Whitehead an4 Stokes, with a view .to gong to Richmond to be cured. He was advised by these physicians that J;here was no chance of, cure except to undergo an pneration which would be a serious one, making it necessary td take off a part of the lower jaw, and ex tracting a part of the glands in the"throal:; Even if this is done he cannot be assured of a t cure. 1 'This is his deplorable condi tion, feeling that he can not en dure the coming , warm feather but a few months and has no as surance that there is any earthly cure for him.

(t.Dr, p B Barrirfger, of the Uni versity of .Virginia, delivered an arirlrAsa ViArt to-nitrht bhforo thft Trf:Sta4e; Medical Association on "Tfie-Southern "Negro."- . Dr. Barringer contended that tHe ages '.of ''degradation ' under which the negro was formed and the 50 centuries ' of Historically recorded4 savageiy with' which ho came to America could not be permanently influenced by one or two centuries of enforced cor rection, sp that when tho correc ting " '" force was ., removed . the negroj like the released plummet, began to fair. What has been, the speaker said, is 'but the first evidence of. a "motion as cortain in its result as the law of gravi tation." . -.rl wyZ o gpr, .;ww in .Thebes 3,000 years Vint.

He is the 'slayo of tte. nation and accepts that condition "contentedly if his ,an imal( wants are i supplied. Wher pyer he na's attained any civiliza tion it has been when he was un der the control' of a stronger will than his own,' for in Africa, whore lie has been left to' him- self, he is still the cannibal and the.', savage, that ho always hasj been.!' i ;i ' Speaking of the young negro of the . present gonoration, Dr. Barringer said: '2 ''By, the time he is fully grown he is far from, home and has al most forgotten the parents that gave him birth. Ho is a liar, a thief, a robber, gambler, perhaps murderer or highwayman, fear ing neither God nor man. This man is a unit of that dark cloud whicH overhangs tho black bolt of the South.. Before another generation of negroes is allowed to arise, worse, as wo must see, fVinn fViA nrncpnt tho ronnlo of the South must act. They must remove tho negro from politics and give tho ballot to him only( when it can bo given as a reward of progress and not as a weapon of revenge. The negro must bo educated along now lines. 1 'Ono of two things may then be expocted unless a remedy is ' found. Some questions of race j will probably arise which will J stir the passions and there will comg a struggle, a uay 01 juu ment for folly piled upon folly. As all classes of the South are of pure Saxon blood, tho chron icles of their axon ancestors will bo hiJmane .reading com pared with the records of that day.' Charleston, S. C, Dis patch, 20th.
