the well known Art Publishers, a

after Anderson's celebrated pho

the general wae still in full vigor,
and represents him in his sturdy,
manly strength, as the people
wish to remember him. It is un
doubtedly, the best portrait ever
mad a of the general.

“Steamboat Landing at N. 0.”
Many indeed are the numerous
sights which are perceived by the
northern visitor when he arrives,
south. In New Orleans, one of
the many beautiful views which
meet the visitors gaze is that ol
the famous steamboat landing.
Its situation lies directly at the
head of the principal street of
New Orleans, via? Canal str ct
To that point and its immediate
surroundings, all boats whether
laden with passengers or freight
steer their way. Boats from all
parts of the United States, can be
continually seen steaming to and
fro cither to secure a landing or
on their way to the place from
whence they had come. During
the day it is almost an impossi
bility to find passage on the levee,
the cause of this being the im
mense trade carried on between
the city and the neighboring par
ishes. Wagons, floats, dray* and
buggies all move in perfect con
fusion, each searching after a
place to pass in order to deliver
their loads or, perhaps, ty transact
rnnio business. At night the land*
ing is illuminated with electric
light, and a steamboat approach
ing the wharf presents to the
eye of the beholder a sight not
easily forgotten. C

B Georgia Negroew,
h What an Atlanta Editor Says of
tho Race Question in tho
South—Negroes progress
iug Satisfactorily.
• New York Moil, Nov. 4. Mr.
Henry W Grady, editor of the
Atlanta Constitution, was called
! upon by a Mail and Express re
r porter yesterday at tho New York
i llotel.
t “Do you intend to reply to Mr
> Cable on the negro question
i again ?"
i “No. Mr Cable's first article
in tho Century on the negro of tho
i south created a sensation mainly
- because it was written by a south
t ern man. I was requested by
I that magazine to make a reply,
• tbo editor saying that he pro
) posed to limit the discussion to
one comprehensive reply. In my
I published answer I think I rep
■ resented the sentiment of the
) south. Tbo press wae unanimous
I in its approval, But I was our-
> prised to receive many letters
• from tho north on the subject, dis-
I playing an unusual amount ol
3 knowledge and shrov. duesbim the
t negro question. It showed that
• the northern people were more
■ familiar with tbo negro problem,
. having studied it in all Ito pha-
I sea, than would be supposed. All
» tho letters indorsed the spirit of
> my reply to Mr Cable. I held that
■ the races must develop m the
-south by parallel but separate
i courses, that tbo solution was
i equal accommodation in school
■ and church, yet separate, that
tho mingling of the races in the
' schools and theatres and olso
-1 where created a very bad feeling,
> and neither tho negroes nor tbo
whites desired it. Ono instance
i of this is that negroes separated
. from the northern Methodist
, church which was established in
i the south. Mr Cable wrote hit
i reply after seven months. I shall
i not discuss tho matter further
with him. Ho and I aro abso
lutely a|mrt on tho negro quo*-
, tion. We differ from beginning to
end, ami no amount of discussion
would bring us together or on-
i lighten the public a» to the out
i come. It will lake twenty years
, to decide which is right, and no
i amount of impatience on his part
i or’mine can hasten that demon.
i stration, In my first article I
entered a protest against the
■ south being committed to tho
. views of Mr Cable by the words
i put in her mouth. I could not
k make that protest more positive
. by repeating it, and find no other
, reason for continuing tho contro-
I versy. The history of races to
that they diflerentitate but never
i amalgamate."
k “Are tho negroes prosperous
i and progressing "
i “They aro, beyond a doubt.
, Many of them aro largo landown
i era. They have thoir churches,
I lodges, and they oven Lave their
society graded. Tho main test of
I thoir society is respectability,
i Thoir society squabbles originate
1 generally between tho mullattooo
and blacks. In Augusta they had
a disagreement on that issue, and
in Big Bothel Church in Atlanta,
tho high-toned members wanted
thoir preacher removed because,
as he claims, be was little and
b'ack.' They had a church trial
and the little preacher was oue
tal nod. The nogro question is
settling iteelt fester than any raoo
question was ever settled! Oar

Opening of the New Orleans Ex*
position.
Joyful indeed appeared Now
Orleans on Tuesday, November
l()th. It was the day y, upon
which the doors of tho groat
World's Fair was thrown open to
the public. Early in tho morns
ing the luminous sun unveiled his
mantel ot brilancy, and during
tho entire day his dazzling rays
wore cast on all sides. The ob
servance of the day was like that
of other grand celebrations held
in Now Orleans, to which thou
sands flock from all parts of the
world to witness. It was a gen
oral holiday among all. All
houses of business suspended com
mercial transactions and tho
school boy and girl were granted
a holiday iq order to participate
in tho opening of tho great enter
prise. Tho ceremonies opened
with a grand juirade through tho
principal streets of the Crescent
city, to which all societies, organ
izations and the like wore ten
dered a most cordial invitation.
Many indeed participated and
succeeded in making the parade
one of the most interesting of its
kind over witnessed in Now Or
leans for some time past. It con
sisted chiefly of the military both
white and colored, the firemen
and numerous other organisa
tions and societies established in
tho city. At 10:80, tho parade
started, and after passing through
the business portion ot the city,
embarked for tho great Expos
tion. The fleet consisted of seven
large boats, and during the em
barkation at both places ria:, at
tho steamboat landing and at the
Exposition, n<> sound was audible
except that of tho booming of tho
cannon and tho blowing of whis
tles. Having arrived at thealeam
boat landing and at tho Exposi
tion, tlio procession moved toward
the Grand Muaio Hall, situated
in the centre of tho main
building. This groat hall was
decorated with flags of all na
tions, while tho gallery balustrade
was decked in horixontal •trijwa
of red, white and blue. As has
been previously said this spacious
hall contains sitting capacity for
thousands, and during tho oere>
monies this wilderness of chair*
was constantly occupied At tho
entrance of this groat ball, bung
an immenco banner bearing the
following, “North Central and
South American Expooition,
Greeting." So great was the
crowd, that oven tho largo stage
was crowded with remarkable
personages, in the rear of which
stood the famous Exposition band.
It consists of fifty pieces and is
beaded by tho famous Prof. G
D’Aqum.
All being seated, tho band
struck up an overture and tho
orchestra and chorus in a grand
buret of harmony, lifted thoir
united voices in tho national air.
“Hall Columbia.** It being fin

never sells land—he acquires it all
the time. In ono section of Geor
gia the whites became alarmed
and feared the negroes would buy
too much land. The grange (a**
organisation of farmers) mot and
passed a resolution that no farmer
would sell land to a negro. The
negroes organized and deter
mined to leave the country: The
Grange soon recindcd their reso

this year are the best ever known.
The people are prosperous, happy

their homes, bailing up cities,
and the farmers are improving
their stock and implements. Ver
ily the prosperous era of tlie New
