THE RECOMMENDATIONS. These were as follows: assessors should be fearless and le men of experience and mature nt, that they should have the ability to determine the comparative values of improve- ments. and should understand the general char- acter and cost of the construction of buildings. 2. That they should secure ali available in- formation in t sh from general sources in the ueigborhood respecting the values of the land they are required to assess before com- pleting the aggregate valuation which by the law cannot be reduced. 3.

He was a native of Germany, and came to this city in 1832. He first learned the tailor- ing business here. He obtained his first capi- small merchant tail- oring shop, and it was not long before he was the owner of considerable property of value. He made investments with good judgment that proved extremely profitable, and for many years he has been numbered among the wealthiest citizens of Washington. He had great faith in the future of the city and builded his fortunes on that basis, He soon became the most extensive builder of houses in the District, and row after row of buildings, offices, stores and dwellings went up in his name. He had the reputation devoted its time to! of never making a mistake in enterprises of this kind. Asa result of his enterprise and good management he has lately been paying taxes on fully 500 houses, while his total wealth was estimated at $1,500,000. One of Mr. Uter- mehle’s most notable operations was-a heavy investment in government bonds at the begin- ning of the war, which caused an increase in the public confidence to a large extent.

About noon yesterday a colored couple, both of marriageable age, and the woman of more than ordinary size, appeared at the office of the clerk of the court and procured a marriage license in the names of Thos, Adams and Eliza- beth Mitchell. They expressed a wish to be married at once, and Mr. John Hollahan volun- teered to find a minister, and in a short time i Mr. Bailey was ready to tie the matri- monial knot. Mr. Bailey asked the bridegroom if he knew why he should not marry, and he replied: “Tdon’t know; I havn't soedimy other wife for six months. “How is that?” asked Mr. Bailey. “She's ran off.” answered the woman, “with another man, and he don’t know where she is.” Mr. Bailey advised them that they ought to be sure that his tirst wife was dead or has been . and refused to perforn the They left in search of some other & ceremony, minister, —-__ Retirement of Government Clerks. To the Editor of Tue Eventna Stan: In your issue of the 16th inst. I see a com- munication regarding retirement of govern- ment clerks, While in favor of provision be- ing made for such purpose (in fact, that the rules of retirement for military and naval serv- ie ould obtain), I think the proposition of Another Clerk” is very much one-sided, The term of thirty years’ service before any benefit can accrue is rather long for the uncertain cli- mate of government positions, Many of the new clerks are middle-aged and would become incapacitated before serving that long; many would be discharged for various reasons— these would all be counted out. The propo- sition is to take all alike (those getting the lowest as well as the highhst salaries,) and the burden would be most keenly felt among those least able to stand it, and least likely to benefit by it. With some such provision attached as that, if discharged before the limit, the amount paid in by such shall be refunded, and a cer- tain sum paid if death occurs before the limit— those who now receive the lower salaries, and are just commencing their government career would be much more favorable to the scheme than they can now be expected to be.

BUT, HE SAYS, THERE IS AN AMERICAN PROBLEM —A CHARACTERISTIC ADDRESS BY THE COLORED ORATOR—RELATIONS OF THE RACES—NEW DAN- GERS WHICH THREATEN THE NEGRO, Fred. Douglass delivered one of his charac- teristic addresses last evening at the Metropoli- tan A. M.E. church. The theme was suggested by the anniversary of emancipation in the Dis- trict, and the large audience, who had come to- gether at the invitation of the Bethel Literary and Historical association, followed with close attention the words of this popular orator of the colored race. Mr. Douglass confined him- self closely to his manuscript, but at times leaving the written page, he elaborated some idea with a burst of his old-time eloquenceg He thought that the time for noisy street demonstrations on the emancipation anniver- sary was past. It is not the past, bnt the present and future that most concerns the col- ored race, Without wishing to awaken undue alarm he gave it, as his opinion, that at no period since the abolition of slavery in the Dis- have the MORAL, SOCIAL AND POLITICAL SURROUNDINGS | of the colored people of the country been more solemn or foreboding. At no time, he ex- claimed, in the history of the conflict between | slavery and freedom has the character of the negro, ag aman, been made the subject of a fiercer and more serious discussion than dur- ing the past and present year. The strong point made against the negro is that no two peoples so different in race and color can live together in the same country on a level of equal political and civil rights. The speaker characterized this as the revival of the old slave-holding Calhoun and McDuftie doctrine, which confronts the colored people to-day as sternly as it did forty years ago. Then it was employed as the sure defense of slavery, now it is employed as A JUSTIFICATION OF FRAUD AND VIOLENCE by which colored men are divested of their citizenship and robbed of their constitutional rights in the solid south, This talk about the colored people, the speaker said, implies that the negro is regarded as a diseased member of the body politic. He thought that when the American people became convinced that they have gone too far in recognizing the rights of the negro they will find some way to abridge these rights. They will forget the services of the negro in the war, his loyalty to the repub- lie, the enmity of the old slave-holding class, All this convinced him, he said, that the recon- struction of our national institutions upon a basis of liberty, justice, and equality is not yet accepted as a final settlement of THE NEGRO'S RELATIONS TO THE GOVERNMENT. He denied that there was any such a thing as a negro problem now before the American peo- ple. It is not what the negro is, or what he has been, or what he may be, but the real question is whether American institutions can be made to include and protect alike and forever all American citizens in their rights. All that is asked for the negro to-day is that the nation shall fulfill toward him its own recognized and imposed obligations. His protest now is against being cheated by cunningly-devised judicial decisions, by fratids upon the bailot-box, or by BRUTAL VIOLENCE OF RED-SHIRTED REBELS. Mr. Douglass then went on to speak of what the negro can do toward the solution of this American, not negro, problem. He spoke of the necessity of combating the old-ti j dice which still lingers in the mind ag negro, He protested against the er has become somewhat prevalent of late of stimulating and cultivating a feeling called race pride. For his part he saw no superiority or inferiority in race or color. Neither are the choice of men, It is the giftof God Almighty. Ifthe sun has tanned our skin and curled our hair let the sun be proud of its achievement, although it is trouble enough sometimes in the combing. He thought the entire ASSUMPTION OF RACE PRIDE was ridiculous. It was what a man has accom- plished, not his family or his color or race, that counts. He protested against the idea that union among the colored people was an essen- tial element of success in their relations to the white race. The ice of the river may be strong enough to bear the weight of a man, but would break through under the weight of an elephant. the negro is the elephant in this country When a people isolate themselves the commo: benefit of association with those whose advan tages have been superior are lost. The polic should be to unite with the great mass of the American people. He spoke of the claim made that colored people should support newspapers ronducted by colored men because the editors are colored, Whether a colored editor should receive support, said the speaker, depends en- tirely ou the character of his work. He spoke of the ALARM WHICH WAS FELT by the negro in the south at the election of Mr. Cleveland, Now, he said, upon the ac- cession of a republican President the alarm in the south has been transferred from the cabin to the mansion, He referred to the representa- tions made by southern leaders to President ves, and said that the same policy was being pursued in the case of President Harrison, He did not believe that the little broad-headed man in the White Hoase would be deluded by all this specious talk of the effect of giving office to southerners and thus forming a white man’s party in the south. In conclusion he expressed confidence in the ultimate triumph of justice in the case of the colored citizens. _- cas teaiias Ineffectual Persuasion. From the Hartford Courant, The observer was going from New York to Hartford a few days ago. In front of him were seated a very stylish young woman and a man, the woman ina Connemara cloak and a small French capote trimmed with buttereups. ‘The gentleman was little, fierce, and dark and middle-aged, and he, too, was in brave apparel. About half an hour after leaving Bridgeport the train slackened its speed. It 18 remarkable how loudly the voice rings out when the pas- senger has been talking against the rattle of Only on this occasion the slacking slowly done, so slowly that our gentle- man did not realize that with the utmost di tinctness the following sentences fell on the ears of all the passengers within eight or ten sents: “I may express myself awkwardly, but I hope Iam understood” A modest bow from the buttercup capote. “Thave an excellent situation in the shoe anPleather business and my habits are unex- ceptionable.” No response from the capote. ‘Lhave x house in Harlem. and my life is insured for $8,000 im the Travelers’.” No re- sponse. “Both of my children have had all the infan- tile diseases.” No response. “Lam an orphan.” Still greater silence, “And a member in goodstanding in the Bap- tist church.” No reply. “My first marriage was an uncongenial one.” Silence. ly wife shall never trouble herself with domestic cares; I marry her, not to be a house- keeper, but a companion,” ' Stillness, “My first wife's mother is no longer living.” As these sentences fell from his lips the suitor continued to raise his voice, and when the train came to a full stop we heard a cry: “Adaline, I may be precipitate in saying so, but I adore you.” An uncontrollable burst of laughter from the innocent listeners awoke him to the situation, and Adaline, the silent, spoke. It was in a whisper, but we saw that his alluring promises were without effect. Alas, a freight train had run off the track, and we were compelled to wait for an hour anda half. As usual, the car was crowded, but we did not know at what mo- ment we should start for New York. It was an ex press train, and it did not stop t@ll it reached the city.
