The exodus from Turin has gone on briskly during
the summer and early autumn. Two thousand

persons are said to have left for Florence last week,_ in-
cluding a largo proportion of public functionaries. Under
the porticoes of Castle-square one sees still " Ministry of
the interior" over the doorway, but the once busy hive now
shelters but a scanty remnant of the swarm. A portion of
the employi• of the Public Works Department still remain,
as also do the great railway administrations. Some of the

Mn.. BEECHER ON THE NEGRO.—The Roy. Henry
Ward Beecher, having returned to his duties at Plymouth
church, had an overflowing congregation on his first Sunday
evening, the 24th ult. He entered at once on the question
of the day, and said in the course of his sermon I can-
not see how we shall escape the most terrible conflict of
classes by and by, unless we are educated into the doctrine
of duty on the partof the superior to the inferior. We are
told by zealous and fanatical individuals that all men are
equals. We know better. A common brotherhood teaches
no such absurity. A theory of universal physical likeness
is not more absurd. Now, as in all time, the strong go to
the top, the weak to the bottom. It's natural and right,
and can't be helped. All branches are not at the top
of the tree, and so in the body politic there must be
classes ; some will be at the top, and some at the bottom.
It is difficult to foresee and estimate the development and
power of classes in America. They are simply inevitable
they are here now, and will be more. If they are friendly,
living at peace, loving and respecting and helping one
another, all will bo well. This Christian feeling and prac-
tice can easily settle the mosttroublesome of our home ques-
tions—the condition of the freedmen. Some of you say,
God in His wisdom, has. made it my duty to care for those
but if in His wisdom He couldonly '
people, put um away
somewhere—anywhere, only take 'cm away—what a relief
it would be.' Quite likely; but Ile won't take them away,
and they are not going away. They are hero, and something
must be done with them. Wo have determined that the
masters shall no longer have anything to do with them ; we
have severed that relation, and we must provide others. The
Government
cannot support them long. How can they care
for themselves, without place or position, not known to the
law ? I say, enfranchise them; give them the rights and
responsibilities of citizens. Grant that the black man is
not prepared for the right to vote—when will he be ? How
will he become so ? Let him try it, as a boy tries his
skates. He may tumble once or twice. What if he does ?
He will learn by the effort. I would give the privilege to
everybody, to the Irishmen, and to all foreigners who
come here to live, although I believe that in a majority of
cases the negro would vote more intelligently
and con-
scientiously than they. It's safe to give the privilege to
everybody, and then to teach them." Mr. Beecher then
entered upon a long explanation of his views upon the
woman question, giving at length and with some humour
his opinion as to the right of the fair sex at the ballot-box,
" We aro called disturbers of the community and Radicals. •
So is the sap iu trees. So is spring, which heralds the
glorious summer. No man is lit to be an American states-
man who is afraid of American ideas ; and no question i
settled until it is settled riGlit."
