where persons can call while sending
message or receiving one. Gentlemen
can have their shoes BACKED in the house
for less than five cents, and their clothes
washed for less than the price charged at
public laundries. The writer OF the article
says the appointments of the house are per-
1eet. The ventilation, light, and sanitary
arrangements the best he has ever seen.
IL Is the perfection of home ife-hQme
without the responsibilities of housekeep-
ing, ana all at very reasonable cost.

The rapid increase is, no doubt, attribu-

which have drawn some negroes north

where vegetation is most spontaneous, and
where agriculture will return the largest

Running Through Fire-a Railroad E1.

peFbeHce 1u OFe9OnS
= The Portland tOregon) EUening Bulletin
of August % describes the passage of pas
seDger train, on the evening of August 81 +,
through a burning canyon north of Oak
land, on the Oregon and California railroad.
The fire had entered the canyon and at
tackled the trees on either side of the track
several days before, and the Bulletin says
that at times the flames would leap from
one side of the track to the other, while the
entire canyon appeared more like raging
furnace than the roadbed OF a railroad.
Many of the trees would fall across the
track, and it required the most strenuous
exertion on the part of those employed to
keep the track free. The train entered the
canyon during temporary lull in the fury
of the fire. If the track had been known
to be clear of all distractions, the engineer
could have put his iron horse to its utmost
speed, and dashiQg forward, gotten through
in few minutes; but the very fact that
trees were falling every minute rendered it
necessary for him to go slow and proceed
with caution. He pushed into the fiery fur
mace, and had barely entered the canyon
when the flames, famed by breeze, com
menced to quicken and closed up behind
him. Slowly the train moved along, while
the angry flames followed fast and furiouss
until at last the outcome was reached and
all danger past. Twenty minutes later the
entire canyon was one sheet of flame, and
