Mr.. Bright also made speech before his re-elec-
ton at Birmingham, In which he explained that he
had declined his first appointment as Secretary for

ton Of the government.

The news that comes to us almost daily
whites and negroes shows an unpromising
state of things. It indicates, indeed, con-
hict in the future between the two races as
irrepressible as that which existed between
the North and South on the subject Of slavery.
The reports published in the HERALD on Sun
day of white man being shot by q negro
in the Mayors Court at Charlotte, N. c., and
OF the horrible outrages by the colored militia
in Arkansas are only two cases out of numer-
GUS ones of similar character occurring all
over the South. And what IL the cause2
Radicalism. Northern carpet-bag radicals,
with few radical Southern scalawags, make
the deluded negroes their tools and bring
about these conflicts. The mass of the South
ern whites everywhere desire peace and to
live in harmony with the negroes under the
new order Of things. They are aware that their
own welfare depends upon this, as well as
that Of the colored folks, and strain every
nerve to maintain friendly relations with the
negroes; but the radical firebrands will not
permit that If these conflicts continue they
will assuredly inaugurate q general war Of
races, and in that case the negroes must 20 to
the wall. Blood is thicker than water, and
the whites will rally together against the
blacks. In such a war the sympathy Of the
white people of the North, too, must be with
their own race. The pretended radical friends
of the negro are really his worst enemy and
are preparing the way for the extinguishment
of his race in this country.
FARRAeUT's CHRISTMAS GIFT.-It would be
handsome thing for the gentlemen who pro-
pose to give Farragut dinner to give him

batteries We understand the old hero IL very
fond Of this picture, and took almost az zach
interest in 1t as the painter himself, furnishing
many hint during it, --...lng TO help out the
truth in details He ought 10 own II, In order
