Th2 .futire of the Negro

If the design of the radical par
ty is to annihilate the colored
-rap, in this country, it has adopt
-ed the surest means to bring about
that. rasult. The time will com,
.and that not many years ho.nce,
whoi the blacks of the South will
bo.reucos in number so greatly
that their total extinction will bo
simply a matter of mathematical
.oulcilation-the fact beinig a.-fore
gone conclus.ion so plain and pal.
PAale that none but.'the veriest
ignoramus will have the hardihood
to deny it. It is useless, in the
woids of Hamlet, "to try and cir
-cuinvent God." It is useless to ex
pect, that the white race in Amo
rica, with all its vim and vigor,
consequent upon its marrigo and
intermarriao with Saxon, Tou
ton anJ COet, will hold back in ita
-Qnward career, in order that the
ATrican may attain, in company
with it, to that higher civilization
which, reason as we may, is rL
,iorved only for the Caucasian, in
thip new world at least. Not all
the quasi-philanthropic schemes
that have been. or may be, evolved
from Puritanism, can alter the
flat which has gone forth -we use
it, now, in no mere party sense
-this is, and ever mutist be,a white
man's governmenti. As the power
.Of the aborigines has, year by year
faded away in the glair of while
*Civilization, so will the number of'
Afric's soni' decrease, until the
remnant that may be left will only
mark mhro fCreiblo the truisim,
-that no race can ever set itself lp
against the white without either
subjection '-r ext.iiction being the
sequence. It is not by any means
a consoling reflection, to feel as
"urod thati a race whieh might
have done much in aid of itself,
of the country and of mankind,had
those who took it under their es
peial care dealt with it as natural
law requires, is doomod to become
extinct; but there is no man who.
calmly surveys the condition of'
things among us to-day that is not
-convinced of tihe verity of our as
sertion. Radicalism invariably
.actq without regard to reason, and
is4l)ble .to profit by expberienco.
It haf placed the negro in a
sphere which Providence neither
designed For him nor fitted himil
for. It has ondeavored to impress
hirn with the vain, falso and frivo
lo.s idea, that he can overcome
the many and mountainous obsta
cles that forbid his rising to an
equality wvith the more intellec
tmial and stroner' brother, andI
seekCs to force him in to emulating
achievements of the white man;
while all history and experience
topch that such a course can only
en< in his destruction.

Testing the Spirits.
When spAiritualism first made
its aippearance in the village of
old Deacon Issacs, a rich
inan who had stood by tho Church
for nearly threescore years, was
xceedingly bittur againat all be.
Hovers i) the "devif's work," as
he called it, and denounced spirit
ualists and Spiritualismn in no very
gentle language. Imagiue the
deacon's anger, then, when six
months afterward ho found it had
worked its way into his family,
and not only wore his wife and
Ilaughters believers, but, one of
LIhem1 was a medium,and possessed
[Il power to Converse with the
3pirits of those who had departed
to that "bourne from which no
Lraveler reltrn-is."
Deacon lases was mad, dread
Pully mad, but ho hd wit enough
niot to show it, and ho bore the
taunts of the ungodly with a meek
ipirit. He knew it would be use
ess to declare open war; for Mrs.
Lsaucs alone had proved more
lhan a match for him, and he was
uro to bo defleated. He must
lcircumvent the critter," as lie
mlxressed it., and to this end he
5et himself to work. ie was a
man of sound judgment, and his
6vorldly experience for fifty years
vas niot, throwni away. From the
lay it first camIe to his kiowledge
Lhat his wifo and daughliters were

ignilt nor did he ever allude to
t, except in general terms in his
nornin1g prayers; but any one
ould see that it troubled him
bir he was absent-minded, his eyes
vandered restlessly, and be looked
reworn.
Tho deacon mitnessed one or
wo "sittings" at his own house.
knd was satisfied that if' he pos

Mrs. Isaacs could stand it no

"'It's a lie ! I dlidn't l it's a lie!"

"'Nor' I !"' adided Sarah.
"Then," said the (eacon, while a
smilo illumhinatedl his countenance,
"we will bid them good-by, and
leave those things which God has
wisely hid from us to be r'evoalod
in his time."
The deacon's evening devotions
were characterized with more
earnestnos8s than usual, and the
family retired fully satisfied that
the spirits and mediums (lid not
always reveal the truth.
Mr's. Isnen was sn glad that
none of the neighbors wore pres.

wind, and so fearful were tho spi
rit dames of N- that they might
be caught in the same trap which
the deacon had set, that spiritual.
ism was driven entirely from tho
village.

R. B. Bulloch, Governor of the
State, were seated in front df the

hind his back, he poured the col.

don splash sent a liberal supply on
the persols of' Gon. Terry, Gov.
Bulloch and a stranger seated
near them. One of Chisolm'n par
ty fired a shot into the ground to
draw ia crowd. In tho meantime,
Chisolm politely apologized to the
strangelr for the unintentional in

soaked di.lnitaries who had shared
in the "baptism by slops."

good oilder, contentment and sue
cese of his plait demonstrato it as
the true policy.
When ho has contracted with a
laborer, ho simplifies 'the contract
by reddeing tho amount agreed
1pon- to per diem pay. Thus, i f lie
agrees to pay a first-class hand
175 for the year's work, he runs
thp working days through it, and
tho laborer learns that ho is to
get 56 ceilts per day, or F3.30 ov
ery Sat' rday. Th is simplifivation
is not only necessary to enable
tile simple- iminded laborer to keep
his own aecoulnts, but is Iecessa
ry to cnblo the malnger to keep
a 0orrect time bo-.k, foi the timle
is still further divided into hours
andl halt hours, anld the laborer
knows that he s docked lhv the
manager for Overy hour and even
halt hour lie looses during work
ing hours.
This system stimulates a deter.
millatioln onl the part of r.t-chtss
hands to retain thit high distine.
tionl, and operates its an incentive
on the lower lasses to merit pro
motion ; whilo the docking, or 1as
they call it, "ducking," inspires
at wholesome fear of falling short
of the %3.36 at tho close of, the
week.
The ration is furnishcd only to
the regularly hired laborrs, but
provi'sions are kept on the place,
and furnished to them fFor th non

At the cnd of eat-h quarter the

cent that is due. No storo Ico
coiuts or other indebtedness are
rung in payment, bt whiat is dle
is paid up in money. and a whole
day is allo%wed them to frolic and
spend it if they chooso. They are

Whenever a laborer disobeys
the manager's orders, or fails in
anly way to do his duty and there
is a conflict bectween him and the
mnanag'er, lhe has the right of ap
