ERAL WORTHY DISAGREES. IS O'HARA A BOLTER? While we have nothing to ask from the administration it is grat- ifying to us to state that compe- tent colored ladies and gevtlemen are being promoted to positions worthy of their ability. When secretary Lamar was made a cabi- net officer he was criticised and condemned as being unfit for the position. Although he is a dem- ocrat and once served in the con- federate army, we cousider him one of the fairest and just men an- der Mr. Cleveland’s administra« tion. A few days ago Mr. H. C. Bruce, brother of Ex-register B. was A. J. Linn and_ several others. In the Patent office’there PROMOTIONS IN THE PENSION OFFICF. SECRETARY LAMAR PROMOTES SEV- COLORED MEN.

The | ment of the American troops went to capture General Burgoyne they found his room door locked but a negro batted it open with his head. It is possible that the skull of this door-butting negro was more thick and solid than is common to his race; but itis really a physical character of the negro tobe thus endowed with this means of aggres- sion. Nor is it likely would he be better off if curtailed of this endow- ment. c sive to certain republican male and female clerks, and who was transferred from the finance divis- ion to the file division, thence to the educational division, thence to the depredation division, thence ply because she was distasteful to certain republican clerks. She was reinstated by Mr. Lamar and a few days ago promoted. There are republicans in office to day more inimical to the Negro than Some democrats. Is the democratic administration under obligation to the colored voter? As we have heretofore stated, we did all in our power to defeat the party now in power, and we ure tree to say that the colored office holders, to an extent, are doing well. While they have been re- moved in the states, it is because they have allied themselves to one party. The time has vome for us to be independent in politics and while the veteran editor of the CHICAGO CONSERVATOR agrees with us to a certain extent he reasons well when he says that while Mr, Cleveland is a good man a portion of the democratic It is said that along the coast of Guinva, which supplie the slave trade in the United States, South America, and the West India Is- lands, the negro is found to be in a very rade state and of. repulsive feautares, while further back, in the interior, there are to be found many tribes which like the Fan tribe are “fine looking, warlike, in- genious and skillful in the working of iron.” What a picture was pre- sented at the village of Ujiji on lake Tanganyeka, in the very heart of Atrica a few years ago. Not in the swamps or jungles in- vested by venomous serpents and wild beasts, but on a beautiful tabe land the home of the deer and the gazelle, of luxuriant vines, grasses and palms surrounding a lake of very crystal stocked with trout and bass and fifteen hundred miles from either ocean, What do we see?

Then he stands Sanday morning teaching the doctrine of the chris- tian religion to hundreds of natives with whom he had spent- many months.

We | have before us a circular, giving | the proceedings of the convention that was held-in the 2d NORTH CAROLINA DISTRICT. If the circular is correct, Mr. O'Hara is the regular nominee of the republicans in that district. If the letter that was sent us and published some time ago is cor- rect, Mr. Abbott is tae regular nominee. With no disposition to do either gentleman a wrong it is hoped that the difficulty will be settled to the satisfaction of the | republican voters in that district.

SENATORS BRUCE AND BOY. HOW THE BLACK MAN REMINDED THE WHITE OF A FORMER INTERVIEW. “A singular incident, worth re- lativg, occurred when Iwasa mem- ber of the Senate,” said Blanche K. Bruce, of Mississippi. “I had never exchanged a word with Mr. Bogy, then a Senator from Missou- ti. We knew each other merely by sight. One day, to my surprise, Senator Bogy came to my desk and explained that he was much inter— ested in the passage of a certain bill; there was nothing in it ofa political nature, and he invoked my active assistance in to help him pass the measure. He did not then but I wellremembered the cireum- stance, [I listened to his statement and then replied about as follows: “Jt will afford me pleasure, Sen- ator, to oblige you in any way, but, really, you used me so shamefully had together I am suspicious of you.” “*-Why, sir, what do you mean? excitedly replied the Missouri Sen- ator. realize that we had ever met before, | in the last business transaction we | line on each side of 14th street, op- posite the City Hall, in charge’of ‘their respective teachers.
