Day for the Evening Telegraph.
FREEDMEN VS. PILLS IJ3UY.
f'vm the X Y. Tribune.
Mr. Kiclard Hwivellor, on boiu crossed in
Jtms, took to playing tho Unto, "thinking,
after mature considonUion, tunt it was a
good, Koiind, dismal instrument, not only in
uuirton with his own sad thoughts, but cal
culated to awaken a fellow-feeling in tho
bosoms of hit ueihborH." What the flute
was to Pick tho English language is to Sir.
Parker Pillr-bury. it in probably many years
since bo Las been in tho company of a hun
dred people of whom be did not honestly be
lieve and think it his duty to mention that
they were Bleeped in corruption, iimuorsod
in iniquity, and likoly iu a few days to wado
knee.-deep in hntuan gore. For a good,
steady-going Jeremiah in daily lifo, com
mend lis to him; or if it was Hezekiah
whoRe days ran backward, then Ilezekiah let it
be. With him each day is uiiiro gloomy and
ominous than the day before Liko the devout
captain in tho First South Carolina with his
liebcl prisoner, bo promises us "nothing but
the day of judgment and periods of damna
tion." This illimitable tragic power made
him effective, though depressing, as an abo
litionist. It Hcems a littlo unfortunate that
now, when slavery is abolishod, he should
turn his lurid artillery upon the froodmon.
After devoting half his life to setting thorn at
liberty he seems ready to devote tho rest of
it to proving their unworthiness of freedom;
thus treating the negroes as Sir. Sijueers did
his schoolboys, when he Ret them on their
eats by boxing one ear, and knocked them
ff by boxing tho other.
There was nothing very new in these
charges against the freedmen. They were
just what the Democratic press had boon
steadily assorting and the freedmeu steadily
disproving from tho outset of tho war. To
them liberty means license, Mr. Pillsbury
thinks; they havo a weak partiality for
whisky and for gingerbread, and are impor
fectly supplied with, elevated patriotism and
with small-tooth combs. Nothing can be
more obvious, he thinks, than that they are
unfit for tho ballot. But how the State of
South Carolina is to bo governed inasmuch
as ho does not seem to think even tho white
population very far advanced in soap and
sauctity dlh not appear. We should say
that, as the Ecclesiastical Council in Connoc
tiant reinstated tho backsliding deacon on
the ground that if tho Lord wanted a church
in West Littleton, ho must take such mate
rials as West Littleton had to otter, so, even
Mr. Pillsbury would be compelled, by his
own showing, if sot to reconstruct South
Carolina, to do it. in some degree, with the
ballots of tho unwashod.
However, these views attracted small atten
tion at the North, from their want of novelty;
and so long as they were confined to tho
Democratic press, as the 11 WW and tho Jlcro
lution, they attracted littlo at the South. Hut
when they were announced largely in tho -ikpcnilettt,
in tho vast hospitality given by
that "God's acre-' of a she-t on that tirst
page where the cheery editor leaves each con
tributor to fight for his own hand, like Harry
Wynd, having no connection with over the
way then they gained wide attention at tho
South, and met with a joyful response from
every one who had an atom of negrophobia
left in his bosom. To declaro that nearly
every free black man in South Carolina was a
drunkard and a vagabond what more had
Nasby himself to oiler?
We notice therefore in the Southern Re
publican press, and especially in that very
able sheet, the Charleston JJiiili RcpnliUi' n,
constant protests from black and white
against these sweeping attacks. To assert,
alter a brief stay in South Carolina, that tho
freedmen are "most emphatically lost," that
"marriage is rare," that "infanticide is com
mon," and "on tho plantations very few
children are born" these statements are pro
nounced.to be wantonly false. Thuso contra
dictions were confirmed to ns but a few days
since by C'aptain js. tr. rarker, Mate Tiea- 1
surer of South Carolina, a man of high 1
character, who served successively in tho 1st
Massachusetts Cavalry and the :i:id United
States Colored Troops, and has had
abundant opportunity for observing the South
Carolina freedmen for eight years. lie says
that these charges are "cruelly unjust," and
have already done a great deal of injury to the
position oi tno colored people ot the South.
The same opinion is expressed to us by Ser- !
geant Prince Bivers, well known as one of
the ablest colorod men of tho State, a nativo
born South Carolinian, and the very first man j
in the United States to open his house as a
recruiting office for colored soldiers, in May, !
1802. lie was a member of the State Con- !
stitutional Convention, and is now a member
of the Legislature, und, being also a magis
trate, has abundant opportunity of knowing
the condition of freedmen. lie indignantly
denies these assertions of generul drunken
ness and licentiousness, while admitting,
of course, that the colored people aro still
poor and ignorant. Aguin, we havo a let
ter before us from Sergeant Lungloy, a
colored man of Vermont birth and of good
common school education, well-kuown to us,
who went South in tho with Massachusetts,
was transferred to tho '.V.W U. S. C. T., and
has resided there biuee tho war, being now
School Commissioner of Beaufort county,
B. C, and Assistant Assessor, lie says of his
former fellow-soldiers: "So far as industry
is concerned, they have certainly made a
good record." "Ofllcial duties in tho capa
city of Assessor have called me among them
quite frequently during iho last two years.
Thus, I have had tho opportunity of seeing
the fruits of their industry and frugality at
their own homes. Home of these men havo
done more than simply surround their homes
with the bare necessities of life, while many
of them have money deposited in tho hanks.
They are to bo found employed as artisans
in every trade, and are generally doing well."
finch deliberate opinions from thoso who
habitually see the freedmen of South Carolina
in their homes aro worth moro than auy first
impressions of a hasty traveller.
We should not havo paid so much attention
to these charges, but for the apparent desire
of our Southern exchanges that the Northern
press should tako some notice of thorn. If
the freedmen could bo sent back into slavery
and demoralization by the injustice of stray
reporters, it would have beon done long ago.
The way to correct unjust reports is to Beoure
better ones, and that is what tho 2'ribune, at
least, has done. There is not a Southern
State that has not been traversed through and
through by our correspondents Bince the
war; and they have hud no instructions,
except to tell the truth as they saw it without
fear or favor. Tho general verdict has been
greatly to tho credit of tho freedmen, and wo
counsel them to givo themselves no anxiety
about what anybody would say on tho other
side. They had better imitate the blacksmith
in the wtory, who refused to prosecute his
enemy for Blander, bolioving that he could
hammer ont a better character on his anvil in
three months than all the courts in Christen
dom could give hiin in ten years.
MURDERS BY "DOCTORS." I
Frtmi tlie Chicago U publican.
With tho rush of life in our crowded streets
we are too apt to leave tho deaths and the
tragedies that end in death so fur behind that
they Blip out of our memories iu an hour.
But the two terriblo sonsationsof tho past
Week must cling tenaciously to tho hardest
heart in tho community, aud spur it to tho
hottest Bort of rightoous indignation. Tho
murders of Thcodosia Patterson and Jennie
Sterchel are too frosh, with all their hideous
details, to be easily forgotten; and while tho
city glows with tho unutterable shamo and
the undisguised wrath that such frightful atro
cities should be possible hero, just now is tho
time to nhow tho inexcusable tolerance which
has allowed such men ns Stratford and Slao
Rao to practise their awful business in our
midst.
Tho slaughter of unborn children is not
one whit more pardonable not one whit
more open to extenuation than tho murder
of adults. When tho criminal hand which
attempts to extinguish the breath of lifo in
its feeblest condition drags down into death
the sturdier existence of the mother, tho
atrocity is twofold. It is too old a world,
this of ours, to bo over-fastidious about tho
truth. There is too little truth iu the world
to bo swathed in tho fustian of "delicacy,"
out of our sight and mind. When such
horrors as theso which form our tvt occnr.it is
the accomplice incrimo who blinks it, and the
sympathizer with the criminal who wants to
bury it beyond recovery. The Christian
community turns up its eyes at the Chinoso
infanticide, and shudders in its broad
cloth at the corpses whieh fringe tho
sacred Ganges. But tho Christian congre
gation turn not a single shoulder from him
or her who slays the unborn in its mysterious
first life, and anticipates the intentions of tho
Creator with murderous barbarity, until po
pular sentiment is ignited and popular wrath
frightfully ullaiuo. The murder of thoso who
dio in the early dark is getting to be so com
mon a crime that it is hardly reprehended as
anything worse than an iudiscrolien. With
such apathy, who can wonder that tho fre
quency of infanticide increases? Who can
feign surprise that the abortionist retires on
his rapidly accumulated fortune? In New
York Madame Jlestell has raised her infamous
hospital on Fifth avenue. In Chicago such
butchers as Stratford und Marline boast that
they have perpetrated their hundred crimes
a year. Tho frightful enormity of
their acts, ami tho inhuman
disregard of life and suffering which nerves
their hands, are but insuiiicicutly appreciated.
It is only when ono imagines a wife or a sister
in tho frightful agonies, which continually end
in death, caused and fomented by theso
Pariahs of an honorable profession, that tho
thrill of consternation, the shiver of hoart
sicJiiiess, urgo ono to call in tho stern ven
geance of tho law. We do not only regard
what the statute prescribes for such monsters
as theso. We feel that the shadow of tho gal
lows is scarcely dark enough to match the hue
of their crimes. The law itself says that "if
any person shall, in tho attempt to produce
tho miscarriage of a pregnant woman,
thereby causo and produce tho death of
such woman, the person so offending shall
be deemed guilty of murder, imd shall bo
punished as tho law requires for such of
fense." This is the law. We have tried to
urge the moral bearings of tho case. Tho
men who are now in jail must havo known
the fatal tendency of their operations. They
must have known that they were undermining
Jaw nnd morality. They must havo known
the awful risk they ran. They gamblod for
high stakes, nnd they havo lost. Should a
jury convict them, they should be punished
to tho fullest extent of tho law. With such
a foul atmosphere, nothing short of a moral
thunder-storm, avails auy thing. The indi
viduals are lost in unpardonable generality.
These men havo each hacked at least ono
woman to pieces, havo each tortured ono
sensitive organization to a horrible death,
and havo each done their cruel deeds in tho
shadow of tho law. When mcu are convicted
of such crimes, under such conditions, and
bo glaringly us these, nothing should stand
between them und tho vengeful grip of tho
law. The abortionist is a murderer, doubly
so when ho butchers to death tho woman us
well as the child, and his punishment should
bo even more stern and inexorable than thut
of tho ordinury assassin. It is impossible to
overestimate tho enormity of his oll'onso.
In demanding that tho law be rigorously
executed in both the cases that now shock tho
public sentiment in Chicago, we lose sight of
tho miserable criminals who havo deliberately
exposed themselves to tho stroke of tho sword
of Justice. It an abortionist kad beon bung
before now, the two double crimes wo nre
deploring would not have beon attempted.
Let those men bo unrelentingly punished,
that many lives may be hereafter saved.
There is no crime known on earth more hor
rible than these, and none which discloses so
little extenuation. Lkt rs s-ror tiij.m.
THE TRUTH ABOUT TIIR METHODIST
BOOK CONCERN.
From the X. I'. Times.
Tho public have had some experience of
reports of that class which aro intended to
"whitewash" culpublo persons. Whenever a
revelation is mudo which injuriously affects a
powerful interest, political, commercial, or
sociul, a short and single plan is tried of hush
ing up tho whole affuir. A commit too is ap
pointed to 'inquire into uil luo circuni-
btauces." This silences tho press, and re
moves tho subject for a timo from under the
public eye. There is always a chance that
the charges will be altogether forgotten before
the answer to them is prepared, and in that
case it is easy to concoct h "report" which
will satisfy tho public. Or else tho commit
tee nuiko things pleasant all round bv admit
ting the discovery of a few minor errors, but
tienymg in general terms the serious portion
of the accusations. This latter course is tho
one adopted by the gentlemen deputed to in
quire into the alleged frauds in the Methodist
Book Concern.
Tho strangest circumstanco in connection
with this report is that tho committee
should have supposed for one moment that
it would be deemed conclusive upon any
mittee daro not muko pnblio tho evidence
whion was laid before them, and the chair
man himself refused to sign the report. This
circumstance is concealed from the publio in
the report now presented. We are in a posi
tion to supplement tho meagre comments of
, the committee with a little information whioh
' will not be new to them, although the gene
1 ral reader will now become acquainted with
it for the first time. A "whitewashing re
: port cannot destroy the effect which some
1 acts we will now state must inevitably pro
duce on the publio mind.
The accounts rendered by one of the ofil
cials, who is implicated even in tho rose
water report of the committee, showed thut
of goods purcnased at exorbitant prices,
l!),(H0 dollars' worth were uuaccouuted for.
This happened during last year alone. The
ncent who had to buy paper admitted having
told the inanntacturers that all purcnases
must l o mado through tho son of one of the
managers. The commissions paid to this
lucky son varied from two-nnd-a-hulf to fif
teen per cent. giy ton per cent, on an ave
rage. This, on annual purchases of iJl.lO.OtM),
would amount to ft l. ))() a snug year' in
come for tho recipient, but a great loss to tho
Concern. On theso two items only it lost
:M,0(.0 in one year. But tho official first
rofencd to kept a carriage and horses,
although his Bulary was only $l'mm a year.
Of course no one suspected tnatunyuiing was
wronrr.
1 ... . . . t a a
e mitrht extend theso details, minor 10-
dny an instalment may suffice. It would be
interesting to hear from tho investigating
Committee the motives whieh justified them,
ns they believed, iu withholding facts liko tho
above from tho SIcthodist Conference. They
were placed in a position of trust and confi
dence, and it was not their business to shield
delinquents or to make themselves tho moans
of condoning the ottenscs wnicn nan oecn
committed. They should havo told tho
truth, without prejudice or favoritism on
either hide. By being woak enough lo suppose
that a carefully "doctored" report would pre
vent scandal, they have only made matters
ten times worse than they were before, con
firmed the statements originally made, and
forfeited the confidence of their own brethren
and the general public.
GENERAL GRANT ON THE PREJUDICE
OF COLOR.
from the -V. I'. Herald.
General Tate, the now Slinistor from Hayti,
who is reported as a handsome, intelligent,
und highly-accomplished mulatto, on present
ing his credentials to the President tho other
day made a very neat little speech. In the
course of it he said "tho exalted philanthropy
and tho readiness to make amends to a race
formerly oppressed in this country those
noblo principles which have led your admin
istration, Mr. President, to solcct a man of
that raco to represent tho groat and power
ful republic of the United States in the re
public of Hayti, have awakened in tho hearts
of all Ilaytiens who eagcrl desire tho ad
vancement nnd elevation of their race a just
sentiment of admiration aud gratitude;" and
so on to the close.
General Grant, however, thus challenged
by tho eloquent Haytien of African descent,
was equal to the demands of the occasion.
Striking at oneo into tho main question ho
said: "If auy proof were wanting of tho un
founded character of tho prejudice which
until recently prevailed, at least in different
parts of this country, against the race from
which you aro sprung, it might bo found in
the high tone and polished stylo of the re
marks you have just uttered." A very neat
compliment indeed; but the General did not
stop here. Iu regard to this American pre
judice of color ho went on to say, "that, like
all similar prejudices, no matter how deeply
impluntcd, it must sooner or later yield to tho
force of truth." What truth is here referred
to ? Tho truth of tho Declaration of Inde
pendence, that "all men are created equal"
a l rut li heretolore widely considered as only
"a glittering generality. iNcxt, sneaking of
the inevitable and natural results of our great
civic convulsion in reference to tho African
race, tho President said that among tho con
cessions in their behalf "is their right to cm
plovment abroad as well as tit homo, in tho
public service a right which, as you say, has
been acknowledged in the appointment of
one of the formerly proscribed race to repre
sent the United Slates iu liayti."
Here, then, wo havo the reason from Gone
mi Grant for his appointment of black men
to office, and for his advocacy of the fifteenth
amendment, providing for universal negro
suffrage. Ho believes that all thoso preju
dices of raco and color should bo and will be
swept away. He is far ahead of Lincoln in
this reppect: for Lincoln inherited from Ken
tucky a strong prejudice against negro
equality, which, as developed in Lincoln's
policy, was subsequently used as tho founda
tion of the reconstruction policy of Andy
Johnson. Secondly, from tho "happy accord"
established between tho United States and tho
African republic of Hayti under General
Grant, we look for tho early annexation of
tho Haytiens, with tho Dominicans of tho
other end of tho island.
Meantime, let it suffice for our doubting
politicians that General Grunt is fixed in his
policy of equal civil and political rights,
without distinction of raco or color. Fixed is
the word. The mind and tho policy of
General Grant aro fixed upon this subject,
nnd such being the ease, wo may regard his
ideas as fixed in the Government of tho
United States. Looking at this fixed fact and
at the consummation of Southern reconstruct
tion, our leading Democratic politicians are
called upon to faco the music. They cannot
go back now, they cannot stand still. They
must fall in lino with tho new forward move
ment of the Southern Democracy, or go to
pieces.
