THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1870. SEWARD. Htmnrkia tf the Veteran Htnlexmnn nt n Fnre wrll Dinner In Nun Praacleo. Frem tkc San Franeinco Horning CalL, Sept. 2. In our issne of yesterday we gave a brief j nopsis of the remarks of Hon. William II. Keward, at the farewell dinner given him by Judge Hastings, in response to the toast, vi.: "To California's distinguished friend nd guest, Hon. William II. Seward." We Lave been enabled to obtain the speech en tire, it having been famished us by Colonel A. S. Evans, who, at the request of Mr. fc'eward, wrote it down while he dictated it. seward's last speech. Mr. Hastings, Ladies, Gentlemen, and Friends: During my travels within the United States, as well as my stay at home, it has been not less a discipline than a desire to be silent. Nevertheless, I feel that there are occasions when speech is a duty. I have thought, until now, that it was impossible for the citizens of San Francisco and the people of California and the mountain States and Territories to increase the obligations which, by demonstrative friendship and favor, they cast upon me Jast year. I have found wjsclf mistaken; not to search for health, already lost, but to anticipate- and stay, if possible, a decline of health so long 'merci fully vouchsafed to me, is one of the objects of the journey which, sooner than I could have expected, brings me again within the folding doors of the Golden Gate. Abstinence from excitement, study, and popular gather irigs and greetings, is one of the conditions of such travel. Sly fellow-citizens here, and throughout my whole progress hitherto, have mnnilested all their former friendship and kindness, but with a delicacy and forbearance free from ostentation and pressure, which every one can see is the result of an elective eymj athy. How could it be that I should not desire that they should know how deeply this kindness affects me ? Bat ladies ami gentlemen friends, this egotism I must not indulge further. Continents on the earth are like planets in the universe. They have their material atmosphere, .their internal fires and forces, their attractions and repulsions. They are influenced by attractions and re pulsions of other continents, and exert a corresponding influence upon them. The operation of all these forces tends, beyond doubt, to the establishment and preservation of a moral, political, and social equilibrium. The operation, however, while going on, must produce excitement, disturbance, commotion, and convulsion. Who, now, can wonder that when this Ameri can continent of ours became for the first time a theatre of enlightened human activity, with the object of developing its resources, and making it a social power, the native In dian races who refused to accept the ditci pline and the blessings of civilization began everywhere to decline. Who can wonder th it the strong, Bturdy, impetuous settlers, in the ngony produced by a realizing sense of th9 magnitude of their labor, and their utter feebleness to effect it without exterior help, bought and stole the African, and brought him away from his native freedom to work the mines and the fields of this richer and more expansive continent. Who now can wonder that the down-trodden and exhausted peasantry and artisans of Western Europe, as fast as facilities for their migra tion could be obtained, have availed them selves of the asylum this oontinent has offered them ? Who can wonder now that the over crowded population of the Asiatic shores have rushed by thousands upon thousands to shave in the treasure of our mountains and the greater wealth of our forests, plains, and prairies ? Who does not see in these several movements that irresistible force which, ac cording to their different sentimAfcts con cerning overruling power, men call destiny or providence ? Who does not see that these forces, which wo thus call destiny and provi dence, are, after all, human wants, human aspirations and ambitions, which will work out their end whether we know it or not, con sent to it or not, favor it or not, by one means or by another ? Under other conditions, the miners of California would have invaded China and brought its heathen people here, as their forefathers invaded Africa and brought its heathen inhabitants here. Under these conditions, a sturdier but equally neces sitous people in China might have invaded defenceless California and appropriated its wealth and treasure to themselves. Who now can wonder that all these strange and horrid events of the past three hundred years have produced social and political agitations, con tlicts, and civil wars within the American continent throughout all Spanish America, all British America, all French America, and . even within the United States ? Who won iters now at the eccentricities of Purism zed!, 6f Catholic bigotry, of Protestant intolerance, of Native Americanism, of Know-Nothingism, of slavery, of anti-slavery, of emancipa tion, and anti-emancipation ? Who wonders cow at the effects produced upon the nations of Western Europe by the establish ment of society on the American continent ? Who wonders now at the French Involution, or successive French revolutions, the restora tion of liberty and nationality in Italy and in Germany, or the active tendency towards democracy and self-government everywhere manifested ? Who wonders now at the vol untary annexation of Louisiana, Florida, TexaB, Utah, New Mexico, California, and Alaska ? Who wonders at the aocomplished asdirations of Mexico to imitate and improve on the example of the United States ? Who wonders at the surrender ot Alaska by tne Czar of ltussia and at the impatience of the people of St. Thomas, San Domingo, Cuba, and, indeed, of all the West Indies, to obtain the protection of the United States ? Who thinks it wonderful that the islands of the Pacific and the nearer Bhores of Asia desire and demand peaceful com merce, free immigration, and material, moral, and social connection with the United States? Who supposes that this mighty wheel, which so powerfully and so un ceasingly disturbs and moves and whir s around the population of three continents is to be all at once arrested and reversed? Let our legislators and constitution makers and founders and builders of new States think of it! For myself, I have long ago aooepted it. X know that the movements of the great wheel may and should be regulated so that it may keep on its endless motion in harmony with the ultimate end of the perfection of civilization on the continent and throughout the world without convulsion, without de struction, without war, and without blood shed. If the political and religious institu tions we have established have all the virtue and excellence which we claim for them, they will stand firm and beneficently accelerate the great changes which are before us. If they annot do this, they will change, and adapt themselves to the exigencies that were not foreseen when they were formed. In this, as in everything which affects the condition and progress of the human race, human institu tions are powerless in conilict with the higher laws which Providence has appointed. Other citizens are free to do as they may think proper; to concern themselves, if they will, cniefiy in the domestio and internal move ments of the republio, in European conflicts and civil wars for the establishment and maintenance of the balances of power, re quiring every ten years to be re-establishod at the cost of treasure and life. Who can blame me that I, invested with no power, and no longer, if ever, ambitious, lift up my thoughts habitually to the great problem of the civilization of the Amerioan oontinent, and the establishment of peaoe, prosperity, virtue and happiness throughout and among the multifarious people to whom, to me, God seems to have committed the execution of a work greater, and to the achievement of a destiny higher, than ever before was appointed to any portion of the human race? Who can blame me for dreaming that, in the pursuit of this study, with careful ob servation at home and diligent observation abroad, I am content and happy? But, my friends, these words, which to home will seem a rhapsody, like that of Paul in his audience with Agrippa, must have an end! Hero I wish to express my gratitude and affection to you all; my best wishes and desires for the reali zation of your highest hopes. I only regret that I cannot speak these last words in the hearing of all the people o the F,nifi;j Coast. I trust that the same kind Trovidanca which has watched so beneficently over ru all may permit me to see you all again. It will be happy for me if that meeting should be vouchsafed to us here on the shores of this beautiful bay, happier still for me, if it shall be within the rustic gates of my own quiet home at Auburn. Tnat is the only place in the world where I am able to reciprocate the hospitalities and kindnesses with which my way through life has everywhere been crowned. FAKEWELL. The Pacific Mail Steamship Company's wharf was covered by a crowd of people yes terday just previous to the sailing of the China. Among the crowd were a number of our most prominent citizens, who had gone thither for the purpose of bidding a farewell to Mr. Seward, and wishing him a pleasant voyage. Mr. Seward and the party that ac companied him reached the ship about half past 11 o'clock, and immediately proceeded to the ladies' cabin, where Mr. Seward held an informal reception, shook hands with his friends,' and bade them adieu. At 1210 the steamer cast loose and pushed out from the wharf, and in a few minutes Mr. Seward ap peared upon the quarter-deck, and with un covered head bowed his acknowledgments to the cheers that went up from the throats of the assembled multitude. A GIANT RACE. The Itidlnn .Hound (ihlckanfiwba Human Skeleton j:uht nnd Ten Feet In Height Kcllra of a Former Ace. Void the Memphis Appeal, Two miles west of Barfield Point, in Ar kansas county, Ark., on the east bank of the lovely stream called Pemiscott river, stands an Indian mound, some twenty-five feet high and about an acre in area at the top. This mound is called Chickasawba, and from it the high and beautif ul country surrounding it, some twelve square miles in area, derives its name Chicka9awbia. The mound de rives its name from Chickasawba, a chief of the Shawnee, tribe, who lived, died, and was buried there. This chief was one of the last of the race of hnntejs who lived in that beau tiful region, and who once peopled it quite thickly for Indians we mean. From 1820 to 18:1 he and his hunters assembled annually at Barfield Point, then as now the principal shipping place of the surrounding country, and battered off their furs, peltries, buffalo robes and honey to the white settlers and the trading boats on the river; receiving in return powder, shot, lead, blankets, money, etc. Aunt Kitty Williams, who now resides there, relates that. Chickasawba would frequently bring in for sale, at one time as much as twenty gallons of pure honey in deerskins bags slung to his back. He was always a firm friend of the whites, a man of gigantic stature and herculean strength. In his nine teenth year he took a young wife and by her had two children. In 1831 she died, and the old chief did not long survive her, dying in the same year, aged ninety-three or ninety four years. Mr. W. Fitzgerald, who moved in that country in 1822, says that up to the time of his death, Chickasawba supplied him with game. He was buried at the foot of the mound on which he had lived, by his tribe, most of whom de parted for the Nation immediately after per forming bis funeral rites. A few, however, lingered there up to a late date, the last of them, we believe, being John East, who in 1800, at the breaking out of the war, joined Captain Charley Bowen's company of the late "so-called," and fought the war through, as gallant a "reb" as any of them, coming back home in 18C to return to the arts of peace. Chickasawba was perfectly honest, and the best informed chief of his tribe. His contemporary chiefs were Long Knife, Sunshine, Corn Meal, Moonshine (Mike Brennan), etc. Mike Brennan and Quill buried him. He left a son named John remescott. A number of years ago, in making an excavation into ernear the foot of Chickasawbu's mound, a portion of a GIGANTIC HUMAN SKELETON was found. The men who were digging, be coming interested, unearthed the entire skele ton, and from measurements given us by re liable parties the frame of the man to whom it belonged could not have been less than eight or nine feet in height. Under the skull, which easily slipped over the head of our informant (who, we will here state, is one of our best citizens), was found a peculiarly shaped earthen jar, resembling nothing in the way of Indian pottery which had before been seen by them. It was exactly the shape of the round-bodied, long-necked caraffes or water-decanters, a specimen of which may be seen on Gaston's dining-table. The material of which the vase was made M as a peculiar kind of clay, and the work manship was very line The belly or body of it was ornamented with figures or hierogly phics consisting of a correct delineation of hu man bands, parallel to each other, open, pams outward, and running up and down the vase, the wrists to the base and the lingers towards the neck. On either side of the bands were tibire or thigh bones, also correctlyjdelineated, running around the vase. There were other things found with the skeleton, but this is all that our informant remembers. Since that time, wherever an excavation has been made in the Chickasawbia country in the neighboihood of the mound, SIMILAR SKELETONS have been found, and under the skull of every one were found similar funeral vases, almobt exactly like the one described. There are now in this city several of the vases and portions of the huge skeletons. One of the editors of the Appeal yesterday measured a thigh bone, which is fully three feet long. The thigh end shin bones, together with bones of the foot, stood up in a proper posi tion in a physician's office in this city, mea sure five feet in height, and show the body to which the leg belonged to have been from nine to ten feet in height. At Beaufort's I Landing, near Barfield, in digging a deep ditch, a skeleton was dug up the leg of which measured between five and six feet in length, and other bones in proportion. In a very few days we hope to be able to lay before our readers accurate measurement and descrip tions of the portions of skeletons now in the city, and of the articles found in the graves. It is not a matter of doubt that these are HUMAN REMAINS, but of a long extinot race a race which flourished, lived, and died many centuries ago, in those days told of in Scripture. The Wealth of Boston. A Boston corre spondent writes to the Chicago Jouriud: "During the past ten years the Hub has in creased in valuation nearly ninety per cent., its debt sixty per cent., and more than two hundred per cent, in the amount of tax raised, and yet the taxes are advanoing in an alarm ing ratio. In 1800 the valuation was $270,801, 000; it is now $.S,08t,400. The increase dnring the past year is 14, 202, KM), not including the pew Dorchester Dis trict, but there has been a de crease in personal estate of !ti!,4r2,,.()0, in consequence of many of the wealthy citizens withdrawing from the city previous to the first of May to escape taxation. There are twenty-one parties assessed on over $1,000,000 each, the trustees of the Sears estate taking the lead, $:i,HW,C00. Boston is probably the richest city per capita in the country, and also one of the heaviest taxed", the interest and the premium alone due 1870-71 being $1,072,000, and the net debt $12,002,580. But when one speaks of the valuation of Boston at $584,08!', 400, it by no means represents the wealth of the city. The assessors do not include in their valuation the public buildings, squares, nnd other property owned by the municipality, while the legal exemptions em brace $04,000,000 worth of churches, to say nothing of the United States securities, shares owned by individuals in Massachusetts corporations, taxes on which are collected elsewhere and credited there. Thus a vast amount of property escapes taxation. It is estimated that the residents of Boston represent an aggregate wealth of over one thousand millions of dollars, and if all the people who do business here resided in the city the population would be rising four hundred thousand. But the suburbs are to all intents and purposes a part of the city; they are the sleeping places of those who really give activity to the "Hub." The contemplated improvements in the city will involve many millions of dol lars. The rate of taxation has been fixed at $15-30 per $1000. If its wealth were equally divided, every man, woman, and child would have $22 each. A large proportion of our population would not object to such a "divvy. Day and Night in Sweden. The peouliari ties of the day and night in Sweden strike the traveler very forcibly, after being accus tomed to the temperate zone. In June the sun goes down in Stockholm a little before ten o'clock. There is a great illumination all night, as the sun passes round the earth to the North Pole, and the refraction of its rays is such that you can see to read at midnight, without any artificial light. There is a moun tain at the head of Bothina where, on the 21st of June, the sun does not appear to go down at all. The steamboat goes up from Stockholm for the purpose of conveying those who are curious to witness the phenomenon. It occurs only one night. When it reaches the horizon you can see the whole face of it, and in five minutes more it begins to rise. At the North Cape, latitude 72 degrees, the sun does not go down for several weeks. In Jnne it would be about 25 degrees above the horizon at midnight. In the winter the sun disappears, and is not seen for weeks; then it comes and remains ten or fifteen minutes, after which it descends, and finally does not set at all, but makes almost a circle around the heavens.
