HEN WHO HATE NEGROES.

HEN WHO HATE NEGROES.
Coming out of the street-cars the other
day, we noticed two or three genteel, color
ed women sitting in one corner of the car
and diagonally across the Car red-faced,
respectable loafer, of the dignity, probably,
of bartender. The colored girls were the
objects of the supreme scorn of the bar ten
der. We are tolerably certain that our guess
at the profession of the gentleman was cor
rect, for meanness ooZed out OF every feature
of his face. When the girls arose to go out
the bartender cast unutterable glances at
them and then at the passengers, trying to
obtain sympathizing looks or words, but no
one paid any attention to his efforts and he
subsidized, disguised, and soon left the Car,
rushed into low groggery, where he doubt
these times.
That is one of the men afraid of negro
equality. Behold that lean, lank, cadaver-
Gus specimen of outraged humanity, six feet
and half high, with a tall stove pipe hat
towering over him His jacket is open be-
fore, except one button, his hat is askew, his
clothes are good, but flap around him as
though they were hung on HIM tor an airing.
He swears at negroes He knows them, he
owned them, he does not now. He is dis
gusted, and so are we. Lounging in a dirty
barrooIh is the other extreme of negro ha-
tiers. He, too, skeleton, with uncombed
hair, filthy beard, long jaws, sunken eyes,
very near together, a forehead narrow and
low. Tobacco juice runs from each corner
of his mouth he is looking at a vulgar car
feature of the negro in the La Crosse Demo-
crat, and laughing at the grotesque exhibi-
ton. Now look at this man. He is the
victim of slavery, cursed with tenfold evils
hy oil Of Eo 10
bruted barbarian, and it will take four gen
erations of decent culture to make man of
such human beings. His coat is a seedy
butternut, rudely patched, his pants the sha-
dow of ancient homespun linsey wooisey,
his shirt past remedy, the smallest hole in
it, the one he put his head through" yet
this sans cul0tte and heather hates niggers,
and would read the vile paper before him, if
he could-he is delighted with the pictures.
Laziness is the chronic sin of this class of
negro haters. Irish, as a class. hate negroes,
because they are competitors for mental
work, and because they delight to
kick those who can not shoot them in re-
turn. AS soon as colored men rctaliate upon
this class, the better, perhaps, for BOTH
Nothing civiliZes some men as quick as a
thorough beating.
The low, professional politician who wants
an office for the opportunity Of stealing, gen
orally hate negroes. 1t is all the merit he has
it is his stock in trade. We could point to
several negro hating government contractors,
who stole fortunes during the war, and serv-
eel the enemy as well as they could.
The remarkably nice d. DIS, whose i'm
measurable learning was employed in prov
ing that Ham was the father of all negroes,
and that st. Paul was negro hunter, are
included in the class of egro-hatcrs.
To oil md OH
the kindest greetings. We wish them we'll
we hope they enjoy the present state of
things. The whole crowd, with all their nu-
merOus relatives and friends, need the pity
of civilized men.
They need education, and the Christian
religion they must be taught to worship
the true God Some of them will need more
discipline such as many have already passed,
but the prevalence of piety, intelligence and
good order will gradually destroy the infiu
ence of CASTE Refined and Christian people
do not fear the encroachnents of the lowly,
but rejoice tn see any people struggling to
rise to higher plane Central AdOocate.
SHAD CULTURE.-A bill is now before
Congress making small appropriation in
aid of the experiment for the artificial
propagation of shad in the Potomac. We
trust it will be passed, and should be glad,
also, to see similar appropriations made for
the same purpose on the Delaware, Hudson,
Connecticut, and other rivers resorted to by
shad The experiments made by Seth Green,
the we'll known fsh-breeder, (who is now in
this city,) demonstrate the entire success and
economy of restocking our rivers with fish.
Fish of any variety can be artihcially bred in
any desirable quantity, and turned into the
streams where they are to grow. Man has in
measure control of these migratory fish,
and with suitable legislation can make their
enormous fecundity tributary to his support.
The economy of the artificial over the |
natural method is much greater than we had
supposed 1t is nearly as fifty to one
Every river can be stocked with fish, at
small cost. to the extreme limit of its capaci-
ty to nourish them. 1t will not cost so much |
to hatch million of shad in the waters of
the Potomac as it does to raise single calf
upon its banks. The finest varieties of fish |
ought to be the cheapest food in the market
and cannot fail to be, if the example of the |
New England States is followed in encourag-
ing artificial breeding. The experiments of
Mr.. Green in shad culture at South Hadley !
Falls, show First. The eggs need river
alter to hatch in. He first tried his ex-
pertinent in brook, where the water was
thirteen degrees too cold, and failed. Sec
ond. In the river, where the temerature was
about 70 degrees, the eggs Matched in sixty
hours Eggs have been Matched in a bottle,
in a warmer temperature, in forty-eight
hours. Third. By fitting his boxes, so as
to expose only the wire gauze bottom to the
current he Matched almost every egg, only
seven failing to hatch in one lot of 10000
Fourth. With the utmost care he could hatch |
on the natural river bed only two per cent
of the eggs-a fact most significant of the
enormous loss in the natural method.
