6 i EVENING, BULLETIN. . THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1865. THE SOUTHERN FREEDMEN. The colored "wards" of the nation are far from being prosperous or useful in their present transition state. It was scarcely to be expected that a people, most of whom were kept in the densest ignorance, should at once comprehend the meaning of their sudden emancipa tion, or should be able to adapt them selves instantly to their change of cir cumstances. But the Southern whites, who persistently kept them in ignorance, and', who made their emancipation an unavoidable necessity, are themselves responsible for the mischief that may arise from it. An address to Congress, from the re presentatives of the Society of Friends in various States, appears in to-day's paper, which sets forth, in moderate but impressive language, the condition of - the freedmen. We have had, also, a brief report from Lieutenant-General Grant, of his observations of the temper of the Southern people during a rapid tour he made among them. General Carl,Schurz's report, after a longer in vestigation, is also before Congress. These and other documents vary con siderably. But even putting the most liberal construction upon those that most favor the Southern whites, it is plain that the difficulties attending the estab lishment of real freedom and prosperity among the blacks are very great. In many parts of the South where the ne groes are most willing to work, the - whites will not give them such wages as will enable them to live and support their families. They will give white laborers two dollars a day, but refuse to the blacks, for an equal amount of labor, more than from six to ten dollars a month. With every disposition to be liberal to the defeated people of the South, we would have it impressed upon them that they must cease to be tyrannical and unjust towards the emanlipated blacks. Even if they should refuse to recognize their right to vote, they should be made to recognize their right to labor and to receive for their labor fair wages. If they will not do this, they will bring upon themselves trouble that the whole power of the federal government will not be able to avert. They revolted against pretended oppression, and thus set an example which the sufferers under real oppression may be disposed to follow. Wherever the blacks are de cently treated, they show themselves docile and industrious. But where they are treated with harshness and injustice, they are likely to fancy that their ne cvly acquired freedom gives them the right to take by force what they cannot obtain by peaceful measures. If this should go on, the result may be frightful; bad enough for the blacks themselves, but far worse for the whites. The Southern people should notbe encouraged to think that the President's liberal treatment of them gives them the right still to op press the blacks. They can by kind ness, and by affording to the poor creatures opportunities of industry and improvement, avert the danger that seems to be threatening the whole Southern country. SEWARD'S FOREIGN DESPATCH". Mr. Seward's circular , despatch in reply to the numerous expressions of condolence and sympathy received from Europe on the occasion of Mr. Lincoln's assassination is a model document. Concise and feeling in its references to the terrible event to which it refers, and singularly modest in regard to hid own participation in that bloody drama, it has naturally commended itself to those to whom it was addressed,' and we find the English press speaking of it in terms more flattering than we have been ac customed to hear from such quarters.. The London Tim , •s, in an admirably written leader, uses language so strong and so gratifying that it should not pass unnoticed on this side of the Atlantic. The hostility of the Thunderer" towards this country was bitter and persistent throughout the war. Mr. Lincoln was to it nothing better than a rude, unlettered backwoodsman, tossed to the surface by the accident of our political upheavings, and struggling helplessly and hopelessly with the billows of civil war. Mr. Seward was a politician, cunning and insincere, and chiefly given to pretentious and verbose despatches, with which he wearied the diplomatists of Europe and deceived his own countrymen. The assassination of, Mr. Lincoln and the attempted murder of Mr: Seward fell like a thunderbolt in the midst of these oracular leaders of foreign public opinion. Saul of Tarsus was not struck to the earth more sud denly, nor was his conversion more in stantaneous and complete. The leader of the Times to which we have referred is a striking illustration of the change of opinion upon American men and affairs which has been brought about by the stern logic of events. It speaks of the assassination of Alr.„_Lin coin as "a crime which grows in. mag nitude and in horror as we drift away from it down the swift stream of time. * * * The frightful tragedy which only in the spring of this year threw into the background every lesser or older misery, and might atone for any numbers of errors." Allowing for that unconquerable Bri tish prejudice, which will always reserve some margin of self-supremacy, it thuS refers to the position which Mr. Lincoln bad won in. British esteem at the time Of his death: "It so happened that Abraham Lincoln, by the progress,of either amendment or truth, • had rightd himself in English esteem, and then stood as well in our regards THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN : PHILA.DELPHIA, 1111IRSDAY, DFCEMBER 21, 1865.---TEIPLE SHEET. as any foreign potentate could ever hope to stanu. We admired the man, and were beginning to like him, 'Seeing him the able and kind-hearted adminstrator of the greatest work of--social, peacemaking the world had yet seen. So we felt his murder' as we should have done that of a leading British statesman at the hands of a political fanatic. There was..mord, indeed., in his case than there would ever be in this coun try, unless we could suppose half the realm making head against the other half for several years. There was the grand cere mony of a national reconciliation to be per formed, and, as Heaven would have it, there lay bleeding before us the victim to consecrate it." But this article is chiefly note-worthy on account of the high tribute paid to Mr. Seward, and the extraordinary non-' trast which it forms to the contemptuous tone so often indulged in abroad towards American statesmen in general and Mr. Seward oin particular. It says : "Other victims were intended, and the assassins so far succeeded that one, the foremost statesman on the Federal side,and the man with whom we had most to do, had to endure for months a living martyrdom. The strong will, the active intellect, and the ready tongue lay trembling between life and death when the most difficult stage of his great task had only just began. We could not but be deeply impressed with a catastrophe that appealed to the chief quali ties of our race and the national sympathy burst out at a thousand openings, wherever many or few had been wont to come to gether and make a common utterance." The compliment paid to Mr. Seward's despatch is a just and proper one. He is commended for his good taste and judgment in not attempting a separate reply to every address of condolence re ceived by his Department, which "would have been a ridiculous effort of literary clerkship." The peculiar diffi culties under which our State Depart ment labored have been appreciated abroad, and the calm, undisturbed workings of our Government in the midst of such frightful circumstances, has not failed to communicate new and wholesome ideas of the immovable stability of our institutions. It says : "Mr. Seward, who has recovered slowly from his terrible succession of injuries, has only just been able to speak for himself and his Government. The British public will not have failed to notice the modesty with which the Secretary alludes to the cause of this delay. His Department was indeed crippled when he lay, as many thought on his death bed, with wound upon wound; for that was "the peculiar calamity" which then impaired the efficiency of the Ameri can Foreign-office. That a Government simply constructed for the transaction oi affairs in the ordinary course of public business should have beeen able to do its share in the work of the war was itself a wonder to this country. But when a new calamity involved new "obligations"—the calamity a partial massacre of the Govern ment, and the "obligations" the duty of' answering condolences—the worst foe or Republican institutions could not but do justice to the Government which wen t on at all under such circumstances. We all saw, and duly appreciated, that there wa.. not the least symptom of failure or collapse. Everything went on as usual, as far as met the eye. Our own difficulties,' indeed, are so different in kind that it is not easy to make a just and intelligible comparison; but after witnessing the confusion apt to take place in other States upon the sudden wit haraw ing or the disabling of those at the bead of critical affairs, we seemed to recog nize a character like our own in a people whose chief rulers fell or were prostrated in a day, at a time when they were more than ever wanted, but which went on just as usual." We have good right to be proud of the men who have conquered from the most stubborn opponents of our republican government such tributes of praise as these. It is by no means one of the least important of the services which Mr. Lincoln rendered his country that he reflected upon the whole American character so much of the lustre of his own true greatness, and gave us, as a people, a higher position in foreign esteem than we have ever enjoyed before. And Mr. Seward is doing for his country, in his peculiar sphere, the same honorable work. The people of the United States and tb eir public min isters are so thoroughly identified that the whole body politic gains or loses as our public men adorn or disgrace the positions they occupy. The patriotism, the faith, the. courage . of our people throughout the war has won for us an undying fame thrbughout the civilized world, but over it all there is an added lustre, brighter and more glorious than ail beside, that is shed over the record by those who stood at the head of affairs in our most desperate straits, not counting their own lives dear to them, so that they mig".t save the country whose destinies the will of the people and the providence of God had com mitted to their hands. PFNNSYLVAN I AL INTERESTS. A writer who has evidently bestowed much thoudit upon the subject, and who brings an array of undeniable facts and figures to support his views, furn ishes to a in orning cotemporary a strong article upon the importance of our Penn sylvania manufactures and staple pro ducts, and upon the necessity of guard ing these great interests. In speaking of what he believes to be a collossal scheme for diverting the fruits of these great advantages to New York and Liverpool, he says : "They (the schemers) would not fail very ealy to devote their means and in fluence o bring about their favorite tus tern of free trade,which would, of course, utterly destroy the whole producing and manufaPturing interests of the country, so far aS they rest upon our present sys tem of full-paid labor. No sane man who will examine the subject can sup:. pose for a moment that our system of free and full-paid labor can at all com pete wi ii the manufacturer of Europe, who produces by labor that is not paid over twenty-five per cent, of what Americian mechanics and laborers re ceive. We were about to say that we would commend these facts to the considera tion of those advocates of free trade who, for their own piirposes, are also misleading well-meaning men into in sisting upon a reduction of twenty per cent. upon the productiveness of their labor. But it would be useless to reason with men who are without principle ex cept such principle as is based upon Number One, and who are equally ready to utter a gross absurdity, or do any out and out wrong so that thereby they can accomplish their own selfish endi. We prefer to commend the facts referred to directly to those most in terested, and we would urge them to re flect noon them before falling into the trap that unscrupulous politicians have set for them. Outside Steamers to New York. Canal shippers will be interested in an advertisement iM another column, announ cing that the Express Steamship Line have placed three steamers on the outside route between Philadelphia and New York, to commence running regularly from first wharf below Market street, as soon as canal navigation closes. Miss Anna E. Dickinson. This gifted young lady will deliver her new lecture, " Flood Tide," at the Academy of Music, this evening. This lecture has never been delivered in Philadelphia, but those who have listened to it pronounce it one of her most eloquent efforts. THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY, for January, has been received. It opens with Passages . from Hawthorne's Note-Books--the every day jottings down of the lamented author of The Scarlet Letter, kept by him partly as a diary and partly as memoranda. In many short paragraphs we find the germs which afterwards developed into a "Twice-told Tale." These papers promise to make a peculiarly interesting feature of the maga zine. Donald Mitchell's and Charles Reed's stories are continued. There is a capital story of old Russia, called "Beauty and the Beast," which sounds as if written by Bayard Taylor. " Castles in the Air," an extract from an unpublished blank-verse poem by Bryant, is in his best vein. Mrs. Stowe's "Chimney Corner for 1866," is a good paper in which the reconstruction clues tic.n is familiarly and sensibly discussed. "The High Tide of December" is a very spirited story. A well-written sketch called " Lucy's Letters,' by Miss Anne M. H. Brewster; a vivid description of a visit to the battle-field of the Wilderness, and several other clever papers make up a very excellent number of the Atlantic, and we remind our readers that as it is the first number of a new year, the time is an excel lent une tor au bheri biug, or for presenting a year's subscription to a friend. "Ora YOUNG FonKs" for January isdevot ed mainly to Christmas stories and is a very entertaining number. The growing popu larity of this magazine is only what might have been expected for such a lively and well conducted periodical. A year's sub scription to it will make a most acceptable Caristinas present, and the agent, Mr. T. B. Pugh, is prepared to furnish the bound volume ler iNia, and to bind the back num bers for subscribers who wish to preserve them in a substantial form. WurrmAY's.—Mr. Stephen F•'. Whitman's great confectionery establishment, No. 1210 larket street, never was so well stocked and never looked so brilliant as it does now; and the throngs of purchasers of holiday articles add to its gay appearance.

Some of them are really artistic, and after their contents are gone, they will be preserved for their beauty and utility by those who may be fortunate enough to receive them.
