We had a call last Sunday from two young men from Massachusetts who are in business here. They were both in the army through the war and officers in a negro regiment, one of them perfectly disgusted us with his nonsense. He hates everything Southern, white or black but especially black. He is making himself miserable over the prospect of a "nigger president" in which he feels sure events are to culminate and was quite ridiculous over it. He asked about our school, and when we told him how the children learned, he plainly intimated that he didn't believe it. Of course we politely requested him to come and see for himself,-- catch him doing it! Then he went off on another tack. He said the North were very one-sided in their efforts. They made a great fuss about educating the blacks, but did not seem to care whether the whites were educated or not. Why said he, with a solemn gravity, perfectly ludicrous, seeming to feel the danger very sensibly. "In ten years more the blacks will be the educated class at this rate." We could not help laughing at his evident concern, and told him that the whites were at perfect liberty to send their children to our schools if they wished; that our instructions were to make no difference whatever on account of color. Well, he said, that was virtually excluding them, for of course no white man would send his children to the same school where niggers sent theirs. We told him that was their own fault, but we assured him that if he could induce any Northern philanthropists to establish free schools for the whites, the field was open;--we should not interfere. thus ended the discussion, very much to our amusement. Probably he had said what he had heard, for he is one of those men who would embrace almost any opinion likely to make him popular. The idea of the Southerners standing with their hands in their pockets (as they usually do) and whimpering because the blacks are going to be best educated! I don't wonder though. Nobody can be so degraded or so lost in ignorance as these "mean whites."
