THE General Assembly OF South Car
olina yesterday elected W. ]. Whipper to
be judge of the First Judicial Circuit for
that State. General Whipper is black
man and was raised in the State of Michi-
gan. After serving in the United States
army, at the Gloss of the war, he settled in
South Carolina. He was member of the
Constitutional Convention, and has been a
member Of the House of Representatives of
that State since reconstruction, with the
exception of two years. He is regarded
by those who know him as a good and
sound lawyer, an honest and impartial
man. We are informed that he is one of
the most popular black men in the State.
The First Judicial Circuit includes the
city Of Charleston, in which reside some Of
the sblest and most refined members of the
old bar of the State. Whipper being the
first black circuit judge elected in that
State, it is hoped that he and the members
of the bar will act tremendously. We are
reliably informed that an Englishman by
the name of Dawson, connected wit b the
Charleston Nesos and Courier, as one of
its many editors, was the indirect cause of
the election of General Whipper. Dawson
pretended to dislike Whipper, and so man
aged by continually keeping Whipper's
name in his paper TO make him very popu-
lar with all fair-minded persons, and more
especially the colored people. -rr

county, and table twenty-four gives the
number of voters in each county, and by
critical examination Of these tables we find
that in proportion 10 population, the COL
ored vote largely exceeds the white vote.
The following tables will prove this con-
clusively, four counties from Mississippi
being selected, where the colored popula-
ton Is nearly four to one Of lthe whites !;
four where the white population is four to
one of the colored, and four where the
races are nearly equal. with the number OF
voters in each county, and the number OF
inhabitants to each voter. The tables are
as follows, and speak for themselves

ELSEWHERE will be found letter from
Superintendent Bangs, of the railway mail
service, to the Postmaster General, which
will be found to comprise highly valuable
analysis of the mail matter transported, the
cost of carrying each class of matter, the
receipts from each and the profit and loss
upon each TO the Government. The results
will astonish many of those who have sup
posed hitherto that the cost of the trans
portation Of the mails was not governed by
the weight of the property carried, and
that the deficit in revenue arises altogether
rom second and third class matter. 1t
will also astonish everybody to learn that
upon the average the Government carries
printed matter at loss of twelve and a
half cents q pound. Mr.. Bangs rightfully
says that the third class or freight matter
not being properly dissemination of in
telligence" not be carried by the
Government al loss. We shall refer to
this matter more at length in the future.
Meanwhile, attention is invited to the letter
of Mr.. Bangs, and especially to the tabular
statement which elucidates It.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-12-17

By these tables it is plainly shown that
where the population is four colored to one
white there was one man of voting age to
every four inhabitants; where the popula-
ton was four white to one colored there
was one man of voting age to every five
and seven tenths inhabitants, and where
the population was equally divided there
was one man of voting age to every five in
habitants. These figures prove themselves,
and we can now arrive at the number of
colored and white voters in the State of
Mississippi, because we have the number of
white and of colored inhabitants, and there
is one white voter to every 81 white in
four colored inhabitants. The census
shows that in 1870 there were ~, 206 col
ored and 1872, 800 white people in that State.
By dividing the first figures by four and
the last by five and seven tenths we have
the colored and white vote, and it is III, 021
colored and 81, IT'S white, total of 17S, 1876
males over twenty-one years of age, and
this estimate is within four thousand of the
number returned as being in this State.
Admitting that there are as many colored
Democrats in Mississippi as there are white
Republicans, this would leave Republican
majority of Jorty.four thousand in that
State. In the last election the Republicans
only polled 66, 600 votes. Fifty thousand
men who would have voted the Republican
ticket If they dared to stayed at home.
We do not blame them. 1t was better to
stay at home and live than attempt to vote
and be shot. But what must we think of
the members of Congress who come from
that State with their credentials printed in
the blood of freemen, and who dare to talk
about the freedom of elections2 What do
the loyal people of the country think of the
condition of State where majorities are
thus overridden? What of the men who
do it as their legislators The riots and
bloodshed, the atrocious and wholesale
murders committed In Mississippi during
the last twelve months have borne their
expected fruit; the colored men were over
awsd and kept from the polls, and Missis-
sippi is Democratic State. Let all the
COpperheads and Doughfaces rejoice.

AEKW IAcrs ABOUT MISSISSIPPI,

The late election in Mississippi is one OF
the questions that deserves serious consid-
Grafton. 1t Is claimed that the ex-Confed-
crates are acting and will act honestly TO-
ward the colored people of the South; that
they will give them "a fair show" in. all
things Notwithstanding ihe fact that the
colored people are now, as they always
have been, Republicans in politics. Mis-
sissippi is undoubtedly Republican State,
but in the late election it went Democratic
The riots, the bloodshed, the unpublished,
as &c was unprovoked murder of hundreds
of colored men, women and children, just
previous to the election, in that State are
the reasons why the Democrats carried the
State ct the election. 1t will hardly be
denied, by any one who has the least re-
gard for his reputation as a truthteller, that
the colored men OF the South are almost
unanimously Republicans. With this fact
understood, it is easy to arrive at the Re-
publican and democratic vote in any of
the Southern States. But to arrive cor
rectly ct the number Of white and colored
voters, we must not merely take the white
and colored population In any State and
divide by given number. We must first
ascertain whether the proportion Of voters
to population is the same in each race. We
assert it is not, and shall proceed to prove
the assertion by indisputable evidence
The census of 1870, while it gives great
number of valuable tables, does not give
the number of white and eolored males
over the age Of twenty-one years; but il
enables BY examination, to arrive at the
numbers with almost as much certainty as
II they were given. Table two of the
volume on population gives the number OF
white and colored Inhabitants in each

AFTER protracted and, in our opinion,
Unstable silence, Senator Spencer has de-
manded an investigation of the charges al
legged against him in connection with his
election. The infamous falsehoods spread
broadcast over the land regarding this
matter by the Confederate agents of the
Associated Press in the South have served
to prejudice the public mind to some ex-
tent against the Senator; and he has at
last taken the proper step to remove that
prejudice. That he will succeed in his
effort, no one who knows the char
acter of the conspiracy at Montgomery
against him will doubt for a moment.
He has simply been prominent as a
so-called 'fcarpet-bsgger. and for that
reason has been the constant target of
the most venomous shafts of the Opposition.
1t is worthy of remark, right here, that,
with the exception Of these unfounded
charges from his natural enemies, his
name has never been subjected to breath
of suspicion IN connection with any dis
reputable transaction either of public or
private character.

THE Democratic guillotine, which has
commenced its work of decapitation in the
House of Representatives. first struck
in the Clerks Office Charles W. Clisbee, of
Michigan, for many years Reading Clerk,
and Clinton Lloyd, the accomplished and
efficient Chief Clerk of the House, both
gentlemen who have so faithfully dis
charged their respective duties to the entire
acceptance of preceding Congresses as to
deserve more than passing notice on the
occasion of their removal. MIR. Clisbee,
who Is an unflincAing Republican, has
gained valuable parliamentary experience
and an acquaintance with public affairs
which would of itself amply justify the
Republicans of Michigan to promote him to
higher position of usefulness in the Ma
tional Congress, where his voice and vote
could advance the interests Of his party and

IT Is AMUSING to read the comments
of the outside press, including the so-called
great dailies of New York, upon the adop'
ton of Mr.. Holmsn's anti subsidy resolu,
ton. They breathe spirit Of verdance
which is refreshing during this bleak and
dreary season of the year, and indicate a
charming innocence of any knowledge Of
the fact that the House always does the
same thing at the beginning of each ses-
sion. Probably two-thirds of the members
who voted for this anti-subsidy clsptrap
resolution either have subsidy bills in their
pockets, ready to be presented at the first
opportunity, or are pledged to vote for
some especial measure of the kind. The
Democracy must not expect 10 make capital
out of such transparent transactions as this.
