WHAT HE SAYS AND HOW HE WAS TREATED. Prof. Arthur Langston, son of Hon. John M. Langston, Ex-U. 8. | | misister to Hlayti, arrived in the| jcity accompanied by his mother }and others, irom Petersburg, Va., | this week. It hus been seven | years since Mr. Lungston visited |the city. He is the principal of one of the largest schools in St. Louis, Mo. Mr. Langston is af- fiable and polite in his manners | and a young man of ability and \ education. He isa ready talker and a logical debater. In speak- ing ofthe Virginia people, Mr. j Langston suid that in no state has he been would he want to be better treated than in the state of Virginia by both white and color~ ed people. During his brief visit in Petersburg, Mr. Langston said, that every attention was shown his mother and father and in tact the whole family. In speaking ot the colored people Mr. Lang- ston said, that they must organize and support their own enterpris— es. The cvlored people havea great future before them and he believes that they should belike all other organizatious in this coun- try, which will bring them upon an equal footing. ee ee TO THE PEOPLE OF WASH- INGTON, A CARD, A series of articles having been published in the Bee charging a certain department clerk with hav- ing made the remark that, “Every Washington woman had her price” has been brought to my attention. The name used in the charge, al- though faulty in autography, left no doubt in the mind of the reader as to who was referred to, A thor- ough investigation of the subject has developed the following facts : W.C. Chase, the editof of the Bee asserts that Mr. Henry Johnson told him that I made the remark, and upon this information only, was the charge published. Mr. Johnson’s letters upon the matter are printed in another column. In addition permit me to say, I have never spoken one word against the women of Washington to any hu- man being in my life; and in future should any one speak disparaging- ly of, or maligning the people of Washington, put the assertion. down as a base slander, and he or she who asserts it, a vile Liar. The Accused. et eee ee ADVOCATES’ EXCURSION. A PLEASANT EDITOR, COMPANY GREETS TIE The Peoples’ Advocate of this eity, Mr. J. W. Cromwell — editor and proprtetor, gave au excursion t Manor Park Wednesday after- noon. There were about 150 peo- ple present who enjoyed everys thing the ee asion offered. Tad itnot been for the rain there would have been a larger crowd present. The long service of edi- tor Cromwell, gratutiously ren- dered to this community entitled him toa larger turnout, notwith: standing the rain. Those who were active in their efforts to make the picnic a success were, Mr. Geo. IL. Barnes, Miss Jose. phine Davis and others. ‘They were atliable and pleasant to all and did ali in their pover to make the oceasion an enjoyable one, Manor Park is one of the finest resorts on the Potomac and those who failed to attend the Advocate excursion misced a treat. CULVEPPER, VIRGINIA, [Special correspondence. | Ep. BEE—I beg leave to express in a few words through your most valuable paper my impression of the beautitul Little town of Culpep- per, and its hospitable peopie, The town is small and the destruetive effects of tbe recent fire that des- tioyed some of its most handsome buildings can therefore be easily seen, nevertheless it bears eve mark of progress except there is not one Spark of ligut turnished by the town authorities, which makes it very Objectionable on a dark night. Ihave never met a kinder people. One thing remarkable, and was indeed very surprising to me was, to see all of the colored sunday Schools taught by white teachers; not that there are no colored people here capable of teaching, for there are nambers of them qualified to teach sunday school or any other school of a low grade as some of them are. The Teachers Nommal Institute bas been in session here about six weeks. Prot.stone is the princi pal assisted by Miss Bolden of { Lynchburg, Va. Rey. Geriah Lamkins, of Wast- ington, addressed the institute from 12 m. to 1 p.m., onthe 16th. His speech was well received and inost favorably commented upon by both white and colored. The Literary exercises of the In- stitute were t:eld last evening at which Miss Bolden and Miss Glad- mon, of Lynchburg, Va., seemed to form the centre of attraction, the former being a very highly gifted vocalist and the latter a graceful 1 Penn., March 27, 1803. and accomplished organist. Mr. Gaskins, of W. Va., received many able applauses for the able manner in which he debated the subject, “Resolved, that corporal puuish- ment should be banished from the public schools of Virginia.” Miss Marshall read a short but very sweet essay. The colored churches are doing well, all of which are Baptist. Messrs. Mason Taylor, J. Harvey and others of Washington, D. C., have spent part of the summer in Culpepper. Rey. Mr. Lamkins is the guest of Miss Bettie Parker. Yours, se., Lizzie Wallace IN MEMORIAM. Rev. Edward E. Bennett, an old and respected citizen, died at his residence in this city Saturday August 13th. Rev. Bennett was born in Carlisle Cumberland, Co, Ile was a Mason and none to equal him in the state of his birth. He en- tered the masonic fraternity De- cember 1841, and has filled every office in the subordinate and as well as the Grand Lodge in the state ot Penn., with credit and honor to himself and the lodges. One special act of his was the or- ganization of Hervines of Jerico, in the city of Harrisburg July 1st 1853, and subsequently severai oth er numbers of said order. Ue ren-~ dered 45 yea's service as apreach er of the gospel with great dis- tinction. No man was more re spected in this city than Rev. Bennett. His funeral took place from the 4th Baptist church Mon- day afiernoon at 30’clock. Rey, Robert Johnson assisted by Rev. Dillard preached the funeral ser- mon. The death of this well known citizen has caused great lamentation among those who knew him well. Rev. Johasons’ sermon was forcible and eloquent. He reviewed the history of his life in most graphic language and concluded by exhorting all to live the life of Rev. Bennett. oo NATHANIEL DAVIS’ MUR- DERER. A PROBABLE CLUE TO THE PARTIES WHO COMMITTED THE DEED WHAT WAS FOUND IN HIS POCK- LTS, Nathaniel Davis, who was mur— derously assaulted several weeks ago and whose, assailants were un- known have been probably found out. It issaid that Mr. Davis was in the company of his brother-in- law, Mr. 'T. W. Dodson until 12 o’- clock. Mr. Dodson left him at the corner of 7th and F sts., n. w., and young Davis went into the Federal Building, the place he had in charge. Mr. Davis was in the best of health when his brother-in law left him. It is supposed that Mr. Davis was called out by his assailants after his brother-in-law left, who had been watching and waiting for him on the south east side of 7th street, which was very dark. After being struck he lin- gered in a semi-conscious state until he died. While in this con- dition he endeavored to inform those at his bed-side who his as- sailants were. In his pockets were found certain letters from persons whose names have not yet been published, who made threats, who are supposed to be the parties who committed the murder, The let- ters are very compromising in char- acter, and there is no doubt but that the guilty persons will be ar- rested in the next 24 hours, Young Davis was a quietly disposed kind of man, and was never known to alo anyone an injury. No young man was more respected, and be- ing of a hberal and generous dis position he won a host of friends. —— — THE BAPTISE S. 8. UNION. ALEX. HAMILTON REELECTED. REV.(?) W.H. SCOTT SLAUGHTERED. Mr. Alexander Hamilton, @ young man of much executive a- bility aad influence in this city: has beeu president of the Baptis' Sunday School Union for a num- ber of years. It has been mainly through his efforts that the Union has become such a power in this city, and surrounding counties. For some time there has been a quiet oppesition - working again: t him by one, Rev.(?) W. H. Scott, who at one time took au active part in politics, but who is now 2 conducting a bookstore on F' st., | ana and who seems to be'the bone of contention in this good institution. | Last Sabbath afternoon the an- nnal election of officers was held in Enon Baptist Church, C street, be- tween 6 «nd 7 steets, s. @., Rev. Thomas pastor. Several weeks prior to this meeting it 1s said that | Rev.(?) Scott has been canvassing | for the presidency of the Union, | and boastfully asserted that he! would be elected. At 3o’clock the! meeting was calied to order, Hon.| Solomon G. Brown, poet laureate} of the Philomathian Literary So- ciety, read a poem, which he dedi cated to Mr. Hamilton, reviewing bis many excellent qnalities and | his labors among his people. He} concluded by complimenting the secretary. Key. W. J. Howard, | who is at all times welcomed aud greeted by his hearers, made his apnu | report and turned over to the sec’ty the money he had in hand and asked to be relieved from office. The people know when | they have good men, hence Rev. Howard could not be relieved. After the general order of exer- cises, and reports of the supposed retiring oflicers, the election for president took place. Scott who had been boasting of an easy vie- tory over Mr. Hamilton, did not receive one vote, not even his own, which he would have casted for himself, but he was asbamea. Poor Scoot met with a Waterloo and concluded that selling record books and discussing politics would be more appreciated by those who did not vote for him last Sabbath afternoon. The Baptist Sunday School Union is composed of Bap- tist Sunday Schools and has done more good in the community than all other denominations in the city. Mr. Alexander Hamilton the reelected president is known by all denominations and liked. THE LIGHT RUNNING <> New Home Sewing Machine Co. —ORANGE, MASS.— 30 Unlon Square, N.Y. Chicago, Hil.
