A Change of Opinion Concerning
the Negro.

A letter from Nashville to The O9denSbTg
| Advance, gives us an insight into the eXper-
| ience of an Abolition editor, turned cotton
| speculator:
A few days ago, Mr.. Thomas, for many
years the editor of The. Nelo HdUen Journal
and Courier, and with whom | have been
many times oyster fishing at Fair Haven,
called to see me. He is here in the cotton
trade, /. e. he would be if he could. lie has
leased a contiscated plantation up the river
thirty miles and is going to farming it.
Think for moment of one OF these ''pizen''
Abolition editors running plantation in
Tennessee! But he's from Connecticut.
There are about 600 healthy and hardy
wenches now in the city, who receive ra-
tions from the Government, and sleeping in
quarters provided for them by the U. 5. au-
thorities. Persons who work contiscated
plantations hire these persons of the Gov
ernment, paying them about seven dollars
month, boarding them, and guaranteeing
medical attendance in case of sickness.
Thomas hired thirty of these people few
days ago, who were enjoying a state of
'freedom," and took them up tohis farm"
Last evening | met him and asked him
about his niggers. His answer was, 20
d-n 'em. they all ran away the second
night. They won't work. They have got
an idea that freedom means eating Govern
ment ratons and lying on the sunny side of
a barn all day. l wouldn't give con-
demned government horse for State full
of them. The children may in time become
valuable to the country, but the present
growth is too lazy to work and too mean to
die.n

One Effect of the War.

To say nothing of the enormous prices o.
all the necessaries of life, including cloth
ing and provisions, by reason of the depre-
citation of the currency and the inordinate
cupidity of the SPECTATORS, the extrava-
giant increase in the rent of dwelling
houses is beginning to be an onerousl bur-
then on the poor and laboring classes, IThis
increase is already twenty-five, fifty and,
in some instances, as high as hundred per
cent. over former rates, and if the present
state of things continues few years longer
it will be next to impossible for any labor
ing man or mechanic in moderate circum-
stances to get house to shelter his family.
This is no fancy picture. The fact must be
as apparent as the light of the MONDAY sun
to every man, woman and child of common
sense in the community. Hence it is evil
dent that the taxes which property holders
complain CT, growing out of the war, are
levied with compound interest on the rent
ers. and bey (not the wealthy CLASSY have
to pay the piper. And yet strange to say,
not few of these same down-trodden
working men are still found in the ranks of
Abolitionism. whenever election day comes
round, kissing the hand that smites them,
and shouting Justify for Abraham Lincoln
and the freedom of the negro! Such con-
duct is unaccountable on the part of the
laboring classes. When, oh when, will the
people get their eyes open, so as to see the
oppression under which they and their
children after them will be made to sweat
and toll and suffer- -CircleUille Democrat.

The Ohio l.egisInture.

This body is earning for itself imperisha-
BILE fame. To say nothing of their skim
milk enactments, their toadying to the AT
rican soldier their nullifying the Constitu-
ton of Ohio, by trying to elevate the negro
and degrade the white citizen, their late un-
successful attempts to run" Congress as
well as their own ''machine, "their wanton
waste of the peoples time (money) would
suffice to hand them down to posterity as
the most trifling Legislative body that ever
disgraced the great State of Ohio.
On the afternoon of the 18th inst, call
of the House, in the lower branch of this
august body of Legislators, showed that 43
members were present and "a absent. 7 The
Sergeant-at-Arms was DESPATCHED for alb
sentees. After waiting some time, there
being such slim attendance, the proceed
ings say the orders of the day for the trans
action of business were dispensed with, ,and
the House, after transactihg "a very little
business Of no great public interest, ad-
journed."
These gentlemen may deem it an unim-
portant matter whether they are in attend
ance or not, and may think they are filling
the bill if they draw their pay and mileage,
and attend the sessions of their respective
bodies when inclined that way; but the peo-
pie, who make and unmake representative
will require more at their hands. They are
burdened just now with grievous weight
of taxation, and can i'll afford to add to it
the daily expenses of a worthless body of
Legislators. The two bodies comprise l3l
members, of which only "A fortunately are
Democrats in the Senate and 20 in the
House. The Republicans are welcome to
the glory, and cannot evade the shame and
responsibility, of the memorable Legisla-
ture of '65-Ohio Democrat. rrG

The LegisInture or Again,

The Legislature adjourned ostensibly on
Friday morning-but practically on Thurs
day eyening-until Tuesday afternoon,
which in reality is until Wednesday morn
ing. In the days when the Democratic
party had the ascendency in the State It was
not necessary to publish lists of daily
absentees from the Legislature, nor
did the Legislature every three weeks
adjourn over from Friday morning until
Tuesday afternoon. Inthose days Of a sub
stantial currency, moderate prices and low
taxes, such inattention to business by legis-
Iators was not exhibited. Would it not be
well for the voters, at the April election, to
manifest determination to change the po-
litical complexion of the State at the fall
election? We are very confident that II
they shall do this the members in the next
General Assembly will be more attentive to
their duties. 6n6 iectt

Pertinent Questions.

The Metropolitan Record asks:
In what respect, let us ask, has Stanton,
or Butler or Dickenson, or Dix any advan-
tage over Andy johnson? If he abandon
ed his party, have not they done the samef
If he is renegade to the principles he once
professed, what better are they? 1t is true
that his ruling vice has made him unpleas-
antly conspicuous flate, butshall we forget,
even for the moment. while gazing at the
antics of drunken man, the steady, clear
headed apostates who abandoned their
principles for place and their party for per-
sonal profit? For our own part, we see no
difference between the newly elected vics
President and the Democrats who Joined
the ranks of their former political oppo-
nents because they kne,o that their recusancs
tco,tld be tveU requatted.

WHAT DOES 1T MEANp--The Washington
correspondent of The NJ. Y. Tribune writes
as follows: ssqr tl IrH
'The regular rebel mail carrier between
Washington and Richmond, of the dentist
persuasion, who has for eighteen months
reioiced in cotton permits and an enriching
trade in the Mississippi Valley, arrived here
yesterday direct from Richmond, in the
regular course of his business, with we'll
founded contempt for the Old Capitol Pris-
on,l and just scorn of courts-martial.
Breckenridge passed him through the rebel
lines. His open sesame of our lines can be
guessed. Cotton iE;king; and cotton will
be king until the N5heth Congress makes
and tries an impeachment for reasonable
trade in cotton" is ~

Hon. o. p. DalM Chairman, &C.:

DEAR SIR-I regret, on account of debili-
ty, cannot take part in the grand cele-
bration Of tomorrow, as sincerely rejoice
in our victories over rebels, which, with
Others impending, cannot fail soon to bring
back into the Union, on terms of perfect
equdlity In rights and duties, the outstanding
States. Reciprocal respect and admiration
have already, by the dint of hard fighting,
been established between the gallant vete-
rams of the opposing armies. and this noble
sentiment gives the hope that it may con-
quer the mfseSrble hatred SO general between
iion-combatafts- secessionists and Union
lists. This, indeed, would be the great con-
quest Of the day.
