a type of Southern liberty among

LEGE.
. Thursday was Commencement Day
Of the Female College, and as usual
attracted larger crowd and brighter
array. An agreeable change had ta-
ken place in tha weather during the
night, and the pleasant morning
breezes promised more of comfort
and enjoyment in the crowded Hall.
At an early hour Lindsay HALL was
packed to its utmost capacity, with
an eager and expeotant throng
which. radiant with the scintillations
OF bright, joyous gIances, amid the
Auttering Of fans, the rustling OF
silks. md the suppressed whispers Of
the crowd, waited with ill-disguised
impatience the opening of the exer-
cises. Upon the elevated platform at
the end OF the spacious Hall, are
seated the brilliant array of the pu-
pills of the Female College, decked
with fowery wresths, and estal
robes of white - around cit their
honored instructors, and patrons Of
the College, whilst above aud around,
in raised letters. and cunningly
wrought devices, are the notices and
emblems of the Colleges and the So.
cietics. Every graduate Of the Col
lege will recall tie picture and cherish
it US ~ possession and joy forever"

To the Editors of The Ne,c National Era:
In my last You make me say "45 lbs." to
bale of cotton instead Of $50 lbs, and
NEW NATIONAL ERA" instead of National
Era. meant the fund raised to place the
National Era, published by Dr. Bailey, on a
firm footing.
We now have a civil rights bill in force
slightly different from the one introduced by
Senator Dawson. Itpassed both Houses in one
day. Most Of its provisions are like the other,
BIT, IN reference to schools it requires that
as good schools shall be kept for colored as
white. In case no provision is made for the
colored, 1 suppose they are entitled to the
benefits of the white or mixed schools. The
penalty goes to the school fund except at or
ney's fees.
AS soon as the bill was signed by the
Governor, the boats from Little Rock to Mem
phis refused to take any cabin passengers.
Whoever took passage had to go on deck.
The prophesy Is that it was very bad move,
and many Republicans are joining in the cry.
1t amounts to this: We want his votes, but
we do not want him to have equal privileges
unless he has them alone. The sin Of caste
is yet to be repented of. 1 still hear men
quoting Scripture to show that God made
white men superior to negroes and cursed
the latter through their supposed progenitor,
Canaan, the son of Ham.
We are making a strong effort TO get a
branch Of the National College located in
this part Of the State, handy to the colored
people. The one already established is in
connection with the University in the north
west part Of the State, and, although open
to all, there are about two hundred white
students and but one colored. The Ameri.
can Missionary Association came into pos.
session II several school properties built by
them ani the Bureau. These it proposes to
give toward the Normal College. In all
rt:ts .! The University no distinction is made
in regard to color.
The Colored Orphan Asylum and Normal
Institute at Helena, under the Friends caro-
is prosperous. Mr.. and Mrs. Clark are do.
ing noble work there, and deserve some
help from the State, which they are now
asking for.
We have heard that one Of our railroads
has laid track to within ten miles of thi.
place. The old planters down the river are
nearly all opposed TO them.

Senator Sumner,

Senator Summers ailments are of serious
but not of a hopeless character. 1t is very
clear that he has never at any time fully re-
covered from the injuries resulting from the
brutal assault made upon him in the Senate
Chamber by the irate South Carolinian, fol-
lowing the delivery of his overwhelming
speech, entitled 1.-THE Crime Against Kan
sas;" a speech which, in our opinion, taking
it all in all, has no equal among the produc-
tons Of American statesmen. Had his life
ended at its close, that speech alone would
have made the name Of Charles Sumner i'm
mortal. Long years after its delivery, al
though listened to at the time by the writer
Of this article, he has read it over more than
once, for the pleasure Of the perusal, with
greater satisfaction than that experienced in
reading the orations of the old Grecian and
Roman orators in their native tongue. 1t has
ever seemed to him as complete in all its
parts, and at the same time much broader
and deeper, and more lofty and far-reaching
than anything found in the ancient classics,
with q style so perfect as TO be unnoticed,
only as medium on which TO freight over
whelming thoughts. We are aware that some
Of his intimate friends think some Of his
other speeches superior to this one. Aud it
may be SO, tried by the standard OF a more
capable criticism; but that is not our opinion.
may again rally, and that, under the benen.
cent smiles Of Divine Providence, he may
yet have many years Of enjoyable life among
grateful countrymen, who can never, in JUS
tee to themselves, lose sight Of his great
services. Did they know the intensity OF the
suffering he endures, and how bravely and
uncomplainingly he bears it, remembering its
original cause, and knowing the purity and
beauty Of his inner life as il is known TO Us,
the last particle of feeling Of aspehty, occa-
sIoned by recent events, would be obliterated
and be would be borne up BY the prayers Of
q nation for his restoration to health, and
that the golden years Of his life may be
crowned with comfort.

either 10 secure emp .syment at a fair salary
for youth with scarcely any prospect Of il
