Magazine Notices.

Wide Awake for April is eminently pictorial
The management Of this magazine seem to un-
derstand the important point, viz: the bulk of
boys and girls are attracted by fair, large, open
pictures; although there are plenty of engrav-
ings in this very number noticeable for fineness
of detail for older tastes. The illustration of
"Gold-Locks' Dream of Pussie Willow" de-
lightful poem by Clara Doty Bates, is a charm
ing design by Mrs. Finley, sister of the roet
"The Fate of Face Maker" is another capi-
tai poem, capitally illustrated; both of these
poems with their pictures are to be specially
commended for originality of thought and
gracefulness Of expression. The Behaving

The erroneous statement is persisted in,
that Secretary Robson not only sent to Jay
Cooke, McCulloch & Co million dollars
just after the Jay Cooke failure, but also sent
million and half to Bradford, paymaster
general in London, which subsequently was
turned over to Jay Cooke, McCulloch 6 Co.
The truth is, that only million was remitted
to Jay Cooke, McCulloch 6 Co., at this
time, and that came out ofthe million and a
half sent to Bradford.

The Doctors apparently disagree. The
argus says $4,000 at least were spent in
Connecticut, and the Boston Post asserts
that more money was spent in single town
in New Hampshire than was used in the
entire state of Connecticut. Even the
mountainous impudence of the argus will
not permit it to declare that $4,000 was
spent for election purposes in any one town
over the border.

A Plain Answer to Blaine.


Mr. Ben. H. Hill, of Georgia, the
distinguished statesman, who is a
credit TO his State and to the south,
in a speech delivered in the Federal
house Representative, in answer to
Blaine's on slaught on Elk President
Davis, made the following pithy,
logical and trenchant response,
every word of which Is weighty with
meaning, and every sentence of
which we most heartily indorse:-
During the whole three months of
Wirz' trial the Federal government,
with all the means at its disposal,
had not produced single witness
to connect Mr.. Davis with a single
atrocity. Even on the day of his
execution Wirz had been offered a
Communication of his sentence if lie
wOald implicate Mr.. Davis, but
Virus answer to his counsel was
"Mr. Schade, you know that / have
always told you that do not know
anything about Mr.. Davis. He had
no connection with me as to what
was done at Andersonville. would
not become a traitor against him, or
anybody else, even to save my
life But" said Mr.. Hill, ''what
poor Wirz, within two hours of his
execution, would not say to save his
| life, the gentleman from Maine says
to the country for the sake of keep-
ing his party in power. Sensation. !
Sir, christianity is faIsehoOd, hu
manity is lie, civilization is a cheat
or the man who would not make a
false charge for his life was never
guilty of willful murder" Mr.. Hill
vent on to argue that on the logic
of Mr. Blaine's speech, holding Mr..
Davis responsible for the acts of
Wirz. president Grant might be
held responsible for the acts of
M'Donald and Joyce" and he asked
whether Mr.. Blaine meant to estab-
lish a rule of construction thatwOuld
authorize the country to arraign
President Grant for completely in
the whisky frauds. WAS Mr..
Grant responsible" he asked, ''for
the credit mob lier, for the the San
born contract. and for the frauds
on the District of Columbia? And
yet Mr.. Grant had absolutely sent
to the senate of the United States
for confirmation for high Office the
name Of man abiding to Alex. R.
Shepherd, of Washington, who
stood charged before the country
with the grossest populations and
fraunds ON this District, after the
charges had been made and while
they We're pending. He Hill was
neither the author nor disciple OF
such political logic, but if the gen
tleman's Blaine proposition with
regard to Mr.. Davis was true, then
by the same logic General Grant
instead of being entitled to a third
term, was entitled to twenty terms
in twenty penitentiaries." Laugh

Now, ifthe horse had pulled the bar

THE NEGRO.


Northern men cannot conceive of
what we have to deal with in the
negro here at the South, for if they
did they would not call prosecu-
ton persecution. They do not know
that it is as natural for a negro to
steal as it is for a dog TO bark; and
they will not believe what is an ac-
tual fact, that nine-tenths of the
thievery committed by negres is en-
tirely overlooked by the ministers of
the law, petty stealing by them hav-
ing become to be considered as a
matter of course, and as of too uni
vcrsal practice to be attacked by
the law. Take ten negroes and ten
white men and let them each steal a
hog, and the result will be that nine
of the ten negroes will never be
prosecuted, while nine out Of the
ten white men will be punished.
Why? Because negro-stealing is so
universal and common that men
pass over it, without noticing it;
whereas, white men are supposed to
/ know better and their stealings are
severely noticed. Don't every south
ern man know these to be facts
Your colored cook, your washwo-
man, your man-servant and your
maid-servant are rogues, almost ev-
cry one of them. They are caught
at it every day, but not one time in
a hundred are they prosecuted. II
is undeniably a fact that the South
ern people are called upon to exer-
else more Of forbearance and charity
towards the negro than even they
themselves are cognizant of; and il
is equally true, we firmly assert an6
believe, that if these people were al
to be CHARTERED at the North they
would meet with more severe mora
scrutiny, and prosecutions for theft
would be infinitely more abundant
These bloody, narrowing tales o.
negro prosecution which prevail a
the North would be utterly dissipa
ted if they knew these facts, or would
believe them when they hear them
and we believe that a simple eXpOsi
ton of them would be better calcu
lated to negative the effects of the
blatant lies which Senator Morton
and his ilk labor to hatch up thar
all the examinations we could ut
ter. Truth is mighty and will pre-
vail, and if we can set forth the true
status of the negro and the trUC
treatment he receives at our hand:
in simple statements tt at carry con
viction with them, we can accom-
plish more to allay the bitter feel
ings these cruel men are stirring
up than in any other way. Gong
back to the main question, however
we do not believe that a Negro
should be any more eXcusable fol
stealing than a white man. He
knows it is wrong and unlawful, as
well as the white man, and we believe
our people do themselves injustice
and the negro himself an injury by
overlooking and failing to prosecute
his thievery.
