AN INCIDENT AT THE WHITE HOUSE,

On Thursday last, an unusual and
quite romantic incident occurred at
the White House among the squad of
pardon-seekers there. The suppliants
were waiting around, and among 9TH
ers were two persons, a closely-veiled
young lady and gentleman some
what bronzed, "a rebel soldier once,
quite likely, with a heavy beard and
careful dress. They had not paid
any attention to each other during
the hour or two they had been so
near, and would not have done so for
all coming time had it not been for
the usher. He came with document
and in a sharp tone called out the
name superscribed on it's envelope.
1t was a prominent one once in Geor-
gla, and was familiar to most of the
ears upon which it's tones fell. The
gentleman, with an air of pleasure,
stepped forward to take it, when the
lady, with a little scream, pressed for
ward and clasped him tightly in her
arms. He at first seemed surprised |
by such an unwonted proceeding, but
when she several times excitedly ask
ed, "Don't you know Jessie?" s'Don't
you know Jessie?" ssYou can't have
forgotten me in such a short time,"

oiquant, pretty face. Recognition

Jessie, what are you doing here?" he |
sked. -

says the case and eagefaess with
which old and young freedmen went
through elementary textbooks was
astonishing = -, -.-.-------- -
| Such facts Of conduct are the very
signs, the unmistakable outward ex-
pressions Of civilized aspirations.---
The race that exhibits them il not
/ travelling towards extinction, but ex
actly in the opposite direction.-And
whatever the ultimate fate of such a
race may be-, its determination will
have to be accomplished by wholly
different method from that which has
proved fatal to the red man. The
latter committed the same blunder
and crime that the institution of slav-
cry did. He threw himself across
the track of civilization, and attempted
by bloody and remorseless violence
to check it in its al-conquering ca
reer. His attacks ultimated in in
placable warfare. Probable the civ
llizee has been somewhat to blame for
this result. We cannot stop now to
consider that question. ~ 15l8 D
Our point is, that there is nothing
in the character, habits or antecedents
OF the negro, which will be likely to
provoke against him those destruc-
tive energies Of civilization which
@ have pushed the red man to the wall.
He is not at war with civilization, but
is struggling under grave and harass-
ing discouragements to assimilate and
to. copy after it. And he is no more
inclined tc deliberate starve himself
to death by Incidence than other peo-
pie. "Blt," you will say, ''he is nat
urally lazy, and when not compelled
to labor, he will be gradually showed
aside by his more Industrious white
neighbor." So are you lazy; so is
every mortal born of woman. 1t is
a fundamental characteristic of the
natural heart. Persistent toll is at
first irksome to every human being
The actual enjoyment of methodical
industry is second nature, an &C.
QUESTION and not a native instinct.
Human beings do not make this ac-
QUESTION except under the stimulus
and pressure of adequate motives
Such motives could never be devel-
oped in state of slavery. Neither
can they be developed under milder
forms of oppression. Give the negro
his liberty, all his inaienable rights,
and the same chance you claim for
yourself. Let him understand that
he is not only to work out his own 1
salvation, but that he is to have his
salvation after he gets it worked out!
His of-hand logic in connecting the
possession Of knowledge and lands
with the stability of his freedom and
the permanence of his foothold in the
land of his birth, sufficiently indicates
his receptiveness to those higher mo-
tives which have founded the arts and
built all the civilized structures of the
pras1d, and his capncitYto.rea@aar n.

he must maintain himself II he ex- j
poets to hold his ground amongst

perceptions, and of coming under tie
sway of such influences, can only be
sxterminated by deliberate, wide
spread and persistent malice on the
'art Of the victor race, which it would
lie more foolish than even scandalous
o attribute to the white inhabitants of
his country.-Louisvslle Union Press.

From the Religious Telescope.
an ANECDOTE.

l must now tell you what you will
hardly believe, and yet it is literally
true. A Justice of the Peace in Ma.
con county, whom we will, for con.
venience call Bundle, had negro
whipped thirty lashes on his bare back
a few days since, on the charge of
stealing a pig; and the negro's poor
old mother was stripped and fogged
for partaking of the aforesaid pig
The matter was reported to General
Fiske, and the justice was sent for.
"It seems, Mr.. Bumble," said the Gen
eral, "that you have been using the
lash pretty freely up in Macon . II
reckon I haye,' he replied; s'my
neighbors will all say that if old Bum
BILE won't put 'em through no BODY

slavery has been abolished in Ten
nessee, whipping has become unlaw-
full"
= Bundle. Slavery abolished in
Tennessee! Great God! You don't
tell me slavery is abolished, do you,
General ?n e8 .B
L The General at first thought the
depository of justice in Macon must
be joking, but it was evident he was
perfectly sincere. He went on to
say that he had not had q newspaper
for four years, and had had only one
lslittle chunk Of q circuit court since
The war commenced. He thought the

light-stufed his old saddle bags with
newspapers, mounted his horse and

France, before the Revolution, the
theory that the French government
was not the government Of the king
and the gentilshommes would by them
have been regarded as fat blasphemy.

sisted in Ireland, on the plea that it
was Protestant country and Pro-
testant government In European

is, in short, no corner in the world in
which bigotry or caste feeling has
found home, in which it has not
sought to assert itself by excluding
portion Of the population from civil
rights.
TO have this theory Of the nature
Of our government boldly thrust in
our faces now, after the events Of the
last four years, by men who have
come red handed from the battle
held, and to whose garments the
blood of our sons and brothers still
clings; and to know that the Presi
dent, who owes in part at least his
ability to be President at all to the
valor and blood of the colored troops,
concurs with them in this scandalous
reputation of democratic principles, |
are things which the country, we trust, |
Will lind it hard to bear. We trust.

South Carolinian philosophers will |
be taught in good earnest that demo

FREEDMEN,S INDUSTRY.

| The average Of the incomes o
BARRIERS was $675, blacksmiths $46S
masons $402, carpenters $50, gro
GERS s67S, coopers s41s, and of tur
pentine farmers S446.
awhile the negroes at Newbern, b,
patient toll, were putting such facts
as these on record, the whole refnge'
white population was drawing ra
tions.
sAt Beaufort, of 1902 blacks il
the place, only 800 received help
while at the same time 1,2O0 whites
were supplied with rations.
"The whites invariably sit down
forlorn, languid, and helpless; while
the blacks, by their tinkering, manage
IN various ways to hammer ont liv
ing.
"The colony at Roanoke Island in
two years made improvements whose
lcost-value at the lowest figures was
S44, ,000-more than would have
bought the whole island before the
war, with all the improvements which
the master class had put upon it in
two hundred years. In two years,
Sir Walter Raleigh's famous colony
established here became utterly ex
tinct.
''These general facts concerning
the condition of the freedmen when
the war closed are taken from official
papers, and show what the freedmen
are capable Of performing under most
disadyantageous circumstances"
The same correspondent says:
''The negroes have generally pre-
ferred turpentine farming, the work
being lighter and the returns earlier,
as the product of the first dipping is
ready for market before midsummer.
From three thousand to ten thousand
trees have thus been leased to single
individuals. Many have become rich,
hundreds have lived in ease, and, con-
the difficulties in the way,
remarkable proportion supported
themselves. The same opportunities
were open to the white refugees, and
the result is seen in the report of the
number of rations issued in Newbern,
.he largest camp for contrabands in
he State, and the great city of refuge
or the whole State. Of eight thou |
'and negroes in camp, only three |
thousand drew rations, while in the

treat as has been the cry concerning /
he idleness and worthlessness of the
'lacks, they have eaten far less of the
read Of charity than the whites, and
might trouble some of the most
ristocratic families in Richmond and
'aleigh to show as clear record as
hose they affect to despise.''

Gen. Howard reached Richmond
on wednesday, the Goth ult. He
called at once On Gen. Terry, to con
suit with him in regard to the freed
men, knowing his hearty cooperation
with the agents of the Bureau, and
his efforts, through his district com
manders, to ameliorate the condition
OF the colored people. On Thursday
Gen II Howard, in company. with Col.
Brown, visited the plantations about

the planters Thero 10 . s.roat scarf

they offer six dollars month and ra-
tlons- In general they express de-
sire to have their old hands back, and
often this desire is reciprocated.-
Plantations that used to employ fif-
teen. or twenty hands can now only
muster three or four On Friday, the
party proceeded to Danville, accom-
panied by Gen. Hawley, chief-of-staff
to Gen. Terry. Along the way Gen.
Howard conversed freely with citi-
zens in the cars, among them promi-
nent planters from various sections
OF the State, and explained to them
the objects of the Bureau. Return
ing to Burkesville, where the agent of
the Bureau had collected number of
the chief citizens of Nottaway, Gen.
Howard held a similar conversation
with them. On Sunday evening he
addressed the colored people of
Lynchburg and vicinity, in the col
ored church, which was quite unable
% contain the throng that gathered
here. He instructed them in their
new relations to their former masters. |
