Republican and Democratic papers are all, with few excepticns, deeply and darkly tinged with race prjudice, Wit- ness the two leading duilies here, one Republiean and the other Democrat, one prints amalicious falsehood, ‘the other, pretending always to be our friend, has been as silent as a harp unstrung. We need a paper owned by colored capital, edited and controlled by colored talent, one that knows our need anc is thorough- ly in eympathy with us, one that will for- ever batter away the huge walls of pros- cription and discrimination till they tum- ble down. It might be arzued that we are not able to ee" such a paper but that is not true, There are enough colored pee- ple who subscribe to the daily papers published here to support a colored daily handsomely, but tue coloured men who have money will not yentue it, there is another way, orgauiz: a company, place solid, reliable men at ts head, make the stock of such small yaluc, say @1 00, (one doliar,) per share, so that every colcred man and woman coull have a fiuancial interest in its success. Merchants who recognize the value of advertising would gladly avail themselves of of t!.e opportu- nity, White men who love to encourage colored energy would subscribe, - thers would subscribe to itonly frem curio-i y to see how colored talent anu brains weukl manage such an enterprize.

We desire to say to cur distin- guisied correspondent that we are making preperations to issue a eemi-weekly Bee and should we succeed we assure him that a daily paper will be attempted. What . we ask is the support of the peo- ple and we assure you that such a paper will be published at the National Capital that will be an honor to the race. We are willing to publish a daily paper as soon as possible if the people want it, and that can be better manifested by the people seuding in their names at once. The “ Llon.(?) A'phapetical C.

The -ebool board selected this house in adisreputable neighborhood for school purposes. On account of the long distance of the church there was a slim attendence pres- ent. After an invocation by Rev. W. H. Draper, the pastor of Evenezer church, and the singing of a hymn, a permanent organization of the meeting was effected by the elec~ tion of Mr. Atkinson as chairman and J. D. Baltimore as secretary, The chair appointed a committee on resolutsons, as follows: J. H. Brook, Daniel Webster, Rev. W. J. Howard, Rev. Walter Brooks and Rev. W. H. Draper, who at once retired. Mr. Henry Jobngon, ex-school trustee, was called upon and he responded by saying that he was crowded Banneker and Cook schools, in which over three hun- dred children are forced to attend but halfa day, notwithstanding the rule of the school board that no schools above the 8rd _ grades shall be run on the half day plan.

A like oath was adminis ster School, and, inview of Inspec- tor Enfwisle’s recomendation that the building is perfectly safe and suitable, why is it, he asked, that the colored children are driven trom that respectable neighbor- hood into one of the worst immor- al mud holes in the city ? and through the chairman, Mr. J.

Rev. W. H.
