from 5000 tons in 1868 to 631, 900 In
1872, and the British iron trade will suffer
if no further supply can be had. Two

"Such stuff and nonsense, coming from a
man who has had some reputation for g6od
sense and sound feeling, is not only surpris-
ing, il is disgusting"
Again, you say:
'The speech was evidently made in the
interest Of the Colonization Society,""
And in several other paragraphs in your
article you charge me with aiding the CoIoni.
cation Society.

BILE enough to believe they were hastily

Mr.. Dickens as the medium through whom
he will finish the work upon which lac was
engaged when he died, is a jouucymau
printer, a foreman in n large Job Office. His
age is about thirty or thirty-iivc; he IS modcr-
ately educated, and is Of average Intelligence.
He is described having "a light figure a
somewhat shrewd face, with black hair aud
mustache, and light gray eyes, very restless,
and that never seem to look AT ANYTHING IN

pal Church, and has no belief in supernatural
appearances or development, but claims that
the spirit Of Charles Dickens has appeared
to him and has informed him that he il de-

writing at a spiritual seancc under spiritual
influences, he wrote u message directed to
himself and bearing the fac-simile autograph
Of Charles Dickens, in which he was r.
quested to sit By himself in room on the

Dickens would communicate with him. Sub

Hon. j. II. White.

The following brief sketch Of the Hon. j.
I. White We clip from the Memphis appeal :.
Hon. j. Il. White, Senatorial Representa-
tive from Phillips county, was born in New
Portland, Indiana. He was reared on farm,
and his fathers means being limited, he re-
ceived only common school education. At
the age of eighteen he entered upon the sa-
cred duties of the ministry, and served to the
best Of his ability by travelling and preaching
the gospel. At ministerial convention OF
Baptists, held in st. Louis, in 1864, he was
prevailed upon by members of the conven-
ton from Arkansas to locate there. He con-
cluded to do so, and accordingly reached
Helena ON the 18th Of August, 1865. He
found church matters in very unsettled con-
dition. The doors Of the Baptist church
were closed, and large number of the MEN,
bers and congregation of the Baptist denomi-
nation without church. "The Lord blessed
his labors," and the result Of eight years.
work is fine brick church, ninety by fifty
feet, costing, when completed, twenty thou.
sand dollars. During the process Of recon.
struction he entered vigorously into the can
vass and did all he could to place the State
in a condition alike free and just to all. As
a reward for his valuable services he was
unanimously chosen, at a convention of five
thousand people Of the Eleventh Senatorial
and Representative District, to represen,
them as delegate TO the constitutional con-
| vention of 1868. When he arrived in Little
Rock, he not only found the State of Ar.
kansas in a condition to demand his earnes,
attention, but he found the Baptist church in
a very poor condition. He then turned his
energies toward building a new church foi
the Baptists Of Little Rock. He succeeded
admirably, and in 1868 had the proud salts.
faction, through his instrumentality, of erect
t, ing a comfortable church, costing five thou
sand dollars. In the same year he wa:
! elected a member OF the House OF Repre-
sentatives. In 1870, after a strongly con
tested canvass, he was honored with a seal
| in the State Senate, the journals of which
will constitute his political record. In ad
dress he is affable and courteous. He Is de.
voted to bis friends, and doesn't always op
pose his enemies. He is interchangeable anC
energetic in pursuit Of any purpose, a fac
which has contributed mainly to his politica
success. It may be remarked that he has al
WAYS been an active and unceasing worker il
the educational interests of the people, and
firm advocate Of free common schools. Tit
present efficiency and admirable organization
| OF the public schools Of Helena, are due. / an
told, in a great measure, TO his energies ant
devotion TO the cause Of popular education
He Is now being an honored and efflcien
member of the board Of directors.

An Open Letter.

SANTA FE, New Mex, March 10, 1873.
Mss Emma Coger, Quincy, Illinois.
Please allow mo to congratulate you on
your recent victory in the cause Of right and
equality before the law, in the State of Iowa.
Some time since the telegraph announced the
decision in your case in a few words, but now
am in receipt Of the New NATIONAL ERA
of the 2Sth of February, 1873, wherein find
Judge Tracy's charge to the jury; and, also,
letter from Mr.. Daniel F. Miller, Your
counsel, to Hon. George W. McCrary, NJ. C.,
in Washington, as well, also, one from Mr..
VIM. O. Vance, Keokuk, Iowa, touching
upon the same matter.
The opinion Of Mr.. Miller, as expressed in
his letter, and the charge Of Justice Tracy to
the jury, are indeed noble and humane. and
l deem it especially worthy of congratulation
that you were so fortunate as TO retain so
faithful and competent an advocate and the
high privilege of having your cause tried be-
fore so just and unhnching a Judge. 1 con-
graduate you not because you have obtained
a favorable decision in just cause, for in
reality it was not Emma Coger alone who
achieved victory, but you together with
four millions of long-wronged race, and the
cause of justice and truth, and not only for
Us. of America. but for all those who may be
struggling for equality before the law,
throughout all lands and for all succeeding
ages.
True, you deserve, and doubtless will re.
ceiye, the special thanks and commentators
Of all those Of our race, and indeed OF all
true lovers Of truth and impartial justice
throughout the Union. for your nerve and de.
termination in so nobly and SUCCESSFULLY bat.

graduate you on your great triumph in the
cause Of impartial justice-equality before
the law-tie essential points urged in Mr..
Summers most worthy civil rights bill.
Long live the courts of Iowa!
Yours for the cause of equality before the
