This fully answers the (jue.st.ion as to wln-tlnT the amend inent, if adopted in North Carolina, would eliminate (In; negro from polities. A reduction from 11,177 to 1 I7:i in the city where the negro is hotter educated and posse.--es more property than any when; else in the State, is a fact that iioltody can get around. The negros are said to he better educated in this city than in any other portion of the United States. The public schoois hen; are in a high state of efliciency,and have been open lo the colored youth for more Mian twenty-five years. The number of negroes is smaller here than in most Southern cities, being in the proportion of about four whiles to o.i negro. Hero the negroes get better wages than in any other parish tall coun ties here are called iiari.-slie.si, and ligence than in the farming secliuns of the hi tale. Jf in this city, where the negro i.s superior lo his brother on the sugar and cotton plantation:'., the negro vote lias "swunk" from 11 177 to l,l'.t.'i, the proportion of shrinkage is said to be even larger in the rural distriets. 1 will go to some of the country precincts later and give the olticial liures.
