We have been reading an article in the
Independent, written by Prof. Taylor Lewis,
an ultra AbOlitianist as he states himself to
be, in which he groans at and protests
against what he styles Pariahism. He says
that slavery was, after ALL not so bad; that
the slave was cared for, liked and well treat
ed, and his master might be, and no doubt
was quite a Christian; but that now the
negro begins to be looked upon everywhere
with the greatest aversion. North, where
he lives, as well as South, from what ht
can hear, and he shouts out his alarm CT!
against it. He says this aversion, which NJ
universal suffrage, or any other legal enact
ment can prevent, is worse than slavery ,anC
he shudders to find as he now does the pres
ent condition of the negro worse than tn
first. Why did not he and his friends thinl
of this before.-Picayune.

Rev. DR.. Bellows, referring to Charles Sum-
ner and Thad Stevens, says: Congress is
led somewhat crustily by bachelors, tightly
welded to their own ways, for want of bet
ter brides"
The reason Sumner has never married is
understood to be that he could not spare
the time to admire woman, being too much
absorbed in admiration of his mothers son.
Stevens is probably too mean to get any wo-
man to accept him; but if Morrill, should die
he might marry his widow, for if she could
stand Morrill, she could stand ANYTHING.

in the habeas corpus case of Peter, a freed
man rs. William Frazier, being a suit
brought for the possession of Peters child
aged eleven years. The mother of the child
died in August, 1864. The act of November
81, 1865, recognizes the marriage relation
between all negroes who did then and had
heretofore lived together as husband and
wife, and declares their issue legitimate; but
the Judge held that this act could not be
construed to apply to such connexions as
had been previously broken, by death or
other cause Indeed such construction, if
the language of the law permitted it, would
work great confusion and even hardship
and though DESTROYS to construe the law in
favor of the parent who, in this instance, ha.
had no other wife since the death of the

make marriage legal and valid, then will

future, no sense of responsibility, no choice
often but the indications of circumstances
and the necessities of their condition.
