KeniRcky FreedzHea.
speech by Gener.l Palmer.


- 49, g. -
The freedmen Of Lduisville held a
eeleblatidn on New YeaI day. About
!, 900 them assembled IN he open air
to listen to speech from their friend
and protector, Gen. Palmer, summary
of whose remarks we copy:
He congratulated the audience that
slavery was ended forsTerin the United
States, and that the colored people hav.
ing ceased to be slaves, had no longer
interests which separated item from
the macs of the American people. To
this continent had been reserved the
glory of a. second example of the de-
liVerance of whole country from sla-
very. Now for the first time ours is the
land of the free, and hereafter the Gov.
eminent is to be maintained by giving
full effect to its own principles.
Hereafter, before the law, there weuld
be no other difference between the col
ored race and others, than that Of color.
In the nature Of things for years to
come, the colored people of the coun.
try must be laborers, but their interests
and the interests of the white labor will
be identical. The efforts to degrade
the blacks and to degrade their labor, do
in effect, degrade the labor of all others,
and are just as much inimicai to the
white laborer IS yourselves. He that
compels the black man 10 work for hall
price, compeis the white man to do the
same. Your. interests are, therefore,
the interests of every white man in the
country.
Heretofore the legislation Of the conn.
try has been very much for wealth and
its owners, for slaves and their masters.
Hereafter, slavery being out of the way,
it must be for the lahorer of what sysr
color, to protect him from the despotisn
of capital sThe slave owners will no
longer be able to control the preiudices
of the, sons OF toll and drive them, to
support systems which robbed them Of
half their earnings, deprived them Of
free schools for their children, and free
homes for themselves.
He expressed his qualification nj. the
general kindness exhibited BY the peol
pie of Kentucky for their late slaves
which he said were trnsg notwithstand-
ing cases of brutality and outrage-the
work of abandoned persons in different
parts of the State. He spoke of the
right of colored persons to testify In
the courts, and predicted that within q
short time all these disabilities would be
removed; that within a feWayears the
question 10 be asked would be not who
is the whitest, but who is the mos
honest, intelligent and Industrious.
he urged industry and thrift and the
cultivation Of kind feelings toward ar
az the true solution Of aid questions be-
tween the races. The speech will be

ly1 received. The utmost good order
and kind feeling prevailed during its de.

/ Condition Of the Poor Whites In
TenmesSen and Alabama.

Condition OF the Poor Whites In
tennessee and Alabama.
We find in the New York Times the
following Interesting report from the
Ladies' Association. of this city, con-
necsed via the America Union Con-
mission. The suffering described is
enough to arouse our wealthy people
from their apparent apathy:
CONDITION IN THE TENNESSEE VALLEY.
Chaplain Goodfellow, an agent of the
Refugees and Freedmen's Bureau, IN
Huntsville. Alabama, writes:
TN the Valley of the Tennessee river
there is but Ettles money. When the
war eeased thay had a good deal of
Confederate money; now that ia worth
less. The surrender was too late in the
season to make crops, and up to that
time the people, black and white, were
too much in dread of a repetition of last
years scenes. And even had they felt
secure, they had not horses and mules
sufficient to put in half enough. ground.
Then ins midsummer, such a drought
visited the valley as had scarcely ever
been known, and what little is made is
literally burned up, so that in the whole
country adjacent to the Tennessee river,
not more than half enough was grown
to subsist the people for the next twelve
months. Hence there is a great suffer
lug for food and clothing, which cannot
be procured unless brought from some
source now out of reach Of these people.
When | tell them / am ordered to cut
off rations, &c, with looks that, / can
never forget, they ask, 'sin Gods name,
what will / and my poor children do r
To yon / need not speak of the feelings
these questions produce, when coming
from women whose very expression of
ecu Htenance betrays their helpless jes-
titntion.as i have frequently been told
that food had not crossed their lips for
as long as forty-eight hours. Without
money, unable to work, and in despair,
these people are found in huts, cabins
and waste-houaes, all through the moun-
tains of Northern Alabama. srfFrH
Z" hope the condition Of these people
| will be laid before q generous and char
table country Most of the snfferers
have been loyal and have even given
their husbands and sons to the cause Of
their country; but whether loyal OF, not,
when Want reaches out its empty hands
and asks for help, Christ and Humanity
say, Givel If you can secure for us
supplies, we will see them jadiciously
dispensed; andAif you send an agent,
which / think win be better, he shall
have the support Of the Bureau which
have the honor TO represent"

their labor is among the freedmen, they
say the need of assistance among the
whites is even greater, and they feel
that they would be false to the cause of
humanity If they withheld their appeal

would certainly dot. The poor return
ed refugees are living in tents, brush
houses, and anything they can get to
shelter them; are half naked and more
than half starved, without work, money
or friends. Their homes, poor as they
were, have been destroyed. The better
class of people are unable to help them,
being themselves, many ofthem, home

nor receive help from the benevolent of

and what are they TO do7 Then all over
the country schools are being establish

while the miserable offspring of the poor
whites are left to ignorance, nakedness

The RAILWAY OVER Mont CESIs.-A Flor
ence letter says: "An interesting expert.
ment has lately been made on Mont Gents,
in presence of NJ. Behic, French Minister OF
Public Works, accompanied by several en-.
gineers. The portion Of the railway already
completed on the slopes along the carriage
road of the mountain was gone over by u
train, consisting of several carriages, at a
rate Of eleven miles an hour in ascending,
and nine and half in coming down. The
incline sometimes attains eight and half
feet in the one hundred and some of the
turnings have radius Of only forty metres,
lone hundred and thirty.three feet) The
works of the Italian side are to be completed
by the end Of October next so that there is
reason to hope that by the month Of No.
vember next Italy and France may be united
by an uninterrupted line of railway. The
system, as you are aware, is that Of Mr.. Fell"

CANADIAN ArFAIRs.-On Monday an item
providing $l34,O00 for the purchase and
maintenance Of gunboats on the lakes and
the river st. Lawrence was concurred in by
the House. Mr.. Derion argued. that year
after year they had been called upon to pro,
vide more and more for the defence OF the
country, and that the present arrangement,
for defence were too vast to meet the incur.
sions Of the Fenians and too insignificant
against the United States. He contended
that the Imperial Government favored the
early accomplishment of confederation for
the purpose Of throwing the entire burden Of
defence upon the colonies.
A report comes from Toronto that one
hundred and twenty rounds Of ball cartridge
have been issued to the force there, and five
thousand pairs of shoes have been bought OF
ordered for the men.
