Tho negroes of tho South, stimulated thoro . to by their ultra radical allies of thc Northj ebbw symptoms of alarm in consequence of the threatened competition by laborers from China. A pretentious humanitarian demand lias been set up on behalf of thc negroes that they shall be treated in all respects ns the V? bi to man's peers, his equals in the field, tho .workshop, tho political arena, and thc social .circle. To a largo oxtont this demand bas tboon enforced through ooorsivc legislation and the still moro cocrsivo bayonet, against thc protest of an unwilling people. For a year or so, ? Sambo regarded himself as master of tho Southern situation. Ho had been* oalled from the corn-field, tho stable or the pantry to take his scat in tho legislative halls, abd perform tho highest functions of exooutivc authority over those whom formerly he served in every menial capacity. In truth, VHe regnrded himself as tho brno and sinew of t'the land, and tho phrase "poor white trash," .wbioh he so freely and contemptuously ap plied in his days of bondage, became enlarged in its significance so as to embrace every white man, woman and child within thc limits of tho State, and bia uso of it was no loss con temptuous than it was before. An agrarian .pirit penctratod through tho thickness of his cranium. Thc wealth of tho land be regard ed !>s thc product of his toil, und he deter mined that it should bc parodied out, and he would cultivate thc rich plantations in fu ture, if st all, for hi? own behoof and boho flt. Hut this dream of his is now interrupted Tho ooming man from Asia meets him face to face. Leaving the old civilization of cen turies behind him, tho Asiatic conics to our ?hores-as tho Africans carno and thc Euro peans oome--to better an unsatisfactory con dition. This, bo it remembered, is "thc lund of tho froe."-''the home of the exile"-there is room for all, and all are welcome. Truly it may be said, ns thc "New York Herald" a few days sinco did say, the Kcptiblioun who refuses to extend tho hand of encouragement .nd welcome to his brother from China, is "illogical and inconsistent." If this bo 80, us far as the wbhcllepublican is concerned, bow much more emphatically is it so with regard tot -io black. Against a Otiuouseiuu prejudice, which existed with scarcely a shadow of a chango lor ages, ho bas becu insolently per sistent In his demand for equality und frater nity ; and if bo, a semi-barbarian, and ju*t "released from thc thraldom of .slavery, be fit to meet tho white man, with his centuries nf civilization, on equal terms, bow much belter flitted for that proud position is tho patient .ad industrious representative of a oivibution #bieh dates baok far beyond tho Christian .Ml China was a land of cnligbtment when Eu rope was tho homo of tho rude barbarian, and if Europe has since then passed her in tho Taco, it is because the ultimate capacity of the Asisti?, like that of the African, bas a defi nite limit, especially when confined within the boundaries of his nativo land. Ho wants ' room for oxpansion.

The Cry for "Organisation" Comet from the Capital Our friend of tho "Pheonix" thinks tho Democratic put ty of this Stato is in nu organ ized working condition. Wo know but littlo as regards tho status of Democracy outside of I Edgefiold, but tins wo do know, thut in this District thcro is not tho slightest pr?tention to organization on thc part of tho Democratic party, nor has thcro been for months past. I Wo regret that such is thc case, and hopo our leaders will take steps at on carly day to wards perfecting a real lire, cnergctio, hard working Democratic organization. It cnn, and should be done forthwith. A Columbia correspondent of the "Ander son Intelligencer," (despite thc assertions of the "Phoenix") culls for "organization" and a rally around tho Democratic banner, and pays: "It can bc beard duily in all parts of our State that tho Democrats will carry the Legisla turo at thc next clcctiou iu 1870. Wc sa)' so by all means. Wo must triumph in 1870. Wc must elect our men, but our saying PO will not make it so. Our success depends upon tho orgauization of our party, und tho collection of t li o men and material for thc groat struggle at the ballot box in 1870. Our adversaries arc evidently wide awake, and in the lust twenty days numbers of their lend ers from all parts of thc State have been seen ut our capital. Some important change is going on in their ranks. It is thought by many that the Union League is disappearing before the Grand Army of thc Republic. Thc Radicals arc undoubtedly making preparations fur the campaign of'70. They arc in power, and like vultures av?, feasting upon thc very vitals of our oppressed State. What can wc do? Dravo men, honest men, want to know what can be done to ward off ibo dangers which surround them. Everything is con tained in thc word, work. Leaders of thc Democracy must get to their work before it is too lato. Let our committees be formed j let our banners Pout ut every cross-road j let tho heavens ring Willi thc songs of peace, dem ocracy and purity ; let our documents be prin ted and circulated, and Jct thc roll of tho Democrats number thousands. If tho work of organization is thoroughly carried on, and moro action and less talk, there will be no doubt as to thc triumph of the Democratic party in 1870. Infidel Colleges. The cause of religion has a subject of re joicing in the fact that throughout the whole Ohristinn world, institutions ol'learning ure established, for educating the youth. In our country every Christian denomination has a college tinder its entire control. Tho avowed objectoftbe.se denominational institutions it to instill tho Christian religion in thc youth of our country, livery body knows thhf, aud every budy expects tho Riblo to bo expound ed in these institutions. All of those denom inational semi naries have sectarian pnrposcs tc accomplish, but still thcro is no ill-feeling porduccd by them. Thc supporters of one delight in tho prosperity of nil of thc others, But where arc tho infidel colleges? Who, knows of .such a place? Where is it located '/ Who is its president? If thcro is sueh a place in tho world I never heard of it. There is not snob nn institution in America, except Girard Collcgo bo olaimcd ns infidel. Whj is this, arc thoro no infidels in our country i ! Yes, there arc many. Every littlo country village can boast of hoing tho homo of some one, who scoffs nt thc Bible, and slicers at God's pooplc-laughs nt their inconsistencies, and delight*, to magnify their faults. Those infi dels reproach mitiistcrs of tho Cospel ns igno rant, and professed christians as stupidly oro dohnts. Dut where ls tho ovidonco of wis dom being tho peculiar possession of infidels Has this class of society done anything, bul laugh and snoot* to dispel tho darkness wind it declares so loudly surrounds tho ohristian world.

PAYMENT OP TAXES.-It will bc remem bered that tho citizens of Columbia held a meeting some weeks ago, to institute a con certed resistance to the payment of the Stato tax. Chancellor Carroll and F. NV. Fielding, Esq., wore chosen as counsel totako tho mat ter through tho Courts. This effort to nulify thc law has proved a failure. A correspondent of thc Charleston Courier, writing from Columbia, says that Chancellor Carroll is understood to believe that thc Courts would sustaiu tho act, and that tho only remedy for unjust taxation is that provided by thc act itself. This remedy consists in making personal application to thc State Audicor, through thc County Auditor, for au abatement of thc tax. Chancellor Carroll has taken this course to get a reduc tion of his own tax, which fuel clearly eviden ces what his opinion is. It is vain, then, to hopo for a reduction, ex cept through personal application. When thc man who was selected to contest payment, is unwilling to risk a trial before thc Courts, others would act Wisoly by following his ex ample. Sucli u course docs not imply u sanc tion of the justness or legality of the tax law. li merely in ideates that the tax-payer sub mits to a power which bc cannot resist, and pays his black mai i-not because he approve? of it, but only to save ftither expense. And this is probably thc wiser course for thc ma jority of our people. Those who have plenty of money to throw away iu a hopclcts cause, may carn tho gratitude of posterity by figh ting the tax to tho last ditch. Hut poormcu had better "stand and deliver," before thc demand is increased twenty percent. A TALK, WITH OLD HUN WADI:-HR IS IN FAVOR or Cil IN ESK IMMIGRATION*.-A correspondent of thc "Cincinnati Coinmcr cial" has bot n interviewing ex-Senator Wadi I since his return from California, with the fol lowing result ; "?Ur.

Let have poaoo^" Ocn. N. B. Forrest is making rap progroas in tho construction of tho Mempl and Selma-'railroad,' Dip mond Catting. Tho art requires that tho outler should have an extraordinary skill for working tho stones, of which tho smallest often do not reach tho size of a pin head-so small that it takes hundreds of them to Weigh a carat ! Nothing equals in this respect tho skillfulness of the workers of Holland, and one is quite confounded when ho sees stones of such small dimensions out into twenty-four faces, perfectly equal and regular. This is not, however, tho only difficulty tho diamond cut ter has to surmount ; it is tho cleaner who lias to make choice of thc form to bo given to each particular stone. It is bc who must de cide, after n minute examination, how each particular diamond ought to bo cut, whether a brilliantor a roso ; he determines the choice by an endeavor to loso as little matter as pos. siblc. Dut this is not all. It is necessary that he should recognize at thc first glance in what way it is convenient to attack thc stone; which is not an easy matter, for if bis meas ures have not been well taken, it injy perhaps occur that twenty-three faces having becu al ready cut, thc twenty-fourth would require to bo cut on au imperfect part of thc stone ; and so it is fouud impossible to continue. Thc cutters and polishers arc often thrown out by finding unexpected flaws in thc Btonoj as they proceed with their work. Thc color, too, often changes; PO that sometimes it is quito impossible to tell bow a diamond may turn out ; and, os in thc ease of thc Koh-i noor, ono portion of thc stone may sometimes i prove to bo n great deal harder than another part ; and if, while cutting, the diamond be allowed to rcmaintoo long on the schyff be fore hoing taken off to cool, it might melt the lend in which it is set, and so, by changing its position, do very serious injury to thc stone. In cutting thc Koh-i-noor, it was necessary at times to increase thc revolution of thc schyff to three thousand per minute, in consequence of the extraordinary hardness of some por tions of that mo't valuable gem.
