On the troublesome question of the negro vote in the South the St. Louis Globe Demo- crat, the leading Republican organ of its sec tion, says: While the Republican party will accept all the votes which the negro gives, 1t believes that his own interests, as well as the interests of the party, the South and the country, demand that the negro vote be di- vided between the Republicans and the Dem ocrats. A division of the blacks would be followed by division of the whites, new and rational alignment of parties in the South would take place, and the negro would freely obtain all the political privi- leges conferred upon him by the laws.
 The substance of the important decision of the New York court of appeals in the Broad way railroad case ia that the power of the legislature to repeal the charter of a corpora tion does not include the right to undo what has been lawfully done by that corporation. The city's rental fee of $40,0o0 remains un- affected, as also does the right to the tax of three per cent. of the gross receipts during five years and five per cent. thereafter. Ac- cording to Corporation Counsel Beekman's calculation, the total city income from the road, which is now $96, 900, will eventually reach $f25. eco. Receiver O'Rrien will now cease to have charge of the road on behalf of the State, aud it will revert to the control of the trustees whom he displaced.

Mr. z. R. Broadway was for many years superintendent of the State Reformatory at Elnaira, New York, and is generally known as man of much knowledge of and good judgment in prison matters. Therefore what he has to say concerning convict labor com- petition is we'll worth attention.
 Dr. Broadway would employ all prisoners at mechanical work in productive industries, "soIely under the direction of the State, without the intervention of agents commonly termed contractors" He would divide them into two classes, the incorrigibles and the corrigibles. The former he would employ
 upon coarse industries, with a view simply to
 their earning their own support, and he would have the State monopolize the particular in- dustries used for the purpose, compensating private interests where they are interfered with. The corrigib1e class he would employ in diversity of mechanical industries, with the same appliances and methods and the
 same conditions, 70 far as practicable, that prevail in free shops and factories. He would endeaver to have the quality of the work and the daily output equal to that in the same industries elsewhere; would pay the same
 
 for everything supplied to them at fair rates and contribute to the support of those unable to earn their own living in the prison. The merchandise produced by prison industry, of equal quality and equal cost with that pro duced elsewhere, should be marketed in the same way and at the same prices. The ex- penditures of the prisoners would be limited to the minimum required for their support,
 and they would be enabled to lay up savings against the time of their release and would be prepared to continue, as free and possibly thoroughly reformed men, the industries to which they had been trained for the first time during their confinement in charge of the State.
 There is food for thought in these sugges- tions. And they will better bear thinking about than the utterancss of the demagogues who would have prisoners supported in idle nass

The pensions which are paid by some of
 the southern States to crippled confederate veterans may not be very lasting. The pen sion law of South Carolina, for instance, has proved the utter inability of tho State to meet this drain upon it's financial resources, and it is thought to be quite probable that the incoming legislature will repeal 1t, and leave the pensioners to shift for themselves.

 colored brother in the Alexandria valley down in Georgia sent the following request for minister to his bishop: Send us bishep to preach.
