HE STILL DEFENDS THE NEGRO. WHAT HE SAYS. AMERICANS. ABROAD, &C. . Since Mr. Douglass arrived in the old country he sees the neces- sity tolay aside pleasure and de- fend the race which is so greatly abused. The following extract from a letter sent to his son Freder- ick Douglass, Jr., will demonstrate his fidelity to those in whom he has always manifested an interest. Hotel Britanique, Paris, Nov. 18, 1886. Itmay seem to you that I am here seeking pleasure only, but such is not the case. Wherever I go the cause of the whole colored race goes with me and at the bar of the public opinion of the countries where I visit, where 1 am seen and heard men think more rationally aud generously of the value of the colored race. I wish we had hundred of able colored men travelling abroad. The enemies are here as elsewhere de- scribing them as a good for nothing race, degrading them and sterring prejudice against them in speech as well as in writing. When intelli- gent colored men come abroad they speak for themselves and speak for the race as well. ee SHAKING UP THE WASHINGTON CADET CORPS. CAPT. ARTHUR BROOKS IN COMMAND.

The repoit of the Auditing Committee reviled a state of atfairsthat astounded the mem- bers generally, Bills reported as_ paid still outstanding, moneys received and collected for which no credit was given the Corps. Notes &c., charged as paid twoand three times forthe same debt. Vouchers charged forthat had not been paid at all. In one instance a forged re- ceipt discovered, reports made to show less money than received, notes renew- edand interest paid, when the notes should have been paid, and a dreadful display of mismanagement on the part of the financial officers, to call it by its mild- est name. Sothat when the balance was struck, it showed $8.75 due the Treasurer instead of $1300 to ashe claimed. A special meeting is called for Thurs- day next the 16th inst,, to mup out a course to pursue. having cut away the rotten supports and replaced them with sound timber, the building will now go on without fear of falling.

The farmers in South Carolina are again becoming alarmed at the the Exodus movement of the col- ored citizens from that state into Arkansas, and especially from the neighburhoods of Barnville and Blackville.

In Pittsburg, Pa. the churches are doing nicely. The John Wes- ley church in Arthur st., has com- pleted its meeting house, which has been in course of erection for four years, and it was dedicated on Sunday the 28th of Nov. The Rev. John H. Pryor, pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist chureh which has been so handsomely re- built on Caulwell and Miller sts., preached at the Antioch Baptist church, Green st., and greatly as- sisted them toward lifting their funds fora new edifice. Rey. Willy Simpson, formerly of this city, but one of the late pas tors in Stauaton, Va., has resigned his charge. It having been the first Sunday in the last month of the year, each pastor seemed to have di- rected the force of his eloqueuce to their latter end. It is said here by the Baptist ministers that they can hold con- ference, but no union among them selves. This is as trully strange, as itis hard for young men who think differently ; but as they have neither presiding Elder, nor Bisb- ops, to correct the evils which caused such serious dissention, they will have to wait for those corrections by the elder of con— science and the Bishop of souls. In Zanesville, O., the Zion Bap- tist church 8th st., and the St. Paul A. M. E. church are being re- vived Rev.

The municipal election which takes place in February bids fair to be one of the fiercest political | battles ever waged here since it has been a city. The elcction | takes place early in February, at | which time there will bea com-| plete change of our municipal officers, the bill knowns as the} Bullitt bill going into effect at| this time. The effect of this bill! will be to recast our whole city. government. All heads .of De-| partments not elective are to be appointed by tae new m-yor, with | out confirmation by the council.

All are = be y pointed by the new mayor, and subject to kim alone. You can understand the political power this bill gives the mayor, and the desire of party or faction to gain the vantage ground which the election of mayor will give. The Leeds and Diston faction of the republican party favor the nomination of the present District attorney Graham. McManes and Lane the other wing of the party are said t> favor Ex-mayor Stoke- ly, wh'le J. B. Kerin is the choice of the colored voters. The friends of Samuel Randall favor Col. Ches. H.
