OUR WEEKLY REVIEW. A COLORED DELEGATION INSULTED AT THE WHITE 0USE BY A NEGRO MESSENGER. WILL PRESIDENT CLEVELAND CONTINUE, TO RETAIN THIS NEGRO? HE WILL REVIEW THE EMANCIPATION DAY PARADE. THE COLORED PEOPLE INDIGNANT. Our statement relative to Ne- gro messengers in the several aepartments of the government is being confimed everyday. ‘The eplored people receive more iv- sults from some Negro messeb- Coats sold for $15 now $g, Suits that sold for $12 to $20 at less|gers than they do from those in authority. The colored delega- tion of citizens that called on the President Monday was grossly in- sulted by the Negro messenger ‘Arthur Simmons, ‘This is the second time they have been insult- ed by this ignorant Negro. The delegation as will be seen in the report fromthe vening Star, ar- rived at the Executive Mansion about 11 o’clock. The President’s messenger, Mr, Charles Leafler, Sample Suits and all styles of men’s | was asked if the President couid be seen, he politély . informed the committee that the President was engaged with the ostmaster General and if the committee could return about 1 o’clock the President could be seen. As the committee’s business was only that of requesting» the President to review the Emancipation day parade, it was thought that Col. Lamont could answer the ques tion,so Mr, Leafler requested us to sev the Negro Simmous. On_be- ing asked whether Col. Lamont evuld be eeen, he (Simmous) jabruptly suid, nu. He was then jasked it he would take a note tu | Col. Lamont. No, said the Ne- | gro Simmons, i! you want to send hima uote put it in the mail and he will get it the next day. This wus murethan the committee could stand, so Mr. Leafler the President’s messenger consented himself to carry tue committees eard to Mr. Pruden, the President’s | Private age stant secretary, which resulted in receiving a favorable reply trom the President. We take this occasion to say that the President will not be bothered with any more colored delegations so long as he keeps this insulting Negro in his em« ployment. ‘lhe committee that cailed on the President merely wanted to pay respect to him and request him to do that which. we could as well do without. We ussure the President it he wants the respect and contidence of the colored people he will discharge this Negro immediately. We see by the Gate City Press of Kansas city, Mo., that MR. L. MURRAY BROWNE, formerly of this city has been stricken with paralysis. On awakening the other morning one side of his body was paralized. The many friends of this young :man deeply sympsthize with him ‘and hope thai he will soon recoy- er, The PROCESSION next Monday willbe one of the largest that has ever taken place in this city. The chiet marsiall’s staff has been completed and will be one of the largest ever witness- ed. We advise that all females keep out of the street and show thut we van have a parade worthy of tLe colored people. —o es, “COMPANY, FALL IN!” < TUE LOMAX NOT TO BE SCARED OFF BY BUGABOOS. GOING TO WASH- INGTON FOR FUN, NoT MONEY. Captain Frank P. Davis was found at the Armory last night and sbown the following article from the Advertiser. After a look at the contents he said: We are in favor of the drill, rain or shine, dark horse or no dark horse.” Then drawing forth a copy of the rules ot entries in the National Drill, he read section 8. The committee claim the right to acvept or reject auy entry for the drill. Then again he remarked, ‘It may be an April Fool?” The Captain continued: Please correct the public idea that we are going to Washington to carry off the prize money. We are going more tor the benefit of the trip, to see the country, and have-some re- | creation and fun. If our company drill the last of the week we would not have any fun at all, if we were competing for the prize. The com- pany 18 @ young one——ouly four years.old, and ought not to be ex- pected to win in the competition | with old companies. «Compan-ny fall in!” Tue following is the Advertiser’s article : Court, Us Gat---LThe Upshot of the | Great National Drill—Three Negro Companies Have Enter: ed and that “Do” Settle It- -- The Greys and Blues Will} Withdraw and Other Southern Companies Will Likely Follow Suit---Better All"’Come Here. The entries for the National | Drill, to take place in Washington | next month closed yesterday. The | news that three colored companies | had entered for the drill was receiv- | eu yesterday evening, andit crea. | ted quite a flatter and stir among the military companies of Mont- | gomery. About ten days ago Capt. M. H. Awmerine, of the Greys, telegraphed the managers of the drill at Wash- ington and asked them if any col- ored companies had entered. In response to the enquiry they re-| plied by telegraph that while the | entries were open for colored com- panies, uo such company had been | about Dr. Bull’s Cough ’ Syrup, which had just cared her of a dreadful cough. OOS oe INDIGNANT COLORED MEN. They Call atthe White House, toseethe President. BUT ARE BLUFFED BY THE MESSEN- GERS-—THEY FINALLY GET A NOTE TO THE PRESIDENT, WHO ACCEPTS THEIR INVITATION TO REVIEW THE EMANCIPATION DAY PARADE. As was announced in The Star of last Saturday, the committee of colored citizens appointed to wait | on the President called at the Exee- utive Mansion this morning at 11 o’clook. They were Chas. H. Marshall, chairman; W. H. Jack- son, Rev. Robert Johnson, J. W. Branson, ©, H. Turner, and W. Calvin Chase. The committe state that ou their arrival the messenger at the President’s door informed them that the President was engag- ed with the Postmaster General and could not be seen. Leaving this messenger, the committee next call on Col. Lamont’s messen ger, Arthur Simmons, colored, aad requested him to take in a caru, which he declined to do, saying that he asked Col. Lamont before the committee arrived whether they had an eugagement with him and that Col. Lamout said ‘*No.” entered. Yesterday Capt. Amerine | 4 ROW WITH A COLORED MESSEN- telegraphed the same inquiry to| the management and received in reply the information that three colored companies had entered. An Adverti-er reporter circulated freely among the soldier boys last night and found them ail ve much stired up and indignant over | the unexpected turn of affairs. They are unanimous in the decision to take no part in the great Wash- ington dill. Suce the coiored military companies have been counted in, the Gallant Greys and Mr. Chase then asked Simmons whether be wouldu’t take iu a card to Col. Lamont. Simmons answered : | SNo, sir, L wou’t do anything of the kind, and neither you nor any | oue else can see Col. Lamont.” | The committee got very iudig- nant, aud Mr Chase says Summons | was Very insulting. | Inthe meantime the President’s | messenger came up and carried Mr. ;Chase’s card into Mr. Pruden. | The committee retired to a private room and Mr. Chase wrote the fol- Bonnie Blues want to be counted out. Jt will be seen by a notice in another column ‘that the Biues have called a meeting for to night, when the company will probably take some action in the matter. Lt may be considered settled that no Alabama companies will have any part in the Washington drill, and itis not at all likely that any Southern companies will be willing to take part in it and drill on the same grounds with the colored mnilitary. The Southern companies ought to settle the matter by having a big prize drill of their own in Montgomery. They have drilling with the expectation of go- ing to Washington, and since they can’t go there they ought to get up a Southern prize driil. gemery is the place for it. The companies are all well drilled and in fine trim for a contest. MONTGOMERY, April 2.—News published here that the negro com panies have entered for the Natiou- al Drill at Washington creates a great deal of talk. Moutgomery had entered two Greys and the True Blues. will unanimously withdraw. The! officers and men are all of one way | of thinking. Members of compa-| nies here say every Southern com- pany will withdraw without doubt, | at least all that they have met and | whose seutiments they know. | A movement is all ready ou foot | to have an interstate drill at Mont- | gomery. The Greys and Biues | will take official action to-night. | The Church Extension Board of the M. E. Church South is in ses- | sion in this etty. Bishop MeTyere of Nashville is presiding.

Mr. Chase informed Mr. Pru- deu that the wvegro messenger, Simmons, had insulted the commit- tee. Mr. Pruden said that Simmous had no right to do that.

During the quiet season of lent there las been but little going on among the people of Cleveland, but. Easter Sunday has brought a welcome change. The shop.win- dows are biilliant with new spring tabrics, bonnets and hats and the fashionable woman gives addition- al thanks since she knows that no bonnet was more beautiful than hers on Eas er day. Enster afternoon at four.o’e!ock Rev. R. A. Johnson, of St. Johns A. M. EB. Church, preached the annual sermon to the Ezekiul Commandery Kuights Templars, the music on the occasion was very fine. The choir of St. Johns S.M. E. Chureh* will give a series’ of Grand Concerts and a Bazaar at the church during Eas- ter week of which I will say more in my next letter. The Young Men’s Pleasure Club have issued invitations tora full dress ball to be given Easter Thureday; this promises to be the grandest. affair of the season, us this clabhas never been surpass- ed by any us entertainers, Miss Mary M.

At this time of the year the place seemed very preity with its broad streets and board waiks. The place has increased grea'ly in population, & I was told that those who lived there fifteen or twenty years ago would scarcely know it; the «vid college buildings are fast giving away to modern stone ones. Mr. Jacob Stroyer, a student of theology iu the cullege, kindly escorted me throush the different vuildings. We went through Waruer’s Hall the new conserva~ tory of musie and Peters Hall the hew recitation buiiding from base- ment to rvof, both of these build- ings are of the most approved styles of architecture with every convenienee.
