Sunday Morning, April 7, 1807.
From Die Milwaukee Dally Wisconsin
Mr. Itlre'a Feurlh Ldler.
Wo present below the fourth ol the series ol
the loiters addressed by Mr. Mice to tlio Milwau
kee /MiVy HVitenniti/i, to which we have reftorrod
in former Issues or this journal. We shall make
reference to the views embraced In tho following,
ou the present condition ol the poor and igno
rant whiles ol our Slate, and the negroes, in
another column
The negro is doing well under all the discour
agements he has to contend with, as well, in all
probability, as would whiles, lie is at present
very ignorant, very la/.y, intemnerato. decoplivo
good imluied, nllordmg any amount of room for
the practice of spare benevolence for generations
tn come. Tho Influence of slavery upon him
has lett him in an entirely dependent state, and
in a deplorable condition, to encounter the rough
and tumble of free lite. A thousand stand ready
to impose upon his igaorauce and credulity, and
none sooner than the shrewd Yankee who goes
R oulh to make money in planting. So little has
io seen and been trained to tho ways ol the
” vorld, though be he three score and ten, he is
till nothing but an overgrown child, mentally.
Wbat lie needs to learn first is the value of
money, which lie has no more idea of than of
the alpliabet. Oftentimes he is entirely indifler-
■nt to the amount of his wages, and when get-
ing them entirely ignorant how make any pru
dent use ol them.
As an Illustration, one ol them receiving his
wages for a month went straight with his wife
to the first store in their way to dispose ol them,
"■’nor and ragged as they were, after buying in-
uunerable tilings, including some tobacco, some
andy, some ribbons, a waterfall, and a few
HHinds ol corn meal, paying for each article
parately, the negro thrusts bis finger deep into
lis vest pocket, and fishing up the last piece of
is Iractional currency, the last remnant o( his
aid month's work, he says: “ Mister, have you
"l anything else worth about fifty cents? ’’
Alluding to waterfalls reminds me of a pecu-
iar characteristic ol the African race. The nc-
:io women are extremely fond of dress, and are
Iwavs first to don new styles, and indulge in the
xtretue ot fashions. It is not uncommon on the
iabbath to see them on the streets by scores,
oing to church, in the lowest kind of low-necked
ud the shortest kind of short-sleeved dresses;
nd, as their dresses are usually white, the lines
f demarkation are quite unmistakable, present-
ug a very picturesque appearance. A negro
roman will work in the cotton field bareheaded
11 tho week, in the hottest kind ol a sun, and
pmc into town on Sundays and only go to
burch in white gloves and under a silk parasol.
When the waterfall first came into vogue, it
was a regular stunner to the negress. For a long
lime they gazed with longing eyas upon it, but
here was nothing to attach It to. Like old mi
le Ned, they hud no wool on the back of the
head, where the hair ought to grow, to which to
attack waterfalls. But a few days passed, how-
ver, before nil the negro womeu, to the very
loscst haired, wore on the street, sporting the
1 irgest kind of waterfalls. They exhausted the
air and held them on by suction.
The negro since his freedom, puts on many
airs, and it Is amusing to see him in full dress,
• line, gloves and liat, but his appearance iB not
more ridiculous than Ins high ideas of freedom,
and the dignity lie assumes In his new position.
Quite an ordinary negro, freed by Sherman,
lound his way North, straying as far as New Ha
ven, remaining there until a lew months since,
when he returned to Atlanta. His old master,
much surprised at seeiug him back again, says:
“ Why, Tom, I thought you went North." “ I
did, massa," I found the sentiment there so ’nox
ious to tlie Southern gemmen—all ab'litionisls
up there—f couldn’t stand it, Massa, and re
turned.
The negro, however, is very plastic and kind,
and will make improvement with plenty instruc
tion. The experiment of giving him the ballot
in his present uneducated condition I fear is little
understood by the North. His vote will be a
cheap commodity for a long time, and whoever
is his employer will, in nine cases out of ten,
control it cither honestly or otherwise. The
poor whites of the South always voted with the
slaveholder, although their present condition is
directly trnced to the influences of slavery, de
grading white labor. I do not believe in the
wisdom of it; not that iie should vote any the
less on account o! tho misfortune of his color.—
i )n the contrary my sympathies for the weak and
poor are such f would always give them, if any
difference the advantage over Hie more fortunate,
Ini 1 amalraid the government cannot stand the
additional burden of ignorance to be swayed
hither and thither by designing men and politi
cal demagogues.
Von know that politics is prostituted to the
basest purpose North, so that very feiv good men
will dirty their hands with it. Politicians are no
more honorahlo at the South. All of tho igno
rant whites, nud all of the freedmen, which will
number the majority of Southern States under
universal suffrage, will be at the mercy of the few
professional politicians, and the result will be the
government of the whole South will be as ob
jectionable to the interests of the better classes,
is was the government of this city for years.

and I never lost It, and l was going over to see if
you couldn't scratch out my name, and put his
ill, and save him the damage."
And still these poor ignorant whites are capa
ble of improvement. About five hundred of
these are being educated gratuitously at Atlanta,
by Northern female teachers of first-class attain
ments, and the appearance of their schools is
very creditable.
Among these are sustained two very flourish
ing Mission, Sablmth and Industrial schools,
the scholars having been almost entirely, clothed,
and many of their parents for that matter, by
their superintendents and teachers. Mission
schools uro a new institution lor Southerners,
but they are slowly following in tho track of the
North in that great means ot educating and
christianizing the poor, and before a long timo 1
expect to see all the poor of the South, of both
colors, gathering Into such schools and being
taught by tho Christian people of the South.

of Georgia, which I consider, when properly de

"Darleton,” the well-known correspondent of
the Boston Journal, sends to that paper the fol
lowing aceonut ol a visit to the British House of
Commons:
“My position is on the right-hand side of the
door. In front of me are tho Bishop of Oxford
and Prince Christian. The Bishop is a heavy
man—perhaps fifty years of age—with dark hair,
smooth face, a pleasant countenance, and wears
a broad brimmed lmt turned up behind and
down in front. Prince Christian, like myself, is
a ‘stranger,’ although husband ot Princess Helena.
He is from Schleswig—tall, well formed, almost
bald nt the brows, his hair, soil and thin, smooth
ly laid, his face unshaven, his light-lined whis
kers hanging upon his breast. His face is bronzed
is if from exposure; bis eye dark blue. He lias
l lie air of one who has seen various phases of
life, and not always the best side. He is a Cap
tain ot Lancers in the Prussian army, and is
thirty-six years old.
“At my right hand, on the same bench, is the
editor of the Times, Mr. Delaine, a plump Eng
lishman, with a complacent countenance, whis-
keis tinged with gray.
“LordCmnbmirne, tall, bald-headed, but car
rying enormous whiskers, stands beside Prince
Christian, with folded arms, 'gazing upon the
gladiatorial arena.

For tweuty-lour years he has stood in the cham

Importers nt', and Dealers in Foreign and Domestic
HARDWARE,
The ignorant whites are just as much as the
South or even the Nortli can bear. When you
front of him in the aisle, upon one of the
steps, sits Mr. Robert Lowe, member from Caine.
He, also, is ot medium stature. His hair is
white, and so silvery that it fairly gleams in tlie
light pouring down from the center of the hall. ,
His face is florid and fair. There is vigor in his
every movement.
“Further up, at the Speaker’s left hand, on the
front bench, sits the leader of the opposition—
Mr. Gladstone, late Chancellor ol the Exchequer
—a man who has seen fifty-eight years of life,
but. who is yet in his prime, both of body and
mind. He, of ail others, is most likely to be
the next prime minister. He is tlie son of a
Liverpool merchant. In boyhood he began an
acquaintance with classical literature at Eton
and Oxford, nnd since graduation lias continued
it by a close study of Homer mid tho Homeric
age.
“When but twenty-five yenrs of age lie was
made a Lord of the Treasury, and from that
day to the present lie has been nearly all of the
time in public life—always on the liberal side.
He is a high churchman nnd was once cut up by
Macaulay, who reviewed with trenchant criticism
Mr. Gladstone’s book entitled "The State in its
Relation to the Church.
“He lias been a hard worker, and timo lias
left deep furrows on his brow.
“Across tlie table, at the Speaker's right baud,
sit the ministry—among them Mr. Disraeli, upon
whom all eyes are turned to-nigtil—for upon
what lie may have to say important issues arc
pending. He is four years the senior of Mr.
Gladstone, and is now sixty-two—a native ot
London—son of the author of ‘Curiosities of
Literature.’
“He sits there waiting till tlie resolutions be
recorded In the order of tlie day—his hands to |
liis forehead, fondling one stray lock of hair, his j
heavy eyelids drop as if he were asleep. Those I
who have overseen him in thecartoons of Punch j
need no further description of his general up- }
pearance. He is dressed in light-colored pant- j
loons and black frock coat and cravat."

rough education generally, having left such pn-
Bitions at home as would
jitions at home as would shame many ot tho
Southern ladies if they knew it, who, through a
Gnost ungenerous prejudice, look down upon
them.
J The ignorant wiiitcs of tlie Soutli are much
I more the objects of charity than the freedmen.—
|Thcy have been in a most deplorable and almost
Ihopeless condition for generations, their poverty
[precluding their owning any valuable property,
land there being no demand for common white
■labor. In addition to all the degradation ol tlie
■blocks, they are physically run down. The ne-
| gro, from continued labor, presents a magnificent
| physique, but the poor ignorant white has not
even this.
They live in the upper counties,owning general
ity a yery little poor land, and the most shiftless
|, i,me into market often a hundred miles, driving
la single steer or cow harnessed into a rodgh
It-itrt with perhaps a single bale of cotton, the
Iwbo'ls saleable proceeds of the year's work of a
■large family. Those better to do in the world
|will drive in a better steer and n mule tandem,
land those possessed of an abundance of the
Idlings of this world, as they consider it, will
come in with ft steer, mule and dinkey all at-
Inched to one cart, with perhaps three hales ot
■ cotton. , ..
| In regard to education they are little, if any
[better olf than the blacks; and in morals not
I much advanced The marriage relations are as
[often disregarded as observed, 1 am told. As an
| illustration ol their ignorance, a Northern gen-
[tloman, who had been residing in Fernadina,
[Florida, comparing notes with me, one day, in
[traveling, related this circumstance :
| One day mi elderly man, some seventy years
of age, and a girl came into an office, he was oc
cupying with a .luslieo ot the Peace, to be mar
I rieci. There was such a discrepancy in their
ages, the gentleman was quite shocked, and lelt
iUiis duty to inquire into the matter a little. He
I lound it however all riglitj it being a regular
love match. . ,
I After they were married, certificate made out,
| *c. he said, lie tried to impress upon them the
s icredness of the marital relations and vows.
Hud laid particular stress upon the certificate, (as
something tangible,) and exhorted them to prej
serve that inviolate “till death did them P art -
. Borne months after, he says, walking to this ot-
liee, be spied this old gentleman in the street,
driving tlie inevitable steer, and sealed in the
cart alone. lie could not resist the temptation
of speaking to him. The old gentleman was
pleated to see him, and at once told him that he
was just going to Ids olllce to have his marriage
| <• rtiiii ale changed. " That gal," said he, “ the
1 .justice jiued me ui has gone aud jiued herself to
another man, I remembering what you said
bout the stiOkit—how sacred "was, and all that,
him to be reading, so unvaried his tones. His |
arms drop by his side, then he clasps his bauds i
behind his back, places them once more on the I
table, then tolds liis arms, drops them once more, j
again throws them behind liis back, and then !
leans upon the table. These are Ids gestures.— !
Through the hour and a quarter of his talk there
is no graceful movement of arm, hand or finger
—no elegant poise of the body. You are re
minded ot a schoolboy upon the stage who does
not know wlmt to do with his hands. He has
also a see-sawing motion, bringing liis face well
down toward the table, as if Ins speech was
written on the solid oak, and then standing erect,
as if to give utterance to a firm conviction —
Then there is a hesitation—a holding of a word j
half uttered upon the lip, while searching for a i
term which will express not the most but the
least—a circumlocutory expression of how not
to do it.”

“With great suavity ot manner, witli clear

graces of oratory, and yet he is liartUy so cflec-
tivc a speaker as Mr. Bright. Such perfect de-
fereuce to gentility is fatal to directness of state
