last number of the army and navy journal has an interesting article embody ing some statistics that illustrate the com parative endurance efficiency and general capabilities of white aud black troops it appears from these official statistic that j the former arc in every particular superi or to the latter the total number of troops iu the uniofl i service from april 1861 to may 1865 is set down at 2,656,552 the total number . of negro troops to july 16 1865 at hut < j 186,057 — giving the proportion of about i one negro to fifteen whites the greatest j number of negro troops in service at any i one time was in the midsummer of 1805 after the fighting was over being 123,156 many of these troops saw no fighting at i all tin journal admits ' that the negro i troops displayed great aptitude for drill and discipline but contends that the expe rience of the war demonstrated the marked ! superiority of the white troops in the pow | er of resisting the diseases and hardships in i cident to service and claims that they are a much more coonominal force than negro troops the facts cited on this head are convincing at the end of october 1805 after one year's service — out of 186,057 negro troops 85,024 had been retained in seivice only 33,233 had been mustered out and 08,178 were lost to ihe service there were few desertions among them ; they had passed through comparatively little fighting and i the loss is mainly attributed to their infe rior physique and consequent inability to resist disease the report of the medical department i for the past year shows that the ratio of deaths among white troops to that of cases of sickness treated was as one to fifty-two while among negro troops it was one to twenty-nine the proportion of sick too among the latter was much larger than among the former the provost marshal general's records show that of 180,000 negro troops no less than 20 11 died of disease making a death rate of ono in se j ven excluding deaths from wounds of i the two and a half millions white troops i but 158,120 died of disease giving a death i rate exclusive of wounds of but one in sixteen eight negro soldiers died of dis ease where one died of wounds ; five white soldiers died of disease where three died of wounds it thus appears that the negro soldier power of resisting disease is less than one-half that of the white soldier the proportional deaths from wounds were many fold greater with the white than with the negro troops and the proportion al deaths from disease more than one-half haif the army and navy journal repre sents the interests of the regular service and is of course in sympathy with the white portion of the army but in these days of radicalism when the star of the negro is in the ascendant it is dangerous to disparage sambo and the journal has therefore to trim its sails skilfully to avoid giving offence to the champions of negro luni it roars you as gently as a " suck ling dove saving very cautiously at the end of his article — " it may therefore well be worth a thought how far the employ ment of colored troops is an economical measure if it be admitted that to give i hem a representation in the army with oilier citizens is a wise measure yet it must also be granted that they cannot as yet so well endure the fatigues of military service this timid assault upoll sambo's sol dieily capabilities is significant as showing what lhe army interests would do if they were allowed their way sambo is manifestly not fit for suffrage it seems be i.s not lit for the army what is he lit for por labor and

which we are bound to say he bore with great good humor though sorely puzzled at least in some instances for satisfactory an swers was one from mr coukling who wished to know what objection there was to referring these bills on reconstruction to the committee especially raised for that purpose mr ashley replied that that committee had had no meeting this session its members were otherwise largely engag ed and nothing had been done with other bills referred to it and to send these would be to bury them mr coukling thought that a poor answer from so ingenious a source and insisted that if there ever was need for a reconstruction committee there is need now ; that if they ever were quali fied for their task they were better quali fied now by months of special preparation and inquiry and that liny were far more likely to act together wisely than any other set of nun mr stevens called mr conk ling's attention to the fact that his bill was designed as a substitute for those proffered by the committee and suggested that the house could adopt them or amend his and then after commenting on the dilatorincss of the committee triumphantly asked why had not the committee met " the great commoner hardly expected the conclu sive rapier-like retort he encountered from ihe senator elect in the blandest possi ble tones he replied that if he were chair man of that committee on the part of the house or of tin senate he could answer but as he was only a member whose duty it was to come when culled and not to bummon others he could not answer the house rung with laughter mr stevens being chairman and not really wanting the committee to meet because fearing its con servative action has not convened it he glowered savagely around him and settled down grimly to a bonk he was reading
