iih tite cx.wtfssioi* of my highest res jk, and lest w. es for yourco* au*d prosperity, I rvm*«a sincerely voni^ &. HAYKK Hon. A. G. Porter, fiiat comptroller of the treasury. Washington, D. €.

Oca colored friends will not forget the speech that William H. English made on behalf in the year 1860, entitled "The Political Crisis the Danger and the Remedy." Among other things of about the same c&aracter he said: "Howfong will it be, if these fanatics obtain power, before negroes are elevate# to high official positions in th&govern ment? How long will it be before tm Hon. Pompey Smash, Fred Douglas, or gome other kinky-headed and thick lipped darkey presents himself here, all redolent with the peculiar odor of hi* race, to claim a teat as one of the people's representtilues When we reflet# upon the state of public sentiment in some portions of the United States, such a contingency may not be so improbable or remote as gentlemen may suppose. What is to prevent it, if the negro is to be held a citizen, possessing equal rights with the white man."

Twenty years have made considerable change in the mind of. the Hun. W. H. English. He will be clamoring all over the United States for the votes of the "kinky-headed and thick-lipped darkey." But the colored people are not such fools as to look upon the Democratic party as a friend to their race, because thsy know it is not true. They know that English was then, as now, a representative of the principles of -the Democratic party, and that that principle is at enmity with the welfare of the colored people, aud the recent action of the Democratic Congress in the exodus matter is the best evidence of that fact.

The Democratic party cannot arrive at a point where they can look upon the colored race as their equal. The southern principles which have been engendered in the Democratic party for the past fifty years have taken deep root.

The Leader in a very able article on this subject says that "the North was first to see the evil of slavery and abolish it, so it is here in the North that prejudice against color must first disappear. There is, however, a shade of difference between prejudice of North ana the South thatde serves notice. In the South the preju dice is due more to the negro's former condition of servitude, rather than to his color. The close and intimate contact of the two races in the Southern States for two hundred and fifty years obliterated, in a large measure, the mere antipathy of one color to another. The Southern white bases his superiority to the negro upon the latter's origin and condition, more than- upon his color. He thinks that it was God's intention that the black races should be subordinate and subserv ient to the white races, and hence he ar gues that in enslaving and trampling upon the negro, he is carrying out the Diviue injuction registered by Noah when he administered his never-to-be-forgotten curse to Ham. "Prejudice in the North arises merely from the difference in color. The whites of this section who are most,susceptible to color prejudice do not, as a rule, feel that thoy have any God-given rights superior to the black man. Their prejudices, \\hich they themselves often think inate and natural, are due entirely to the long continued separation of the races in' social relations, such as schools, churclics, etp. To, this, of course, must be added the animosity against the negro that has been in the past kindled and nurtured by unscrupulous Northern demagogues for their own base and ignoble purposes. The intellectual inferiority enforced by eight or ten generations of chattel debasement and denial of school privileges, has also, in many cases led the ignorant Northern mind into the belief that it was naturally superior to the negro mind. "It is interesting to note the effect of these two different phases of anti-negro-ism. The Southern article blossoms out in complete social, political and civil ostracism. The effort is boldly made to reduco the negro tea condition of serfdom little, if any, better than chattel slavery. It is impudently proclaimed that he ought ta be, must and shall be, entirely subservient to the "dominant" race. He must vote with the dominant racfc or not at all. He must not presume to think afid act for himself to sit On juries, or to eat in firstclass hotels, or anything of the kind. He mt^, according to the Southern Idea, ih all essentialis bo a hewer of wood'and a drawer of water. The results of North era prejudice aiv somewhat different from the results in the South.'*

We think that no colored man will tako kindly to Mr. English after reading the above extract from his speebh, and will try to get even with him by voting for

Blunders of Painters on Sacred Snigeci*. Both ancient and modern artists in treating of the snbject of Hagar aud Ishmael in the desert, have fallen into singular error. It has been customary to represent the latter as a young child gjrf eight or ten, or younger still. But a reference to the chapter preceding the one in which the narrative occnrs will show the impossibility of this. Ishmael was thirteen when the whole household was circumcised, a year before Isaac's birth. The feast on the occasion of the latter's wedding, which led to the banishment of the "bond woman and her son," could notthave taken place till two years later still in the East the weaning of a child is never earlier than this, ana often later. Taking the earliest possible reckoning, therefore, Ishmael could not have been less than sixteen at the time he was sent away from home. And this removes much of the impression of harshness in the sentence which might dwell on the mind of one who supposed the banished son to be a little child. He wr.s old enough to seek his fortune, ud also to make it probable that his mockery of his younger brother was not mere heedless sauciness of a child, ii ebullition of bitter hostility in an ambitious and high-tempered youth, determined most likely, to seize the ilrst opportunity of claiming what he' would regard as the right of seniority. /. mistake which pei-vud.es almost all pictures, ancient or modern, in which the Saviour is introduced, is to represent Him with a glory of light around His head. Thereishardly anything of which we can be more certain than that no such manifestation accompanied Him during his ministry. The only time when he permitted even a chosen "few to have a glimpse of "the King in His beauty," behind' the disguise of the Man of Sorrows, was the Transfiguration, when for a moment the three disciples could look on Him as he really is—the veil thrown back, and the "excellent glory" manifest. With regard to the minute details of pictures, the old masters, from liieir ignorance of Oriental customs and dress, and also in mpny cases, of history have often set thes^ at defiance in their treatment of Scripture subjects both in the Old and New Testament. But these mistakes are generally more ludicrous than mischievous. Jacob in a four-post bed, and Sarah in a quilted satin petticoat, and the family of Cornelius in the starched ruffs and stiff black dresses of a Dutch Burgomaster's wife and daughters, and Pilate's soldiers playing cards with their muskets beside them, may call forth MI smile, but cannot greatly mislead modern spectators. The modern painters, however, have, of late years at least, taken most praiseworthy pains to study Oriental costume, landscape, and features, and consequently errors of this,kind are much seldomer met with. •)I

English Novelists.

Rose Eytinge, the actress, thus gossips about some aioted writers: "I was delighted with Mr. Rende. 1 met him often at his house at Knight bridge, where he entertained me. He is a tall man whose life is given to the broadest, open-handed charity. He lives to dp good. Why, the people come to see liim for everything, and out lie goes tonight their wrongs, visiting this man. remonstrating with that, into offices and counting-rooms. To see that justice is done some poor body, who has been wr6nged ih the matter of a shop-keeper's overcharge, he'will run all day. Just now he is busily engaged in forcing the introduction of a safety lamp into the mines. His 'study or writing room, he calls it the garden room, looks out over Hyde Park. The ceiling is low, the walk are covered with family portraits and in nishes stand the entire series of Rogers' statuettes in plaster. On his table, flanking an elegant Louis Quatorse clock, stand two unsightly coal oil lamps or the kind he is trying tr introduce into the mines. His house a museum of bric-a-brac and curiosities. I have four grand plays by him which I will act this winter. As I sat in his room and looked into his face, framed in white hair from the chin nil round, I was as deeply impressed as when 1 read his, "Cloister and Hearth." Indeed, more so. His apparently intuitive perception of the workings of a woman's mind are so delicate and exact. Well, he is a bachelor and.lives at home, but dines at the club a good deal. He is man of large frame, and a photograph he gave mo had written upon it': "This is the picture of a great man, now, thank Heaven, much reduced 1"—referring to the time when it was taken, when he was much stouter. I cannot sufficiently express my admiration of the man. He told me that he intended to continue to write for the stage entirely, hereafter. Mr. Cyri1 Searle, my manager, he appointed his agent this country to protect his dramatic work from piracy.

Wilkie Collins I sew, also, and found him delightfuL He is almost an invalid and suffers a great de With rheumatic gout. He speaks of the gont with stern disapprobation, but despite the pain it jtlmoat continually inflicts upon him. he talks admirably upon nearly all topics, Edmund Yates I saw frequently, too He spoke jp glowing terms of his visit to America, where he received magnificent UbBpitahty. .,

Auiong the hill tribes of the Anglo-In-dian frontier, cunning is quite as highly esteemed as personal prowess, and there is ample foundation for the native proverb that "ifeis easier to find snow in summer than io outwit a Khybereei" But event hese nmtcrs of stratagem occasionally meet their match, as the follo«ing adVenture, told injthjfe wordi of ita.herOjte IliiKlop trader, sufficieutly shows: "When I started to go from Peshawur to Herat, I knew that I couldn't, rajMsctito mwi the mcMantains without meeting

It wasn't long before I fell in with half a dozen •ghorumsaugs' (brigands), who never troubled themselves about me. seeing what a miserable object I looked, but flew at once upon the bread and devoured it alL The opium was not long of producing its effect, and aa soon as they Were fast asleep I took what money they had, packed all their weapons and the bestof their clothes upon my donkey, and wenton my way, But I can tell yon. Sahib, I took good care never to travel by that road again.*
