Ibis bones, muscles, nerves and
f=fbres. The chimpanzee has not
much further: to progress to be-
come a negro, than the negro has
/ to become awhile man. This fact
science ineSorably demonstrates:
/. It is agreed, by all scientific men

American Indian has sixty-three
cubic inches; thesnative Australian
has ffty-six cubic inches" Sir
Charles Lyall, than whom there

the feet and hands, the, arms and
legs Of the white man and negro
are unlike in measurement The
hand of the negro is one-twelfth
Ilarger, and one-tenth broader, than

GeneraFBenjamin F, Butler said
To- me; eighteen months age; that
Falt the radical party wished was,
TO have "impartial l4suffrage:" He
said that we might declare that
no one should vote, unless he was
a graduate of the South Carolina
College. All that the radicals
then thought of was equality be-
tween the races. But now, they
are determined to have the negro
vote, in order to radicalize the
South. 7~-< =
In the negro convention which
sat the other day, in Columbia, it
was claimed that, in the next
Presidential election, there should
be placed on the radical ticket a
negro, either for President or Vice
President. It was contended, too,
that the lands should be divided
into small farms. so that each
head of a family might get a
homestead. If the landowners
refused this division: then their
lands should be taxed so heavily
as to force them to part with
them. There is considerable in
genuity in this scheme of confsca-
ton. The whites who vote for
convention, to avoid confscation
on the part of Congress, will find
themselves nicely caught by the
negroes in convention. AS [ have
already said, they will find that,
after sacrificing their honor, the
rights of the State, and the prin-
cipIes Of selfgovernment and con-
stitutional liberty, they have lost
their lands into the bargain. An
