OUR WEEKLY REVIEW. THE PRESIDENT AND MATTIEW’S AP- FROM SPRIGS OF ACACIA, BY SAMUEL | And on its balmy wings uprose Ot Norman, Ce't, aud Saxon maid- With eyes of blue, rose tinted Uprose on pinions white of faith Unto the great All Father’s Unto the listeuing ew of Christ The Christ uf Love, who did to presume? The fact is that a Negro who supported the demo- eratic party bad been nominated | by the president, which, perhaps was a surprise to the Kansas sena- tor. Hus the republican senate acted like a judicial tribunal? Have not its acts been of a partisan character? We know from pcr- scinl kuowledge that there are republicans in offic, who are in- imical to the interests of the Negro and all this pretense manifested by the republicans for the Negro, is but foul vapor, Let the senate do its duty when ‘it convenes by confirming Mr. Mathews. So far Mr. Cieveland has made an excel- lent president. He is endeavoring to es‘avlish purity in polities, which is greitly needed in this republic, It is an established fact that the NEGROES ARE DIVIDED. The election in ‘Tennessee a few days ago should ¢ nvince republi- cans that they must treat the Ne- groes us human beings. The age of fogism has passed; the democ- racy oi tu day 1s not the democra ey prior to rec -nstruction. It must be remembered that this is @ progressive age and as politics chunge so do we all change ac- cordingly. Ifthe democrats are isposed to tr.at the Negro justly and the republicans unjustly, it 18 their « uty to act accordingly. If on the other hand, the repubiicans do the same and the denioerats to the reverse or both act to the det- riment of the Negro, they must act for themselv.s. The nomina- tion ot MR. BLAINE in 788 seems to disturb the public mind. Suppose he is nominated. What then? Can he expect to re- ceive the colored vote? A people to whom he his been opposcd; a nation’s trust that he has politi- cally betrayed and a party that he has damned, sie but a few incidents of his perfidy. Tne republic will never be wrended from the grasp of democratic control until Couk- ling is recalled or Logan or S..er- man be placed at the head of the republican party. Our DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS have certainly rendered our pub schools a service. ‘The removal ot a corrupt set of school trustees and the appointment of men of reputa- tion and chaacter will no doubt raise our ins itutions 100 per cent. The object of the Commissioners is to place vur public schools upon a higher educational b sis. The situation in VIRGINIA looks somewhat gloomy. It is doubtful whether the Negr es will send one of their own representa- POINTMENT, HIS ACTION REVIEW | tives or not. We are ot the opin- ED. THE NEGRO DIVIDED. WILL) ion that congressmen Brady will BLAINE BE NOMINATED? OUR PUBLIC SCH9OLS, &C, democrats, Let trict people fairl): The Distrie demo_rais requested the president ty appoint a District. man United titles him to appoiut one of his pes onal and intimate friends from ny state in the Union. The pres- itent not cesiring to be selfish, appointel a District man, thus relinquiching his rights, title &., to please the clamor of District democrats. Now since the presi- dent gave all claim to a personal office of his own, is it not in bad taste for the District democrats to make such a howl over the office to which the president saw fit to appoist a colored democrat? Our contemporary the DAILY POST The appointment of Mr, James C. Matthews has no doubt created a scnsation in this country, Tue fact of a dem« crat ¢ president ap- pinting a Negro isan act that is uot understood by the tire eating us see whether ibe president bas trea ed the dis- States Mar-hal, an « ffice which en- do as much tur the colored people as any Negro they miy send. WAR WITH MEXICO is being agitated by our c loved exchanges. Perhaps the hot head colored editors who have never experienced war hive an idea that it is something you play with. We are opposd to war und if there is a way to settle the Cutting case, wethiuk itbest tod so. Those jwho want war will find out tia the condition of the United States can not affvid it. How many Negroes will go and fight fur a country that fails to protect them?

The Knights and Daughters of King David, a large secret organ- ization among the colored people of this city, were before Squire Thursby, of St. Paul street, yester- day, as p'aintiffs in a replevin suit | to recover certain books aod _rec- |ords held by some expelled mem- BALTIMORE NEWS. (special correspondent of the Bze.) Baltimore Md., Ang. 17th, 86. The report of the death of Rev. Moses A. Hopkins tell like a blow upon his many friends in this city where he was well and favorably known. He spentsome time here just prior to his departare for Li- veria, and was especially hopeful for his tuture thére. He was a man not very generally known out- side the Presbyterian chureb, but he was au earnest, conscien- tous christian gentleman, who hoped to combine a disseminaticn ot the gospel in the “Black Kepub- lic,’ together with his diplomatic duties. He was an ambitious man | aud did not conceal the fact that he hoped to make his diplomatic mis- sion a means to an end, and that he might reap some of its best fruits on American soil. It is re- marked here as a noticeable co in cidence that the two Presbyterian Diviues who have been accredited to Liberia, have died at their post of duty, while J. Milton Turner and and John H. Smyth came back splendid specimens of robust health- fullness. Lhave spoken to two Presbyte- rian ministers of this fact and while they will not admit that any super- Stition enters into their make up, they say they would not accept the mission to Liberia for any compen- sation maginable. The emigration society recsntly organized in Washiugton has been subjected to some severe criticism at the hands of some well known colored men here. A prominent educator in one of -our institutions of learning said to me very recent- ly that it looked strange to see Fred. Douglass, the great Negro champion, the president of an or- gan zation to promote an object which the great Douglass bad not long since bitterly opposed, He q ioted, with effect, a passage from oue of Mr. Douglass’ anti-emigra tion speeches, in which he said; “A man that is’nt worth five cents on this side of the river, wou't be worth five on the other side, so it is not worth while to send him over.” Then again thename of the | vice president is not likely to excite much lvve or administration among colgred people who know the atti tude of bis family toward the race. Without expressing any opinion on this question ofemigration, I would simply say that it isearuestly hop- ed that this newly formed society wil not “spirit” these colored peo ple aw:y from their homes in the South on another ill-fated Azore expedition, or promise them an El- dorado which they cannot even hope to find. Lieutenant Wilson of the “Guards” told me this morning that his company was treated splendid ly at the Dekall ce em nies in An- napolis yesterday, and that the officers of the company wined and dined with the officers of the Fifth regiment and the Governors Guards. This lovks queer for Mayland, but it is a true index to the gradual change in public senti- ment which is unmistakably going on. Colored Citizen. ae THE PLAINDEALERS REPORT ON LABOR ADOPTED. Mr. Pelham, editor of the Detroit Plaindealer, submitted the follow- ing report on labor to the Press convention that met at Atlantic City, which was adopted. Whereas, in the movement to el- evate the race ; todisabuse the pub- lic mind of the ,wnreasoning preju- dices against it; aud to give the Afro-American aun equal chance in the struggle for existence. Beit re- solved that organization is the first necessity, so that all forces at our command can be concentrated to a common end, and that strength may command the respect that justice has not accorded. 2. Resolved, thatthe establish- ment of amicable relations between the two races can be best secured through the mediums of such or- ganizations as the Kuights of La- bor and kindred bodies that have evinced an interest in the welfare ot the Afro-American, and have dered us the benefits of their sev- eral orders to use their utmost ef- forts to dignify labor of the South, and raise it from the degraded con- dition it now obtains in certain see- tions. 4. Resolved, that the establish- ment of bureaus of labor statisties be maintained by the general gov- ernment, that we may arrive at a correct knowledge of the education- al, moral and fiuancial condition of Afro-American laborers; and that the information thus received may be applied to the future improve- mens of the race. 5. Resolved, that the enactment of such Jaws be demanded as will com- | pel employers to pay their employ- ees in lawful money for their labor to the extent of their full wages, and that we call upon these organi- zations to resist the anticipation of the fruits of labor by designing speculators. 6. Resolved, that the Press be a unit in advocating the line of pol- icy as may be adopted by this con- vention concerning the Afro-Amer- icn’s relation to labor. oe STRAY SHOTS.
