citizens are property-owners But the
sudden introduction of vast body OF ig-
norant. destitute negroes revives all the
reasons for making one branch of the Leg
islaturc representatives of property In
States where the negroes are numerous.
Such recurrence to the early policy Of
the Republic would redeem South Carroll
ma. Protection to negro rights would be
just as complete as it is at present, tor
the blacks could always elect the lower
branch of the Legislature, and no law
could be passed abridging their rights
But they could not impose heavy taxes on
property without the consent of its own
ers. They could elect ths Governor; but
if he appointed incapable or dishonest ne
groes to the local Offices, the Senate would
refuse to confirm them. The change VIC
suggest is very simple, but it would be
very efficient for the protection ofproper-
ty; and it would leave an equally efficient
protection for all personal rights in the
hands of the negroes.
This salutary change is practicable if
the administration and the Republican
leaders would support it. Their sway

tions They would lose nothing, and gain
much, by exerting it now in this direc-
ton. They conferred the right Of suff-
rage on the negroes to insure their contin-
ued possession of the Federal government.
Putting the State Senate on the basis Of
property would not interfere with this
purpose. The Presidential electors and
the members of Congress would still be
elected BY the unrestricted negro vote.
In choosing United States senators the
two branches of the Legislature would
probably differ; but the election would
then be made by joint ballot, and the ne
groes would eject their candidate. The
Republican party would therefore retain
ali its present advantages in national pol
itics, and be relieved from the odium of
the hileous condition of affairs in the ne
gro States. We have given the Rcpubi-
can leaders good advice, it is forehem to

A very noticeable exodus Of colored
people is in progress from the eastern Gulf
States, across the Mississippi. The blacks
are making for Texas. The New Orleans
Picayune estimates that since 1870 100000
negroes have gone to that State, and 3Oo,'
600 whites. Itrcgards Texas as the safety
valve of the South, and has no fears that
the negro immigration will exceed tho
white. In Alabama the departure OF the
blacks is consolidating permanent demo-
cratic power. In Mississippi and LoulSl-
ana, where the blacks were more numerous
than the whites in 1870, there is steady
decline in their numb,rs, and tho white
vote will soon be the largest. Georgia
finds it difficult to spare this labor, although
her white laboring population is on the in
crease.

The Siamese Twins in Thfh Land


When | first saw the Siamese Twins,
their strange foreign features and the
few sentences spoken for my entertain
ment in the harsh dialect of their country
made as strong an impression on my
childish fancy as the freak Of nature which
had united them so closely. Yet scarce
ly expected then to visit the place of their
nativity or to converse with their parents
in their own vernacular. When, however,
after the lapse of years, my husband and
myself were setting forth on our Eastern
tour we sought out the Twins in order to
learn something Of their former home and
connections They evinced much emo
ton when told that We should probably
visit their country, and readily gave US
the address Of their parents. When we
asked, "What message shall we take to
them 2" Chang smiled and said something
in a low tone to his brother, at which Eng
shook his head negatively, and then both
spoke out, Chang, saying, "Tell thcm we
are coming home some time" and Eng
adding, ~; hcn we have made money
enough"
The Twins were born some thirty niles
southwest of Bangkok, in little fishing
village that derives its name from the Ma
Klaug (''Great Canal y on which fronts
the single narrow street of low, struggling
houses that compose the town. But while
Chang and Ens were yet in their infancy

RHODY LowRBY,

the widow Of the defunct chief, Henry
Berry Lowery, was among the crowd at
Lumbertown yesterday, attracted there by
tho news of the tragedy. 1t is said that she
seemed actually rejoiced edtolearn thatthela't
of the gang had gone to their long account.
1t is understood that the elovely Rhoda was
wanting to marry again, but that Steve
had threatened to kill her if she did So
There arc many however, who do not be-
lieve that Henry Berry is dead, and it Is
asserted that he has recently been seen in
New York city. Certain it is, that the
simple name of the outlaw chief excites a.
much terror in the classic precincts OF
Scufletown, as did that of Richard Cour
de Leon among the Saracens in Palestine
during the Crusades. The rewards for
killing.Steve Lowrey amount in all to SIX
thousand two hundred dollars, and this
amount will be paid over to the three
young men who killed him.

The colored man was slightly wounded
in the face at the same time, and fell
when Steve did, but quickly recovered
himself, expressing great gratitude that
he was alive. On the dead body OF the
outlaw was found copy Of the weekly
