Report of the African Colonization So- clety----How the Money Goes, The Liberian Darkies in the Pursuit of Happi- ness Relapse Into Barbarism. Au Ethnological Fact of Importance— “All the Emigrants Who Are Alive (re in Goad Spirits,” Once every year a number of antiquated gentic- men, known as the African Colonizatien Society, meet in New York to discuss the condition of the Liberian republic and ala Sambo tn running his governmental machine in the country of his curly- headed ancestors, These gentlemen seem to be ob- livious of the fact that siavery is gone where the good niggers go, and that from being slaves in the sunny South the colored popula- tion have become masters. ‘They publish an- nually @ report of their progress in the Afrivan Repository, and thelr last one 1s just out. By it we are intormed that the Boeiety spent over $70,000 in 1869, and with the money sent out to Liberia about 100 negro men and women and sixty picanninies, which 18 $438 80 @ darky, It seems that the treasury of the society is now neariy exhausted, which is hardy to be wondered at, vonsidermg what it costa to rid the country of even one ptcan- niny, <A strong appeal is made funds to carry on the work of depopulating the South and buliding up Liberia, The subseribers to the society who have liberally contributed in the past will, however, be apt to think twice before giving any more money toward the enterprise; for It is pretty clearly shown in the report that the affairs of the society have been greatly mismanaged, and that f AS A COLONIST SAMBO 18 NOT A succrss. The treasurer’s report for 1869, deducting $2,125 of edueational funds, credits an income of $67,287. The ship Goleopaa, which seems an elephant on their hands, Is debitea with $33,498, and credited with $15,035—a los? of $17,967. ‘The secretaries’ Salartes and collecting expenses are debited $13,001; the African Repository, after deducting $415, still shows a debit side of $1,636, giving a total of dead expenses of $32,610, AN ANALYSIS OF THE TRMASURER’S REPORT shows that the real tax on benevolence by the soct- ety’s operations was, on Expenditure of donations.,.. + $24,873 Expensiture of legacies...

In view of these facts a correspondent asks, “Is it strange that thero should be numerous deaths in acclimation an- der such management, and Goes this mode of beney- clent work pay aad who does it pay?” The correspondence ptibished with the report shows that instead of the American Africans civillz- ing the native Alricans the very reverse is the case, the former yielding to the mmfuence of tie latter and relapsing tato baroarism, | This 13 an tinportaut eth. nological fact, and is worth the money spent in proving it, Few of the letters have the names of e writers at a, bat beg padlished by the so- authentic, movement of Providence ia this coun- fon has beea made for the ctynizanion and evangelization of Attion, Numbers of the peo- we of color are desirous, tobe sent to their an- patie land to serve God and save thet brethren. ‘The Ant nr fon 4a started from Amerion voyage aud to last them six quality, When are at ones The four, i ul ts ive on the va, from 10) will. sulfer ‘They wilt iy rT, ‘on to witend them, who haa a besides.
