dN ENGLISH OPINION.

G. p r. James, the well-known and popular English
novelist who has been resident OF the State of Virginia
for several years past contributes to the Knckerbocker
very interesting article Life In Virginia. and the
views expressed entirely ut variance with those of
all former British writer's the subject give brief
extract on the Negro Life of Virginia., which, says Mr..
james
Differs very little, believe, from the negro life all
through the South In return for food clothing house
room medical attendance and support in old age about
onethrd of the labor which Is required Of the white
in most countries is demanded of the black He performs
1t badly and would not perform at oil no not
compelled The rest OF his time is spent In singing,
dancing laughing chattering and bringing up pigs and
chickens That negroes the worst In the
man, will admit; but the southerner has been reared
amongst them from his childhood and in general has
tenderness and affection for them of which northern
can have no conception Great Is taken by the law
to guard them against oppression and wrong and
than instance Of cruelty towards negro,
and that perpetated by foreigner That there may
st be evils in the system which might be removed by
law, and that there may be individual instances Of OPP
preston, and bad treatment do not deny but
those instances not frequent those Of cruelty to
wife or child in northern lands displayed evory day
by the newspapers and In point of general happiness it
would not be amss to alter old adage, and say As
merry negro slave must not pursue this branch
of the subject further for pretend to great love
for Dr. Lvingsone's friends the Mnkslolos There are,
beyond oil doubt, very excellent people among
them but, race the see Of them tho less do
think them capable of civilization, fitted take
care of themselves -
