The Triumph of Demooracy.
Let any one compare the condition
of the States of Europo now, with
their condition but twenty years ago,
and be cannot fail to see that the
great. mass of the people exorcise far
greater power upon their rulers and
the character of their government now
than formorly. There is John Bright
in the Cabinet of England, and his be
ing there speaks volumes. Spain' has
managed to do very well without a
king for a very long time, and proba
bly will conclude to do without one
altogether. In Austria and Hungary
such reforms are being mado, . and
such privileges extended to ..the poo.
ple, that Kossuth can hold offioe, and
the people are enthusiastic in their
loyalty arid altogether content. The
sato clection.in Prance gives notice to
Napoloon, to convert his Emipire into
a. on.htitutional kingdom, with a free
p arl-iiiat and responsible publio
ministens, o: to abandon the long
choriahod 1 spo of founding a line of
princes. Everywhere the leaven of
De6ooracy- is at work, and is appa.
rently conqiunring, and to conquer.
With the great RADICAL IDEA, the
equal rights of all men, we have al
w.ays bcen in full accord. We be.
lieve ourselves an extreme Radical
upon it. We out-horod Ilorod. We
believe we understand it, and .thpt, it
is a sublimo truth, and should stand
at the very hoad of any reflections
-non politics and government.

the party - those rights. Usually
Rndieal, in ti. naims the name of
countries down I. 'ntry, and in all
and ever has blen -if history, is,
anld persecuting faction o 1-ighteous
)igots, who in bestowing Iting
power, by wholesale, upon those j
have not of themselves grown up to
and sought it as an intollectuial an<
moral craving of their nature, hav
entirely lost sight of the rights o
those who cannot agree to the wisdon
of any such suicidal courso, and rid(
roughshod over them, trampling 0111
ter hcartsblood beneath the iror
heel of a"n ignoratit and insolent ma
jority. They adopt such measures,
universal suffirago, for example, under
peOlnliareireumlstances, as do not se.
cure "the equal rights of ALI. men,'
but, on the contrary, deprive the intl
1170nt, the educate-l, Mhe virtuous and
the refined, of their just share of
rights and of all political power. Tho
most hideous feature of such tyranny
is its heartless hypocricy.
E iuoated below Labor.
A eorroepondont of the Augusta
hronicle (4 Sen/ind, in a very long and
initer-esting leittor-, published sometimto
ago, aflir-ms, that the free sohool sys
tem of the North educates the labor
ing classes "above labor." We would
suggest that he should have said "be
low labor," in order to have used a
really truthful expression.- lie states
that young women or girls, rather
than enter- the houses of those better
off, ' ither in the city, town or country,
as "ho0lps," profer a less laborious but
muczmre depu)-j~table atyie of lif.
And so, the originial evil, reluctance
to work, b)rinlgsl upon society immno
ralit ies and miseries infinite in num
ber-.
Monomaniac almost as we uindonbt
(edly ar-e on the subjoet of education,
(for we have clung to our profession of
teachii' for fifteen years against the
jundgienit and wishes of our best
friends, who believe us peculIarly
a lapted to a more active life,) we are
not so blind, as not to see the truth
that underlies such statemnents and ar
rays of facts, as the correspondont of
the Chr-onicle f, Sentinel exhibits in
proof of his position. That truth has
been thus stated in the origInal book:
"knowladge puffeth up." so peg
"A little knowledge is a dangerous
thing."
There is, then, a supierficial style of
educat ion, that is practically worse
than no education at all. And it is
precisely the style of education that
thro.-rourths of' pupils will strive to
take, ahmd which nmany teaohers will
.erumit themi to take, sin)ce it is no0 bu
siness o,f theirs, say they, to corroet

Half a Million Women Vote.
The question of lay delegates being
sent to the Genor I ('onf6roneo of the
Methodist Churc N eth, is being now
voted upon. It is ou1 that co'nrns
Methodists more particularly in every
other aspect but one, and that one is
the fact, that over half a million of
women have voted upon it. Woman
suffrage is now a fact.
The Methodists are the largest and
most flourishing of the Protestant do
nominations in this country. The
right to vote in Church mntters being
conceded, the next step is very natur
al, that their women shall veto on po
litical issues also. Indeed, how can
it be denied ? If political rights be
moral rights, whero is there any dis.
tinetion of sex in morals ? Radical.
ism may be true, but It cannot stop
short of female suffrago and be eon
sistent. It is not, then, surprising,
that in the very stronghold of radical.

I mA suffrage should first become an

To thse Aditor of the .News :
It was through the courtesy of a
friend that I got the opportunity of
readling your comnments upon my cal
culations on the decrease of the negro
majority in South Carolina. My im
pression is that your statistics of the
nlegro in .slavery arc very unsafe
to rely npon, in drawing inferences as
to the negro in frcedomi. My idea is
that the negro needs sonmc tecided
personal '"control in order to save him
from his own indolence and improvi
dence ; and that needing this now in
his freedom and while in contact with
a superior race, he is destined to re
trograde and in time to die out.
This result will come about through a
variety of causes all operating in the
same direction. I will mention a few
of these.
1st. The greater mortality of no.
groes than of whites. According to
the last census the mortality of blacks
is one in sixty.six ; and that of whites,
one in seventy.six.
2d. The less increase of negroes
than of whites. According to the
census of 1860, the rate of increase in
the colored population of the United
States was 22 per cent. (among s'laves
nearly twice as great as among fr.ee
negroes) while the rate of increase of
the whites was 27 per cent. Ihave
the kindnesse to observe that there was
a difference of near.ly double1 in favor
of the slave over the free mian. There
are reasons f'or t.his-(l) the young
froedmian is not in such a hurry to
take upon himself the expense of a
family of childron, when h ecan live
qjuite as comfortable without It ; (2)
vice is increased by the new life the
negroes are permitted to lead (see the
criminal records); (8) idleness and
s1oth are unfavorable condition's to
oertility ; (4) so Is ov6rorowding 'and
5so is underfeeding ; and (6) that
lespondency that comes even to 4Jufw

WeC may wish that it' werc oth)or
wise ; but it appears to' me that the
facts are as 1 have stated, I am "not
hostile to thme negroes'' either. I am
not olpposed to them-as nogroes.I
am opposed to negro domination, how
ever. I do not want the negroes- to
make our laws, because I think they
are incompetent to do so. I do not
think It wise to dceed much pn ne

that they will make good laborers
But 1 amthe last n-.an to urge any in.
justice towardis them. WVe should
rather err on the side of leniency and
patience towards their short-comings.
But that is another matter, not con
neoted with the one in hand.
I am in favor of inviting immigra

bor alone will lpiorly dgvelop our
St ate-bechtise negro labor w ill not do
it ; and wvill not, simply because thme
negro .will net' work. A citizen of
