EDITOR HAwK.EYE.-Aj joint discussion
between Messrs. Grinneu and Mitchell, RI
val candidates for Congress in this district,
came off at this place this afternoon. The
meeting was held in the City Hall, ana was
attended by as many ~ could get into the
room. ! viii not occupy your space With

fulfilled the expectations Of his friends. -
He makes an earnest, patriotic and elo-

the vigorous prosecution Of the war until
every rebel lays down his arms and ac-
knowledges the authority Of the Govern

be deserved hanging, and that she would
like 70 help pull the rope! At the discus
sion in Newton several women In the audi
ence were unable to restrain their anger,
and actually ahook their fists at him and
called him traitor to his face.
Here this afternoon, man who has q
son in the army, and who is himself a
SOutherner by birth, was so incensed at
Mitchelps talk that he told him right II

The Negro's Capacity for Civilization

At a meeting of the chronological Society of
London, lately, q paper was read from Major
Burton, containing an account Of visit 10 tie
Fanes. The Major confirms the previous &C
count of their canibalism He said that the
eating of human flesh was confined to the
males. He describes their appearance to be
not ferocious, but they had generally a wild
expression Of countenance. Their intellectual
capacity he considered extremely limited.
Major BurtOns paper, taken together tends
to coufrm the opinion that the tribes in Africa
are incapable of attaining high degree OF
civilization. lie regrets that the hope of the
future OF Africa has been much weakened by
recent researches, for it was formerly supposed
that the degraded condition of the negroes
was attributable entirely TO slavery and the
slave trade.
The recent explorations in the interior OF
Africa, beyond the range of the slave trade,
has proved that the negroes there are quite as
barbarous, if not more so, as in the country
near the coast. The African negro seems to
require the restraint Of some higher authority,
to develope even the small degree Of education
and civilization of which he is generally capa-
bic. Sir Charles Nicholson, a distinguished
ethnologist, thinks that the lower race of man
kind, must be placed under some restraint to
promote their civilization. He refers to the
aboriginal inhabitants of Australia and New
Zealand in confirmation of that opinion. The
observations Of Major Burton confirm the
statements of NJ. du Chaillu.
We commend these documents to the atten-
tion of the commission, appointed by the pres
ent administration to Inquire into the feasibii-
ty and advantages of making the next gener-
alton one of muattoes, at the head Of which
is Robert Dale Owen.

Not the great lawyers Of our county, but
the lawyers Of light purse and desperate pur-
pose-bar-Foom politicians.
Is there al undonbted majority of land and
property owners in your county who desire the
restoration of the Union as it was?
Yes, the great majority desire it
What would have been the action of major.
tiles of property owners 10 those counties but
for Mr.. Llncolns proclamation?

confederate government, and would have sought
opportunities for restoring their States 10 the

What is the proportion of White and black

! The worst consequences of servile war
paupeFism and the desertion of lands
Is there any reasonable hope of white races
from Europe doing the work Of the slaves?
The Irish now among Us never cultivate the
fields beyond diichiug and fencing, and could
not endure the summer heat
Would the repeal of the Emancipation proc
lamation probably row lead 10 effective meas
ures for restoring the States to the Union?
When We talk to our neighbors of returning
to the Union We are answered By the politicians
that there is no hope. The proclamation de-
mands of Us the sacrifice of everything 10 any
attempt to return.
Would the slaves, if armed, fight for their
