Bill Arp on the Negro.
We ba VJ referred before to the, ar
tide of-Bili Arp" (Chas. H. Smith)
the October Forum on the negro
^ is an interesting docu
it discusses a somewhat
of dpfequestioo from that
?hop. Haygood, it is noue
the less entertaining and instructive
He says for twenty-five years the South?
ern people have been h o pefully awaiting
the solution of the problem whether or
Dot two distinct races can live together
ni peace-every effort has been made
save that for social equality and that
sever will be made This is due to
race prejudice says the alien philan?
thropists, but Bill Arp declares that
prejudice is judgment without know?
ledge and could not be charged to the
Sooth, though it might against those
who have never known the negro in
slavery or freedom. He admits the
natural antipathy between the races to
soet&t relations, and declares it has
existed io all ages and countries where
whites aud blacks have come ia. con?
tact. Be says all laws attempting to
secure >soc? equality are dead letters
oo the statute books, and tibe negro
"cannot abide in some portions of
Ohio or Iodiaoa, nor take a walk io
Asbury Park, nor be shampooed in
Northern barber shop, any m >re than
he can take rooms io a Southern hotel."
Referring to the benefits of education
on the negra race he says : "But educa?
tion dotes sot assure goods citizenship
Education without moral training has
proved to be a curse instead of a bless
ing. The duties that appertain to good
citizenship., such as honesty, truth,
chastity, industry aod respect for the
Sa>batL, are not taught in the schools."
Referring to the educational advantages
th/:ty: enjoy io Georgia he says they
ha re more ?ban 2.000 teachers in the
State, besides th se io the university
and other endowed institutions, and
though the negroes show mark?
ed progress at every examination
there are 2,200e negroes on the
eb&icgangs, 60 per cent of them
being under 30 'years ?f age, 40 per]
cent, being able to read and write, 50
per cent, being members of the church
io good standing, and 1,350 ?>f them
being confined for larceny in some form.
He makes the additional statement thai
if ott the young negroes who steal were
prosecuted bj their employers there
would be five times as many in the
ehaingang, ile argues that stealing
is a race trait with the negro, and he
steals just because it is his nature to
He has no moral training that makes
him fear to steal ; he fears God not at
all, mad man but little He bas no
fear of being lost, not even the violent
brute on the gallows. He says they
make good serva?ta, and are ever ready
to do yoor favor, and their stealiuge are
usually articles of small value
He says the old negroes who are sur
vivers of slavery are the best servants
and the most faithful, and education is
making the younger generation dudes
and vagabond?. They drews finely at
somebody else's expense and both males
and females are Issy and indolent
They do not show proper respect for
white people, and will not work if they
can avoid it
"The alienation is going on, widen
ing deepening and intensifying The
white mao ts losing hts sympathy and
the negro his feeling of dependence
Too much education and too little work
are-the orime causes of this growing
antipathy. His only resource M manual
labor sod ?be education he is receiving
unfits bim for this They live from
haod-to mooth, sponge opon their
working friends or kindred ; and
yet they are able somehow to
patronise every excursion and picnic
that the more enterpriseing ones get up
Tramps aod vagrants are multiplying
io the neigborhood of ail towns aod
sities, and from these the convict camps
are supplied. The six oonoties in
Georgia thai have the largest cities and
the best equipped publie schools have
famished more than half the con vie s.''
This is the ringing indictment, and
when it is bore in mind that there are
131 other counties in the State, there
would be seen to be force in the figures.
Bill Arp does not essay to solve the
problem, he simply slates k with great
force. He suggests a separated law for
whites and blacks, and says corporal
punishment is the only kind that has
ever reformed him. However this is
impracticable. There cannot bc two
sets of laws governing two sets of free
oitizens, and if toe negro demonstrates
the fact that be is incapable, as a race,
of good citizenship, he will have to
make way for other settlers who are
more useful aod teachable, Tb?o is an
age of progress and development aud if
the negro is not willing to do his share
of toe work the consequences wilt be
upon bis own head. Bill Arp thus
sisa? ?P the case :
"The appr?hension is growing, and
like a dark shadow it broods uvcr the
land, lt is felt far more in thc couutry
than in the towns aud cities, where pro?
tection is at hand. Couutry schools for
whites cannot be mair rained when there
is a negro population intervening. Tue
tendency everywhere is for whites to
reot out their farms, and move to the
towns where they cao safely educate
their children This m omen tecas ques?
tion is before the South. Seven million
of negroes are face to face with fifteen
milit?os of whites. How much longer !
ean they live io harmony ?
It is a more vital question than silver j
or gold or toe tariff, and the Southern {
congressmen who fail to consider it are
either blind or lacking in statesman?
ship. It is the great nation*I question, i f
thai ?ill not dowo st oor bidding."- J

On the point of a narrow sa

Richard (Ramrod) Page. The Co

the Ironclad Tennessee with foi
small wooden vessels, under the cot

At early dawn ou the morning

Now, sanding the decks to cate

very assuring procedure in view t
the tremendous odds which coufron

propeller and went into commissio
with about one hundred men, a con

officers : Franklin Buchanan, admiral
James W. Johnston, Virginia,captaii.
William L. Bradford, Alabama, exe

of Tennessee and Kentucky, first an?

She wa? constructed something
after the order of the old Merrimac
but much stronger ; her sharp iroi
prow would have been formidable as ;
ram, but she lacked ?peed for th ii
purpose. Uer port h oies were pro
tecled by heavy iron shutters, whicl
proved a disadvantage in the fight.
The Federal fleet moved ur.
majestically in single file. It was *
sublime spectacle, "but distance lend*
enchantment to the view " Jt wai
at once perceived that Faragut hat
received large accessions to his forct

three double turicted ironclad moni?

flag ship Hartford, as it is entering
the channel, strikes a torpedo, and
sinks in a few minutes. The whole
crew, one hundred and thirty, except
four, aie drowned.
This caused thc fleet to halt, and
just here Faragut's biographer, Mr.
Lossing, say s he prayed for divine
guidance, whether he should proceed
or not Being answered in the affirma?
tive, he gave lite order to advance
I don't know about the payer ; it was
short, but the poor fellows on thc
Techumseh did not ?iave time to say
that much. As they came inside the
bay our guns opened on them, and
our little wooden ships fought
gallantly, btu were soon disabled aud
captured. But one escaped inglo?
riously like the Spartan at Ther?
mopylae to tell the tale. Wo had now
to fight the whole fleet single handed
They poured their shot thick and
heavy upon us at short range, hut
with little effect, while our guns play?
ed havoc on their wooden ship.
After a severe engagement of thirty
minutes or more a strange thing was
seen : a whole Federal fleet consisting
jf the strongest vessels iu the navy,
manned by the best men in the ser?
vice, retreated before one single ship.
They ran up the bay beyond reach of

But there were brave mon on those

We dashed in among them, but
they were too fleet for us. We could

Nearly Half a Millioi
Speeches.
WA sut M; TON, Oct. 10 -- Nearly hal
a million uf copies uf speeches on (hi
silver question have been distributed
or are being distributed throughout tin
country at thc expense of individua
senators. The cost of this distributor
would bo a serious item if each seuatoi
footed up bis own bill, but the custom
among them is to subscribe for cacti
other's speeches, lt fr quently hap
pens, however, among thc more liberal
senators that by the time a senator ha?
gone thc rouuds of all the spec- he."
delivered <>u a particular question, v> is
about as expensive for him as if he had
footed the bill for his owu speech in the
first itistauce.
The complete list of senators who
have contributed to the literatute of the
day ou the silver qu otion in the shape
of speeches i*-sued as pamphlets are a*
follows :
Allen. Allison. Bate, Berry, Black?
burn, Butler, Caffery, Camden, Came?
ron. Chandler, C?ke, Cullom. Daniel,
Dolph, Dubois, Faulkner, Galliuger,
George, Gordon, Gray, liansbrough.
Harris, Higgin?, Hill. Hoar. Jones of
Arkansas. Lindsay, McMillan, Mills,
Mitchell, of Oregon, Morgau (2).
Morrill, Palmer, Pasco, PefFer (3),
Berkins, Platt, Power. Pugh, Sher?
man. Shoup. Stewart (3), Teller (2)
Turpie (2). Vance. Ve*?t, Voorhees.
Walthall, VVasbburne. White, of Cali
furnia, and Wilcott Of these spreche*
tweuty-six have been against repeal
aud twenty-four for it Other speeches
have, however, been made which do not
figure in this list.
Thc most expensive speech was that
of Mr. Daniel, of Virginia, the
government printing office charging
him $18 a thousand for it. This was
due to its length Senator Sherman's
speech cost $10 a thousand ; Mr.
Allison's Iii ; thc average speech in
length, like that of Mr Voorhees, eost
$10 a thousand, these figures being thc
actual cost of printing The greatest
individual demand has been made for
thc speeches of Senators Slier man,
A litton and Mills on thc repeal side of
thc question, and of Senators Daniel,
of Virginia, and Cameron, of Pennsyl?
vania, in advocacy of silver By indi
vidual demand i? meant the requests of i
people who apply f?r single copies for !
their own reading Oilier speeches,
when it. romes to general circulation, j
have* been printed in pamphlet form in j
far greater quantities.
The largest issue of any one speech j
was that of Mr Vest, of Missouri,
against repeal, which ran up to 100.
