THE NKKO OI KSTIOS MastHkeii its place at the front with offensive and needless prominence. Oflcn sivc, Kvause in the hands of the enemies of the South it is made the oeeasioti ol false charges and statements, denuncia tions, and olitrusive intermeddling in its affairs; and needless, localise without the offensive uses of the subject, the ne groes were quietly and amialily adapting themselves to the position to which they hit fitted, not so much hy race adapta lion, as I iv their inanilitv as yet. in a novel and trying stage of existence tc iiunlifv themselves for the duties into which false and selfish friends would thrust them. The Anglo-Saxon was un able to tit himself only long ages ol very arduous training for the conduct of free ifoveriiment, and for the submission to the laws inseparable from the satetr and perietiiitv of such government. Very many recent incidents make it iiicstion able whether he has yet obtained the re quisite capacities for self-control. Mow then can it lie cxiected that the negro without any traditions except those ot barbarism and servitude, he expected to take an equal place alongside of the race which has worked out its salvation by painful trial, aided by the most enlight ened human counsel, exjierience and guidance. Cranting that the negro has such inherent qualities that will make him the equal he claims. 01 is claimed, to be. time is needed to develop them. That thcexX'ctationsof his false friends are vain even from their own point ol view is illustrated by their readiness, a.' a last resort, to curtail the Southern con gressional representation in congress which can be done only by denying the right of suffrage to the negro. Ilecease: to lie "the man and brother" the moment he ceases to be useful to the Republican party. He is useless if the I'einocrats, as is alleged, deny him the privilege of a fair vote; he is useless if he does not vote at all. as is the course suggested by some ol the lending negroes in despair at the equal recognition denied them by tht party that claims ownership of them; and lie is worse than useless if he vote a Pemocratic ticket. Hut in each and every case it is the question ol utility that enters into the consideration of his white political friends, and it is the ques tion of ascertaining the assurance of this utility that occasions the present agita tion ol the subject. Hut one thing seems certainly determined. The issue must In decided on Southern soil. Humanity yields to cxiedicney ; and the negro will not lie invited to end his troubles and at tain his alleged equnlitv on Northern ter ritory. Colonization upon the sacred soil of freedom is not to beencouraged. I'pon this and other questions con nected with the solution of the problem, the Philadelphia Kecord has the follow ing, which is wise, in which Southern men concur, and upon which they have con scientiously and also judiciously acted: "The scheme ol colonizing the negroes in Mexico or Africa is still more imprac ticable and foolish. The negroes of the South preler to remain where they are, and they cannot be driven trout their homes bv force. If thev could he deported by violence or with theirown assent, their removal would turn many wealthy and cultivated regions of the country into wastes. "The true methods of solving the ne gro problem' consist in securing the col ored people in all the political and social rights to which they are entitled; in dis counting ail appeals to race hatreds and fears; in frowning down the mischievous partisanship which seeks to mnkcthecol ored race a separate factor in American politics; and in helping the negroes toob tain such education as would enable them to better dischargetheduticsof American citizenship. The colored people of the 1'nited States could then be left to work out their own political salvation. "Much of the talk of 'solving the negro problem' Mimes from people who would have quite enough to do in satisfactorily solving the problem of their own rela tions to societv." THK IMTlvHKATIONAI. (iKKHS CON. Is now in the full enjoyment of its tour t li rough the Nort hern and Western Sta tes; and with the splendid, though somewhat cool October weather, the beautiful, highly improved and apparently pros iierous country through which its path is shaped to run, it will no doubt prove a memorably pleasant excursion. But it would seem that it is to lie nothing more than a splendid picnic, fruitless in every thing but present pleasure. There seems to he a retributive justice in such result; for Mr. Blaine, or those having its direc tion, seems to have been at pains to divest it of all national significance by section alizing it in exhibiting only one part of the country. What must the foreign visi tor conclude, when, in pretending to dis play before his eyes the full strength of the grent North American Republic, only one part otthe picture is shown him, and the other part is hidden us unworthy to lie seen ? What must he think when one half is kept in the back ground as having no lot nor part in the affairs of the great nation whose people, whose products, whose progress, whose unity he is invited to inspect as models for his adoption ? Will he lielieve the unity to be so strong, the products so valuable, the progress so great as to justify the boastfulness of the llrcat Republic in so vaunting the solidi ty of its strength, the infinitude of its re sources, the marvelousness of its pro gress? Those visitors arc among the wise men of the countries they represent. While they may lie amused, they are too intelli gent to be deceived. They are not to be caught with chaff. The great object of congress might be assumed to be the es tablishment of closer commercial rela tions between all the American republics, having a hemisphere of their own, and with natural ties and mutual interests to draw them together. Hut the foundation of such commercial relations is mutual and reciprocal advantage. Hut that ad vantage is denied by the tariff system of the 1'nited States to the other parties to the contract. While duties almost pro hibitory are laid upon the products of Mexico, Central and South America, it is a vain exiectalion that these States will weakly abstain from a counteracting re taliation. They are far more astute than they are assumed to lie by those who think to overreach them by receptions, luncheons and railroad tours. Long and intimate relations with the European commercial icople, anil the sense of the advantages they have enjoyed through the lilierality of Kuriqiean systems are a bar to any easy conquest through tin blandishments of Mr. Blaine, or tin American system, because in that they see the barriers of a tariff wall erected for the protection of siecial American inter ests limited to the aggrandizement of a few, and oierating to the detriment ol the many. And so the congress may meet and bow ami smile and interchange - . ,i o :..i. empty compliments m which mc npiunan oennles are all skilful adepts; anil then go home, still satislied, that as thing stand, it will lie lielter for the Spanish re publics to go on trading with Great Britain, or I'rance or Germany, from whom they can buy at lower prices and sell at higher profits than withthel'nited States which pursues its general, unwise and hurtful policy, even to thedanmgeof its own people, by the enforcement ol a tariff, high and almost prohibitory. And so the congress will dism-rsi. and its Southern memlicrs go to their distant homes with pleasant memories and en lightened exiericnce, to buy and sell it their old course of trade with lluropc. It strikes us with surprise that Kuglish law methods so illustrated by the pro- I'ouudest learning, and fortified by the experience of centuries should be so slow to adopt the just and common sense system of appeals. It maybe that the Ku glish law, drawing its precedents trom a remote legal antiquity, anil finding them most authoritative at a period when the will or the wish of royalty was more po tent than the dues of mercy and justice, is inclined to give sanctity to precedents, anil to go, as in the earlier davs. straight to its mark, unbllcrent to the pleadings of humanity, Kuglish Con servative temjier in tin' law. as in every thing else, holds fast to established cus tom. A sentence once pronounud is final, with only a hope of the merciful inter position o the sovereign, to be obtained through the agency of the home secre tary. The delect, nay the abhorrent cruelty exercised by a delegated subordi nate power, with absolute right to dis pose of the issues of lite and death, was forcibly presented in the recent case of Mrs. Maybrick. She was condemned lo lie hung, and the execution was fixed for thecltd of a period of three weeks. Ibqie lor her rested on application for reprieve. ir commutation by the home secretary ; ind that functionary, with heavy gravi ty, hesitated liecause if lie took any step in morcy to the condemned woman, it would be rel Hike to the judge who in el icit charged the jury to find a verdict of uilty, and then sentenced her to death. The woman, possibly guiltless, might hang, but the judge must not lie offended by calling his wisdom and justice inques- tion, or violating the hoary laws of offi cial etiquette. It was the conflict lie- t ween mcrcv to save a human life, and mity to maintain the integrity of cus tom. Hut in I he discussion of the verdict ami subsequent proceedings to stay itseffects, the absurdity of the present system dawned upon the legal anil the general public; and now a bill is framed to lie submitted to Parliament to create a court of apiieals, to consist of seven judges to hear eases brought up from the decisions of the lower courts; recogniz ing by this action, what has long been known in the 1'nited States, the fallibility of judges and juries, and the possibility that error can tie made by one tribunal which may be corrected in another; a possibility the English system appears never to have dreamed of.

A GREAT PAPKR Was the last Sunday's issue of the At lanta Constitution. It was gotten up to greet the opening day of the KxHisition. and to prove to the crowd of visitors what a great place Atlanta was. The enterprise of the Constitution was mar velous, and has not lieen surpassed by any of the great northern dailies. The issue filled 5li pages; and of the work re quired, the Constitution says: It requires over UtiO columns" of adver tising to carry the business to the public, and about seventy columns to carrv the news. It requires over 22,000 pounds of paper to carry this single edition ol the Constitution, which is to say over eleven tons of white paper. The type, if set in book form, would make two large volumes of 350 paces each, and it re quired more than sixty printers, and as many more stereotypers, pressmen, proof readers ann foremen to ao tne mechanical work.
