THE KINGFIsHER.

He laughs by the summer stl cam
Where the lilies nod and dream,
As through the sheen of water cool and clear
He sees the club and sunfish cutting sheer.
His are resplendent eyes
His rnien is kingiwise;
and down the May wind rides he like king,
With more than royal purple on his wing.
His palace is the brake
Where rushes shine and shake:
His music is the murmur of the Stream,
And that lcaf-rustle where the lilies dream.
Such life as his would be
A more than heaven to me;
All sun, all bloom, all happy weather,
AL joys bound in a sheaf together.
No wonder he laughs so loud!
No wonder he looks so proud
1here are great kings would give their royalty
To have one day of his felicity.

THE WAR OF RACES.

correspondence from Vicksburg and New
Orleans looks as though the white people OF
those cities had commenced war OF races in
way least expected. In both cities the
whites have resolved to employ no more ne
groes and to give all their work to the poor
whites who are out of employment This is
to be done without regard to politics. Here
tofore the negro has been filling many of the
most lucrative employments and grown impu-
dent and overbearing to the white laborers as
well as employers. Here Is a case for the
Radical Congress. This is directly in the
teeth of the spirit if not the letter of the
Civil Rights Bill. What will be donep Will
the nations wards be allowed to starve?-
Happily the white people have the advantage
if attacked by the Administration leaders on
that ground. For they can point to the acts
of the government itself in excluding the
poor white laborers from work that the ne
groes can do, and requiring those few whites
whom they do employ to vote the Radical
ticket.
In adopting this course the southern whites
declare that it is their duty to first provide
for their own race-that in following out this
principle they are only pursuing the maxim
that man is worse than heather who does
not provide for his own. There may be men
in the northern States so entirely given to
political prejudice that if the negroes and the
whites were both starving in the South they
would give bread to the former and deny it to
the latter but there are no such horrid SEN
timents as these to be found in the hearts of
Southern Republicans. They would prefer.
if either must perish, to preserve the white
race and it is to this sentiment that the white
people are yielding,
This condition of affairs is not to be won
dered at when it is reflected that such senti.
ments as is presented in recent speech Of
the negro office-holders in the South are
cheered at the Radical meetings. Here is q
specimen of the language of the stump in
the South We make this extract from the
Philadelphia Mall
Davenport, the colored chancery clerk Of
Vicksburg county, made a speech to a negro
audience which loudly cheered his passionate
declaration that the white race must yield to
the coming man, the negro. He named tn,
daughters Of the first aohite tdDiies Of the city
and coarsely predicted their future marriage lUU
of his race. Similar speeches have been
made in the Mississippi legislature. Il. W
Cardosa, Mississippi State Superintendent Of
Education, a colored et-bagger from
South Carolina, published in Frederick Doug
lass Era the statement that it is better thai
the whole State OF Tennessee should be re
duced to ashes" than that the civil rights bill
should fail. Such violent language has beel
the rule. 1t is natural that the whites, thu
attacked by the blacks, should accept the is
sue forced upon them.

THE QUALIFIED SUFFRAGE SCHEME FAIL
URE.-The leaders of the Radical party at the
time when the acknowledgment of the negro
was discussed, entertained the idea that the
whites in the South were very ignorant, and
that the negroes might, in a very few years,
be taught to read and write, while the poor
whites, by Withholding their children from the
public schools rather than have them sit with
negroes, would absolutely be retrogfading.
Next, the negroes and carpet baggers having
the power in the legislatures Were to pass a
law making education qualification for cleo
tors and thus thereafter hold the whites in a
state of surfdom. But instead of carrying
out this plan they commenced Il system OF
robbery which demoralized even the better
class of negroes and upset all the prearranged
schemes. Now, the recent elections having
utterly routed the Radicals, the consequence
will be that most of the thieves will skedad
die to the northern States with their ill-got
ten gains, and the southern whites will j.,
left to repair the damages rs best they can.
