Bishop Lynch's Lecture. —lit. Rev.
Bishop Lynch, of Charleston, S. C., w ill
deliver a lecture, at Concert HalJ, this
evening, at the invitation of a number
of our citizens, for the benefit of the
orphans of South Carolina.
The Bishop is a native of South
Carolina, and is a learned and eloquent
divine, loved and respected by nil who
know him. His mission is one of
charity, and the object of his lecture one
which appeals to all classes and to all
creeds. It will, therefore, be liberally
attended. The Bishop has recently de
livered a lecture in Atlanta, ior the
benefit of the poor of that city ; and was
subsequently invited by a committee, of
which Governor Brown was a member,
to deliver another for the benefit of the
orphans of South Carolina, which he did.
Both of these lectures were largely
atteuded, and liberally received.
The subject for this evening is one of
historical interest, and iu tbe hands oi
so eminent a student of history, and so
agreeable a lecturer, as Bishop Lynch,
will be rendered doubly interesting.
Stovall’s Family Flour. —We ate
indebted to Captain Thomas P. Stovall,
of the ‘‘Excelsior Mills,’’ for a sack of
his Doable Extra Family Flour. We
have made ourselves familiar from
every day use, with the general excel
lence of the Flour manutactmed at the
“Excelsior” Mills,Tut the sample just
received is, if possible, better than any
we have before used. It is from the
very best selected v. ! ; v heat, and
possesses all the <|tollies that can be
desired, in color, tu.-to, and adaptation
to family use. Captain Stovall not
only claims that it is unsurpassed by
any of home manufacture, but he confi
dently places it against the best brands
in the country.
The Flour interest is an important
one in our City, and, we are pleased to
know that the repntafiOu of the Flour
manufactured here is widely acknowl
edged.
The Miltonian Tableaux. —Very
respectable and appreciative audiences
have already witnessed the Miltonian
Tableaux, now on exhibition at Concert
Hall, in this City. The entertainment
is of great beauty and attractiveness,
and as a work of art reflects the highest
credit upon the artist whose production
it is. The ideas of the j>oet are hand
somely and effectively portrayed, and
the interest of the beholder is enlisted
from the commencement to the close ol
the Panorama.
That of the Apocalypse is also iin
attractive pnnoramu, and is justly ad
mired.
'I be descriptive part of the entertain*
raent is given in a clear and pleasing
way, by a gentleman well qualified for
the duty, and who intersperse his lec
ture with appropriate airs on the rnclo
dian.
Those who have not seen these paint
ings should avq'd themselves of the
earliest opportunity. ' Those who have
already aeta theft will need norecommen.
datiou to go again J they will do so of
their own accord.
Trunks anu Values, —If you want
a good trunk, valise, or carpet bag,
go to M. Cohelt’a.
County Court. —There will be an
c«U« swutiou of the .County Court held
on Monday next. 11th last., fa* the pur
pose of trying prisoners confined in jqii,
—there being a good many. I‘rosec*-
tors, witnesses, and jurors will take,
notice. We understand that there
no civil cases tried. The criminaF
docket will he taken up ion Tuesday
wonting. On Monday, the Grand Jury
will aqjujip jbe various Jjill&.uf unlicl
utent to 1t« laid before them.
Recorder's Court. —There were but
two case* in this Court yesterday morn
ing. The first was an 18th section case,
in which the party tried was accused Os
playing in the wroug key—Whia-keyvL
aml tor bis discordant notes was churged
the costs of court.
The second was * band— not * Gid
eon’s Bund”—of street musicians, two
of whom ‘‘played upon n harp of a thou
sand strings,’’ (more or less, without
“the spirits of just men made perfect,”)
another on a flute and another on a
violin, all without having taken out a
license, were required to take out said
license and pay costs, whereupon they
went on their way rejoicing, to discourse
sweet music to delighted audiences.
Two other 18th sectiou cases were fined
$2.50 each.
Errata.— Errors will occur in the
best regulated printing offices, and
hence wa seldom deem it necessary to
correct the freaks of the types which
occasionally deface our columns. But
several errors occurred in the letter] ot
‘•Oglethorpe,” yesterday, which were
especially mortifying. In the last line
of the second paragraph, the word stick
should have been rich, and in the next
to the last paragraph, the word modifi
cation should have been mortification,
“ The Dark Suje of the Pictuke.”—
“De white folks always sey dat de
Debbil was a black niggah.” “ Now, I
node, all de time, it wasn’t so; I node
he was a white man; and bress your
soul 1 es you’ll jis go to de panorama of
• Paradise Loss’ you’il see if it ain't de
blessed trufe 1 Ay golly, but dat's a
good picter, to be sure!’’
That was no doubt a great consolation
to the indignant freedman.
The American Farmer. —The Feb
ruary number of this valuable and in
teresting agricultural' monthly has been
received. It contains a great deal of
special jinterest to the farmer and
planter. The American Farmer is ihe
oldest agricultural publication in the
United States, and is published monthly,
in Baltimore, Maryland, by Washington
& Lewis, at $2 per annum.
Lectures for the Benefit of the
Poor. — It is stated that the gentlemen
who got up the late masquerade ball,
are making arrangements to secure a
series of lectures for the benefit of the
poor of the City. Dr. btophenson, Ma
jor Withers, Major J. B. Jennings, Cap
tain M. J. O'Brien, and F. 11. Miller,
Esq., have been selected as a commit
tee of arrangements, and they expect to
secure lectures from a number of dis
tinguished gentlemen, during the next
few weeks. Among those who are
named in this connection are Gen. R.
E. Lee and John R. Thompson, of
Virginia, Bishop Lynch, of Charleston,
and several eminent gentlemen ot our
own State.
The design of the Committee in thus
combining the holy office of charity
with the high intellectual enjoyment
which these lectures will afford, is most
happy and commendable, and we ear
nestly hope that nothing will prevent
the realization of their beniliceut pur
poses. ~ * t ,•
Population, p»‘ Alabama. —The New
York Tribu we says : “Alabama has just
taken a State .census, and reports a total
population of 945,244, whereof 442,445
are blacks. In 18(i0 she had 964,296, of
whom 435,132 were slaves. It .is evi
dent that her blank inhabitants are just
about as numerous as in 1860, while her
whites are hut 20,000 fewer. We infer
from this that the Southern States have
generally nearly, if not quite as many
inhabitants now as in 1860, and will
have more in 1870. The stories that the
blacks are “dying out” seem not to be
sustained. A good many of theft have
migrated northward or been taken to
Texas; but they will number at least
four million in 1B70.”
The War Cloud in Europe. —The
latest Cable dispatches announce that
war is imminent between Turkey and
Russia. /Active military preparations
are being made by Turkey, aud also by
Greece and Russia. All forts and mag
azines on the frontier are being placed
in readiness for any emergency, and
there seems no probability ihat either
of the disputants will recede from the
position they have taken. What influ
ences may be brought to bear by other
European nations to prevent the con
flict remains to be seen ; but it is not
likely that either France or England
will lend their assistance to Turkey
again, especially since that nation is
acting rather on the aggressive. It is
a mautfr, howtWer,- of general import
ance to Europe that Russia shall not
be allowed to control the navigation of
the Mediterranean, as would be the
case were Copstantinople to fall into
Russian possession.
Mail RobbEkh Cauob*. —-Two ne
groes and a white boy were arrested in
Lynchburg, the other day, ou suspicion
of robbing the mails. One of the ne
groes had been employed about the
office as porter. T hey bod about them
various packages of money, among
which Were $230 in notes of the Bank
of Hamburg, 8. C., which had been
mailed by Miller & Franklin to a bank

Letter* from an Ex-Rfbel, to
Hon. Horace Greeley and Her.
Henry Ward Beeoher.
NUMBER it.
Sirs : The powerful political party to
wliielj you belong iqqiati that tljyse
States shall, coufer upon all tiegroea who
are a|er twenty ope year* of age tbe
rjgltl to partippyt* in tbe «iactnjeqt of
tluiluftvllic feboitui of public offunr*.
the imposition and distribution of tuxes,
the expenditure of the public money,
and all the mass ol subjects which enter
into and compose the idea of Republi
can government. A refusal to do this is
denounced as rebellion, and a denial of
the assumption that the negro is quali
fied to discharge so greqt a trust is de
clared to- be coneluaive evidence of our
determination to treat the race with in
justice and cruelty. The freedmen can
never be adequately protected until they
are clothed with political power by
which they can protect themselves, is the
axiom upon which your party proceeds
to solve the intricate problem which it
has undertaken.
You, at the North, can afford to treat
this question op principles of pure sen
timentality and experimental philan
thropy, because its practical effect upon
your social and political system would
be, hardly greater than if you were to
pass a law conferring citizenship, and
the right of suffrage, on the subjects ol
the Imaum of Muscat, or of the Prince
of Monaco. But to us, the question is
quite different in all it bearings, con
siderations, mid application. With,us,
the negro population is nearly equal in
number to the whites, in all the "rebel
Stales,” and in two of them (South
Carolina aud Mississippi), according Jo
the census of 1860 the blacks were
more numerous than the whites. You
know, and you cannot deny, that were
a qualification of intelligence or educa
tion attached tp the right to vote,' not
one in five hundred of the emancipated
slaves would be found to possess ft.
You know that the negroes are brutally
ignorant. You know that in intelligence
they are barely rational. You know
that they do not comprehend, and are
not guided by the requirements of
morals and religion. You know that
their previous condition of unqualified
dependence on the wjll of another —fed,
clothed, tended, t raiisl'erred from place
to place, by the unquestionable authority
of their master, and without the slightest
exercise of their own will, makes them
as incapable of intelligent judgment
now, as a than would he incapable of
accurate and keen vision who, after
being immured all his life in a dark cell,
was suddenly brought into the light of
the sup, at noon, and commanded Jo see
clearly. Yon may wish that the negroes
were all intellectually bright, morally
pure, and religiously pious. You may
wish that they should possess all the
advantages of a liberal education. But
your benevolent wishes can not realize
themselves, or alter the facts, no more
than they can alter the color of the
African’s skin or straighten the texture
of his hair.
Tlfe mass ol negroes are ignorant,
improvident, incapable of mental effort,
and helplessly dependent on the white
man in everything that elevates the
rational being above the rest of the
animal creation. Time, education,
and judicions cultivation, may, and
doubtless will, develop in them the
faculties which are essential to healthy
independence, and will teach them self
reliance and the social duties which
freedom has devolved upon them. But
this must be the work of time. No legis
lative decree can effect it, no more than
it can alter their physical structure or
develop their muscular strength. There
ate exceptions. There are intelligent
negroeg, of good sense, sound judgment,
and accurate moral perception, who
might safely be entrusted to-day with
the right to vote. But you know that
they do not constitute one in every five
thousand of the black population, and
that they serve by marked contrast to
illustrate more forcibly the mental and
moral inferiority of the remaining mil
lions. ‘
You say that their mental inferiority,
ignorance, and moral blindness are the
results of the barbarous system of slavery,
and that those who are accountable
tor this condition must pay the
penalty of their own crime. Do' you,
then, propose to give the negroes power
which yon believe they are unfit to ex
ercise, in order to punish those to whom
you a'tribute their deficiencies, and not
because you,consider the freedmen ca.
pable of a judicious and beneficent ex
ercise of the privilege with which you
seek to endow them?
Does your experience of universal
suffrage in your own city of New York,
where white ignorance, immorality, cor
ruption, and incapacity practically con
trol the government, and are the con
stant themes of your just denunciation,
warrant you in requiring that we should
voluntarily abandon our government to
black ignorance, immorality,corroption,
and incapacity? Do the examples of
Jamaica, St. Domingo, and Ilayti, where
negroes have long controlled the gov
ernment, justify you, as honest, consci
entious men, hi condemning us for hesi
tating to inflict a similar curse upon the
country which we inhabit, and wbieh we
claim the right to govern? Is it just
for you, who will be only indirectly af
fected by the experiment, and who have
yourselves refused to endow the few
hundred negroes who are scattered-over
your immense country with the unquali
tied right to vote, to compel us to allow
a million of negroes, tire slaves of yes
terday, to control our legislative, judi
cial, executive, municipal, social, and
industrial system, knowing, as we do,
that they are incapable of comprehend
ing the most aim pis of the duties which
such a privilege would impose upon
them ? •
•< i '*•><•
You say that we are prejudiced against
the that we estimate his capacity
unjustly; that we wish to hold him iu
social and political subjection. It this
were literally true, which it is not, do
you thiuk that an act of Congress to be
enforced by bayonets can obliterate these
prejudice*; or prevent the commence
ment of an antagonism of face*, the ter
rible consequences of which it is Impoi
silde to tfegpribe ? Is it not infinitely
wiser, iu the interest of both races, to
allow time to conquer prejudice, improve
the intelligence and capacity of the
blacks, and leave to our judgment, good
sense, mid self-interest, their political
and social elevation ?
As a measure of punishment to be
inflicted by a conqueror on his sill jeets.
the grant of universal suffrage to the
tp nitons of semi barbarous blacks,
would be complete in its atrocious
cruelty, and would rapidly consummate
the desolation which war has failed to
bring upon this section. But as a
measure of policy, reconstruction, or
jlistife, to either whites or blacks,
human folly can be guillv of no grosser
or more fatal blunder.
We are ready and willing to educate
the freeJman and aid in his enlighten
ment and qualification for higher and
greater responsibilities. We have
clothed him with legal equality to ena
We him to protect his rights of person
and property. We are resolved to treat
him liberally, generously and justly. But
never can we be brought voluntarily to
consent thatheshall he invested with polit.
ical power until he shall acquire the qual
ifications for a trust so vitally importan ,
and which has been already too widely
and unguardedly conferred. You may
call this rebellion, but we consider it
self preservation, which is the first law
of nature. Xyi.on.

Swearing* of Editors. In the
Wheeling Senate, on Monday last,
Mr. Farnsworth offered the following:
lieso'ved, That the Committee on
the Judiciary be instructed to inquire
into the expediency of requiring the
editors and publishers of newspapers in
this State to take the test oath.
Destruction of Cotton. —During
the last fortnight we have recorded the
loss by fire of 3,900 bales ot Cotton, in
a Columbus, Ga., warehouse, and of
4,176 bales, by the burning of three
steamers. This makes 7,107 bales of
Cotton so destroyed in that time, the
value of which was at least $1,021,-
820.50.
It is stated that John Morrisey has
‘‘gone up” financially. His losses on
Cumberland Coal stock were over $400,-
000, though there is no evidence that
this loss alone caused his failure. He
will have to get hold ot some Congres
sional “corner” to recuperate.
The Supply of Tobacco.— The total
amount of tobacco annually produced
throughout the world is estimated as
follows: Asia, 309,900,000 pounds ;
Europe, 281,844,500; America, 248,-
280,500; Africa, 24,3000,000; Austra
lia, 714,000, making in all 905,039,000
pounds.
Prominent Generals at Washing
ton. — A Washington correspondent
alludes to the presence in that city of
Gens. Sickles, Pope, Geo. H. Thomas,
Schofield, and T. J. Wood, and General
Sheridan was expected on Tuesday.
They are said to have been summoned
there in connection with various investi
gations going on belore the Congres
sional Committee,
The Cental System. —The Cincin
nati Chamber of Commerce has passed
very emphatic resolutions endorsing the
cental system, which has been adopted
by the principal cities of the North, and
is to go into operation on the Ist of
March next. This is along step toward
the much needed decimal system of
weights and measures. The cental is
one hundred pounds of anything ; and
weights will, hereafter, be reckoned in
centals and pounds instead of bushels,
pecks, quarts, &c. In accordance with
this system the weight of the barrel of
fionr, on recommendation of the Buffalo
Chamber of Commerce, will, hereafter,
be two centals (net) instead of 196
pounds. Those who remember what a
task it was to learn how many pounds
of anything make a bushel, will not re
gret the abolition of so uncertain a
standard.
The State of Spain. —Accounts
from Spain are anything but cheering,
and a Madrid correspondent writes that
arrests liavo not ceased for nearly two
months, and are being continued at this
moment with such determination that
the sentiments of many Mayors and
Cures are shocked at it, especially in the
principality of Catalonia. These re
spectful manifestations have drawn down
upon their authors, in the official bulle
tin of the provinces, an order from the
Captain General,saying, “It is expressly
forbidden to deliver certificates of good
conduct to any person arrested, unless
it should have been applied for through
the military authority,”- The forts of
Caiiente, Mahon, and Carthagena are
full of suspected persons, who are sent
off to the colonies as fast as the trans
ports arrive. The most dreadful atroci
ties are being perpetrated by the au
thorities all over Spain.
