OHAB LE8TON?
SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 2, 18G5._
It would APPEAR, from publications from the
North, that President Johnson designs visiting
JUohmond, and we bcttorc wo express the common
wish of our citizens in soliciting an extension of
liin excursion to this place. Apart from the feed
ing of personal satisfaction the occasion would in
apta), it could Bcarcoly fail of advantages to us,
and, perhaps, oven to tho whole country. To us
it is of interest that the true ?tato of facts and
fooling should bo known. Tho contest ended,
thero is an honest and ?m anxious wish to accept
tho situation precisely as it may be. But what it
may be?what tho form in which it may he heat
accepted?what precisely is incumbent cm us, and
to what extent it may bo possible to comply with
requisitions on this subject is not generally or accu
rately conceived, and there is nothing that would
?o readily tend to tho full elucidation of these mat
tors im tho personal presence and expressions of
tho Chief Magistrate himself.
Tuero scorn to be cemilioting views as to the
oxact situation of tho South. Among organs of
-public sentiment it would seem to bo assumed, by
aomo, that (he States ave conquered, and that
their highest obligations arc to abnegate tlicm
aelvcs, to nbstain from any questions ?? to the in
tentions of power respecting us; and, In fact, to
Stand without the discourtesy or boldness of even
a wish or purpoBC in reference to our futuro stato.
3Jy others it scorns to be assumed that, resistance
ended, theso are not Provinces but States, con
tinuing constituents of the Union; that it is not
moro their privilege than their obligation, as such
integral portions of the republic, to affirm them
selves, und ?o whatever may bo incumbent and
proper within that responsible position. There is,
wo bolievo, no spirit of obstinacy amongst us: no
disposition to contest the condition, whatever that
may be; but to act in exercise of just those rigid a
which belong to us in the situation in which we
Lavo been placed, with an earnest wish to preserve
our own internal order and woll-boing, and an
cepiolly oaruest wish to advanco the welfare of our
common country.
- As to tho actions and coui?C of conduct that
may be best, and most accordant with these ends,
the President, from his central position, will be
most competent to speak; as well from the por
aonal and political character of that eminent ofli
ccr as from his official position, he has come to be
regarded as tho fair and just authority upon the
?ubjeet of our political course. It is believed he
is not only most competent to say what must be
done and what ought to be doue, but that he will
bo influenced in his utterances by tho single pul
poso to bring about the best and most permanent
results for all; and at this time, when we arc about
assembling in convention, with lit Mo light to guide
ns, it is especially important that we should have
tho countenance and counsel of that eminent au
thority. Tho visit of tho President, if that should
vSSST, would doubtless occasion tho visit also of
our Provisional Govornor, whom also our citizens
would bo glad to meet; and, wo arc assured, that
happy offects, both to tho spirit and condition of
our people, would result.
It has been stated that measures have been
taken by our leading citizens to extend an invita
tion to tho President to so extend his visit, and wo
truly hopo their action may be in time to accom
plish that purpose, if in the present state of af
fair's it bo possible.
? ?
Street Railways.
Among tho measures of public improvomont,
first in ordor in tho resumption of business, we
would certainly suggest tho work of constructing
Street railways in our city. JJoforo the war the
want was felt, and we beliovo generally appreci
ated, and it was in contemplation of active and
outorpriaing mon to undertake tho work. Tho
importance of such an cntcrpriso is as great now
aa it was then. The considerations of convenience
and economy in travel and transportation, of in
convenience resulting from drays and other wheel
-vehicles in our crowded atrcots, the noise, dust
and damago to tho streets and ways, all operate
-How as they did before, and as a measure of pub
lic interest, therefore, there can be little question,
wo presume, as to its utility. It happons, howev
er, in this as in other matters, that tho men to
oxocuto a work liko this are forced to consider lesa
tho public utility than the private emolumenta of
noch an enterprise. And it is to that question,
therefore, we must address our remarks with any
.prospect of success.
We are impressed, however, with the belief that
it will bo profitable. Certainly there is now a
greater prospoot. of profit than there could have
lieen at any other time. It ia reasonably certain
that our population will bo larger than it has been.
"JL'horo will bo a necessary tendency in tho colored
race from all the region round about to rush to
town. Whether they may have, or have not, any
-cortain moans of making money thoy will risk it
Jio matter how great the chanco against them.
But very many will lind tho means of living. They
will Uve on little. Their clothing will bo plain, if
?inch only can be had. Their food and lodging will not
lie costly. With tho necessaries of subsistouco Ihoy
will bo content, or they will put up with even leas,
rather than leave tho excitements of tho city. And
to mako tho meliorate fund for such a purpose,
Ihoy will be ready for all tho little trades and han
dicrafts that can possibly bo put in practice. Of
?uch a population this town has heretofore had no
orporionee. The handicrafts men and women of
Taris. Dublin, or Philadelphia, or Now. York even,
constitute perhaps tho largest portion of their po
pulation?of Paris and Dublin much tho largost,
And that also would 'aecm to be the caso with Phil
adelphia, from the fact that whilo, by tho cehsus of
1850, its exports wore only valued at about six mil
lions, tho exports of Charleston woro valuod at
.Just four times as much. It is cortain that the
immense populationj?? 700,000 in Philadelphia
could not be supported upon a trado whoso exporta
woro only six million?. Or if ao, that Charleston
?mould have supported a much larger population
on a trado the exports of which woro $24,000,000.
Trade, thercforo, ia no necoaaary indication of
tho aizo of a town. It ia only a kind of skeleton
tor population to form on, and whether it shall ao
form or not?whether this skeleton ahall bo fillod
out to its full capacity of dovolopmont?doponda
tipon tho question whetkor the conditiona of tho
?place aro aueh'aeUo sustain ita fuil aharo ofcollate

not boen auch hitherto.: The trado of Charleston,
hitherto, would havo been sufficient, for a popula
tion of many hundred thousands; but othor condi
tions did not concur. Thero ia reason to believe
they will concur now. Of tho trado we havo had,
it ia to bo expected that bnt a ppf tion will bo ro
vivocl From tho chango in our labor ayatem, it
ia unroaaonablo. ?o expect tljat our, four hundred
.and fifty thousand bale* if'doiton- will all be re?

Louisiana Politics?
TUE " CON3EUY.VTIVE " ttMOOaSL
The " Conservatives " of Louisiana, who seoin to
bo regaining all their former in?ueuce in that
Stale, liavo just issued a circular address, laying
?lown a platform and proposing the organization
of "Conservativo" clubs. The platform proposes
tho support of tho Union, the administration of
President Johnson and the reorganisation policy
I of Governor Wells: tho maintenance of the right
of eulTrago as now established by the Constitution
of Louisiana, in opposition to the dictation of Con
gress, or its extension to the colored population;
the sustaining all rights of the State as thoy ex
isted before tho war, except slavery; opposition to
religious ?piestions in politics, and secret political
organizations ; and full and complete amnesty
relative to the late secession. It has been report
ed that the man acting as Mayor of New Orleans
under Govoruor Wells' appointment, is included
under the last hoad, having been a rebel editor.
The StateExecutivo "Conservative" Committee
accordingly recommend tho ' Conservatives" of
every representative district and parish to organ
ize Conservative clubs, representatives of which
shall bo members of the State Convention.
This Conservative patty appears to be made up
of old citizens of the State, who were hugely in
sympathy with the secession movement ami the
administration of the late Governor MoortE.
Condition of Southern Fl'cctlmen.
Tho Mobile Register, of the 9th inst., says on
this subject:
"Now, what arc the facts patent to all men here,
Northern or Southern, who seo with unprejudiced
eyes"' Take this city. It is full of negro servants,
yet we believe we are within the bonds of truth
when we allege that nearly ?mc-hnlf the families iu
this city are without cook's in their kitchens. Tho
negro women find it too hot to cook at this soason
of the ?roar. They refuse to work for the really
high wages which*families aro anxious to pay for
their services. Stopping with a gentleman into his
houso yesterday, he pointed to the pavement in
front of his dwelling; lie remarked, the only way I
can got these pavements swept is to do it myself.
I cannot hire a servant to do anything. He was a
man of fortuno, lived like a gontleman, and was a
kind, good master to his servants. Inside the
houso the gentleman's wife informed us that she
had no cook, and that a boy she had hired from the
Frecdnieu's Bureau was ill with fever, and she had
to nurse him herself. In the great majority of I
cases, when a negro servant can be prevailed upon
to enter your service, ho is so idlo and so stutTe?!
with false notions of his freedom, that they are
rather a burthen than a help to the faniilv. "With
these facts beforo us, wo read paragraphs in the
radical press like tho following from one of their
organs in St. Louis;
"It is, perhaps, worthy of notice, that Virginia,
so long distinguished for her pretension to supe
rior civilization, is probably tho worst of all the
rebol States in the treatment which is pursuetl to
wards the emancipated blacks, lier slavi-holdum
appear to excel in tho ingonuity of their expedients
to rob tho poor negroes of their labor, without
rendering tnem more than tho shadow of remune
ration, and to make their condition as freemen in
tolerable. It is even charged upon them that, in
ecrtain localities, they have adopted the policv of
turning their servants, who have worn themsnlvcH
out iu doing their bidding, upon the world to
perish, without care and without protection."
So far from "robbing tho poor negroes of their
labor," tho dimculty is to got thoir labor, for wa
ges whioh would bo doomed exorbitant at the
North. The South is full of work to be done, and
in cities and on plantations the cry is for laborers
for a liberal compensation. In the face of this de
mand, tho negroes are roaming about the country
or clustering around the towns picking up a pre
carious existence, and, as a natural conaeqnence,
sickening and dying by thousands. A gentleman
jiiBt from Memphis tells us that 25,000 of these
Noma?la arc squatted around the outskirts of that
city, the men doing nothing, and the women dc
peiiilent on what thoy can gam from the troops.
Sickness and death aro holding high carnival* in
their midst. And do we of the South not pity
those poor people? From the bottom of our heart's
wo do.
. ? ?
The London Times on the Negko.?Tho London
Times speaks as follows of the present condition
of the negroes :
Helpless, impulsive, ignorant, with little pay
mont to expect for regular work, with ease, new
found liberty, ami opportunity to tempt them to
violence and "plunder, can we wonder ir the exist
ing industry.of the South has very little to hope
from the assistance of tho black freedmuii, and if,
on" the" other hand; the groat mass of the slaves
seems destined to perish iogether with the system
which, if it tyraunizod over, brutalized, and de
graded thorn, had, at any rate, tho merit of pro
viding them with food, lodging antl clothing.
It is easy for a viotorious Government by a few
words to strike off tho fetters of tho slave, and
suddenly dislocate and dostroy tho industry of a
whole community, but it is not easy for it to find
an .answer- to -this awful question, which it has
raised for itself, hud which every day more and
morb lmportunoly demanda an-auswer. J

Who is the Governor o? Louisiana??The
Now Orleans Picayune of tho 19th says :
"The statement first published in Washington,
and communicated by Washington correspondents
to Northern journals, that Governor wells has
beon appointed Provisional Governor of this State,
has not been confirmed, thus far, by any official no
tijlcatiqnjo Die (ipnernort Ho has received no in
timation of his appointment., exoopt what is statod
in thopapera. Thoro is a difficulty in the way of
Gov. Wolla'a appointment which wo imagino is the
causo of tho delay, and is a source of no little em
barrassment. His present tenure rests upon the
oloction hold under tho Constitution of 1864. In
his first proclamation, issued after his return from
Washington, somo two months ago, Gov. Wells
rocngnizod the Constitution of 18(34 as still binding
upon the people of tho State, and has made bis ap
pointments and shaped his administration accord
ing to its provisions. His appointment as Provi
sional Governor, on a footing with Governors
Sharkoy, Barry ..and. Helden, would ho a virtual
setting aside of the Constitution of 1864."
i ?> ?
. Sonio of the English statistics for the past year
arn of interest. The cost of tho police amounted
in round numbers to ?1,700,000, or ?43,000 in ox
cess of 1863. In England and Walos thoro woro
100,067 cases of drunkenness or drunk?m behavior,
against 94,745 in 1868. In England alone 51,058
offences, groat and small, were committed, 28.704
persons woro arrested, and 18,220 appeared boforo
tho courts. Coroners verdiots woro passed upon
1337 suicides?968 men, 859 womon. The average
for the six yoars?1858-'68?establishes a propor
