LAST NEWS OF THE
"~EVERLASTING NIGER"

An unusual number of Englishmen
have visited the United States in the pre-
sent year, and those of them who have
been in the South have returned with
gloomy views as to the prospects of the
Negro race. These views have in due
course filtered through the circles to which
the travellers belong, and have appeared
here and there in print, until it is not too
much TO say that the great majority Of
educated Eng ishmen believe that eman-
cipation has been a failure, industrially
and socially (; that the Negro is rapidly
going back into idleness, paganism, and
promiscuous concubinage; and, as the
Copperheads were SO fond of prophesying
in the last years of the war, will rapidly
rot out and disappear. This process, it
is often supposed, is only prolonged by
the action of the Freedmen's Bureau,
which bias thrown the military protection
of the Central Government round the
emancipated race, and in many districts,
has not only guarded, but fed them at the
public expense. Now, we cannot doubt
that there must be still much that is dis
heartening and offensive in the condition
" ZIG iIOEOI1tu dt AK SOtCidL otdLlOuS
along the ordinary routes of travel, or in
telligent and liberal Englishmen would
not have brought back such impressions,
even as the result of a hurried six weeks
run through the States. We are equally
sure, however, that the a"scertained and
proved facts bear precisely in the contrary
direction, as we can easily show.
In the first place, The original Freed
mems Bureau no longer exists. On the
1st Of January Of this year, the old Mill
tary Bureau was withdrawn from the
several Southern Statesin which it had
acted up to that time, and its operations
were discontinued. This was done by
the Act of Congress passed on the 25th of
July 1868 (chap. 245l, under which three

general expenses. Our cousins do these
things with a vigour which almost takes
away the breath of US, jewellers in an old
country, worshippers of vested rights ; a
dash of envy mingles perforce with our
astonishment when we see the great Blu
reau disestabIished out of hand, and then
look at home, and remember the floods of
abuse which have greeted the exceedingly
modest doings of our own Government,
ip the ~aQckyards and elsewhere, during
the present year. THIS ''Djsccntinuance
Bill' originated, in the first instance, with
9the Senate, and was. one of tl.ose which
were vetoed by President Johnson, and
passed over his veto by majotitits Of two
thirds of the Senate and House of Repre-
sentativeS. But while the Bureau thus
ceased to exist 10 its old form, the educa-
tional department was specially exempted
from the operation Of the Act, and con-
tinued temporarily under General Howard
as Commissioner, and Mr.. j. w. Alvord
as General Superintendent of Schools,
Bureau Refugees, Freedmen, aud Adam
doned Lands" The Report of the latter
gentleman to his chief for the h%alfyear
ending July l, 1869, has Just been pub
lished in the usual course, under the au-
thority of the Wa Department at Was
hington, and is contents are very note
worthy, and entirely dispose of the po-
pular "rotting-out" view.
The Superintendent prefaces his Re
port by admitting that great difficulties
had still TO be overcome in the Southern
States. The violent agitation on the sub
iect of reconstruction, combined with the
fierce prejudices of the whites, and the
want ofmeans, had done much to Illustrate
the educational work of the Bureau. But
even in these respects the stale of things
was mending everywhere, indeed he goes
so far as TO say that ''organized opposition
appears 10 have mainly ceased, and favour
towards schools for all is, in most States,
publicly protested" On the other hand,
the intense desire for education amongst
the freedmen, which surprised even the
warmest abolitionists in 1865, does not
in the least abate. The General Super
intendent says that the desire for the
higher branches of knowledge is stronger
than ever, and that productive industry
is now furnishing them with the means
of paying for tuition, and all OF their col
our who in our normal schools have been
prepared to teach enter with a~lacrity on
the work and pursue it with success"
Turning to the statistics, which are given
in great detail, we find that there are
1914 schools regularly reported, taught
by 1909 teachers, and attended regularly
by 204,253 pupils, of whom 1872 ,227 were
slaves when the war broke out. Ofschools

talned. These fgureS show an increase
over the corresponding half-year of 1868
of no less than 444 schools, $50 teachers,
aud 16,407 pupils. The increase of zeal
on the part of the freedmen is even more
remarkable. 10 the six months 1886 of
the pupils paid 106, 500 dolls. 10 cents. for
tuition the average attendance of pupils
has been rs per cent. of the whole number
enrolled while the freedmen sustain
wholly 292 of these schools, and in part
1899. more, and are the absolute owners
of 759 of the school buildings. In the
last matter they have fairly beaten the
Bureau, which has found only 722 schools.
At the head Of The normal or high schools.
of which there are 25, is Howard Univer-
silly, in the district Of Columbia, in which
there~wrre 172 pupils al the end of the
FIRST year, of whom 81 were studying law,
aud paying 40 dolls. a year for their, fees.
There are about 1000 scholars in the re-
naming high schools.
We wish that we could spare room for
some of the very interesting details Of the
Reports from particular States, but enough
has been quoted probably to prove, that
the negro is not going to fulfil the pro-
phecies of his candid friends, or avowed
enemies, and, we should imagine, TO make
the mouths of the Council Of our Educa-
tlohLeague water at their corners. 1t is
pleasant to be able to add that England
has borne a creditable part in this good
work. AS long back as 1862, a fund was.
raised here for the education of the freed
men, chiefly by the exertions of Mr.. Ar
thur Albright, and since that time con-
siderably more than half-a-milIion dollars
have been transmitted to the United Sta
ties. During the past year upwards of
$4,000 dolls. have been paid over from the
English fund, and we find from the report
that no less than thirty-eight training
schools, containing 1854 pupils, aud dis
tributed over twelve Of the Southern Sta
ties, have been entirely supported by this
fund. The General Superintendent re-
ports that the most advanced pupils will
shortly be able to supply the great want
OF teachers In many of the freedmen's
schools. The thanks of the freedmen and
of the Bureau are cordially rendered to
the kind friends in the old country s'for.
this timely and judicious help, and we
must add our own thanks to Mr.. Albright
and his friends for their unostentatious
and well-timed llberality.
The Report also gives details respecting
the Freedmen's Savings Bank, which are
as remarkable as those already cited.
This bank has now 25 branches, in which
the deposits range from 1868 dolls. at
Chattanooga, up to 98,787 dolls. at Char
lesion and 148,249 dolls. at Washington.
