It wasa white mans demonstration while the Negro soldiers and citizens marched behind the music. .Hon. John C. Black, Commis- siover of Fension’s has sulmit- ted his annual report to the sec- retary of the Interior. It is well éompiled and shows a great imcrease in work and a good system is adopted in putting this work into execution. We have been infvurmed that Mr. Levi Cromwell of Philadel- phia had nothing todo with the late Douglass banquet. We take pleasure in making the ecrrection. It was acold bauquet, it makes no difference who served it. We meant no reflection on the editor THE 15TH ST. PRESBYTERI. AN CHURCH. The members of the 15th St. Presbyterian church acted wisely Thursday night by not selling the church property for the small sum of $50.000. Just as the Bre suggested, from 80 to $100.000 was asmall amount and it Mr. McLean chooses to give that, perhaps the members will sell but not before. GRANT AND LINCOLN. The Atlanta Defiance has proposed Fred Grant and Robert Lincoln as suitable presidential timber for 1888. Now, the Republican party can not risk these two gentlemen upon the repu- tation of their fathers, but it wants to nominate two men who can be elected up on thelrown merits. John Sherman is the one who shonld have the first place on the ticket and he can be elected upon his own merits and not his father’s. Nobody denies that these two gentlemen are pop- ular, and the nomination of Mr. Grant as secretary of state of the state of New York, doubtless Increases his popularity, but do the country know of the good that he and Lincoln have done to demand tle highest positions inthe lands. No, Sir; as- pirants for the presidency must have some other prestige besides being sons of great-men. One of them might possibly do for the second place, but the proposi- tion to fill the first by either, is premature. —Marion Headlight”. The age of sentiment has passed. We have no objection to Lincoln, but we do objetc to Grant,as he is alittle pusilanimous fop, who ex- pects to be elected secretary of state of New York on the name and reputation of his father. » Whenever Brother Chase of the Washington Bee tries to be either original, or funny, be makes a mess of it— The Freeman, It is not every one who can make a mess.
