DAILY NEWS. OHAB LE8TON? SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 2, 18G5._ It would APPEAR, from publications from the North, that President Johnson designs visiting JUohmond, and we bcttorc wo express the common wish of our citizens in soliciting an extension of liin excursion to this place. Apart from the feed ing of personal satisfaction the occasion would in apta), it could Bcarcoly fail of advantages to us, and, perhaps, oven to tho whole country. To us it is of interest that the true ?tato of facts and fooling should bo known. Tho contest ended, thero is an honest and ?m anxious wish to accept tho situation precisely as it may be. But what it may be?what tho form in which it may he heat accepted?what precisely is incumbent cm us, and to what extent it may bo possible to comply with requisitions on this subject is not generally or accu rately conceived, and there is nothing that would ?o readily tend to tho full elucidation of these mat tors im tho personal presence and expressions of tho Chief Magistrate himself. Tuero scorn to be cemilioting views as to the oxact situation of tho South. Among organs of -public sentiment it would seem to bo assumed, by aomo, that (he States ave conquered, and that their highest obligations arc to abnegate tlicm aelvcs, to nbstain from any questions ?? to the in tentions of power respecting us; and, In fact, to Stand without the discourtesy or boldness of even a wish or purpoBC in reference to our futuro stato. 3Jy others it scorns to be assumed that, resistance ended, theso are not Provinces but States, con tinuing constituents of the Union; that it is not moro their privilege than their obligation, as such integral portions of the republic, to affirm them selves, und ?o whatever may bo incumbent and proper within that responsible position. There is, wo bolievo, no spirit of obstinacy amongst us: no disposition to contest the condition, whatever that may be; but to act in exercise of just those rigid a which belong to us in the situation in which we Lavo been placed, with an earnest wish to preserve our own internal order and woll-boing, and an cepiolly oaruest wish to advanco the welfare of our common country. - As to tho actions and coui?C of conduct that may be best, and most accordant with these ends, the President, from his central position, will be most competent to speak; as well from the por aonal and political character of that eminent ofli ccr as from his official position, he has come to be regarded as tho fair and just authority upon the ?ubjeet of our political course. It is believed he is not only most competent to say what must be done and what ought to be doue, but that he will bo influenced in his utterances by tho single pul poso to bring about the best and most permanent results for all; and at this time, when we arc about assembling in convention, with lit Mo light to guide ns, it is especially important that we should have tho countenance and counsel of that eminent au thority. Tho visit of tho President, if that should vSSST, would doubtless occasion tho visit also of our Provisional Govornor, whom also our citizens would bo glad to meet; and, wo arc assured, that happy offects, both to tho spirit and condition of our people, would result. It has been stated that measures have been taken by our leading citizens to extend an invita tion to tho President to so extend his visit, and wo truly hopo their action may be in time to accom plish that purpose, if in the present state of af fair's it bo possible. ? ? Street Railways. Among tho measures of public improvomont, first in ordor in tho resumption of business, we would certainly suggest tho work of constructing Street railways in our city. JJoforo the war the want was felt, and we beliovo generally appreci ated, and it was in contemplation of active and outorpriaing mon to undertake tho work. Tho importance of such an cntcrpriso is as great now aa it was then. The considerations of convenience and economy in travel and transportation, of in convenience resulting from drays and other wheel -vehicles in our crowded atrcots, the noise, dust and damago to tho streets and ways, all operate -How as they did before, and as a measure of pub lic interest, therefore, there can be little question, wo presume, as to its utility. It happons, howev er, in this as in other matters, that tho men to oxocuto a work liko this are forced to consider lesa tho public utility than the private emolumenta of noch an enterprise. And it is to that question, therefore, we must address our remarks with any .prospect of success. We are impressed, however, with the belief that it will bo profitable. Certainly there is now a greater prospoot. of profit than there could have lieen at any other time. It ia reasonably certain that our population will bo larger than it has been. "JL'horo will bo a necessary tendency in tho colored race from all the region round about to rush to town. Whether they may have, or have not, any -cortain moans of making money thoy will risk it Jio matter how great the chanco against them. But very many will lind tho means of living. They will Uve on little. Their clothing will bo plain, if ?inch only can be had. Their food and lodging will not lie costly. With tho necessaries of subsistouco Ihoy will bo content, or they will put up with even leas, rather than leave tho excitements of tho city. And to mako tho meliorate fund for such a purpose, Ihoy will be ready for all tho little trades and han dicrafts that can possibly bo put in practice. Of ?uch a population this town has heretofore had no orporionee. The handicrafts men and women of Taris. Dublin, or Philadelphia, or Now. York even, constitute perhaps tho largest portion of their po pulation?of Paris and Dublin much tho largost, And that also would 'aecm to be the caso with Phil adelphia, from the fact that whilo, by tho cehsus of 1850, its exports wore only valued at about six mil lions, tho exports of Charleston woro valuod at .Just four times as much. It is cortain that the immense populationj?? 700,000 in Philadelphia could not be supported upon a trado whoso exporta woro only six million?. Or if ao, that Charleston ?mould have supported a much larger population on a trado the exports of which woro $24,000,000. Trade, thercforo, ia no necoaaary indication of tho aizo of a town. It ia only a kind of skeleton tor population to form on, and whether it shall ao form or not?whether this skeleton ahall bo fillod out to its full capacity of dovolopmont?doponda tipon tho question whetkor the conditiona of tho ?place aro aueh'aeUo sustain ita fuil aharo ofcollate ral pursuits? The condition? of thia city havo not boen auch hitherto.: The trado of Charleston, hitherto, would havo been sufficient, for a popula tion of many hundred thousands; but othor condi tions did not concur. Thero ia reason to believe they will concur now. Of tho trado we havo had, it ia to bo expected that bnt a ppf tion will bo ro vivocl From tho chango in our labor ayatem, it ia unroaaonablo. ?o expect tljat our, four hundred .and fifty thousand bale* if'doiton- will all be re? etorod to us, at loast for many years; but rhuou of it will bo?enough, and moro than enough, to ?Uu. tain a population twice as largo as we have over Jkad. ' "':' . ._ ?,..,. . ' . . _ : That population Wo will, havo, and it will bo a population moro profitable to railroads than such *ej we have had.

We hope, thevi'forc, that this will meet the ?>ye of Home enterprising man or men. who, while will ing to help themselves, are also willing to bo kliown as public benefactors, and that tho mea sure may be taken heartily in ham1.. It will not bo wanted imineiliatcly, but it will be wanted before it can be completed. -. ? We wf.uk pleased to notice, yesterday morning, tho appearance of our eotemporiiry, the Courier, I in an enlarged and most beautiful dress.

Louisiana Politics? TUE " CON3EUY.VTIVE " ttMOOaSL The " Conservatives " of Louisiana, who seoin to bo regaining all their former in?ueuce in that Stale, liavo just issued a circular address, laying ?lown a platform and proposing the organization of "Conservativo" clubs. The platform proposes tho support of tho Union, the administration of President Johnson and the reorganisation policy I of Governor Wells: tho maintenance of the right of eulTrago as now established by the Constitution of Louisiana, in opposition to the dictation of Con gress, or its extension to the colored population; the sustaining all rights of the State as thoy ex isted before tho war, except slavery; opposition to religious ?piestions in politics, and secret political organizations ; and full and complete amnesty relative to the late secession. It has been report ed that the man acting as Mayor of New Orleans under Govoruor Wells' appointment, is included under the last hoad, having been a rebel editor. The StateExecutivo "Conservative" Committee accordingly recommend tho ' Conservatives" of every representative district and parish to organ ize Conservative clubs, representatives of which shall bo members of the State Convention. This Conservative patty appears to be made up of old citizens of the State, who were hugely in sympathy with the secession movement ami the administration of the late Governor MoortE. Condition of Southern Fl'cctlmen. Tho Mobile Register, of the 9th inst., says on this subject: "Now, what arc the facts patent to all men here, Northern or Southern, who seo with unprejudiced eyes"' Take this city. It is full of negro servants, yet we believe we are within the bonds of truth when we allege that nearly ?mc-hnlf the families iu this city are without cook's in their kitchens. Tho negro women find it too hot to cook at this soason of the ?roar. They refuse to work for the really high wages which*families aro anxious to pay for their services. Stopping with a gentleman into his houso yesterday, he pointed to the pavement in front of his dwelling; lie remarked, the only way I can got these pavements swept is to do it myself. I cannot hire a servant to do anything. He was a man of fortuno, lived like a gontleman, and was a kind, good master to his servants. Inside the houso the gentleman's wife informed us that she had no cook, and that a boy she had hired from the Frecdnieu's Bureau was ill with fever, and she had to nurse him herself. In the great majority of I cases, when a negro servant can be prevailed upon to enter your service, ho is so idlo and so stutTe?! with false notions of his freedom, that they are rather a burthen than a help to the faniilv. "With these facts beforo us, wo read paragraphs in the radical press like tho following from one of their organs in St. Louis; "It is, perhaps, worthy of notice, that Virginia, so long distinguished for her pretension to supe rior civilization, is probably tho worst of all the rebol States in the treatment which is pursuetl to wards the emancipated blacks, lier slavi-holdum appear to excel in tho ingonuity of their expedients to rob tho poor negroes of their labor, without rendering tnem more than tho shadow of remune ration, and to make their condition as freemen in tolerable. It is even charged upon them that, in ecrtain localities, they have adopted the policv of turning their servants, who have worn themsnlvcH out iu doing their bidding, upon the world to perish, without care and without protection." So far from "robbing tho poor negroes of their labor," tho dimculty is to got thoir labor, for wa ges whioh would bo doomed exorbitant at the North. The South is full of work to be done, and in cities and on plantations the cry is for laborers for a liberal compensation. In the face of this de mand, tho negroes are roaming about the country or clustering around the towns picking up a pre carious existence, and, as a natural conaeqnence, sickening and dying by thousands. A gentleman jiiBt from Memphis tells us that 25,000 of these Noma?la arc squatted around the outskirts of that city, the men doing nothing, and the women dc peiiilent on what thoy can gam from the troops. Sickness and death aro holding high carnival* in their midst. And do we of the South not pity those poor people? From the bottom of our heart's wo do. . ? ? The London Times on the Negko.?Tho London Times speaks as follows of the present condition of the negroes : Helpless, impulsive, ignorant, with little pay mont to expect for regular work, with ease, new found liberty, ami opportunity to tempt them to violence and "plunder, can we wonder ir the exist ing industry.of the South has very little to hope from the assistance of tho black freedmuii, and if, on" the" other hand; the groat mass of the slaves seems destined to perish iogether with the system which, if it tyraunizod over, brutalized, and de graded thorn, had, at any rate, tho merit of pro viding them with food, lodging antl clothing. It is easy for a viotorious Government by a few words to strike off tho fetters of tho slave, and suddenly dislocate and dostroy tho industry of a whole community, but it is not easy for it to find an .answer- to -this awful question, which it has raised for itself, hud which every day more and morb lmportunoly demanda an-auswer. J * ? < Who is the Governor o? Louisiana??The Now Orleans Picayune of tho 19th says : "The statement first published in Washington, and communicated by Washington correspondents to Northern journals, that Governor wells has beon appointed Provisional Governor of this State, has not been confirmed, thus far, by any official no tijlcatiqnjo Die (ipnernort Ho has received no in timation of his appointment., exoopt what is statod in thopapera. Thoro is a difficulty in the way of Gov. Wolla'a appointment which wo imagino is the causo of tho delay, and is a source of no little em barrassment. His present tenure rests upon the oloction hold under tho Constitution of 1864. In his first proclamation, issued after his return from Washington, somo two months ago, Gov. Wells rocngnizod the Constitution of 18(34 as still binding upon the people of tho State, and has made bis ap pointments and shaped his administration accord ing to its provisions. His appointment as Provi sional Governor, on a footing with Governors Sharkoy, Barry ..and. Helden, would ho a virtual setting aside of the Constitution of 1864." i ?> ? . Sonio of the English statistics for the past year arn of interest. The cost of tho police amounted in round numbers to ?1,700,000, or ?43,000 in ox cess of 1863. In England and Walos thoro woro 100,067 cases of drunkenness or drunk?m behavior, against 94,745 in 1868. In England alone 51,058 offences, groat and small, were committed, 28.704 persons woro arrested, and 18,220 appeared boforo tho courts. Coroners verdiots woro passed upon 1337 suicides?968 men, 859 womon. The average for the six yoars?1858-'68?establishes a propor tion of 67 suicides te a million of Inhabitants. Elcvon mon were married subsequent] v to a di vorce, and nino women. Half of these" instances occurred in. London. The oxa?t age of nearly two-thirds of tho couples married was aeoertaineu.
