For the reason that wo wish to change

new, or as good as new, and in perfect
order. Onr circulation is the largest of

with one or two exceptions, the large t in

Hat can be greatly increased, and having
eo huge and so general a circulation, bhtli
in Georgia and Florida, it is a splendid
medium for advertising. It also has the
legal advertising, which, in the bends of a

after mature deliberation, if the question

S.ivam.ah, April C, 1875.
Editor Inilijienihnl :
When tlio war closed, and tlm slaves of i
I the Mouth were emancipated, the North,
| w Idle congratulating itself on the Union 1
RkktobED, had serious misgivings in t
grn and to the freed men. An l well they
i might, for, on examining the status of the
negroes in iheir own section, with the fa
eilities ot free schools, and everything
in common with tlm whtto population
| generally, to the cuudid and careful <J>-
server, there was nothing very encouraging
iu the prospect. The negro, North, with
limo to molest or make him afraid, hits al
ways been a vile and^wort Ulcus appendage
to society—not ut all to he depended upon
as a laborer, or even nought for cm tuck —
for his law, groveling, lazy and dissipated
propensities. What better could be ex
pected, then, of over 8,000,000, suddenly
set free and turned tonne upon communities,
some of which outnumbered the white
population ? To the Conservative element
North, it looked very much like turning
loose piliti/f, and iruftn, and iruntj and cull
ing into requisition those c:.sentiul places
'of security- the I’cUilelitinry and the
I'oor house.
“But,” said the Radical, "these very I
men have always dorm the labor in tlu ,
South the climate is suited to them -and
they will continue to do so—there is ee:-
tuiuly mi difficulty in the mutter.” In
this, they forgot their home experience
with the same race, and that iu the South,
while the negro is an essential sun laborer,
he amounts to little, us such, without a su
perior intelligence to guide and control
him. Placed in the most advantageouseir
i cmuKtnlK'cs, the nature id the luce to de
, generate into indolence and vice, is a tru
' ism not to he gniuaayed, unless n good
! anil wholesome reslraiiit is placed upon
' him to guide his actions. But the negro,
iHoiitli, was not the degraded, worthless
fellow lie is in the North, until he received
the tutaiuge aud encouragement of Radical
politicians. lie hurt been brought up by
the whites, who utfeuded to his every
want, in health and in sickness ; and,
though his freedom compelled nil alike to
look out for themselves, yet there were
ties between the two races, ties of old
friendships mid associations, that could
not he rudely ana, ped asunder. The “old
master” and the slaves were just as nece
sary to each other as ever, as employe!
and employee, under the new regime

who represented no great interest, im

to political science or economy, made vo
ters simply to bring into place and power
the most corrupt atid detestable villains
that ever shamed and disgrace and a govern

and vi'.o wretches from tin* North, who
were never respect oil at homo, came South
us “carpet baggers,” and men in the South,
(■'scalawags,’’) courted this negro vote,
and in many States, controlled it. Opera

blacks, and cajoling them against the
white population, the negro Ims ceased in
the South to he a trustworthy element of

friends North, that a few more years of
outrage upon the industrial interests of the
South by Radical misrule ad outlawry,
will convert emancipated slavery into a
barberisiu as great as in tiie land from
which the race was brought. In Georgia,
the people, whoso interests are identified
with that of their great State, have suc

the better condition of her negro popula

of a profligate governfuent, who fail in no
attempts to insult and lmrrass her, and
w ill never succeed in reaching the goal of
real prosperity until men are placed at the

From cuv Baltimore Correspondents.
Baltimore, Md., April 3, 1875.
Dear Major :
We are not dead, neither do we sleep. !
No doubt the renders of your Independent i
are rejoicing over the fact that your Haiti
more correspondents have censed to bore |
them with their uninteresting letters ; but
alas ! the unhappy mortals will find they !
have not surmised correctly, for, in the
language of the immortal Dan Rice, “here
we are again."
We imagine we hoar you in your quiot
sanctum, whispering at the top of your i
voice, what has become of them two fel
lers, Hayward and Diamond ? So wo seat
ourselves to answer the soliloquy.
Baltimore has lately been a huge icebox
—we have been completely frizzen up, aud j
are just melting, let*, measuring fourteen j
im’Uw.s, found in our harbor. It wusiblewn
away and com idered useless, but we nmy !
be compelled to pay fourteen cents an inch
for it before the summer is over. The ice
has long since been sent upon u mission to
the North Pole, and the spring trade has
again commenced in good earnest. Since
our last letter, the now Academy of Music,
one of our proudest improvements, lias
been completed, and is now iu nightly use.
The new (Jity Hail was-yesterday surren
dered to Mayor Vunsnnl and the city coun
cil. They were all out on the highest pin
nacle ol the dome last evening spying
around for the approach of the Fourth of
July. The massive building in course of
erection for the Young Mi n's Christian
Association, on N oth (diaries street, is
| nearly completed. When finished, it w ill he
j one of the most imposing structures in our
■ city. The H. & <)■ it. It. Company, and
: tlio N. C. It. It. Company, nro both vie
! ing with each other in creeling a couple
;of grand buildings. The principal hotels
have been renovated during the dull sea
son, and are now doing a flourishing bu
siness. The Midthy House, (\ 1. K. li.
Hogan, on West Pratt street, the resort of
Southern travelers, has been turned inside
out, and is now filled to completion. Col.
H agan knows how to keep a hotel, and has
nnulfi many warm friends, the majority of j
whom are from the sweet, sunny Koutli.—
You have no doubt hrard of Jin. McMahon
I jumping from the dome of the enpitol and
dying suddenly afterward. He was a friend
of ours. We are looking around for some
high place to jump from. We don’t stop
to trifle, us lie did. When we jump, it will
| be from a balloon, and yon will hear from
■ us. Our city has now an acquisition the
| need,of which Ims long been felt, in the
-hape of an evening paper —7 hr. Evening
IAW It is edit' dby Messrs. Hemnnge
j and Brener. The latter gentleman is Clerk
;of the Circuit Court of Baltimore. The
I iV-o rn was first started as a penny paper,
! but tlm demand bn its advertising columns
compelled its successful proprietors to
I double it in size. Mr. W. P. Moany, a
gentleman of rare journalistic talents, is
tins local editor of this s; icy little, paper.
One of your correspondents occupies the
position of u fellow who pokes his nose into
other people’s bilhino s. They call us ri -
porter*. We are promised n new postoOic
iu our city hy sonic of onr generous mem
bers of Congress, and wo hnv, been pa
tiently Waiting for Bell Butler to die, so
tlmt the hill might lie pl'ssCd without
Id, o idled.
When wo last saw the In of tend ent, it
was about th" suin' size, so, not wishing to
put you to the trouble of issuing an extra,
we will bring onr hurried letter to u close.
Hoping that the enclosed poem from the
General w ill, in a manner, atone for our
neglect in the past, add promising to be
more prompt, in the future, we drop a tear
as we sign ourselves, your frostbitten cor
respondents,

Querist.
A Case of Blood.
T. ,T. Miiliken, one of tho wealthiest
ujprchnnts in Sacramento, took for a se-
I coud wife a young octoroon. Film was
! very pretty, well educated, and her African
blood was Roaivly perceptible. The mar
riage was disfavored by die children of the
; tint wife, who would have no acquaintance
with their step-mother. A short time ago
Miiliken died. Having made no will, the
! octoroon wife could only claim the wife’s
! usual share of the property. Tho estate
■ was worth about a million dollars. The
i children are o litestiug her right to any
thing, basing their suit on the fact of Mrs.
Miiliken being part negro, the California
law declaring that “ all marriages between
white persons ami negroes or mulattoes
are illegal and void.” The evidt nee shows
that during the years of Mr. Millikan's
wedded life with this second wife she was
received in g aid society, although her
taint of blood was well known, and that
his affection and respect for her were sin
cere. The defence is that the law particu
larly designates “negroes and mulattoes ’
as ineligible for marriage with white per
sons, and that the wife in this instance
was neither, being only one-eigth negro,
A decision has not been reached.
“What Father Takes. —There is food
for thought in the story that is told of a
young lad who, for the first time accompa
nied his father to a public dinner. The
waiter asked him : “What will yon take
to drink?" Hesitating for a moment, ho
replied : “I'll take what father takes."—
The answer reached his father’s ear, aud
instantly the full responsibility of his posi
tion flashed upon him. Quicker than light
ning various thoughts passed through his
mind, and in a moment l.is decision was
made; and in tones tremulous with emo
tion, and to the astonishment of those who
were acquainted with him, he said : “Wait
er, I’ll take water.”

NORWOOD.
His Great Speech on Louisiana.
Henatoi Norwood’s speech on the Louis
iana question has been printed iu pam
phlet form, and merits a wide circulation.
W quote the concluding paragraphs,
which indicate the ability and eloquence
of the effort:
The President tells the people of Loiiis
iulm, "You must obey the law. ” Kellogg,
with "damnable reiteration,” like a praling
parrot, repent*, “obey the law," and Sen
ators rise and say the people of Louisians
must, "obey the law.” VVlmt law, Mr.
President, are the people of Lonisiana to
obey ? In 1872 they held nil election, nud
liy the report of your committee the can
didate of the Conservatives had the major
ity, and yet, through the order of a drunk
en Judge, the government of that State
was overthrown, and the President said,
“You must obey the law.” Kellogg
usurped the Governorship of that Htate,
and the President held him by force of
arms and said to the people of Louisiana
“Yon must obey the law.” 1 have shown
yon to-night that they have never resisted
a law of the United States; they have rais
ed no arm; they have not even raised a
voice except against the usurpation of
Gov. Kellogg. There submission haa been
more sublime than any hen.i in that was
■ ever displayed upon the field of battle.
I They have obeyed tlio law. They were
, encouraged and told last year ilu-y should
have a fair and honest election. They
J obeyed the law and held their election
1 peaceably and without intimidation, and it
is conceded jju:t the Conservatives carried
j the State hy sn overwhelming majority.
’ Kellogg organized his returning board. A
j majority ot twenty-nine ss overturned by
that hoard ; the Legislature was literally
j stolen from the Democrats, and Republi-
cans, defeated iu the election, were seated
hy Federal law pH, and yet the President
says, “ You must obey the law.”
The Senator from New York advises
them to go to work ; hut, says Bishop
Wilder, without contradiction, “theft of
the products of the soil became so general
the production had to be abandoned,"
' They worked and filled their coffers wifli
■ money to i donate whites and blacks, and
