Northern Vlewe of the Negro.
Northern opinions of the negro have
undergone a radical chango daring the
past ten years. The fanciful pictures
of the negro which abolitionist enthu
siasts drew before the late war and
which demagogues utilized since and
made the common property of the
masses of Northern poopie have given
place to others which, if not correct,
are much nearer the truth.
This change has been brought about
to a large extent by reason of tbe fnct
that the negro in politics has cruelly
disappointed his Northern admirers,
and the further fact that Northern peo
ple in lar, e numbers have within the
past few years visited the South and
studied the negro for themselves
At the close of the war, Northern
politicians, in order to retain power,

Tbe Incident provoked a conversation
with a distinguished Federal general,
who, along with Sherman, went
“marching through Georgia.” Ac
cepting Frof. Gilliam’s figures, he ap
prehends that the negroes will in time
overran and gain entire control of tho
South, and willthreaten the North with
the same calamity. He said that be

believed that the race would die
out rapidly under emancipation,
and were really doing the best thing to
get rid of it in the quickest way. Tills

who study the great unsolved problem.

The Tei-eorahi is wrong in the im

of tho Metropolitan n few days
since was so warm and cordial
to suggest a partnership; at least it
gave evidence that the old comrade
ship was still as warm between them
when in 1880 Colquitt fixed the yoke
oi the coalition ring upon the necks of
the people of Georgia, and Col. Jack
commanded the Chasseurs d’Afriqne
in Southwest Georgia.

The attempts of various journals in
