A POH8IBI.E NEGRO BTATR.
An opportunity seem, now presented
for illustrating the capacity of the negro
tor aelf-government. Oklahoma ! the
hiiHcn field, and negro immigration i. di
rected to that territory with the view ol
ilitainingapreponderance of negro popu
lation and negro voten with thepurpoit
of to dominating the pollt that all thi
ixiatt of truttt and retpontibilitv willful
into the linndiof the race claimed by iti
ciitliiitinttic friemltto beequnlly qunlificd
with the whites for all the grave dutiet
if citizenship, it they were permitted up
IKirtunity to illustrate their capacities
At an experiment we are glad the oppor
tunity it given. It will test the matter
thoroughly. Apnrt to thcmiel',es, they
come in conflict with no prH'i'i a jranv
external obitnclet to Impede their ad
vancement, In their relation! with gov
ernment and the congreat, standing on
i heir own merits, makers of their own
destinies, they will lie relieved of the pat
ronizing tuteluge at once humilinting and
cniburrntting to any ieople claiming the
rights and dignities of a common man
hood. So much is claimed for them, thev
claim to much for thrmtclvet, we should
he pleased ruther than vexed to tee them
unobstructed in their aims and objects.
I'erhapt, left to themselves, with the
training they have hnd, and tiie ambi
tions aroused in their brains and hearts,
they may do better than they have done
in Lilierin, better than they have done In
llnyti, better than they have done in Ja
maica. Hut to make the expenment a
convincing one they should be left
much as possible to their own men
tal and moral resources. They should
nut be groomed by Ingnlls or
coached by Hoar or coddled by
Hlair. Otherwise nothing would be
proved. There should Ik no propping or
mistering except through the aid given
them for educational purposes. And thi
uovernmenl should not meddle witi
i hem in the way of aid, encouragement
ir protection more than it is authorised
to do with the negro in any Southern
Suite. Acting imh-iR-nilcntlv, reiving
iipnnthcir own resources, cxercisingthcii
wn unaided talents and civic virtues, it
will be an interesting study to comiarr
their progress with that ol' the people ol
the Indian Territory, now in the full tide
if evolution from tic savage state wh'.ch
may be regarded nit having passed thi
stage of experiment. The Indian., com
prising several tribes, may be considered
nt the architects of their own civic for
tunes. They borrowed much in their ini
tial steps from white civilization. But
they invented their own ulphnbet. they
have lieen largely their own educators,
they have conducted their own legisla
tive ui d judicial systems, an I rauy lie
fairly said to have worked out their own
destinies.
In the beginning of their indciendeni
existence, the negro has the advantage ol
the Indian. It amain, to be seen when
left to himself whether he recedes or ad
vances.
It also remains to be teen whether the
white settlers of Oklahoma whonciuiml
their lands with so much difficulty and
with so much of romnnticndveiitiire will
quietly yield the ground to the new com
ers, or remaining, consent to lie subordi
nate to them. And this, the first stage
f the experiment, will be watched with
intense interest.
The deal h of young Abraham Lincoln.
son of Minister Robert Lincoln, which
occurred yesterday in London, apart
from a general sympathy with a father
at the loss of a son, will excite no pul-
lic interest, except through the nunie, the
same ns that of the remarkable Abra
ham Lincoln, who will always be
identified with with the great civil
war. With those in the Northern Stntes
who cherish the memory ol' the great
Lincoln with such idolatrous veneration.
it might have been a cherished hoie that
in another generation the name might
be ,erpeluuted in the presidency as it has
been in the present incumlicntof the exec
utive chair. And we of the South, or
those who lire coming after us, would
have bad no objection, provided the
grandson exhibited the qualities of the
grandfather. For there is no hostility
in the South towards Abraham Lincoln ;
on the contrary, high respect and much
of kindly feeling. He performed the
part to which be was called with energy
ability nnd humanity. And il he were
the chief agent In the comhinntions
which conducted the war to the subjuga
tinii of the South, he incurred no per
sonal odium, He did his duty from his
point of view well, Initliliilly and honor-
iil.lv. He Ivll by (he assassin s hand nt
the time when his kindly nature and
his conservative tcniicr were of vital In
terest to us. His death, painful and
shocking ns it was to the North, was
more full of mrmrntotia consequences to
the South than to the North. He would
have siicedily smoothed uwuy the asper
ities growing out of the long gigantic
conflict. As it was, horror and pnrty
rage quickly nnd willingly complicated
the whole South with the cruel and un
wise guilt of one mnn, nnd the evils of
freshly aroused passions are sensibly felt
to this day.
A Washington correspondent of the
New York Star, March 4th, hat tome
commentt nn the reply of Senator
Spooner.of Wisconsin, to Senator Blair's
siecch on his educational bill. Mr.
Spooncr opposes the bill We shall only
refer to out remnrk of Mr. 8pooner.
Sienklng of illiteracy in the South, he
said that "statistics from North Carolina
and other States showed that a large
portion of the illiterates would not go to
school, even if they had a chance." This
it unjust and misleading. The statement
t bat Illiterates would not go to school
even if they had a chance It incorrect. A
vast number of those illiterates crave for
education, if it were attainable. But
there are vast tracts in the eastern parts
of the State in the piney lands and in the
swamp penetrated country where there
is n large population, but very widely
scattered und separated. The same con
ditions exists in many parts of the moun
tains where in many parts the population
is thin, and alto separated by mountain
ranges. In both of these sections the
maintenance of schools is difficult, and
sometimes impracticable, because the lo
cation ol'scoools in the centre of a school
district r.;akes it to largeextentinaccessi
.ili to the children of school age. This is
a difficulty money will not remove. It
must be overcome by increase of popula
tion, and by the closer gathering together
of families. When this comet to pass,
and it is making gratifying progress;
llitcracy in the mountains among the
whiles will lie reduced, if it does not to
tally disnp)ear. But conditions cannot
lie forced.
