\ WHITE Mans GOVERNMENTS -

A WHITE MAN's GovERNprENr.-
Tho sentiment that this is q white
mans country, to be governed by
white men, and that tho attempt to
subject the Southern whito people to
tho domination of the negroes is an
objectionable outrage, and is gaining
ground fast IN tho great Northwest.
Tho La Crosse Democrat, which has
an army of subscribers at it's back,
speaking of the declaration of tho
Conservatives in tho Virginia Con-
vontion that they would ncvcr submit
to negro rule, says:
"ln answer to so Il. farious and re.
Voting proposition, it is but natural
that there should come up from the
white men of tho South, in tones de-
noting tho last extremity of human
despair and agony, the cry
"NVo will die sooner than submit
to itp
"Ayc, and SO you ought. And
thousands upon thousands Of your own
white brethren in tho North will die
with you, sooner than this last dis
grace, this foulest wrong, this cruclest
torture, OF ak the inventions of all the
devll's own who arc lcagucd against
you, shall be inflicted upon you
"This issue must be met, and ot
once!
"lt admits Of no delay
"Iho' danger is Imminent!
"Thc duty is the most urgent which
ever summoned man to the field
"WuITE MEN, ARM .tNp TO TIE
REscUE!'
TIE lsr OF JUNE, NOT THE lsr cr
MAncu.-Thc Register in Bankruptcy
in the city of Richmond, in reply to
the inquiry by lawyer in Peters
burg, says:
"Your letter Of tic lst Of February
is to hand. [ have no doubt that the
clause requiring fifty per cent. of the
bankrupt's indebtedness to be paid
takes effect on the lst of June (lS6SN
and not the lst of March. ."-Pctcrs-
burg Enprcss
Tho question decided by tho Regis
ter has been much discussed among
the grand army Of bankrupts. 1t is
by no means certain, however, that The
Register is right in his decision. His
language, "I have no doubt" was in
tended, VIC imagine, to imply that
while he had no doubt upon the sub
ject, the question was controvcrtcd
one. 1t is desirable that it>should be
adjudicatod by some court whose dcci-
sion would carry some weight with it,.

IT'S PITY that the word 'Copperhead'
must continue current in this State for at
least another year. The Democratic par
ty at Augusta on Tuesday fell once more
into the hands of the men whose hostility
to the Government during the war caused
an indignant people to brand them with Il
name which they still deserve. The con-
vention was called to order by Paul 5.
Merrill who wrote the famous letter eX-
pressing the hope that Northern soldiers
would be welcomed to hospilable graves.
Two of the delegates to the New York
Convention, Madigan of Aroostoo& and
Gen. Anderson Of this city were as out
spoken in their opposition to the coercion
Of the South as any citizen of South Caro-
lima. OF Robert Elliot we have spoken
more at length before. Marcellus Emery,
editor of the Bangor Democrat. was placed
on the State Committee. Since 1851 when
the Democratic convention denounced
lincoln as aysurper and wien resolt-
ton to support the war so far as to nain-
tain the constitution of tn United States
was voted down. the party has not SO thor
ous lily disgraeed ITSELF Press.

Condition Of A rkansas.

A correspondent of the Chicago 7rfbuHe
writes from Little Rock:
1.-The negro is gradually settling down
into better habits OF industry than at first
when freedom was suddenly thrust upon
him. He is learning that freedom does
not mean license or laziness, but industry,
thrift. econo ~. progressive manhood.
But it is doubtless true that. for a long
time to come. years. aud perhaps gener;i-
tions. he will need the guiding hand of
the white man. lie seems to lack the
power to originate. to plan-he has fine
executive ability in the industrial world,
but lacks practical genius, and in this
practical genius, aud in this primitive con-
dition naturally looks o the white man.
His moral. soc al, indn stri.l ]. in a,word. all
his habits are improving. He is doing bet
ter wori; this year than last. and more OF
it-looks less to the Freedman's Bureau
for help than heretofore. and is becoming
more self-rel;ant. 1t may now &c regard
cd as fact pretty well settled that the
negro will prosper if properly treated
1.-The colorcd population OF Arkansas Is
about one third OF the whole population OF
the state. Before the war the aggregate
was something over five hundred thousand.
1t holds It's own since the war. The regis
tered colored vote was more than one
third. Some OF the whites were di>tran-
chised.
The laws already blocked out by the
legislator, ara good in themselves. and
Should give general satisfaction, an prob
ably will, when The people are farn!liarzcd
with their practical WORKINGS. the prin-
cipal dissatisfaction. however. comes from
that class who have held Office for Il long
time. and it is not to be expected that such
will feel sat SIZED
1.-The old legislation OF the state was
ruinoHs to every Interest of the state. c.
pecally the educational interests thereof
school funds aud school laads were wasted
Land grants sq,landered. Legislation
was 100 much in the hands of lawyers, and /
the people have got to think that any |
change woHld be an Improvement. The !
negroes understand pretty well how to voc /
for their own Interest; very few are led oil
or deceived in the matter of voting. The
democratic party expected to control the
late colored vo;e, but signally failed.
From all can learn. if the question OF |
returning the co!ored people 10 slavery |
were sub ni5ted to Il vote of the state. it |
would fail by an overwhelming maiority-
and this. doubtless. is the case generally |
throughout the South. Some politicians
would vote them back. but not the people.
The negroes would, perhaps. fl back ia
to idleness. if left TO them selves: the labors .
of the Bureau have been of incalculable |
good in this regard. :

LITTLE LOSES.
BY ELIZABETH AEBRs.

Who misses drop from the shower?
Who mourns a leaf lost from the treeE
Who weeps when the woods are in flower
If one broken blossom there beg
Then. dear one, why cling so to me!
The wind shakes the shining dew.spangles
Loose out of the grass tops at morn,
And brushes the silkenest tangles
From all the tossed locks OF the corn,
What time the first bird-songs are born.
And what heart deplores them? We only
Perceive that no longer they be;
And surely you can not be lonely.
Missing out of the world only ne:
The whole world is enough without me.
Who mOurns for the tiny brown sparrow
That dies in the thick orchard tree
Gods world has not yet grown so narrow
That it feels so small losses as these;
Your loss is still smaller-so peace
