A Negro Mayor for Washington, The following dispatches from the Washington correspondent of the New York lerald, gives some further In. dications of the drift of the black cur .rnout at the National capital'-' The nxt move of the colored R publicans of this- city is to be an of. fort to elect of their race, John F. Cook, s Mayor-of Washington. Cook haajust been elected registrar, one of the Viost important offices in the oity, and is quite. an advaneddarkoy poe bessing edu0ationi%',tact and i- faii share of fortune. - His oolored breth ren say they must-have him as their next mayor, at every. haaird.' They contend tL%,they -do all the heavy voting and :lect, all the Itepublicati candidates, and therefore are entitled o control sobiething 'better' -thaitho more registrarship aid*a 1fd*iilder men and councilmen. Cook, thotioli popular with most 'of the old bl'ored settlersj looks down --upoh th poor blacks, and particular the Vir int contrabanda, whom he thipke On t for deoentcolored society.'

FoF this will go down with the colqred citi zae remains to be seen. Major .Rich. ards, the Superintendent of P,ltIe was a 'pretty promined' candidato for the Majorality until the riot on Mojv day last.' t is belfave4 'that his prompt action to st1press that little disturbance has distrd7ed his last chanop of success, and that Cook will certainly get the iomination and be elected. It is remarked here thit while the blackh are' clamoring for ad mission -to the the;tres on the white, level, they do not practi66' the'a 'twe' equality in their dealings 'tith each' other. Thus, the most fashionable barbers here are colored mno,who will on no aoount,desoend to qhavo a dar key.

The i,est exercise of memory--re 'mbehr the poor. A Peace Jubilee Two Hundred and Fifty Years Ago. The Boston Advertiser says: It has just been discovered that the great Boston Peace Jubilee is not entirely without parallel in the histo tory of the world as a musical under taking. A concort very well worthy in many respects to be mentioned in the same day with it, ocourred near the beginning of the seventeenth cen tury, at Dresden, under the patronage of the Prince Elector of Saxony. The performance was that of an oratorio of Holophernes. The cappellmaster proposed to the Prince a performance of extraordinary magnitude, and was rewarded for the suggestion with a gift of five barrels of beer from the eleotorial brewery, and told to pro ceed and execute the plan, the State Treasury bearing all the boat. All the musiolaqs of Germany, Frahe, Switzerland, Italy and Po. ladd were invited to-appear at the appointed day in the first week of July, 16 16, and the performers assem bled to the number of 570 instrumen. t talists and over a thousand singers. I Some of the instruments of the for, i eign musicians looked very strange to i the Dresden people, and the oddest of < all were described in the record. A < Pole from Cracow, named Rtapotzky, I brought, on a wagon drawn by eight i mules, "a terrible double bass" four. 0 teen feet high, which could only be i played by an artist willing to run up C and down a ladder with his bow. The i ingenious capellmaster cast even this f into the shade by tying a strong ship's e rope to the wing of a wind-mill, to be I used as a single-stringed violin,' a big t saw serving for a bow. Besides this a the large copper kettles of the brewe- I ry and a battery of the guns of the e period were commonplace instru- p ments. I After a week of rehearsal the con. r oert took place in the open air, on the I 15th of July, in the suburbs of Dres- e 3en, seats having been built in the t rorm of an amphitheatre. The prin- I )ipal male soloist was one Rumpler, a a itudent from Wirtemburg, who was v illowed free access to the public beer a bo strengthen his powerful voice, with q 5uch excellent effect, that when his v bass 6himed in with the instruments a ibove mentioned, everything trem- s e ,,a eso pplause of the day, as she ought, for t ihe sung artificial cadence with such c ratal vigor that she died three days E afterward. The greatest violilplay- o Dr of that day, Signor Scipla, of Oro- a mona, was also present, and gave a ipice to the entertainments by pl ing on his instrument while holdintit . behindiis back. The finale of the programe was a t grand double fugue, representing the 1 Israelites and Assyrians engaged in a ' rurious battle, the realistic effect of t which was heightened by the two par ties of chorus singers throwing apples at each other. This feature especial ly pleased the electoral sovereign, and he presented the cappellmaster with a reward of fifty florins. Boston has still something to do to surpass all this, AFTER-DINNER NArs.-Many per sons are in the habit of sleeping for 1 half or an hour immediately after dinner. This is a bad practice. Ten minutes sleep befo~re dinner is worth ' more than. an hour after. It rests and refreshes, and prepares the sys tem foravigorous digestions. If sleep can be taken after dinner, it should I be in the sitting posture, as the hori Isental position is unfavravble to healthful digestion. Let those who ne9d rest and sleep during the day taJke it before dinner, instead of after, and they will find that they will fe bettier, and that their digestion 1 0 be improved thereby.

The following letter fron a uorres. dent, "Kiugstree," dated June p, give" a lively picturo of the State of judicial affairs in one of our negro ridden counties. There are ouly twice ms many negro voters as white voters in Williamsburg, but of twonty-four juryimen only two are white: We are now beginning to feel, In good earnest, the .praotiopl effects of reconstruction. Our June tertu of the Court 6f General'Fessons began tU session on Monday last, and of the hirty-onc petit jurors summoned, wonty-three negroes and eight white nen. Of the grand jury twelve were iegroes and seven white. Of the r jury some five or six did not nir appearance, but enough 6ppeared to constitute a jury. Of the etit jury ouly eighteen appeared. ttra jurymen had the to be drawn 'rom the bystanders, and of these, hirteen were drawn, and all of them vero negroes. It therefore now hap. ens that Jury No. 1 consists of ten egroes and two whites, and Jury No. all of negroes-not one white man pon it. After this jury was organiz. d, a serious question oooxlrred to the ourt as to who should write the ver its of the jury in case none upon he panel could write. It seemed to 'e agreed among the members of the ar, that the attorney representing he party In whose favor the verdict iight be should write the verdict *f ar the foreman had announced the ading, and then let the foreman iake his mark in the presence of the adges. But, finally, after some in uiries among the sable gang, his lonor found one man who said he ould write his name. This man was ppointed foreman by the Judge. No ordiot has ever yet been found by us jury, and it yet remains to be )on whether he can write a verdict roperly. This is certainly a terrible ate of things. The "bottom rail" is nquestionably "on top." An entire anel of negro jurors to try cases. be reen white men! Can any county i the State come up to this? (Charleston Nels.

It may truly and literally be said that 'there is music in the air,' for on every public thoroughfare, in every I publio hall, and in numerous private dwellings and general business head qu.arters there are primary rehearsals going on day and night; artillery, wind and string instrument,, anvils and vocal combinations are heard uturywhere, aa Lilure ila general and sweetening harniony of noiso all around. There was a sort of general vocal rehearsal of about 5000 voices in the Musio Hall this evening on which oooasina the versatile Jubilee Gilmore wielded the baton himself. The rehearsals were generally confined to the popular national airs, and such strains as 'Hail Columbia,' 'The Star Spangled Banner,' and the 'Harp that Once Through Tara's Hall,' were among those which were rendered more loudly, more savootly and more offeotively than they ever were before or ever will be again, except in the Coliseum during the five days of Ju bilee. On the morning proceeding the ina4guration of the Jubilee there is to be a general rehearsal of the whole vast chorus. Musically, finan oially and otherwise, then, it seems that this gigantic demonstration in honor of winding up the great war is to be a success.
