The New York Neufs extracts from tho last volume of the census for 1860, jast issued from tho Govern? ment printing press tables, soma facts illustrating the comparative amount of pauperism and crime in the North? ern and Southern States, as well as each of the States composing the respective sections, for the y< end? ing June 30, 18G0. Nothavir room for the tables, wo aggregate results as follows: The nineteen Northern States of California, Connecticut, Illinois, In? diana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massa? chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wisconsin, con? tained a population of 18,917,753. Whole number of paupers supported within tho year-nativo, 140,238; fo? reign, 156,241. Whole number of criminals convicted within tho year native, 29,089? foreign, J52,259. xne m?o*;n ooiitiieru outlca 01 Am? bania, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mary? land, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia, contained a popu? lation of 12,240,593. Whole number of paupers supported within the year -native, 18,518; foreign, 4,546. Whole jiumber of criminals convicted within the year-native, 3,677; fo? reign, 3,477. This exhibit for the South, with all "the barbarism of slavery," is some? thing to be viewed with complacency, if not pride. Not disposed, however, to blow our own trumpet, we lot the News speak for us. That journal says: "From these tables it appears that the amount of pauperism in the Northern States, during the twelve months which they include, was 1.57 per cent, of the population of those States-0.73 per cent, of the paupers being native born, and 0.83 of foreign birth. The amount of pauperism in the Southern States, during the same period, is found to have been 0.19 per cent, of the population of that sec? tion of the country, of which 1.15 per cent, was supplied by native born paupers, and 0.04 per cent, by those of foreign birth. "Thus the ratio of pauperism and crime in the North were, in 1860, each eight times greater than they were in the South. "? 'Oh, but it is the large number of foreigners we have among ns that fill our work-houses and our prisons!' we fancy we hear some radical remark. "Jbut let us take morely figures j that refer to native born Americans, and see how the matter then stands. Why we even then find that the ratio of pauperism in the North was five times more than when what it is in the South, and that the ratio of crime among the native born was in the North five-fold what it was in the South. "These facts conclusively demon? strate the high tone of morality that existed in the Sonth, and the small "^amount of pauperism that '"as found there prior to the wai*. The South? ern people can look upon tho record with no slight degree of pride; and tho evidence it adduces ought alono IHJ sufficient to prove how worthy they are to stand m the foremoat rank of American citizens, and to enjoy all the "tjfctts and privileges which that po!, jon ought positively to guaran? tee." W. W. HOLDEN.-Ex-ProvLsional Governor Holden, says the Lynch? burg Republican, luis been nominated residont minister to Salvador. Though no admirer of Holden, wo hope his confreres of the Senato will confirm I his appointment, so that the country may be rid of him. He will do less harm there than hore. Wo wish Presi? dent Johnson would appoint Judge (?) Underwood minister resident to the Feje? Islands or some other out-1 lan dish place. .Better disgrace tho diplomatic toga than the judicial ermine. Tbe Negro Homestead Bill. The supplementary homestead bill which quietly became a law, tho other day, will, if the intentions of its pro? jectors are carried out, produce a more vital chango in the condition of the negro race at the South than even the transition frpm slavery to free? dom. The mere abolition of chattel j slavery did not materially change the j status of the negro as a laborer. He was compelled to work in tho cotton j fields, before tho war, by tho will of his master, and I io stUl works t he same ground to earn wages upon which to livo. Tho new homestead I bill, however, aims to make him a freeholder, and thus break up what is left of the present labor system of the South. It is safe to predict that, if the designs of tho radicals, who passed this bill, are accomplished, in two years' time, thc amount of negro labor available for cotton cultivation on a large scale will be reduced fully one-half. By the provisions of this bill, us it passed, all the public lands in the States of Alabama, Mississippi, Lou? isiana, Arkansas and Florida are thrown open iu eighty-acre home? steads to actual settlers only. Wliile the negroes aro permitted to occupy the land at once, no poor white, who favored tho rebellion, eau secure a homestead until 1SG7. As thc bill passed the House, all rebels were per petually excluded, but to this th* Senate would not consent. The com? promiso finally effected is rims ex plained by the Washington corres pondent of tho Boston Advertiser: "The mauagcrs on tho part of the House in the conference couimittot would nofrhavc consented to the limi tation of tho exclusion of active rebel from the benefits of tho act to th? next six months, but-for the as-snr ance of the Freedmen's Bureau tim this space of time would bo sufficien to accomplish the object of tho bill that is, to enable thc loyal people (tin i?onrr<ir??\ <?f flu* fi va Xtaltox t.O RTVtei laud under it. Gen. Howard, as sooi as the President has signed the bill will send out special instructions t? the agents of tho bureau to take ever pains to inform the colored people o the nature of thc act, and to indue them to exercise the right of selectin homesteads on tho public lands con ferred upon them by it, Thc Freed men's Bureau has had no better op portunity for inestimable usofulnes eiuec its establishment" It is easy to foretell how this wi end. The negroes will become po? sessed of a ?mall freehold; will rais their corn, squashes, chickens an pigs; and will Avork no more in th cotton, rice and sugar fields. 1 n ethe words, their labor will become m available for those products which th world especially needs. Tho histor of negro communities proves th.? when the blacks can live on the soi they will not work as laborers. Tho following is the amount t public land to be donated tho negroe In Arkansas, 9,298,012.70 acres; i Alabama, 0,732,058.08 acres; in Fl rida, 19,379,635.61 acres; in Louis ana, 6,228,102.45 acres; in Mississi] pi, 4,760,736.03 acres-in all, 46,(KX1 398 acres, of which 30,000,000 ai known to bo good arable land. Th will Kive nearly 400,000 homestead and support nearly 2,000,000 peopl Tho title of this law ought to ha' been "A bill to get rid of the Iaboi ii class of tho South, and make Cufl?e self-supporting luiisauce."' {New York World.
