A victory for that party waa expected oa all bands; but the smallness of the majority is a very gratifying fact. A retrospect will show how far this ma? jority indicates a victory for law, order and in? telligent rule. On the 17th of April, 1868, the. new constitution was submitted to the people, and Bichland County gave 2501 votes for and 1248 against the constitution-a Radical or ne? gro majority of 1253. On the 2d of June, the same year, an election of oonnty officers was held, in which the Radicals cast 2258 votes to 1152 by the whites-a majority of 1106. In November came the Presidential election, in J which there was a grand rally of both parties; the Radicals cast 2476 and the whites 1389 a majority of 1087. In the election of coun? ty officers, coroner and school commissioner, held last Tuesday, the Radicals cast 1260 rotes, and the whites 958-a majority of 802. [snot that a triumph of law and order?-so ieoided a gain as to be full of the best hopes ? la these four contests the scale of decreasing Badical majorities has bena-1258, 1106,1087, VXL The increasing loss of the Radical ma? jority ia-147,166, 951. It will be apparent that the aggregate vote of the negroes bas fallen off vastly sinos Novem? ber-from 2476 down to 1260, nearly one-half. This is due is part to the minor importance of ?e positions to be filled; bat, in addition to that, there is a manifest weariness of political nettement growing upon the negro. He has Deon brought up to the polls so often with aromises of bacon md oura, (not to mention ie acres and the male,) and the bacon md oom have so invariably failed to come, bat he is losing faith in euch promises, further, the issue last Tuesday was one fairly jet ween the races; white men were, pitted against negroes. There was W. T. Walter .gainst 8. B. Thompson, negro, for coroner; md A. R. Bude against N. E. Edwards, negro, br school commissioner. However little the community may be dis joaed to g^ouieeoo in the ree alta-Thompson, legro, coroner, and Edwards, negro, school ?ommissioner-everybody rejoices in the fact bat negroes have been elected rather than ?.bite adventurers from abroad, or tba even Dare obnoxious renegades who are striving to pain position by their treachery to their own ?opie, The nearer we draw the less power the negro ?arty bas. In the County of Richland^ the legro majority is 302; in (J J1 um bi a township six miles square) the resalte were evenly di ided-three officers elected by each party last reek; and in the City of Colombia the whites lia ve control of all municipal elections.

Pursuant to ordere, the soldiers of the pr? ison here, assisted by the colored obiidren of he Howard School for Freedmen, last Satur lay dressed the gravee of the Federar soldiers, rho died or were killed here during the war. lusic, a procession, wreaths of flowers, a irayer, and some siDging by the negro school bildren, made up the exercises of the occa ioD. This was ell proper enough. Respect or the dead is well. The taste of making the legroee so prominent in the ceremony is, per laps, not the best; and so will think many a Tnion soldier wbo took part in these prooeed DgB. Bot then, that is only a question of astvanwiaeteediffer. - ' The orders und?r' which this ceremony was tendooted emanated, at this point, from one 7. J.

A FREE EMPIRE. [From the Imperialist, May 29 ] Some or our most t nought fal and consider ate contemporaries complain that the fmperi alist, while pointing to a strong central govern ment as the only cure for the troubles of the nation, does so io vague and general terms, without explaining fully what we propose. The complain t is in part just, but only in part. It is difficult, in the outset of a discussion involving snch vast, varied and complicated interests, to deter mme tts limite or deo l are its results. We have, in short, no "cut and dried" Utopia to offer or describe, and prefer to deal simply with great central ideas. We regard the cause of good?overment ii Europe as pro? gressing favorably, but not only the origin and past history of the existing empires of the Old World, ont their present condition are suoh ss to preclude u J from referring to any of them, exceptas to particular fea tai es, for ex? emples ot the successful working of our princi? ples. Like our own nation, they are too hea? vily encumbered with the wrecks and rubbish of the past, and, like them, we shall find our own development the slow and painful result of thought and labor. Tho business to which the Imperialist has set itself is the pore and patriotic purpose of calling the thoughtful men of the Western Empire to the careful dis? cussion which alone can so prepare the way as to render sodden and disastrous convulsions unnecessary. As a sort of starting point for snob a discus? sion we present a few plain propositions. Onr government is cot now what onr fathers intended, nor what the pr?sent generation would have it. It has ceased to be in any true sense a re? public It is a "cancos government," as dis? tinguished from an aoiocracy, a limited mon? archy, or the representative hom which we m tended to establish. We have lost individual freedom and self government, without securing the strength which ia our due in the councils of the world, or obtaining a pore and vigorous administra? tion of our home affairs. i Our people are no longer fitted for self government- t hemiel ves folly recognizing that fiat-and have not only voluntarily snrreudeied that prerogative, bat have ceased to educate themselves therefor. The venality and corm otion in every depart? ment of public administration, the extrava? gance, oppression and lawlessness, have reached a point that is unendurable^ while nothing in oar present system offers us any hope tor the ru tore. The character of our population is yearly growing worse, with a prospect of receiving from Asia greater evils than wo have so indus? triously imported from Europe. Such a people cannot, in any true sense, be " represented" by men selected under the caucus method. Thus far we have little fear of any contradic? tion from thinking and observing men; but we most ge i arther. The idea of Empire does not necessarily im? ply tyranny, caste distinctions-other than the recognition of individual merit and snob in? heritance thereof as now exists and is inevit? able-nor does it require the abandonment by the people of all snch oontrol of their own lo? cal affairs as they are competent and willing to exeroise. Wo care very little for names, for a compari? son of our condition with lUat vt mVUm yaa^. pies too dearly show us their want of value. We desire the establishment of a central gov? ernment whioh will be strong enough to hold this continent together, and steadily adjust the now jarring interests of the different sec? tions ana races. Koah a government should have supremo oontrol of our foreign relations and of all admioistration not rarely local and municipal. The determination of the limite of its power and tho methods of its action must be left for future deliberation, bot is au important theme for present discussion. - We deem it certain that under such a gov? ernment we. should secure a more substantial and beneficial representation of all classes and all interests than is possible ander the present canons system. The rights of minorities would be more se? cure, and fondamental Inw* wau Ka ?kioueci from assault by the interests of the eorormne ppirar i IDOTI. ' I The indi vidual charac ter of the ruler for the time being is ot far less importance than the nature of the institutions of whioh he would farm bat the heed and represent Hive. If the Emperor-in oise he should ba BO named happened to be a weak or a bad man, he would be far less powerful for evil than a vicious President or a turbulent and venal Congress, nor cook) be by any insane escape a perpetual responsibility to the people. His realm wonld be too vast for the exeroise of the minute op? pressions which we now groan under, and bia reign might be truly said to continue "daring good behavior." Among the benefits of snch a form of govern? ment waabelieve we should secure a pore judi? ciary; a simplification and redaction of taxa? tion; an economical administration of the en? tire civil service; amore extended and judi? cious system of internal improvement, and an accelerated national gcowth and development, with a careful proteouon of the nations 1 honor, at home and abroad. In return tor these s .u, many mere advantages wo should surrender notruDg but the Yankee Doy's traditional chance of becoming President, and the insane delusions that we govern ourselves and live m a Republic. From years of careful observation, combined with large experience In the administration of publio affairs, we have arrived at the definite conolosioo that oar country is stead'ly and surely Advancing toward a point where the con? tinuance of the existing frauds will beoome no longer possible, and an Empire, in some shape, inevitable. To our minds this proposi? tion hardly admits of argument, so clearly manifest are the signs of the times. It is onr aim, therefore, in tbe work to which we are devoting so much time and money, and in which we aro tunning such risks bf personal obloquy, if not of mob vio? lence, to begin a coarse of agitation which shall accustom oar fellow-citizens to look tho truth in the face and to make such wide propa tions for the coming change as shall causo it to be gradual, peaceful, and unaccompanied by convulsion! We see before us still, in spite of the fear? ful evils which grow so riotously from the fa ik corruption of the day, the posai bii it y of the creation of che most perfect and durable gov? ernment which the world has yet seen-one whose freedom would prevent us from envying tho days of YT, shin s toa, and whoso duration might yet throw into the sh adc tho gathered years of China. Con tunes will bo required for the assimilation of the conglomerate popula? tion of this continent and the ajustaient of its vast and varied interests, and for tbat develop? ment those centuries mast cover an era of comparative internal peace and wise adminis? tration. That peace is no longer, if it ever bas been, attainable nuder our persent system, t>nd wo demand and shall work tor the aboli? tion of this "thing of shreds and patches, "and tue establishment of a power which shall bo feared and honored abroad, at the samo time that it is loved and respected at homo.

John Chinaman in America-Rapid in. flax ot the Celestial* to the Pacific Coast-Their Value as Workers and Railroad H Hilders-An Important Kle? ment In oar Future P?pala tl n. . The Metropolitan Record thus speaks of the Chinese laborers which are flocking to this country in great numbers: The Mongolians are coming to stay. They are also coming to work. For that matter, indeed, we are told that between forty and fifty thousand of them are already bard at work on and along the line of the great Pa? cific Railroad. The mining districts of Califor? nia swann with them, and the universal tes imo ny as regards their in dost ry, enterprise, and peaceable dispositions, is altogether in their favor. .. - ?. * . * . We have spoken of the multiplication of the Chinese on tbe Pacific. From San Diego to aitka. and back to Montana, Idaho Nevada, Arizona, and throughout all that continuous stretch of conntry of which B?u Francisco is the commercial enntre, we are told, they are everywhere to be found. Eveiy town and hamlet has its "China-town." Their industry is mos tr remarkable. Mining, clothes-wash? ing, and kindred occupations were the first branches of industry in which they engaged; but of late years there bas been a great increase in the variety of their employments. Tn the construction of the San Jose Railroad, in I860, it was discovered that they were chean and effective road ouilders; the Mission and Pioneer Woollen Mills found that they made rlr-t-olass factory operatives, and now they are rapidly obtaining employment wherever pa? tient manual labor, without any great amount of brain work, is requisite. Large numbers are engaged as servants in families, hotels, taking tbe place of girls in obamber work and and cooking, io which they become very expert. A large proportion of the immigra? tion consist? of boys from ten to sixteen years of age, who are immediately put out to ser? vice in families, where they soon pick up a knowledge of the language and of household duties. In tact, the Chinese are rapidly monopoliz? ing employment m all the lighter branches of industry usually allotted to women, snob as running sewing machines, making paper bags, and boxes, binding shoes, labelling and pack? ing mediemos, Ac. They are willing and anxlooa to learn any thing and everything that may prove of pecuniary value to them, and in spire of the d fficutties which their tola! or par? tial ignorance of the language imposes, their [>atience and imitative faculties enable them to earn to work with surprising facdity; and close observers of their habits do not hesitate to say that there is not any manual trade in which tbey could not become workers in a rea? sonable time. Tbepo strangers are said to become Ameri? canized-so to speak-very* rapidly. They learn to buy and selL to labor, according to American modes, just as they discard the um? brella-shaped hat, wide drawers, and thick pa? per shoes, for the felt hat, pantaloons and boots; but they retain all their essential habite and modes of thong':' t just as they retain theil coes. The Chinaman running a sewing machine, driving a sandoart, or firing an Omrme tn- ? i.. ^-iia^iBiuBt as essentially a Chinaman as his brotner^mop-?? *ta other side ol the Pacific, is working in tbe same way, and with tbe same implements as his fa the? s worked a thousand yeats. Much bas been eaid of his immorality, and especially c" ::is proneness to lie and cheat; bot if he can neat the Yankee Punt J n in that line of business, be must, indeed, be a bad fellow. Oar own im? pression is, that his infirmities in that respect have been exaggerated; but even were it other? wise, we repeat, be is as deserving of political rights, Ac, Ac. The Ban Fraafciaoo Times, speaking on the same subject, says:"* It is a significant fact that at tbe laying of the last rail on the Pacific Railroad John Chi? naman occupied a prominent position. He it ?U riiur -ou|aijt*a?fM ? aja^a, ?, be who fin-1 ttMiry'-Se^nVrai Pacific' RaTlVol^m.W? j not now have been carried eastward of the Sierras. The experitnee of this undertaking has proved that tbe Chinaman ia an admirable railroad builder. His labor is cheap, his tem? per is good,"his disposition ia docile, his indus? try is unflagging, hiB strength and endurance are wonderful, and bis mechanical skill is re? markable. There are Chinamen in the em? ploy rf the Central Pacific Company who are more clever in aligning roads than many white men who have bsen educated to the business, and these Mongols will s ti ike a truer line for a longer distance with the unassisted eye than most white men can with the aid of instru? mente. A good deal of nonsense has been talked about tho Chinaman's want of stamina, and his inferiority to the white laborer in point of strength and capacity for work. The Cen? tral Railroad has pretty thoroughly settled that point; for numerous expenments have been made during its construction, with a vi3 w to test the respective capabilities of the two races. On one occasion a party of Irish? men and a party of Chinamen were pitted against each other in blasting a hard rock for a tunnel. Bets were freely made that the whito men would come ont winners; bat at the ead of tho day, when the work of each party w s measured, it was fonnd that John China? man had burrowed further into tbe rock than his antagonist, and was, moreover, less fa? tigued. The bauds of Chinamen now organ? ized by the Central Company are as fine railroad builders as can bo found anywhere. The offi? cers of the Union Pacific Road were amazed at tho work these fellows did, and it is by v.o means impiobablo that our Eastern friends will endeavor to secare some of these trained gangs for the next railroad enterprise in which they may engage. Many of the Obinese bosses, or boaJs of gangs, on tue Pacific R lilror-d, are very intelligent men, and a few days si nea we were present when ono of these entered a car and engaged in a conversation then going on, speaking good English, and showing an exten? sive acquaintance with railroad matters. It is well that we sbonld beor in mind the great as? sistance that the Chin?se have afforded to tho Pacific Railroad, and that we should remem? ber the difficulties which their presence dissi? pate?. Tho training they have received on that road has given to California a large bo ly of men peculiarly adapted to this description of work, and it has rendered comparatively easy the carrying out of othor enterprises of the same character. They will probably bo largely employed in tho construction of ibo California and Oregon Railroad, nov. about to bo entered upon; and while they do not pre? vent the engagement of white men, they will facilitate enterprises wbich might bu impracti? cable, lacking their aid. Tho Chinaman is a born railroad builder, andassueh he is des? tined to bo most useful to California, aud, in? deed, to the whole Pacific slope. TUE SIAMESE TWINS, AGAIN. Can they bc Separated and Live 1-The Result of a Surgical Examination. [From thc London Star. | Sir James Simpson, tho Prolessor of Medi? cine and Midwifery in the University ol' Edin? burgh, bas examined very minutely and from every point of scicutilic m erest these twins, and lias delivered a lo-turo to tho students of j tho University class on theso and other record? ed ciaos ot united twins, of whom they aro in many respccls tho most remarkable on record. In this lectutp, which he publishes iu tho Bri? tish Medical Journal, he gives first thou- his? tory and description. Chang and Eng or as thoy now siga themselves. Chang and Eng Bun? ker, are now fiity-cight yeare of age. They were two of several children, tho rest being natuially formed. When infants thoy were attachent lace to face, but instill eli vc" efforts from thc earliest ago have so far elong at ed the band as to enable them to adopt au imperfeoi lateral relation to each other. Xhey ?ir : short but wiry-looking men; Eng, thc taller of the two, being only five loet two and a half inches -Chang an inch shorter. Ihey uso the outer legs more than the inner, by standing, :ind these are the larger in circumference. There is no inversion of position of tho heart and other organs, os Professor Allen Thompson, of Glasgow, has shown to bo the genoral law in relation to united twins. Mealier or t.he res? pirations nor circulations of the twin brothels aro synchronous. Examined in Edinburgh b \ Dr. Aitken, when thev were suffering from in? fluenza tho pulso of one was twenty-tour beat.-* to the mtuir e quicker .ban the ether. Examin? ed thia week in London by Sir Henry thompson and Mr. Ennest Heart, there was lesa differ? ence-four pulsations in the mame. In tboir chemical as well as then: organic func? tions, they are shown by Sur James Simpson to be two separate and distinct rodfvid J ney can walk, swim and mn; they are sportsmen, aDd Rood shots; intelligent, informed, and good men of basioess. ' are naturally muon accustomed to join ii same conversation, but can each easily c on a conversation with two different iodii als. They sometimes raad separately; eat himseir, more often one aloud to the ol Their minds, indeed, are more dual than t bodies; the latter are united together, bul former are not. The baud of union is for partly by the extension of the cartilages ol breast bone; it is four inches and a half and eight inches and a half in eircurofere When the twins have suffered from blooi eases, as small-pox, measeis, ague, they 1 been affected simultaneously. Neverthel from experiments which Sir James Bimi has made with drugs, he concludes the vascular connection between the brothers is comparatively very small, the question of the surgical separation of Siamese Twins, "Chang and Eng," saya James Simpson, "have themselves no desir be surgically divided from each other, some or their relatives and families have come anxious that they should be separat e< it were possible to do so. The operatio certainly possible, and would be attended v little, or indeed, no difficulty, but it wooli so perillous in its character, that the tv could not, in my opinion, be justified m s mitring to it, or any surgeon bejustrflei performing it." He then enters into detaih justify this opiaion. Chang and Eng are n ried to two BiBters, the daughters of an Am can clergyman. Each brother has nine c dren. Tbetomtty of Eng consists of six . and three daughters; the family of Chong c sists of three sons and Bix daughters. Tt first children were born within three or f days of eaeh other; the others at irregular tervals. Chang's ninth child was born th months ago. Sir W. Ferguson has carefully examined twine, aDd, ve understood, concurs in i general opinion of Burgeons that any sargi separation would be most likely attended w fatal consequences, not so much on account any obstacle presented bv the structure of t uniting band of flesh as the moral effect of I disunion on the two brothers.
