Th2 .futire of the Negro 1 calieasm the Bane of His If the design of the radical par ty is to annihilate the colored -rap, in this country, it has adopt -ed the surest means to bring about that. rasult. The time will com, .and that not many years ho.nce, whoi the blacks of the South will bo.reucos in number so greatly that their total extinction will bo simply a matter of mathematical .oulcilation-the fact beinig a.-fore gone conclus.ion so plain and pal. PAale that none but.'the veriest ignoramus will have the hardihood to deny it. It is useless, in the woids of Hamlet, "to try and cir -cuinvent God." It is useless to ex pect, that the white race in Amo rica, with all its vim and vigor, consequent upon its marrigo and intermarriao with Saxon, Tou ton anJ COet, will hold back in ita -Qnward career, in order that the ATrican may attain, in company with it, to that higher civilization which, reason as we may, is rL ,iorved only for the Caucasian, in thip new world at least. Not all the quasi-philanthropic schemes that have been. or may be, evolved from Puritanism, can alter the flat which has gone forth -we use it, now, in no mere party sense -this is, and ever mutist be,a white man's governmenti. As the power .Of the aborigines has, year by year faded away in the glair of while *Civilization, so will the number of' Afric's soni' decrease, until the remnant that may be left will only mark mhro fCreiblo the truisim, -that no race can ever set itself lp against the white without either subjection '-r ext.iiction being the sequence. It is not by any means a consoling reflection, to feel as "urod thati a race whieh might have done much in aid of itself, of the country and of mankind,had those who took it under their es peial care dealt with it as natural law requires, is doomod to become extinct; but there is no man who. calmly surveys the condition of' things among us to-day that is not -convinced of tihe verity of our as sertion. Radicalism invariably .actq without regard to reason, and is4l)ble .to profit by expberienco. It haf placed the negro in a sphere which Providence neither designed For him nor fitted himil for. It has ondeavored to impress hirn with the vain, falso and frivo lo.s idea, that he can overcome the many and mountainous obsta cles that forbid his rising to an equality wvith the more intellec tmial and stroner' brother, andI seekCs to force him in to emulating achievements of the white man; while all history and experience topch that such a course can only en< in his destruction.

Hovers i) the "devif's work," as he called it, and denounced spirit ualists and Spiritualismn in no very gentle language. Imagiue the deacon's anger, then, when six months afterward ho found it had worked its way into his family, and not only wore his wife and Ilaughters believers, but, one of LIhem1 was a medium,and possessed [Il power to Converse with the 3pirits of those who had departed to that "bourne from which no Lraveler reltrn-is." Deacon lases was mad, dread Pully mad, but ho hd wit enough niot to show it, and ho bore the taunts of the ungodly with a meek ipirit. He knew it would be use ess to declare open war; for Mrs. Lsaucs alone had proved more lhan a match for him, and he was uro to bo defleated. He must lcircumvent the critter," as lie mlxressed it., and to this end he 5et himself to work. ie was a man of sound judgment, and his 6vorldly experience for fifty years vas niot, throwni away. From the lay it first camIe to his kiowledge Lhat his wifo and daughliters were pi it taists he neverbpokco a word ignilt nor did he ever allude to t, except in general terms in his nornin1g prayers; but any one ould see that it troubled him bir he was absent-minded, his eyes vandered restlessly, and be looked reworn. Tho deacon mitnessed one or wo "sittings" at his own house. knd was satisfied that if' he pos Icss30d a little more knowle'dge he :otfld get rid of' thnem.

"Ha:ls my wife always b0cn true ,o her marringo vows?" asked the leacon.

"But the spirits aifilym different ly," said the deon in a solemn "Then they lie !" said the wife. "But, if' you believe themn in avory. t hing elIso why not in this?" "But I do'n't believe in them at ill; it is all foolerv.'" "Nor I !" shout~ed Mary. "'Nor' I !"' adided Sarah. "Then," said the (eacon, while a smilo illumhinatedl his countenance, "we will bid them good-by, and leave those things which God has wisely hid from us to be r'evoalod in his time." The deacon's evening devotions were characterized with more earnestnos8s than usual, and the family retired fully satisfied that the spirits and mediums (lid not always reveal the truth. Mr's. Isnen was sn glad that none of the neighbors wore pres. ont; but somoiow the story got wind, and so fearful were tho spi rit dames of N- that they might be caught in the same trap which the deacon had set, that spiritual. ism was driven entirely from tho village. POURING OIL ON A GovERNOR. A very intosting ceremony took flacp in Atlanta, Ga., latir, wook. . B. Pond, propriotor' of the Na tional Hotel, Gen. Terry, Com mander of the Department-, and R. B.

While ths 11 engaged, Gaines Chisolm, a noted sporting gentleman of At lanta, chie up, accompanied by several friends. When within a ewi feet of' tho party, Chisoll Stopped and asked Pond "what Wias trumps ? Pond mado sio tinknown roply, whereupn bis. olm exclaimed, "well, it's mny play now," and producing a buolcet of slops, which he had concealed be hind his back, he poured the col. tents on Pond's head. The sud don splash sent a liberal supply on the persols of' Gon. Terry, Gov. Bulloch and a stranger seated near them. One of Chisolm'n par ty fired a shot into the ground to draw ia crowd. In tho meantime, Chisolm politely apologized to the strangelr for the unintentional in sult, but took no notice of the soaked di.lnitaries who had shared in the "baptism by slops." Groat was thbe stir in the good city of Atlanta. Gen. Terry or dered out his moldiers, who pa troled the city all night and all next dlay. Nobody was arrested, L.owever. the Governor aid the Gnet'al com1manding having prob ably concluded to clalge cl thes and "considoir the souvre."'

C. Lockett's Sys^ tem. IIRINO ANU PAT1NO. Colonel Locketn hires exclusive ly by the year, and pays Iin green. baefcs at the end of each quarter. lie cla"ssiflos laborers and hirOs ac. cordingly, atipulatting the wages for firt, sccond and third lases ; and adds thereto Pine ration--4 lbs batcon and one peck ofi mcal to the laborer, per week. H1o ignoros the copartnership or the share plan altogether, and the peace, good oilder, contentment and sue cese of his plait demonstrato it as the true policy. When ho has contracted with a laborer, ho simplifies 'the contract by reddeing tho amount agreed 1pon- to per diem pay. Thus, i f lie agrees to pay a first-class hand 175 for the year's work, he runs thp working days through it, and tho laborer learns that ho is to get 56 ceilts per day, or F3.30 ov ery Sat' rday. Th is simplifivation is not only necessary to enable tile simple- iminded laborer to keep his own aecoulnts, but is Iecessa ry to cnblo the malnger to keep a 0orrect time bo-.k, foi the timle is still further divided into hours andl halt hours, anld the laborer knows that he s docked lhv the manager for Overy hour and even halt hour lie looses during work ing hours. This system stimulates a deter. millatioln onl the part of r.t-chtss hands to retain thit high distine. tionl, and operates its an incentive on the lower lasses to merit pro motion ; whilo the docking, or 1as they call it, "ducking," inspires at wholesome fear of falling short of the %3.36 at tho close of, the week. The ration is furnishcd only to the regularly hired laborrs, but provi'sions are kept on the place, and furnished to them fFor th non laboinmg mnmbor; of' their iskmi lie'i an advane OnlC-414Mt, just. sftlokicit to cover expetses and iterest on the money expended theretor. Coif wtable houses are provid cd fIr hir ihmiies free ofelharge, and gard-n .iosots aro alloted to them. At the cnd of eat-h quarter the pay rolls and mlney tire ready, and every laborer is paid the last cent that is due. No storo Ico coiuts or other indebtedness are rung in payment, bt whiat is dle is paid up in money. and a whole day is allo%wed them to frolic and spend it if they chooso. They are pe'rnitted to use the millo-s nild wngons and go whithersoever they please. OC1 course they all Oro to town--except, perhaps, a fow of lie more provident ad thrifty-liave a good time, and spend their money, and rejoice in the privileg.e. Whenever a laborer disobeys the manager's orders, or fails in anly way to do his duty and there is a conflict bectween him and the mnanag'er, lhe has the right of ap peail to Col. Lockett, who is the final judge, and who is as scrupu lous and rigid in met ing out justice ats the most.imnpartial judge that ev er wvoro the ermine.
