THE FREEDnEN.--THEIH UNDO.


The Journal says''there is more humbug than
truth in the clamor abou! the idleness OF the
freedmen" We think not and We make up our
judgment from the report of Intelligent travellers
Who detail just xhst they have seen. The freed
men have no disposition to work. This is the
almost universal report. And they will not as
long as the Government or the benevolent pro
vide fer them. They congregate IN villages and
only return TO the plantations when necessity
compels them, and then not 10 work but
pilfer what little is left upon them. or course
there are exceptional cases. bot We allude to
What is general with the plantation negroes.
We said the other day that they we're naturally
incident. To sustain this position We quote the
foflowing extract from the New York Tribune
September %. 1855. describing the moral condi
ton of the blacks. and il has particular referenc.
to the free blacks Of the North:
"Nine-tenths OF the tree blacks have no idea Of
setting themselves % work except az the hire
lings and seryitors OF white men: no idea OF
building a church. OF accomplishing any other
serious enterprise, except through beggary of
the whites. AZ a class. the blacks are indolent.

or compassion. whenever they realize a want or
encounter q difficulty. IL eminently oAneful and
enervating. IL they could never more DOT ain
O dollar until they shall have earned IL. many o.
them would suffer, and some. perhaps, stArve"
To shov there Is no humbug in the clamOr
about the idleness Of the freedmen. we refer our
nsighbos to the condition Of the negroes en- the
Sea Islands. There every opportunity has been
given TO show their disposition to labor. They
vsss placed on abandoned plantations. and the
Government furnished them with every facility
for the cultivation of those rich aud productive
lands. What has been the result OF the expert

The weight and Length Of the Nation
at Debt.

Mr.. James Fair. the calculating prodigy, hat
made the following calculation of the weigh
and measure of the National debt, taking as
premise that its amount is, ia round numbers
four thousand millions dollars:
A silver dollar measures one and a half inches
IN diameter. Hence eight dollars, laid side by
side. makes one foot. twenty-four one yard. snd
"a $40 an English mile. The circumference Of
the globe is u 600 miles. and therefore 1912,
ISL 600 laid in one line would girdls il Bul
even this normous sum. being less than q quar-
ter part Of our debt, the whole amount ofthe latter
would e~ncircle il four times and overlap by :, 64O
miles.
Now estimating the weigh, of 3 silver dollar
at one ounce, sixteen of them would make :
pound. and reckoning 1900 pounds TO the ton,
the entire debt would weigh 1875 900 tons. and
therefore l25 ships. OF ! 900 tons each, would
be required 10 forward il By water.
Again, allowing two tuns for the burtLen Of a
heavy baggage wagon, o., 500 wagons would be
needed TO convey this monsirous mass of ndebt-
edness in silver. Now an ellipticali crcle formed OF
these wagons alone ranged lengthwiss with their
teams. would sncircle the three cities Of New
York. Albany and Troy.
Still another interesting guare of this huge
amount. Were il possible for a man to count
Sob per minute aud continue to work steadily
without for 10 hours Of each day for
SIX days IN the week, j, would cost him 365 years
and fO days TO complete the computation by
single silver dollars. Thus, IL would employ
465 men more than one year, 1850 men one day
for ten hours. and ! .l35,300 one Of those hours
TO finish the joo.-Cincinnau Times.

About Hogs i'm Ohio.

live hogs are now paying Ohio farmers eleven
cents per pound for anything of a porcupine ma

fields full of corn worth only fifty cents per
bushel, are selling all their light hogs-half

Why at eleven cents per pound for hogs, corn

not less than one dollar per bushel. We
mean feed-not dribbed out. We have heard
doubts expressed as TO whether farmers would
reserve hogs enough for their own use. IL is
quite sure that a pretty clean sweep Is being
made by the stock dealers"

successful engagement at Mobile. She was
called out there the other night, and proceeded
to address the people in ONE very sensible and
well-timed remarks. She said. among other
things, after thanking them for the kindness al
wrys shswn her b. the Mobilians. that family
cares were crowding upon her and demanded
her attention; that was probably the last en-
gagement she should ever play there, as she was
making q final tour 10 see once more the friends
who had so generally sustained her in her pro-
f~essional career; and she then announced that
knowing her entire ~unitness for the part OF
Camille, being TOO old, too ugly, and too fat, .
she never expected to appear again in it in Mo-
bile or elsewhere. After administering a stirring
rebuke TO those i'll bred vagabonds that annoy
decent people at theatres by screaming, whist
ling, and other vulgar conduct, she retired, ap-
pluaded TO the echo.
