interchange "sweet converse" think, with
hope of the future, that II win bring to them
many more such days Of JOY and gladuess.
The fact Of ID being the appointed time for

PERTINENT QUESTIONS ANSWERED

The New Orleans Tsmu contains the fol.
lowing pertinent bit of catechism, which
will puzzle the Radicals to confute;
Did the Northern States ever have the in
stitution of slavery2 Yes.
Did they free their slavesf No.
How did they get rid Of the accursed
things? They sold their slaves TO the peo-
pie of the South.
Why did they discontinue slavery In their
midstf Because 1t paid better to sell their
slaves than TO keep them.
Did they make any provisions for the
future freedom Of their slaves when they
sold them2 No.
What States were chilly engaged in the
slave trade The Northern States.
Did they continue the trade after slavery
was abolished in their midst3 Yes, they
continued II until the commencement Of the
war.
Which of the Northern States had the
greatest number Of vessels engaged In this
trade and made most money by kidnapping
poor Africans and selling them into bond
agef Massachusetts,.
Could not Congress have passed gradual
emancipation and colonization act, allowing
a moderate compensation for slavesf II
could.
Would such an act have been accepted by
the South Undoubtedly.
What prompted the rebellion In the South'
An assurance that the very men from whom
originally the Southern people purchased
their slaves, after they had been stolen from
Africa, were determined to release them
without a restitution of their own III. gotten
gains in the premises, and to make use Of
the Freedmen as tools, In order to perpetu-
ate their own political supremacy.
Have the fesrs Of the South been realized :
Yes
II is unnecessary TO make further extracts
from this suggestive and representative cat
schism. II order Is to. be brought forth
from the existing chaos, the people Of the
whole country must forget their chickering's
and e1hibi: a spirit Of mutual concession and
mutual forbearance.

? Tho New York Times confesses that its
Expectation of Republican success In thi;
canvass is not high. The time has gone b.
when the Republican party can hope for aid
and support In the South. A wise and gen.
erous policy, characterized by con6dence
rather than hatred, and relying on interest
rather than force, adopted two years ago
would have made one-haH the Southern
States as thoroughly and reliably republican
as New York or Indiana. The adoption oi
such policy is no longer possible, nor if it
were would it have the same effect. The
Republicans now rely tor this result on sepa-
rating the blacks from the whites and carry
ing the elections by the negro vote. We do
not see any great chance Of their succeeding.
Missionaries from outside-tracts, speeches,
exhortations and kindred influences, howev-
er Jealous and strong, will always be weak
and impotent as against the daily contact,
the mutual dependence. and the constant
pressure of business and of social activity.
This always has been the case, and il always
will be. 1t is so in the North, In spite Of the
intelligence and in dependence which char.
acterize our people. The laborers in the
mines Of Pennsylvania vote In the main with
their employers The mass of the workers in
Lowell and Lawrence, and everywhere else,
vote with those who give them work-not
from compulsion or from fear, but from con-
viction, or at least from preference. They
naturally act with those on whose capital
they live. Their first and strongest feeling
Is that their interests are the same-that they
must stand or fall, prosper or pine together
And noamount Of political propagandism al
erra succeeds in putting them apart.
"There Is every reason to suppose that the
same thing will prove true in the Southern
States. The blacks and whites in the main
win 20 together. There may be temporary
and local separations, but as general thing,
and In the long run, the whites will plan the
campaign, mark out the programme, nomi-
nate the candidates, ard the blacks will help
elect them. And probably one OF the most
important Of the results achieved by Con-
gress, in the snfranchisement of the negroes.
will be the increase Of political power which
it thus conferred on the Southern States"

In our hurry last week we failed
to acquit Railroad men, generally, Of
all sympathy with those of their as
sociates who, forgetting, not only
propriety, but humanity, committed
the outrage on the colored people Of
this community which SO shocked
every one. We take this occasion To
make the amende honorable, and say
that as a class, the Railroad men OF
both roads, condemn the action Of
these fellows in this affair, with as
much unanimity as any other body
of our citizens, and with more veho.
mence because of the reflection that
they wrongly suppose will be cast
upon themselves, and the great in.
justice which has been done their
own respectability by this dereliction
of their comrades. We can assure
these gentlemen that no blame at
taches to themselves from this affair;
that they are regarded with the same
favor now as heretofore, and will con-
tinue to deserve it as long as their
conduct is SO irreproachable.-

PERTINENT QUESTIONS.

The Montgomery Nail suggests the follow.
ing interrogatories:
II the Yankees believed the Declaration OF
Independence intended freedom for all, why
did they not free their slaves outright after
the revolution, instead of selling them to the
people OF the South2
II the Yankees desired the destruction Of
slavery, why did they vote for continuing the
African slave trade to the year 1902
Why was 1t that Massachusetts, had the
greatest number Of vessels engaged In this
trade snd made most money by kidnapping
poor Africans and selling them into bond
age2
Why was 1t that when Virginia and other
Southern States desired emancipation oil
slaves thirty years ago, that Massachusett,
commenced agitation against ~, and created
sectional animosities which prevented it7
Why was It that the Yankees never
thought of emancipation during the war un-
I'll some Of the great generals Of the Confed-

fHR Crops.

30 far % We learn, the crops Of wheat In
every part Of the country are promising, and
the corn crop will, doubtless, exceed that ol
the last year, which was estimated at thou
sand millions Of bushels. An abundant sup.
II ply Of breadstuffs and provisions is the FIRST
necessity of the country. All business pros
lperity is founded upon It. Labor will be
dear, and Its employment impracticable,
while the means Of living sre scanty and
costly. Flour, at Wholesale, was quoted In
Saturdays IsrELLioENoER at from twelve to
nineteen dollars barrel, according 70 quail
y. The wheat crop Of the last year was far
short Of the wants Of the people. Its failure
was owing, In part to the severity Of the
winter of ls66-66, which Is reported 10 have
abridged the crop In three States onlt--0hio,
Kentucky, aud Indiana-to the extent of
twenty millions Of bushels. There were
other reasons for the insufficient production
Of breadstuffs. The labor lately withdrawn
from agriculture by the war had not return
ed fully to that pursuit. The imitation of
the currency encouraged speculation, and q
misapplication Of capital and labor. Il now
appears that more land has been put under
cultivation and more labor employed in the
Southern and Western farming regions than
ct any time since 1861. The winter was IA
vorable, and the spring also to crops of all
kinds. The fruit promises well in all direc.
tionA and that 10 no uncomfortable item In
subsistence.
The short crop In the South was owing to
the disorganization Of labor, TO the ravages
OF war, and TO an unproptious season. There
Ia reason to believe that this will be q year
of comparative plenty, or that at least
enough will be produced to prevent the re-
currence Of the present scarcity of food.
AZ to provisions, we must look to the
Northwest and the Southwest for an ade-
quate supply. Neither bacon nor other pro-
visions will be produced in the Southern
States, except Texas to the extent of the
demand, aud this may also be said of the
Eastern and some of the Middle States. But
the cou2tiy may be congratulated upon the
feet that we are finally TO enter upon new
cycle Of abundant hsrvests and of cheap food,
which will enliven every branch of industry
and place public prosperity upon stable foun-
dations.-N National Intsilgsncer.
