J COLUMBIA, June 14.-The unfortnuate dispc Bition of the negro to idle receives daily exem? plification. Conspicuous anions the forms io which this shows itself is attendance on public business, when and where they bave no busi? ness. Tbo Court of Common Pleas and Gene? ral Sessions, Judge, Boozer, bas been in ses? sion here for tho past week, and the house, really insufficient in capacity, has been ciowded with negroes-rudo, ignorant, and offensive field hands-not one m ten of whom have a particle of busioess tbere. The auditorial Keals are filled from morning till nicht with these creatures, outnumbering the whites ten to one generally. To be thus in court is to be away from their work; but they snatch at every Buch opportunity of idling. The pretext urged by them is that they are interested in the pu* ties tried before tho court; and, in truth, this pretext is largely applicable, howevet insuffi? cient it may be, for the court has little before it except oases of larceny and assault and bat? tery by negroes. THE POSTOFFICE. Of a part with Charles ton's "Municipal mud? dle" is Columbia's postoffice puddle. 1 be re? lief in the latter that seemed likely a week ago is now hopeless, as you bave been informed. Wilder seems disposed to meet be wishes of the community, but being, as he is, in the shackles of a despotic political party, li eis powerless to do what he wishes. He found his party masters too strong to allow bi JD to fol? low the dictates of hi? better judgment, and has thus m i ese J one of the best oppoi lunities that has ever presented itself to one of his race. A week ago he bad it in bis power to secure and confirm tbe respect and gratitude ot a community that is daily becoming more power? ful for Rood or evil (for bim to determine which) to him and to hi? party. By securing this respect ha would have immensely advan? ced bis own position aud fortunes, and would have won possibly some respect aDd certainly some favor to his party; and his party may need both before he will wish to pass off thc sta^e. The plea that he xcisJud to do right will in future be of no avail to him. He saw the right and approved it, but the crack of tbe party whip unnerved him, and be trots into position with a servility that the slave Wilder Dover had to d >. The business embarrassments growing out of the present postal regime can hardly bo said to diminish much. One bjsicess house, E. & G. D. Hope, advertise a dozen loiters and pa? pers to as many different persons, (ton differ? ent initials) as awaiting owners at their iffice. These bad all somehow " got into the wrong box." This is one case. Doubtless a census of such wrong-box letters and papers all over the city4 would give us a heavy return, and ore anything but gratifying to the new postmaster, and one m,-y bo, in a slight degree, embarress ing to bis parly overseers. The jam at the general delivery is constant. I have not yet, at any hour ot the dar, seen tbe general delivery window without its anxious inquirers. MONETARY FACT8. There was sold here last Monday at auction a lot of open accounts, somo of many years' standing, and BJIBO Confederate, but altogeth? er amounting to the round sum of {800.000, which brought $105. An account of $1000 sold at the earne time tor $8. These are only two out of a number of similar items; but they Borve to show a condition of attain here that is apt to work som s modification in the old time credit system. EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY. One of the cases for highway robbery, tried in the court the past week, was the State vs. two of Governor Scott's pardoned convicts from the penitentiary. The guilt of tho par? ties was made out so clear that not a man present could doubt it, and the jury found them guilty accordingly. What next? Will his Excellency turn them loose again upon the community? They are, I understand, known desperadoes, as near professional as native tal? ent ever devel?nos into. A week ago bis Ex? cellency extended his executive clemency to six? teen convicts in the penitentiary at ono merci? less swoop of mercy. The State thus loses their services for awhile, but probably not for very long. Juries will send thou, up again DO doubt in due season. The reason assigned for this lund of executive work is that these negiocs may, by being pardoned, escape the Disfran? chising clause io the criminal law. It is very merciful of his Exoellenoy, especially when we remember that he is to be a candidate for this pardoning office next term. There are only three classes of society that object to this del? uge of clemency-the respectable prftion of the community, tho prospectivo victims of these felons, aad tba prospective rival candi? dates for tbe governorship. JCir. then this Scott-ocracy can be carried on, as ii hu been, pretty muoh without any of th33e three eli 3 ^es ITEMS. Horace Greeley, in a scries of articles which 1x3 is publishing on pol?tica.' economy, uiges the cultivation of tea in the South.

The Bo ard of Trustees of tho University of South Cirolina hold a meeting to-Light. Judge Zephaniah Platt has purchased a re? sidence in this city, and, it io said, intends to live here. This Judge Platt is an old man, and known to famo for his bailing some negroes in Edgefield some mouths ago. when tbe circum? stances were so strong against thenegioes that the community was astonished and mauv in dignant at tho course of the Judge in granting the bail. A Federal soldier wis reported to have been drowned gaturdiy in Bock Hole, a lakelet iwo miles below Columbia, and search was made for the body, but without success. His clothes were left on the back, ?nd his companion points out the spot wbere be sank. Tbere is, however, an impression in the community that the soldier has deserted, and this drowning ie a ra-e to gain time. A tew days will decide whether thf-re is a coi pan in the water or not. The "XIX Century" is being received by our com munn v with great favor. This comes not of the fact that it is Sonihern, for that is rather against it it seems, but of the tact that it is what the peo ule wane-something spark? ling, alive and vaned. CO&SAXB, THE IRREPRESSIBLE NEGRO. The Mechanics and Workingmen Alarmed-Negro Labor vs. White La? bor-The Albany Resolutions-The Negro Postmaster at Macon, Georgia. The persistence and seeming success with which the negroes in Washington are thruming themselves forward socially as well as poli t ic ally, is beginning t> excite disgust on all sidos at North, and the evil is rapidly assuming a mag? nitude that must bring with it erelong its own remedy. A Washington letter to the Bal? timore G tz?tte says : The mechanics and workingmen here, as well as throughout the country, are becoming justly alarmed at the evident purposes of the administration. They see in the persistent policy or introducing into the workshops of the government utteilv incompetent negroes, a de? sign rather to r .'duce the white operatives to a level with the lowest class of humanitv than to elevate the negro to a higher office. They also see in the proclamation of the Executive, mak? ing e'ght hours a day's work, only a bid to in? duce the white man in government employ? ment to submit to the degradation of negro companionship and social equality wherever the power of the government can be exercised. They even see further, and have concluded that this "bid" can only affect laborers in pub? lic employment, outside of which, if operative at all, it must serve merelv to create difficulties between the employers and emploved in private life. The Navy Department is observed to be very prominent in this business. Under a spread eaglo caption it ie officially announced this morning that the ''admission of colored men to all branches or woik under the government in th s district now appears to bo established as a rule. In th J navy yard colored men have already been employed in the bricklayers' and joiners' gangs, and yesterday James Cooper, ? of Baltimore, was given employment as a ma? chin?t-the first colored man employed in work of that character." Per contra. The New York Herald (whoso editor, whatever may bo otherwise thought or said of him.) is admitted on all hands to have a prodigiously long nose, thus discourses of a decision of a Printers' Conven ion: "The Printers' National Convention at Al? bany, by a vote of fifty six to twenty-eignt, laid on the table a resolution tor abolishing all distinctions of race aDd color in the craft. This means that tho distinction of color ls to be enforced as an objection to the black man; and as it is with the pi inters so it will be with all the other Trades' Unions. They will all be arrayed against negro equality in their workshops, and the administration before long will heir from them at tho noils." It is difficult, if not impossible, jnst now, in writing from this quarter, to steer clear of the nauseating subject of the everlasting Degr >. Nothing else is legislated upon. Nothing cleo seems to engage the attention and caro of this statesmanlike admimstrrlion. You must, therefore, bear with mo. A negro named furner was recently appointed postmaster at Macon, Ga., wnose character was as bluck as his skin. To this bour the influence that ope? rated upon the Prosident to mage the appoint? ment is unknovo. and excites the liveliest cu? riosity. A few days ago a . delegatioa," rep? resenting what waa termed "all tho respectabili? ty thero IB io tbe Radical party in the Stato of oeorgia. waited upon his Excellency, and "rep? resented" the man's (ruo character, demon strafing that if be were a white m in, instead of itlorving in tho fashionable color, he would long sino* have been consigned to some secure penitentiary rather than to tho management of the United States mails. On the authority ot one of this respectable delegaci?n I- can st tte that Goneral Ora t solemly promised lurnci's immediate .'suspension." But wo aro now in? formed officially that he has since vacillated. '.The report," says the organ, "that thc Presi? dent had gi en orders for the suspension of Turner, recently appointed at Hf cou, Ga., is untrue, or least premature, as no action in the matter had taken plao oy tho Executive up to 8 o'clock T. M., yeaterday." The President left the city at 9. A Negro Mayor for Washington-Aris? tocracy among the Darkles. The following dispatches from the Washing? ton correspondent of tho New York Herald, gives some further indications of the drift of the black current at the National capital : The next move of the colored Republicans of this city is to be an effort to elect- ono of their race, John F. Cook, as Mayor of Wash? ington, (look has just been elected registrar, one of the most important offices iu the city, and is quite au advanced darkey, possessing education, tact and a faro share of fortune. His colored brethren say they must have him as their next mayor, at every hazard. 2 hey contend that they do all the heavy voling and elect all tbe Republican candidates, and there? fore are entitled to control something better than the mere rogistrarship and a few al? dermen and councilmen. Cook, though pop? ular with most of the old colored settlers, looks down upon the poor blacks, and particu? larly i he Virginia contrabands, whom he thinks unfit for decent colored society. It is said that during I iocolo's time Cook advised Old Abe not to allow the contrabands to come to Wash? ington, on tho ground that it would ruin busi? ness. How this will go down with his colored citizens remains to be seen. Major Richards, the superintendent of PoliC3. was a pretty prominent candidate for the Mayoralty until the not ou Monday lost. It is believed that his prompt action to suppress that little dis? order has destroyed b.s hst chanco of success, and that Co ile will certainly get the nomina? tion and be elected. It is remarked hero that while tho blacks are clamoring for admission to the theatres OD the while level, they do not practice the same equality in their deal? ings With each other. Thus tho most fash? ionable barbers hero aro colored m<-n, who will on no account descend to shave a darkey. Their reason is, perhaps, not that they object on their own account, but because it wou>d ruin their white custom. Stewart, who was elec ed Alderman of the First Ward on Monday, is a colored m in and a barber, and was objected to by some of his race becausa bo would not let negroes be shaved and cut in his artistic establishment. "Do you think I'm go? ing to vote for a colored man because he ?8 a R -publican, when he thinks us not respectable enough to b^ shaved in his store?" was the sharp answer of Borne of the colored voters whoso ballots was asked for Stewait. It is the same thing in the restaurants. Many of them are kept by colored men and have the most respectable white patronage. Of course they dec i ne to allow Sambo to squat at the samo tables with their white customers. Thus, lt mil be seen, that the theatre question is cot the only one that will create trouble, and that that trouble is likely to recoil ou the black him Thc Washington Negroes Determined to Claim Seats In the Theatres on Equal? ity with thc Whites. lt ww telegraphed by ccilain correspond? ents dav before yesterday that uo danger would grow out of tho law recently passed hy tno lluuicipal Council of this city, compelling the admission of colored people toull pluces of amusement ou an equality with whites. Tuc reason assigned was that ibo colored people had determined not to thrust themselves oflou Bively upou tho whites. Tho following kiter, writtcu to a VYashiugton paper by John F. Cook, a colored mau, just elected registrar of this city, suows that at least some colored peo? ple intend to avail themselves fully of tho rigbtB guaranteed them under thtB new ar? rangement: "3b ihe Editor of ihc Chronicle : "I see by an item iu your local columns that Messrs. John t\ Cuok aed Caner A. Stewart called on tho munagcrs of tho National Thea? tre and assurod them that tho colored peoplo had no intention of attempting to gain ad? mittance to any part of sal I theatre except the gallene*. This statement, as fat as I am con? cerned -and 1 might say tor Mr. Stewart-is wholly false. I never was in the theatre in my life, tor tho reason ot its making the distinction on account ot color; and, having labored long and earnestly to break down such de.radtcg barriers, I um the last man to sbamo a record of which I am proud, and shall avail myself often of the privilege that 1. with others, have h bored to secure for the colored people of .onr city. I have no compromise or truco to mike ou this matter with any manager or anybody else. Respectfully. &e., JOHN F. COOK. ' More Negro Outrages. On Monday night the h.mae of Charles Stuart, the colored citizen, on M-street, near Thirteenth, was entered by a c-owd of black scamps who wantonly destroyed Dearly all the furn it ui e and bedding on the premises. Stuart and bid wife were absent at the time, the one in the Central Guardhouse for safety, tbe other with her frienda in t?e Seventh Ward, night Hr.

THE HOTEL WAITERS' STRIKE. Ita Complete Fallare- The Victorious l'r op ri i-f 01 ? IC ?fuse to It r-c m plo y thc Strikers. The "strike" ot Ihe hotel waiters in New York has coma to an end, and in a most clisas tious manner for tho men, as they not only failed to accomplish the object for which they set out-an increase of wages-but the .hotel proprietors absolutely refuse to employ the strikers under any consideration, and the lat? ter now flud them <elves out of employment at the dullest part of the year for city hotels. The Kew York Post says : Finding that there was little chance of co? ercing tho landlords, tho waiters held a meet? ing on Monday night, and adopted a resolu? tion permitting members ot the society to work tor anybody and for tho highest wages to be obtained, thus acknowledging their defeat. YcBtcrdiy and to-day tho old waiters presented themselves bf f?re t?icir loi mor employers, und asked to bc takeu buck, many of them express iog regret tor thoir action, and promising lo dissolve nil connection. With tho Wailers' Pro? tective Society. 11 nearly every case the ap? peal was made in vain. Tho employers in lormod tho men that they had no intention of displacing tho men who had come ttl work at a timo when they (tho strikers! had attempted to interfere with the business of thc hotels, and they must look elsewhere for employment. It is Understood that lo<s than twenty ot thc "strikers" have been takeu back at the leading hotels; and in these cases lt appeared that the men engaged ni the "strike" with reluctance, and not until they were sc nally torced into it. Those men were compelled to sign au agree? ment dissolving all connection with the society for tho fu ure. At tho Bi. Nicholas Hotel this afternoon, one old fellow with gray iair. who bas been em? ployed in the house fourteen vears, and who had grown too old to bo oi maota us?, but who had been retained in bis place on account ot past serv.ces, and would have been retained until the timo of his death for the same reason, applied to the proprietor, Mr. Hawks, to be re-engaged. That gentleman informed bim that he sympathizad with his family, but that on principle he could not employ no man who had been engaged m the strike. Besides this, tbe offence was more aggravated in o d ser? vants, who were much the ?ame as pensioners upon the bouse. He concluded by telling bim that ho would dismiss no new waiter to employ a "striker." The old man went away mutter? ing curses upon trades unions in ? enera*. At all of the other hotels the old hands had no better fortune. The hotels are now well supplied with wai ors who have become accus? tomed io the.r duties, and everything is work I ing smoothly. THE PROSPECT Ilf FLORIDA. The Crop* Looting Well-The Labor An Encouraging View Thc Jacksonville (Florida; Union saya : Although almost too early to speak conti dently ot the prospects, yet from personal oh ser vat ion and reliable information, we can say that the corn crop will he a fair one. The cot? ton crop looks even, fair and gocd; the cold weather bas retarded ita growth, yet with the present warm weather it will soon catch up; thc fields are unusually well prepared, the crops planted with care, fences good, ground clean from grass, and there is an evident at? tention paid to thorough culture. As yet there is no caterpillar, and some argue that tho dry, hot weather will tend to destroy and prevent .hem. ' Sugar cane looks weil, sweet puta tous aro looking well; peas now being planted can be depended upou. Fruit trees, grapes and .'cgctablcs are flourishing. On tho whole,' we may calculate on a fair yield, and at present prices a pron tube roturn to the farmers. Labor is more reliable and uniform, crime less prevalent. Now let us have honest officers, economical government, and we shall all flour? ish. Though, perhaps, slow to adopt modern improvements, yet the past year has witness? ed the intioduction of new seeds, new manure, new implements and new- crops. We shall bring out before many years and rival the more advanced States, for in addition to our own people, we are attracting the enterprising and successful agriculturists from abroad.
