What is a Citixen2 And How are
COlOred Citizens Treated in
New Jersey
TRENTON, N. j., July 20, 1871.


TO the Editor Of the Ne,e National Era:
The original meaning of the term citizen is
derived from the Greek word todis, city !;
polls, the word itself, being ,odtgs. Politics,
a citizen-the inhabitant of city, State, or
government--one entitled to all the immuni.
ties, rights, and privileges in the government
in which he lives. He differs from an alien in
this respect, that citizenship is not accorded
to an alien, except by special enactment and
then by virtue of his allegiance. Citizenship
embraces all the burdens, duties, privileges,
immunities, and emoluments pertaining to the
government. Taxes, bearing of arms, and jury
duty are part of the burdens imposed. But,
in New Jersey, such is the respect they have
for the colored citizen, he is exempted from
jury duty, and that without his consent In
Greece and Rome, even slaves, when freed,
enjoyed all the rights and privileges of their
former owners as citizens To the honor OF
the State of New Jersey, she regulates the

In Cuba but a garbled form OF President
Grants message was published in the news

cans holding slaves in foreign countries was
omitted by order Of the censor. correspond.
ent writes $50 where you will on the island
of Cuba, visit the towns or plantations, and
Americans will be found who own slaves. Some
of the largest plantations in the island are
owned by Americans, who reside in the United
States. A Boston house owns three, New
York house FIVE, and Philadelphia house four
big plantations. If the names of some Of
these slave owners were published what q cry
would be raised in the upper tendon and IL tho
State Department would make but the slightest
inquiries, how il would be astonished on seeing
certain names as those of slave owners. The

be necessary to appoint a special commission,

March of the Deathless Dead.
ny FATHER RYAN.

The following beautiful poem was rccited nj
nah, Georgia, recently. on the occasion Of tho
re-interment of Confederate soldiers who fell
at Gettysburg;
Gather the sacred dust
OF the warriors tried and true,
Who bore the flag of our Nations trust,
And fell in n cause, though Lost, still Just,
And died for me and you.
Gather them one and all
From the Private to the Chief
Come they from hovel or princely hall,
They fell for us, and for them should fall
The tears of a Nations grief
Gather the corpses strewn
Der manga battle plain;
From many grave that lies so lone,
Without name and without stone,
Gather the Southern slain.
We care not whence they came,
Dear is their lfclcss clay
Whether unknown, or known TO fame,
Their cause and country still the same
They dicd--and wore the Groy.
Wherever the. brave have died,
They should not rest apart;
Living they struggled side hy side
Why should the hand Of death divide
A single heart from heart?
Gather their sacred clay,
Wherever it may.rest;
Just as they marched to the bloody fray
Just as they fell on the battle day
Bury them breast TO breast.
The foeman need not dread
This gathering Of the brave;
Without sword or flag and with soundless tread
We muster once more our deaihcss dead
Out Of each lonely grave.
The foeman need not frown,
They are all po@crless now
We gather them here, and We lay them down,
And tears and prayers are the only crown
We bring to wreathe each brow.
And the dead thus meet the dead,
While the living DER them weep,
And the men whom Lee and Stonewnll led,
And the hearts that once together blcd,
Together still shall sleep

feeding cows for milk und letf at the same
Time
In recent conversation with mn intelligent
turner, We learn tina, his practice Of infringing
his cows, especially the mrrow oncs in winter
was to feed for beef while they were giving
milk, In this way he thought he got pay in
milk for all II cost 10 Elticn the animals, Civ
ing him their increased value for profit For
instance, he hikes a tHriow COW in the fill or
early winter, and commences feeding her the
same as he would If she was intended only for
beet. This he keeps up through the winter,
and she not only puts ON fat, hut gives double
the milk that could he obtained on ordinary
Keeping. Not oulv does she give II good mess
but il is rich. The milk Is considered fully
equal IN value 10 the cost OF keeping tho
COW. Now mark the result Instead OF her
being thin and OF n very snmll selling value in
the spring, she Is ready for the butcher al the
very Time Of ear when beef generally brings
the highest prices.
1t occurred to us that this WAS worth mak-
ing Il note Of which we have accordingly
done. Is not Tie practice Of This mnn II good
one to adopt aud follow IL ceilninly seems
so. As great many farmers will be feeding
moro or less grim the coming winter, would
it not be II good plan 10 Try tho experiment Of
