That one Of the greatest needs Of

thrifty laborers to utilize her vast
resources, there cannot be a doubt.
But the question is: Is there suffi.

ers to immigrate to this section in
order that our waste places may be
built up. In our agricultural con-
ventions much is said about devils

settle in the South. But not one

important preliminary step, patron

that we are determined to patronize

in our own section instead of sending

will be some tangible reason for ar

of Immigration amount to nothing.

our own hands. Then there will be
no necessity to talk about ways and

A MAN, PERHAPs-BUT NOT A
BROTHER.

@AS1AS@ AAA4ANs
The leading naturalist Of the
world, Prof Agasslz, has been lee
turing in San Francisco, and is re,
ported by the San Francisco Scien-
tific Press to have said;
II have pointed out over Q hum.
dred specific difference between the,
bonal and nervous systems of the
of the white man and the negro. In
deed, their frames are alike in no
particular. There is no bone in the
negroes body which is relatively of
the same shape, size, articulation, or
chemically of the same composition
as that Of the white man. The me-
groe's bones contain far greater
proportion of calcareous salts than
those Of the white man. Even the
negroes blood is chemically very
different fluid from that which cour-
ses in the veins of the white man
The whole physical organization Of
the negro differs quite as much from
the white mans as it does from that
Of the chimpanzee--that is, in his
bones, muscles, nerves and fibres,
the chimpanzee has not much farther
to progress to become white man.
This fact science inexorably demon
strates.
"Climate has no more to do with
the difference between the white man
and the negro than it has With that
between the negro and the chimpan-
zee, or it has between the horse and
the ass, or the eagle and the owl
Each is distinct and seperate crea-
ton. The negro and the white man
were created az specifically different
as the owl and the eagle. They were
designed to I'LL different places IN the
system OF nature. The negro is no
more a negro by accident or misfor
tune than the owl is the kind of a
bird he is by accident or misfortune.
The negro is no more the white mans
brother than the owl is the sister Of
the eagle, or the ass the brother Of
the horse. How stupendous, and
yet how simple, is the doctrine that
the Almighty maker Of the universe
has created different species Of men,
just as He has different species 81
the lower animals, to fill different
places and offices in the grand MAJ
chinery Of nature"

SOUTH CAROLINA.

A correspondent of the N. Y Iri.
bstne gives a very dark and humili-
ating picture Of affairs in the Pal
metto State. After speaking of the
composition of the Legislature which
comprises among its members twenty
three white men from the upper dis
tricts who hold their places reluc
antly and ninety-four negros--re-
ally "a Black Parliament" represents
ing a white constituency. he further
says -
But the reader will find almost any
portraiture inadequate to give vivid
idea of the body and enable him to
comprehend the complete metamor-
phosis of the South Carolina Legis-
Iature without observing its details.

black, the doorkeepers are black, the
little pages are black, the Chairman
of the Ways and Means is black, and

than half dozen exceptions, were
themselves slaves, and their ances~
tors have been slaves for generations.

schooner Wanderer, fitted out by
Southern stakeholder, twelve or fif-
teen years ago, in ostentatious def
ance of the laws against the slave
trade, and whose owner and master
boosted of having brought cargo of
slaves from Africa and safely landed
them in South Carolina and Georgia,
one thinks it must be true, and that
some of these representatives are the

not now quarrel over their presence.

NEGRO SUPERSTITION.

There is an old negro woman
living in this city by the name of
Nancy, who is firmly believed, by
all the negroes, to be witch She
presents a most hideous appearance,
dresses in rags, and prowis around
in stables, old houses and back yards
at night. She says she can aurn, in
twinkling, to cat, dog or rat, and
can visit vengence upon any one
who raises her resentment We
have never heard of her doing any
injury or stealing. She is feared by
all the negroes, who will go any
time five miles out Of their way to
keep from passing her. She has no
home or visible meansvof support.

TuE WHIPPING posT.-Whippng as
punishment for crime, Is becoming rather un-
popular. The continued attacks upon IL by the
Press in this and other States, make the people
feel somewhat sensitive. II Is unpleasant to be
subjected TO continual reproach or ridicule.
Considerable time however must yet elapse be-
fore IL can be abolished, unless some more effec-
tual way Of preventing the commission of crime
can be devised than is practiced in any of the
y to arouse feeling in favor of summary
or condign punishment. Even advocates of
nonresisiance become quite belligerent when
their corns are punched unnecessarily.
1fa man happens to have a horse stolen he
at once thinks the depredator ought to be
whipped severely, no matter how much he may
have heretofore inveighe6 against that mode Of
punishment. The visits of rogues from other
States also tend to increase the feeling in favor

The Open Ballot-In the Pennsylvania Con

mended by our fellow citizen Ex-Alderman
Francis Vincent, some two OF three years ago
in the New York press, again came up for dis
cussion on Thursday last. In the debate,
majority Of the speakers advocated most of the
ideas advanced in his article, even to the num-
boring of the tickets. The Philadelphia Even
ing Telegraph has also come out in favor Of
the measure. Mr.. Ewing of the Cecil Wing
has published the article in which We stated on
the authority of the Rev. Fielder Israel that it
was copied into the New England newspapers,
and in an editorial comment details CONVERSE
ton had with MIR. Vincent on the measure in
1912. 1t speaks Of how forcibly he was struck
with IL at the time.
We merely mention this matter TO give the
true author the credit of these ideas, because
he intends 10 prepare an article as soon as he
has the leisure, defining in full plan that he
believes will make legislative corruption almost
impossible. lie receives nopay for his writing
and it is nothing but just If any honor is attach
ed to his propositions that he should receive
it--but the main reason is, that as lie intends
TO write upon other matters that people may
deem utopian, merely because the ideas are
ne,c--he would have natural desire TO point
10 others which he formerly advanced, that in
their incipiency were also deemed utopian, that
upon examination were reduced to practice
Again his ideas after being published to the
world are taken up by other people. To cite a
case: Mr.. Lesseps, the great engineer, the con-
stluctor of the Suez Canal, has laid a formal
plan before the Russian Government as its orig
inator, TO unite India with Russia. Now this
same plan vas published by Mr.. Vincent in tie
Republican on the 9th Of July, 1871, was cop
led into several English newspapers, and was
translated, and published in the principal Paris
newspapers, and read there by Professor Ma
cheret of Delaware College, whilst in visit TO
France. This plan was set forth IN the article
! advocating the construction of a railroad from
New York to London by way of Behring strait
| Two English engineers also laid a plan to lay 4
railroad from England to India. This plan was
also set forth in previous communication
