making inquiry in regard to travelling
through Syria. He denied all claim to
the privileges Of citizen Of the United

to return, he said he had no wish to be-
come martyr, and should not return
until he could do SO in personal safot.r,
but no other country could be his home,
He said in reference to affairs, that rs
the war was over, and the eapreal to the
sword had been decided against those
with whom he had been associated, he
was wiling to shoulder his gun like any
other man in defense of his country.
He, however, spoke of matters here IN

What Has Been the Result ?
The Charleston Mercury makes {
statement which is striking commen
tary on the "civilizing influences
which have been brought 10 beer upon
the negro population of the Southern
States through the Freedmen's Bureau
and other appliances Of Northern ne
grophilists. Speaking OF the condition
Of affairs in South Carolira, the Mer-
cury says:
Before the war, there never was q
NOR, orderly and contented population
than the negro population in this State.
There was no military to keep them in
subsection. On our sca-coast and riv.
ers, thousands were ruled by hundreds,
with often years intervening without a
criminal court being convened to try
an offender. Thefts were rare; and the
higher classes of crimes scarcely ever
took place. On river, with which we
are acquainted, on which there were
some three thousand slaves cultivating
rice, single case Of murder occurred
and was tried in thirty years. On q
plantation having three hundred he
groes on it, only two fights occurred in
ten years. and these were between hus
bands and wives. We are satisfied,
that taking the State at large, South
Carolina compared favorably with any
State in the United States in her Grim
inal statistics. But what is the case
now? 1t is useless to cite instances
but unless the daily reports of crime in
our courts Of justice-and of our crow
ded jails-and of the murders, arsons,
robDeries on the highways, and bur-
glaries at night-are all myths, this
State never was inundated by such a
flood of crime since it was founded, two
centuries ago. We are satisfied that
we speak within bounds, when we as.
scrt that there have been more crimes
committed by the black population
since their emancipation, than in any
twenty years of the previous existence
ofthe State.

A Good Chance.

A negro in the Arkansas Convention
said the other day, "Give us the chance
of eighteen hundred years like the
white man. and we will show you what
We can do"
Upon which the Louisville Journal
observes:
"But the negroes have had the chance
not only for eighteen hundred years,
but all the years since Noah's food.
They have had that chance in their own
country where God planted them. In
Africa they have been unmolested by
the white race, after taking prisoners
from each other, to find market with
white traders instead of putting them
TO death. Let that Wanting Arkansas
negro point to Africa for exempliAca-
ton of what his race can 10, not only
in eighteen hundred years. but in q
great many additional centuries"
