' Kx-Lt.-Gov. , of New' York J Gene rul Stewart It. Woodford, .is entitled to great respect fo his dispasionate treatment of the soutb.. Nor has ' he, been withcuUoppoftunities to I obtain accurate information on soutfcern sub jeets. For be was all over v thai south during the war in the capacity of a . soldier, having a chance to bbBerye both black and white in that vaue ex pectancy which existed there during the war. Since the war he went to Kemper county in Mississippi j on the occasion of the trial of one of the Gul ly s fur tbei assassination in open day of Judge Chisholm, his daughter and sod. llo was a silent listener, but said after ward that the trial was a farcer It will be remembered that Gully waai acquit ted by "a Kemper jury, or . at any rate was not bung. '- j ' Afterwards, pending an election in Louisiana" bo visited that state and made several political addresses, no doubt felicitously as he -always does, sometimes we believe in joint discus aion., and at other, times alonc.ji So far 'as wc arc informed this is the only special advantage which General Wood lord baa had for informing himself of tbo condition and prospects! of the jioutli above ether American citizens of intelligence. The General hasideliver- cdin New Vork lately a IcdUre on 'i'Tnc Ncw South," its "present eondi tiou, socially and politically what its moral itud material future will he. He stated ai a reuson qualifying j him for tins .dutv. 'that in 1871) bo was twice callfd to the Southwest-r-once to attend a ciiuiiual trial in Mississippi and af- terwardu to tako part in the political 'canvass m Louisiana. He announced tlrac "the great mas of southjern peo plo were farmers, or engagedjin such trading and incvliamcal pursues as ag ricultiuc required." He adds that since the war the ' number of colored men Nvba owned land was steadily I increas ' iogi the- mimber of small white farmers was also increasing, and that there was A constant- tendency to divide the lare plantation into small larms. This isort of information will surprise nobody living in the south. As fast as the negroes or the poor white!, who do not own aiiy; land, can raise the means to buy- it tbey will do so.. They wii iotbuy it in largo tracts because they have- not the means. Whether Kemper : . :.. . .... j ; jj Ubt know. But it is not at all rare There arc several counties in several of the aoutheru states, where the persons ! of African descent own more 'land la the ablegate and jr capita than in ivetupcr. . There are some counties in this tate where the colored people own r- fronv fifteen to twenty thousand acres. ; This need nolle surprising when it is : considered that the colored is ah imita- live1 race. 5los of the southern people 4f Afrieau'blood, have been! familia with tbo modes of lif in an agricultur - ul country, and that to them is . the highest type of life. They aspire to it . naturally, aud among the? earliest ao- coiup;unnients ot freedom, was seen the desire to establish, homes. Whatever inference may be drawn from the fact . that the Census shows that the colored race increases more rapidly in propor tion to tbeir cumbers than the whiten, . or that they have a larger avidity for laud, aud U10UKHU4 of life which come titu independent living, must be ac costed as facta. . Gen. oodfrd ii niucU more happy iu discoursing upon the education of tbo blacks in the sou lb, aa4 education tn which subject be premises; thai the were granted them. He U thusexpli- cl: , ,-- 1 f The averse southera gt&tkman says that lie southern men do not ithink the blacks it to Tote, nor to choose pnbUe oi'ictri, nor to hold oc, nof to tact part- la makius law, and that they do uei intend they shall, or, if they wish to vote, they oust. tote as they (the w hit men) indicate. W'tdlA men must tuli. That was the whoto trcmhlo U 4 nuvheU. o1t the politicai, qucstioo and the labor jnesuon will substantial y sjcttlo itself. As to education, the lecturer was of opinion that the gt&er alsyttestcfpcpttsar education at the jsouth was Ttry tow in grade and intS tient In resolts. In addition to the cal aoiitr of war, that rt back all tdaea lioaai tbt thdestire tradition I . - Kn t)il lit M tae sou ud Uule or no obligationa to fasbdt education fur the cosmos people. The toutli held that the sates ong&t not to i e.lstitel, and that tb poor whites did not need to be. This was gradually but certainly wearing oil. ,' "I answer with perfect . faitb, yes." Ihe negro question at the south has reached solution in nearly every direc tion except in the one matter of the ballot. In one word, because, the negro by law can vote Vberefore he will vote some day. Because he will vote some day therefore the south must, for its own protection as well as his good, ed ucate him to vote wisely and suffer him to tote ireely, unawed by brutal force, unchecked by cowardly fraud. Honor toward ourselves, justice toward those whom we held within the nation against meir win ana enort, ana gooa laitn to ward the emancipated and enfranchised slaves, require us so to use our victory as tnat it snail be legally a blessing to them and to us. This we cannot do bv either turning our backs on. the past or making weak compromises of other men's rights or of our own dutits. The agricultural production of the south steadily increase. Its mineral resour ces are just beginning to be appreciated and will soon begin to be developed, Its manufacturing possibilities ; are be ing tested at many points, notably at Atlanta. That test will, before a ! de cade has passed, certainly assure the nrm establishment of manufacturing interests that shall steadily increase nrougn an our latnre history. I i The prosperity of the- south is'y at present merely speculative: We cannot reason yetfrom the old soutli to the new south. The questions are too com plex and are liable to be varied in re sults by too many' antecedent conside rations.! When we enter upon the ques tion of how much population the south, will hate in. thirty years, how much its agricultural and manufacturing pro ducts may be, what may be the status of its morality and intelligence and ed ucation, to what opulence and splendor1 she will hate arrived, we shall see how difficult it will be to foretel that future Let us'.believe, however, that the south naturally exuberant in productions, may be jealous of her advantage in the great struggle for national greatness. PLEASANT T1S8TIMONIAL. On the 5th of January, at hiV resi dence in Washington, General Joseph B. Hawley of Connecticut, former Pres ident of the -Centennial Commission, was presented with a silver urn, about eighteen inches hgb, of very artistic workmanship, by his associates on that Commission. The ( presentation" , ad dresses were made by Hon. Daniel, J. Morrell and Mr. Donaldson, of Mon tana, to which' Gen. .Hawley replied The President, Secretaries Sherman Schuns, Ramsay and Muynard and General Sherman, and a large number of Senators and Members, add gentle men and ladies spending the winter in the city were present. : The base of the urn is from the wood of tbo famous steamer Hartford which was Farragut'd Hag-shjp at Mobile then -four plinths, one cut from the timbers of the frigate ConsHtutipn, one from a California tree 4,000 years old and another from the sunken monitor Catskill. Then comes a block of gold and silver, pink manganese ore, highly polished, weighing 125 pounds, from a mine in Montana: On. this stands the pedestal proper formed from a cylin der of red Tennessee marble, mixed with black from Vermont and Ne Hampshire marble. The vase itself is made of absolutely pure silver. The handles on each "side are formed eagles holding shields of the United States and the Centennial Commission ; Gen. Hawley i a native of Richmond county, North Carol ins, and his mother was a North. Carolinian and he ban relatives on the s Cape xar. Ho has led a successful and brilliant life. Graduated at Union. College f and trained to the bar, he was an important element in the politic of his state be fore the war, and left the service as Major-General. Then he became Gov ernor of his statethen Member of Con gress and now United Bute Senator. What gate him a world-wide reputa tion was his Presidency of the Centen nial Commission. His friends think that he has deserted all the honors which bate: fallen npon him, and it may be said with truth that his literary achievements hate not fallen below his military reputation or his accomplhh menta as a statesman. AN ASTOUND13Q STATKMXr. A religious newspaper printed in New Orleans and called the OtrLttia Adcocalc, of January 13th, states (hat 40,000 murders bate been committed in the southern states since the war. This paper also asserts that there were mere murders in South Carolina in 1578, than in Jtaine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Pennsylvania, ia that year,1 The population of South Caro lina ia 1800 amounted to TOo.;. while the popeJatioa of the seren states men tioned abote In tne Census" of the same year, was 7.000,82.

A REPRESENTATION 0E COL ORED 3IKN. , THE DELEGATION. Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 14th. 'The colored delegation visited Mentor to day, and waited -upon General Garfield at bis home. The delegation was com posed of Gen R. B. Elliott, Messrs. Samuel Lee, and D. A.Straker of South Corolina ; Henry E. Curry of Teias ; James B. bevexaua. of Georgia ; George Wi Jfrice Jr., Gsorge Li. Mabson, John A. Leary, J. H. Harris, Steward Elli soir, and Bishop J. W. Hood of North Carolina. ton being received by Gen. Garfield in the parlor, Mr. Elliott,' the spokes man, addressed the President-elect as follows: t ' r "As representatives of the colored Republicans of the states of Virginia, North Carolina,, Georgia, Florida and Texas, wo have come in their behalf, and in our names, congratulate you on- your triumphant election to the high and ' responsible cfllce of Presi dentjof the United States, and to assure you that as their prayerkduring the ex citing political contest' which has so happily eventuated in your success, were fervently uttered in your behalf as the standard-bearer, of the Republi 'can party, so Bhallthcy still - pray that you may be guided by tbe divine .wis aom in sccunusi'to nil American citi zens the BLESSINGS OF LiUAtlAWS and just administration.

Suffice it, that by tbe infamous use of .tissue bal lot, by the deliberate f&btflcation of registry books and election returns, by forcible exclusion from the polls by armed mobs, by ( murder and general system of terrorism, and by the refusal in many instances (0 bold elections at precincts wbese tbe majority rf the voters are Republican!!, elticc3 have been rendered a mere farce.

K this be so, wny is it so! i MJecause a trained map is two Or tbree.men to one, in com)wi son with amuntrained man. and out side of politics, aud outside of parties' that suggestion is full, brim full, of signihcance; that to make tbe majority always powerful otr the minority is to make its members as trained and in telligent as the minority itself. That brings the equality of citizenship;- and no law cau confer and maintain in the long run a thing that is not, upheld with a reasonable degree of ' . CCLTijEE, AiiD INTELLIGENCE. Legislahan ought to do all it can. I have under these eoggestions simply to indicate that the education ol your race, in my judgment, lies at the base of the final solution of your great ques tion, and that cannot be altogether in the hands of the state or national got em ment. The , government ought to do all it properly can, - hut the natural hungerintr and thirsting for knowledge that the! Creator planted in every child must be cultivated by the parents of thee children to the last possible de gree of their ability, so that the hands' of the peoplo shall reach out and grasp in the darkness the i band of the gov ernment extended to help, and by that union of iffort time will bring what mere legislatiou alone cannot immedi ately luring. I rejoice.; that you have expressed so strongly ! and earnestly your views in regard to the necessity of your education, i nave ielt lor years that that was the final solution. Those efforts that are humble and compara tively out of sight are, in the long run, the effort that tell: I have sometimes thought that the men that sink a coder dam into the river, ana work lor months in anchoring great stones to build the solid abutments and piers, whose work is by and by flooded by the water and out of sight,-do not get their share Of the credit, ihe gaudy structure of tbe bridge that rests on these piers, and across which the trains thunder' is the' thing that strikes the eye of tho general public a great deal more. .
