1t Is all nonsense to say that it is neces-

And are there not other sides to that
question: To give an ignorant and bar
barous race the right to vote, In order
that they may, with it, protect them
selves, is to arm them with a power that
they can use and are sure 10 use to the

The Late Isaac O. Barnes.
a ia sfH PORTLAND, Dec. "a, 1867.

a ai +i PORTLAND, Dec. "a, 1867.
To the Editor of the Press: ssd .H
Sir,-The pleasant story in your issue of
this morning in relation to the late Hon. Isaac
o. Barnes will recall to the minds of many of
his brethren of the bar in Massachusetts,, his
witty advice to one of the lawyers in case
few years since. - .s.. --+esn e.- ar-ra
A ship had been burned at sea, and it form
ed part of the endeavor of L. the attorney
for the United States, to implicate the Captain
of the vessel, as the party that had set the
ship on fire. To effect this, he had been at
considerable expense, in sending to the West
Indies for some negroes as Witnesses
on board the ship at the time she was burnt,
whose testimony to some extent seemed to
support his theory of the guilt of the Captain.
The celebrated Choate defended the latter,
and after the evidence had been put in ascer-
tanned that these very negroes scaled by the
prosecution, had declared that the Captain
was the last to leave the vessel, and that he
cried like a child over her loss. Choate wish
ed to recall the negroes which the attorney
vehemently opposed. The former. however,
at no loss for a method, proceeded to adj
dress the iury-and laid great stress
upon this point-viz: what degree of
guilt could be supposed to attach to his
client, If it could be shown,- he believed ii
couLd-that he manifested such emotion over
the loss of his vessel. ..t
So much was made by the great pleader OF
this point, that the judge at length consented,
not greatly to the delight of the United
States Attorney, to allow the negroes to be re-,
called and the single question to be asked them
touching the demeanor of the Captain. Their
answer was given in accordance with Choate's
theory, and it is needless to say that the case
for the Government "went up" in a very short
time.
To the Attorney L., sitting cross and discon-
solate over his defeat Barnes comes, and ad-
dressed him with "Well, L., what do you think
OF your niggers?' s1g a'j hf 81.
81 think well enough of them" said l.. testl-
ly, "if Choate will only let them alone. .1
do you know said Barnes, in his highest
key, what Gineral Washington's last words
were?" ......
mo, don't" said L. "and don't want to. y
"Oh, WE'LL L., if you don't want to know, I
won't tell ye."
His curiosity overcoming his spleen, at
length L. said, We'll, Barnes, what was it?"

THERE are increasing indications that the
South American republics will before many
years, separate the church from the govern
ment. There is an extraordinary demand for
Protestant institutions. Already the Aineri-
can Tract Society is receiving requests for
publications in numbers greater than can be
supplied with present resources. In the cities
of Chill the public have ceased to enforce
laws against Protestant books. The Mayor of
Valparaiso refused to close Protestant chap
ell at the demand Of the Roman Catholics. In
buenos Ayres the government is establishing
sunday schools, and the Superintendent of
PUBIC instruction Is using his influence to
extend the sale of Protestant publications.
There is a wide demand for them, although
the tendency OF the people is not toward
Professionalism, but to infideltyoutright. The
same state of things exists Peru and New
