CROOKED CONTRACTS.
Charges Preferred against tho Acting CHIEF OF

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Charges have been
preferred against II. b. James, Acting Chief Of
tho Customs Division. and somewhat well
known in New York politics. which are likely TO
lead to his removal. The charges relate to con-
tracts for labor at the New York public stores,
and were presented under Brstow. but James
had some strong political backing. which de-
layed action upon them there. When bids for
filling tho labor contracts were advertised in
June, 1874, the advertisement ran, for a fur
ther term OF years" which was supposed to
mean for two years. as the previous contracts
bad run for this term twice in succession

James. which Is embraced in the affdavts in
the case goes to show that James wanted every
body except his friends, W. ii. Spcrry and ii.
Lawson Lapham who got the bid eventually, TO
think that the contract was only to be for two
years. James held out similar professions to
other persons making bids, and showed "A
general anxiety to diffuse this false impression
among bidders. The bids were opened His
friends had bid for three years at 500 900 a year
lust below the Oneida county firm bidding for
two years at t62 400. A lower bid could be
made profitably for the longer time. and the
contract was awarded to the lowest bidder.

MORTALITYAMONG SOUTHERN
NEGROES


The rate of rorlslity among the
colored people Of some of the cities OF
the South is indeed startling, and well
worthy the attention Of all thoughtful
men. In Richmond, for instance, the
average of deaths among the negroes
is fully twice as great as among the
whites. During the week ending Au-
gust %, fourteen white persons died
there and twenty-five colored For
the corresponding week last year the
official report shows that the total mum.
Der Of deaths among the whites was
only eleven, while of the colorcd popu.
lation twcnty-eight tpersonsdied. Week
after week the mortnary reports OF
Charleston, New Orleans, Memphis,
Savannah, Augusta, Atlanta and Mo
bile toll tho same startling story. The
average of deaths among the blacks is
three or four times as great as among
the whites. In II recent interesting
communication on this subject, which
was published in one of the Memphis
papers, 1t appears that the official NOR.
tuary reports of that city show that
during the year 1876 there were 652
deaths among the white population
and Col among the negroes In other
words, considering the proportion Of
white and colorcd inhabitants, the
death rate among the negroes was
nearly four times as great as among
the whites During the months Of
July aud August of this year the OIL
cial reports show that 1873 whites and
llS negroes died, or considering the
proportion ofihepopnlation, more than
FIVE negroes to one white. The case
of the city of Memphis is not an isolated
one. As we have already stated, re-
ports similar to the above como from
all parts of tho South. The causes
which lead to this terrible death ratio
among the colorcd people need not
long be sought after. They are only
too apparent to those who are convcr-
SAINT with the modes Of life of the ne.
grocs OF the cotton States. They neg
lcct or starvc their offspring, abandon
their sick to their own resources, in
dulgc every animal passion to excess,
and, when they have money, spend
their nights in the most disgusting and
debilitating debaucbey. All these
facts naturally lead TO the question I;
Are the negroes going the way of the
Indians Are they being "civilized
