Toe Camilla riot, properly understood,
will exhibit to the Northern people much
more clearly than thousand speeches
could, the erdct reason why the Southern
tohiteS are, at present, unwil ing TO extend
universal, indiscrminats slfitage to the
negroes. II is because they eau be taken
pos session of by very few bad white men
seeking Office at their hands, and made ter
rors to society, aud destrGyers of safety for
families. Many of the more intelligent I'M
derstand aud repudate these influences,
but the greater number do not.

THE Fortunes OF PREsIpExTs.-Some
one has collected Information 10 regard to
the fortunes left by the dead and living tx.
Presidents. We learn that Jefferson died
poor. Indeed il Congress had not purchased
his library, giving him FIVE times its value,
he would with difficulty have kept the wolf
from his door. Madison saved his money
and was comparatively rich. To add to
his fortune, however, or rather that OF his
widow, Congress purchased his manuscript
papers and paid him $4,000 for them.
James MoGroe, the Xth President of the
United States, died SO poor that his remains
fund resting place through the charity
of ms friends. They remain in cemetery,
but 10 monument marks the spot where
they repoSe. John Quincy Adams left
some $50, 900, the result of industry, pru-
dence ana Inheritance. He was man of
method aud economy. Martin Van Buren,
died rich Throughout his life he studOusly
luokeed out for his own interest. James
X. Polk left about $3.50 900; $50, 90 of which
was from his Presidency OF four years.
John Tyler left $4,000. Before he was
President he was bankrupt. 10 office ho
huSbanded his means, aud then married a
rich wife. Ztchariah Tayloc left 100000.
Willard Fillmore is a wealthy nun. Frank
lin Pierce saved $50 900 from his term of
service. James Buchanan was bachelor,
aud saved all he got, which was estimated
to DC at least 5000, 900
