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.
