MEN WHO HATE NEGROES.

Coming out of the street7cars the other
day, we noticed two or three gentcel, color
ed women sitting in one corner of the car,
and diagonally across the cara red-faced,
respectable loafer, of the dignity, probably,
iofa bartender. The .colored girls were the
objects of the supreme scorn of the ten
der. We are tolerably certain that our guess
at the profession of the gentleman was cor
rect, for meanness oozedi 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 a low GROCERY, where he doubt
less swore terribly at the. great changes OF
these times. "afl 7it4 rs . Ffk ga

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 one2button his hat is askew, his
clothes are good, but flap around him as
though they were hung on hun for ar, airing.
He swears at negroes, He knows them, he
owned them, he does not now. He is dis

tiers. He, too,a Skeleton, with uncombed
hair, filthy beard, long jaws, sun]zen eyes,
very near together, a forehead narrow and
low, Tobacco juice runs from each corner
of bis 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: lookiat this man.. He is the
victim of slavery, cursed with tenfold evils
by all of its terrible crimes. He is an i'm
bruted barbarian, and it will take four gen.
erations of decent culture to make a man of
such human beings. His coat is a seetly
huttcrnut, rudely patched. his pants the sha-
dow of ancient homespun. linsey wooisey,
his shirt past remedy, "the smallest hole in
it, the one lie 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, rs 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. Aslsoon as colored men rctaliateupon
this class, the better, perhaps, for both. =

The low, professional politician, who wants
an officefor the opportunity of.stealing, gen
orally hate negroes. It is all the merit hehas;
it is his stock in trade. We could point to
several negro hating government contractors,
who stole fortunes during the war, and serv-
ed the'enemy as well as they could. sS
The remarkably nice D. DIS, whose i'm
measurable learning was employed in prov
ing that Ham was the father of oil negroes,
and that st. Paul was a negro, hunter, are
included in the class of negro -haters. R
To these men all and singular, we send
the kindest greetings We wish them well;
we hope they enjoy the present state of
things. The whole crowd, with alltheir nu
mcrous relatives and friends, need the pity
of civilized men, sGa.lI- tglBS
They need education, and the Christian
religion; they must he taught to worship
the true God Some of them will need more
discipline suchas many have already passed,
but the prevalence of piety, intelligence and
good order will gradually destroy the influ
ence of Caste Refined and Christian people
