SOUTHERN ITEMS.

How far the people of the South are willing
to go concerning the negro, and just where
they will stop concerning him, are seen in the
conclusion Of an article in the jackson Miss
NeeS, commenting on the work of the recent
Mississippi convention We quote:
'All the laws passed bear equally upon the
whites and blacks. Robbery arson, rape, and
other dark crimes, are to be punished with
death, no. matter what the color of the often
der. The right of property is to be protected,
whether the owner be Caucasion or African.
INDECENT paupers are to be provided for, and
Migrants punished, be they of what color they
may, There has never been the least objec-
ton made to educating the negro, on the con-
trary we want no ignorant class Of freedmen
among us.
We see nothing but cheering signs in all
this, unless the people of the north are deter
mined to infict negro suffrage upon u.s. If
that is to become the test of loyalty, then we
are indeed lost We have 'emancipated the
negro we are determined that he shall lie
protected in his freedom, receive full and fair
compensation for his labor, be protected in his
right of property, educate his children, if he
chooses; but make him our equal-never-
never-never! That must be done by some
enemy more relentless than the unfortunate
people Of the South have heretofore encoun-
tered, either in the field or at Washington. A
subdued people may have no rights; but a
proud people, though vanquished, cannot aid
in their own degradation. That must be done
by others"
There is not a northern State which would
go farther, concerning the negro, than Missis-
sipri has gone, if the same proportion of the
population were negros as in the south.-Bos-
ton Courier

The rapid development of the Fenian Or
ganization, in spite of the opposition Of the
Church and the hostility of the entire Irish
press, is one of the most singular features of
the late foreign news. Evidence of the ex-
tended ramifications Of the brotherhood in
Ireland was cropping up in every direction.
Nocturnal drilling in the mountains and the
marching of whole companies in the dusk OF
the evening, have ceased to excite surprise.
We would say to the Fenians in this coun-
try, "look before you leap" About four years
ago we of the South had "whole companies
marching in the dusk of the evening" and late
into the night All this was not in opposition
to the Church" but on the contrary, the lead
ing churchmen gave 'aid and comfort" to
these night drills. These marches finally cul-
minated in one long tramp" of four years du-
ration. And a bloody tramp it proved to be-
Let the Fenians take warning as they contem-
plate the thousands of graves that furrow the
hills and valleys of the South. Many of their
own countrymen, led off by the same spirit
which now pervades the Fenian organization,
Joined the contending hosts and thousands of
them found graves upon the soil of Virginia.
Amongst all the impulsive nations of the earth
the Irish take the lead And such is their
natural pugnacity, they would not give
farthing for justice and equal rights unless
they had first had a fight for them. Bat the
sad lessons gathered from the mighty struggle
which has just ended, if reflected earnestly
upon by the Fenians in this and the old
country, may lead them to believe that peace
hath its victories no less renowned than war"
and in her paths they may sooner find those
rights which they seek, rather than in the
s'pomp and circumstance" of glorious war.
