The conference lor tho discussion of the race problem In tlie South sssi m bled in Montgomery, Ala., on the sib ! lost., anu at the opening m>-Ii'h thero was onu iif tin*, largest aud moi t ropre? suutativc gatherings over st.cn In that city. This conference is held under tho auspices of the Southern Society for tho promotion of the ?uuly of the race conditions and problems in the Mouth. Governor Johnston made an ad-' dress of welcome on behalf of the i State, and gavo Interesting facts and ligures. In Alabamaconsiderable pro , gross bus been made In thu lino ol edu? i eating tho negro. The school fu:d is I paid almost entirely by the whltt ? and distributed impartially to children ol both races. Convict records show n steadily in creasing number of negro convict.-. The rocord shows 81), per cent of cou victs are negroes, there Doing now in tho penitenttury 253 whiles and 2,147 negroes. Of tho total of J,l 17 colored convicts ihi."> mo con lined for serious crimes. On October l, 1878, there wore U64 Statu convlots against 1,700 now. ?? Wo have now one negro in tho peni tentiary for each :'>17 of population, I and onu whltO for each 3,2470," said the Governor. "Tho negro who accumu lates property becomes a oonservativo citizen, ceases to listen to political agitators and desires no roturn of ir responsible and oorrupt legislation. The more he accumulates thu groati r his interest in the reign of law and tho preservation ol peace."' Hon. John B.Gaston,oi Montgomery, as temporary chairman, Introduced lion, liiiary A. Herbert cx-seoretary of tho navy, who made the. introduc tory Bpeeoh to the able discussions which followed, in which ho contend od that tho two races must abide to gether in the Southorn States, and that we must work out thu problem as best wc can in tho providence of God. Mo began by thanking the oeh ty for tho honor conferred, and said th< negro question had boon always with tho people of tho South and wou d abide with them, in one phase or another. Tho present is happily au era of good feeling between the sec tions, more complete and perfect than any that has ever existed. The .'ore . iilii has been dropped, ibe negro was not in tho Presidential campaign of 1806; tho new constitution of Missis sippi has been decided by the supreme court of the. United States to bo. valid, and we have tho sympathy ol thought fu) men In the North to an extent that never before existed. Sociologists In that section arc studying our situation. No paper could portray more clearly the gravity of tho problems now before tho South than an address by Prof. Wlllcox, i hlof statistician of the const. , on negro uriminology, dellvorod at Saratoga last summer. Lot u < so use. this op portunity that all of our fellow clti/.ens wbo may follow these proceedings shall see that wo are hero to sco what can be dono towards tfcu purification of the. ballot box, tin: prot ctlon of our women and tho ad jitotmont of the ro tations between the two races In such a spirit of moderation, ohurlty urn! justice us shall stroogthen anew the foundations of government and p r potuato its blessings to our children. Tho two races arc here, and must, abide together. Tbc deportation ol eight or ten millions of blacks is an Impossibility. Prof. Cope, the dis tinguished natural ist of the Ur.i r.!\y of Pennsylvania, a few years aco, after a dispassionate study of the dltVercncos betweon the white mau and the negro, in which he olearjy pointed out the in feriority of the negro, recommended that the nogro, at whatever cost should be deported. His fear was that the outcome i;. the Sou'.ii was to be atuul gauiation and tho consequent d< struc tion of a large portion of the 11 nest race upon earth. Necessity has compelled us I" resort to election methods which wo desire to abandon. The results of the expen diture of millions on negro education has been bo unsatisfactory that some good pcopio arc advocating the aban ? lontnent ol tho system. The cost of trying negroes for crime la out of all proportion to the cost of trying white men : and a^auit.-; by negroes upon white women have brought us to lynch law. These questions w?- are hero to discuss, idleness among uegroei undoubtedly growing and crime in creasing. Prof. Wlllcox statt s f^ets showing ldlone8S to a degree that Is Btartlicg, and be gives census figures to show us that in the South the crimes of negroes, compared according to population with whites were, In 1890, as a little less than ? to 1, and in the North considerably over 5 to I. Govern ment statistics show that for M) yuan . beginning with 1870, of births among the negroes of the District of Columbia 19.0 per cent, were Illegitimate, and that for the next period of II years, ending with 1899, the percentage of Illegitimate births was 26.1), Crimes, however, in tho district, by the figures appear to be only a little over 2 to I, according to population?which is de cidedly in favor of the district. The situation becomes graver still when we consider the assault by a negro upon a white woman. Sucn an alarming feature of tin; present situa tion was unknown when the negroes were slaves, aud remained unknown until a new generation of negroes born in freedom, nad grown into manhood; and thi.s after ail our i iTortS to eh - vato the negro by education. What does this mean? Two answers have I been suggested; one, that these crimes ' proceed irom a Bplrit of revenge. Prof. Wlllcox, who suggests this, says that ' such crimes frequently resulted during tho middle ages from hatred of the church. Tho other theory is, that; theso crimes indicate a tendency among ' theso people, whoso ancestors some of them a few generations ago were sav ages, to relapse into barbarism. Ho hoped public opinion would settle down on the idea that wo cannot stop crimes agaim-t WOmon by ceasing to eduoate tho negro. If the orimocomes j from the instincts Of the barbarian, wo ! cannot prevent it by ceasing to cdu* eate; if it is prompted by revenge, \v cannot cure the. situation by coaslog to educate. But whilo continuing to urge education, I would not have you undi r f st!mate tho task that is beforo ns. The negro id not tho equal of the white man; BOlonce and history alike pro claim this truth. His skull is thicker and his brain sinallor than the white man's and Prof. Cope tolls us that tho sutures of tho skull which promote growth ar.d expansion, usually grow Up, as tbey do not In the white man's at about the age of 11 years. Tim no gro has nr vor civilized himself. Ho has always been a savago in Africa. !n llayti and San Domingo during a century of SOlf-gOVOmmont be : >ei ret rograded. In tho British ami Danish Webt Indies he has made little pro green. Tho ii ouicnt of emancipation was a critical period in the history of tho Southern negro. He had not been taught to provide for the morrow. Lib erty brought responsibilities for which ho was utterly uotqual; and fal-o teachings ju t not) might do him in calculable uijjry. Abraham Lincoln knew that tho negro, who had never learned to take caro of himself, was not competent to aid In taking caro of tho State And so Mr. Lincoln's plan of reconstruction was to bring back tho seceded States Into tho Union with only such voters U9 were qualified un der tho laws of tho several states. Mr. Lincon had prepared and read in his cabinet the proclamation for the re habilitation of North Carolina, which was the basis of President Johnson's plans.

It is said that tho reduction ' generally will bo about, ton per cent.! A commtttoo was appointed to get up too price list. It is understood that tue reduction in tho invoioe price to dispensers will ' not aiTeot prices to eousumers, uuu the objeot ot the reduction, which is seid to nave been aooordlng to legislative dlreotlons, is to give the ottic-< and towns and the counties moro of the profits and reduce tho annual fund paid to the genoral school fund to about I ?7? uot) a year. Heretofore about$100,- j ub'j has been paid annually, aud it is asserted that if this is kept up the i schools wlii have tho v/hoh business. There ere many counties, however which always devote the money re ceived from tho dispensary to school purposes. There are. others which uso j it for general purposes and no leglsla tlve requirement has been made us to | disposition, A heor dispensary was established j at Alken. This dispensary was at one time o'osed, nod itdiil noteome withiu the reoont action of the board allowing dispensers to bold their jobs until ' June. It was also ordered that die* pensors lu tho various towns; should keep alcohol on hand for too use of druggists. Several distillers in some parts of j the State who have boon granted licenses y:ave established tbolr distille ries within two miles i f a school house or church. Tboy were given thirty days to get out or looo their license. A circular was directed to ba sent to every board of control, ordering that eight cent-.. ..Mould be paid for half-pint.

CaKKERY'S DEFEAT.?-Of all tho men who have rooontly sustained de feat, because of their desertion of the party organization, tho caje of Senator Oaffery, of Louisiana, Is the worst, Thero has boon elected to the Loui siana Legislature not a .-ingle man who will veto for Cattery's return to the Sonate, livor sinoo the Louisiana Senator presided over the gold Stan* dura mooting at Indianapolis the Do moorats of Louisiana bavo Mad It in for him. In tho campaign which has just closed, and which resulted in an Overwhelming victory for the re gular ticket, Senator CalVery's son headed tho bolting ticket, and the Senator himself went through tho State, saying all the hard things ho knew how about tho regular Demo crats. Tho result was, howevir, an overwhelming do feat for tho Gallery family. Ono by one the Domoorats who h.ft the party organization in 1890 have been weeded out of Oongross, Lindsay aud CalYery are the last, and the successor to eacn has been named. ; ? According to a Washington special in tho Now York Tribune disappoint- i meat was expressed In the oHloo of the 1 Third Assistant Postmaster Gonoral I when It v/i*s discovered that the paraf line papor usi d for tho ne w postage j stump books only prevents adhesion for a few days, probublv a week, und | then it appears to lose Its ciTeot on* tirely, and tho /.amps bo$ouio glued to tho pages as though dq1 preparation was employee to pr?VSnt adhesion.

They wero attei wards ? eloasi d uudur a writ ol habeas corpus from the Federal court, and w?. rc never tried again Judgo Wlllard was elected to the bench of tho StUtO supreme court or ganiv.od under tho coobtttutiou of I80S by tho legislature that met horo in tho summer of that year. F. J, Moses, Sr., was elected chief justice und S. L. liege thu other aSbOOlatu Moms was for some mouths under political uis abilities, co that the court in that po- I rled consisted of Wlllard and liege. The lat*.or so far uutit for tho post that he never wrote a single opinion. Pho work of tho court thus foil almost on it rely upon Justlc 1 Wlllard. .1 udgu Wniard came most promiuent ly into public notice In tin; content for tho possession of tho State government following the election of November 7, I87ti. That contest, in its different pauses, was promptly taken by thu Democratic levdora Into the supremo court. Tho case most important in its cods* ijuonces was tbo State ? x rel. Wallace vs. Uayue, secretary of Stato, ! and W. M. Mackey. On the face of 1 the returns tbo Democrats bad a ma 1 jority of tho 124 mombors making up the house of representatives. Hut tue { St.Ao board of canvass* rs (composed of! Republican otlice-holdorb) withhold ccrtilicate.-. from tho members el<-:et | from Laurens and lOdgelleld?thus giv ing tbo Ltopublioaus a majority of the membors holding uortllioates. Tnc 1 Republicans organized with Id. W. M. | Mackey as speaker, but with tos.- than j a majority ot 1-1 mombors. The Demoorats organized with Wm ii. , Wallace as apt ftker, having a majority 1 of the 124, tnemhi r0 from Rdgctieid und I Laurens couoied. iioyno, secretary of I statij. bad doilvurod to Mackey tho ru turns of tho vol.. for governor, to h aggregated and declared in joint ses sion of the general assembly. Tue pro- j cecdiugs in the supremo court wero upon an application for a writ of . man iumus to compel Hay no aud] Muckoy to dellvor to Speaker Wallace the returns mentioned. The case, on ! the main issue, went off on a question rait-cd by tho court, and was never afterwards presented for adjudication. 1 Hut the court nevertheless decided | that tnc Waiiace hou.se was the lawful . house of roprescotallvcsof South (.'uro 1 liua. That decision praeti .ally de termined the contest of the whllu peo ple under Wade. Hampton for the j possession i.f the state government unlawfully claimed by D. If. Chamber- | lain and Iiis followers. There can tie little doubt that Judge ; Wlllard deserved ohlof urodit lor tho staud tuiien by tiie supreme court in j thU case. Moses was compulsublo and | Wright was purchasable. A decision' contrary to precedent would not have been dilllcult to either. During the. ar gument Willard's purpose was mani fested by ins frequent interruption - of iho counsel lor Hay no and Mackey. Toe propositions thus advanced (riot { disputed by Moses or Wricht) unuer- 1 lay the judgmeut ronderod. There can no little doubt that one of Willard's ! objects was to bold Moses and Wright 10 tl eir mquiiscer.ee and leave them no excuse to dodge or to recede. The decision of the court was only mich a> it should have. been. Hut an opposite conclusion would have had the .-unction 1 of lawyers like Chamberlain and Cor bio of thu Slate, .Judge Settio of North Carolina and numerous legal lights of Republican proclivities in Washington. At, all events an adverse dcoision would nave brought. DO end of trouble upon tbo llaropto?; side in South Carolina. Such a decision would have been worth much to Wlllard, had ho chosen to ask a price fcr it. Hut bo decided accord ing to law. In the summer of 1877 Judge Wil.ard was elected chief jiibtlce to fill the va- ' nancy cutis, d by the death of Judgo) Moees?his olcvotlon duo largely to the ; known wishes of Gov. Hampton, evi dontly shared by a large body of the white peoplo of tho State. Filling the ; unoxpired term .f Moses, Chief Justice J Willard remained on tbo bone 11 till July, 1880 Judge Willard was an educated law- ' yor ambitious only of success und pro- ' forniont in his profession. His opinions In important CASOS evidenced careful preparation aud laborious research. Many of his citations were BUOh as to show that he had fully road every case, olted. Mis style was not clear?a fact probably ouu to his iove of Roe distinc tion:*. Mis opinions noed to be studied, rather than read, in order to an appro henslon of ail tho points made. Mib style lacked the clearness which mark ed tho opinions ol Moses. An illustra tion of this dlff^ronco may be had by a comparison of two decisions Involv ing practically tbo same question. Toe lirst reported decision of the. new court Slate vs. Bailey- embodied the proposition that the court was w ithout jurisdiction to review co a elu sions of laot In ruses at law, Toe opin ion was written by Judge Willard. Whether In recocfnitton of the rule of all tribunals of last resort to touch no questions except, suoh as necessarily arise on the record, or from a oousoious* ness that tho conclusion involved Wils at variance v. ItU deep-rooted ideas of tho relations of the appollato court to that below, or from whatever cause, the opinion In State va. ILiiloy failed to impress t. o hat" in general with the main proposition which wus therein embodied. So much was this thu case that one of inc. loading lawyer* of Souib Carolina, in 1870, made affidavit that ho iiinm...f and, as he verily bu ilt veil, the bar in general, had thought up to the d eel * Ion in Brlokmao vs. Ualiroad, published In that yoar, that the law was othoi than as It w?s in this latter 00b0 declared. Tho two decisions were to tho us'rio general effect--that in casos at law questions of fact were not revlowablo by tho supremo court. Tho difference was that tho opinion in Hrickman's case was written by Chief Justico Moses, a uia9tor of clear, strong Judicial Lngllsh, whilat Judgo Willard's stylo was Involved, meta physical and sometimes obscure. But the bust tribute to Judgo Willard is that in a time when corruption was widosproad. whon dishonesty was at a premium, whon olliclal mlscouduot was profitable ho kept his orinino pure. CASTOIHA.
