The negro Bishop H. M. Tnrner,
well known in the south, and es-
pecially in Georgia, deliver'd a re
markable address in Boston last Mon
day.
Bishop Turner told his hearers very
plainly that lie was in favor of the
Itutler bill asking congress to appro
priate $50,000,000 to aid the negroes
to leave the south. He said that the
nation really owes the negroes about
$40,000,000,000 to compensate them for
their labor during slavery times, and
should appropriate that amount to
estabish them in a country of their
own. He has no faith in the future
of the negroes here, but admits that
they are getting along pretty well in
the south. In Georgia the bishop
feels as free as in Boston. He fears
that workmen from the north will
influence southern workmen so that
they will in time refuse to work with
the negroes, but he looks for no
