~ The impression is almost
universal among the freedmen
that Registration is an operation
somehow preliminary to their OBJ
tanning an allotment of the lands
of their late masters and it is a
common thing to find them slyly
bespeaking from the Registrars
the selection Of a good tract. Dis
putes often arise on the important
question whether the Government
is to furnish mulesas well as lands,
the negro logic running in this
wise: GsFor what's de use Of bein

~ Why, then, can we not edu-
cate the negroF The question U !
natural, plausible and humane.
Why not Z The objection lies in
one of the most amazing discrep-
ancies that ever existed between
theory and practice. 1t is said
that we can form no just idea of
the negro's capacity for develop
ment because of the protracted
oppression to which they have
been subjected. This seems ration
al enough; but we cannot forget
that for centuries the African
race, master of its own -destinies
upon it's own continent, has made
no progress whatever, but remains
sunk in the lowest depths of bar
barism. All that can be said to-
this is that contact, association,
mingling with higher race, will
produce different results. But
morally, intellectually and physi-
cally, this contact, while only
temporarily benefit to the infe-
rior, seems invariably to be q
detriment to the superior race.
Are nations to be expected col
lectively to submit to a degrade
tion from which individuals are
justified in shrinking3 The con-
dition of the mongrel in Mexico is
a solemn warning against an adj
mixture which ends only in de-
struction. It's true that opposite
races are not compelled to inter
marry because they vote together,
yet this which sounds couvulsiyee
means little or nothing. The
Spaniards sufficiently despised the
Indians at the time of the conquest
of Mexico, but the bloods were

What is the Poor Cotton
Planter to DoP

and the wires gave notice of a
further decline of the price Of cot
ton in Liverpool. The country is
full of croakers as to the future |
of the South, because negro labor |
cannot be commanded to raise |
cotton as formerly. Between this |
and the worms, such is the effect |
on most mems faces that Worm
wood, if his character could be re-
written, would be made to make
the worm and the negro his
'Ecrumbs of comfort"
There is nothing more certain
than that Northern farmers get
rich. At least they build them
selves comfortable houses, their
land increases in value rapidly.
they supply themselves with
great many costly impiments and
tools, they surround themselves
with fruits and flowers, and they
are mostly out of debt, and have
either money in hand, or some
thing to spare which will bring it.
If they have good administrative
ability, such as would certainly be
needed on large cotton planta
ton, they get rich in amount of
money, as well as in independence.
Yet the farmers have very short
seasons, are limited in the crops
they can grow, must manure
heavily in most cases to produce
much of a crop, and have insects
and unpropitious weather to con-
tend with as much as have our
) planters. We can raise every
thing that they can and raising
crops the whole year round, while
their entire season of profit is not
over eight months of the year.
1t is true that these Northern
farmers, when they come to this
region, are quite prone to come to
the conclusion that cotton all
turns to gold, and there is nc
r dross in it. They find, possibly,

IT;appears by The aStationer that at Dres-
den albumenized paper is now being made
in very large quantities, and is considered
the best by reason of the excellent and reg
ular manner in which it is produced. AL
though scarcely four years ago the trade
was unknown here, the city is now manu-
featuring at the rate of upward of six hun
dred reams per annum, a quantity that
would suffice to print more than one hun
dred and twenty million photographs OF
the size known as the carte-de-visite. The
albumen is extracted from the white of the
new-laid eggs of fowls, and nearly two
million eggs. are consumed, the yolks OF
which are used by tanners for preparing
the finer kinds of leather. After prepara-
| ton, the paper is carefully assorted, and
| from ten to fifteen per cent. is thrown out
| but is made available by the, Dresden
| printers for cnlor-nrinting.
