THE FREEDMAN " AS a PAGAN.


Three centuries of civilization and
Christianity have not, we fear, eradi-
Gated the filthy paganism of the native
African from the American regro. The
evidence is coming TO US from all quar-
tiers that in the shape OF voodoism,"
"setischism - o= some other form of su-
perstitious disbolism, the emancipated
negroes are forsaking christianity and
devoting themselves to the worship OF
the devil. The Georgia and Mississippi
papers TEEN with statements showing
that in many localities the negroes "are
afflicted with the most absurd pagan su-
perstitions1 This is the ease, where they
have discarded their old white clergymen
and replaced them with those grotesque
mum -bo- -gum-bO ranters and negro ex-
horters to whose disconnected fanfanOr-
ades all of us have listened in our youth
/ ful days.
The Rev. C. X. Marshall reports the
( negroes in Mississippi as fast relapsing
/ into pagan ism, and the Galveston BaL-
/ Lctin mentions instances Of freedmen
practicing, in many portions of Texas,
| sorcery, witchcraft, and the most absurd
1 religious mummeTiea.
E" Medicine men in that state have
taken the place Of negro physicians in
the confidence Of negro patients and
they rely upon the curative powers Of
chicken feathers, old bones, snake skins
etc, etc.
Alta recent meeting Of the Methodist
conference for Texas, the bishop stated
that in travelling lately through Howard
county, in that state, he fOIlnd religious
organization among the negroes, calling
themselves the "Angel trand,n a very
paganist concern. Nearly year ago ont

FRANKFORT, February l2.-No riot e.

American, French and Italian flags were
displayed. The bands played Yankee

and " Garibaldi Hymns" The prince OF
Wales and Prince Alfred observed the
display from the United Service

no cheers. A superb oration
was delivered at the American en-
bassy. The procession held an immense
meeting at the Agricultural hall, aboI.
thirty thousand persons being present,
Resolutions were passed denouucing the

PERrLs OF EASTERN "DRunMERs.'


The Boston Commercial bulletin de-
scribes the perils of eastern drum
mers ~ in Illinois, as follows:
The stagnation OF trade has been Sc
verely felt by all business men, and even
that enterprising class of our fellow
creatures known as drummers," or
travelling statesmen, despite their almost
| inexhaustible invention and resources,
have been obliged occasionally to yield
| to the pressure of the times.
One of these gentlemen, who has re-

rmrnEcoNsrRuCTIoN DEnATE

From the National InteLlgencer.I
The great question of reconstruction
was further discussed In the house yes
terday, and the ultraists were decidedly
foiled in their purposes. Mr.. Stevens
had announced his intention to close the
debate at two O'clock, but the hour was
allowed to glide by in a succession oI
animated speeches. Mr.. Shankhni OF
Kentucky, holding the floor from the
evening previous, made strong argu-
ment against the bill, and was followed
in succession by Messrs. Thayer, Hard
ing. ShelIsbarger, HOtohklss, GriswOld,
RAYMOND and GARFIELD. At the close Of
Mr.. Garfield's remarks, Mr.. Ste
vens, having previously notified the
chair, demanded the previous ques-
ton, amidst the manifest interest
of the entire body. Several gentle
men appealed to him not to press the de-
mand. Gen. Banks got his permission
to make q suggestion, and, amid pro-
found silence, urged the gentleman from
Pennsylvania to permit the debate to go
on, because he believed that if protracted
for a day or two it would be possible for
| the house to come to such an under
| standing as would harmonic the coun-
/ try, and perhaps secure the cooperation
/ Of the president of the United States or,
/ at least, if not, unite the public Judgment
/ so strongly against him as to compel a
withdrawal of all opposition on his part.
As we have said, the suggestion was
heard in profound quiet, almost every
member on his feet. He was followed by
/ Mr.. Eldridge, of Wisconsin, from the other
side, who appealed to the gentleman
( from PENNSYLVANIA to allow the demo
crats, who wished to go on the record in
/ nrotest against the bill-which was
bound to pass, he apprehended-th poor
boon of being heard. The veteran
81 leader OF the house - heard each appeal
erect, impassive, save when derlsiye
smile fitted over his sardOnic features al
the allusiOn to the cooperation of the
president The membes 1Agere clustered
around and near him. many with ap
pealing looks. His tones were slightly
sarcastic as he referred to the secret ne
Ootiations of which the gentleman from
Massachusetts, had the advantage
which, not having, he could no
act upon but they grew bite
as, declining the request of Mr.. Eldrldge
he said he was not so sure of the passage
of fine bill. and was keenly sarcastic
when commenting on the decentralization

the former civil bill, which was sent t.
