The statistics regarding the negro, pub
lished by the Superintendent of the census
of 1880 in the United States, are curious.
1t was believed before and after the civil
war that the negro race, as inferior, could
not thrive beside the white race. The
census returns of the slave States rather
confirmed this opinion. 1t was predicted
that with freedom would come a friction
which would impair the vitality of the
negro, and, in the end, he would disappear
from the continent But these statistics
show that the negroes have increased from
4,4S1,S $50 in the year 1860, to 6,277.497 in
the year 1880. Moreover, it appears that
the white population of the Northern
States has increased 2S.S per cent during
the last decade, the whites of the Southern
States have increased 329 while the negro
has increased 34.S. After estimating the
increase of the Northern whites by immi-
grafton, IT seems that the increase of the
white native Americans is only I5.7. while
that of the Southern negroes and whites,
after making the same deduction, is -30.4.
In other words, the negro not only holds
his own, but at the present rate of increase
in one hundred years will number III 7,000,-
600, while the Northern whites would mum
1nere are OIL course
many causes which would check this rapid
increase of the negro. But the argument
is ended which claims that the negro Will
not hold his own. 1t must be considered,
however, that the negro is under peculiar
conditions at the South. There is little or
no rubbing, land is abundant and cheap,
and room Is large. The negro came out
of slavery with better skill in labor than
the white. He can live where the white
will starve. His habits of life are mex
pensive. Slavery was not an ''unmitigated
evil" it taught the negro to work, and
with his trained hand he now masters his
old master. These statistics show the
great, serious question before American
statesmen of dealing with the negro, The
great Republican party of the North,
which gave him freedom and expected
loyalty from him, already find him drift
ing away into the Democratic party, and
becoming, as all ignorant men are, a dan
gerous political factor.
The comparatively slow increase of the
northern whites brings to the front one of
the important questions involved in all
high civilizations, wherever wealth accu-
mulates and people have leisure, the in
crease is arrested. In the centuries behind
us it ended in extinction; what will be the
result on the American Continent it is idle
to predict.

GASIBETTA and his ministry have fallen
1t is one of the most extraordinary exam
pies Of powerful leader of an overwhelm
ing majority being thus sacrificed by his
own party on question of minor import
ance. From the vague information we
have boen able to gather from the latest
kilograms it would appear to us that it is
still the famous seraiR dc liste which is the
cause of his downfall In the latter part
of the sessions of the former Chamber he
had already sustained defeat on the same
subject when trying to modify the electo-
raj law according to his idea. In taking
office he did not hide his sentiments, and
amongst various alterations. which were
thought advisable to make in the consti-
tuition. his government included the con
scription of the principle of this ''scrutin
de Hste" TO the fundamental statute of the
land. Had he succeeded in his efforts, this
method of voting once embodied in the
Constitution could only have been altered
with great difficulty, because of the many
formalities which a change in the Consi-
tuition requires, and would thus have been
protected from the notifications which it
Is rather easy to make an ordinary law
undergo. But in helping to pass such a
measure, the present Chamber originating
from the "scrutin d'aITondissement'' would
have fatally condemned its own existence,
and necessarily an immediate dissolution
would have been the consequence of such
a step. Many of the deputies were not
secure enough of their constituencies to
take the risk of standing again for new
contest so soon after general election.
Consequently many of them, placed be-
tween the alternative of supporting the
Government and thus probably losing
their seat, or of opposing the scrutin de
liste and SO continuing to be Legislators to
the end of the session, chose the latter
This became evident when, on the forma
