Bronze lor the Colossal Washington
Monument.

The casting, at Munich, of The bronze
horses for the above monument il one the
creates; feats of the kind OK modern times,
and sccording To an Euglish paper the pro-
cess was one of much interest hroughou'
Fifteen tons Gf bronze had 10 b. meitei
and kept u st4te of tiuiditv. For several
DAYS and nights previously Il Large spds of
fire was working at the huge masses, watch
re3ui ed To be stirred at times, to which
10. answ cred in grumjiing tone Still,
When the bronze was entirely hqdiaed, an
ultimate eaSsy was made in small trIa
cast. and for heightening the color, some
more copper was even then added Sue
ce>>ivev al the tha..bers through which
tae metal had 10 flow IN the torn were
cly.ar,d o. tie coal with which Iaey had
been kept warm, aud the Master Ultimately
examined ali the air spiracies and the issues
of The metal: then the props OF the different
tubes were set, and every man hal his duty
and Place assigned him.
Finally. the Master. amidst the intense
expectation of many art-amateures present.
pronounced the words, "ix THE NAMES OF
GoD," and then three mighty strokes open
ed the fiery gulf, out of which the glowing
metal flew in 4 circuit to the large form
The sight was magnificent; and in the liz
lie sea of fire stood the Master, and gave
his commands about the successive open
ing oi the props. Hot vaPor poureG forth
from the air spiracleS; in the conduits the
metal boiled in waves; still, no decision yet,
as the influx OF the bronze in the very veins
of the figure could be but slow.-At once
flaming showers jumped out Of the ajr-con-
duits. and the Master proclaimed the cast

\ lgud ceer followed, when the Master
approached NJ. CRAWFORD. the artist of

Buck anu the "Littlc giant.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Enquirer or the 2S'h ut., says:
Mr.. Douglas called to day and presented
his respects TO the President elect. Mr..
buchanan congratulated the Little Giant"
on his improved appearance since his mar
riage, and Douglas responded by recvmmrn-
ding him to try the same reforming process.
Whether Mr.. ucharan consulted with
Douglas in regard to his Cabinet, has not
vet transpired If he did, Donglas RECON-
mended Richardson, of Iilnoise, first; Har-
ris, of the same State mex; and Stevenson
of Ken,uakey. Richardson for the mission
to Brazil, anG Harris for Postofice, would
be an arrangement that would give great
satisfaction to Douglas and he lIinoisi ans.

in exchnngea3e value in Washington as in
some other parts of the country.

Past and Present Condition Of the
Negro.

Our friend OF The Gazette 4 Citizen quiet
ly crawfshed frem his former position TO
which we referred in a previous article, and
ly wav of excusins himseh, he gives US
another article, taken from the New York
,)Ls,rrer, which laburs to show that slavery
!. ;us,i6shle because it hes bcttcred the
condition of the negro. That the negro is
II better condition HOW than when in the
wills of Africa, we arc willing 10 grant,
for the sake of argument; but does his justify
slavery! is it sufficient to cxculPate the
master from the crime of holding slaves!
would it be plea through which the eying
sinner would expect to gain stInittance to
The better world! Would you, good sir,
if this be so benevolent a work, be willing
10 receive reward proportIonats to the good
you could DO by holding slaves. Verify,
no. If there is any good comes out OF this
iniquitous institution it i'd owing 10 the tact
that an oFerruling providence brings good
out of evil; and the Institution can claim no
credit of working a great reform, neither
csn the master take to himself any praise
for the improvement of the slave, because
:, is the aim and policy Of every slave State
70 keep its slaves in ignorance. were il pos
s,ble even in greater ignorance than they
were in,in their native cline. In evidence OF
this we quote the following from the Amer
,c4a hdtpendent, OF Huntsville, AIabama:
Our board of Mayor and Aldermen, in
response to a memorial OF our citizens ior
additional police regulations, have passed
law providing in substance:
Ist. There shall be no schools for ne
eroes, free or slave, taught by either white
persons or black.
cd. Any white man found teaching blacks
shall be fined $50.
a.. There shall be no assemblages Of
urrroes after sundown, for the purpose Of
attending preaching; and no colored man
sball be allowed to preach to colored peC-
pie, snd no white man after night.
Here are facts which you cannot dispute,
All the profit the poor negro receives is be-
grudged him by his master. 1t is made a
.iulation o: law to teach negro, and yet
vou would claim that this course is eleva-
ting the race. This viii never do. You
ssust Try again.

But We will not stop here. If YOU are

But We will not stop here. II you are
anxious to LOOK into the merits and demer.
its Of slavery, let us for moment refer you
to few statistics, which go TO shoS its
influence on the white race. In the State
Of Alabama there is one In every twelve
who can neither read nor write, while in
New York there is but one in every one
hundred and three. We could compare
other States TO shsw like results, but this
will suffice. To what other cause would
YOU attribute this contrast But again the
whites of the South no do not hold slaves
compose about seYcn-tr nths of the whole
population. Il is this class who feel the
bligh,iue curse o. s'a,ery more than any
other. O; this class OF individuals the Hon.
J. H. LuNPgIy, Of Georgia, says they are
"poor, degraded, hait-fed, half-alothed and
ignorant, and without sabbsth schools, or
any other kind o: instruction, mental or
moral" Here you have the condition of the
majority of those who do not hold slaves,
and also majoriiy of the white population
of the South. Now tell us does the benefit
conferred upon them by slavery atone for
all this! But We qnote again. Gov. HAM
MosD speaks Of these poor whites as fo!-
lows:
They obtain precsrious subsistence by
occasional jobs, By hunting, by fishing, by
p'undering fields or folds, and TOO o'ten by
what is in its effects far worse-trading
with slaves, and seJteing them to plunder
loI their benefit.
Other quotations we could give were
deemed necessary, but this ID enough 10
show the awful effects of slavery on the
poor whi'es, saying nothing of its corrupt
ing and efTemnating influences on the rich.
The evils of slavery are so various and COM
plicated that We cannot notice them all.
but ill leave the subject for the present.

The "iIan of Pleasure.

Rev. 7. Cuyler, of Market street Church
New York, in his discourse on "Christian
Manhood" delivered On Sunday evening,
made the following aliusion TO the Bond
street tragedy:
81 trust that no young man here will
need TO be warned sgainst that wretchetly
false idea OF manhood which is SO rife in
certain circles of this miiliun-peopled city.
The counterfeit n anhocd' OF an oath and
cigpr-a bottle Of brandy and a pack OF
cards-a box in the theater, and bet on
the race-course. Hundreds of young men
are constantly aspiring to such badges OF
nobility as these! You m1y see these am
bilious youths ordering, with 4 consequent
tial swagger, their wine-suPpers at the fash
ionable 'hells.' You may cetect them at
the midnight hour pulling tine door-bels OF
haunts of infamy, and whispering false
names through the iron lattice; you may
discover an intidel book in their trunks,
locked up with an obscene picture, revol-

Every now and then there is a tremend-
ous explosion in our community, which
blows off the covering and lets US AN look
in upon the rotten heart of certain style
of city life. During the last week we have
all been looking in with loathiag and con-
sternaton. We have stood in the chamber
whose walls were bespalted with blood and
have seen the bitter end of career which
cast eff the sweet res.rnin's of domestic
purity fer the polluting crress of the
"strange womun." We have seen remark
able cluster gathered around tha, corpse
amid hysterical teors and ill-timed meri-
ment. We have seen the unblushing cour-
tesan testify ing against the man of pleas
ure,' who had flung her aside for other spoil;
the officer of justice swearing to scenes of
broil and bitterness in house where Gods
law of marriage had been trampled under
foot; and amid such surroundings we can
descry some yet fir, sh from the family altar
OF a rural home. fYho aid that deed of
darkness is yet painful mystery, but it is
quite too certain that there had been foul
murder done 10 conscience and to character
within those walls long be! fore the gurroter's
moose Was slipped and the assassin's poniard
driven to the heart. Heaven save YOU, nv
dear young friend, from the manhood OF
Law less libertini=m! And Heaven save our
great metropolis, when its Brussels carpets
come to be stained with blood, and the quiet
OF its statelicst streets is broken by the
midnight shrek of murder!'
