The Re- corder should make an immediate change in the office, as complaint has been made of deeds being changed. If the Recorder doubts this assertion the Bex has certain while oth- | information in its possession which will be quite valuable. An inves- tigation of the office should be de manded forthwith, and if. thereis not an immediate change made, the administration will be placed in disrepute. There is more favoritism practic- ed in the office than any office un- der the government. Mr. Matthews has not attempted to control the office and neither has Mr. Loguen been assuming.

THE CORRUPT SOUTH. . 4 (Continued from the 1st page) but we know of no method to ar. gue away or force down what may be called the cast of color. “I do not agree with the learned devine for since the reconstruction of the Union, the South has never tried to bind the Negro in chains. But some have burst their bands as- sunder, and walked away. r However will push along, as the color line is not the question at is- sue, will answer you ata more pleasing date. The South since 1865, has. ever entertained the same old idea of the Negro, that we will hold you and cram in the spoils. But anoth- er day has dawned and with it another generation has sprung up bringing with it the words of right aud justice written on their hearts. Such an important ques tion should be announced trom the pulpit. It should be carried into silent meditation, and acted upun at once. Do you think, if we were any other race, but the Ne- gro, and being situated in the South, as we are, that your Gov- at Washington would suffer a race to be butchered, duily as we are? No, why uot protect us, as well as, the Chinaman? The last race on God’s earth. Now, you see in the Negro race a prominence which is fast coming into notice, and you say among yourselves let him die a horrid death. No truer sentimeps, could not have come from the‘ South, "than that above. Some say we will pray, and hope for a change All very good, God doesn’t say pray and stand still, but he re quires us to make a persistent ef- fort to help ourselves. -*Whoso- ever shedeth mans blood by man shall his blood be shed.” If they cause your blood to be shed, then retaliate, and let the two streams flow together. If the head of your Government at Washington be vitiated what must we think of the little streams that issue there- from, ere they reach modern Naza- reth the silent South. We who have the Negro at heart let bim peruse carefully the administration of Abraham Lincoln, from March 4th 1861, to that of Grover Cleve- land, and yon will not find during those twenty-six years, that half so many colored men have been lynched, as during the present administration. And not a word has he said, either pro or con. Since he thinks iuis not expedient, we deem it most essential to protect ourselves, And we will do it, ifthrough blood we wade. “Mine ear is pained, my soul is sick with every days report of wrong and outrage with which the earih is filled.” But as the times change we change with it. And hence, glad news greets us from Berea Kentucky, stating thata colored man has been protected from a mob, by the speedy action of the Mayor of the above name Town. Something worthy of note in the history of Kentucky. The law is all right, the order of protec- tion comes from the execution. of the law, and by it the violent, and thirsty mob, that assembled in the town just named, was soon quelled by the calling out of the State Malitia, and the gatling guns. Long live the Mayor, and may his in life ever be for right and justice, without regard, for | what may be called the cast of color. However I must not tarry. Do yeu tell me that in a state like | South Carolina, where the colored | people out number the whites by two that they cannot protect them- selves? No, Lf you my friends have not that pluck and energy which | every true, and honest citizen of| the United States should have for the protection of his life, I cannot give it to you; I can only inspire you to use your manhood, and that at once. Dear friends will it be for our children if we leave this question for their inheritance. Yes, thesticking point is coming. | The reason that the Negro vote is divided to day in the North, and FOR RATIFICATION. ANNEXATION OF AFRICA, In the Senate on Monday, Sen. Davis, of Baltimore, a decendent of Mr. J. S. Davis, who flourished in the 19th Centuary asa _ practi- cioner, called the attention of the Senate to senator’s Chase’s consti- tutional amendment to protect innocent white people in the South. He wanted it understood that this poor and unfortunate people must. be protected against these as- sassins. Senator Langston, of Peters- burg, Va., objected to the imme diate consideration of the amend- ment. He informed the Senate that business of the more impor- tance should occupy the attention of the Senate. Mr. Chase, said that there was nothing more important then the immediate consideration of this protection amendment. A vote was taken which resulted in the con sideration of the amendment. THE 25TH AMENDMENT. - Be it enacted by the Senate and the House of Representatives in Congress assemble |, that it shall be unlawful for any citizen in the 45 States to molest a citizen of any state in the full exercise of his political rights; and if any one is known to prevent any citizen from voting his choice at any State or national election, shall upon conviction pay a fine of 5000 dollars and be impris- oned for 5 months. In the eyent said person or persons be unable top-:y afine of- $5000, shalt be imprisoned in the penitentiary for a period of 5 years. Be it further enacted, if the Gov- ernor of any State or territory refuses to call out the State mili- tia, for the purpose of surpressing a riot orany unlawful act be perper- trated by any citizen or citizens, the President of the United States shall use his own discretion in the matter, All other constitutional amendments contrary to this act are hereby repealed. On motion of Senator Chase, the amendment was ordered to be submitted tothe 45 States and territories for ratification. A bill for the restoration of suf- frage in the District of Columbia was taken up and passed by the Senate. It isthe same Dill that was passed by the House. The general impression is that the 25th amendment to the constitution will not be ratified by a majority ot the States and territories. Never before in the history of the govern- ment has there been a meas- ure that created such a sensation. It is not known how the president stands, but the general impression is that the measure will result in a revolu- tion. The political crisis is at hand and the two political parties may at any time come in collision. THE S¢HOOL BoARD met last evening and decided to abolish separate schools in the District of Columbia. The white people are highly gratified and boldly assert that there is no reason why they should be dis— criminated against ; that they want to enjoy the same school facilities as the colored schools. ANNEXATION OF AFRICA. Senator Frederick Douglass, of Auacostia, introduced a bill in the Senate to day to annex Afri- ca tothe United States. The bill was favorably received and it is quite likely that it will be opposed by the 5 white Senators, and 25 representatives in the house. It is | said that the bill will no doubt be | passed by a large vote. SOCIETY NOTES. The President’s public reception will receive the president of Li- beria Tuesday. Mrs. Postmaster Keckley will not receive Tuesday. She will assist the President and hig wife.
