Iwagriding along on the rail
day, when we stop
- ped.at a station and 2 colored
~ Msourshion” got on and scttled
down all around me. They were
~well dréssed and well behaved, but
when' the “conductor came along
;tftefitic‘}téts tWo ot them had no
-~ tickets and no titoney. He stopped
»_{lfimt\i;&i\hn in the woods and put
* them off. I was sorry for tne ras
pals, for they did want to go so
bad. lasked some of the crowd
why they didn’t Jend thenmi some
money, und they showed their
pearly teoth and said : “We knows
_ dem niggers ; dey nebber pay back.
Dem nigger’s like a broke bank——}
a6y owes ébeiybody now. Dey just
{tyin’ o slip ana sfide along, tink
fle conductor no find ‘em. You
know, boss, dar is dlways some
theep among de goats.” Well,
there are, and sometimes I think
the darkey expressed it right,
though he didp’t mean it. There
are a power of goats in this sublu
nary world, and if it was not fora
few sheep scattered, goclety and
law and order would be in a bad
fix.~ ;
. But I like the nigger. I like him
better than I did yi:ars ago.
g Gan look back
» ';nd remember what he was soon
after the war, and I dln satisfied ho
is improving. He works botter and
s more respectful, He has almostl
~_qguit politics and settled down to
his’ natural condition. I ;don’fl
know so well about the fowns and;
cities, but the countiy niggers are
- doing very .well where they are
mixed up,with white folks in the
right. proportion, Most all nigge:e
are good,fiaturgdi, and love to de
pend on the wlite man, butthe
white man must treat. him fairly
and kindly, and actnot only like
o master but _a friend. - The negro
is comscigus of his inferiority and
is content with it. He likes a man
svho orders htm around in a digni
fied way better: than .a apan who
puts himself Jon an equality with
him. The avhite man-was born to
'commandfhd the negio knows it.
The whife mapi ranks him, and
rank is.a. thing: . recognized and
submitted everywhere, -and has
been iy all ages; afid -it is. right.
Rank is the fafc. guard ofithe so

creatite and a public nuisance.
The colored colleges are turning
out "4 smayt set e%’éry year, but
where are thev and what are they
doing? - The men are-vagabonds,
and the womaén are—well, ask any
body who knows. A man said to
me not Jong ago that the fact that,
the negro was capable of a high
order of education was proof en=
ough that they ought'' to Rave it,
There was an educated hog on ex
hibition in Rome some years ago,
and he could spell your name yith
cards, and tell the time of day on
a wateh. ‘So T suppose we ought
to set up all the hogs in a school
house. Now, the negro is a dis
tinet creation of the Almighty, and
has original traits and instincts ag
all'the unmixed nations have. He
loves the present good, and has no
morbid desire to accumlate riches.
Unlike the white man he rarlly
cheats or swindles anybody. Cheat
ing, 'swindling, overreaching, de
ceiving is the sin of jour race—the
foundation of all the civil suits in
our courts—but the negroes don’t
doit. They aré more sinning a
gainst than sinning in that regard.
The white man will steal on alarge
scale ifhé is mican enough to steal
at all. The more he gets the better
satisfied he is. But'a negro wont. He
wouldent ¥ob a bank. If he found
a pocketbook with a big roll of
money in it he would take it to
some white man; but he would
pick up little things like 4 chick
en, or a bushel of corn, or a dollar,
or a breastpin with a serene and
peaceful conscienice. Small pilfer
ing is the extent of his capacity
and the extent of his inclination,
When my darky finds a hen’s nest
and brings 'me half the eggs I
thank him. When our cook hides
away a little flour Mrs. Arp says
nothing, for =it hurts = their
feelings go bad to be accused when
they are guilty., ;
But for hard work, contented
work, >humble work, who could
take their places on the farms and
on the drays, and the steamboats
and the railroads? Who would do
the white man’s bidding with so
little ; murmuring and so much
cheerfulness? . The negro is still an
mportant factor in our southern:
homes jand southern industries,
and I hope he will remain. He is
grafted on to the southemn tree,
Other natious have been.wransplan
ted, and live and - prosper, Thei
Jews, like the mistletoe, fasten and
feed upon every .tree, but they
have preserved -their habits, their
religion and their nationality. Then ‘
let the negro alone. My faith is that
a wise Providence will taxe care of
bim and of us.—BriLL Arp, in At
lanta Constitution. |

ed, went into the house of his em
ployer, Col. Willis, ajyoung lawyer
who had previously befriended
him. Finding Mrs. Willis nourish
ing her baby, he grasped it from
her, threw it violently against the
wall, nearly killing it, and seizing
the woman around the waist, made
a desperate assult which shé des
perately resisted. Her sereams
’brought assistance,when the would
}bc ravisher fled. Bands of excited
men at once set out in pursuit of
the scoundrel, and for several days
searched in vain. The excitement
which existed was ‘most intense
After several days the tyretch was
found and notwithstanding the
strong desire to lynch himi then

‘his trial. But the feeling of the peo
ple was too intense to admit of
delay. Women demanded protec
tion from their husbands and bro
thers against these repeated at
‘tacks upon theni, This evening 200
determined men surrounded the
jail=not law-breakers nor thought
less—Dbut the solid men of the coun
ty. They demanded and obtained
the body of Coachman, and plac

ed him to a neighboring tree, threw
[the other end of the rope over a

was the cool, determingd work of
men who hadvmeasum‘a‘ihe regpon
gibility for their act, axd {Bt that
it was justified by their. daty to
their wives and sisters. This makes
the fourth lynching in Georgia
within a niqntli, in which the vie
tims have been the despoilers of
female innocence. It is estimated
that within the last three months
fiftcen rapes have been committed
npon white women in*Géorgia by
colored men, Stern msasures are
demanded for the protection of wo
men in the black belt. ‘
