“During all my travels I have tried in

show that the negro was fordierly more ele

very striking fact ie the different a,tate of

e accounts of such travelers as Burton
Livingstone, Grant, Speke, and linker, we
learn that most of the Chiefs are cruel,
having the right to put to death their sub
jects at will. Villages are continually
sacked by the stronger, and Ilia people car-
ed into slavery ; and if lhere^is no sin
very, the people commit raids, burn villa
ges, massnere_the inhabitants,' and then
plunder their cattle In Ratty countries
they do both plunder the cattle and carry
the people into slavery. In the country I
explored, no village is largo enough, no
clan powerful enough, to do no, I have
been much surprised to note the ' tsteady de
crease of the population ; and first let me
raise my voice in defense of (he white man.
Ile is twanged of being the cause of it—
wherever he set:les the aborigines are said
to thsappear. I admit that such is the ease,
but I aver that the decrease of the popula
tion had already talfisn place before the
white man came; and the while man, in
coming, notices it, but can not stop it. Pop
ulous villages and tribes I saw for a second
lime had dwindled down There the while
man had not penetrated. clans which
were composed of many people within the
meniory of man bad dwindled down to noth
ing, some had disappeared, and others had
only a few people left. lam not the only
one who has noticed Allis decrease—ether
travelers have noticed the same. Whatever
may be our sympathy—primitive roan, or
realer the least gifted tribes of mankind,
ttio4t disattpeor before the higher intellect.
This is not a theory but a fact. There are
loony causes to account for the decrease of
the negro I think every thing leads to
show that the negro is of great :Intiquity
and has remained stationary. The work
ing of iron, considering the very pri itive
way they work it and hew easily they find
must have been known to them from the
•emolest time, sad to them the age of stone
and bronze must have been unknown. As
to hie future capabilities, I think erttstme
views ;nve prevailed among us. Some hold
the opiEion that the negro will never rise
higher than he is ; Miters think that he is
capable of reaching the highest state of civ
ilization—sin faot that he will Income a
white man. For my own part; I do not
agree with dither of these opinion.. I be
lieve the negromay become a more useful
member of mankind than be is at present ;
that he can be raised to a higher standard,
but that if left to himself he will neon fall
book into barbarism . we hate no example
the contrary. Though a people may
taught the arts and sciences known by more
gilled nations, unless they have the pup:
of progression in themselves, they musVin
evltably relapse, in the course of time, into

races of men, the negro has been found the

Friendship has charity for faults, grati- 1
tude for favors, and forgivoess tor injuries:
It has brave words the timid, 4rarnin,
for the unwary, cheer tualrength
for the weak, bread for the hungr cloth

sentiment of the heart, it does - nsgoiraif

thought to the nationality It unites not
only different and the same ages and sem,.
not only place and people, man with man,

point When friendship descends to inani
mate objects, it is sometimes ridiculous
Some people have cherished an affection for
a pair of old shoes, and with all the differ

homestead, our native town, the room espe
cially ours, shows that the human heart has
many tendrils twining aroundevery concei
vable object.
Sentimental school girl frendehip is a
sunny brook, sprinkled on the surface with
secrets and sugar-pluma,but the:depths are
very pure, and the source of many an after
fertalizing river. There are humble friends
who lay only trifles on the altar of friendly
feeling They are not finished linguists in
the language of friendship; but though
their speech in broken, their good will is
quite whole.
Then there are influential friends, that
surround one like a canopy of proteotion.—
The rough friend frames hie kindness in
blunt words, and the tender compassionate
friend is an ark of solace and safety amid
the "dark floods" of the world's indiffer
ence and coldness
There is such a thing as having too many
friends. The precious kitten, a gift to six
children, is wrapped in a blanket, carried
from place to place, fed with cream from a
silver spoon. Kitty, having stout legs, a
good appetite, and ahardy coat of fur, seen

THE WORKING MEN AND THE PUBLIO
DEBT
Wendell Phtllipe, in a lecture, in Cincin•
nati, during the war, said that the laboring
classes would have to work two hours a day
'longer than usual, iultay "lhe expenses—at
the war. Attempts are being made by the
working clasees to avoid this result by at
tempting to reduce the daily hours of labor
which is in effect to add twenty per sent. to
their daily receipts. Thougheoramodttiesof
life, such as flour, corn, beef, &a , nave ed.
vanced one hundred per cent einoe 1860,
wages have not risen ovese,exty-five per
cent , thus demonstrating thaw the condi
tion of the laborer is not so good now as it
was before the war. The Nevi York Jour
not of Commerce in speaking of this condition
of thing, remarks
" All the amumulatlonelgthil prodtrt dt
labor, and the working men OF ell oonatry
have the interest or, this enormous debt
j4ll upon theill'lo producs'yearly! They
cannot dhdge It by any device; they must
earn it among them in addition all for

mulate ono dollar; 411\ Is Just e 4„ mush
motalpgmart oLtNelt pat. To statid as
welfpeausisrily bow sa they did befogs the
kr, all the men who labor must do enough
exi:ni work to produce the sum needed, or
denying themeolves so much in the way of
ooneumption as will save this total. It is
probable that, to meet ij all, they must do
both—tlikt is, work border and consume
less. Inoreued toil And greater self-denl•
al are the portion•alloted Ishor for years to
dome, and therels no help for It. Strikes,
associations for mutual defense, trades-r
--ion aggression upon the 'world's erPitnl,
and All this sort of compulsory proem to
livade the natural law, or escape the penal
ty, will only aggravate the evil. Ilergis
tore the poorest laborers of the United
States were yxempt, to a great extent, Xi
the hardships which the same class
to suffer in other countries They
wer4 enabled with reasonable exertions,not
only to provide themselves with com
forts,.but to enjog within the bounds the
luxnries common to the wealthier °lessee.
Few families amoa L the laboring population
stinted themselves in meats, grocerie s or
fruits in their season, and there was noth,
ing ordinarily used by thoie in prosper'
ous Circumstances which was not accessible
to the laborer, and easily obtained as the
reward of hie industry. This is at an end,
and although the truth- sounds harshly, it. l
may as well be told. Thos• ,who have
nothing to live On Nut the eorni4e of their
daily labor, whether they toil with weary
brim] or aching einews'may as well know ,
that they cannot continue the plenty they
have heretofore enjoyed. Not till this is
learned (and it is a bitter lesson) will the
labor question be adjusted ; and those who
are tinkering at a patent remedy, by which
this sad result is to be avoided, may as well
'give liver their effort '
NEGRO EQUALITY
It is really almost incredible how fast
the wildest andytost visionary schemes of
the extreme Radicals are becoming sober
acts' Hail soy one ventured to predict,
at the time of (ha Chicago convention, that
ilso.then socallell Republican party would
icon make nekr . o autfirage a plank in their
'platform, he tirssild probably have been
pronounced crazy by an overwhelming
%Intfority But-it was done, nevertheless,
and we then predicted that having given
the negro equal political rights, he and
his friends wonid soon insist on an equal
social equality , that by admitting liim
to the ballot box and forcing him upon the
hustings, we could not expect to keep him
out of our families, churches, schools,
benches, juries, public conveyances, hotels,-
eta, Thillitte disturbances at New Orleans,
Rlohmomrand other places, both North
and south, show how speedily this predic
tion has been realised, and Ilse the fact
that there is really no intermediate ground
on which the slaw of the negro can be
satisfactorily settled. Having been made
the full political peers of the whites in the
South, the colored portion of thepopulation
naturally claim first the right to a seat in
public conveyances. is no use that vehicles
are set apart exclusively for them, for they
refuse to agree to such &compromise. They
feel outraged at the bare idea that such a
distinction should be drawn, and attempt
constantly to obtain what they consider
their rights by appeals to force. Nor will
the negroes stop here. The next step will
be to demand admittance to hotels and alas,
and that upon precisely the same principle
The law regulates public hotels as it does
conveyances, and entitles every, traveler to
lodging and food The negritt'can, there
fore, with tbe same propriety, claim a seat
at our dinner tables as he can In the street
cars. Such an arrankwent might perhlsps
be objectionable to some tastes, but this is
not suflicicent. The question is whether
the American people are quite prepa red for
accepting all the practical consequences of
that equality of races whloh the leading
spirits of the dominant majority have per
haps only meant to assert in theory.—

SEWARD SNUBBED
The poor old charletan, at the read of
the State Department, is getting snubbed
all around. lie has been.. petting sad
fostering his brother Mongrels in Mexico
for Bre years past, so muoh so,' that he
thought it gave him the right to ask that
Maximillisn'a life should be spared. This
certainly was not an unreasonable expecta
tion, in vi e w of the fact that Juarez owes
all his success to the protest of the United
States government ; but unfortunately,
Seward judged Juarez by the rule which
white men judge of white men. Ile did not
take into consideration that the Mexican
chief Is a hybrid, a cross of Indian and
nigger upon the white, and who can, there
fore, no more have the white man's feelings,
under such circumstances, than can a full
blooded savage, whe is klllin4 scalping
chopping up our soldiers and pioneers out
West. Juarez is controlled by the Indian
love Of vengeance on his fallen enemy, and
hence Informs Mr. Seward that he shall
shoot Maximilian. All this shows what
stupid blockheads the whole American peo
ple are and particularly Seward and John•
son, in intervening in Mexican affairs at
all. The sooner the greasers there murder
each other the better D. wilLbe for Mexico
and " the reel of mankind." Seward, It

forme him to• mind his civil business.
