compliance with such insolent demands. The conference continued some hours, the authorities maintaining 8 conciiatory and peaceful course, and the negroes asserting their claims with arrogance and violent de- monstrations. They were finally quiet ed by the assurance that their claims should be taken into consideration, and such ar engagements made as could with proprlety be brought about. This means nothing, of course, as the demands of the negroes must be compiled with or resisted. In case they are compiled with, the town, and as a con sequence, the surrounding country, will be under their rule, and if they are not, con tlict may be expected between the white and the black races, in which the former will have great difficulty in maintaining their ground, as they are in the minority. There are about twenty.two hundred negroes Tn Chatham alone.
 At Sandwich, three miles below this city, there was a disturbance growing out of the same cause. The whites, in apportion- ing the school tax, assessed themselves only, leaving the negro population out, in order that they might not control the cause of education at the ballot-b box The negroes were highly incensed at ths and went in body to the polls on the occa- sion of the election of school officers, de- termined to vote. They were resisted and driven away, and much ill-feeling and en- mity engenderod.
 It will be seen by all these indications that the negro population of our neighbor- ing province has been organize and bold in its opposition to the legitimate institu- tions of the country, and overbearing and in solent toward its rightful citizens. We may safely say that the hatred with which they are regarded in return is no less violent or open than their own demonstrations. There are very few whites living on the borders, where this fugitive race most congregate, so ia natic as to close their eyes to the fact that their immigration is fast tending towards the edemoralization ofthe country. As citi zens they are worthless to the last degree, while crime prevails among them to an alarming extent, and swells the criminal calendars of the county with the most re- volting offences particularly with the vio- lation of female chastity With all this in return for the mistaken kindnesses which have been offered them, they are now be- coming bold and violent, and have dared to resort to the high handed measures which we have recorded, all of which, we repeat, are obviously the result ofa concerted move ment among the great body of negroes in habiting this portion of the province.- Canada has nursed a viper in it's bosom, which is now prepared to turn upon.it. The hordes of blacks which have for years poured into it's border counties are begin ming to feel theirpower and, if we mistake not, will give infinite trouble before they are again crushed down to their proper

In consequence he will never consent to any project of separa ton does not proceed from any motive of ambition or family greatness. (sic) His Holiness is merely accomplished the integrity the patrimony of the Church, of which he is only the administrator.

SCHOOL DISTURBANCES AT SANDWICH-THE
 BEAUTIES OF PRACTICAL ABOLITIoNIsM.
 From the Detroit Free Press, Jan Is.
 The negro disturbances which were alIu- ded to in our issue of yesterday were not overrated in importance, as is confirmed by subsequent advices, while the extent of the agitation was much greater than was at the time surmised. In regard to the fiendish transaction enacted at Anderdon, half of the truth was not told. Officers are still in pursuit of the rescued criminals, and great indignation prevails throughout the whole vicinity, so that, if they are caugbt and delivered into the hands of the popu- lace they will be severely dealt with /
 At Chatham, forty miles from thfs city, a crowd composed of several hundred ne groes took possession of the public school houses early on Monday morning, and when the white teachers and scholars ar rived, refused to allow them to enter or in any manner obtain possession of them.- As there seemed to be disposition to car " matters with high hand, the authori- ties were called in, but, from the fact that the negroes inhabiting the town far out
 number the white citizens, there was no means available except those of concilia- tion The Africans were headed by one Shadd, a negro, who has made himself prominent in that vicinity for some time. having been concerned in the forcible rescue case which occurred there two years ago. The Mayor and Councimen assembled on the spot, accompanied by majority of the citizens. The whole town was in an uproar in consequence of the warlike de- monstratlons of the negroes, and the crowd and excitement were consequently very great. The negroes demanded not only that the schools should be thrown open to them, but that they should be allowed to participate in their management, which on account of their numbers is equivalent to giving them the control They have hith
 CT been to allotted schools and teachers by themselves, the latter being drawn from their own race; but they declared that they were as good as the whites, if not better, and that they must be allowed to send their children to the white schools. It was not claimed that any superior advantages were to be gained by this arrangement but the negroes considered 1t an indignity that they were not placed in immediate contact with the whites, and were determined to con-
 pei the latter to submit to their society and that of their children. As the hatred en- tertained by the white citizens against the whole race is neither slight nor in any man ! ner disguised, it may be imagined what their feelings were upon being coerced into

Died, in this city, on Thursday, the 23d inst, of consumption, Mir. w. L. D. WILLIAMS. lNpExn1
 It is seldom we are caftet upur to record the death of one more lovely in his charac- ter, or whose prospects for future distinction and usefulness were brighter than those of the deceased How often are the fairest flowers soonest gathered; and the most promising first to be cut down by death.
 Mir. Williams was born in York dis trict, South Carolina, on the 3lst May, 1888; and came with his parents to this State in 1S42. His early education WIS received from his father, Rev. A. Williams who, for many years was an able and faith ful preacher of the Gospel, as well as a successful teacher of the young.
 Mr. WIS first entrance upon public life was in 1850, when he served as page of the House of Representatives of this State In 1852, he was chosen assistant secre- tarv of the Senate; and, in 1854. he was elected the secretary of that body.
 In January, 1854, few months before he was one -ands stwenty, he was licensed to practice law in the supreme and inferit r courts of Arkansas, by Judge Walker. This, though not in accordance with law, was permitted by the Judge in compliment to him for his great proficiency in legal knowledge. The high hopes of his friends, excited by his brilliant career in the begin ming, were more than realized in the stand he took in the profession before his death.
 It is the uniform, constant and unvary- ing testimony of those best qualified to iu lge in the matter, that he had no supe- rior, of his age, if an equal, as a lawyer, in the State. God had given him mind naturally clear and comprehensive, and he had richly furnished it with literary and legal information. His career was onward and upward; and, had his life been spared, he would have been one of the first men in the State. Under the pressure of atflction, his energy of character and activity of

Persecution of Journalists in France.
 A letter from Paris, dated January 12

A letter from ParlS dated January l2, says:
 There reigns at this moment in France a real terror over the religious press. M. Louis Nenillot, editor of the Universe, con sders that the attitude of the government will prevent his journal from lasting more than month; the A obe Sisson, editor of the Ami de la Relion, however much he en- deavors to remain unnoticed, cannot avoid daily threats from the government and the Journal des NilleS ct des Compagnes has received an order to discharge its courage ous editor, Mr. J. Wallon, if 1t wishes to avoid being itself suppressed. Finally, there appeared last Monday in the semi-of- icial Constitutional, long article, which is only violent threat against all Catholic association, and especially against the soc- ety of St. Vincent de Paul. There is no longer any religious liberty in France, and the silence of the religious press, as well as the loud boasts of the anti-CathoIic press, must be interpreted with this consideration in view.
