MEETING AT THE COOPER INSTITUTE.
New YORK, November 14.-At a meeting
at the Cooper Institute last evening Govern
or Parsons said: |
At the time the Confederacy collapsed |
the corn Drop of the State was Just in a con-
dition to be ploughed and hoed for the first |
time. The black people, believing they
were free, were determined to test the ques-
ton of their freedom. Knowing no other
way to do this except by quitting their
work and seeing whether their masters
would order them back, they abandoned
the fields. The consequence was that the
crop suffered just at the turning point. A
draught of unusual severity set in and the
State is now left with less than half crop
OF corn, while less than halfa crop of small
grain for breadstUffs was raised. The same
state of indigence exists among the black

invitation to be present, General Grant said:
1t affords me great pleasure to see so
an organization as yours, inter
ested in SO deserving a cause, however we
may have differed from our Southern breth-
rem in the events of the last four years, we
have now become one people and with but
one interest The war has worked much
ruin upon much of the South, that without
some aid from those who can give it, there
must be much suffering the coming winter.
The work of your Commission, while it will
give present aid where it is so much needed,

ever is calculated to increase the friendship
and brotherly feeling between the two sec
tons of the country, l heartily approve.
