tThite Slavery in England.
Tke English Abolitionist reproached
' the South daring the war for the " crime "
' of holding slaves. Contrast the Blare sys
tem of the South with the following taken
from official British sources :
In the English House of Lords rccent-
ly, the Earl of Shaftsburjr, in rising to
more " That an hu ruble address be pre
vented to her Majesty to request that she
will be graciously pleased to direct that
the Commission appointed in answer to
. en address of this House ou February 18.
2SC2, to inquire into the employment of
children and young persons in trade and
V Manufactures not regulated by law, do in-
elude children and young persons employ-
d ia the country under an organized sjs
l teat known as that of the agricultural
pangs," said that it was a Bubject un
known to many, ana that he had not been
able himself to institute a personal inquiry,
but he was sure from letters he had re
ceived that it was a subject worthy of at
tention. The system had been in opera
lion for the last twenty-five years Gangs
of children of both sexes prevailed in the
ten counties of Lincolnshire, Cambridge
shire, Huntingdonshire and Northamp
tonshire, and in many parts of rsortolk.
- The children ranged in age from five to
sixteen years. From ten to fifty or sixty
j boys and girls congregated in each gang.
They were collected together by persons
called -undertakers or gang drivers, who
, , cured .them from their parents to contract
..-for them with the farmers at so much
per score or per acre. They were em
ployed . ia weeding, ditching, hoeine and
other kinds of agricultural labor, and had
. frequently to walk great distances to their
Wore. The gang drivers are often men
of drunken and dissipated habits, and
their object being to get all the work out
of the children that was possible, at the
cheapest rate, they treated them frequent
ly with harshness and cruelty. The chil
dren being away from their parents, and
having no power of appeal, were practical
ity slaves. Indeed the circumstances had
all the characteristics of slavery a slave
market and a slave driver. The Rev. Mr.
. Hut ton, the Rector of Stilton, gave the
' following description of a gang parish,
- which exactly agreed with the testimony
he had received from other parts of the
country : " The population is about 3,000.
Here all the farmers encourage the gangs.
There are eight gangs at work, contain
ing 40 children each- five of these are
ju mixed gangs' of boys and girls j two
consist entirely of girls, and one is formed
of boys only. During the three winter
months, the average attendance at school
is 100 boys 'and 80 girls, but when the
-gangs are in full work, these numbers are
f reduced to 40 and 20 respectively. The
association of the younger children with
the hardened, wicked and corrupted boys
and girls of fifteen and sixteen years of
age is described as the most demoralising.
, .- Their language is awful ; vice and immor
ality ia every form are the fruit of the
system. These children may be frequent
ly seen on a Saturday night, as late as ten
o clock, going from one beers hop to sooth
cr ia - search . of their driver, for their
.week's wages. The educational status of
this parish is represented to be 50 per
cent, lower than that of the manufactur
ing districts of Lancashire and Yorkshire."
- Cow. TO Do It. The following, from
the Colombia (6a.) Statesman, will serve
to show the manner of the lies sent North
by the Puritan preachers and teachers
-'who have been appointed to the South by
; the Preedmen's Bureau, and the object
they have ia fabricating and circulating
them. That paper says:
It has come to our knowledge recently
that several letters have gone from this
place to the Rev. Mr. Wright, connected
wlth the Frecdmen's Bureau, in regard
to the treatment of the colored people.
These letters, one or more, were written
;.bj white man who lives here, (and is
known,) representing to Mr. Wright that
the colored people in this place are horri-
. bij treated vj ue wmies; mat tney are
imposed open, insulted and abused, &c.

Widow and Orphan.
Certain interested nartiea are unhold-
ing the exemption of United States bonds
from taxation, on the ground that the
bonds are held by widows aud orphans of
the war, and tor another reason, that
Congress has exempted them, the bonds,
from taxation 1
A venal Congress did exempt those
bonds from taxation, as it had the power
to do, but not in justice the right. Ihe
same Congress had the power to exempt
nil property, no matter by whomsoever held
from taxation I
It had the power to i&nore the Question
of Btamps, and the next Congress will have
the same right to abolish stamp duties-
to abolish taxation, or to add to the taxes
now being heaped upon us, as the late
Congress had the power to do what it did.
congress lias a rignt to matte laws to
make .compromises to repeal or alter the
same within such limit as the Constitution
confers. Therefore it is a question of
WMl, not ot power, whether a luture Con
gress snail remedy this aristocratic evil
and property tax the billions of capital
now exempt, or continue to oppress the
people, to make rich men richer aud poor
men poorer in regular Republican style.
Again.
Widows and orphans of soldiers hold
these bonds ! This is the most monstrous
and absurd argument we have yet heard!
e are quite conversant with the peo
ple of the W est in all its extent, and can
not believe the assertion.
Bonds hold the widows and orphans of
soldiers the widows and orphans do not
hold bonds.
Go where you will. Follow up or down
the river walk or ride over the broad
prairies wander through the northern
forests climb up rickety stairs in pesti
lential tenements houses look into the
little cabins of foreigners go into the
farm cottages of the West search through
the poor houses of our country look in
upon the dwellings of the poor all over
the land ? There you will find widows
and orphans by the thousands. .You will
find them clad in rags of the coarsest
garb. - You will find widows in want, and
struggling
with poverty, in bonds of la
bor. You will find women wbose hus
bands lie dead on Southern battle fields,
toiling to clothe, feed and educate their
children, and teaching them at the same
time that Republicanism and "Abolition
ism made them orphans 1 and a "God and
morality" party (1) in power not only
robbed them of parents but ground them
into the earth under the iron heel of tax
ation !
Blistered be the tongue which utters so
so cowardly and wicked a slander on the
children of poverty made poor byie
fanaticism of our people, the incompeten
cy of our statesmen and the hellishness of
those who have charge of the so-called
Christian Churches of America !
The bonds in question are held
By favorites of power.
By rich men.
By English capitalists.
By dishonest contractors.
By corrupt army officers.
Ry knavish officials.
By " friends" of loyal Senators and
Congressmen. j
By the cowardly sycophants Aho, to
gain bonds, endorsed misrule, corruption
and persecution.
liv the crowd of office holders who for
the kst few years have stolen themselves
rich, and the treasury poor.
By the rich speculators who now can
live in idleness, exempt from taxation,
and laugh at the sweat rolling from the
poor man's brow.
These bonds are held by men who have
never periled their lives for their country,
and who now say " don't break a law."
A pretty set of widows and orphans!
A precious party of deserving ones !
iV ould it not be well to confiscate a few
million bales of cotton to hold a few
more Sanitary Fair swindles for those
needy widows and orphans of war, who
are holding Government bonds ?
Jreople of America you owe a debt of
gratitude . to the soldiers to the widows
and orphans. And that debt cannot be
paid by making laws which compel these
same widows and orphans and the poor
people or the country to devote their life
and their earnings to the support of a set
of misers, thieves, swindlers, scoundrels,
official hangers-on and money getters.
.bet us have U. o. bonds taxed as well
as other property btaled, or let us repu-
aiate tne entire national debt. Thea we
can all have borfds to hold !

On the 23d of October, quite a number
of negroes, from different parts of the
State, met at Put-in-Bay for the-vpurposc
04 ccieuraung me anniversary ot the is
suing of the Emancipation Proclamation
by President Lincoln. The crowd pres
ent called apon John Brown, son of Old
Ossawattamie Brown, who resides upon
Put-in-Bay Island, and invited him to ad
dress them. Mr. Brown accepted the in
vitation and addressed the negroes. A
Republican friend of ours who was pres
ent, snd in whose veracity we have the
greatest confidence, has furnished us with
the following synopsis of the main points
of the speech.
Mr. Brown opened his remarks by re-
. .i . . . . .
iemng to me occasion wmen had called
tbem together, and after some compli
mentary remarks in regard to President
Lincoln, and a lengthy dissertation upon
the noble qualities of the black race, he
said :
'My colored friends, you now have the
right to one box and that it the catridge-
box : but there are two other boxes which
you ought to claim. One of which is the
ballot-box, and the other is the jury box.
If the white people fail to give you these,
or if you cennot get them in a peaceable
way,! advise you to arm yourselves and
demand your full rights from the Gov-
crnmcnt.
In order to impress this idea more firra
ly upon the minds of his hearers, Mr. B
gave the statistics of the number of ne-
groes ia the united otates, Uanaaa and
Hayti, and said:
They can be depeaded upon, and will
aid you ia your struggle for your rights."
Mr. Brown, ia alluding to the coloniza
tion- scheme, said; ,
w There is oma talk of colonising you,
my colored brethren, in eome far off State
or clime. I advise you cot to listen to any
such a monstrous proposition. Do not go,
-7
r-e
I
but, on the contrary, remain here and
fight for your rights if necessary. You
will be sided in the contest by many of
your white brethren. Jhe son ot old
John Brown will never deceive you."
In concluding bis speech, Mr. Brown
gave the negroes the following advice :
" ltcmeuiber your arms, keep your
bayonets bright, and be ready for the
coming issue.
It is hardly necessary for us to com-
ment on the speech of Mr. Brown. Our
readers wilt fully understand what he
means. They will Bee that he is but fol
lowing in the footsteps of his father who
was hung for getting up an insurrection
in Virginia, capturing the Government
armory at Harper's Ferry, and for the
murder of inuoccnt persons. The younger
ISrown seems to have inherited the in
sane ideas of his father, and if possible,
is more bold in the enunciation of his
opinions than was his ancestor.

Washington, Oct. 2, 18G5.
A great deal has been said and written
about the freed men of this district. There
are a great many here, probably not less
than 15,000. How they all manage to
live we do not know, but we do know that
they are not doing much good They have
been living in snug quarters aud draw
ing rations for so long a time from the
Government, and so little work to perform.
that they have become indolent aluiost
good for nothing. ISo matter what in
ducements are held out to them, if there
is work to perform, they decline the of
fer, preferring to remain and rely on still
continuing to receive rations, for they say
the Government will not let tbeui go
hungry. Thus far the rations have been
given out to them more or less, but the
sooner thev are stooped by the Bureau
the better. It is almost a matter of im
possibility to get from among these frecd-
men a gin to ao nousewor, win re
main in one place over a week at a time.
To get a man or woman out of a hundred
to leave the district and go orin or
East is impossible. Many of these frecd-
men have large families, some of them as
many as eight or ten children 1 hey will
uot part with any of these children, for
the reason that this class of free J men arc
sure, under the present rules of the Frecd
men's Bureau, to draw enough rations for
them all to live on, and out of the rations
to squeexe enough for many of their
young male and female friends to live on.
The writer of this, during the last two
weeks, has spent considerable time among
them, trying to get a young man and
woman to come to Pennsylvania and live
in the family of a gentleman, who would
not only give them good wages, but would
teach them to read and write as soon as
possible. Out of the whole not one could
be persuaded. One mother offered to sell
her child, a girl of ten years of ago, for
fifty dollars. Another told me she had
sold her's the day before to a gcutlcman
from the Eastern Shore for thirty dollars.
Another said she would sell her's for thir
ty. I declined the offer of purchasing
the children, but held out strong induce
ments, especially as regards the future
welfare of the children. It was no go
without the cash, and I gave up the job
of procuring the servants. We see state
ment after statement going the rounds
of the press that the Frecdmen's Bureau
is unable to supply the demand for labor
ers and servants. This is very true, for
the very reason that none can be per
suaded to go away ; and it will be so as
long as they are permitted to occupy their
present Government quarters and draw
rations. While the women and children
draw rations a great many of the men
among them are carrying on a regular sys
tem of pilfering. The arrests of colored
people for theft every night in and around
the city are now numbered by hundreds.

Chloroforming the Xicjrers.
The Louisville Democrat tells the fol
lowing good story :
Ihe lzoth regiment U. 8. colored in
fantry are on duty in the military prison
in this city. Ihe presence ot Major Wil
Hams, with his safe filled with greenbacks,
among them on u ednesday. caused many
a row of ivory to shine, and many a pair
of headlights to glisten. He paid them
off in full and left them rejoicing in and
around the prison. e were of the opm
ion that negroes could stand the smell of
anything that man or beast could stomach
Choloforni knocks them. No sooner had
the paymaster gone than the news of the
payment reached a posse of negro females
in the neighborhood, and they soon re
solved to " go for dem niggas." Night
came on and the females came out. each
the possessor of enough chloroform to put
a maie to sieep so sound that they could
steal his teeth without hurtins him. The
work was going bravely on, when some of
tne officers ot the prison discovered that
something had broken loose among the
negroes. One of the negroes who was on
duty at the gate, was found cuddled nn in
a hard knot, with his gun under him, his
eyes and mouth shut so tight that they
could hot have been blown open with gun
powder. His pockets were turned inside
out and his money gone. He was brought
to his senses in an hour, and said he did
not know how it cum, " but de gal was
ktvered with petroleum ile, or sumfin.':
Another darkey was found in the com
mons, near by, apparently dead arid half
hidden by the grass and dog fennel. He
was dosed good. His breath couldn't have
been drawn with a corkscrew. His hair
curled gracefully, his pockets were turned
inside out beautifully, and his money gone
" entirely." He was rolled over and rub
bed until "life's fitful fever" was shaken
out of him, and he mustered strength to
sottiy murmur, "Gentlemen, is I all head r
Is I bm sleepin in bed wid a polecat?
Another darkey curled over in the
prison yard and shouted, " Dey's ile in dis
prison, sbo. ile woke up with his mon
ey gone.
Yesterday the negroes would grab their
noses in one hand, and their money in the
other, whenever a negro wench came near
them, but they were spending it carelessly,

AIIUIUT EVES.
(From Ibe New York " Home Journal."
Man cannot fix his eyes on the sun, and,
so far it seems imperfect. Some years
ago, however, a traveler in Siberia, found
men who could sec the satellites of Jupw
ter with their unaided eyes. In some re
spects animals of the lower creation excel
us. Eagles can look at the sun, while
man canuot. Birds have a larger sight,
too, than man, besides the advantages
given them by their wings of a higher
observatory. A cow can bid her calf by
secret signal, probably of the eye, to run
away, or to lie down and hide itself. The
jockeys say of certain horses, that " they
look over the whole ground. Ihe out
door life, and huuting, and labor, give
equal vigor to the human eye. A farmer
looks out at you, as strong as the horse ;
his eye-beam is like the stroke of a staff.
An eyo can threaten like a loaded and
leveled gun, or can insult in a variety of
lorms, with thrilling effect; or, in its al
tered mood, by beams of kindness it can
make the heart dance with joy. Eyes
are as bold as lions roving, running.
leaping, here and there, far and near.
Tliey speak all languages. They wait for
no introduction. They aro no English
men : ask no leave of age or rank. They
rexpect neither poverty nor riches; nei
ther learning nor power; nor virtue, nor
sex; but intrude and come in, and go
through and through you in a moment of
time. What inundation of life and
thought is discharged from one soul into
another through the eye ! The glance is
natural magic. We look into the eves to
kuow if this other form is another cclf,
and the eyes will not lie, but make a faith
ful confession as to what inhabitant is
there. The revelations are sometimes ter
rific. The confession of a low usurping
devil is there made; andthe observer
shall seem to feel the stirring of owls and
bats and horned hoofs where ho looked
..... V . .
tor innocence and simplicity, it is re
markable, too, that the spirit that appears
at the " wiudows of the house" does at
once invest himself in a new form of his
own to the mind of the beholder. The
power in a woman's eye was once happily
expressed by the late George Stephenson.
On his being asked what he considered
the most powerful force in nature, he re
plied ; " It is the eye of a woman to the
man that loves her; for if a wuiuan looks
with affection on a man, should he go to
the utmost ends ot the earth, the recollec
tion of that look will bring him back."
ihe color, too, of the human eye is very
stgnincant, ana nas, accoraingiy, attracted
considerable notice from many celebrated
writers, come have often questioned
whether there is such a thing as a blue
eye, except in persons of low, lymphatic
temperament, when, say they, it invariably
indicates weakness ot mind and body.
Light, and dark grak eyes arc the most
common, and they arc generally the index
to a robust constitution and energetic
character. Ihe majority of great men
a a a rw a
nave nad sue n eyes, iue brown eye is
reflective, and not unlike the caves of the
ocean, which has " unfathomable depths.
Thougotful and truthful men and women
have brown eyes. The hasel eye is the
most fitful, because it assumes different
colors in different lights, and may be said
to belong to merry and capricious dispo
sitions. The black eye is associated with
passion and genius. It would appear to
be, when analyzed or anatomised, au on
ental eye, and its proper climate is the
torrid zone.
But whatever the color of the eye, the
expression of the face should also be stud
ied. A popular authoress says: Inter
esting people almost always have eyes
which tell they are so. Such eyes may
be black, gray, or even blue; they may
be of any form, though not Quite set in
any peculiar manner, but though they al
ways convey an idea ot great power and
capability, both to give and to receive on
any subject of dicourse or meditation
they seem, when attentative or medita
tive, to be following the subject through
its various bearings, and then returning
to beam forth with the knowledge they
have discovered, and a -strong desire to
communicate the results to others. Eyes
of this kind may easily make acquain'en
ces without the ceremony of au introduc
tion. This is probably the true solution
of " love at first sight."
