1t will thus be seen that there is here { om-
iciled in a contiguous territory population
consisting of 3,S77, ,2S0 whites, and 3,I03, 800
colored persons. The two races are animated
by feelings easily excited in to hostility, and
have memories of pride and servitude that
slumber uneasily in their minds. If once in
Ham-d into animosity it may, for these
reasons, he many years before hatred can be
obliterated. Without doubt the most terrible
and enduring of all the contests the world
has known have been those generated by
the rivalry of distinct races involved in a
war for mastery, and bequeathing the re-
sentiments of one age to rekindle the strug-
gle in another. Desolate empires, destroyed
civilizations, re established slaveries have
chronicled the result of such strife in East
ern 1ands, while many of the fairest pow
inces of Europe have been kept in a state of
chronic internal hostility by the same cause.
Moor and Spaniard in their deadly feud red
dened the waters of Granada from the sea
to the Guadalquiver. Hungary was torn by
conflict of Magyar ard Sclavonic populations,
by pheasant wars and fomented jeal-
ousies, until it lapsed hopelessly under Aus
trian dominion. Poland owes half its mis-
cries and all its subjugation to fateful
rivalry of races. In fact, emily the severest
forms of despotic authority have been able
to maintain the semblance of order wher-
ever such animosity had once been fully
antagonized. s 90 &fg ~
Am not right, then, il, affirming that one
of the weig ghtiest of all the public questions
we are now called upon to solve is how these
races sh4 II be harmonized in political So
ciety resting on popular appeal for its con-
trolling power? Am not equally correct
in affirming that unless this can now, be
done, unless this rancor of races shall be
successfully avoided, unless som, early re-
adjustment of civil society be attained, the
forms of all Republican Government must
there eventually be replaced by harsh and
cruel repression founded on force alone ?
And in that event who will be the van
quished-who will rise to substantial mas
terry? | do not need to answer that qustion,
but it is one present to you as well worthy
of profound reflection. Indeed, the very
Interrogation is danger signal in the path
one race alone, but to both =; threatening not
merely to that brilliant progress that may
otherwise be securely anticipated, but
equally so to all the enlargements of freedom
already established. ~

Sergeant Bates Redivivus.

Gilbert II. Bates, the vagarious gen.
tleman who carried tbe United States
flag through the Southern. States after
the close of the war is now going to test
the feeling of the English people in
their tight little island,' by similar
performance. According to a CORE
spondent of the Bloomington (Ill.)
Liberal, a contract has been made and
duly signed between Bates and Thomas
J. Warren, of Saybrook, Mclean county,
ILL.,, on a wager of one thousand dollars
against one hundred dollars, that the
said Bates cannot carry the flag of the
United States in the daytime, and on
foot, said flag to be of large size, and
displayed, during the entire trip, from a
nine feet flag staff, from the dividing
line between Scotland and England to
the Mayors Hall in the city of London,
without molestation or insult to himself
or the flag. The contract stipulates that
Bates shall return before the 1st day of
January, A. D. 1873, with the vouchers
of the municipal officers of the towns
and boroughs that he may pass throug h

Extracts from the Speech of Gov. B.
Gratz Brown, at Springfield, Ill.

How has it been at the south, where re-
conciliation was to be compassed? How
have life and the family been environed
with an atmosphere os security How has
trade been encouraged, taxation lightened,
prosperity protected? In other words has
the Administration there been a synonym
in such sense of good government? Sarcely
will any contend so. On the contrary I do
not hesitate to affirm that it has been an or
ganized system of depreciation and plunder
whereby most debased set of traffickers in
Northern honor have been foisted upon
Southern communities to strip them of thoir
substance in the name of loyalty. The ex
tent to which this has gone is almost in
credible. So enormous does the computa-
tion aggregate that it nigh well be dlsbe-
Heved were it not borne oLt by the official
report of Congress Commission. 1t is
from the information therein contained that
the figures are drawn, which desire now
to submit to your thoughtful consideration.
They will well repay your study, even when
you return to your homes, for they tell the
strange, sad story of nearly 10000 square
miles of territory given up to pillage under
the ostensible forms of Republican Govern
ment.
ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY MILLIONS STOLEN.
The difference between the debts of the
several States subjected to this domination
of the National Administration before that
went into effect, and at the present time,
will measure approximately the injury that
mas Deen QOne. Inc increased rdJo OF TAXA
ton and cost of government will show the
hardship that must hereafter be borne by
the people it has undertaken to care for.
The two together will throw additional light
on the question why the conquered sections
have not been reconciled to such rule as has
been prescribed by the conquest.
Upon the termination of hostilities mill
tary occupancy was had of the States that
had been. in rebellion, and by act OF Con
gress of March 2, 1857, they were consti u
ted separate military departments. Satisfied
that there was every disposition manifested
there to acquiesee the result of the war,
and confirmed still further in that belief by
the report of the General of the Army, who
made an extended tour of inspection with that
view, Congress by acts passed in June, 1868,
began the work of reconstruction. Prior to
that time ths Confederate debts, local and
general, had been repudiated, SO that the
vast increase which has since resulted is all
chargeable directly to the reconstruction
policy of the President. 1t has been done
entirely under the auspices of Republi-
can rule. 1t has been sustained and forth
fed throughou by the administration at
Washington. What the measure of that
spoliation has actually been may be best
realized from the tabulated statement now

Startling, however, as this exhibit may
seem, showing these impoverished commu-
mites to b. We been plundered of S16S, ,056 ,267
in three short years of attempted restoration,
it only represents very small part of the
injury inflicted. The enhanced cost,of con-
ducting State Administrations has fully
kept pace with the unprecedented initiation
of debt, while taxation has gone in many
instances to the extent of stripping the peo-
pie of all means of living. Thus in Arkan-
sas the annual cost of conducting the Gov
ernmept was, in 1860, $2O4, 4,O96, while in
1870 1t is shown to have been So, lac, 1872.
The tax rate before the war was 81 mills /; it
now exceeds 40 mills. Florida shows a like
increase of the genera tax rate from % cents
on the $l00 to $l.50, producing $S3, 700 of
taxes then against SAT ,S11 of extortion now.
In Georgia, the expense of administration
was, in 1868, 1926 ,600j in 1871, $924,413
with tax rates increased from 64 cents to
SAL on the $100. The tax rate in Louisiana
has gone up from five mills to 144 mills,
while in Mississippi the conduct of affairs,
which cost annually about S3OO,OOO IN 1850,
is reported at 81 500, 900 in 1870, showing an
increase of 500 per cent. Alabama likewise
has been victimized 1rightfully. The tax
return there in 1850 was 1851 III; in 1870,
So 9S2, ,932, with an increase in the rates from
| 20 cents to 50 on the Sl00. North Carolina,
in like manner, has been necessitated to
multiply four five times her taxation to
meet expenses, passing from 40 cents to l.SO
on the 800. South Carolina has been for
| carpet-baggers ga field of cloth OF gold''-
! the taxes levied for State purposes being in
| 1861 only $4OO, 900, while last year it is re-
| ported by the Congress Committee as over
| 81 ,0OO, ,06O. Texas, the last of these nine
| States, has now tax rate, for State and
county purposes, of $2.17, while commit
tee appointed to investigate the alarming
increase of taxation reports that there was
| collected from the people last year, as gen
! eral taxes, the enormous sum OF $5,56l, ,oOi

PROPERTY VALUES VIRTUALLY DESTROYED.
Bear in mind, too, that for this vast in
Fiction of debt, and this exhaustive
nual drain, the former mortgaging the life
work of more than one generation of men,
and the latter making the rich poorer than
the poor, there is absolutely nothing in the
shape of return to show. 1t has been
tealing-literally stealing, and a President
Boosting of a policy, Administration
calling itself Republican, party claiming
to be upright and honest, knowing fully to
all the facts, as sustained by force of arms
and threats of military reoccupancy, such
a rule. But consider still further the addi-
tional exhibits l wish to present from the
same source, showing how local pillage has
equally kept pace with the more elaborate
system of general plunder, and how it has
had the effect virtually to destroy all values
in property. 1t is said of some parts of
South America where justice does not pre-
tend to dwell that only somethiny which
can be swallowed or ridden-a diamond or a
mule-will command price, and truly it
would seem if the same was about to be-
come true in many of our Southern States.

An Insect-"Genus Culex.v

By LAZY BEE.
There is little insect
lis singing while I sing;
1t has no voice or feather
Its notes are in its wing.
It comes from out the water.
But never drinks a drop,
Though tits an awful topper,
And "claret" is its sop.
Its legs are very lengthy
Twas never known to walk.
A ni0ht-inRaleish singer
Twas never known to talk.
Its music may be charming
To soothe the savage breast;
Its strains are quite too stirring
To harmonic with rest.
It sleeps all day, in order
To wakeful be all night;
And, though it thrives in darkness.
1t always goes for" light!
It is the great collector
Whose 6iWs a draft at sight;
It bores the bleeding debtor,
Reeeipting with a biteI
It is flying lancer.
That laughs at locks and bars;
1t brakes a thought in motion,
As 'twere a train of cars
They say that, in lifetime,
1t takes single meal;
But this must be an error.
To Judge by what I feeli
It flies from hut to mansion,
And TAX es a drink from each
Thus mixing wine with whisky.
And onion juice with peach
Its days are few in number,
And yet, if they were less,
'Twould not disturb my slumber,
Nor cause the least distressI
A house is not a castle
While it may freely come
And sample" blood at pleasure,
As if 'twere common rumi
And l am fierce with anger
To think / cannot fight
These ghosts that haunt my chamber
nd make me dread the night.
And if the reader answers,
You might procure a net; :"
If was mailed in iron
They'd circumvent me yet!

Again see what disastrous influence has
been exerted upon labor and is products by
this systematic robbery. Can you wonder
that lends should be left idle rather than
cultivated, or that none should be willing
to exchange other tokens of value for them
when Government itself thus takes the
shape of confscation? The striking con-
trast here presented is eloquent of misrule,
and carries with it nothing to commend
people oppressed, or to reconcile them to the
blessings of republican thus held up for
their admiration and adhesion.
