Tai!s to exereisp the care necessary to the prolonga tion of 1 if* The census may attempt to «how that there has been an increase of negro population sit c n the war. If such is »be case, it is rot the te«nlt of natural growth, but of immigration front other states. S"nth Carolina especially has be come the Kttnny Bhv of the colored race, and in the hope of political reward, the most damttnhle specimens of h’ack-and-tun humanity have wended their way hither and are seeking to control the destinies of •he proud old State. A woolly head, gift of gab. a clean cotton shirt nnd a cane are the stock in trade of ’hese adventurous Fuhi opianp, and nn that capital they are trading themselves into local notoriety and the places if honor and profit Four-fifths of the nv'mbers of the legis lature are negroes, who havp made from three to a hundred thousand dollars each. The lieutenant-governor and secretary of State are mulattoes and three nut of ihe four mem hers of Congress range in color f om a bottle of ir k t > a dirty piece of snle h-athcr One of the associate ju«ticesnf the supreme bench is so black that a* chalk m irk on his philanthropic physiognomy would look like a light house in a fg, while the ponderous gravity with which he listens to the learned arguments of the real ly learned men of the State, who are forced to appear before him. has its •qnal only in that ridiculous sedateness with which you have seen a monkey oatch Ih»HS. The 1 eader of the legislature is a M : chignn negro whose linguistic oi’iness quickly hpughf him to the dingy surface, a r >d there hestill floats in vanity and wealth, lie is called the ‘ Black Prince,” ar.d lives in style about seven miles from Charleston, owns twenty horses nnd moles, with hand some carriages to hoot; drives with a foot man, and fires a bottle or two of champagne with a lavish hand to every sight-seer who has a curiosity to vitdt an ebony idol in his ewn home. But the Sou h Carolinians are not depress, ed without hope hv tjiis condition ot nfflira. While ignorance and plunder are rampant in all the official departments, from the executive down to what we at home call justice* of thp peace—they are known here as trial justices, and are as thick ns Val hamhrosian leaves a strong effort is being made to amalgamate the two races in such a manner as will promote the general wel fare of the State. The most intelligent and influential among the whites are perfectly willing to secure to the colored people everything to which they are entitled under the law—freedom to vote, good school privi leges. and a fair distribution of public • ffi ee« among those who are honest and capa ble. TheGovernnr, himself—nnOhioman. ex federal general and an tit questioned republican —is said to he in favor of this fusion as a means of restoring peace to the S’ate, strengthening his administration, nnd driving out the hordes of carrion-crows who aT fredirg on the corpse. In doing this the Democrats will yield no more than is demanded hv the constitution ; no more than is extressed in the “new departure” platform of Mr. Yal'andigham, and no more than the local interests of South Carolina absolutely require As regards the national campaign, the Pa'metto State will follow—not lead Prom inent men prefer to wait until unity of action is secured; and whatever is the voice i ; of the south, wil’ doubtless be the utternace of her people. Still, thirty thouasand ne ■ grn majority with which they have to enn -1 tend, may modify public sen'iment and call for those conciliatory expressions most cal culated to pr mote domestic harmony and disintegrate the purely radical strength. One of the healthy signs of the times is the ; n‘en«=e disgust manifest bv the colored ‘*ciriz p ns to the manner born,” toward the carpet- haggers who have gobbled the offices at and turned the party into a sort of money making machine for the benefit of the few. Another token of returning reason is a dis position to rest th® experiment of minority representation, wh ch w uld give to the whites forty nr fifty members • f the legisla ture — the balance of power, and thus pre vent the passage of the fearful hills whereby the State is kept as it were, on the edge of bankruptcy.
