Northern opinions of the negro have undergone a radical chango daring the past ten years. The fanciful pictures of the negro which abolitionist enthu siasts drew before the late war and which demagogues utilized since and made the common property of the masses of Northern poopie have given place to others which, if not correct, are much nearer the truth. This change has been brought about to a large extent by reason of tbe fnct that the negro in politics has cruelly disappointed his Northern admirers, and the further fact that Northern peo ple in lar, e numbers have within the past few years visited the South and studied the negro for themselves At the close of the war, Northern politicians, in order to retain power, gave the negro the ballot. Thad The failure of Governor Hale, of New Hampahlre, is not unlikely to embarrass several prominent Republican and Demo cratic officials not only financially but politically. “Tnrr didn’t pick that stall quick •enough, did they, mamma?" asked a little boy, u he passed a grocery where eeveral cakes of Llmburger were taking a (breathing apell outside.

This is given as a sample, every department can furnish similar cases, some of them stronger and the successors of such officers are hard to select, for they, in turn arc all about equally indorsed and by the same Senators and representatives. Beyond this there are many men who have waited for this season, hoping to gain paying places only to keep from work, an<< with no desire to aid in the work of the reformation of the government. Of some of these it may be said that idleness is the severest charge that may he alleged against them, of others it is impossible to say anything good. Can it be strange then that when a selection is forced from such material the best is not always taken? What the adminis tration needs is the co-operation of Stevens’ formula was: “So many ne-1 good men every where. With this and groes, so many Republican votes,” a fair degree of patience upon the part While the proposition to givethe negro of tho people at large, a work will be the ballot was under discussion, Judge accomplished calculated to command Parsons, then provisional governor of the commendation of all just men Alabama, made a visit North,when the l The administration is courageous and project was broached to him.

The people of Geor gia, In remembrance of the fact that Mr. Voorliees assisted to insult and outrage them by the confirmation of Emory Speer, v ill have no tears to shed that he has been thus despoiled. In this connection, to-day, a prominent visiting statesmen informed me that among his friends tbe Secretary of State was considered an aspirant for the next Presidency. Going to breakfast on Decoration morning, I met a gigantic negro dressed in blue, wearing the badge of flic Grand Army of the Republic, and armed with three roses. After breakfast I saw him in the line bearing a large banner. Tbe Incident provoked a conversation with a distinguished Federal general, who, along with Sherman, went “marching through Georgia.” Ac cepting Frof. Gilliam’s figures, he ap prehends that the negroes will in time overran and gain entire control of tho South, and willthreaten the North with the same calamity. He said that be and many of his brother officers believed that the race would die out rapidly under emancipation, and were really doing the best thing to get rid of it in the quickest way. Tills is thrown in as a suggestion to those who study the great unsolved problem. The “colored brother” is quiet now, but there are not wanting strong indica tions that a reunited Republican party will again marshal him to political battle. The Tei-eorahi is wrong in the im pression that Colquitt lias bought out tbe office brokerage business ol Col. Jack Brown. The Colonel is still en gaged in business at the same old stand, but a meeting between these ancient allies in tbe corridor of tho Metropolitan n few days since was so warm and cordial to suggest a partnership; at least it gave evidence that the old comrade ship was still as warm between them when in 1880 Colquitt fixed the yoke oi the coalition ring upon the necks of the people of Georgia, and Col. Jack commanded the Chasseurs d’Afriqne in Southwest Georgia. Friends near to Mr. Cleveland, and who have opportunity to study him, are impressed with ills strong desire to do right. They say he is without political sentiment or per sonal prejudices, and that he will not make himself, or allow others to make, improper appointments, no matter what may he the consideration Accepting this estimate to he correct, it is my deliberate conviction that if some of the trne, intelligent, leading and representative men of Georgia would come here, they might do the State and people great service. The attempts of various journals in different sections to formulate a tariff policy for the administration are hardly worth attention. The subject has re ceived no attention, and cannot under the present condition of pnblic busi ness. One thing is very certain—there will lie no free trade foolishness at the next session of Con- tress. Tbe public service is not n a condition to invite tinkering witli the sources from which it is drawn, and reform in the government, its ixnon- nil, its measures and Us methods will ■till deserve and demand attention.
