The Justice did not give a positive answer, but suggested that should lie perm it the use of his name by the Dem?? crata it might be considered a want of good faith alter be had permitted his name to go before the Cincinnati Convention." -A New York bachelor recently gave avery gorgeous banquet to seventy-five ladles and gentlemen, in Delmonicu's big oval room.

The proposition was promptly and unanimously rejected. The matter ls a subject of severe criticism, both in Republican and Democratic circle?." -The trade troubles in Chicago still con? tinue. There have been repeated strikes for Increase of wages and a further advance of from 60 cents to $1 50 a day is nov demanded, raising the pay ot laborers to $2 59 a day, ot carpenters to ft 50 a day, ot bricklayers to $5 50 a day, and of stonemasons to $6 a day. The plasterers, who struck very recently, have obtained an advance of wages to $5 a day. It ls farther reported that on May 15th a grand co-operative strike of all thetcades will take place to effect the reduction of the period of labor to eight hours a day. . -"Jennie June" is authority for the infor? mation that hooped skirts are now no longer worn, but the tournure ls now an object ot the very greatest Importance, as the entire char? acter of the costume depends upon the more or less bouffant style of the tunic, and its proper arrangement over a fitting bustle, or more correctly, tournure. The number and variety, therefore, of new bustles and tour? nures ls endless, and, in the meantime, girls whose pocket money is scanty, draw a news? paper upon a string and try to counterfeit the required lump without more expenditure than ls require J for the daily Intellectual feast ofthe average American citizen. -? Washington telegram of Sunday says: "A special conference which was held at the. State Department yesterday between the Pres? ident; secretary of State, and Messrs.

In other words, Great Britain does not concede that the United States withdraws the indirect damage claim* irom all negotiation. The question as to whether this government will adhere to or absolutely abandon such claims, therefore, remains an open one, and the prospect of the success of the treaty is not so bright as lt war." -A Washington dispatch says: "The na? tional Democratic executive committee will meet la New York City ou Wedoesda; olde wheo and where the National Den Convention shall meet.

The statistics contained In the re po the United States census for 1870 do confirm the common opinion that tbei likely to be a steady flow of the colored j pie to this State. 4Time enough has elapsed to determine the law of their mc ment; still, it is interesting to study Agares, and to me them to check oar ti ries.

How i this view confirmed by the censas of 1870 The gain in Florida was 46 per cent ; but ii 1 *tb.e previous decade it was 56 per cent Louisiana, which gaiued 34 per eeut. ii 1860, gains only 4 per cent in 1870; Missis sippi, which gained 41 per cent, in 1860 gains only 1? per cent, in 1870, and Soutl Carolina, which gaiued 5 per cent ia 1860 gains only j per cent, in the next decade Florida was outside of the seat of active war. and a?lorded a refuge for the coloree people. This may account for her gain; but the gains of Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina have fallen respectively to 4), Ik and i per cent, although the average increase of the entire negro population, for the same period, was 12 per cent. It is true that the colored populations of the three States last named suffered severely during the war, and that the mortality amongst them has been heavy Bincethe war; but, if there had been any considerable mi? gration to those States during the ten years ending in 1870, the result would have been very different Nor does the censaa show that '??ere has been any considerable move? ment from the North to the old slave States. The third table indicates that the increase in the more accessible of the Northern States is very much greater than the aver? age gain in the whole country. In a general way, the Becond table proves that the movement of the negro population bas taken a Northern as well as a Southern direction; but it is difficult to say what changes are even now in progress. During tho lost two years there has been, it is be? lieved, a steady flow of colored people to Mississippi, and it is hardly to be doubted that the next census will show that there has been considerable emigration from this State. One great danger is that South Carolina may lag behind in the work of re? forming her government, in which case the temptation to move in this direction may be stronger than the attraction of higher wages farther South. Even so, however, it is open for consideration whether the new comers would not be the few aspiring colored men who envy the Elliotts and Whippers who have obtained a prominent position here, rather than the laborers who depend upon the general prosperity of a State for their rate of wages and the security of their earn? ings. A more imminent peril is that the continuance of a corrupt and tyrannical government may drive the white people away; in which event the relative strength of the negroes would be proportionately in? creased. And this resnlt can only be avoid? ed by seizing every opportunity which pre? sents itself of making any change for the better, however slight, in the character of our public officers. This is? as necessary to the well-being of the colored people as to that of the whites. If Sooth Carolina were to lose ber white population, it would be im? possible for the colored laborers to obtain even the comforts which now are theirs, and any improvement in their condition would be oat of the question. We do not. pretend to say that the statis? tics of the census of 1870 are conclusive. They are, however, true as Tar as they go, and they show that from 1860 to 1870 the increase in the colored population of this State was only | per cent. ; while the aver ' age gain, throughout the United States, was 12 per cent., and the natural increase should be, for the same period, about 15 per cent Up to 1870, at all events, there was no move? ment of colored people to Sooth Carolina; and it is highly probable that thousands were lost oy emigration to the far South. hosteller's Silters.
