Oar Colored Popalntl
Wo do not believe that, iu the his?
tory of the world, snob, a radical
change in society, as that of the
emancipation ol the slaves of the
Booth, ever took place with so little
disturbance or social disorder. Twen?
ty-five years ago, had it been an*
nouncod that general emancipation
would occur without revolt or blood?
shed, the man uttering suoh a pre?
diction would have been set down aa
a dreaming visionary. The Baltimore
Sun says that "nothing could h uve
been better than tho conduct of the
Southern slaves daring the late war,
and, considering the abrupt change
brought about in their social posi?
tion, their new-found liberty was used
with singular decorum and modera?
tion."
As regards this State, wo can cheer?
fully endorse the commendatory re?
marks of the Sun. It is true, proba?
bly, that our colored people bavebeen
lesa tampered with by political mis?
sionaries than those of other States
on the great traveling thoroughfares
of the country; and it is further to be
noted that our prominent citizens,
commencing with Qeu. Hampton,
have manifested an interest in the
wcll-boing, advancement and im?
provement of thc freedmen, which
has naturally begotten in them a feel?
ing of respect and confidonco iu their
former owners, which has produced
the favorable condition of allah's now
existing .a this State. We sincerely
hopo that this state of things will
continue, and that tho whites will
show, by their efforts to aid tho freed?
men, in tho great interests of reli?
gion and education, that they are the
truo friends of thc rnco which have
been born and roared among them.
Tho great danger to our colored
populatiou is, that they may be mis?
led by desiguiug politicians. They
ought to tako it for granted that their
friends aud neighbors nt home have
a dooper interest iu their wolfare
thau any strangers-no matter to
what political party they belong
can possibly have. Tho labor of the
freedman is ns necessary to the de?
velopment of the resources of the
South, as is tho capital cr brain
work of tho other race. Hand in
hand, they must labor together for
tho recuperation of our desolated
sec lion, and the prosperity of the
owners of tho soil must also bring
prosperity to those they employ.
If thc freedmen of the South de?
serve credit for their conduct, no
less do thc whites. As far as we have
observed, tho latter haye been liberal
in contributing to every enterprise
for the elevation und amelioration of
tho colored people. Churches and
school-houses havo sprung up with
wonderful rapidity. "Even when la?
boring under tho immense loss en?
tailed upon them by emancipation,
and by tho destruction of their pro?
perty incidental to war, every Chris?
tian denomination in thc South has
doue its shore in giving aid to the
colored people in founding their own
church organizations. Aud to this
policy must be attributed the reign
of social order, which, for over two
years, has prevailed in this State.
If this favorable condition of tho
relations now oxisting between tho
two races should continue, it will uot
bo many years beforo its good results
will bo visible in the universal pros?
perity of tho South, lt will require
patience, forbearance and endurance,
but, in tho end, the good will como.
Our advico to both races is to abjuro
party politics, and to work harmo?
niously together for the weal of tho
South. No party, wo believe, ever
boncfitted tho mero partisan, and
whilo a few of tho leaders may bavo
obtained offico and spoils, ninety
nine out of a hundred of their fol?
lowers havo suffered loss, both in
time and money.

RAILROADS.-Tho United States has
moro miles of railroad in operation
than any other country in the world,
36,890 hoing its running order. Next
comes Great Britain and Ireland,
with 13,286 milos; Franco, with 8,982
milos; Prussia, with 5,795 miles; Aus?
tria, with 3,831 miles; British India,
with 3,379 miles; Italy, with 3,213
miles; Spain, with 3,116 miles; Rus?
sia, with 2,775 miles; and Canada,
2,118 miles. There are in Europe
50,117 miles; in, America, 40,860
miles; Asia, 3,660 miles; Africa, 375
miles, and Australasia, COS miles.
BusauN AMipwuu-Secretary Se?
ward has just made publio a letter
'from Allen Frances, United ?tates
Consul, and a number of citizens of
the United States at Victoria, Van?
couver Island, congratulating the
country upon tho Bussinn American
purchase. The writers say that, from
actual contiguity to the acquired ter?
ritory, they are able to Btate that the
purobnso is of the greatest impor?
tance, and add:
The climate of the territory West
of the Gasende range of mountains,
and up to sixty degrees North lati?
tude, and of tho numerous islands
bordering its shores, is much milder,
both summer and winter, and much
more pleasant than that of any por?
tion of the New Englnud States or
the Canadas.
Its immenso forests of pine are of
incalculable value, tho timber being
much superior to that of Oregon or
Washington Territory, while tho
numerous harbors along its coasts
will afford tho greatest facilities for
its shipment. Tbero aro known to
exist within tho limits of tho pur?
chased territory many valuable mine?
rals, among which are gold, silver,
copper, lead, iron, aud extensive beds
of coal, which will furnish an ample
field for labor and the investment of
capital. Many beautiful und rich
.specimens of .J] the minerals enume?
rated aro now in this city, which have
beeu brought from that Territory.
Tho agricultural capabilities of tho
country are, no doubt, inferior to
that of tho States and Territories
lying South of it; still there aro large
bodies of land known to exist, so ful?
as the country bus been explored,
capable of producing many of thc
vegetables commou to temperate
climes of great excellence, and iu the
greatest abundance, ns well as most
of tho cereals.
Commercially, the new territory
must bo of great value, on account of
its comparative proximity to many
of the teeming populations of Asia,
and its possession ot most of the na?
tural productions iu demand by them
must ultimately create an extensive
commerce.
Of the postmasters in South Caro?
lina, says n Northeru exchange, lately
commissioned, forty ure Indios, and
of these forty, thirty-two uro single.
This is another indication of the
"good timo coming" of woman's
equality. That there are many avo?
cations in which women might serve
with equal advantage t-> tho public
with the men, wo have never doubted,
lint a long-established belief in the
inordinate curiosity of the sex, und
an immemorial . scepticism of tho
ability of a woman to keep a secret,
have combined to make it problemati?
cal whether the post office is, in all
respects, proper field for their exer?
tions. Horrid mon will not bo per?
fectly coufident that tho fair post?
masters (they ure not known ns post?
mistresses at the Post Office Depart?
ment) will ?:?>t ii : i ?1 out what is in tho
letters, and afterwards retail it us
village gossip; and then, thc old joke
about deranging the J.J tit's is familiar
to everybody. We eau imagine no
severer trial of official virtue than a
youug girl, serving as pod muster,
being called upon to sort und hand
over to her lover and her rival tho
letters of a tender correspondence;
?nd if thu fair South Carolinians can
stand this test, they may safely bo
entrusted with tho right of suffrage,
and with thc duty of legislation into
the bargain.
PAY THU PUBMC DICHT.-Thc pro?
position to pay the nat ional debt im?
mediately-all in greenbacks-seems
to bc meeting with general and uni?
versal favor. Tho following, from
tho Washington (Ohio) Register, is a
fair specimen of tho voice of tho
country press. It says:
Wo aro ia favor of paying off the
public debt in greenbacks. If they
aro good enough for the farmers,
mechanics and busiuess mon of thc
nation, why arc they not good enough
for tho rich men of tho country? If
thc public debt was paid oil'in green?
backs, tb#entirewealth of thecouutry
would be brought upon the tax dupli?
cate, aud every man would be required
to pay taxes according to his wealth.
There would bo no rich men exempt
from taxation, while drawing interest
iu gold on Government bauds, while
the masses of the people wore doing
business with a rag currency. Tho
nation would save millions every year
in interest, and millie*.'.s moro in pre?
miums upon gold wherewith to pay
interest to bond-hold ors. The taxes
of tho people would bo lessened, and
all tho greenbacks destroyed by acci?
dent or other causo would inure to
tho benefit of the Cfo vern ment. Pay
tho public debt immediately-pay it
in greenbacks, and let all thc citizens
have tho same kind of money uud all
pay taxes aliko.
-- ? ? ? > -
Tho testimony iu tho defence of
young Hnrratt reads very much as
though Stanton, Holt, and what is
called "tho Government" wero ou
trial for conspiracy and murder
themselves, and the chances are that
they will be fourni guilty.

The progress that baa been made
in Control Park, say? the New York.}
Herald, omeo its no tu m euee ment soma
yeors ago up to the present time, is
something ttarvollous. Here woe o
rooky wilderness, part marsh, p*r>
waste, with rocky boulders jutting
up from amidst the dwarf herbage.
Not teu yours back, many a New
Yorker would go ont to where the
Park now ia for a country ride, and
when Thirtieth street was passod
they had left tho "din of city and
busy haunts of men" far behind
them. The hands of man have been
as busy as tho effects of nature, and
the old prover!) has been exemplified
that man made the city if God made
the country. Tho wilderness adjacent
to Bloomingdale has been transform?
ed into a Peri'sparadiso-a garden of
gardens for the present and future
generations of Now Yorkers. The
old wilderness exists no longer.
BKAZIL.-Tho cable report which
wo had some two months ago of the
abolition of slavery in tho Empire of
Brazil, was subsequently found to bo
in advance of the event. But tho
emancipation movement has gone so
for that the Emperor Don Pedro II,
in his recent speech at tho opening
of the Brazilian Chambers, gave ut?
terance to the following sentence:
"The servile element of tho Emitir?
cannot fail to merit opportunely your
consideration, acting iu a manner to
caro for thc high interests attached to
emancipation, by respecting actual
property, and without giving a pro?
found shock to our maiu sourco of
industry-agriculture." The differ?
ent tenure on which negro slavery
exists iu Brazil from that on which it j
formerly existed iu the United States,
moy be judged by the fact that tho 1
head of thc State eau utter himself !
in this way. Imagine one of our l
Presidents speaking in this woy prior
to lt???. It may he considered cor
tain that Brazilian emancipation will
be effected peaceably and without
difficulty.-JVe>o York Times.
The Kock Island Argus, alluding
to tho advertisement for the return of
a silver communion set, says:
"New England is not the only
place where stolen articles from the
South may be found. A search in
Kock Island County would disclose
thu fact that some very liuo profes?
sors of religion are using articles in
their houses which they ought to be
ashamed to keep from their proper
owners. There is a very large and
valuable silver waiter in a certain
house iu this city, the true history of
which we should bo glad to know.
Tliero are other articles of silverware
in the city and County, which are
reported to have been stolen front
the people of the South. There aro
also horses, harness, carriages and 1
other article.-, in this city and C ninty
which were stolen from the people of ,
the South."
WoitTH Kxowixa. - One pound of]
green copperas, dissolved in a quart
of water and poured down a sin lc <>r
drain, will effectually destroy the
foulest smells. For water closets tm
board ships ard steamboats, about
hotels and other public places, tlurro
is nothing .so nico to cleanse :is siinrle
groen copperas. Dissolved under fie
I ? - ? I in anything that will hold water,
it, will ren?.er a hospital or other place
for sick fros from unpleasant smells.
For butchers' stalls, tish markets, \
slaughter houses, sinks, and wherever |
there aro offensive putrid gases, dis?
solve copperas ami sprinkle it about,
and, in a few days, the smell will
pass away. If a cat, rat or mouse
dies about the house, and sends forth
an offensive gas, place some dissolved
copperas in an open vessel near thc
place where the nuisance is, and it
will soon purify the atmosphere.
The following is a letter from Ha?
milton College Observatory, Clinton,
N. Y., dated ou the 9th:
"Yesterday morning carly, July 7,
astronomical date, a new member ol'
the group of asteroids was discovered
here, in twenty-one hours and twen?
ty-one minutes right ascension, and
twenty-one degrees and thirty-one
minutos of Southern declination.
This morning, it was found to have
moved in twenty-four hours about
twenty-five seconds to the West and
six minutes to tho South. Being of
tho eleventh magnitude, and . till
about ono month*, before opposition
with the sun, the planet promises to
be a very bright one."
TENNESSEE.-Owing to the riotous
and threatening conduct of some of
Brownlow's militia in Nashville, tho
Mayor of that city has found it ne?
cessary to issue a proclamation, call?
ing upon the peoplo to maintain
order and. quiet, and assuring them
that tho counnauder of tho Federal
forces there will promptly act for
their protection, whenever tho exi?
gencies shall require it. Ho also
convenes a meeting of the citizens,
"to counsel together, freely and fra?
ternally, in regard to the evils which
now surround thom, and the means
of avoiding all mischief likely to
arise in future."
F i Li I u CJ8TBKIKO. -T h o Washi u g to n

of a plot to over-run Mexico, which
ho has recently discovered. Ho states
that the movement was gotten up nt

President and Secretary Seward arc !

The Philadelphia Ledger tells ot a |
woman in that oity who nightly has
a personal encounter with r. piano,
which she tortures in tho most cruel J
manner. She begins playing heir'
piano and singing operatic airs every
evening, at about 10 o'clock, and
continues until about 1 the next
morning. Aa all the windows are
kept open at this bot season, the
neighbors toss on their beds and per?

The arrival of emigrants for tho
first six months of tho year at Now
York, is shown by tho returns of tho
Board of Emigration to bo: By sail?
ing vessels, 28,808; by steamships,
108,518; in all, 136.826. Thc num?
ber of births at sea were 118, and of
deuths 352. Of the latter 258 oc?
curred on sailing vessels, being ono
and one-tenth per ceut. Tho deaths,
91 in all, on board steamships, ave?
raged less than ono-tcnth of one per

There is a French machine in the
Expositiou that takes in chopped
tobacco and turns out cigarettes at
tho rate of sixty a miuuto thc year
round, ringing a signal bell as oftou
as there is not enough to put in a

a yard square, make a saving of 70,
000,000 francs a year.
Place a busin of cohl water by the

PiiESERvrxa OKUA.-One of the
most healthy and nutritious vegeta?
bles is the okra, which ia raised in
such abundance in our climate. We
are surprised that so little attention
is given to preserving it for use all
through the winter, when it can be
done so easily and so cheaply. The
following recipe for doing it is fur?
nished by a practical and experienced
gardener aud agriculturist:
"Take a clean barrel, sprinkle salt
in the bottom, (cover the bottom;)
then lay down a layer of okra ovonly
over the surface of tho salt; then, ou
this, another layer of okra, as before,
and so on until the barrel is full, or
you have put as much as desired,
covering tho whole, when doue, with
a thick layer of salt."
