The Free Negro under Protestant
Tuition.

Commander BEFoRD PIN, of the English
Navy, has recently published pamphlet in
London, on THE Negro and jamaica"
where he has been stationed. The picture
he gives of the negrO's religious character
is by no means flattering, while his account
of the downward road to ruin which that
island has Travelled ever since the negroes
were turned loose simply corroborates all
former accounts. He says:
sin early days the prosperity of ia
maica, in purely commercial sense, was
considerable; and, to give an idea of the
capacity of the island foragriculture alone.

amount of other produce, in 1897, 1866 I3S
pounds of ginger was exported; in 1905,
l50,352 hogshead of sugar; in 1914. 34,0i5,-
5S5 pounds of coffee; in 1882, l9,Sl5,0lO
pounds of pimento. At the present time
sugar has fallen off to 10000 hogsheads
coffee, to S,000,000 pounds; pimento the
same; while of ginger only 650,000 pounds

popularity is the abandoned prOdi-

The Fare of Jefrerson Davis.

The Fortress Monroe correspondent of
the New York World writes as follows
about jefferson Davis:
Mr.. PAWS is supplied with everything in
the shape of creature comforts his fare is
as good as any iirst-class hotel could offer
(being supplied from the table of Post-sur-
geon Cooper, He smokes the most fra
grant HaVaDas, and has access to the Ii
brary of the fort Mrs. Davis can visit him
at all hours during the day, and no restraint
is placed upon their interviews. He has
his regular walks on the ramparts of the
fortification, and in his perambulation he is
not even interrupted by idle curiosity seek
ers who may perchance gain admittance in
side of the fortress-a recent order having
been issued prohibiting persons ascending
the parapets while Mr.. Davis is out walk
ling.
Being well supplied with the daily jour
nails, he pays great attention to all they
contain. From this source he became ac-
quainted with the fact of his Indictment by
Grand Jury, lately In session at Norfolk.
Instead of being downcast through this
circumstance, he seems to be elated at the
prospect of speedy trial.

HORsEMANsHIP.
some RemarltabIe Feats,

A correspondent of the London Telegraph
records some remarkable feats Of horseman-
ship:
"The late Captain HORNE, Of the Hadras
Horse Artillery, rode two hundred miles in
less than ten hours, along the road between
Madras and Bangalore, upon Arab horses. l
am sure that at the present day many young
officer in India could be found to repeat the
performance. Indeed, little is known Of
what can be and is done in India.
81 had but a very casual acquaintance
with Capt. HORNE, from meeting him on
some of our Bengal race-courses, but / have
always admired and often thought about his
great courage and endurance. / fully be-
lieve that you viii find upon inquiry that
his death resulted many years ago from
dysentery, contracted by winning G5OO bet
that he would ride horse named Jumping
Jimmy one hundred miles day in eight sue
cessive days. He started on, think, the 9th of
July, after the racing season would have set
in. and when the heat between showers
would be excessive The morse was none
the worse for his performance, but Captain
HOMES death from the exposure he encoun-
tered was the unfortunate result and was
greatly deplored.
Sometime between 1881 and 1886, the
late Mr.. BAKoN, Of the Bombay civil service,
rode one camel from Bombay 10 Allyghur
(perhaps eight hundred miles, in eight days.
The camel was a little, blOod-looking ami
NAL, almost black.
about 1880 the present Lord ExMoUTH,
then the Hon. Mr.. PELLEw, of Bengal civil
service rode an old English horse named
Cheroot Box, one hundred miles in twenty
four hours-easily. / could draw upon
recollection for many such feats, though the
above are the most prominent in my memo
~ at present. One more / will give, and
j should think il must be recorded in the
Bengal Sporting 1fdgdzine. Certainly well
remember hearing Of it at the time, and
knew the performer, very light, wiry man,
one Of our race riders. He was Lieut..
LOWRY, Of the Dist Bengal navy infantry,
and in consequence Of missing the horse
that should have been laid out for him, four
only mode Of fast travelling in those days, J
he rode little mare, nearly or quite tho
roughbred, though bred in India, one hun
dred and eleven miles in eleven hours.
This would have been some time between
1881 and 1884 have never heard the
truth Of this fact doubted, though, like
many Others il may not have been recorded.
There are, perhaps, very few now who re-
member il except myself"

From the jackson Mississippian, 2Sth.l
As an example of the manner in which
our courts administer justice, in cases Of Of
fences against the rights Of Northern citi
zens. we give below an extract from the re-
marks Of Hon. J "A. p. CAMPBELL, presiding
Judge in the case Of the State against HAIR
pEMAN, upon a recent indictment Of horse
stealing, in the Circuit Court Of Madison
county. The prisoner plead guilty, and
stated, in paliation of thecrime, that he had
thought he was stealing from Yankees
that having fought them through the war,
he felt disposed to do them all the harm he
could.
To this plea Judge CAMPBELL responded
as follows:
Il am never disposed 10 turn a deaf ear
to cries for mercy, but as a Judge | cannot
regard. with the least favor, the plea you Of
fer. Your pretended excuse is no less rep
rehensible in morals than in law, and must
add that my own views and feelings are as
intolerant as are good morals and the law,
towards the sentiments by which you pro-
fess to have been actuated.

We should cultivate fraternal feelings TO-
wards all oar eountrymen, and by kindness
and Justice, invite labor and capital into our
midst. With the end of the war we should
cease hostilities and strive to promote har-
mony and prosperity in our distressed coun.
try. am utterly at a loss to understand
how any person can feel differently. ] am
satisfied that the general sense of this coun-
try is in unison with the views now ex.
press. Your plea can be regarded as a pal
iiation of your crime only by those who
themselves commit or sympathize with
crime Such a plea can never find favor
with me.
The sentence Of the court is that you be
confined az hard labor in the State Peniten-
tiary, for the period Of three years from this
date"
We add an example of different kind at
Clinton, in this county, freedman shot and
killed a white man, citizen of that place.
He was arrested and brought before the
magistrates on a charge of murder, but was
discharged after thorough examination OF
the case, upon the ground that he had acted
in self-defence.

AxorHER SOCIAL PROBLEM.

The San Franssco Monitor, as follows,
gives a grave picture Of the merits Of the
Chinese as a class, and Of the effect of their
presence on the prosperity of a commu-
nifty:
We were informed a month or so ago that
a person had arrived in this city from New
Orleans TO make arrangements for the trans
fer of three hundred Cinnamon to work on
Southern plantations and as all distinctions
of race and color are abolished by the civil
rights bill, 50 far as Congress can do so, we
imagine the day not far distant when the
oopper-colored Pagan labor will be substitu-
ted for the labor of the white man in all the
Atlantic States.
These coolies. for such they are, are a de-
moralizing blight to any communityin which
thew are domiciled. They are active and in
genious il is true, good copyists, quick of
comprehension, and useful drudges; but they
are filthy, thievish and UNANIMOUSLY vile.
They are brought TO this city as merchan-
disc TO be parceled out on the labor market,
with no other condition than the supply OF
their animal wants and their return home,
living or dead, at the end Of the term con
tracted for. Very few return alive, but con-
tinue 20 work on their own account after the
expiration Of their term of service, and at-
ter death their bodies are packed up and
transferred TO the 'Flowery Kingdom" annu-
ally.
There are several companies trading un-
der real or assumed names, engaged in their
import and export to and from this city.
The Chinese population of California may
he set down az 10000; but il may not be-
come rs now TO present any details of the
demoralizing influence Of so large heather
population on State which casts a little
over one hundred thousand votes, or about
fifteen thousand votes less than were cast in
1856. The reduction Of fifteen thousand
votes in ten years, and in State which Of
fers unprecedented inducements, affords in
dubitable proof that the Mongolian, like the
African race, is repulsive to the Caucasian
and we know that the vast majority Of
whites on this coast, ofall conditions of life,
are DESTROYS to return home" as soon as
they ran.
