say that .his is balance long past

the faith of the State. They have
collatcrals, but are 10th to sacrifice
them at the low prices now prevail
in the money market. They propose
to receive in payment certificates of
State stock, bearing seven per cent.
interest, payable lst January, 1875,
and made receivable for taxes. They
have learned the hang of things, these
New York bankers. Tho way to
make any claim good is to convert it
into bonds or stock and make It
"reccivab!c for taxes" The tax.

Tho whites in Halifax county, Vir.
ginia, finding after the war that they
were greatly outnumbercd at the
polls by the blacks, were Influenced
by some of the most intelligent lcad-
ers in the Conservative party to adopt
a policy which might be advantage
ously initiated in other parts Of the
South. Instead ofplacing themselves
in antag"nsm to the colorcd people
tic sensible Whites set to work to
conciiiate them and gain their conf
dencc. In 1869 they nominated for
the Legislature two negroes whose
views were in accord with their own,
and elected them. There is negro
majority of about loo votes in the
county. Since then, by a continu.
ancc of the same conciliatory policy,
the Conservative whites have boon
gradually increasing their influence
over their colorcd ncighbors until
at last this negro county, with its
vast prepondcrance of black votors,
has elected to the State Senate Major
Ragland, white Conservative, CIV
ing him majority Of four hundred
and fifty over carpet Dagger by tho
name of Eddy, who ran against him.
The interests Of tho whites and blacks
in tho Southern States are Identical
tho prosperity of tho former masters
is essential to that Of tho freedmen,
who depend mainly upon them for
employ oymont and subsistence. Tho
whites cannot take too much pains
to impress this truth upon the minds
of the coored men about them, al
they appear to have done successfully
in Halifax county.--N. Y. Sun.

RecOlIeetlOns of the Past.

In Che Douglas Lincoln contest of
1856, the question of slavery and the
constitutional view of State.Rights
regarding domestic institutions was
the prominent topic Of both orators.
Douglas said
al hold that this Government was
made on the white basis, by white
men, for the benefit Of white men
and thoir posterity forever, and that
it should be administered by white
men and mono others. I do not be:
licve that tho Almighty made the
negro capable Of sclf.govcrnment."
Lincoln, far from denying this
proposition, went, if anything, bow
shot beyond the "Little Giant in
affirming it. Hcro is his own Ian
guagc
81 am not, nor ever have been, in
favor of making voters or jurors OF
negroes, nor of qualifying them to
hold Office, nor intermarrying them
with white people and I will say
in addition to this, that there Is q
physical difference between the black
and white race, which, Ebelievo, will
forever forbid the two races living
together on terms of social ant
political equality. And inasmuol
as they cannot SO live, while they d,
remain together there must be q posi-
tion of superior and inferior and !
as much as any othcr man, am in ia
vor of having the superior position
assigned to the white race."

Beecher and the Elder Keun.


Certain incidents occurring in the
lives of both of the eldor Kean and the
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, of which
the public are generally cognizant,
near resemblance to each other, not
altogether unworthy of notice. The
far famed dramatic genius of the for
mer, who could 30 marvelously trans
form himself into Othello and Shylock,
commanded universal admiration.
Byron, Mccaulay and other less dis
tinguished scholars of appreciative
taste, who witnessed the magic of his
art proclaimed him tho "Garrick of
the 10th Century In this, our day, =,
from mouths OF wisest censure," Mr..
Beecher has been pronounced the
"Whitefield" of the same era. A scan
dalous accusation constrained Kcan
into temporary retirement from the
London stage. "Drury cannot exist
without talent" exclaimed the adhe-
rents or this great artist, as he en-
parked for America. The strong men
who proved tower of strength to Mr..
beecher, might have uttered a like
sentiment. plymouth cannot exist
without talent" Intelligence of the
cloud that lowered over Kean's for
tunes, preceded shis.. arrival here. In
New York, Philadelphia and Boston,
he encounted storm of denunciatlon.
His matchless genius soon hushed that
storm. AS he trod the stage, fools
who came to scoff were charmed into
listening admiration by the irresistible
graces of this inimitable actor. This
may revive among your aged readers
recollection of the koan disturbances.

And Mr.. Beecher himself was con-
strained to lay his reverence by and
face storm of detraction. The fasci.
mating eloquence of this gifted orator,
like tho fascinating genius of Kean,
checked the storm and il passed over
him. The congregations of solid
worth and intelligence continuously
overlooking plymouth" ;" in the very
face of his traduccrs, attest his claim
to rank with the first of pulpit orators.
