TIE BLACK VOTE NEEDED FOR THE BE.
PUHLICS SAKE,

NE. Charles NOrdhOh, who has been writing
letters from the South to the New York Herald.
bears this important testimony in his last letter
from Alabama
''No thoughtful man can examine the history
of the last ten years in the South, ~ he may
hear It on the spot aud from all sides, without
being convinced that it Was absolutely necessary
to the security Of the blacks and tbs permanent
peAcs Of the Southern communities " give the
negro, ignorant, poor and helpless 81 he was,
every political right and privilege which any
other citizen enjoys. That he should vote and
that be should be capable of holding office was

ally secure, and, what ia OF more Importance, to
convert him from freedman into free man. 1
will add that in this view many Southern Demo-
Gratis concur. II the North had not given the
negroes suffrage it would have had to hold our
States under All exclusively military government
for ten years. said such man to me-"
We say important testimony, because the
writer, though Republican during the war, and
one who probably approved the. admission OF
colored men to their voting rights, is Of critl-
cal and investigating temper, and in later years
had boon questioning, il not condemning, the
policy Of Reconstruction. That policy had just
one governing festure-to strengthen, amongst
the Southern people, the elements friendly to
the Union. The blacks wero universally OF this
class. Their character, situation, and interests
made them the trustworthy supporters of the Re-
public and its foundation principles. Their sd-
mission to tho ballot, like the presence of an
opposing chemical element, dffused through
the whole Southern political fabric force that
nsgatiyed all revival of Dsunion. Without that
the South, in year after the surrender at APP
pomattox, would have had united and impene-
trable front, controlled in the interest of the
same theories on which Calhoun, Yancey, and
Davis led their people up to armed rebellion.
The colored vote, so strong as to be almost con-
trolling, leayened this mass and neutralized its
disloyalty. Mr.. NordhoiI, by personal
observation, may see it for the first
time or may just freshly notice it,
but the fact ia not new to thousands OF Repub-
licans that negro suffrage was the medicine tina,
worked cure OF the Southern malsdy and was
- valuable to tho Republic it WAS Just to the
oolored men themselves. Not to have conferred
1t would have been the sheerest blindness, and
the statesmen who took the step only marched
where common sense pointed the way.

Several very interesting matters affecting the
fruit interest-and consequently the whole in
forests Of the Peninsula-are reported in our
letters from Mddetown. The project Of re-
frigerator house is very important; II fruit can
be kept, at moderate expense, and put into mar
ket ut the option Of the owner, it will make
great revolution in peach growing, and ultimate
ly add millions Of dollars to the annual receipts
OF the Peninsula. We agree, too, with the
resolution passed, yesterday, asking the at
tention of railroads and shipping men to the
immense Importance OF these fruit crops
Of the Peninsula. They are worth carrying by
the very best, swiftest, and most systematic
methods, and il the trAnsporters will unite with
the growers, not only eight millions of baskets
Of peaches, but eighteen millions, can be raised
and marketed in . single season.

The Wilmington COMMERCIAL expresses the
opinion that the whipping post has lost it's ter
rors for criminals. That is hardly probable.
II at the last hogging there was larger number
OF victims than at any former period, what
would have been the number had the post been
abolished2 Besides what is the use OF putting
rogues in the New Castle jail, when the old con-

Star.
The opinion sscribed TO the COMMERCIAL IL not
exactly what we have expressed. Indeed, We
have not recently given any. opinions on tho sub
ject. But We did state the facts that the num-
Der Of persons whipped was increased at the
last session Of court, that the presiding Judge
lamented a "searful increase of crime" that
several persons at each whipping are those who
have been whipped before, and that. on the re-
cent occasions, more white persons we're whipped
than colored. These are simply facts bearing
on the case ; in our judgment, they point to Ger
tain conclusions, but We only submit them
and leave each reader to form his own judg-
ment.
As for our county jail, the Star has . very
wrong idea OF 1t. 1t is a good prison. well ar
ranged, we'll built, and suitable for purposes Of
confinement. 1t 10 continually overcrowded by
Migrants aud others, but il these were excluded,
or il, under any other arrangement, it could be
used for convicts only, there ought to be NO es-
capes. We believe that every recent case OF es-
cape has been due to negligence on the part
Of keepers, aud ought never 10 have occurred.
The recent attempt At bank robbery, at Barre,
Vermont, was q dead failure, simply because
the lock OF the vault was OF tho "chronometer'

the most noted female gambler in
Europe, has just died in Paris, She
married Count Kisseleff, who was II
Russian general and diplomat Of
high Distinction but the twain
proved incompatible, and separated,
never more to rcjoin She went once
to visit Pope Plus the Ninth The
holy father had heard of her liking
for play, and reproached her She
repented for the moment, and prom
ised not to sit down to gaming
table for year Bat a short time
after that she was at Monaco, facing
her partner over the green cloth,
throwing down Napoleons by hand
fuls from a box held by her maid at
her side-ali this time standing, so
as not to break her promise, which
she could not keep by sitting at u
gaming table. Some twelve or tif-
teen years ago, leaving a gaming
house in Hamburg, she fell and
broke both her legs, and ever since
she had been obliged to wslk on
crutches. But che gambled to the
very end, and retained along with
her mania the most genial good hu-
NOR and kindness to everybody.

the peep with her into that curious

she makes u great discovery.
But Rose is not the only character

with remarkable surprise, for, in
