II the change was msde) the farmer
would be introduced to a strike ? If the
negro was to get up a strike it is highly
probable that he would be struck and
besides all this, negroes and wagc-work-
ing whites never did get along together.
In my opinion, it would be unwisc to
undertake to make the change, with the
negro here in sufficient number to do
the work, especially if his labor was
supplemented with the white race, and
thus let the white man feel that it is in
cumbent upon him to see that the lab ,r
of the negro is intelligently and indus
triously directed, until the negro be-
comes sufficiently skilled to pull
through himself. A few are doing
that now, and the number is incrcas-
ing.
In justice to the negro, let me say
that for ten years before the war be-
tween the States l was engaged in Civ
ing lessons in metal-welding and tenn
pering steel, soldering, plating, &c. l
also proposed among farmers who own
ed slaves to take sprightly man (negro)
from the farm, and in ten days teach
him to do the most Of the plantation
work, such us making and pointing
piows, ironing names, single trees,
screws. and taps, &C., &c. For this l
charged one hundred dollars-no cure.
no pay. succeeded in at least nine
cases out of ten. often instructed
poor white boys in this way, and some
rich ones, whose parents wanted to
develop their muscle and give them the
use OF tools. | found the negro almost
destitute of inventive genius. but q
genius Of imitation, highly developed.
succeeded better with negroes than
with whites not because they were as
smart, but because thev were willing
and anxious to learn. and not afraid Of
work. The white mans hands would
blister, and it was very rare that could
get one to cure the blister by raising
another under the one already formed.
can still show good many black
smiths, white and black, instruced as
above described, within day'sride and
somein Augusta, who were slaves and
instructed by me in this county in 1867
and 1858. In conclusion would say give
the negro chance. He has had hard
travel since he left his brethren in the
wilds, and although he was enslaved for
two centuries or more his contact with
the white man and civilization has made
the little bunch here worth more than
all the balance of negrodom put to-
gether.
Very respectfully yours.

The Last Words 70 a Drunkand.

Ihe following extracts were take,
from one Of the lectures of j. j. Talbot,
VINO recently died from the effects Of a
drunken debauch at Elkhart. Indiana:

The destroyer took their hand in his and

charms OF mind and person were such
that to see her was to remember bor
and to know her was to love her. Thir.

and sorrowing in its shade, The in.
fernal monster would not ever spare mo
this.
Il had mother who for long years

attorney general Of the United States, for
the defendants. Judge Hudson refused
the motion to enter in the record that
the case as to the defendant Stone had
been transferred to the Circuit Court of
the United States, and the case was tried
and a verdict rendered for the State
against both defendants for $23, ,723 A,
with interest from the 9th Of July,
1876. An appeal was taken to the Su-
preme Court of the State and argued by
Attorney General Youmans and Mr..
Miles for the State. The Supreme
Court sustained all the rulings of Judge
Hudson and the verdict, and dismissed
the appeal. The defendant Stone sent
out writ Of error to the Supreme
Court Of the United States in April,
1882, and this is the case which has
just been argued.
The case for the State was rested on
the ground that the suit against Stone
by the State Of South Carolina is not re-
movable to the Circuit Court Of the
United States under the Act Of 1875, be-,
cause it is not a suit arising under the
Constitution and laws of the United
States, is not suit between citizens of
different States, and being against Cor
bin e Stone as copartners upon joint
cause of action, no separate Judgment
could be rendered against one deponent.
and therefore that Stone was not entitled
to a removal Of the cause.
In 1882 D. 4. Corbin petitioned the
Legislature to relieve him from the
Judgment for $3O.632 66, and also to re-
fund him the $500 paid by him to
Treasurer Cardozo.
This memorial was referred by the
Legislature to commission consisting
of the Governor, comptroller general,
secretary of State, the State treasurer,
the chairmen Of the committees on the
judiciary Of the Senate and House of
Representatives,, to take testimony and
investigate the matter and to report to
the Legislature.
Mr.. Corbin appeared before the COM
mission in support of his memorial
and Attorney General Miles for the
State.
The commission reported to the next
Legislature against the claims Of Mr..
Corbin, and recommended that a settle
ment Of the judgment he effected by
compromise.
The Legislature on the 24th Decem-
Der, 1883, authorized the commission to
effect settlement Of the judgment by
obtaining payment by Corbin & Stone
of such amount rs compromise as the
commission may think the best that cun
be done under the circumstances, pro-
vided that the action of tho commission
he unanimous. -"hcre was an offer of
about $500 in settlement, which was
not accepted by the commission, and no
further action in the matter has been
taken by the commission.
The decision of the United States Su.
preme Court in the case. which was ar
gued on Friday last, is awaited with in
terest.

The state Line Mine.

Captain Lapham, Of Lake Tahoe,
who is known as one of the most
cautious and conservative of invest
ers. came in from Gold Mountain
last Sunday evening, and being de-
layed here by the washouts on the
G. &C, True Fissure reporter in
terviewed him as to the prospects of
the State Line mine. The Captain
SAYS that in all of his experience in
the mining regions since 1850 he
has never seen anything to equal It
in extent and richness. He had
been led to expect something big,
but it far exceeded his expectations.
He brought in number of speci
mems with him. Among them were
several pieces of clean white quartz.
This" said he to the reporter, is
the most deceiving rock you ever
saw, | have had assays Of it and
got nearly $780," Noting the look
of incredullty in the face of the
scribe, mortar, pestle and horn
were hunted up and the party pro-
ceeded to Reads tin. shop, when
less that tive ounces Of the white
stuff were pounded up very coarse
and horned down carelessly show
ing about five cents Of SIG gold.
When conservative man like the
Captain gets excited, there must be
some cause for it.

The anti-Ehiuc Revolution.
Adopted There.

Adopted There.
The following comprise a portion
Of the anti Chinese resolutions
adopted at rouslng antl-Chinese
demonstration at Reno:
| WHEREAS, The present law
seems to be insufficient to prevent
! the influx Of the races, coo having
| come in 1883, $500 in 1884 and 9,00O
in 1885 therefore be it
Fe3o'ced, That it is the sense Of
the citizens Of Reno, in mass meet
ing assembled, that the Burlingame
Treaty should be annulled as soon
as possible, and the laws amended
so as to entirely prohibit Cinnamon
and Chinese women from landing
on our shores, except those travel
ing as students Or for pleasure or in
diplomatic relations or in transit to
OLUST COUNTRIES.
Resolted, That our Senators and
Representatives in Congress be
urged to use all means at their com
mand to secure these ends at the
earliest possible moment.
Resolred, That it is the duty Of
all citizens having the general well
fare of the Caucasian race at heart,
and who, either from necessity or
choice. are using Chinese labor, to
replace it with Caucasian labor as
soon as it is obtainable.
Resolged, That is is the sense of
this meeting that a club be formed
by the citizens Of Washoe county
to forward these ends, and that
those who really desire to secure po-
sitions held by Cinnamon be in
vited to correspond with that club
