Sensible Talk from Fred Doug

The following is an extract from
the recent speech of Fred Douglass in
Baltimore
eve have been more unsettled by
schemes of colonization and emigra-
ton than from any other cause. First
Hayti, then Jamaica were our Ca
naans. Next came Nicaragua, and
that would have been a 'Niggeragua,
while Liberia has been a standing
land of Canaan. l am against this
going. The moral and social power,
strong though invisible, is being to
the manner born. The men who
made Rome worth going to see were
the men who stayed there. If we
could stay in the South in slavery We
can stay now. We have advantages
there which VIC could have nowhere
else. Our people in the South have
a monopoly of the labor market. They
are the arm, the muscle and the hand,
with the vantage ground of the con-
stitution behind them, men sympa-
thizing with them in every state, and
the power to say, "Give us fair wages
or your fields will 60 untitled" In
the North and West we have no such
advantage. They will be confronted
by Irishmen, Germans and Chinese,
who can do all kinds of labor, even to
handling the wood-saw and whitewash
brush. IF the negro has not wit and
wisdom enough to combine for higher
wages in the South, where will his
sagacity be when he goes Northf Cap
ital is not divested of its central at
tribute there-that of getting labor as
it can. If you go North you will
have to take yourselves with you
your qualities, your efficiencies and
deficiencies. Sympathy may be yours
for a time, but it will change into
contempt, scorn and detestation, un-
less you become self-sustaining and
self-supPorting."

THE STATE DEBT.

The fattering prospect of an early
settlement of the state debt is hailed
with. delight by large majority of
our people. Intelligent and thinking
men realize the favorable results to
accrue from a final settlement OF this
vexed question, and hence their anxi-
ETY. to close the issue. The proposed
compromise, in our opinion. comes as
near uniting all the factions as any
that could have been submitted. True
there are malcontents who urge OBJ
jections to it, but upon examination
these are found fallacious and ground
less. Some claim that the debt should
be paid dollar for dollar; but this is
one of the impossibilities. Other
sticklers hold that fifty cents with
four per cent. interest is more than
we are able to pay. 1t is held again
by the high tax organs that the action
of the legislature in submitting the
proposition to the popular vote is a
forced settlement, unless the bond
holders en- masse agree to it. 1t must
be remembered, however, that the
holders of these bonds are scattered
over the states, while others reside in
Europe. 1t is no easy matter to call
these gentlemen together and have an
expression from them in a body. The
Enloe-Baxter committee visited New
York, and the conference with the
bondholders there was satisfactory,
and the majority of them favored the
compromise. This is certainly gratis
flying and promises a general accept
ance, for when the facts are canvassed
by our widely separated creditors and
our condition is known to them, they,
too, will fall in with their New York
brethren. The leading opposition to
a settlement on the proposed basis
comes from the ancompromising ene-
mics of Democracy, and among these
We may instance our neighbcrs, the
Huntingdon Republican, strict par
tisan journal, and Bro. Bruton, of the
jackson Wing, a newly converted
but Jealous Greenbacker. For purely
partisan purposes, it is unfortunate
that these two papers should attempt
to lead their readers into error upon
this vital and all>important adjust
ment. The time for action has come
and a miscarriage of the proposition
will result disastrously. The state
has gone too far to recede, and we
must meet the question boldly. Our
future prosperity depends upon it,
and our suffering industries call loud
ly for the pressure to be lifted. Re-
stored credit, confidence and ability
will he ours as in years gone by. As
for us, we shall support the settlement
heartily, feeling assured when the
voice of the people is heard at the
polls in August it will be carried by
an overwhelming majority.

At a meeting of a number of our
best citizens, on Wednesday last, it
was determined that the newspaper
men Of Tennessee, who will hold their
annual meeting at Gallatin on the
10th of June, shall be Hospitality en-
tertained. The arrangements are not
yet entirely completed, but they will
embrace an impromptu Stock Fair and
Picnic at the Fair Grounds in the af-
ternoon. a drive around the county to
show our guests our good roads and
blue grass farms, and a banquet at
night, with ball for the young folks
who like to trip their toes. Commit
tees to perfect the programme, com.
posed of our most enterprising and
public spirited citizens, have been ap-
pointed, and, the weather permitting,
with bright skies over us, we have
every anticipation of pleasant day
of enjoyment.-Gallatin Examiner.

The Lord and Freight Trains.

Mr.. Martin was conductor on the
Burlington, Cedar Rapids Il Northern
railroad. He is church member,
and puts his faith in the Lord. He
arose in a revival meeting at Potts
vile the other evening and told what
the Lord had done for him. Among
other things he said he ran his caboose
car from Cedar Rapids to PottsVille
without a fange on one wheel. He
had faith that the Lord would keep
the caboose on the track, and He did.
1t was not long after he received an
epistle from G. j. Ives, General Su-
perintendent, which began thus !:
young man, don't believe the Lord
has anything to do with the running
of freight trains" and now Martin
nas no caboose to trust to the Lord.

The decision of Judge Dundy, at

The decision of Judge Dundy, at
at Omaha, in the Standing>Bear ha-
beas corpus case, in which he virtually
declares that Indians are citizens, with
the right to go where they please, re-
gardless of treaty stipulations, is re-
garded by the Government as heavy
blow to the present Indian system, and
that, if sustained will prove extremely
dangerous alike to the whites and the
Indians. If the power of the Govern
ment to hold the Indians upon their
reservations or to retnrn them when
they escape is denied, the Indians be-
come a body of tramps moving with
out restraint wherever they please and
exposed to the attacks of frontiersmen
without redress from the Government.
The District Attorney at Omaha has
been instructed to take the necessary
steps to carry the question to a higher
court. Secretary McCrary, in con-
formify with the decision of Judge
Dundy, has directed that those In
dians be released.

Railroad HeWs.

One hundred thousand dollars worth
Of Nashville, Chattanooga & St.
Louis railway stock were sold here
yesterday, for investment, at 35 cents.
kilograms were received from New
York offering to purchase at the same
price, but there was no more in the
market.
Twenty-Five thousand dollars worth
of Nashville, Chattanooga d St. Louis
railway first mortgage bonds were
also sold here yesterday, to capital
ist at 1033, or 81 cents premium.
1t is stated that these were all the
bonds on the market here. The rsa-
son given for these sales is that capi-
talists, who have heretofore had their
money invested in fve-twenties and
ten.forties, instead of investing in four
four per cents, are putting it into such
stocks and other bonds as will net
them from 6 to 10 per cent. They
are therefore looking out for the safest
investments of that character, and it
is not to be wondered at that they
should have determined to purchase
the stock and bonds of as well man.
aged road as the Nashville, Chatta-
nOoga & st. Louis. Connected with
this, there seems TO be disposition
among New York capitalists to make
investments of all kinds in Southern
enterprises. This augers well for the
future of the South, which must,
under such circumstances, have
more rapid and prosperous growth

A grand railroad depot, to extend
from Main to Second street, is to be
erected for the Louisville railroad COM
pany at the head OF Main street. The
work has already commenced. This
morning workmen were engaged in
pulling down the old frame shanties
inf the vicinity Of the ticketooffice.
The plan embraces a very large and
magnificent building, to cost thirty
thousand dollars. The contract is re>
garded as a very favorable one for
the company; much cheaper in fact
than the company could have put it
up with their hands and their own
umber.-Memphis Herald.

ESCAPED PRISONER CAPTURED.-Deputy
Sergeant Tyler and Captain Wilkerson left
last night for Chicago for the purpose OF
bringing back to the city John Bradley, one
OF the three prisoners who made their escape
from the Jail on the night OF the 25th of
November, by cutting through Cell No. 10.
They were tried and convicted by the Hust-
ings Court OF this city, and sentenced to
serve five years in the State penitentiary for
breaking into the room Of Judge Hunter
Marshall, at the Exchange Hotel. 1t ap-
pears that shortly after the escape OF the
prisoners, from information received by
Sergeant Lee, he bad cause to suspect that
John Bradley had made his way back to
Chicago. He accordingly notified the Chief
of Police OF that city to look out for him.
A few days ago Major Poe received tele-
gram that Bradley had been arrested, and
was held for Identification.
The authorities here wrote to the Chief OF
Police at Chicago to have his picture taken,
which was done and forwarded to Sergeant
Lee, who recognized Bradley at once.
The reward was $50 by the State and 500
bv the Sergeant; the former, however, de-
pendent upon the party delivering the ac-
cused at the Richmond Jail.
