JEWS AS CITIZENS.

The Richmond Examiner, in commenting
upon the late bigoted and unjust action of some
of the New York Insurance Companies against
the Jewish people, remarks:
A well known magistrate of this city, whose
testimony as to the facts referred to below is
undoubtedly the most reliable that can be OBJ
tanned here, stated in a conversation commend
ing the defence of our Hebrew fellow-citizens
by the Examiner, the following remarkable
facts :,
"I was Commonwealth Attorney of the city 'of
Richmond for twentyone years, and in that long in
most honoraby acquitted there being not par
cle of evidence to sustain the charges. During my
fourteen years of service as magistrate, only one
Jew before me for trial, and he was acquitted In
all that long interval do not remember having ever
received an application for public charity from any
of either sex or any age belonging to that
faith. And, SO far as am aware, no Jewish child
has ever received the benefits of our free schools
for which their parents without amurmur pay their
taxes
We should like to see comparison Of this
record with that of any of the denominations
represented by those yirtuous New York Insur-
ance Companies, whose dread of Hebrew dis
honesty is so great that they fear to take risks
on their houses and stocks.
We repeat, the remedy for the intolerance is
entirely in the hands of the Jewish people of
America. They can make themselves felt,
when thus imposed on, and they will.
The cause of their humblest brother is the
cause of the wealthiest and most honOred, and
the latter should protect the former.

LUXEMBOURG.

For the information of our readers we copy
the following description of this important mil.
itary place from late weIl-informed Eastern
paper. 1t says:
Luxembourg is to Germany what Gibraltar
is, or was, to the Mediterranean. It contains
fortress which is, in strength, second only to
that which guards the entrance to the Mediter-
ranean. A statistical work, speaking of this
fOrtihcatiOn, says "Carn0s declared Lux
embourg to be the strongest fortress in Europe
next to Gibraltar-the only point of attack
upon France from the direction of MossiIe 1t
is one of the principal fOrtresses of the Ger
man Confedracy, and is garrisoned by 5000
Prussian troops.
In the strength and position of the fortress
do we find explanation of the significance at
tached to the rumOr of the union of the prov
ince of Luxembourg to France
The duchy is part of a territory which has
experienced great number of vicissitudes
during the wars of Europe. Originally ruled
by German princes, it then became the proper
ty of the counts Of Limburg; then Burgundian,
afterwards Austrian then fell into the hands
of Spain; then was restored to Austria; and
a half century or so later, it was conquered
by France. In the general redistribution in
1916, it became member of the German Con-
federation; and in fifteen years after it was d.
vided between Belgium and Holland-the lat.
ter getting, at first, the fortress, and afterwards
sufficient territory to make a respectable
province.
This portion that united with Holland was
member, along with Holland, of the old Ger
man Confederation. This will account for its
occupation by Prussian forces. Territorially,
it is separated from Holland by Belgium and
hence, the former can very well spare it.
The cession of this small province to France
would be On occurrence of far more than or
binary Importance It is the rocky gateway
between France and Germany In the pos
session of France, it reverses these conditions
If Luxembourg becomes the property of
France, the active Bismarck will have received
very annoying check from the willy Napoiean.
1t will not be checkmate; it will not decide
the game which France and Russia appear I'd
be playing; but it will reverse the condition Of
the game as it has stood during the last few
months, and make it largely in favor of Napo-
loon. 1t will place Prussia very much in the
position of man who owns magnificent es-
tate, the principal entrance to which is held by
a not very friendly and a very Jealous. neigh
Dor who always keeps big dog to guard it, on
his own side.

GREATNESS.

The world viii judge as by ourselves,
Not by the rusted deeds of those
Whose bones feed grave-worms, and whose bio,
Through our dull generation flows.
The fame that our forefathers won
In field or senate hail. was theirs, 81
And theirs alone: it does not live
To gid the brows of idle heirs.
The laurels man would justly wear,
7. he first must win by noble deeds
In the broad field of circumstance,
Where earnest blow to blow succeeds.
ask the world for its applause
Because some ancestor was great,
is but the trick of brazen knaves
Who strut in plumes of stolen state.
No man is great who does not carve
His greatness on the front of time
With his own hand, and give the world
Some good in act or thought sublime
The heroes whose bright names Hume
The ages craved nor sought no trust
Upon the credit of the dead,
Nor traded on their fathers dust.
Far nobler is the mind that climbs
From low estate to useful power
Than his who claims descent from kings,
And idles on ancestral dover.
We scan the scroll of honored names,
The founders of eternal creedss
And read IN living letters there:
Mans worth is measured by his deeds.

CONDITION OF AFFAIRS IN ALABAMA.

The following letter appears in the Vermont
Journal It was written to resident OF
|Weathers6eld, in that State, by the Rev. De F.
Richards, formerly citizen of that place.
wilcox COUNTY, Ala, Feb. 10, 1867.
MY DEAR FRIEND: You inquire with regard 70
the political and social state OF things at the SOuth
and whether Northern men are safe mere can
speak more particularly of the State OF AiaDamas
where have resided large portion OF the time for
more than a year past l have travelled somewhat
during this time in the adjoining States
and have been thrown in company with men in almost
all conditions of society. am happy in being able
to say that have uniformly and without exception
been treated with respect and kindness. There is
large number of Northern men in the State of Ala
hama With many of them am personally acuuaint-
and have never seen or heard of instance where
a Northern man had been treated with violence, or
has been disturbed in the prosecution of his lawful
business say what know to be true when affirm
that Northern men are safe in Alabama they
in Massachusetts, in New York, and their rights
are safely guarded by the civil authorities. ALI re-
ports to the contrary false and slanderous, and
suited to disturb the peace of both sections of
the country, and prevent the restoration OF mutual
confidence and good will so necessary at this time
for the reconstruction of the late insurrectionary
States and the prosperity of the whole country.
This statement is corroborated by resolutions
passed few days since by the Legislature OF Ala
bama to which they invite immigration from the
Northern States and pledge the civil authority of the
State for the protection of all such come to engage
in lawful business and help develop the vast mineral
and agricultural resources of the State and share
with them the blessings and responsibilities OF their
commonwealth.
The civil courts take cognizance of all cases of
crime and misdemeanor, and punish such offences
according to law Crime is not more prevalent here
than at the North think not as much 50; and
freedmen are on an equality with white men before
the law. have known very few cases where colored
men have been treated with abuse or violence In
all such their rights have been maintained be-
fore the civil tribunal with as much justice and
as in the case of white men.
Truly yours J. DE f. RICHARDS.

u The Catholic Cemetery is
very much in need Of draining. The
large quantity of water which re-
mains over the place after heavy
rain, is absorbed into the earth to
such an extent as to render grave
digging very difficult, disagreeable
and repulsive operation. We saw a
grave on Sunday, which had been
freshly dug by the sexton, so filled
with water as to require much
trouble and loss Of time in bailing it
out with a bucket. Our Catholic
friends should see to this. A small
subscription taken up among the
friends Of those who are buried there,
and which would not be felt, would
furnish an aggregate sum sufficient
to remedy the evil.
