Ihe scenes in Louisiana our readers are
niormed of. They were marked by onc in /
dent that looks SO like ST. Domingo that we
efer particularly to it. Tile house OF a Mr.. I,
iodnett "a Virginia name), WAS invaded by
laWlesS band OF negroes, and amongst B
ther outrages, they carried off a coffin con-
aiming the body of a uead child OF MIR. IT..
Imposing it to contain valuables, and after
issovering their error they left the mutt
ated case and the lifeless child in the high

But almost contemporary with these abom-

'ees. Their appearance was the signal for

Do these things show that there is good q
-ound for believing that the two races can p
aternize? DO they prove thar the policy q
e are compelled to enforce with regard to- q

cans be necessary in regard to that other q
J barous race which the government is now a
deayorine to compel the whites to live Y
ith. to fraternize with, and to regard as
cir equals? 9 ~
Certainly not. The difference is that the III
groes are many and the Indians are fen, o
d our misfortune is that the negroes are AZ
in the South. aid those who have none of iis

uthern whites as well as the negroes.
