AUGUSTA, QA..: Saturday Morning, October, 9, 1875. The Colored Convention. The so-called colored convention, which concluded its labors on yester day, was a fizzle. We use the word ad visedly because it expresses a patent fact. The ruling' spirits in that con clave were Belcher and Turner, the one a quadroon and the other a full blooded negro. In the difference of their blood may be traced the contrarie ty of their opinions with regard to an exodus of the negroes from the South ern States to Africa. The man with considerable of white blood in his veins has no desire to leave this part of the world and go to that quarter of the globe which fires the picturesque fancy of the black Turner. It is somewhat natural that the latter should gravi tate toward Africa, but we dare say, like many of the Southern negroes who have tried Liberia, he would, if his plans were carried out to personal experience, very soon regret having left Georgia for that benighted land which haunts him like an opium eater’s dream of Paradise. Belcher, with more sense, knows full well that his chances here in the United States are infinitely superior to any wild goose chase of a distempered vision beyond the seas. He knows, by read ing and the experience of others, that Liberia and such places are shams and frauds which, but for the powerful aid of the white man, would topple to pieces very soon, and either be over run by savage tribes or else drift back into barbarism. But Turner, who has just enough nimble-wittedness to make him half-crazy on this hob by, would not bo convinced, as Belcher is, if one came from the dead to instruct him. We think it would be well for the country, if not for him, that he should decamp and seek the realization of his ideal happiness in a 1 turning zone. Here his restless and discontented mind is a positive injury. In the “palaver houses” of the Guinea coast his opportunities for eminence would be really promising. A black man in Africa who can out-talk the common Turner, is bound to rise. Here liis eloquence is wasted, and, as he proves more and more ne glected, a morbid condition of mind will ensue which never works benefaction to any man of any color. Let him, therefore, seek the aid of the Liberian Society of Maryland, or tho generosity of Garrison and Wen dell Phillips, for the purpose of test ing in person the attractiveness of that clime which soars so splendidly before his raptured imagination. After a proper trial, he may come back, and, if honestly disposed, tell the truth, and either advise his people to wander away, or else remain where they are and k accept whatever destiny Provi dence has in store for them. On one point Turner is right. He judges correctly when he says the negro race is on the road to vir tual extinguishment in the United States. In slavery, black people increased and multiplied. The* free dom they now enjoy is unnatural, when brought into sharp antagonism with the Caucasian majority, and, lit tle by little, they must become fewer and fewer in numbers. It will be a long time before their race is run, just a9 it will be many years yet before the red man is utterly extinct in this coun try. The negroes, obeying a law of their nature, will drift toward the tro picoid regions or Mexico. As the white race grows in the States beyond us, it will push the blacks out, to a great degree, but not entirely. There will for ages yet be a respectable rem nant in every,Southern State, and this remnant would as lief go to the abode of Satan as the Western coast of Africa. The attempt of Turner to get candi dates for Africa will be a failure, in the main. As the fools, black and white, are not all dead, he may successfully practice upon the credulity of a few men and women of his color, especially if they have any money; but to the vast majority of colored people his project is mere moonshine, and, having been misled so often by adventurers in the past, they no doubt will bo extremely wary in following this new crusader, who probably supplements his sermon by “passing round the hat.” A Good Sign.—The Courier-Journal's Washington correspondent thus writes, under date of the sth: A number of officials, clerks, and em ployes of the Government, who stood upon the rolls as appointed from Ohio, and most of them actually residents of that State, sometime since made up a pool amounting to several thousand dollars, and entrusted i: to one of th shrewdest of their number to take it to Ohio and double it by bets on the coming election, and at the same time strengthen the cause by an exhibition of confidence in their candidate, Gov. Hayes. 1 his gentleman went to Ohio, and after a careful survey of the ground and confer ence with the best informed men of bis party, he has written to the club that he deems it unsafe to take any bets on less tiian thirty thousand for Allen. He asked iurther instructions. After consultation among the several associates, it was to day agreed to direct the individual to re turn the money for distribution to the sub scribers. This is jolly good news for Uncle William Allen. When the betting men of the Radicals refuse to back their champion, it is a pretty good sign that Schurz and Woodford have practically failed to accomplish their purpose. John Hay will devote most of his time to the management of his father-in-laws’s business in Cleveland. Eligible fathers-in laws, wishing similar services performed with expedition and dispatch, may apply at once to the nearest Literary Bureau or newspaper office. America is crowded with young men who part their hair in the mid dle and would like to marry some rich man’s daughter and ducats— [Chicago tri bune. True, and they do not object to going a short distance in the rural districts either. Suicide.— After a slight lull, the sui cide mania in New Orleans has again violently broken out. The assigned cause is want of rag or any other money. The Down-Grade. —A Washington special to the Cincinnati Commercial gives some interesting facts and figures from the report of the Bureau of Sta tistics. The correspondent says : Dur ing the fiscal year ended June 30, 1875, there arrived in the United States 227,- 498 immigrants, which is 180,149 below the number that arrived in 1874, and less than one-half the number that ar rived in 1873. This large falling off is attributable to the continued depres sion of trade and the prostration of in dustries. The economic value of each immigrant is placed at 8800, which makes a loss to the material wealth of the country during the year 1875, as compared with 1874, of 8144,119,200. Compared with the year 1873, the loss is 8 D 5,844,000, a sum 830,000,000 in ex cess of the aggregate customs receipts for the last fiscal year. The material loss for 1875, as compared with 1874, is 835,000,000 greater than the receipts from internal revenue during that year, and lacks but 813,000,000 of being equal to the aggregate receipts from customs for the same period. The loss sus tained during the last two fiscal years, compared with 1873, estimating the economic value of the immigrant alone, and not considering what would have been added to the national wealth in two years by their labor, aggregates a sum which would more than pay the interest on the national debt for three years. A Dirty Business.— We clip the fol lowing paragraph from the Nashville American: The Mississippi Radicals are circulating a report to the effect that Senator Gordon in his Grenada speech, declared this elec tion must be carried, even though blood be shed,” and that Maj. Chalmers made use of similar language on the same occasion. This is emphatically denied by the Jack son Clarion, which says that the only refer ence to “ blood ” was made by Gen. E. C. Walthall, who declared that “ colored people who desire to vote our ticket will be pro tected in their right to do so, if it takes the blood of white men to do it ! ” To what base uses has" Reconstruc tion driven some of the white men of the South ! It must have been edify ing to see the scramble for negro votes in Charleston, and if Gen. Walthall should lose his life for negro fran chise we should feel sorry for him and his family. Alcorn— Friar’s Point, Miss., is the residence of Alcorn, and his scallawag doctrines are coming home to roost. The conflict at that place was caused by political rivalry between the white Senator, elected by negro votes, and a mulatto sheriff who heads an Ames faction. Of the two we think the white man the more despicable, and wish ho and his yellow competitor would fight the matter out. All of the troubles in Mississippi may be chiefly traced to this renegade Senator, who stands be before the country as a man raised to power by the blacks, while his daugh ter has to run from some of her father’s former friends and chums. It is a dis gusting spectacle, and we pity tho family of any decent white man whose blood is spilled for such a demagogue and such a cause. Phillips-Schurz. —The redoubtable Wendell Phillips has written a long answer to Carl Schurz’s speech on the finances. It has some weak points, and it is the battle of professor against professor. Butler will talk more hard sense in ten minutes, on this question, than either Phillips or Schu'rz would in ten hours. His speech on the 14th at New York will be a powerful one. Business.— The Tuscumbia North Alabamian says: “The less gold we have to pay out, the sooner we can re turn to a specie basis.” Suppose tho South had required gold for her cotton crop this year, where would it havo come from? Nota Bene —Correspondents who write on both sides of the paper used in conveying their ideas need not com plain if their favors fail to get into type. DAVIS AND GRANT. An Ex-President and a Live Execu tive in St. Louis at the Same Time- How an Opportunity was Lost. Commenting upon the presence of Davis and Grant in St. Louis, the other day, the Times of that place says: “The giotesqueness of fate and her ordaiuments were never better illus trated than by the accidental presence of these two historical figures in the same city. Before President Grant was even so much as heard of outside of the village where ho grow to early manhood, ex-President Davis had earned a national reputation as a sol dier and statesman. By reason of his universal recognition the one was call ed to the leadership of a great nation, while yet the other was hanging around the lobby of an obscure Gov ernor for a Lieutenant’s commission. “The one had advanced step by step along the path of preferment until there was but a single office at the dis posal of the people more eminent than those he had enjoyed left to bestow upon him. The other, untried and in experienced, had, up to this time, rarely met in his aimless wanderings a citi zen more obscure than himself. The genius of accident waves its wand and arrogantly reverses the position of both. The veteran statesman falls and is divested of both station and power, and the adventurer succeeds and is elevated to the Chief Magistracy of the restored Republic. An exhibition of manliness and generosity, as such an overture as we have suggested would have appeared, could not have failed to redound to President Grant’s per sonal reputation, and to the benefit of the country at large. A great man would never have allowed such an op- portunity to pass. A generous man would have welcomed it as a special dispensation of Providence. A com mon man would never think of it, while a small man would never dare to entertain such a proposition, even when suggested. At all events, Gen. Grant has thrown away a more than golden opportunity.” An English girl lately swam 5 miles in the Thames; another capped the effort by swimming 7 miles; and now a third plucky little creature has thrown all former feats by women in the shade The champion is said by the London Times of the 20th ult. to be about 14 years of age. She swam fairly the whole way, remaining in the water two hours and twentv seven minutes. There was only one Count at Sarato ga this year, and he left a hotel bill of S2BO for the landlord to count up. SPECIAL NOTICES. NOTICE.
