The Negroes Real Friend.
CIV aShingtOn Post.)

The negro has no real friendship at
the North. We are willing to believe,
for we see something of it here, that
the negro does not show to advantage
after crossing bhe Potomac and the
Ohio. 1t seems to US that the further
he wanders from the South the more
bumptlous and offensive he becomes.
But this is largely due to the fact that
he realizes the hostile environments in
which he is placed and in his foolish
way resents 1t. The fact remains,
however, that the negroes best and
most genuine friends are IN the South
and it is among the former slave hold :
ing classes that he finds the truest es-
TEEN and the most hel pfu! friendship.
