This is not the first insult Genl. Ordway has offered the colored militia of the District. We have always asserted that the colored district malitie made a mistake when they jomed the National Guards. The negro is good enough when danger threatens the republic, tut when there is quiet restored and the feasts commence, the negro militia can come as eer- vants or some other meanals, but not as guests, Genl. Ordway can offer no ex- cuse for not mviting our colored commissioned officers to his reception. Major Moore who is known to be a demo- crat but one of the best friends to the colored people in this district, would not be guilty of any discrimination to our color ed militia. Geul. Ordway is a republican and all he is to-day was through the instrumentality of the colored people of this district. He has always pretended to have great love for the colored man, but his love is like all others, when be can use him to an advan- tage. Major Moore is a democrat and whenhe gave a reception to the military officers of this Dis- trict, he had the Hon. Robt. T. Lincoln, the secretary of war, as his special guest. Among the colored officers present were Maj C. A. Fleetwood, Adjutant Jud- son Malvin, Capt. A. Brooks, Col. F. C. Revells and others. Major Moore, personally ascertained from these gentlemen whether they were being waited npon, if not he would do the honors himself. Our public offcers are full of just such radical republicans as Genl. Ordway and he will please accept of our utter contempt for him and his National Guard organizaton. The gentlemen named above are honored and respected by the people nave: betangitga Be from this little commanding officer, General Ordway of the Dis- trict National Guards. We have just as much respect for some of our democrats as we have for some republicans and there are some democrats we care as much for as we do some republi- cans. Although we beleive in the supremacy of the republican party, we are not blind to the wrongs inflicted upon our people by those who pretend to be their friends. A WARNING. General Sherman, in an article in the North American REviEw, sounds the key-note of what will happen te the bloody South one of these pretty days. 1t was Lucius Junius Brutus that played the fool, until an opportunity presented it- self to overthrow the House of the Targuins, He threw off the yoke of idiocy ; he‘declared eternal ven- gence against Roman tyranny ; and declared universal liberty to the oppressed. The Southern colored people don’t intend to tolerate tyranny much longer; they will learn how to strike back ina man- ner that will be injurious to some- body. No truer sentiments ever fell from the lips of man than the utterances of Gen. Shermans. In speaking of the colored people, he says: “‘They still form one-tenth of our aggregate population; they were once slaves but are now free; not only free, but entitled by the constitution and law to all the privileges of Ameri- can citizenship. They areakindly, domestic and inoffensive race, and since the world began no higher | virtue was ever exercised than by these lowly people, who toiled in the fields to raise corn and food for the rebel armies in Virginia and Georgia. Every Southern gentle man who hasa spark ot knight- hood in his nature should take off his hat to the old bondsman who staid at home to care for his mis- tress and the young ladies while he himself was away fighting to des- troy our government, at d strength- en the fetters which bound his slave to the master.” Lieut. Geo. S. Contee of Den- ver, Col., will please accept our DAMAGING THE SCHOOLS. It can be seen that the mode by which Prof. Cardoza is conducting his investigation against Prof. Brown is damaging, not only to our schools, but to the pupils who have been summoned by misrepre- sentation to attend these meetings. Think of it, young ladies in the High school and teachers being compelled to go to the Franklin building and there remain from 7 te 12 o’clock, simply to satisfy this South Carolinian who has been ap- pointed principal of our High school. Way should Trustee Fran- cis, Cornish aud Gregory need so much investigation? Can’t they see that these meetings have a damag ing effect on our schools? On last Monday night, instead of these young ladies being at home getting out their lessons, they were com- pelled, through intimidation or fear of getting dismissed from school, to answer summons at the instigation of a man who was mix- ed up in the governmentof South Carolina, Must our schools meet with a similar fate? Must our young ladies, whose parents pay taxes to support our schools, be subjected to such diabolical intimi- dation? We had none of it before the appointment of Cardoza to the High School. Weare interested in the success of our schools and we don’t want to see their usefullness and benefits destroyed by any such methods as those instigated by this principal. Let the matter come to ahalt. Already sufiicient evidence is in, and even from Cardoza him self, to satisfy the committee that his removal trom the High school is an absolute necessity. “HYPOCRACY. There isnothingso damaging, to those who claim to be honest, than hypocracy, It is the chief char- acteristic ot the human mind; and the idol of the profligates. Flat- tery is but a hypocritical concep~ tion of the treachervus;it is the stock in trade of the unworthy which penetrates the mind of the flattered, until the designs of the hypocrite have been accomplished. A just man often falls avictim to hypecrites; the good woman re- ceives her condemnation from this class of lecherous demagogues, no man or women is safe even in a reclused spot. The vulgar tongue is against the most virtu- ous; the slanderer is at work witb bitter infectives against tha in- nocent; the pulpic is not safe; the babe in the cradle is predicted for if it demonstrates feats unusual to the bahes of years ago. But the hypocrite will preach his own ser- mon; he will sing his own praises thanks for engraving of the Rocky mountains. @ appreciate them highly, we assure him. until justice stands it no longer. OUR PURUOSE. It is our desire to make the Br a daily newspaper as such a paper is needed at the capito! of the nation. We can run one and you all know it, bul to start one we need your support, will you give it? We shall defend the innocent and expose the guilty and if the editor himself is nut pure in heart, the columns of the paper shall be open to apy and all who will sign their names to what they may write. We shall take no notice of anonymous communications, and those who have personal grievances now and _ hereafter must sign their names to articles as the editor will not publish them unless they are signed. We re- reseve the right to throw any and all matter, not meeting our appro. bation, into the waste basket. We shall not publish objectionable advertisements, nor shall we publish notices unless they are paid for. We give one notice to persons who bring their job print- ing to our job office and give one set of fine visiting cards to per- sons who bring 20 jobs to the office. Referring again toa daily pa- per, we desire to be understood that we mean to start one. We propose, with the aid of the peo- ple, to give employment to our young men and women who are preveuted from entering the white printing offices. We have already | two young ladies employed in this office and another one to come in mext week. We offer great in- Cucements to our young men who desire to learn the printing trade. At present we are crowded, but in a few more months we expect to start a womans monthly jour- nal and put at the head ot it, one of the most talented female writers in this city. The paper wil! be conducted entirely by ladies. We shall give full particulars of this new journal for women next week. Subscribe to the Bee. 5c pe ca a a loam PROF. BROWN VIDICATED. Already sufficient evidence is in to justify the special committee, in- vestigating the charges of Prof. Cardoza against Prof. Brown, to justify the committee to report a vindication of Prof. Brown. On last Monday evening Misses Katie Park and L. F. Barney, two excel- lent young ladies, who were sum- moned by Mr. Cardoza, testified, | but their testimony was the vindi- cation of Prof. Browne. They tes- tified that Prof. Brown conducted himself as a gentleman; that his class was a success, &c., and that he is guilty of nothing that would warrent them to spsak otherwise of him. Not one of Cardozua’s witness- es have sustained his malicious charges and hehimself substaniat- ed all that the Bee has said. His own testimony has been conflicting, evasive and vascillating. The special committee should bring in a straight, forward vindication for Prof. Brown, and to this Dr. Fran- cis, whom we know will do what is right, ought to appoint Prof, Brown principal of the High school. With such a man at the head of our High school, we know the people would have a school of which they will be proud. Justice demands that Prof. Browne be placed at the head of the High school. Col. Holland, who has had charge of Prof. Browne’s case, was satisfied with every wit- ness Mr. Cardoza put on the stand, aud at the conclusion of Misses Park and Barney’s testimony be re- fused to cross examine them. Prof. Browne could not have selected better witnesses himself than those summoned by Mr. Cardoza. If Dr. Francis wants a good High School and one that will reflect credit on the people, let him appoint Prof. Brown. OUR ADVERTISERS. Our colored citizens should feel congratulated to know that Messrs. Saks and Co., 7th and Market Space have employed their friend and young citizens, Mr. P. A. Dixon, one of the salesman in their great clothing house. We all know Mr. Dixon-and bis worth to the people in this city, especially his own people and it is boped that our patrons and color- ed citizens may appreciate this recognition of one of our young men and liberally patonize this house. We have others amoeg the more fortunate race, while they have not seen the nevessity offoppointing -our young Men and women as salesmen, they patronize our newspapers which enable tthem to exist. Robinson Parker and Co., corner of 7th and D streets at one time employ- ed a colored saleman, and why they dont know, is better kown to themselves. Bnt they never fail to support colored institutions. There are others who have adver- tised in our paper and beleive that colored enterprises should exist. Among them, we mention House and Herrman, 923 ‘th street, Bachscmid and Myers 10 07, 7th street n. w’, Goldstien, 912 7th street n. w., Heilbrun, 402, Tih street n, w.. Dalton and Co., 939, Penn., ave n. w.. W. H. Herrover, 313, 7th street n. w., Burnstine, 361, Penn., ave n. w., not mentioning our colored sup- porters who are in business aud | doing well, who were mentioned some time ago in this paper. It is the duty of our people to unite and support those iustitutions that support us. Read carefully our advertising colum ns and act accordingly, nn COUNSELS EXCLUDED. The scheme of Mr. Cardoza did not work well. His appeal to the board of trustees over such re- putable gentlemen who are inves- tigating bim, will result in his removal, ‘lrustee Cornish stated to the board that Cardoza refused to answer questions, ‘This itself should cause his immediate re- moval from tue school board. Col. Holland, counsel for Prof, Brown, forced Cardoza to run, al- though he declared that he was an “ignominus.” [f little of the ignor- ance were removed from the princi-~ alship of the High school, there would be an improvement. There seems to b& some of the Curdoza’s South Carolina tactics creeping in our schools, and we advise - the trustees to make @ change as soon as possible. Our schools should be clear of politicians of the Car- doza stamp. Weknow that Dr. Francis is very busy; we know that his professional duties and sickness in his immediate family have caused him to lose much labor, notwithstanding, we hope that the Doctor will stick until this libel_is thoroughly investi- gated. The success of our High school greatly depends upon this investigation. The people are watching these proceedings; they are watching every member of this committee and they will not be satisfied until there is achange in the principalship of the High school. Cardoza is a politician; he hails from South Carolina; his record there failed to stand the calcium light; be has come to this city and since he hasbeen iu our Highschool there has been dis- ruption. Cardoza thought that his salvation was the exclusion of counsel, but it will not win. From present indications, there seems to be a muddle among all parties. We are nleused to know that Hon. B. K. Bruce is meeting with orations wherever he speaks. We understood that there were only fifty negroes in the democratic. procession in New York, and 20 of them were boys, paid to swell the number. We hope that Dr. S.R. Watts, Gov. Gleeves will make another effort to give an industrial fair in this city. We think the time will be about ripe after the election Lieut. in November. Don’t be too certain to assert that Gov, Hill will carry New York for Cleveland. Secretary Whitney failed to harmonizize the fight when he visited New York last week. We have just received trom the publishers the lives of Harrison and Morton, handsomely bound and full of valuable information Grover Clevelands term of office will expire March 4th; 1892. —Indianapolis Freeman Gen. Harrison willbe inaugur- ated March 4th, 789. The American people welcome among them, Mr. C. H, Kemp Sturgeon of Antigua and will ever appreciate his noble tribute to woman. Mr. Sturgeon finds that the British government is no place for a poor man. Where a principal is allowed to intimidate pupils under him by threatening to dismiss them from school if they refused to testify, is sufficient In Itselfto remove him. We want to see how mach heart this special committce has. We want tosee if this high handed piece of intimidation can be car- ried on without a protest from our committee. C. IL. J. ‘Taylor, wuo seems to tuke great pleasure in abusing J. Milton Turner, should first con~ sider kis own case. Had we {known that gentleman wus in town last week the Bre would {have made it very hot for him. At all events he shall he given jin opportunity to prove his pub- lished assertions. Elsewhere in this paper will be read a circular ot Mr. Geo. Allen Mebane, of N. C., handed to us by a gentleman and voter of the state, who has the success of the party at heart, and we take the liberty of reproducing the same jand think that it is the duty of every republican to support Mr. Cheatham since the withdrawal of Mr, Mebane. The mayor of Baltimore, in his speech at the colored fair, before an audiance of 12,000 people com- plimented Mr. J. 8. Davis, a mem- ber of the Baltimore bar. Mr. Davis has gradually won his way and gained the confidence of the people of Baltimore by his gentle- manly deportment. We congratulate our young friend upon the success of the fair in which he was interest- ed and which proved to be a suc- cess. Prof. F. L. Cardoza, Secretary of State of South Carolina during the reconstuction period, and principalof the high school at Washington, D. C., isone of the ablest colored men of the country. He strikes the key-note when he says, “It the Republican party has liberated the bodies of the colored men only to ensiave their minds, their last stat2 is worse than the first. The man of party who would prevent the freedom ot action of the recipient of a favor from him does not deserve the gratitude which he wishes to use asachainto bind and destroy independence.—Indianapolis Free: man. Mr. Cardoza is endeavoring to hedge Mr. Cooper. All Mr, Car- doza possesses to-day the republi- can party give him. He admits that it by was the democratic party | office. of South Carolina that jailed him on the charge of embezzelments and if that beso, how can Mr. Cardoza have any love for a party that took from him his honor and reputation. The only thing that sav ed Mr, Cardoza from being rele- gated to the rear was his resigna- ion to the Secretary of the Treas~ ury just before Mr. Cleveland took his seat, to accept of a position in our colored High school. The democratic party understands Mr, Cardoza, and all the hedging he can do will not placehim in favor with that party. eh The card of Mr. Frederick Douglass, Jr., published in the evening Star of Motday evening October 8, and which is reproduc ed in this weeks Buz is atelling rebuke to a national: buffuon, who knows no more about the negroes of this country than seme of the most ignorant tribes in Africa Mr. Douglass shows cunclusively that C. H. J. Taylor doesn’t know what he is talking about and the number of colored democrats he states will vote for Mr. Cleveland in the North cannot be found. We commend the letter as an ex- cellent reply to a man who is more damaging to the democracy than he is a bsnefit. ee or Hon. John W. Daniels, and his Virginia delegation are indignant, over the snub they received from President Cleveland, —o The report of Dr. C. B. Purvis, of the Freedmens Hospital shows the healthy condition of that institu- tion. Weare indebted to Dr. Shadd for a copy of the report. The “Blaine Invincible Campaign Club” should feel congratalated. The meeting on last Saturday even- ing and the banner raising indicat- es the enthusiasm manifested through-out the country in the in- terest of Harrison and Morton, LET MAHONE FOLLOW. A WORTHY REPUBLICAN WITHDRAWS FOR THE GOuD OF THE PARTY A REGULAR NOMINEE OF THE 2ND N. C. DISTRICT WITHDRAWS FOR HIS RIVAL, For some time there has been two candidates in the 2d N. C. Dis- trict, which caused the republicans to lose the district and a democrat was elected. Severai months ago the regular convention nominated Mr. George Allen Mebane, and Prof. A. P. Cheatham was also nominated by another:faction that claimed to be the regulars. Mr. Mebane, who is anxious to see the party succeed issued the following circular : TO THE REPUBLICANS of the 2nd Congressional district of North Carolina. FELLOw CITIZENS: You aware of the controversy existing in this District between Prof. H. P. Cheatham and myself, and you have seen by thejletters written to him by me relative to the same that I have used every honorable meaus to properly adjust the mat- ter, thereby assuring the election of a colored Republican from this District to the 51st Congress of the United Stetes, the only chance whereby the coldred man can be directly represented in the legis- lative halls of this republic.

But thousands of poor men, women and children are looking to us as republicans to pro- tect, as near as possible, their in- terests.
