of the country is our politics, and 1t would
be strange if politics were managed with
greater purity in the South than they are
elsewhere In estimating the fruits OF
emancipation it is more important to be ac-
qusinted with the industry, thrift, educa-
ton and morals of the negroes than with
the nature of their participation in the
dirty politics of their section, which cannot
be much worse than the dirty politics
of the country at large, especially III
the great cities. What We really need
to know about the negroes is the amount
of property they are acquiring, the me-
chanical trades they are learning, their
fidelity to the marriage relation, their at
tendance at churches and schools, and
whether there are young men of capacity
among them who aspire to be engineers,
architects, physicians, lawyers and mer-
chants. 1t is only this species OF informa-
ton that will enable us to judge of the adj
vanccs they are making toward higher
condition. We believe that they are sur
passing any expectations that could have
been formed at the outset OF the expert
ment, and if the next census fails to furnish
information on these points the neglect will
be inexcusable.
Senator WINDOWS bill for appropriating
money to enable negroes to emigrate will
prove as futile in result as it is benevolent
in intention. There is no more reason why
the Treasury should pay the travelling
expenses Of black men than of white men.
Such "paternaI scheme would be subject
to all sorts Of abuses Any able bodied
negro who desires to change his residence
can earn in month money enough
to take him five hundred miles by rail
and much greater distance by steamboat.
If any negroes think they can better their
condition by removing to the Northern
States or the Western Territories they can
easily earn the means of making the jour-
ney. A concentration Of the colored popu-
lation in one locality would be a disadyan-
tage to them, because it would deprive them
of the civilizing effect Of contact with the
superior race To scatter them thinly over
the, North and West would be almost as
bad, because they are admitted only to
servile employments in q preponder-
ating white community. In their pres
ent locations they have the advantage
of white example. and also the ad-
vantage of entering all pursuits and
professions Tor which they can qualify
themselves negro mechanic or doctor or
lawyer has no chance in the North, since
white people will not employ him and the
people Of his own color are not numerous
enough to give him subsistence. But in
the South he can find patrons in his own
race, and during this generation and the
next his best opportunities for rising will
be in community where white civiliza-
ton supplies him with models and the
patronage of his own race is sufficient to
furnish him employment in the higher de-
partments Of activity.

Our special despatch from the scene Of
the last ditch Of the Cheyennes recites all
the particulars of their ultimate slaughter,
and its simple narrative gives vivid pic
ture of the most remarkable battue in the
history of Indian wars. 1t appears that
the difficult trail of the Cheyennes was
only followed successfully in their last
escape by the Sioux, Woman's Dress,
and half breed scout his as
sociate, named John Changrot. These
two followed the trail till stopped by the
fire of the hidden enemy, who were in a
hole near to the edge of high bluff, the
precipitous side of which is over the bed Of
stream now dry. In this hole they were
so we'll hidden that they could completely
command the advancing troops but were
not themselves under fire. AS soon as the
troops came up pickets were posted to cover
the edge Of the pit with their fire and thus
keep the Indians down, and to this
movement is due the fact Of our small loss !;
yet all our men thnt were killed were killed
in this period of preparation for the coup
de grace. With the line formed in semi
circle, the right and left at the edge of the
bluff, only the line of the bluff was left
open for On Indian run but this was only
open on top OF the hill, for men were posted
below on that side to prevent escape in that
direction. With the line formed the inter.
walls between the men were three yards ;
but as they advanced, the circle grow
ing smaller, they came closer at every
step, and the Indians in this dense line
could not have missed shot but that the
steady fire Of the line itself kept them now
and their nearly exhausted ammunition
compelled economy. Once begun the adj
vance was continued to the very edge of
the crater, and there each soldier fired into
the heap and stepped back to reload, and
this was continued till "order reigned in
Warsaw" An attempt to spare some, under
the apprehension that they had surren-
dered, nearly proved fatal to Captain wes-
sells, and indicated once more for the last
time that there was no other solution of this
trouble than the systematic humiliation of
the band.

The WEATnER.-Thc depression which was

highest off the South Atlantic coast, where
clear weather generally prevails. II is rising

have been fresh to brisk in the Middle
Atlantic and New England States and

OVER THE IsANlSTERS.


Over the banisters bends a face,
Darling sweet and begulling;
Somebody stands in careless grace,
And watches the picture, smiling.
The light burns dim In the hall below
Nobody sees her standing.
Saying goodnight again soft and slow,
Halfway up 20 the landing.
Nobody. only the eyes of brown,
Tender and full of meaning,
That smile on the iaircst face in town,
Over the banistor leanirg.
Tired end sleepy. with dropping head,
wonder why she fingers,
And when all the good-nghts are said,
Why somebody holds her fingers
Holds her fingers and draws her down,
Suddenly growing bolder,
TIL her loose hair drops its masses brown
Like n mantle over her shoulder.
Over the banisters soft hands fair
Brush his check like a feather.
Bright brown tresscs and dusky hair
Nee and mingle together.
Therc'sa n question asked.there'sa swift caress
She has flown like bird from the hallway
But over the bansters drops a "Yes,"
That shall brighten the world for him alway
