.".FREE TRADE."
The fraudulent character of British
"Free Trade" is well exhibited and ex
posed in the late able report of the Re
wane eon:mission, "Special Report
No. 8," p. .81. The Commission there
wake the following important _state
ment:
"The COMMiSsion would ask atten
tion, in this connection" to evidence
taken. byr them (see the testimony of
Mr. John A. Lowell), which seems to
establish the fact that within a com
paratively recent period the Indian. De
partment of the British government, in
direct opposition to what is claimed as
the established policy of that nation,
With a view to discourage the importa
.
'tion into India of American -manu
factured cottons, levied and collected
- won them heavy discriminating duff,
which duties were sufficient, prior to
1866, to almost entirely.destroy that por
tion of the American taade with India,
which''before that time was large and
increasing."
To those who have studied well the
history of the British mercantile and
colonial system during the past century
and a half, this statement will not
appear in the slightest degree Bur
--
prising. It nws, however, have a
tendenes to open the eyes of those who,
in their have believed in the
honestyand sincerity of English writers
who have attempted to convince the
World that it was to their interest to
open their ports to British goods.
No man, the world over, possesses less
catholicity of spirit than the English
man: No man is so utterly incapable
of investigating the beautiful and liar
mOnious laws of social science. His
reasoning on all economic questions is
biased and controlled by his own pecu
liar interests. His philosophy is mixed
up with trade in cotton goods, iron and
other commodities. He is ready to con
demn and scout all views and measures
-of public policy which stand in the way
of his enriching himself at the expense
of others. All men and all countries
are benighted and behind the age that
would „protect their diversified industry
from the assault of British rapacity.
All people are liberal and enlightened
who are ready to allow the Englishman
to do for them what he has done so com
pletely for the poor of India, Ireland,
Portugal, Turkey and Jamaica.
The case presented by the Revenue
Commission is but the old story of the
ex and the bull. Oar ox was found to
be goring the Englishman's bull in
India, and •he soon found that his
boasted "laws of political economy"
were not suitable for India in:the matter
of cotton cloths. Ho'w is it possible
for our people any longer to be deceived
by this British "Free Trade" fraud?
CORNERS AT THE STOCK BOARD.
It is a regular business at the stock
board to buy and sell stocks for future
delivery, the parties operating basing
their views of future prices upon the
condition of the money market, value of
the property, and the many other cir
cumstances which go to makeup market
values. These operations, carried on in
a legitimate way, are the life of the
exchange r and go to make up the profit
and loss account of our trading commu
nity at the end of the year. But out of
them grow those transactions called cor
ners; which have so frequently disgraced
the New York exchange, and which
some, cliques of unscrupulous operators
are trying to inaugurate here. The
tnode of operating is as follows: A party
goes quietly round to the holders of a
stock, usually selecting one compara
tively worthless, and by some induce
ment make them agree not to sell; they
then buy and sell large amounts through
appointed parties, paying commissions
so .as to make the transactions appear
legitimate; declare dividends, if they can
possibly raise the money; openly pro
claim they; do not intend a corner; get
the stock gradually quoted far above its
known value, and by every means in
their power throw traders off their guard,
and thus induce them to sell for future
delivery, or "short" as it is termed in
the language •of the Exchange. When
they find a sufficient amount of these
-sales have been made, they call on the
parties to deliver, which they know
they cannot do themselves, having
control of all the shares, and thus fleece
those who have money to pay, and
compel the poor unfortunates to violate
their contracts and break. We want to
hold such transactions up to the execra
tion of the community. A highwayman
who boldly robs you of your money is
an honest man compared to those who
practice with low cunning to stab you
in the dark. If such transactions do not
come under the head of conspiracy and
swindling, we do not see the use of law.
we are glad to find that they are
deprecated by the respectable members
of the Board, and that those who engage
in their soon lose all caste and confi
• dence. There are several of these cor
nering operations now being tried at the
SOck Board which need, ventilation,
and, we hope Judge Ludlow, or some
other,magistrate equally disposed to put
the foil force of the law upon swindlers,
will get a case before him.

THE DAILY EVENING. BULLETIN • PHILADELPHIA,:; SATURDAY, YARCHI7; 1.866.---TRIPLE SHEET.
BLACK SMOILMS ELIVWPOETS.
A recently - published - work entitled
the Prince of Kashna, a West Indiaan
story, purports to give the life of a prince
who had, by cruel fortune, become a
slave in this country. A late reviewer,
in speaking of the book, intimates a
doubt whether so well-educated a person
as the Prince of Ka,shna has ever been
a slave in A.merica and that the _ plot , l
to say the least jl3 somewhat too fan
ciful.
The notice in question reminds us
that we have in our possession a strip of
paper bearing a well-written Arabic
sentence, executed by an old slave who
was living in Charleston, South Caro
lina,- not many years before the war,
and who is possibly yet In exiatence.
The gentleman to whom we are indebted
for this curiosity, informed us that the
old slave showedlliim. an Arabic manu
script, written in an old account book,
the subject of which was his (the slave's)
autobiography. He had been a school
master in Africa, singular as it may
seem; teachers being, in fact, not much
more uncommon in that country than
in Tennessee or Mississippi; and was
well acquainted according to the ordi
nary Arabic standard and methods with
the elementary principles of algebra and
astronomy. His knowledge of Oriental
history must have been rdmarkable,
since.our informant (himself a gentle
man of extensive information and author
of a treatise on our Indian dialectti,)
found that the old man was wel
acquainted with the history of Spain
during its occupation by the Moors,
although he was totally ignorant of any
thing that .had taken place in that
country since the downfall. of Boabdil
El Chico, Arabic being the only lan
guage which he could . read. It is not
impossible that the laws of the South,
prohibiting blacks from learning to
iead, had prevented this "gendeman
and scholar" (as all teachers of the
Koran are held to be in the East) from
acquiring a literary knowledge of En
glish.. It may, by the way, interest
those who are not at present entirely
disgusted with politics, to know that
this hindering the negro from learning
to read is now being carried on with as
much vigor in Mississippi as it was
before the war—the latest report of the
Freedmen's Bureau for that State show
ing that there is but one town in the
State the council of which sanctions
black schools, and only eleven towns
altogether in which it has been found
possible to establish such schools at all.
Men of genius who were slaves have
not been as rare as black swans in this
eountry. Mingo, a Southern slave who
was torn to death by bloodhounds,
many years ago, was the author of a
better poem than Paul Hayne ever wrote.
This lyric appeared during the life of
the author, in the Boston Journal.
`George,' who belonged to one James
Horton, of Chatham county, North
Carolina, lived a slave, while his poems
were extensively published in the Ra
leigh Register, and other Southern jour
nals. They subsequently appeared in a
collected form, printed by, Gales and
Son, of Raleigh. Liberty was the great
aspiration of the man, but it was never
realized. In 1837, when he was forty
years old, he was still working as a
slave at Chapel Hill, the seat of the
University of North Carolina. Two
verses set forth the style of this poet:
0 Liberty! thou golden prize,
So often sought by blood!
We crave thy sacred sun to risa;
The gift of Nature's God!
Bid Slavery hide her haggaml. face,
And barbarism fly;
I scorn to see the sad disgrace
In which enslaved, we lie.
Itis a matter to be regretted that the
complexions of these poets and scholars
should have been so much deeper than
the regulation standard of paleness re
cognized by Bishop Hopkins, and the
Methodist and Episcopal churches of
the South. For it is quite evident that
had they been allowed to acquire an
education, or in fact been recognized at
all as individuals capable of ranking
with white men in intellect, they might
have done something towards increasing
the extremely attenuated and turbid
fountain of what is by courtesy termed
the poetry of the South.
Death of an Old Soldier.
Col. Robert Carr, a well-known citizen,
died on Thursday last, at his residence in
the Twenty-fourth Ward. The deceased
had attained to the good old age of eighty
nine years. Colonel Carr was a native of
'Scotland, and came to this city in the ship
Friendship, from Glasgow, in 1784. He
`subsequently obtained employment in the
office of Benjamin Franklin,and served the
Printer-Philosopher as an errand boy for
some time. He learned the trade of a
printer, and in his boyish days he read
"proof" with Washington. His recollec
tions of Washington, Franklin and other
distinguished men of the time was clear
and distinct. In the early part of the pre
sent century Colonel Carr entered into the
publishing business in a limited way, and
several works were published by him. On
the breaking out of the war of 1812 he
joined the army as avolunteer,and he served
under Scott , on the Canadian lines. At the
time of his death Colonel Carr was the
oldest surviving field officer of the war of
1812, from Pennsylvania.
The deceased married the daughter of
Mr. Bertram, the proprietor of the well
known Bartram's garden in West Pnila
delphia, and after the death of Mr. Bertram,
Col. Carr kept the place open as a public
garden for some time. On the occasion of
the Bradford bi-centenary, at New York,
a few years since, the deceased was present
as a delegate from the Pennsylvania Histo
rical Society, and he was treated with much
distinction upon -the occasion. He was an
early member of the Historical Society, and
of the TypograPhical Association. He was
also an active member.of the Pennsylvania
Association of Soldiers of the War of 1812,
and attended all the meetings regularly
Being the oldest anember, he was a/Ways
called upon to read Washington's Farewell
Address or the Declaration of IndePendence,
and cheerfully performed the duty assigned
to him Om the of last month_ he read
the Farewell Address before the Associa
tion.
Mrs. SonthwcirtWo New Work.
By an advertisement elsewhere it will be
seen that Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southworth's ro
mance entitled "The. Fortune Seeker" is
published this day, It is one of the most at
tractive of her novels, the characters being
:well individualized and the plot being ably
and forcibly worked up. There are various
eliciting improbabilities •recorded in the
story, such as astounding resemblances,
chloroformed and abducted brides, a white
female sold into slavery after being triode to
look like an individual of African descent.
A portion of the plot is thus given by one of
the prominent characters in speaking tothe
heroine: "What a life, of vicissitudes has
yours been! Born an heiress; stolen in
your infancy, and subjected to - the worst
evils of poverty; adopted by a wealthy man;
married to a distinguished military officer;
torn at night from your bridal chamber;
carried to sea by pirates; sold as a slave;
driven by desperation to the cypress swamp;
hunted by bloodhounds; recaptured; sub
jected to insult;" exposed to death; and res
cued only at the last moment by an unex
pected stroke of Providence." The line
taken by, the authoress is rattier a new one
for her, but the book will raa. as one of the
most powerful of her productions. Pub
lished by T. B. Peterson ttc. Brothers of this
city.
Great Sale of Earle's Pictures.
Mr. B. Scott, Jr., whose frequent sales of
pictures at his own rooms have excited
much interest, will sell the fine collection of
works, by European and American artists,
of Messrs. James S. Earle & Sons. The sale
will take place in the Eastern gallery of the
Academy of the Fine Arts, on the evenings
of Tuesday and Wednesday, March 27ch
and March 28th. The entire catalogue will
be found on the third page of to-day's
paper, so that we need enter into no details
here concerning the pictures. But the well
known taste and enterprise of the Messrs.
Earle have been shown in the selection, and
there are fine examples of some of the best
German and French artists, and many of
the most approved and popular of our own
country. It is rare to have such a sale of
really valuable paintings in Philadelphia,
and we call the particular attention of con
noisseurs and amateurs to the catalogue.
LIFE INsunAricr..—ln the statement of
the Mutual Life Insurance Company, of
New York, in another column, will be found
some illustrations of the working of the
"Contribution Method" of dividing surplus,
originated by this Company. ' These iilus•
tuitions will be of value to all who are in
terested in Life Insurance, as this method
has now been adopted by several of the
leading companies in this country, and .
others are considering the question of its
adoption.
One thing is certain; life insurance thus
becomes not only an easy and safe way of
providing for one's family, but also a pro
fitable investment ofmoney,looking merely
at the pecuniary gain to the - insured
himself during his own life. This Company
has nearly fifteen millions of dollars, cash
assets. In addition to over one million,
specially set aside to meet extra losses,
should any such, occur from a visitation of
the cholera during the coming year, it di
vides among its policy-holders, this year,
three millions of dollars in cash.
THE SCHOOL OF DESIGN YOB .WOMEN.—
On our fourth page we print some recent
proceedings in the State Senate, in refer
ence to the Philadelphia School of Design
for Women, including an address by its
principal, Mr.. Braidwood. This institu
tion is growing in importance every year,
and is exercising a most beneficial influ
ence, in making us independent of foreign
countries in designs for paper-hangings,
carpets, gas fixtures and scores of other
branches of ornamental industry. We
hope that the Legislature will be liberal to
t in the appropriation bill.
INTERESIING ADDHESS.—On Tuesday
evening next the Re%. William Butler, D.
D., so long known in connection with the
Methodist Missions in India, will deliver
an address at the Green street M. E. Church,
on „"Personal Recollections of the Sepoy
Rebellion, and Incidents of Mission Life." It
will be a thrilling record of personal expe
riencesduring a trying epoch.
THE NEW PASSENGER RAILWAY PRO
JEcT.—A meeting of the citizens of the
southwest portion of the city will be held
t his evening at 8 o'clock, at West End Hotel,
Twenty-third and Naudain streets, for the
purpose of adopting measures for the con
struction of a passenger railway along the
Schuylkill to Fairmount.

The second game began on Friday after
noon, Mr. Reic.hhelm opening an Evans's
Gambit. Much fine play was exhibited in
this game, which was a beautiful specimen
of this celebrated opening. F. W.
[From To-day's New York Tribune.)
The second game was immediately com
menced, and Mr. Reichhelm, having the
move, adopted the aggressive opening
known as the Evans's Gambit. In the early
part of the game, to maintain his attacks,
lie sacrificed a Knight, and, with the same
object, declined a subsequent chance to re
gain. The assault, which he gained, did
not, however, prove Nmpeusative for the
price paid for it; and, after a lengthened
contest, during which the game was reduced
to an interesting end-position,Mr. Reich
helm resigned upon the fifty-fith move. In
the blind game, which was immediately be
gun, Mr. Mackenzie again opened with the
Roy Lopez Knight's Game. Mr. Reichhelm
made a disastrous mistake by hasty play, in
the opening, losing a piece,.and no subse
quent efforts, although he struggled gal
lantly, were efficacious to save the game,
which he resigned on the thirty-first move.
The fourth game will be commenced this
afternoon at 2 o'clock.
