THE NEGRoEs.-It was scarcely to be ex-
pected that the negroes, thrown as they were,
into such strange and unexpected relations with
thcr former owners, should all at once behave
with good sense. They are b. nature highly
imaginative, very credulous, and utterly i'm
provident of the future. Notwithstanding the
honest and well meant advice given them in
nine cases out of ten by their masters. they
have preferred to believe the glowing tales Of
the ignorant amongst themselves, or the wanton
representations of white people who deceive
them often in sport. Many Of them are giving
up good homes, where they might remain CON-
Portable, with moderate work; for the sake of a
present holiday to be followed bya future of
bitter regret


sadness in it too, in witnessing the crowds OF
gaily dressed negro women and girls grouped
upon the streets, or trudging through the sand
Where their meat and bread is to come from
when the army has left, or any clothes after
those tawdry ones wear out, is hard to imagine
They will find it difficult to resume places which
they have abandoned, some of them making
the first use of their freedom to insult their mis-
tr-sses, thus cutlug off >all hope of return.
They will now aaunt awhilr and come soon to
starvation, or crime.


1t is hardly dealing killly with H. posr
creatures, evidently unfit as they are 10 take
ear. OF themselves thus TO leave them unpro-
tecicd. Those who leave their homes have of
course given up all claim upon the advice Or





assistance of their iormsr owners, and the latter
of course are powcrl - to coercc them The
negro irmoralzrs with terrible rapidify, and il
the operations of the ir-rliD ms bureau b. not
soon extended over the large numbers of them
in this and the adjoining counties, the country
will become desert. For it is beyond all ques-
ton that the negro will steal or beg before he
will voluntarily work, and thai he takes no
thought of the morrow


1t is of the utmost importance, also, that the
true relations between the white and negro
be understood at ONCE. for the benefit Of both,
that all may adapt themselves without loss vi
time, TO tac new system. Our agriculturists
are all afoat in their plans, and DO not seem
rightly to understand any part of system
which atfScts them 50 vitality. They know not
how much they will be required ~ pay the
negro, or what obligations they may b. under
to feed and clothe the infrm. They do not un-
derstand how the negro is to be compelled to
fulfill his contract or what powers Of coercion,
if any, will be entrusted to the employer
Meanwhile the crops are lost in the weeds. and
the negro is dancing away his tim with his
head filled with crazy dreams of ,n Hess holi-
days.

FALL IN DOMESTIC GooDs.-The New York
Journal OF Commerce thinks that, though all
the classes of commerce show q decline, athat
1t does not follow them from any known facts
that staple goods may not be as high in the
spring as they have been this fall. Producers
will crowd their looms and a dull operation
may create panic in prices, but the causes
which have stimulated and sustained the spec-
ulations of the last two years are by no means
removed, or in process of removal" On the
same subject the Financial Chronicle saws:
'Goods OF all kinds are rapidly accumuiating
very much against the wishes of holders The
bottom is not yet reached, but a further reduc-
ton OF fine or seven per cent. will bring about
reaction. and the trade that will surely follow
that reduction will soon clear the market of
the present accumulation. Prices are not vet
down to those of the last week in August. at
which time trade commenced so briskly. The
long period of dullness which has followed the
unwarranted advance OF September and Oc-
tober will suggest more caution should trade
again spring up

The SOUTHERN METHODIST CHURCH
A SUGGESTION FROM BIaHoP AMEs. -
Inc Christian Adgocate and Journal, con-
'ains the following suggestions from Bishop
Ames concerning the Southern churches:-


THE Southern bishops say that they are
at loss to conceive by what shadow of right,
legal or moral, the property is held by the
present occupants. am sorry the Bishops
are so ignorant of the facts. am happy to
inform them, and all concerned, that the au-
thority by which the property alluded to was
taken possession of, was the only authority
which at the time, and still, SO far as know,
could enforce obedience to law, and maintain
order in the rebellious States. And now
propose to the bishops and to all other par
ties interested, that Chief Justice Chase shall
decide the question of title to the property
referred to, and that all shall abide by his
decision in the premises; and hereby pledge
myself (and l doubt not my colleagues in
the episcopacy will do the same) that should
the decision be in favor of the Church South,
will at once withdraw all the ministers
whom ] have appointed to conduct divine
services in those Churches referred to, pro-
vided the authority by which now occupy
them allows me to do so, of which l have
no doubt. I think if the Southern bishops
are as confident of their title to the property
| as they appear to be, they will not hesitate
thus to submit the question to the decision of
the highest Judicial officer in the Govern
ment.' Hg,.
