H<Utorl?l Hoinen tin- South. Wu- give below: another excellent editorial from th? pen Of Mr.. Printe?, the chief editor of the New York Journal of Commerce: If nn election' of any kind were to bc hold in the South within tho next three months, there is no reasonable donbt that three-fourths of tho negro vote would bo cast with the Southern white vote. There is perfect accord between tho larger portion of the freedmen and the white population. This is but natural. Tue negroes wore as ardent enemies of the North as their masters during the war. They had no theories to sustain, and no special caro as to what questions were involved in the contest. They sympathized with tho people who surrounded them; and if the oath of allegiance were distinctly understood by the freedmen when it is adminis? tered to them, nine-tenths of them would be unable to say that they had not lent willing aid and comfort to the rebellion. Having stood firmly by their masters in the trials of the war, they are still likely to stand by them in all pnblio questions. It seems to be from a knowledge and apprecia? tion of these facts, that the men who are seeking to use tho negro vote fot partisan purposes find it necessary to delude tho poor fellows with promises of a division of the lands among them. The serious question for the freedmen now ought to be how to establish a regular and -permanent system of paid labor, and how to fix tue rate of payment so as to approxi? mate as nearly as may bo to the old rate-namely, a support for tho la? borer and his family, in sickness and health, childhood and old age. But the interference of politicians is ope rating to prevent the determination of these questions, and postpone tho day of calm settling down. It is im? possible to regard the speech-making missions of Northern politicians to the Southern negroes as anything but injurious to them. It is, in fact, adding the final blow to their ruin ns a people. Unless they settlo down to work, and take tho position of labor? ers whose labor is necessary, and must be cherished and cared for, they will rapidly perish. Tho suffrage ia in danger of proving the destruction of tho race. It would ordinarily take a generation to ]r-irn tho require? ments of the new order of things! Where the iuforests of employers are so deeply involved in the education of the employed, the process or ac? commodation to tho new system might be much more rapid. But thc temptations to idleness which politi? cal speakers are offering them, ar? too strong to bo resisted by theil feeble intellects, and they are easily led to ruin. They would go ranci faster if the promises were fulfilled If the lands were divided auiont them, and they made to depend 01 their own labor for the product o their own farms, tho race would mel away in two or three generations. Thc Southern negro is very mucl like a hot-house plant. He need constant care and advice. Expos ur is dangerous. It is nstonishing t observe how many of them seem ti be ill, how few are free from cough and indications of disease. The; know nothing about taking caro o themselves. They require advice watching and constant help. Thea aro the general truths, while the ea ceptions serve by contrast to mak tho common rule more visible. Tho future, therefore, looks doubt ful to tho Southern people. There i reason to fear that the negro rac will disappear. Already it is plai that it will not be able to supply th demand for labor which is sure to b made within a few years. Tho ind: cations aro that they will diminis from year to year, while the denian will increase in more rapid ratio. J these questions were left to th management of Southern men, thc would be considered with great care and tho utmost attention would h paid to the comfort and well-being c the freedmen. Tho best friends the have in tho world are Southern en ployers, and their worst enemies ai those who, however honestly, ai seeking to divert their attention froi the primary question of bread, au clothing, and shelter, to the work < governing a great nation. Unfit i present to govern themselves, the ought to be spared tho miserable di basion of thinking they aro fit 1 make laws for the world or the grea est nation in it.' The direction < their minds howard such subjec results in their absolute destructioi physical as well ns moral. There aro many reasons for belie ing that tho tendency of things in tl South is toward tho breaking up tho old system of large plantatioi employing many hands. These wi continuo in somo sections, beean no other system can be made to wo successfully. But it will not 1 strange if tho general mle shall hei after bo more like that at tho Nort wliero the farmer cultivates a sim farm, requiring but few hands. He cowes in, however, the question emigration-whether it can be turn to the South, and how. Tho worh history has shown that emigrati does not tend to warm climates. Y. here aro inducements such aa wt never before offered. A land or teeming with abundance, rich s which rewards labor ten-fold, t prospect of crops which arc mi valnablo than mines of gold, tho o tainty that the soil will yield supp to the laborer and his family fp . thc tir : i^int the seed grows-th (ind other Telson s maj tempt th? emigrant. - > - [| j Bat the people of the South mast do something to i nd < ice immigration, and otto of tho first things necessary is to . persuado their railway compa? nies to establish second-class through rates of fare at a low tariff. Tho present rates are only local, and very high. When we compare the coat of going from New York to St. Louis or Chicago with the cost of going as far Southward, we see reasons why the emigrant cannot now be induced to try the latter. There are fine openings for the organization of emigrant companies in the South. Largo tracts of im? proved lund can be bought at a low figure, and these lauds sold to emi? grants in alternate sections would at once become more valuable than in the most prosperous days of old.
