The RAMIE. tho report of the
Louisiana State Fair at New Orleans,
We find the following in regard to
this new plant:
"Quite number of persons have
been attracted to the machine for
cleansing Tor ginning) the ramie
plant-the substitute for cotton which
certain enterprising persons are en-
,deavoring to introduce among South
.ern agricnlturists. Apparently the
machine does its work we'll, leav-
ing the long, strong, silky fibres free
from dirt or particles Of the stalk.
Many questions are asked, and salts
factorily answered by the exhibitor,
who refers with pride to the growing
ramies on the Fair Grounds, which
are in hourishing condition, al
though planted but few weeks ago.
The ramie grows from slips or cut
+s.::nge,ss, aud tue roots viii last for five
years, yielding annual crops. It is
claimed that tests already made
prove that this can be made more
profitable crop than cottJn. 1t will,
d 'abtless, receive thorough test
from our planters"

FRED. DOUGLAS TO BIS PEoPLB.-In
o late speech at Akron, Ohio, Fred.
..Dou9las. addressing the cnlnred PEG
,ple. told them that the Government
+sraancipated the negroes as matter
,of policy. and not from any Chris
tian motive Of right or justice, and
that they had no more reason to be
thankful to the Government for their
: freedom than had the Hebrews to
feel thankful to Pharaoh for their de-
~liverance from bondage. Douglas
naid that although it was possible
that, naturally, the colored men were
equal to the whites, they we're not so
practically, and that they. must rise
through their own exertions to q
much higher degree of intelligence
before being allowed all the rights
land privileges of the white man. He
added, that they were now on proba-
Zion, and if fifteen years hence found
them as they now are. it would be
almost impossible for them to make
any advancement. Perhaps this ad-
vice from an intelligent colored man
may be received by his race as the
counsel of friend. It is certain
that the competition against which
they will have to contend for the
means of support, must increase, by
immigration, every year. whilst they
can rely on no such addition to their
, numbers, but must make up for the
inequality by. increased efficiency.
The ignorant and degraded, Of what
ever color, must always be subject to
superior intelligence, and it behooves
the colored people to reflect whether
those are their true friends who wonld
plunge them into politics without
previous preparation and training, or
those who would help to fit them, as
far as may be accomplished, for the
discharge hereafter of such duties as
may devolve upon them.

The tooth-treaty with the Feiees
is said to contain, among other pro-
visions, one that the President, on
his part. shall "agree to prevent the
rival Feiee King from levying war
against the legitimate sovereign dur
ing the continuance of the mortgage. I"
The question is, whether the Presi-
dent shall be permitted to exercise
this enormous influence over those
who may one day be our fellow-citi-
zens, aud whether there is not ground
fer Congress rather to intervene and
reconstruct the Fejee Islands.
Here is a bright idea-say for Mr..
Ashley. Let bill be made ready
to "secure a Republican form of
government" to the islands, as soon
rs the islands are annexed. The
New York Times suggests that Con-
gress will, of course, confer on the
.Fejees the right of suffrage.
