THE CELEBRATION By THE
FREEDMEN OF THEIR aE1kAN.

C11 N111ONs f-I.t.. ..ri ,.i..t. f.y
The day on which Abraham Lincoln
put forth his proclamation of emancipaI
tion was celebrated by the freedmen, Of
Columbia and this vicinity. There was
a meagre procession, q large crowd OF
the State House, and. We suppose, much
speaking.
We deem it very natural ihat the
freedmen should celebrate the day.
Freedom is sweet to the human soul,
whethtr that soul dwells beneath white
or black skin, and men love it whether
it means good or evil. They want it
this INSTRUMENTATION it is freedom Sto
work Or to idle-to live or 10 die. mo
Southern man, however much opposed,
to the party with which the freedmen
are generally connected, will begrudge
them the day they celebrate. We
heartily wish them well. If they deem
it good day for them, we believe, that
it was better day for the STAKEHOLDER.
We sincerely hope that their emancipa-
tion may prove advantageous-may make
them wiser, better and puref- --better
men and women-better citizens.
According to our view of the matter,
it was in accordance with the Divine
arrangement that African slavery came
and went. After it's mission-in many
respects beneficent to the colored peo-
ple-had been accomplished, the fat wai
put forth, and tho institution ceased its
existence. In the emancipation OF the
freedmen, we recognize the hand 'foi
God, and we accept the change az highly
advantageous in its ultimate results "a
that very class whose interests many
suppose have been affected thereby. /
Emancipation Day" comes, thetS
fore. with no regrets to us. And let thE
freedmen celebrate it-just so long q.
they please-just 80 long as it preserves
its significance. There is, however, one
thing to be regretted in connection with
the freedmen's celebration. y This is.tlls
character. OF the white speakers that thSy
generally get to address them on thebs
occasions. Far better would it be ifthb1
could. on Emancipation pey,nn hshl

the mere charlatan and demagogue In
terprets the day to the. assembled fre4d
men. But this is an evil that time ale o)hs
will cure. This, however, We may Will
say: the freedmen in this country are
not 80 strong but that it is not wise 10,
them to be modest in their oleims. i

such nation is possibility.
Nash was followed by Comptroller
General Neagle, who in his harangue of
twenty minutes duration, was particular
ly severe on the unreoonstructed of the
South, and intimated that the colored
people were the equals of the whites, in
every respect. Representative II. w.
Purvis, (colored,) then delivered sensi-
BILE address, which was we'll received. In
the evening, the procession reformed,
aud with blazing torches the participants
paid their respects to the different State

which ended in its destruction. Thus our
deliverance came. All the forces of God
worked for US. The prayers and expos

thunders of artillery; the burning of

A VERY IMPARTIAL MAN.

FTOf7l tne W \. IfflbS-
Mr.. Oliver johnson, a writer in that pc
culiarly religious" paper, the Independent,
testified on Thursday, on oath, that he con-
tributed one or two paragraphs to the Inde-
pendent on the subject of the Mcfarland case
few days after the shooting occurred. He
swore that those articles were not intended to
take any particular side. Now let us test this
statement.
In the IndependeRt of December there is
a long article full of denunciations of McFar-
land, and apologies for his wife and Richard
son. The shooting was spoken of as a
murder ''perpetrated in cold blood. 1t bears
all the deliberate evidences of malice afore-
thought. 1t was the fulflment of long
harbored revenge with much more to the
same effect. Is this what Mr.. johnson calls
'talSing neither side ~ TO most men it will
seem like pronouncing positive decision on
every important issue in the case.
The week following the assassination a
long paragraph appeared in the Independent,
in which Mr.. Richardson was described as a
''high-toned, honorable man, while of McFar-
land the writer said, che must be regarded
simply as a murderer, and should be dealt
with accordingly" Is this what Mr.. Oliver
johnson means by 'taking neither side?" In
the same article Mcfarland was called
'bloody- minded man, and yet Mr. Oliver
johnson states on his oath that he was
friend OF Mctarlands, and did not write to
prejudice the case. A letter of Mr.. Oliver
Johnson 8 was put in evidence, in which he
applied to Mrs. Mcfarland language which,
in Holy Writ, is used to describe the Re-
deemer of mankind. Is this what people ex-
pect from religious" writer, or from a
paper which wears the cloak of religion, and
under that disguise endeavors to do stroke
of business by putting off bubble specula-
tions?
Is it not clear from the above extracts that
Mr.. Oliver johnson, or the Independent, or
both, strove in every way before the present
trial began to PREJUDICE the case of McFar-
land, and to hunt him down at all costs? Said
the SIN the other day, eff the editor of the
Independent is anxious to get at the true and
honest sentiment of this community, let him
pin the name of his paper on the front of
his hat, and be about the court house" That
advice will not be taken during the present
trial

THE FUTURE OF RAILROADS.

From the N. Y. World
Governor Palmer, of Illinois, in letter to
the convention of farmers recently held at
Bloomington, in that State suggests a
method by which the carrying business of
railroads may be thrown open to the largest
competition, without detriment to the COM
pany, and to the great benefit of the pro-
ducer. This letter the Chicago Tribune
quotes, with extended and favorable COM
ment. The Governors plan is not new-in
fact it is identical with that advocated by the
late Luman Sherwood, who died in this city
little more than year ago. 1t may be
briefly stated thus: There is no necessary
connection between the ownership and man
agement of railroad and the business of a
common carrier, and the same principles may
be made to apply in its management which
regulate the business of the turnpike and the
canal. Railroad tracks may be converted
'into common highways upon which all COM
peting parties who choose may put and run
their rolling stock, at such prices as they
choose, paying the company for the use of
the road and the motive power, thus giving
rise to competition between the common
carriers on the same road, in addition to the
competition between the different roads.
Illustrations of this system are not want
ing. The various express companies and the
proprietors of sleeping and drawing room
cars put on their own stock and maintain it
at their own cost, paying the road only for
the use of the track and the locomotives. On
| the street railroads in some cities, and for
short distances at various points in this city,
! two or more companies run their cars on the
same track, thus creating competition,
greatly conducive to the comfort and conve-
nience of the travelling public. On some of
the railroads in Pennsylvania the merchants
doing business in the towns along the line
! have their own freight cars, which are
switched off en- to side tracks leading into
their warehouses The plan of the Illinois
Governor would give to this system the
broadest application, by compelling the rail-
roads to admit all freight cars and coaches on
terms equally ayorable-applying strictly the
principle of the common law now applicable
to turnpikes, ferries, etc.
The general adoption of this suggestion
would doubtless create an entire revolution
in the freightjng business of the country,
necessitating many minor changes in the
management of railroads. The most obvious
requirement would be a uniform rate of
speed for all trains, to prevent danger OF

hope they will do so now. There has been
an effort made to discourage them on the
foolish ground that for them TO vote will give
color to the charge that the managers are
encouraging "Womens Rights" We are
not ourselves ardent admirers Of the class
of ladies who have been prominent
agitators for what are misnamed "women's
rights" but we are heartily in favor
of giving each and every one Of the sex every
opportunity for acquiring an education that
makes her an independent, useful member OF
society, and positive, not mere negative ad-
vocate and agent of social reform and advance
ment. After all that is said, the real issue in
volved in this election is simply whether or
not women shall have a larger liberty TO do
good, and that they may be so far enfran-
chised ought to be the wish of every true man
and woman. There is little doubt that the
medical practitioners who oppose the admis-
sion of women to the clinics will take advan-
tage at the Philadelphia election Of the
votes of their children, and perhaps their
wives. Let the women and children who
favor the admission of women students see
that their votes are not uncounted on the
other side. And since they cannot vote by
proxy, let them be sure to attend the election
to-day.
We have examined with care two pamphlets
put forth anonymously in the interest of those
who oppose the admission of the women, and
have searched them in vain for plausible
argument. There are many misstatements Of
facts, evident to the most casual reader.
Beyond certain weak efforts at satire, in which
neither wit nor point is apparent, and great
deal of abuse of the Quaker gentlemen who
have long managed and largely supported the
Pennsylvania Hospital, we can find nothing
that deserves to be stated or is worthy of
reply. Very few of the large-minded persons
who were wise enough to direct their charity
to the noble purpose of supporting such an
institution as the Pennsylvania Hospital will
be deceived by the specious reasoning of these
pamphlets.
We published on Saturday second COM
munication from "a Mother on this subject.
1t is strong argument in favor of admitting
women to clinical lectures that, in time, their
presence will redeem those scenes from much
that is indecent and disgraceful. The ribaldry
and profanity on the part of male students,
and the display of heartlessness by the pro-
fessors, are often far more degrading than can
possibly be the exposure of the human form.
1t would be gross SANDER on our mems ma
ture to believe that the presence of women on
such occasions will not after time curb this
wanton and wicked spirit.
