SLANDEROUS STATEMENTS MADE BY C H J, TAYLOR, LATE U. 8, MINISTER RES- IDENT AND CONSUL GENERAL TO LIBERIA; CONCERNING THE GOV- ERNMENT AND PEOPLE OF LIBERIA. BY F. E, R. JOHNSON, MONROVIA. Dedicated to W. Catvin Cuasr, Editor of the Washington “Bre” Who so ably exposed this false pre- fections; and is known and respected in Liberia, as the only man, in America, who has dared to refute the culated by him concerning Liberia. By the Author. ANSWER: (Continued from last week.) As we have before stated, a great many of the officials of the Government are not dependent on their salaries; and one of them could afford to feed this same Tay- lor, during the whole of his stay here, without seeing the color of his money. It is said—, the man We believe it now. Forty Thousand dollars! Why if his huge carcass were sold at a dollar a pound it would scarce- ly bring over $300.00, and the re- mainder of his possessions includ ing his wardrobe would scarcely realize $50.00. Is this the act of a wealthy man——to boast of his great wealth and live on the cbari- ty of others under false pretenses? O Taylor! thou art an ungrateful wretch. “The Secretary ofthe Interior came to call on me and announced himself as ex-Secretary Of State, ex-Envoy Extra- ordinary and Minister P!enipotentiary to the Court of Spain, ex-Superintendent of the Department of Agriculture apd Immigration and present Secretary of the Interior, and he was rigged out in a linen duster of the vintage of ’54, a Dr Mary Walker green umbrella and a silk hat.” This is a threefold 1—. First the position of Secretary of the January ’§7; Second, nv citizen of Liberia has ever been Envoy Ex- traordinary and Minister Plenipo- tentiary to the Court of Spain; and third, during the whole of his stay here, Taylor saw no onewith a linen duster on. Jealousy is said to be green-eyed. Therefore Tay- lor being jealous of the superiority of the Liberians with whom he came in contact, everything ap- peared to him green. Weacknowl- edge that silk hats are worn iD Liberia, but must say that we are not accustomed to couvert our hat boxes into cigar cases as Taylor did. That must be the latest style. If so we must confess that we are behind the age in this respect, “Liberia isa misnomer. The people there are not free. As a matter of fact slavery exists as surely as it ever did in America, only the masters there are black as well as the slaves.’’ In answer to this we will simply qnote the words of Rev. John Seys, late United States Minister to Liberia.—- “The sentiment I propose gentlemen is “Liberia”—a name implying Liberty —Liberty in the most extensive sense of the term. In her atmosphere the sl ve cannot breathe; in her constitution the protection of all classes of men to the the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is secured in her STATUTE BOOK liberty of speech and of the press dare not be infringed,” Now -let us see if Taylor’s state- ments bave been perfectly con- sistent with each other, and if there are no discrepancies in his testimony. He informs one repor- ter that our men wear simply a plag bat and umbrella, and that in additon to a plug hat aud umbrel- a great people. the Negroes of America will 190 milions while the whites will only that flows through your la, the President walks out in a linen duster. While he admits to the Editor of the “SavaANNaH Dal- Ly Toks,” that there are some people who move in the highest society who dress in the height of fasbion. You would say that their clothes were made by Poole and Worth. At one time he says that the decendants of emigrants, never live up to the third generation; at another, ‘‘The civilized part of the population numbers 12,000. These are nearly all emigrants or decend- ants of the first colonists who were sent out. His estimates, on the military, vary so widely, that it is impossible to keep ap with him. For every reporter he has a new set of figures. It is said that a I— must bave a good memory. Unluckily for Taylor, his memory is treacherous, or be l—s so fast, that he gets ahead of hismemory: Again, Taylor says at one time that the people are opposed to immigration, and yet he informs another reporter that whenever an emigrant arrives, he is met at the waterside by the musical force of the country, adrum and fife, and escorted into the town. Put it a little closer, the next time Mun- chausen. We will quote one more of his expressions and shall close. “Some Negroes ard cranky white peo- ple are * advocating miscegenation and absorption of the black race by the white. lam opposed to any such idea. T have faith in my own color Wecan work out our own salvation in our own way, and want none of your social equality.” This comes well from a man who when he arrived in Liberia was accustomed to tell the Liberians,—- _ ‘Tam black like you, and am proud of it. The Negroes are destined to become In one hundred years number number 95 milions, ‘The oppressed will then become the oppressor.” But when he came in contact with a caucasian would say, “I am so glad that the same blocd veins, flows through mine. I am _ seventh-eight white. My grand-father was a white mau. The Negro will never be anything.” But one might ask, what could have prompted Taylor to tell such glaring falsehoods. Hear what he himself says :— “But as to the future of the Negroes. My aim and object in seeking to make myself dis- tinguished is to reach a position to make them listen to me. [am only 31 years old, the youngest man in the diplomatic service, and my people will not pay any at- tention to aman, particularly a young man unless he is known and to a certain extent distinguish- ed.” If his object was to acquire notoriety, he has surely succeeded; for he will always be known in Liberia, as the greatest L—r of modern times----surpassing even Baron Munchausen, and when a Liberian wishes to acknowledge the Supremacy of one who is ac- ) eustomed to draw the long bow, he can say nothing stronger than ‘why he beats Taylor.” Rest, then, Taylor with your well earned noloriety. If it be true that all liars shall bave their portion in a lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, verily you shall receive your reward. i (To be continued.) —_- SHERMAN ACCEPTABLE TO THE SOUTHERN REPUBLI- CANS—HE CAN SECURD A LARGE CONFEDERATE VOTE, HIS CONSERVATIVE VIEWS. Mr. SHERMAN IS THE LEADING AND MOST POPULAR CANDIDATE IN THIS, THAT HE WILL COMMAND THE UNITED SUPPORT OF THE REPUE- LICANS AND OF MANY CONSERVA- TIVE DEMOCRATS IN THE SOUTH- ERN STATES. There is a large body of those men who were in the Confederate service who accept the results of the war ; they are ready to unite in all measures to secure ‘a free bal- lot and fair count;” they desire that the animosities of the war shall cease; that the ‘bloody shirt” shall no longer be waved, and that the resources and industries of the South shall be developed. Senator Mahone is one of these, and he has declared in favor of Sherman, who, more than any other candizate, is satisfactory to this conservative class. This re- sults from his pacific utterances, from his prominence as an advocate of 4 protective tariff, aud his con- servative character. In his recent Springfield (LIl.) speech Mr. Sherman said: 4 | “I do not wish to utter one word to revive the animosities of the war; that was fought out manfully | and bravely by the two contending parties, with such courage as to inspire the respect of each side for the other, and to its logical con- clusion of the complete success of the Union cause. All that Lask is that the defeated party will honor- ably fulfil the term of their surren- der, and that the results of the war may be respected and observed with honor by Confederates and firmly, but with charity and kind- ness, by Union soldiers and citi-| zens. For this appeal alike to Confederate aud Union soldiers, to the blue and the gray, so that when passion and prejudice disap- | pear both sides will stand by each other in the improvement and development of our great and} united country.” | As early as January, 1875, on the Louisiana resolution of Senater Schurz, he said: “I do with all my heart respond | to the peroration of a speech made | the other day by the Senator from | Georgia (Mr. Gardon) for peace, harmony, ant good-will. He says he is heartily sick of all this stir- ring up of passiovs. So am I. Whatever [ cau do to secure the rights of the people of Louisiaua to govern themselves according to law in harmony with the Constitu- | tion, and so as to secure them all in life, liberty, and property, this wiliI surely do. And on the 27th of April, 1886, in an address on the “New South”, he said.: | “We must not be impatient with | the New South. I see grow- | ing up every day the evidences of that feeling that this sectioual con- | troversy is at an end. , . The duty of both sections is to adopt a policy, approved by the patriotic men of both sections, that will develop the resources, improve | the cofditions, and advance the! interests of the whole’ people. The North is ready for this con- summation.” These are not isolated utterances. It was because Mr. Sherman bas made a special study of means of developing the resources of the New South—by the protection of industries, by opening new chan- nels of trade and commerce with the American republics and Brazil, by the protection of ber citizeus in all their rights, the education of her people, the growth of manufac- tories, and by peaceful relations among all the people, between all the States, and with foreign nations—that the Legeslature of Tennessee invited bim to adress that body, as he did March 24, 1887, when he avowed all these purposes, alike beneficial to the South and to the great North, whose trade will be enlarged there- by. No such iavitation has been extended by any State to avy other candidate. In his Nashville speech he said: *‘As tothe improvement of the great arteries of commerce travers- ing or bounding States, as to the: improvement of the rivers and har- | bors of the country, I believe, in common with the Republican party, that itis the duty of Congress, from such money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, from time to time to make proper appro- priations for natioval improvements. You have in Tennessee, it is said, the greatest length of navigable rivers in any State. The improve- ment of the Mississippi, Tennessee, and Cumberland rivers is of the greatest importance to your inter- nal and external commerce. His nomination means au end to the Democratic ‘Solid South, ” with Republican success in Vir- ginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, and probably other Southerp Stat- es.
