Henry Ward Beecher, now on q lect-

terance to his views concerning the re-
lations between whites and blacks.
While firmly maintaining equal rights
under the laws Cor both races, and es-
pecially those guaranteed to freedmen,
be was explicit upon one or two points.
He said, he did mot think it wise that
whites and blacks should mix blood,
yet il is their right and liberty to do SO
il they choose. But it is to be dis
couraged on the grounds of humanity.
The slaves are free; they must come
under the universal law. AS to their
social position, no Legislation can put
ignorance and knowledge on a level,
Incidence and industry, virtue and vice,
rndeness and refinement. The house
hold is to be free to choose or refuse it's
company; M obstruction should be put
in the path Of education. All oppor-
t~unities for development should be sa-
credly kept open to every class. every
encouragement given to industry,
wealth, refinement and good citizenship.
After that, society must be free, so fal
as Legislation is concerned, to choose iii
partnerships.

RUSSIA AND
Il Rasso-Afghan Fight Likely to Pre-
cipttate War Between England and Rus


cipitate War Between England and Rus
STA. 2
The Official Messenger, at st. Petersburg,
published the following: .
Gen. Kamoroff reports that in consequence
of hostile manifestations by the Afghans he
was compelled to attack them. The Afghans
were posted on both banks of the River Kuskh,
in an entrenched position. The fight occurred on
the Both of last month. The Afghan force was8,-
600 men and eight guns, and was defeated with
the loss of all the field artillery, two standards
of banners and the entire camp outfit, and all
the provisions of the Afghans were captured.
The Russian loss was three subalterns and ten
soldiers killed and twenty-nine wounded.
When the fighting ended Gen. Kamoroff return
ed to the position he had formerly occupied.
A dispatch to the London Times from Gulran
Of April 3 states that the Russians, while MAX
ing a Psetext OF changing their outposts on the
Afghan frontier, attacked Penjdeh, March SO,
and drove the Afghans out of their positions.
Mr.. Gladstone said in Parliament England
had kept her part of this agreement. Up to
March 80, at least, the Afghans had made no
advance nor any forward movement of any
kind So far as the information possessed
by the ministers went, the government must
regard the attack by the Russians upon
Penjdeh as unprovoked. The government
had asked for III explanation of this
attack from Russia, but, of course suf-
ficient time had not yet elapsed for the re-
ceipt of an answer to this request Sir Ed
ward Thornton, the British ambassador at
St Petersburg, had, however, telegraped
that M. De Giers, the Russian prime minis
ter, had expressed for himself and for the car
an earnest hope that this unhappy incident
might not prevent the continuation of the me-
go4&Sdcns for peace.
This remark was greeted with shouts of
derisive laughter and the impression is
that war between England and Russia cannot
be adverted.
The anti Russian feeling in both parties in
the house of commons amounts to q passion.
II Russia's explanation of the attack ON the AZ
ghans be delayed or incomplete, the British
government will be forced to declare war or re-
sign. Decline in consols since the opening Of
Afghan frontier dispute has been 8 per cent,
which equals the fall IN consols at the opening
of the Crimean wal.
The London Morning Post states that Gen.
Wolseley has been ordered to withdraw one
third of his entire force from the Soudan for
services elsewhere.

and distress. 1t viii be the first inquiry
