Science, and Art comes to us as regularly
as every Saturday comes round, and is one
of the choicest magazines that finds place
in our library. We are confident that if

serve, it would be one of the best circulated
journals in the country. The publishers
have hit upon the right size, shape, style,
and quality Of popular magazine for ulti-
mate library use, and while they are
promptly up to the spirit Of the times in
their publications, they are watchful that

THE Enquirer makes the following
Just and fair reference to the colored people
Of the State, whom one of our city con-
temporaries charges with being +" unreason-
ing brutcs." There is one thing certain,
the Southern white people ought to feel
themselves under no small weight of obi
cation TO the colored people Of the South,
for the unexampled fidelity they displayed
towards their masters during the war; for in
hundreds of cases in almost every county
in the State and throughout the entire
South, they worked their masters planta-
tons and supported their wives and chill
dren while they and their grown-up sons
were at the front fighting for the more
complete and absolute enslavement of the
colored people on this continent. There is
no instance in all history where four and
half millions Of people of any race
ever set such an example of fidelity and
faithfully discharged trusts as the negroes
of the South. They deserve, therefore, bet
ter treatment at the hands of Southern
people than to be called brutes F" or
treated as such. Had they been at all
brutal in their nature and not loving, for
bearing, and forgiying people, the wives and
children of the Confederate soldiers would
have Jared altogether differently from what
they did. But here is what the Enquirer,
in spirit of fairness and charity, says:
We cannot agree that our colored people are
brntes. We believe them men and women, with
souls to be saved. We may think that they are
interior as a race to the white people but that
does not make them brntes.n We have great
hopes OF their advancement too through educa-
ton and proper treatment, and we do not even
despair that after this election we may look
for better things from them politically
Let us treat them at all events with the
Kindness aud gentleness their past conduct
has deserved at our hands, If they are Inferior
as we think, our duty as the superior and nobler
race is to avoid insulting their feelings Noblesse
oblige. Our very position as superiors compels
us TO treat all interiors with kindness, and to be
Just under ali circumstances. The reconciliation
we most need In the South is friendly under
standing between the Two races who are COM
peled to inhabit his section in common.

at Harrisburg how he wants the late rebels
to be welcomed back: Not as penitents,
but as fellow-citizens who have seen the
error of their ways and have renewed their
allegiance in faith to the country" That
is, he wants them to see that they have
been in error, but he doesn't want them to
be sorry for it. He desires them to look
upon their sin ia much the same cheerful
spirit that possessed Topsey when she re-
marked: 81 'spects I'se awful wicked !"

In spite of stern determination to keep

The Springfield (Nlass.) Republican, pro-
fessedly Confederate, is grumbling away in
manner which distances the John Bull
newspapers in their remarks on the result
of the Geneva Arbitration completely. 1t
must be very hard for them to counterfeit
good spirits and keep it up until November,
but they are making many efforts at it,

them once in a while, in view of the en-.
barrassing facts they are forced to encount.
