eleven .niillions for Negro Paupers.

The bogusaffair that calls itself Congress
has Just voted eleven millions for the "Nig-
ger Bureau" to establish schools and support
nigger paupers in the South! Just think
| the negroes of the South produced some three
hundred millions Of surplus or real wealth,
| nearly all of which was finally secured to the
people of the North, who built their Fifth
avenue palaces and voluptuous churches on
this result of "slavery," and in 1860 there
was not one single pauper among all these
four millions of negroes. Now this labor
and all this mighty production of wealth is
abolished, for the time being, as absolutely
so as if the negro himself was stricken out
of existence, and the northern laboring clas.
ses are loaded down with debt of three
thousand millions to accomplish the stupen-
dous crime. Counting in the negresses of
the South, who produced as much cetton as
the males perhaps, the producing forces of the
two sections were about equal, therefore it
comes to tais, not only is the labor of the ne.
gro lost to the whole country, but every Ia
boring man in the North must hereafter give
very considerable portion of each DAYS toll
to destroy the former. The emigrant, the
Irishman, the farmer, the mechanic, every
lis-Ah UAaS Nouoo w VIC PAooNSNASh VI euC SOuu-
try must first give up portion of each days
toll to pay the interest on the debt contracted
to "abolish" the labor of the negro in the
South, and what is left he may spend on his
wife and children. If his children nave not
quite enough to fill their bellies or to cover
their nakedness, why he can only reply to
them Z" be patient" for though you suffer for
food and c6thing, and 1 am giving my sweat
aud very life blood, and will doubtless die in
the alms-house, it is in the glorious cause of
emancipating negroes from labor But since
this unapproachable crime of Abolition, the
negroes are not only lost to production, but
northern laborers are to be taxed eleven mil
lions more to support negro paupersl Well,
why not? Since their hand is in, why not
complete the job? Why not indeed, bring
the negroes North and save the expense of
sending agents into the remote South 10 look
after them? Why not, indeed, give every
negro white laborer to work for him here.

a DEArH-BED MARRAcE.-A marriage
took place in this city on Wednesday last,
followed by the announcement of the death
of the bridegroom on tie following day. The
circumstances of this case make it one of sad
and peculiar interest. 1t not unfrequently
happens that bride Or groom, soon after the
performance of that rite which l1its the dear
est and holiest of bonds, is suddenly taken
away in the midst of health and new found
happiness. Then the afaiction is indeed ter
ribe to the bereaved, because unanticipated.
But in the present instance, the young man
having returned recently from the army, was
confined to his bed from disease contracted
in the service. Day by day he sank visibly,
and it was evident that his end was not far
distant. In this extremity his afiauced ask
ed that the marriage ceremony might be no
longer delayed in order that she might be
his bride, though but few short hours, that
for lifetime she might be the widow of one
who had so bravely served his country. I'm
der these circumstances the marriage was
consumated /; and SO it comes to pass that be-

If We Knew.

If We knew tho cares and crosses
Crowding round our neighbor's way,
If we knew the little losses
sorely grevioas, day by day,
Would we then so often chide him
For his lack Of thrift and gain,
Leaving on his heart shadow,
Leaving on our life stain?
, IF we know the clouds above US
Held but gentle blessings there,
Would re turn away all trembling
In our blind and weak despair?
Would We shrink from little shadows
Lying on the dewy grass,
While It's only birds of Eden
Just in mercy flying past?
If we knew the silent story,
Quivering through the heart Of pain,
Would our manhood dare to doom them
Back To baunts of guilt again?
Life has pany o tangled crossing,
Joy hath many a.Oreak of voc,
And the check toar-staincd is whitest-
This the blessed angels know.
Let us reach into our bosoms
For the key to others lives,
And with love toward erring nature
Cherish good that still survives;
So that when our disrobed spirits
Soar to realms of light again,
We may say Dear Father, judge US
AS we Judged our fellow men,"

The Confederate Dead.

The Richmond Times makes the following
singular appeal in behalfof tie Confederate
dead: 1t is not without reason:
But if the United States, while collecting
the bones its soldiers, should also gather
and honor, in some appropriate way, the dus:
of our fallen heroes, how grateful it would be
to our feelings. An act like that would COW
er the Government with more glory than did
the victories of It's vast and countless hosts.
1t would bring tears to the eyes and loyalty
to the hearts Of the widows aud orphans of
the South, and it would be felt and deeply
appreciated by our whole people. The gran
denr and the magnanmity Of such deed
would cause the world to resound with ap-
plause, and no nation would ever better de-
serve praise and glory for such on action.
Here, then, is way to let the hearts oil
North and South beat once more in unison.
Let this great Government show that its ven
geance does not extend beyrnd life aud the
grave; that itcan feel fer and honor its brave
children after they are dead, even though it
considered them in error while living; that
after death it no longer regarded them as en-
emies and" "rebels," but as Paladins and Ba-
yards of noble valor. Peace has been made
with the living-why not with the dead
And if the bones Of Union soldiers are to be
collected, why not render the same sad Office
to those who fell by their hands? Shall the
Government agents, while they are collecting
the remains of their own nier, cast away the
bones Of ours, if by mistake they have gather
ed them up? The most callous and vindic-
49, ,,ou1d nnt wi1linoly do So
The foregoing suggestion is in harmony
with the following remarks of the Chicago
Times:
1t is to be hoped that one Of the lessons the
future will learn from the late war is that
this nation is possessed Of impregnable unity.
This is all that needs to be learned. In fight.
ing the South, we fought not to perpetuate
hostility, but to allay it. We labored to Sc.
cure more in places of less oneness. Our
fighting will have been il. vain if all the ha.
tired and mutual Misunderstanding of the wal
are perpetuated.
Therefore, the sooner we adapt ourselves
to substantial unity of feeling, the sooner
shalfwe have secured the main object of the
contest on the part of the North. To attain
this end, we must as speedily as possible
drop the name of traitor" We must re
'cognize to the full the gallantry and purity
Of those who fought. The bad men on botf
sides must bo consigned to oblivion, and the
good men embalmed in the memory OF th'
people aud preserved as thecommon propert,,
of the nation. The uncalled.for and disgrace
full malignity of radicals may delay, but
cannot wholly prevent, the coming OF tim
in which the memories of Grant and Lee
Sherman and Johnston, Sheridan and Stuart
will be REGARDED as the property of all th
people of this nation. We venture the pre-
diction that the time will come when, if ther
be any ill., feeling in regard to Stonewall Jacl
son, it will be one of envy on the part of Ii
North that she did not give birth to this illu.

We learn from gentleman who arrived
from ThomaSville last evening that case OF
ipfanticide, surrounded with circumstances
of most revolving character, had come to
light in that town.
On Tuesday last, the body OF colored IN,
fant was rooted out by hogs from its burial
place by the side ofa road, in anunfrequented
part of the village. Upon examination, it
was4ound that the scull Of the infant had been
fractured by violent blow. Suspicion was
at once fastened upon a colored girl who was
known to have given birth to a. child which
Lad suddenly disappeared. The woman was
at once arrested by the city marshal, although
she strongly protested that she WAS innocent,
and lodged in Jail. For while she still per-
sisted in declaring that she knew nothing Of
the matter, but she was finally induced to
make the confession that the child was hers
but that it had been murdered by her mother
not by herself. Upon being interrogated
still further, the girl confessed that she had
two children, each of whom was put out OF the
way by her mother in the same horrible man
ner. @ Search was at once made for the mother
but she had disappeared, and at last account:

A COLONY OF NEGROES SENT Our by THE
UNITED STATES CONE TO GRIEF. The eS-
porlation of four hundred and fifty-three freed
negroes in 1868 10 the Isle A'Vache, Hayti,
will be remembered by our readers. Congress
had made an appropriation the previous year
for colonization, and placed it in the hands Of
Mr.. Lincoln. In April, 1863, Messrs. Paul
S. Forbes and Chatles X. Tuckernan made a
contract with Secretary Usher for the depor-
taton Of such colonists at fifty dollars. The
enterprise was failure its specifications, SO
far as a guarantee of a support for five years
from the Haytien Government VAS concerned,
could not be fulfilled; the emigrants became
dissatisfied, and finally refused oil overtures
for contracts for labor, were eventually
brought back, after some delay, at much ex-
pense. -.
On Tuesday, in the Senate, q petition was
presented by Mr.. Tuckerman for the approprl'
alton Of the sum agreed upon with an equita-
BILE allowance for expenses Of delay and re-
turn of the colonis:s, made necessary by cir
cumstances beyond the control Of contractors.
He gives an account of the cost of the expe-
dition, which foots up the sum of $SO,OOO,
He states that " reimbursement OF the ex-
peDses of transportation has not yet been made
10 them, because Of the Haytien Government
to comply with one of the requirements of the
contract-that the Haytien Government was
required to furnish guarantee that these EN-
igrants should not, for period of five years
come to want-and this the authorities de-
clined, on the ground that special legislation
would be required, and that such discrimina-
ton on behalf OF special class would proba-
bly cause jealousy and bloodshed, and GER
tainly would lead to disastrous results."-
