The New Fork JVaw* admits that - * ?:? ?i: r..;.kt me roouDHirucnun fuurcy wu? years trial has proved a failure, and tbat it is not possible that eight years more would enable it to -work any better. According to its view what is needed now is v policy of -"firmness and justice." But the troablais, tbat the moderate men who indicate such iews, are not those who -control the movements and give expression to the policy of the Republican part}. It is only a few days since that a ReDublican President aad a Republican House pressed forward the Force bill, And the real leaders of the party, - such as Morton, Butler, Cameron, and others, arc the earnest advocates of a policy of coercion. 'Aho success of the party depends upon removing all . the sectional feelings of the late war, hence the policy adopted has been to irritalo and and arouse the Southern people to the commission of violerce, and then with the story of outrage and danger to proclaim ti^e imminence of'another rebollioo, aq'd a second civil War. The outrage game, howerer^ seems to be early ^played out, and the shortcomings of the party have been so manifest, tfi?t common -1- a. .

The Civil Riqhts.Iik New York.?A corresponde? of the News and^fCoiaritr wriflp as foltows: Since the passage of the Civil Rights bill by Congress an effort has been made by some enterprising reporters to ascertain the intentions of some of the leading hotel proprietors in reference to a compliance with tne law. i oe result may perhaps enlighten the colorpd-people of your section as to the > character of the / superior "aflfec^>ja.'' ,w?ich they, have been told bf^-'ihe-^afpet-b&ggers. exists for their race throughout the great No?0j. w The large hotels on Broadway being visited, the proprietors witVone accord declared thai they Bhop#.regul?t? the internal nrrangeooents of their business to suitthemselvcfs.

Mortality of the Two Races. The remarkable mortality of the colored race compared with that of Charleston, is apparent from the following statement : The deaths of whites during the year numbered 718; colored 1,250. The estimated white population is 25,000. That of the colored is nnn TVma fhe rntio of deaths is *V,WV. oue for every 23 whites, and one for every 21 colored. The increase of disease, especially consumption,! is attributed to exposure, dissipa-J tion, want of food, clothing and bedding. The mortality of children under five years of age is especially great The salvation of the race will depend upon their securing, moral, religious and industrial education. ??-? m ^ rv Tap ?Wii lf>nrn f.hat VJTUULf r KJIX vvo.? .1 ~ Joe Scott alias Joe Smith, has been sent to the Georgia penitentiary for fifteen years, to receive twenty-five lashes every Monday morning for the first twelve months.

Revival of Business. ? Then are indications of some revival o business among cotton manufac turers in New England and iroi manufacturers in Pennsylvania an< elsewhere, with anticipations o | improving prospects as the seasoi advances. There are many works I however, still idle, owing mainlj to strikes to prevent the increase o operations and decrease of wages One drawing in some quarters, too is owing to want of coal cause< by coal miners' strikes, while thi freshets and ice in some section are preventing a resumption o work. The woolen mills in 'tht North are not very active. Ther< is much engagement nevertheless in the prospect that as the seasor advanoes and travel and communi cation become regular, with an ad justment of the strikes ao thai workingmen, with a return to ful employment, can have the meani to purchase more freely the neces saries of life, a substantial reviva of all industries may be establish ed.

The return of tbe Ex-President to Washington was something of an ovation, and friends and foes tendered him their doDgratulations. His present triumph seems to havo made amends for all his past Borrows, and ha is disposed now to cultivate tho virtues of forbearance and magnanimity. To a reporter of the Herald hs thus discoursed upon current topics. As tO ' the danger of an empire. Correspondent?What do you .think of the Force bill. Andrew Johnson?I can see bow that bill, in the hands of a bad mansuch a man as Grant, a man seeking only place, power and pelf?Grant is a man of greed?I can see now in his hands this bill might have worked Incalculable iniury. I do not say tbat it certainly would have corie to tbat, but there was great danger. If the country would have been in the proper condition, if all the other necessary circumstances had been present, I can very easily see how Grant might, by a suspension of the writ of habeas corpus have so awed the people of South that he might have overturned one State government after another until not only the election 01 1876 would be assured to the Republican party, bnt the thing might easily end in an empire. Mark you, I do not say this was the inevitable result of that law. I say it was a possibility, anda dangerous one. T1IK CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE. COKRESI'ONDENT?Your idea of the Civil Rights bill and its effect? andbew johnbon?With the cemetery and school clauses eliminated it Is not so objectionable as originally drafted nevertheless, I believe the people of the country have come to the conclusion mnof Ka wit.

BOTH PASTIES OS TRIAL. Correspondent?And now what do you think of the political outlook ? Andrew Johhson?It is not all clear. I think the people of the South are disposed to be prudent and careful and if the entire democratic party act in a proper way we may return to happy prosperity. Both of the existing parties are on trial. In New York the democrats carried the State last (all by about fifty thousand, while two years before the republicaus had a majority of fifty thousand ; but this was not clear gain. There was a large republican element that refused to vote with the republican party and yet swas not ready tojoin tbeaemocracy. It Isthis element thaimust be secured before either party can hope for success at the next election, atad if moderate counsels " r ' ? - J? prevail 1 nave no uuuul UVU4WI MM may secure it. SIGNIFICANCE OF MB. JOHNSON'S ELECTION. In the South, I think there is a marked Improvement. The feeling of terrorism which necessarily sprung up and followed the rebelion is dying out, breaking down and man are beiginning to act ana for themBelva. My election illustrated this. Against me were ranged a number of Confederate generals and some effort to enforce the old spirit of terrorism in thair belief was made; but it failed. My electiou was the first triumph of Union principles in Tennessee since the war. I advise the people to adopt a broader view of public affairs. NATIONAL WHAT IS WANTED. What we want is to nationalize ourjelvs. We have been denottonaJized ong enough. We want to step out an a more national plane, to Identify ourselves with national Issues and national politics to be no longer controlled s " ? r by loc&l or secuonai lunueua-a. ? twu. I saw the fruit of this advice iti my lection. I was a thoroughly Uulon man and so recognired and my election was a recognition of Union principles. Let the whole South endeavor to natio alize itself in this way and the ftature is bright. NO WRONGS TO KEDRE8S. And now I want the Herald to correct one thing for me. An impressiou has gone abroad that I come here to avenge my private grievances,' to redress personal injure*. It is not so. I have now no wrongs to redress bat my country's. My election settled all personal Injures ever inflk'ted. I come now to deal "only with present issues, ui course, if any of my acts while President were attacked it might be necessary at some time to defend myself but that aide, I come here not as a party man but entirely independent. the olive branch and the constitution. Then, straightening himself to his full height, Mr. Johnson continued very impressively ,fI come here, as it were; bearing the olive branch in one hand and the constitution of my country in (he other. "Icome with balm from Gilead. "I come to pour oil on the gaping wounds of my country. "I come for peace." The Senate.?Some of out Democratic friends are figuring up an anti* J?*?momHfv in- the United AUUllUiObinvivu ... States Senate. This body Is now composed of seventy-three members?there being one vacancy in the Louisiana delegation. Of these twenty-eight are pronounced Democrats; forty are Repunlicans; and five independents, who s>re elected by moderate Republicans and Democrats. These will vote with Democracy generally, and give them fifty three votes to forty. 8uch Republicans as Alcorn of Mississippi, Robertson of South Carolina, Hamilton of Texas, Ferry of Conneticut, and Booth of California, can be counted upon to oppose all extreme measures porposed by the Administration. These five names taken from the Republican and added to the Democratic side will give the Grant men thirty-five and the antiGrant men thirty-eight votes, or a majority of three. If Finchback be admitted tne Republicans will be strengthened 1 Homnnm ta WPJlUpned to that a iivi tuu j^cuiuvimvu ?. ? __ exteut, but the indications are that Pinchback will not be admitted. Both branches of the Forty-fourth Congress may be considered practically Democratic, so far at least as tho South is concerned. So far as the confirmations of executive appointments are concerned the Democrats now have the power, without the assistance of the Liberals or Independents, to defeat a bad nomination, or for that matter any nomination, if they should consider it the policy of the party to block the Government In this way Bridal Presents that amount to Something. ? Salt-cellars, pie-knives and things float like beautiful dreams about the modem bride. Fond affection blooms fnto cashmere shawls, and deep devotion richly shines In pink pincushions. All this is ordinary, very ordinary. The sort of things that would most rapidly overwhelm with Joy a trusting girl, and suggest the thoughtful love of true-hearted friends, were lately bestowed npon a young Chicago lady. These were: First, a pair of pebble-goat -1 ***?' K unf h n . lo nr H11WS, 1IUIXA blic UUUO o Uivwuvi-iu-mn, second, a hajfdozen case knives and a kerosene lamp from the bridegroom; third, a mop, broom, and potato-masher from and unknown friend; fourth,* can of kerosene and a bundle of kindlings from the bride's mother-in-law: also, a nutmeg grater and some mantle ornaments from her school friends. These, now, are the gifts that rouse the beBt and purest feelings of one's nature, and combine usefulness and quiet elegance. , P. J.
