THE REMEMBRANCER.
CHARLESTON, January, 90.
AN ENGLISH VIEW OF THE NEGRO
The Liverpool Post says there are twenty
times as many "niggers" in Africa as in all
the West India Islands and on the Ameri.
can continent, and five hundred fold worse.
They are the most miserable of human be-
iugs-the most degraded of men, They
have always been so; the sun for six thous-
and years, at least, has looked down upon
and found them not only "black and curly"
but the most debased of slaves. 1t was not
the white man who did this-the black man
was the tyrant. A transfer to the white man
was bliss; bondage remained-but how diff.
ferent from chains imposed on them on their
native soil and their original dwelling place.
The Post again asks, "Is there any hope for
the future?" which it answers, "not if things
are allowed to remain as they are. The ap-
titude of the negro for civilization presents
only individual examples; the mass have
been savage. They are now savages in Af-
rica. There is no use questioning the fact
it is true. Brought within the control
and influence of the white man, it might be
different would. be different but ordinary
means will never overcome obstacles to the
exercise of that influence Released from
the presence of civilization, the negro will
relapse into the barbarism of his race"
SUGAR FROM THE New CANE.-The U.
s. Agricultural Society has awarded large
silver medal to Joseph S. Lowering, of Phil
adelphia, for the care with which his exper-
iments have been made and the samples Of,
sugar obtained from Chinese sugar cane,
presented by him. The society, throug II its
committee, however, declared that they did
not wish to be understood as certifying that
the manufacture Of sugar from the plant in
the Northern States is as yet demonstrated
to be more profitable than other crops. Mr..
LIS samples were as follows: A sample of
clean brown sugar from that made on az acre
of land which gave 6253 lbs. of sugar and
l232 gallons of molasses; a second sample
of brown sugar, very fair, at the rate of
l22l.S5 lbs. per acre; third of white su-
gar, several degrees lighter than what is
known as clayed Havana, equal to No. l
coffee sugar, and a fourth sample Of pure
white crystalized sugar, equal, as Mr.. L.
claims, to the best sugars anywhere made.
PRIVATE LETTERS FROM EUROPE
Private letters received by commercial
houses in Savannah, says the Republican,
from their European correspondents, by the
last steamer, are more favorable than the &C.
counts by the mails. They represent that
there will be an early and universal resump.
tion of work in Manchester, and that yarns
are already, by anticipation, in advance Of
Liverpool prices for the raw material. A
preference was also given to nine and twelve
months paper, showing that money was
entirely easy. This aspect of affairs is high
ly encouraging, and should dissipate the
gloom on this side of the water.
The Europa's accounts, arrived since the
above was written, contain nothing to con-
tlict with the opinion advanced Charleston
Courier.
