The Graut Policy to the South. It has been now over four vearis since reconstructioi, and the policy of (-'cn. (irant in the reconstructed States, says the Charleston Rtpubli cli, has become a matter of history, and can be gathered by i diagnosis of the condition of thes., unfortunate in valids. In every State so circumstanced where the (f~ort could lie made, Northern men have~ beeni foisted uiponi the unintelligent peoploe and1 taxpay ers, through the ignorance and prejn dic of the colored vuter by the Nan ional A d inistration. In Tenneflss~ee this did niot succed. Antd owinig to the superioirity of G en. Alcorn, who roso~ equal to the occasion, ini Mi~slsisippi it onily partiailly gained a footlihld. liut ini every other State, lie people really interested In the prosperity andl aldvanceenit of the maiteriail i ntecrests t herein, have seen the "'llulo of the Stranger," oppress ing them witih heavy taxation, turning uniees inltenided for proteetion, into denis oif robbery, and burdens upon thos~e who would sustalin the law, and preserve the rights of the colored man from violation. We can readily inifer from the per. tiniacity with which General GIraint '"lights it out on this line,'' that lie will conitinuoi to (10 so, wrhenever lie has1 an1 opp~ortunliit y, ''if it takes himi aill snmmiiiier."' lie hans atlreadly, in L ouisiana , had his C'ustomi Iouse (1(1. cials backed by his bayonets, to nm inate Kellog, a N orthierni man, for Governor.

Wheur in 1868 and 1870, theo color ed man voted for those nmen, it was with hearts brimfull of gratitude for the hiunanitarianism they claimed for eomancipiation, anid with aln abiding hope that the samoe noble spirit would lead thoem out of their troublecs into rpeaceable relbtion wmth thse ...h and the fourth of March next, quite t a number of Governors und other dig. I nitaries, who in the absurd name of Republicanism and loyalty, have for 1 years been piling debts and taxes c upon their war wasted States, will follow the wholesome example of ( Bullock, of Georgia, and seek the shadesof private life.

Stions of the boys were somewhat dam. poned by the threatening appearance of the clouds. Old Sol, however, soon made his appearance and gave r promise of a bright and beautiful day. By 10 A. 31. a considerable crowd had collectcd under the arbor prepared for the occasion in front of the school house. The exercises be Sgal With the exain ,ation of the pi Wary cl:as.es in spelling, reading, &c., which, ats a i itter of course, wits most interesting to the parents of the pupils. The more advauced in grain ner, geography, arithmetic and alge. bra, showed consideruble proliciency and particularly in the two latter, a r thorough acquaintance with both the k, theory and practical application of the e science of nutumbersi wais manifested. In their ex-rcises on the black board there was no parrot-like repetition of rule, but an intelligent application ii of t he principles onl which rules are I baeed. In this they bore testiiony to the faithfulness and eiliciency of their teacher, 'rare virtues in these - lItter days. A t noon a rcess was allowed for dinner, and the character e ist ic hospita lity of the citizens of P'ea 1 Ridge, in which they arc excelled by n tno other section, was shown in the Sbountifully supplied table.

The n'cessary steps, so anys a dis. patch from Raleigh to tIhe Star, which we puLlished yesterday, have been taken to contest the election whten the Legislature meets in No einber. The cry of fraud has risen in every 4ectioni of the State, and I udge M1er rimon is almost comelled by the united voice of an1 itidignait people to aontest the matter. There is no sort of donht but that thousands of ii. legal votes were cast *in the recent election. But our party will proceed with great deliberation, calmness and fairtness to ascertain the extent of these frauds, and bring themi before un honest, incorruptible and im part ial Legislaturo for investigationi alnd judgment.

A late official statement as to the present proportion of the Jewish to the earth's population shows that in Palestine the Israelites now form but a small community. From there they seem to have migrated to the northern part of Africa and to the region between the lower Danube and the Baltic, in which it is estimated there are about four inillioti Israel ites. Everywhere the race is report ed to be increasing. It is singular to note how widely they are scattered, and in what strange and ont-of-the. way corners they have settled down. Timubuctoo has a Jewish colony near ly all merchants. The other Jews in Africa ate the Falschas, or Abyasiau black Jews, aid a few European Jews at the Cape of Good 1lpo. There are numerous Ifraelite colonies in Yemen and Nedseran, in Western Arabia. It has long been known there are leraolites in Persia and in the countries on the Euphrates. In the Tuicoinan countries they inhabit the four fortresses of Scherisebs, Sobamatan, Kitab and Urta Kurgan, and thirty small v-illages, residing in a separate quarter, but treated on an equal footing with the inhabitants, though they hrve to pay higher taxes. Theie are also Israelites in China and Cochin China ; there are both white and black Jews. The white Jews haiv a tradition, according to which their numbering 10,000, set tied at Crauganore, on the coast at Malabar, after the destruction of the Temple, about the year A. D..79.
