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

an infinite variety of good and tempting
things, and,a;wonderfnl assortment of fancy
boxes for bon-bons. 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.
SEWING MACHINES.—Every household
has become so profoundly interested in the
question of sewing machines and the rela
