The Neqro-His Status, dc. BY CARTEL
Cincinnati 1867.

The Negr0-HtS StdtaS, @c' by AHihh'
Cincinnati 1867.
This publication has attracted more
notice than it deserves, by reason OF the
nolitical interest which just now belongs
to its subject. 1t is an appeal to prejudice
which may achieve temporary notoriety,
but can produce no lasting effect upon
readers of ordinary understanding and re-
Election. The 0ippant contempt with
which the author speaks of the opinions
of other men whom he derides as g the
learned" and his parade Of his own dis
coveries in biblical research, "concur-
rent" (meaning perhaps "contempora-
neous ~ history, and the development Of
mummies, remind one of the 'quackSalver
and his trumpeter at 4 fair or market de-
nouncing all other doctors, and extolling
the miraculous and infallible virtues of his
own pills and powders. This impression
is confirmed by his language and style
for it is impossible to believe that one who
betrays such ignorance of English gram
mar, and of the meaning of English words,
can possess the acquaintance he seems to
boast of with ancient tongues-still less
that he can be capable of correcting the
mistakes of his predecessors in such STU
dies. Moreover, there are passages which
might tempt us to imagine the whole per-
Torrance only a burlesque; but, taking it
altogether, he appears to assert his dogmas
as if he really believed them.
To review such q production would be
waste of time. The theme, which is in-
llicted on the reader in many repctitions
and inyolutions, is simply this: That the
negro is not descendant of HAN, nor of
NOAH, nor of ADAM and Eve; that he was
beast, and as such went, into and came
out of the ark that he was the beast
called the serpent, by which Eve was
tempted in Paradise; and that where it is
said that the sons Of God took to them
selves wives among the daughters Of men,
to the displeasure of the Almighty, the
true meaning is that the descendants Of
ADAM took wives from among the daugh-
ters of this beast.
We leave these matters to be discussed
by those who may be of opinion that it is
worth while, and who have the learning
necessary for the task. The question, to
our mind, is not whether the genealogy of
the negro can be traced to this or that an
cestor, or to any ancestor at all ); but it is
whether, as he now exists upon the earth,
be is man, belonging to the human race
or races-or whether he is, as asserted by
ARIEL" one of the brute creation and a
beast.
This is obviously question of physi-
ology in its widest sense. It's solution

The Vote on the Subscription

The polls in tho three wards were closed
last night with very satisfactory result.
The subscription of 81, 100000 to the per
cent, preferred stock Of the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad is so effectually settled
that there can be no further objection to
its validity. The people Of Richmond have
evidently adopted the most decided OPT
mons in favor Of the great route to the
Ohio, and arc not going to change front
upon the subject. They will not rest until
the work is finished we are sure. The
vote was not enlarged much yesterday
the conclusion being that the question had
been already settled. The aggregates are
as follows

al do not mean TO assert that all individuals
and all tribes Of dark cOt0red men are inferior
in moral and intellectual endowments TO all
those of the white division. The same grada-
lions and notifications Of structure and pro-
pertes exist here as i'll other parts. Certainly
we can produce examples enough In Europe OF
beings not superior TO Hottentots and New
Hollauders and individuals OF considerable
talents and knowledge are met with In savage
tribes. There may not be much difference be-
tween the lowest European community and
the highest in some dark variety of man.
Examples Of Individuals and Of small numbers
will therefore prove little in this matter.
Il am aware also that all The white races
have not made those signal advances in know
ledge and civilization of which l have spoken
as indicating their superior endoWmentS Is.
Their organization makes them capable of
such diStinc lions, if circumstances are favor
able, or rather if no obstacles exist. IN III
durk races, on the contrary, inferior organisation
renders cain to present opportunities o. to re-
more difficulties"
We believe that the foregoing views
present the truth, in regard to the status
of the negro in the scale of humanity; his
capacities, and his defects. We find them
to correspond with all that we have OBJ
served and all that we know Of the race SO
lately set free in these States. We think
that they fully sustain and justify us in
our opposition to the measures which
would invest him with political power, or
entrust him with the duties Of govern
mental least, until there shall be such
proof of his fitness for such employment as
the world has not yet seen.
But we think that the southern people
and the southern press owe it to them
selves and to the world-to their selfre-
spect and to their reputation for intelli-
gence and humanity--to repudiate and
disown such weak and false pretences as
those which have been put forth by
GO Ariel" Such allies impair, instead of
adding to, our strength
