Jell Unti* on the Future of the South
ern Blacks, and Fcnianipiin.
From the recent work by Surgeon
Craven entitled the “Prison Life of
Jefferson Pavis.” we extract his views
on the question of negro emancipation
and its results, and the late abortive
invasion of Canada in behalf of Ire
land •’
Mr, Pavis referred to an account
he bad been reading of an attack on a
negro named Davenport, in Connecti
cut, for marrying or living with a white
woman. Also to the New York riots,
in which mobs rose suddenly upon the
blacks, hanging them to lamp posts
and roasting them at slow fires. The
papers bore evidence, from all sections,
of increasing hostility between the
races, and this was but part of the
penalty the poor negro had to pav for
freedom. The more political equality
was given or approached, the greater
must be the. social antagonism of the
races.
In the South, under Slavery, there
was no such feeling, because there
could be no rivalry, Children of the
white master were often suckled by
negroes, and sported during infancy
with black playmates . Old enough to
engage in’ manlier exercise, it was un
der.black huntsmen the young whites
took, their first lesson in field sports. —
They fished, shot and hunted together,
eating the same bread, drinking Iron)
the same cup, sleeping under the same
tree with their negro guide. In-pub
lic conveyances- there was no social
exclusion of the blacks, nor any dis-i
like engendered by competition be
tween white and negro labor.
In the bedchamber of the planter’s
daughter it was common for a negro
girl to si ep as half attendant, half
companion ; and while there might be,
as in all countries, and among all races,
individual instances of'cruel treatment,
ho was well satisfied that between no
master and .laboring classes on earth
had so kindly and regardful a feeling
subsisted. To suppose otherwise re
quired a violation of the known laws
of huL’iau nature. Early associations
of servict, action and support were
powerful. -To these self-interest join
ed. The horse hired for a day may
be fed or not fed, grcom’ed qr not
gropmed, when returned to the stable.
The horse owned by us, and for whicii
we I ave paid a thousand or fifteen
hundred dollars, is and olject both of
pride and solicitude. His grooming,
stabling and feeding arc cared for. If
sick, he is doctored, and cured if pos
sible. When at work it is the owner’s
interest that he shall not be over
taxed. •
The attainment of political equali
ty by the negro will, revolutionized all
this. It will be as if our horses were j
given the right ot intruding into our i
parlors, or biought directly into com- \
petition with human labor, no longer |
aided it but a$ rivals. Put large gangs !
of white laborers, belonging to differ- j
ent nationalities, at woik beside each
other, and feuds v. ill probably break 1
out. Endeavor to supplant a thousand
Irishmen working on a levee or canal ‘
by a thousand Germans ready to ac
cept lower wages, or vise versa, and
military power will he required to keep
‘the peace.- Emancipation does this
upon a gigantic scale, and the most
aggravated form. It throws the whole
black race into direct and aggressive
competiton with the laboring classes
of the whites, a fid the ignorance cf the
blacks presuming on their freedom,
will embitter the difference- The
principle of compensation prevails
everywhere, through nature, and the
negroes will have to pay, in harsher
social restrictions and treatment, for
the attempt to invest them wit! politi
cal equality. To endow them with
the ballot by act of Coagress was im
possible, until the trunk of the Con
ptitution, already stripped of maDy
branches once full of shade and pleas
ant singing birds, was torn up by the
roots Each State had the privilege
of deciding the qualifications of its
own c tizens ; and Some of the States
most clamorous for universal negro
suffr'ge in the South where such a
measure would send unlettered blacks
to hot!. Ilou-es of Congress, and pass
the State Legislitures and judiciary
altogether into their hands, themselves
refused the ballot to the negro, though
not numerous enough in any district
to decide the majority ot a pound
keeper.
The present Fenian movement for
Iteland was a farce to make angels
weep The last attempt was made
in IS4B, when the population of Ire
land was more than a mdlion larger—
the movement originated at home, and
all Europe in a convulsive and volcan,
ic condition. History gave no example
of an oppressed race that hud accepted
exile returning with success to liberate
their native land. The aristocratic
lefugees of the French Revolution
indeed got back to their country, hut
only under the swords of a ec mbination
in which England, Austria, Russia,
Prussia, and the German States were
enlisted, with their whole military re
sources. It was a mere catch penny
clamor of designing demagogues in its
cis-Atlantic aspect; nor could he see
that in Ireland there was au organiza
tion or even a vigorous purpose to
accomplish the object proposed.—
England’s control of the seas was
absolute, at least so near home, against
any less combination than the natives

of France and Austria. To land men
in any sufficient quantity, in Ireland !
would require desperate sea fights by
navy with nfivy, and a transport fleet
costing for vessels and their equip
ments no less than some hundred
millions. .The men engaged in this
business are either rogues or fools.—
He had no special cause to love En- I
gland, nor dislike; but such imprac
ticable'and pigmy threaten.ngs of her .
empire would be ludicrous’ if not too
sad. Against the rocks of her coast
storm clouds of a thousand fi Id. the
Fenian power had dashed with clamor
of waves and mist of spray, but next’
morning the sun shone bright again,
the air was calm, and only in a shore
strewn with wrecks could evidence
be found of any past commotion. •

When Napoleon Bonaparte died on
the prison rock of St. Helena, at the .
time he breathed his last and tor hours
after his death, one of the most , tre
mendous storms, that ever swept the
face of land or sea was fiercely raging.
Dark clouds -draped the canony of
lleaven like a funeral pall, while the
struggling winds, with dread and
mournful sounds, seemed to give ex
pression to • paroxysms of grief and
agony. Vast waves thundered furi
ously against the rockbound shores of ‘
the lonely Island, as.if they sought to
tear it from, its adamantine base.—■
Scorching lightnings • shivered the
granite . crags, and high above the
wails of the tempest and crash of this
awlul elemental strife came the boom-’
ing of signal guns from vessels in
distress, as they were whirled through,
the darkness of that night and the
dangers of that sea down to destruction.
Amid such scenes as these the soul of
Napoleon took its flight. -Supersti
tion did not fail to connect as causa
and effect the death of such a great
man and the coincidence of such a
storm. The friends of the imprisoned
and exiled Emperor saw in this hur
ricane a manifestation of Heaven’s
anger and vengeance at the conduct of
his enemies and the inhumanity of his
jailor. Certain if is, that this remark
able tempest was. not without its effect
upon the mind and conscience of
f ] udson. Lowe. .. •’ ‘ ‘
ir Jefferson Da.vis, like’ Napoleon’
Bonaparte, shall die in. prison,', we
know not whether there will ho a
physical storm simiia.” to. this to herald
his entrance into eternity, • arid strike
terror into the hearts of his enemies.
But this we know—that tl e death of
such a man in prison, after the world :
now knows what he has suffered, will j
arouse a moral storm which will sweep
fi-om the centre to the’ circumference j
of Christendom, and pillory to shame 1
forever on the page of history the
actors in the dark tragedy of Fortress
Monroe, The Death of Davis in pris
on will be an indignant theme before
which the deeds, of the. Inquisition, j
and the crimes of the Bistile, and the I
murders of London Tower, and the !
horrors of the Austrian Dungeon, will
grow radiant with the light of justice
and mercy. It will be in va : n, then, !
to place the burden of such a sin on
Miles alone. He may alone be the 1
guilty party ; but the name, fame and
reputation of the American people, as
represented by the blood-hound party
in power, will have to reel and stagger
under the gigantic infamy, never to
be relieved by death or burial in obliv
ion. No penance, will then atone for
the treatment of Mr. Davis, f r the
world will only recollect Ills virtues
and his, injuries. For the Radical
party there will then be eternal shame
and degradation, and for Miles there
will be peace and happiness neither
here nor hereafter. Wherever he
may go, conscience will lash him with
her scorpion sting, and the hissings of
the universe will follow him. In the
song of every bird he shall hear, ‘‘Oh !
the shame, the shame and in the
rustle of every leaf breathed upon by
the summer’s softest zephyr he shall
hear tl.c harsh rattb of the nmnaclcs
and the | iteous moans of his victim. —
Will he travel by seat’ Then a spec
tral form from Hampton Roads will
haunt his imaginations and fill his
dreams, clothing the crest of each wave
with a winding sheet and shouting
vengeance in the foam of each bil
. low.
We repeat, if Jefferson Davis shall
die in prison, let all amenable for it
psepare to meet a tempest and deluge
of wrath and shame, such as never
i before avenged a deed of wrong to the
living or the dead.

THE. CONFIDENCE GJtHKE l.\
CINCINNATI.
Blow Ihr Bnuki'r Cot ‘•Siiot.”
The latest and most magnificent
swindle that has transpired in Cincin
natti foi many years, has just come to
light. The following are the particu
lars as near as we ‘are .able to ascer- ,
tain ;
A short time sT.ce a well dressed
and el lerly looking gentleman, pre
sented himself at the counter of the
Third National hank, and asked the
privilege of depositing for safe keeping
an iron box, which the depositor claim
ed to count in 820,000 in gold. The j
appearance of the gentleman presenting
the box, and the heaviness oi the box
itself, carried to the mind of the re
ceiver of the bank a fairness, and he 1
took in charge the ‘box of gold’ as a
special deposit held at the risk of the j
owner. The box in the safe, of course,. 1
became known to all the officers of the j
bank, and they congratulated them- |
selves that they had been selected as
the custodians of so valuable a treasure.
Days passed on and the ‘box of gold’
remained uncalled for, until a few days
ago the gentleman who deposited the
box drew on the bank a draft for a
considerable amount of money which
amount rumor on Third street places
at SSOOO. The ‘box of gold’ Was
again lifted and eternally examined,
| and its weight induced the bank to
! cash the draft which was drawn upon
them, believing that the ‘box of gold’
was ample security for the amount of
; the draft
Soon after the payment of the draft
the officers began to entertain a fear
: that ‘all was not well,’ and they again
I concluded to examine the aforesaid
box. They sent for Schroder, the
, locksmith, and the box was opened
and found to contain, instead of that
j precious dust of California, the pure
gold, only the probable weight in shot,
regular*buckshot ! The bankers saw
the extent of their swindle, and the
security for the amount of the draft
paid, in point of value fell below
zero.

there is no doubt at its passage .by the j

The . fickleness of fortune, is well
illustrated .in the experience of u
worthy family in- -, this city, who have
suddenly found themselves raised from
that condition .in society where people
ale said to live in ‘“circumstances,” t >
the highest pinnacle x>F wealth. The
facts are these.} Mrs. Eli Walker, resi
ding at *No. .100 Maple avenue, is a
woman of English birth Her husband
who is a mechanic by trade, and her
dclt- haver- sided here for a i umber of
years, and.have several children.
. It was reported some- months ago
that a.large property valued at thirty
five million -of dollars,’ had fallen to
Mrs Walker's father, a* a.direct heir,
and'lie being’ dead, that the whole
amount belonged .to her as Ivis only
child. . Steps were art once taken : to
a certain, the truth-of this report, and
ex-Governor T. 11. Seymour-was. em
ploy'! and. t > investigate, . The result of
• liis investigation is entirely favorable to
Mrs. Walker, documents having been
‘received which show beyond question
Chat she will come in possession of this
immense property, and she, together
with'-her husband-and .children, will
•start lor England-next week to receive
the golden egg. •
It LS said that* U| on a Full sc'tlc.iii
•Os all mat'ers connected-with tliis most
extraordinary “stteak- .of hi.A,.Mrs.
Walker will return, to Hartford and
make her permanent.’ residence here,
liu'mer hath it that she trill erect up
on some eligible sift a magnificent
mansion,, following the. style of ilio.
grand villas and castles of Merry En
gland, .which shall excel in grandeur
the most costly of American palaces.-
• Santa A nna .Aceo-rdtng to the
Ti.ibune; G.cn. Santa Anna has <Blo,*
600,000’ on.deposit in the Bank of En
gland. He proposes to establish anew
and stable-government in Mexico, with
a’ constitution and laws, republican in
•form, with the Church for its head.
One of the essential conditions is how
ever, a complete assertion of principles
and interest between the United States
and .Mexico, upon the following basis :.
The United States to advance to him
(Santa Anna) one’ million of dollars
and three thousand ‘men, in return
for which he swears eternal gratitude
to the American nation, and give it ia
security certain - “Mexican proviiict
and territories.. This- contract once
scaled, .Gen. Santa Anna wilt its roe- -
d'ately start for Maximilian, where his
presence, his men and his million wilt
‘cfeaic. quite an enthusiasm. According
to his own statement, the church will
take him by the hand, the army will
prostrate itself- at his feet, and the
best-part-of the.'Liberal party, renounc
ing- its present leaders, will form an
intimate alliance. As the Imperialists
who stick to. Maximilian, not through
‘love, hut through fear and compulsion
.they will be too happy to place the
j Government under the protection of
the General and to abandon a cause
that is without dignity and strength in
the present or prospective future.
