FREEDMAN'S SAVINGS BANK.

Among the great advantages springine
from the establishment of the Freedmen
Bureau, none ecEpses the establishment
OF the Freedmen's Savings Bank. It is
Nh institution which gives colored men
who know how to do business the chance
to be useful; it is good school for worthy,
but inexperienced colored men to learn
something of fnanciering; while on the
other hand it helps to form the habit
among the poor of our race to lay by
something for "a rainy day. When col
ored men begin to save part Of the mon
ey they make, they not only benefit
themselves, but they teach commenda-
bic lesson to others among us and this
is but small part of the advantage, for
the power of knowledge is scarcely less
kingly, than the power of money. When
man keeps an account at the bank, each
member OF the community soon finds out
the fact, and it increases mis- respect for the
.depositor accordingly but the best of all
is the fact that man at once begins to
respect himself We call attention to the
branch of this institution in this city, of
which Mr.. Sturtevant is Cashier. He is
gentleman competent, trustworthy and
public spirited. Let our people heed the
lessons taught by the irish who know the
force of the old adage that if you stake
care of the cents, the dollars will take
care of themselves"

rights in the cars and elsewhere. When
. fair daughter of the white race has to
carry her prejadices in her feet and walk
mile or two in devotion to them, rather
than ride with q negro, the negro may
sit and grin out the vengeance of an in
jured victim with the consciousness that it
will not be long till he will have his white
sister for companion. When once the
curly head of negro pops with exultant
right into the door of street car, preju-
dices must yield, or else the interests, the
smusements and the devotion which
await at the end of the journey, must all
be relinquished by our fair sisters, who
are mainly dependent on. railroad loco
motion.

PRIESTLY DOMINATION FALLING.
negro race

Dollinger has enlisted on his side the
King, courtiers, professors and students
against the opinions and power of the
Pope and the Roman hierarchy.
He has not, like Luther, retaliated
upon the Pope by answering excommu-
nication with accommodation; but he
has appealed from mere ecclesiastical au-
thority to human reason. The experience
of the world has proven that the Church
Of Rome has sancti6ed authority even
more than it has furthered the interests
of religion; and when q man like Dol
inger, whoseripe scholarship and stainless
character, invokes the common sense of
mankind against the mummeries of ritu-
alism and the blind obedience of Rome's
adheronts, the beginning Of the end is
near.

MILITARY BrouAc.-A rumor prevails
that one of the Divisions of the Louisi-
ana Militia, we believe Col. Ingraham's,
will in q few days march with their arms
to the City Park. aud encamp for two or
three days. The objects and motives Of
this military display We can and do
thoroughly appreciate; and it is on &C.
count of this sympathy with the move,
that we suggest a precautionary observ-
ance, leave your arms at home, Colonel;
and leave your gallant corps free to the
hilarity and enjoyments of the occasion
unencumbered by care for arms, and
deprive even your fine men of the facility
Of an appeal to the pile in a moment Of
some obstreperous display of martial
spirit. Nrrbum sap.

LEGAL BUBBLES.

The statement is made that the Su-
preme Court of Louisiana has formerly
recognized the seal OF the Supreme Court
Of the District Of Columbia by admitting
those bearing its credentials, to the bar
here.
If this be 80, how shall we explain the
refusal of the Supreme Court here to adj
init Messrs. Shadd and Bell to its privi-
leges? Is it likely that men who have
prepared themselves by study, secured
the best credentials, and gone to the ex-
pense of settling in new home, who
have been, at one stroke of technically,
defeated of all their expectations in the
line of their professions will love their
contemners =? Messrs Bell and Shadd
are gentlemen who graduated with hon
ors, were admitted to practice without
opposition, and came into the State with
good regulations, and yet the means of a
livelihood are snatched from them upon
mere legal bubbles, yet everybody
knows the prefense of disqualification
covers the dastardly feeling of negro hate
and endorses the vile habit of Southern
prescription of the negro. in the very
face of four-score of legislators of the
negro race.

COURAGE AND COWARDICE.

This paragraph is Interesting as sug-
costing contrast:
"The Couier-Jou'mal( Ky. to-day pub
fishes lengthy decision by Judge W. H.
Cofer, of the Judicial District Court CT
this State, instructing the grand jury to
admit negro testimony in their investiga-
tions. Judge Golfer decides that the neg
roes are citizens, and the right to testify is
necessary for their protection in the enjoy
ment of their rights guaranteed by the
Constitution of the United States to citiz-
ems, and that State Judge is bound by the
clause of the State constitution prescri-
bling the oath of office upholding the Con-
stitution of the United States as the su-
preme law of the land. Judge Cofer was
Provost Marshal General of Joseph E.
Johnson's army, Of the late Confederate
States"
The contrast we refer. to is this;
that white men who like General JAIME 6
Longstreet, Judge Golfer and Gener
al Alcorn fought bravely for Confeder-
ate independence, have honestly accepted
reconstruction legislation those men
who were too cowardly to fight for indie
tendance, ore still bowling from their
home-kepnels against tyranny, which if
it existed as they allege, would do some
compromising good for its existence by
crushing such men out as disturbers.
This is not, however, q new lesson. The
cruelest STAKEHOLDER was always the most
craven, and the best master was he,
whose force of will united the two char
ac;eristics of nobleness- consciousness
for his interiors, and modesty among his
equals. The men who are following
their former victims with the stealth and
vindictivepess of the indian. are identic-
al with the white class of the old regime
who squatted on plantations, or loafed
about villages. and with equal facility
supplied slave with poison in the name
Of whiskey, or caughtja alave when he
run away.
But no evil il without its good the

our leading gentlemen have a promising
scheme on foot. It is to erect q fine

a Masonic Lodge Room. Every indica-
ton that we learn of, points towards the
successful carrying out of this worthy

and aid, if necessary. from the real friends
of humanity and progress in their efforts
to "help themselves"

THE NEGRO TRIUMPH.

LOUISVILLE, May 13.-At meeting of
the street railroad managers held to-day
they agreed that it was useless to try to
resist or evade the enforcement by the
United States authorities of the right
claimed by the negroes to ride in the
street cars. The negroes having refused
the offer of special cars and determined
to insist on riding with the whites it was
decided best to avoid serious collision by
opening the cars to them. It is likely no
mrther trouble will occur beyond occa-
s!onal collisions with roughs."
The facts above stated show that in
terest is at last becoming in the South
what it is in all free society-the touch
stone of political action. These railroad
managers of Louisville have awakened to
the fact that they cannot nurse their own
prejudices and foster the senseless pro-
scriptions of community without rum
ming their cars at loss. These men
are doubtless as true Southerners as
those who desire to enjoy the luxury of
appropriating an enterprise they have
never paid cent to establish and who
therefore, should be satisfied with receiv-
ing, by their ride in the cars, an equi-
valent for their fare without attempting
to cheat the company out of other
peoples fare because these other people
happen to be colored The senselessness
of these pr descriptions as well as their
inconsistency, is shown by the well known
fact that the most beautiful and accom-
plished white women will sit in Siamese
closeness to the blacklist African to be
found in the land, if the African happens
to be her nurse or her footman; but as
soon as colored person is known not to
belong to the service of any passenger
riding, all sorts Of odors exhale from the
imagination of the fair caucasian and al
sorts Of tends revel among the negro's
features And yet we know that necessity
is q great teacher in these mattera It is
wonderful to see how quickly acquiesccnce
follows legal decisions in favor Of equal

THE EXTINCTION OF THE NEGRO

1t has been a favorite theory with those
whose ''wish was father. to the thought, y
that the negro must die out in the Unit
ed States.
Climatic influences were intimated
physiological and anatomical doctrines
were propounded, and statistical columns
marshalled with the skill of prophets,
who were determined to fulfil their own
prophecy, whenever the negro's right to
residence on this continent was dis
cussed. Even the odious necessities and
consequences OF slavery itself were in
voked to prove that Providence had made
a mistake in permitting the negro to be-
come free; but just here is where the
curious phrase of the theory comes in /:
Providence was all right while the negro
groaned under the shareholders lash, but
the negro with ballot in his hand was
too adverse an illustration of pro-slavery
arguments to be accepted as providential.
And so his enemies and detractors take
refuge in the labyrinths of ethnology,
simply because they have been denied all
shelter under the sanctions of religion,
and been scourged from the pathway of
common sense by historical severity
they are not likely to survive. Here is
lroof on our side: The Commissioner
of the Census Bureau officially reports
that the returns of the Census Office, with
only four counties incomplete, and these
estimated, show co.ored population in
in all the States and Territories of 1857
600, gain of 9 35-10O per cent. since
1850.
It will be admitted on all bands that
this report shows large gain, especially
if the unfavorable circumstances under
which the gain took place, ARE considered.
The New Orleans Times, pro-slavery
organ admits that even at present "the
mortuary statistics which we furnished
prove exclusively (??) one of two things
either that freedom is fearfully fatal to
negro life, or that the census returns, as
to the numbers of our negro inhabitants,
are grossly inaccurate. The death rates
among the negroes of our city, even when
full allowances are made for the results
of rccklessness, improvidence and loose
habits, indicate a much larger population
than 50,4S2, which are the figures furn-
ished as correct by the Census Bureau"
How great, then, must have been the
rate of mortality among negroes when
they were killed or starved by thousands
Immediately upon tie close OF the war. A
people who show such a heavy death rate
as the Times claims we do, and which
still have multiplied to the extent of one
fifth of their number at the beginning of
the last decade, do not exhibit any very
fatal effects of their possession of free
dom.

GRUMBLERS.

Some men become great martyrs
through the mere power oftheir imagina-
ton, and they are often at once the chief
grumblers, and the chief idlers. They
may be DESTROYS of engaging in some
kind Of business, or of gaining position
it does not matter which; they keep them
selves in happy state of preparedness,
for anything that may turn up"
They have patiently soaited for some op-
portunity, with disposition of ease
which, if it did not make them seek it,
rendered them willing to accept it when
itcame. But some one else comes along
with perhaps superior enthusiastically
with different methods, and goes to
work and establishes himself, and before
any one has scarcely noticed him, he is
settled in business or has gained some
position Of trust and infuence,-takes his
place in society and renders himself at
home. Yet when this is done the grum-
bier looks around and seeing that some
one else has succeeded Immediately be-
comes possessed with the idea that he is
injured. He is thoroughly convinced
that a foreign favorite has cheated q
native out of his jost deserts ; and at
once the colored grumbler is recruited
into the ranks of white anti-carpet-
baggers. The accession to the commu-
nifty of men of ability, reputation and
capital, are all lost sight of under the
suggestions of a jealous belief that sue
cess, enterprise and honors are nothing
when imported, and that they are useless
when they do not happen" to the
grumbler.
1t is in exact keeping with such dis
position not to see that successful natives,
are forced to the acceptance of foreign
help because the disposition to grumble
involves the lack of ability in the
grumbler to render the same service.
And in nine cases out of ten, they either
fail to get a place, or to keep it, because
in fighting foreigners they are fighting
all the enterprise, energy and sagacity
there is at home, and arraying them
selves against the most influential natives
Let this class of people learn that the
greater the number of men of ability and
capital that come into community, the
more numerous will become the opportu-
mites of employment,and this result in it.
self will destroy grumbling. The fact is
the grumblers in fighting against the re-
cognition of the qualifications of new
corners, are simply fighting against their
own bread and butter, and condemnation
of so-called interlopers, only reflects upon
the wisdom and wars against the interests
of the most enterprising natives.
