the colored vote will be unfclt In elections.
The State is very slowly recovering herpros-
perity, but it will bc the work of years to
make the general thrift and comfort Of either
race that prevailed before the war. ~ @-'a 3
There is much of truth in these opin-
ions, and Col. Mcclure is doing great
service in calling attention to the real
state of affairs-in dlssipating the preju-
dices that have sprung up since the war.
He does not seek~to extnuate any of
the faults that he finds exist, nor does he
set down aught in malice. 1t is to be
hoped that his letters will receive more
general publicity than they can attain
through their publication in the columns
of his own paper.

1t has transpired that Mr.. n. b. HARDWOOD
has left the city, and about as quietly as the
sudden and unexpected departure of his wife
and family some three weeks ago. Friday
evening he purchased ticket for Chicago, of
Mr.. Scott, the Nicollct house agent of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul road, and left
on the evening train No satisfactory expla-
nation has been given of his sudden leave from
the city. Mr.. c. ii. Petit, the assignee of
Harwood'S property, said he did not hear of
his leave until Saturday afternoon. j. X.
Side said yesterday morning that he had just
heard of Mr.. Harwoods leaving the city. II
is quite generally believed that his ostensible
destination is New Orleans, where
his family now are, but there are better rea-
sons for believing that he has gone to New
York in the hope of effecting snme kind of
settlement. He has all along been most anx-
ious for compromise, and made an assign
ment only as the last alternative. II is more
than probable that he is on no trip for health
or rest, but is working up some scheme in as
sociatiOn with his business. He left his hotel
bill unpaid, but would doubtless have settled
that il contemplating a trip to Europe, or an

THE CODITION OF LOUISIANA.

Col A. X. Mcclure, editor of the Phil
adelphia Times, is now writing very
interesting series of letters from various
parts of the South, treating of the social
moral and political condition of the peo-
pie he finds there. The letters are char
acterized by strict impartiality, and it is
very easy to see that the writer has
spared no labor in arriving at the true
state of affairs. He has recently passed
through Louisiana, and has made a
thorough study of all the phases of life
there, the results of his observa-
tions being given in a recent number of
his journal.
Col Mcclure finds none of the race
persecution that has so long been the
staple horror of the Republican press of
the Northern States The negroes
are treated with all the considera-
tion that they could in reason
demand. The natives of the State, he
finds, treat the colored people with far
greater kindness than do those recently
settled there, and, while not according
them social equality are careful to pro-
tect them in their political rights That
many of them did not vote at recent cleo
tionS is admitted but the fact is attributed
more to lack of organization on the part
any systematic efforts to deprive them of
their rights. The Republicans left the
State in condition of almost hopeless
bankruptcy, and disguised not only the
white citizens but thousands of the more
intelligent of the colored population, who
have ever since cast their lot with the
Democrats, who have reformed many of
the abuses of carpet-baggism and given
the people a reasonably honest and econ
omical government.
In speaking on this point Col. Mcclure
says: .-.f-.z
They [the negroes] understand that their Re-
publican leaders left nothing but theft and
misrulc as the legacies of their power, and
between their distrust of their leaders and
the steady repression by the whites, they
feel no interest in politics. They know that
they cannot rule and they know that as they
are now situated, they should not rule. They
see their few whiteD and black leaders who
remain in Louisiana, wrangling over the fed
cral offices, and struggling only to profit
themselves. They saw two Garfield electoral
tickets in the field at the late election, when
united effort would have been hopeless, simply
because the officc-holders and office
expectants could not agree, and they are
heartily Disguised with politics. A political
campaign means grinding the black man be-
tween the upper and neither milestone Of
thicving friends and brutal foes, and until
there shall be a Republican organization in

Virginia and the transfer of both armies
to Northern soil; but, he soberly added,
the battle was misfortune. The chances
were equal, as he regarded it, for mil
ltary success, and that would have de-
ranged the whole plan of the govern
ment and impaired its resources for the
campaign of that year. AS a military
movement Mr.. Davis says the Gettysburg
campaign had the entire approval of Lee,
and there were no political divisions in
the South to dictate any departure from
the wisest military laws. 1 desired also
to know whether, at the time OF the
Hampton Roads conference between
Lincoln, Seward, Stephens and others,
Mr.. Davis had received any
intimation from any credible
source that Mr.. Lincoln would assent to
the payment of four hundred millions as
compensation for slaves if the South
would accept emancipation and return to
the Union. He answered that he had no
such intimatiOn from any source, but that
if such proposition had been made he
could not have entertained it as the exec
utive of the Confederacy. He said that
he was the sworn executive of govern
ment founded on the rights of the States;
that slavery was distinctly declared to be
| exclusively State institution, and that
such an issue could have been decided
only by the independent assent of each
State. Some of them, he added, would
| have accepted such terms at that time,
but others would have declined it, and
peace was, therefore, impossible on that
/ basis. --,1.-
DAVIS HOPEFUL OF THE SOUTH.
| MIR. Davis discussed the present atti-
tude and future prospects Of the South
with manifest interest and great candor,
While he is not and cannot be factor in
attaining any desired political results for
the South, he shares the hopes expressed
| by the great mass of the more intelligent
| Southern people, that all the difficult
problems will yet be wisely solved by
/ gradual advancement and final harmony
of races and sections. He was unre-
| served in expressing the belief that a
civil service in the South that would in
| sure fidelity to the government and
people could not fail to end par
tisan or sectional issues between
the South and the Garfield administra-
ton and unite both North and South in
the promotion of the material Interests of
the whole country. His discussion of the
relations of the two sections under the
present political aspect was thoroughly
philosophical and statesmanlike, and
while he will remain the one adjudged
stranger to the Republic, he hopes yet tc
see the South prosperous in common with
a prosperous North, and the scars of wal
and the bitterness of sectional dispute
healed forever Next to Southern slave
confederacy he believes a free union
the best government for the Republic.

Senator Buell. probably never in his life
felt his powers of persuasive argument
so utterly wasted as on Tuesday. While
driving a lot of pigs to market, couple
of them refused to be taught the way in
which they should so, making spasmodic
efforts, pig like, to 60 just oppositely.
The Senator expostulated, demonstrated,
gesticulated, but one of the obtuse brutes
cut short his argument by making a dash
to the rear, between the grave senator's
legs, which took that usually dignified
gentleman off the floor, and laid him on
his back in a position anything but dig
nified. al -551

with which Mr.. Davis met my inquiries.
Why Beauregard was ordered to fire up
on Anderson in Fort Sumter, after his
surrender was inevitable at a specified
time without assaulting the flag, has
never been entirely understood. 1t was
the act of madness, as it made division i'm
the North impossible, and | have always
believed that the real cause of the order
to open fire was to unity the South and
end the threatening movements for re-
union on terms. Mr.. Davis answered
promptly and emphatically that The
order was given solely because faith had
been broken by the Lincoln adnlinistra-
ton in attempting to reinforce Anderson,
and that the South needed no war
