COLUMBIA. , .-f Sunday Morning, April 28, 1867. i Tlae Next Vote ot til? Sont lt. The approaching Toto of the South? ern States, and the parties that may be created here, are attracting much attention from the politiciuus of the North. Thc 'radicals, through tho agency of influcutml politicians, liko Senator Wilson, but more effectively through secret emissaries, haro en? tered upon an active campaign to spread their principles tbroughoi t the South, and especially to regulate, control and secure to their own pur? poses tho negro vote. From the time of the first meoting of the .colored people'in this city, which opened their eyes, to somo extent, in rela? tion to tho sympathies of tho colored people with, their former masters or employors, they have been diligent nx sowing the seeds of discord, and in using untiring efforts to convince the negroes that the Republicans of New England aud the North aro tho ouly true and reliable friends they have in tho country. A correspondent of the Now York Times, "a voteran observer," who has written some forcible articles for that journal, has been looking over tho matter of the strength of the South? ern vote, and gives i i the benefit of his researches On thc subject. In the electiou of 18G0, he says, tho total vote of the Confederate States (exclusive of Tennessee) was 714,000, uiuVof this number, Virginia and Georgia gave one-third. The negro population of those States was about 3,200, OOO, ?ind'so far as the war affected the numbers of men, the proportion of those killed or who died was greatest among the white.*. Tho writer affects to believe that the stories told, at the close of the war, of negro devastation were exaggerations, and that the negro population of the Southern States is at least as great as when the war begun. In this we have reason to know that the "veteran observer" is seri? ously in error. That population has materially decreased, by deprivation and by emigration, in all the Atlantic States; and although it is a prolific race, as the writer says, yet he is wide of the mark when ho says they are increasing iu nvAibers. But his calculations as to the political strength added to the South by the Sherman bill are worthy of note, ns showing thc interest the thinking peoplo of tho North are taking in tho matter. This writer says that thc negroes of the South will have 550,000 votes-of course, this estimate is based upon the vota without qualification or re? striction. He theu proceeds to esti? mate that the total vote of tho late Confederate States, if fully polled, will reach 1,200,000. Oue-fifth of the whites, he thinks, (a great mis? take, however,) will vote the radical ticket, and that it is possible, though not very probable, that oue-fifth of the negroes will vote the conservative 'ticket-that's, vote with the majority of the Southern whites. He gives, then, tho following us tho result of this calculation: Conservativo whites, 570,000; conservative uegroes, 110, 000; conservative vote, GS0.00O. Radi? cal whites, 140,000; radical blocks, 440,000; radical vote, 580,000. Ho theu takes up the probablo vote in the States, and says that as Virginia, Arkansas and Georgia contaiu the largest portion of the white vote, these States will likely be controlled by the conservatives. South Caro? lina, he says, may be carried tho same way, because it probably con? tains thc largest portion of negroes, ?.ho can be influeuced by their old masters. This, by-the-way, is a high compliment to tho good seuse of our colored population. Thc radicals, tho writer thinks, will cany the other Southern States, if tho negro voto is registered and polled. On that, ho says, everything depends. The coming vote iu the unrecon? structed States is a problem yet tobo .solved, und wo give thc above specu latious for what they are worth, and as showing that i>olitical observers at the North aro carefully watching tho progress of affairs iu this section. Wo learn that tho first crimiuals sent to tho State Penitentiary wero thus punished foranoffonco against a freedman. Williamsburg District sent two whito men to this placo of penanco for tho offenco of stealing bacou from a freedman. Will Har? per's Weekly please make a note? THE BICHMON?
